The intimate gathering sparkled with stellar performances by violinist Jay Cayuca and the graceful Gerphil Flores, setting a refined tone that carried throughout the night. As the celebration progressed, equally gifted guests took to the spotlight, including soprano Camille Molina, actor Richard Yap, soprano Aliana Neri, and talented Bo Muralla, each adding their own flourish to the festivities. It was a beautifully curated affair — warm, vibrant, and brimming with love — and truly a memorable tribute to a life well-lived and deeply cherished.

Powerful in pearls

In a luminous tribute to International Women’s Month, Jewelmer, the renowned high- jewelry maison, elegantly celebrated the remarkable women whose passion and precision bring its coveted golden South Sea pearls to life. From the ever-curious spirit of marine biologist Doris to the meticulous hands of long-serving pearl technician Thessa, and the refined artistry of craftswoman Lisa, each story glows with dedication, pride, and quiet strength. Their shared vision is as radiant as the gems they nurture — pearls that embody gratitude, confidence, and timeless elegance. Indeed, behind every exquisite creation of the Maison lies a powerful narrative of femininity, resilience, and beauty shaped by the sea.
