Camera club of the Philippines celebrates 98 glorious years
The Camera Club of the Philippines (CCP), led by president Paul Resureccion, marked its 98th anniversary in distinguished and festive style at the Manila Golf & Country Club in Makati
City, with the theme “Through the Lens, One World: CCP at 98,” inspiring members to don colorful costumes celebrating nations and cultures from around the globe. Adding prestige to
the elegant gathering were the organization’s newly inducted honorary fellows, Jollibee Group co-founder and executive chairman and Jollibee Group Foundation chairman emeritus Dr.
Tony Tan Caktiong and US Ambassador to Bangladesh Brent Christensen; lifetime member Tilak Hettige; and the glamorous Mutya ng Pilipinas queens.
Musical performances by the Peppermint Band and the husband-and-wife duo Thibault and Marga Momper brought lively cultural flair, while former CCP president and Informatics
Philippines founder Leonardo “Leo” Riingen earned Best in Costume honors. Founded in 1928, the venerable organization continues to champion photographic excellence and camaraderie as it proudly looks ahead to its centennial in 2028.
