The venue was draped in rich fabrics, making it resemble a sandy dune with a harem of beautiful scantily-clad women.
Foxy ladies and cousins Lexi Schulze and Bianca Araneta hosted the event as a packed crowd of fashionistas and ogling males came in full force. Tabu owners Amanda Griffin and Isabel Engwa were seen busily preparing their models.
Voluptuous models, among them Phoemela Baranda and Viva Hot Babes Jennifer Rosendahl and Christine Jaca, presented the swimwear that shows off the innate beauty and shapely figure of Filipina women.
Present at the turnover were Rear Admiral Ildefonso Tronquet of the PCGA; Major Don Bridgers of the JUSMAG; Capt. Romy Herman; Squadron Commander of the 101st PCGA; and Capt. Armando de Rossi.
Andy’s son Michael is also carrying on his father’s energetic spirit through scholastic and athletic achievements.

He led the team to victory with the highest score of homeruns and also has a batting average of 600. The All Stars is led by team manager Dito Borromeo.
