“Every great man is unique.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
UNO men’s magazine just had a makeover and was re-launched in an exclusive black-tie affair at the Mercedes-Benz showroom at the Bonifacio Global City. The magazine’s new editor-in-chief RJ Ledesma dubbed the publication as “The ultimate in men’s lifestyle magazines.” He also mentioned during an inspirational speech how UNO has evolved what sexy is for women as it is beyond mere biology. Thus, the latest UNO cover features the sensuously classy Celine Lopez.
The event was a double celebration of sorts as RJ was feted with a surprise birthday cake by his wife Vanessa. Notable guests from the entertainment industry, government, diplomatic corps, fashion and the like were all present at the illustrious occasion. After the program, a special after-party was hosted at Members Only by Erik Cua and GP Reyes. The evening was truly spectacular.
Congratulations, RJ! Wishing you all the best!
