“A photograph is memory in the raw.” — Carrie Latet
A photo exhibit of the 2009 Best Dressed Women of the Philippines recently captured the imagination of photography enthusiasts as well as those who value true exquisiteness at the main lobby of the SM Mall of Asia. The exhibit also included the 2009 Best Dressed Ambassadors for Life, compassionate individuals who continuously give their unconditional support towards the success of the event. Cutting the ribbon were chairman of the Best Dressed awards Ball Angola Consul Helen Ong, 2009 style icon Rhodora Nograles, Camera Club of the Philippines (CCP) president Raffy Santos, Philippine Cancer Society chairman Dr. Bobby Paterno and Mall of Asia assistant vice president for operations Steven Tan. CCP president Raffy Santos welcomed guests with a short but sweet speech. Thousands, including SM Group founder and chairman emeritus Henry Sy Sr., saw beautiful photos of the women as they savored a sumptuous spread provided by French Baker’s Johnlu Koa. The exhibit is a project of the Philippine Cancer Society (PCS) in partnership with the Camera Club of the Philippines, Creatif Foire Pro and SM Mall of Asia.
