Another 'Faaabvlous' affair

“There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.”  — Ansel Adams

It was a stellar evening as the country’s most prominent personalities flocked to the Gallery of The Peninsula Manila as the international award-winning artist and photographer Rupert Jacinto launched his coffee table book entitled Faaabvlous II along with an awe-inspiring photo exhibit. It was held in partnership with the Advertising Foundation of the Philippines and co-presented by Air France-KLM.

The Gallery never looked more fabulous than ever with the magic touch of event master planner Jun Jun Ablaza. The evening turned into a royal affair as The Duchess of Calabria, Marquesa de Valdeolmos, Marquesa de Campo Real, Marquesa de Tamarit and several aristocrats from Spain graced the launch and exhibit. More than being an event filled with glitz and glamour, it was also a way to support the Love-A-Parish program of the Sto. Niño de Paz, which supports various churches across the country.

Congratulations, Rupert, for another super successful and faaabvlous affair!
