It's a candy world!

“A man’s character always takes its hue, more or less, from the form and color of things about him.   — Frederick Douglass 

It’s all sugar, spice and everything nice as Candyman, Inc. director Philip Laude and his lovely wife Small pulled all the stops for the seventh birthday party of their youngest and only daughter, Allison.

A first-honor student and a piano prodigy, Allison truly deserved the amazing themed children’s party. The Manila Polo Club was transformed into a magical candyland festooned with gigantic lollipops, cupcakes, popsicles, bonbons and balloons in all colors.

Food overflowed and grown-ups had fun, too, as they let their inner Katy Perry out for the day. Among those seen enjoying themselves were Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco and wife Michelle, CATS Motors, Inc. president Felix Ang and wife Grace, Liz Almoro, Pops Fernandez and Sari Yap.

Here’s to more happy birthdays, Allison!
