MANILA, Philippines - Talk of “allure” and you see images of women  different images that exude the same irresistible appeal.

In honor of women, the Allure section of the Philippine STAR celebrates them — their accomplishments, their contributions to society, their joys, their grace, their beauty, their uniqueness, their dreams.

Today and next Sunday, we are giving these alluring women a distinct salutation.

We enjoin you to be one with us as we roll out the red carpet for these captivating Women of Allure.                                    ­                  

Special thanks to Ms. Vanessa Suatengco and Ms. Melanie Pallorina, the management and staff of the Diamond Hotel Philippines.
