“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.” – Henry David Thoreau
Beauty, compassion and elegance overflowed recently at Greenbelt 5 in Makati City during the unveiling of the Philippine Cancer Society’s (PCS) 2012 Best Dressed Women of the Philippines photo exhibit. Through the collaborative efforts of PCS and the Camera Club of the Philippines, the event showed the captivating portraits of this year’s awardees and Style Icons. They all get together to help PCS raise more funds for its cancer awareness programs.
Alongside the awardees were the 2012 Best Dressed Ambassadors for Life who endlessly extend their support for the success of the annual gala. The 2012 Best Dressed Women of the Philippines chairman, Angola Consul Helen Ong, led the gathering with a ribbon-cutting ceremony along with PCS president Dr. Roberto Paterno, Camera Club of the Philippines president lawyer Manolo Roxas and 2012 Style Icon Carolyn Tan. The event was extra special because 2012 Best Dressed awardee Agile Zamora even had guests who flew in from Spain and the United States to support the worthy cause.
Distinguished guests enjoyed refreshing cocktails and a delectable feast from French Baker through the kindness of CEO Johnlu Koa.
Congratulations to the teams behind the event and see you at the awards night!
The 9th Best Dressed Annual Awards Ball is set on Sept. 26, 6:30 p.m. at the Rizal Ballroom of the Makati Shangri-La. This event is sponsored by EastWest Bank with media partners Lifestyle Asia, The Philippine Star, Philippine Daily Inquirer and The Manila Bulletin.
