Connoisseurs of fine jewelry and all things elegant have reason to rejoice as Bulgari, the world-renowned symbol of Italian prestige and success, opened its new boutique at the second floor of Rustan’s Tower inside the upscale Shangri-La Plaza Mall.
The new boutique sports the distinct design concept of Bulgari stores around the world, with chic interiors that serve as an elegant backdrop of the brand’s range of luxurious jewelry, watches and leather goods.
The boutique, prominently positioned at the brand-new entrance of Rustan’s Department Store, will be managed by Bulgari country manager Mario Katigbak.
Gracing the event were Italian Ambassador Massimo Roscigno with his lovely wife Agnes and Marivic Vazquez, among others. Known for its timeless elegance and quality, Bulgari has long been synonymous with magnificent jewelry collections that now include watches, leather goods and accessories.
Bravo, Bulgari!
A celebration of friendship
Spending quality time with friends is one favorite activity that Alice Samson likes to do. The lovely stunner organized an intimate get-together for her closest friends where everyone shared treasured stories and hearty laughs over sumptuous dishes and overflowing drinks.
Among those present were Manila Mayor-elect Joseph Estrada and wife Dr. Loi Ejercito, Angola Consul Helen Ong, Zambia Consul Louie Ablaza, Guatemala Consul Mellie Ablaza and Wilcon senior executive vice president and COO Rose Bosch-Ong.
Truly, everyone who attended will remember this fun and remarkable gathering. Looking forward to the next one, Alice!
