MANILA, Philippines — Rupert Jacinto’s The Fab Gala was held recently at the grand ballroom of Marriott Manila. Marriott’s cluster director of marketing Mitch Garcia welcomed the guests who looked fab in their ‘Haute Couture in black, white and gold” gowns. The beautifully decorated ballroom was done by Robert Blancaflor. Now on its 10th year, the Faaabvlous Fab Gala was even more spectacular, with the exhibit which was held at the ground floor lobby. The event was earmarked for the advocacy of the Advertising Foundation of the Philippines and for the ‘Ako Ang Saklay’ drug rehabilitation center.
Special highlights of the evening were: the new theme song “Faaabvlous”, music by National Artist Ryan Cayabyab, arrangement by Danny Favis, lyrics by Rupert Jacinto and sung by Brendon Banares; the presentation of the Faaabvlous Heart awardees, the Faaabvlous of Spirit, the Faaabvlous Women, the Forever Faaabvlous Women, the Faaabvlous Edge and the Men of Faaabvlous.
