Rediscover­ing confidence

- by JOHNNY LITTON

Here’s a permanent solution to finally put an end to many skin worries!

Derm Asia Corp. CEO Nikki Tang and sales and marketing manager

Charles Mandy recently launched the machine called Agnes at Chef Jessie, Rockwell Club in Makati City.

The brainchild of renowned dermatolog­ist and inventor Dr.

Ahn Gun Young, Agnes is a safe and effective device that destroys sebaceous glands, the part of our skin that is responsibl­e for acne.

Known for his extensive work on dermatolog­ical research, Dr. Ahn expertly explained to the guests the nitty- gritty of how this innovative machine permanentl­y fixes not just acne but eye bags, blemishes, and wrinkles as well.

In Agnes, we may have found the ultimate solution to our dermatolog­ical woes, helping us discover confidence we have never known before. Doctors Teresita Gabriel and Tina Mangubat. Dr. Mahala Mabborang and Haydee Lui. Dr. Cyd Madayag.

Nothing compares to an elegant and sumptuous sitdown dinner with splendid food, wonderful company and priceless conversati­ons. A traditiona­l dinner party with beloved friends is a classic and certainly a custom I wish would stay.

But I find that what makes any party even more special is when it is done for a worthy cause, which is exactly what

transpired at a recent charity dinner held in Old Manila Restaurant at The Peninsula Manila in Makati City hosted by Titania Wines chairman Tita Trillo.

Guests, led by Baron Philippe Rothschild Asia Pacific director Anthony Gourmel, came dressed to the nines and enjoyed the refreshing cocktails, followed by a delectable fivecourse meal, each paired off with Château Mouton Rothschild’s outstandin­g glasses of Mouton Cadet Blanc Reserve from Graves and Médoc and Château d’Armailhac from Pauillac, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

What made the night even more extraordin­ary was that it was done for the benefit of the underprivi­leged in Tondo, Manila.

Congratula­tions to Tita for this successful charity dinner!
