Dressed to give

Another fabulous season of fashion for a cause went underway as the Philippine Cancer Society (PCS) and Best Dressed Women of the Philippines recently staged the 2017 Best Dressed Women of the Philippines Annual Awards Ball at ShangriLa at the Fort in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

Led by the inimitable event chairperson Angola Consul Helen Ong and PCS chairman Antonio

Ma. J. Guerrero, alongside the dedicated selection and organizing committee members Jayelles’ Roselle Rebano, Mabel Abaño, Tanzania Consul Betty Chua, Roy Gonzales, Gambia Consul Agnes Huibonhoa, Mario Katigbak, Marian

Ong, Sandie Poblador and Elaine Rojas Villar with your columnist standing as adviser, the highly anticipated event was attended by noted personalities from the diplomatic, business and social circles.

The 2017 Best Dressed Women of the Philippines awardees confidently walked the runway garbed in stunning gowns by the country’s best designers. Similarly, the 2017 Men of Extraordinary Influence looked dapper in their crisp designer suits and tuxes as they took centerstage. Once again, the evening served as a clarion call to join the fight against cancer.

Many thanks to our generous sponsors San Miguel Corp., Okada Manila, Insular Life, BA Securities, PAGCOR, CATS Motors Inc., Czarina and Alice Eduardo, 2nd Avenue and 105.1 Crossover FM Manila.

Congratulations to the Philippine Cancer Society and the Best Dressed Women of the Philippines for yet another successful awards ball!
