A musical afternoon

The ever gracious Pitang Lopez-Tiongson celebrated her birthday with her family and dear friends at the Manila Polo Club. Pitang, arm in arm with her husband Ric Tiongson, looked absolutely youthful and lovely in her elaborate terno as she walked to each table to greet her guests.

The birthday celebrator indulged her guests with a mini-concert of timeless kundiman songs. She serenaded her guests as they partook of the elegant spread of late-afternoon fare at the Turf Room. True to form, the gentle-voiced philanthropist requested a donation be made to the Alagad ni Maria in lieu of gifts. 

Wishing you more blessed years, Pitang!

A new take on healthy living

The metro’s fitness icons all gathered at the Bonifacio High Street Central Amphitheater for the launch of No Body is Perfect, a coffee table book authored by renowned photographer Jun de Leon in partnership with his lawyer-friend, former Justice Undersecretary Al Agra. This one-of-a-kind project, which is also the first literary venture of the Kape Teybol Buk Publishing House founded by Jun and Al, featured over 50 well-known personalities from different fields, all having one thing in common: their passion for healthy living.

Gracing the book launch were some of the book’s featured personalities including Department of Health Assistant Secretary and spokesperson Dr. Eric Tayag, models Tweetie de Leon-Gonzalez and Rissa Mananquil-Trillo, model-actress Sam Pinto and star athletes Bong, Mozzy, Thirdy, Keifer and Dani Ravena.           

Congratulations to Jun and Al for this health-inspiring project!
