International luxury brand Jewelmer is known for its elegant reimagining of celebrated myths and stories, and its La Mer en Majesté collection is no exception. Aphrodite has arrived on our shores and she’s none other than Miss Universe Philippines 2022, Celeste Cortesi.
Our modern-day goddess is set to compete at the Miss Universe 2022 coronation night on Jan. 14 (morning of Jan. 15 in the Philippines) in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, and hopefully bring home the country’s fifth-ever title.
Wearing luminous pearls, vibrant gems, and delicate textures embodied in the stunning La Mer en Majesté crown — made exclusively for the Miss Universe Philippines 2022 winner — as well as earrings, necklace, and ring, Celeste pays homage to the home of the golden South Sea pearl: the majestic seas.

Cheers to Caloy
Carlos Montemayor, fondly known as “Caloy” to his family and friends, celebrated his 46th birthday at Ruby Wong’s Godown bar, one of the unique dining spots of Admiral Hotel Manila’s MGallery in Malate, Manila.
Led by his beautiful and loving wife Irene and attended by their children and lifelong friends from the business and social circles, the joyous event was a celebration of a brilliant man whose life is full of love, generosity, and compassion as well as a feast of revelry, music, melody, rhythm, and blues.
“Every year has always been a never-ending surprise, but my latest birthday party is more significant and meaningful because we were (all) thrust into uncertainty for almost three years because of the pandemic,” the dashing celebrator shared. “I feel that it is most important for me to fully appreciate my blessings, live at the moment with meaningful joy, light, and love, and continue my personal mission to serve others and society.”
