Threads of compassion weave at the Manila Hotel
Asian Hospital Charities Inc. (AHCI), serving as the official corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm of the Asian Hospital and Medical Center (AHMC) under the leadership of president Dr. Ma. Rosario Sevilla and executive director Maine Gatbonton, took center stage at The Manila Hotel as they orchestrated a dazzling benefit fashion show entitled “Asian Cares: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.”
The meaningful affair, spearheaded by the hardworking event chairperson and project head Dr. Joy Ejercito together with the organizing committee members and directed by the visionary Raymond VIllanueva, showcased Filipino ingenuity and creativity through the use of indigenous textiles, as seen on the stunning and intricately made creations of featured designers Ronaldo Arnaldo, Frankie De Leon, and Petra Lim.
Showing support for the noteworthy gathering were AHMC president and CEO Dr. Beaver Tamesis alongside prominent names from the medical and social circles. Also highlighted in the said occasion was the innovative strides of the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Textile Research Institute (DOST-PTRI) in further developing and promoting native fabrics and textiles. With exhibits and art displays, including works by the Toledo Neo Artist Group, the affair honored as well notable personalities such as Dr. Jorge Garcia and lawyer Arthur Tugade, embodying the spirit of community service and positive change.
