The Manila Polo Club was transformed into an all-white Brazilian paradise to celebrate the birthdays of Club Bulakeño president Milo Bondoc, vice president Beging Soriano and officers Letty Calma and Sonny Tanchanco. The momentous gathering, which was attended by the club’s members and guests, was more than just a party; the proceeds from the event were also donated to the club’s various scholarship programs and disaster mitigation campaigns. Starting off with Latin and ballroom dancing, the venue then burst into a cacophony of white lights, ceiling splendor, giant feathers and Brazilian models who joined the guests who arrived in their fabulous white outfits. Everyone enjoyed having their scrumptious dinner against the backdrop of bossa nova music as well as the parade of the stunning Carnival Queens and Empresses. It was a fitting celebration for four well-loved Club Bulakeño leaders.
