Red-letter day

Century Tuna turned one during a night of elegance, fashion and music dubbed "The Red Runway." Century Tuna Red Label was the celebrant of the night, which paid tribute to everything red.

In keeping with the theme of red elegance and sophistication, the Rockwell Tent was transformed into a massive chill-out lounge draped in white, highlighted by bright red lights that accentuated the decor. Guests partied the night away with an electronic music set by Drip and sexy lounge grooves courtesy of DJ Karl Ty of Superfly. Highlighting the event was a fashion show featuring hot new collections from designers Jun Escario and Ivar Aseron.

Samsung honored Randy Ortiz and Joanne Zapanta-Andrada for their achievements in and contributions to their respective fields at the grand Ultra Life event recently held at the Rockwell Tent.
