Like a butterfly with colorful new wings,
Johanna Vi Tuparan Cadungog, or Jovie as she is dearly called by friends and family, blossomed into a lady as she celebrated her 18th birthday at the Grand Ballroom of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Proud parents
Jovito Jr. and
Vicky Cadungog watched their daughter take her first steps into womanhood.
Clad in an elegant creation by
Aureo Alonzo, Jovie floated into the ballroom decorated with classy bouquets, ribbons, and candles. Witnessing the young lady’s metamorphosis were her
titas, who promised to act as guides in her vibrant world, and family and friends who will support her as she lives out her dreams.
Happy birthday, Jovie!
