Joel’s twins turn two!
The second birthday of Filipino perfume icon Joel Cruz’s beloved twins, Prince Sean and Princess Synne, created quite an excitement among the well-wishers present. The Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila’s fully air-conditioned Tent was transformed into a fantasyland festooned with anything giant, colorful and round, with clowns, jugglers and living statues to the delight of the little ones and their guardians.
The party was a double celebration as Joel’s beloved mom Milagros also celebrated her 86th birthday that night. Joel, president and CEO of Aficionado Germany Perfume and Joel Cruz Signatures, was especially thrilled to have Vice President Jejomar Binay, his wife Elenita and their daughter Sen. Nancy Binay among the jubilant guests.
The lovable twins were simply adorable at the party. We can understand why Joel can’t wait to go home after a busy day at work! Tea for Tango
