Celebrating love & family
“… Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.” — Denis Waitley
Your columnist had the privilege of hosting a dinner in honor of the charismatic and internationally known fashion designer Ito Curata, his partner Bob Miller and their son Taj Curata at Phoenix Court in The Bellevue Manila in Alabang. The event served as a double celebration as it was also lawyer Rene Puno’s birthday.

Always serving the best in Chinese cuisine, Phoenix Court was the perfect venue as it is Ito and his family’s favorite restaurant.
The always hospitable The Bellevue Hotels & Resorts (BH&R) chairman Johnny Chan himself also came by to greet and touch base with the guests.
