Cris’ famille and closest friends of 80 were in attendance for the night, some of which were pals from way back before she became one of the “queens” of the champagne crowd.

The celebration in her penthouse home could not be any more perfect as it was a night filled with love and laughter and endless singing. Since I can’t carry a note, I left early.

A toast to luxury

Autostrada Motore chairman Wellington Soong

Toasting with the upscale Remy Martin XO Cognac in hand, Wellington Soong welcomed the latest addition to the gorgeous Ferrari stable, ushering in a whole new world of driving experience for Ferraristas.

Ferrari GTC4Lusso, a major evolution in the sporting Grand Tourismo concept, was recently launched in Manille. It was held at the ultra- luxurious Grand Ballroom of Okada Manila — a glittering event attended by Manille’s leading car enthusiasts and a veritable who’s who in Philippine society with fat bank accounts, palanggas.

The program was highlighted by a musical performance by Nicole Asensio and her jazz-band trio. Elegantly hosted by the muy simpatico Paolo Abrera, the grand reveal came with a fanfare of lights with the LED screen splitting open and the soundtrack of the sonorous revving of the 12-cylinder Ferrari GTC4Lusso dramatically emerging.
