A graceful debut
Radiant debutante Armelle Bondoc, the beloved daughter of actor-entrepreneur Onemig Bondoc and Valerie Bariou, celebrated her milestone 18th birthday with an elegant soiree at the scenic La Cumbre Estate in Quezon City. Hosted by her doting paternal grandparents Nitoy and Milo Bondoc, the heartwarming affair gathered family and friends, including the celebrator’s brothers Antoine, Andreas and Thirdy, maternal grandparents Raymond and Pollyanna Bariou, and uncle Olivier Bariou, for an evening of music, laughter, and culinary delights.
A live piano performance by close friend SanMig Ruiz Villaseñor lit up the night, while a showstopping, two-tiered strawberry shortcake by Monique’s and perfectly roasted lechon added delicious charm to the festivities.
Truly a sparkling night for a graceful young lady stepping confidently into her next chapter.
A toast to Rene
The ever-charming Ann Puno hosted a delightful dinner at their elegant Alabang, Muntinlupa City residence to celebrate the birthday of her beloved husband lawyer Rene Puno. Surrounded by family and close friends, the evening was filled with joyful laughter, heartfelt toasts, and engaging conversation. Ann lovingly prepared a delectable spread highlighted by her signature chorizo de jamon, truffle mushroom croquettas, cochinillo, chicken relleno, callos, and more, paired perfectly with fine wines and spirits. The sweet finale of pineapple upside-down cake, cassava, and warm chocolate chip cookies made the night even more memorable.
