When the Phillippine Tatler, the country's top society arbiter throws a party, it's definitely a much anticipated event. More so, with the magazine's celebratory fifth anniversary as the reason, the affair was the hottest scene of the season. Making it Manila's most elegant and well attended celebration.

Nothing and no one was spared by the awesome reception Tatler is known for, overflowing MOET & CHANDON champagne and a wide array of hors d'oeuvre were served by white gloved attendants. Even the most photographed women in the country and the well respected men of the industries famous for their "rich in money but poor in time" lifestyle were seen hobnobbing and having a relaxing evening before retiring to the Rizal Ballroom for dinner and entertainment.
