Norma's Turn
Norma Rosales
Always one for entertaining in style, top hostess Norma Padilla Rosales celebrated her annual Dinagyang dinner party with smoked Norwegian Salmon and wines in a garden party at her early 1900's Strawberry House. A Moroccan-style tent had been erected to take the brunt of the unpredictable January weather. The garden was accentuated by colored birang torch lights which add eda distinct happy ambience to an all ready elegant surrounding made all possible by the talented stylist Boni Gaverza.
A sumptuous dinner was catered by the great and ever reliable Ding Montelibano with his signature mouthwatering Callos, Roast Herbed Chicken, Beef Wellington and Lengua Estofada, Pasta with two sauces and Russian Salad which had everyone stamp their 5-stars approval. Of course, the Rosales party would never be complete without Norma's three charming daughters namely Pangging (also a top hostess), Pane and Baby doing the sideshow hosting which they performed with such flair and drama. Seen having a fantastic time were businessman Richie Garcia, PAL's Edwin Armonio with lovely wife Chiquit, jeweler Susan Florete with daughter Marjorie. Trix and Marissa Gorriceta, designer Jasmine Castelo, TNT's Marichel Magalona and banker Susie Facultad.
Guests at the Strawberry House
Guests from here and abroad were greatly impressed with the soiree that they hope to have much more of this type in the near future. No wonder the whole group together with the Rosales Girls just can't have enough and continued to party in chichi Smallville with Paris-based artist and Man of Allure Emmanuel Lopez up to the wee hours of the morning …but then it's another story!!!
