The main lounge was decked out with exquisite décor for a glamorous night of art and entertainment for a cause. Among the esteemed guests at the Charity Gala were Senator JV Ejercito; Cavite Mayor Strike Revilla; former Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) Chairman Philip Ella Juico; internationally-acclaimed glass sculptor Ramon Orlina; philanthropist-socialite Tessa Prieto-Valdes; former Miss Universe Gloria Diaz; and TOYM awardees Al Gabriel, Gene Gonzales, and Risa Hontiveros.

Guests were serenaded by no less than the Concert King Martin Nievera, Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, and broadway sensation Jenine Desiderio.

The event auctioned off masterpieces of 2006 TOYM awardee and world-class brass sculptor Michael Cacnio, and award-winning sculptor Juan Sajid Imao. Auctioned off alongside these reputable pieces were the works of Filipino artists—Maestro Angel Cacnio, Jun Martinez, Menchu Arandilla, Al Perez, and Dr. Ton Raymundo. These works were the yields of that night’s on-the-spot painting session.
