This is the first time that we are having such an event and we are looking forward to improving it and make it an annual event.”
The night was full of entertainment, and was hosted by Jhoshi Alexander Valencia. Delicious appetizers courtesy of Caprice were also served. The girls participated in a mini fashion show and even engaged in a question and answer segment.
