Jose "Pitoy" Moreno : A Tribute Gala was held at the Edsa Shangri-la Hotel last November 21, 2011. Pitoy Moreno, a national artist, is hailed as the "Fashion Czar of Asia." He has brought the country's national costumes to worldwide recognition. Above photos feature KC Concepcion (my fave local artist), 2011 Binibining Pilipinas International  Diane Necio, 2010 Binibining Pilipinas World Czarina Gatbonton, celebrities like Bianca Manalo, Karylle, and Denise Laurel. 

25th PMPC Star Awards for TV - 2011 (2)

Bianca Manalo

Denise Laurel

Gladys Reyes

Lea Salonga

Here are some more pictures from the 25th PMPC Star Awards for TV. There are a few other pictures but I just chose the ones with gowns I like. Seen above: Bianca Manalo - co-host of "Happy Yipee Yehey"; Denise Laurel - whose comeback I await.. liked her team-up with Rafael Rosell; Gladys Reyes - the ultimate "kontrabida" (antagonist).. she truly plays the role like no other; Disney legend Lea Salonga. 

Bianca Manalo

Bianca Manalo represented the Philippines in the 2009 Ms. Universe Beauty Pageant held in Bahamas. Although she didn't bag any major awards, she was supported and cheered on by the Filipino communities here and abroad. Since her Ms. Universe stint, Bianca has already joined local Philippine showbiz and even starred in her own TV show, "Juanita Banana." I remembered watching bits and pieces of the show and found it funny and entertaining. She is now one of the hosts of "Happy Yipee Yehey." Bianca's latest controversy includes being linked to co-host John Pratts.
