By Noli A. Berioso
One of the country’s most respected and premier designer Arielle Agasang is scheduled to mount a grand charity gala fashion show entitled “Ako ay Filipino”, which will also serve as tribute to the most influential personalities of the country for the year 2020.
Starting this year, the annual event will be the venue to honor diverse and dynamic Filipinos in all fields of expertise and the various sector of the society. The chosen recipients will be further screened by a special committee composed of people from different media and government sector.
A press launch was held last February 26 at the Sampaguita Room of the iconic Manila Hotel to usher the coming charity gala fashion show. Hosted by John Night, a mini fashion show was presented to the guests and members of the media invited to cover the event. The show featured some of the Filipiniana collections distinctively by Agasang and executed by the country’s leading mannequins.
Arielle is the top honcho of Agasang A1 Entertainment Productions, the company that will mount the big event in June. They also produced beauty pageants, fashion shows, gala nights and other special events all over the country. The entity aims to expand its horizon by paving the way to pay tribute to the most influential Filipinos for the year 2020.
Initial list of awardees include Senator Nancy Binay, Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto, singer Jed Madela, Manila Mayor Iskho Moreno to name a few.
The inaugural event will be held at the Centennial Ballroom of the Manila Hotel on June 13 this year entitled ARIELLE AGASANG ; A FILIPINO FASHION GALA AND TRIBUTE TO THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSONALITIES OF THE YEAR 2020. There will be a red carpet and heavy cocktail to start the evening, followed a special fashion show and the awarding ceremony. Entertainment will be provided by some of the country’s top performers and international artists.
Part of the proceeds from the charity gala will be used for the construction and improvement of Our Lady of Assumption Parish in Lavazares, Nothern Samar, the event’s main beneficiary this year.
