Warm camaraderie and heartfelt tributes filled the penthouse of the DelRosarioLaw Centre in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City, as DelRosarioLaw, led by senior partner lawyer Ruben Del Rosario, hosted an elegant farewell cocktail reception for former Norwegian Ambassador Christian Halaas Lyster, marking the successful conclusion of his distinguished diplomatic mission.

Friends and colleagues from the diplomatic, legal, maritime, and business sectors gathered to celebrate the ambassador’s remarkable contributions to strengthening the Philippines and Norway relations, particularly his steadfast support for the maritime community and the Philippine-Norwegian Business Council. The memorable evening was a fitting tribute to a respected diplomat whose legacy of friendship, goodwill, and cooperation will undoubtedly endure.

A taste of Parisian Chic

An air of unmistakable Parisian elegance was truly present as Dean Decker hosted the first-ever Roger Vivier shopping event held at the store located at Greenbelt 3 in Makati City, welcoming the metro’s stylish set for an intimate afternoon of fashion and refinement.

Guests admired the maison’s latest collection, featuring its iconic sparkling buckles, sculptural silhouettes, and timeless craftsmanship, while enjoying champagne and delectable canapés. By evening, the boutique had transformed into a chic and celebratory gathering, effortlessly capturing the sophisticated charm that has made Roger Vivier a beloved name in luxury fashion.
