“One of the main highlights was the Miss Philippine Independence Day 2024 pageant. The event also featured a buffet of delicious dishes, including food platters, main courses and desserts, complemented by very attractive decorations both at the venue and per table,” Ms Martin said.
“Photo opportunities were abundant, as Filipinos love taking pictures and selfies. This positivity added to the occasion, creating an atmosphere of laughter and joy.
“We look forward to welcoming you to our future events and celebrations.”
