All for the love of Mayor Abby Binay!
The ever-charming Makati Mayor Abigail “Abby” Binay’s delightful visit to the City of Love was celebrated with an elegant merienda cena hosted by none other than philanthropist Dr. Sandra S. Gomez.
Dr. Gomez graciously stood in for her son, top-tier Makati lawyer Mark S. Gorriceta, a close friend of Mayor Abby.
The venue, the stylish Bizbar of the plush Richmonde Hotel Iloilo, was transformed into a chic and cozy space by none other than Dr. Sandra’s daughter, the glamorous chef Pauline Gorriceta-Banusing. Known for her culinary artistry, Pauline curated a sumptuous spread that combined French and Spanish influences with Asian flair. Guests were also treated to her signature La Paz batchoy, a nod to Iloilo’s culinary pride.
Mayor Abby radiated warmth and charm throughout the affair, mingling with Ilonggo guests who eagerly joined in the celebration. The atmosphere was abuzz with camaraderie and joy, making the occasion an unforgettable highlight of the season.
Mayor Abby’s visit to Iloilo has once again highlighted her deep connections and enduring friendships in the region, making her presence a true source of inspiration and joy for Ilonggos. Cheers to a memorable merienda cena and many more delightful reunions!
