She is a woman of style and distinction, known in Iloilo’s high society as a lover of diamonds, darlings.
So when Virgie Salinas marked her 80th birthday with a dinner-dance affair at the flower-adorned Grand Ballroom of the upscale Courtyard by Marriott Iloilo, she truly sparkled.
Looking elegant in a blush pink Djohn Clement gown, the celebrant made a grand entrance to cheers from her family, friends and well-wishers.
The celebration opened with a red carpet welcome and cocktail hour, accompanied by soothing live strings, piano and violin performances.
Guests enjoyed an exquisite dinner, free-flowing wine and a spectacular ambiance orchestrated by her daughters Aura Febe Salinas Collins and Karen Salinas-Day, who flew in from abroad.
Live acoustic crooner Joel set the mood with retro disco hits, drawing guests to the dance floor to show off their terpsichorean flair, darlings.
To our Tita V.S., cheers to more years of dancing and celebration!
