1 of 10

The second year of the Manila Style Collective will be celebrated by honoring men and women of the Philippines for their achievements, excellence, accomplishments, service, fashion sense and style at the much-anticipated Philippine Stylish Men and Women 2025 Awards.

This was the night when society figure awardees graced the red carpet in runway-ready ensembles, with the flicker of flashbulbs capturing every shimmer of couture gowns, tailored tuxedos and sparkling accessories.

Sparkling on the scene was one of the awardees, Iloilo’s own renowned pulmonologist Dr. Rollin Tabuena, who captivated attendees with his charisma and impeccable taste. Wearing stunning Nono Palmos and Raymond Gonzales creations, he stood out as one of the evening’s head-turners, earning admiration for his distinctive bearing and effortless style on the fashion runway, dahlings.

In recognition of his selection as one of the Philippine Stylish Men and Women 2025—an honor celebrating individuals who embody excellence, elegance and influence in style and fashion—Dr. Tabuena is widely respected in the medical field for his compassionate care as a pulmonary specialist. Beyond his professional achievements, he is an advocate for community welfare, participating in charitable initiatives including support for Bahay Aruga, where proceeds from the activity will go. He is also known as one of the “Dancing Doctors of Iloilo,” promoting healthy living and serving as a role model of positivity, wellness and civic pride within the Iloilo community.

More than a red-carpet affair, the event fused high fashion with meaningful recognition—from Style Icon honors to lifetime achievement tributes—creating a refined celebration of creativity and class. Spearheaded by Dr. Mitzi Flores Piad and Mr. Karr Marin, the key organizers of this noble affair, the gala was held under their leadership as CEO and chairman of the Philippine Stylish Men and Women 2025 Awards Night.

The glitzy fashion soirée was expertly directed by Nathan De Leon.

This dinner fashion awards night’s ambiance was elevated by exquisite details—lavish floral arrangements, warm golden lighting transitioning into moody sophistication and a live ensemble providing a graceful soundtrack that complemented the night’s luxurious atmosphere.

Edsa Shangri-La’s signature hospitality added to the allure, offering seamless service and an environment that was both exclusive and welcoming.

By the end of the evening, the Stylish Awards had accomplished more than just celebrating fashion.
