MARIA CECILIA GOLEZ TIONGCO @ 18

IT could have been a much-talked about celebration in Cosmopolitan Iloilo if not for the pandemic lockdown.

Dr. Napoleon Tiongco and his stylish wife Sheilla Golez-Tiongco, who are known for hosting smashing parties, opted for a family only dinner party at their home in the upscale Puerto Real Subdivision.

The occasion?

It was the much-awaited debut of their youngest daughter Maria Cecilia!

And as expected, sophistication was stamped all over the fabulous interiors of the Tiongco abode which was bedecked with fresh flower blooms and accentuated by flickering candles thanks to The Little Company Inc.

Blessed with beauty, brains, and breeding, the Princess of the Night was stunning in a Tiffany blue, one shoulder bell sleeved gown that was styled with silk organza and tulle ruffles, courtesy of haute couture AJ Javier.

Adding sparkle to her gown were Matsuno Japanese beads and bits of Swarovski crystals. A Vintage Coco Channel Jewelries completed her awesome ensemble.

Beaming with pride were the debutante’s family led by her parents, banker and business mogul Dr. Napoleon Tiongco, who looked dashing in a black suit; and Sheilla Tiongco who was dressed in a vintage gown from her mom Cecile Gustilo Golez.

Completing the fashion flare were the other Tiongco children – Judith Marie and Mary May who both wore stunning Bo Parcon ensembles, and Third Tiongco.

A five-star eclectic fare prepared by the versatile Nonoi Ybiernas were served such as lobster in creamy white sauce, baked salmon caper in olive oil, lengua in mushroom sauce, and spaghetti ala putanesca.

Cool Moet and Chandon-Rose Imperial Champagne with truffles and French macaroons spiced up the memorable family evening.

Cheers to our Princess, Maria Cecilia Golez Tiongco and God bless your journey in life, palangga!
