This September, the Philippine edition of Town & Country
celebrates its fourth anniversary by paying tribute to the five Wonder Women of
2011. These women were chosen not only because of their intelligence and
character, but also because of their accomplishments in their chosen
vocations.
The Wonder Women were recently honored at a cocktail party held last September
7 at The Conservatory in The Peninsula Manila. This year’s roster
includes Geraldine Javier,
for her work in the visual arts; Winnie Monsod, for her accomplishments in education and media; Josie Natori, for being a pioneer in global
fashion; Soccoro Ramos,
for her achievements in business; and Rissa Hontiveros Baraquel, for her
role as a political activist. Baraquel also graces this month’s cover.
In addition to honoring this year’s Wonder Women, the cocktail party
also gathered Town & Country’s list
of 101 People You Must Meet Right Now – a product of a sit-down lunch between founding editor Monique Villonco, Lizzie
Zobel, Doris Ho, Margarita Fores, and Sevrine Miailhe. Featured in the August issue, the list includes
the most notable names in the country, “a compelling selection that ranges from
glamorous actors to intellectual and a wide swath of interesting people in
between,” says editor-in-chief Yvette P. Fernandez.
The Town & Country Wonder Women event was co-presented by Citibank,
How cute Cecile's pin. It's sooooo her.
