An Enchanting Evening Under the Stars
The grandeur of the evening was evident in every sparkling detail. The resort shimmered in captivating star-themed decorations, setting the stage for an unforgettable night. Guests were instantly entranced, entering the soothing melodies of harpist Holly Angel Paraiso, setting the stage for the night’s spectacular events.
A Symphony of Stellar Performances
The ceremony reached its crescendo as the Cebu Philharmonic Orchestra played harmoniously, joined by the spellbinding voice of soprano Crystal Oliva and the elegant dances of the University of Cebu Dance Company. As if the stars descended from the skies, celestial gods and goddesses graced the event, adding a layer of mystique. They were Nica Zosa, Miss Summit International 2021; Kiara Liane Wellington, Reyna ng Aliwan 2023; Clare Inso, Miss Universe Philippines Lapu-Lapu 2023; Kenneth Cabungcal, Man of the World 2023; and James Vidal, Man of the World 2022.
But what truly captured the essence of the night was the NUSTAR-exclusive Installation of Stars. Outstanding Cebuano achievers, like young singer-songwriter Jared Almendras representing the Star of Joy; International Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Federation Toronto Open Champion, Ethan Mondigo, symbolizing the Star of Peace; local interior designer and founder of an online fashion hub for emerging designers, Kate Ngo, embodying the Star of Love; Head for Environmental, Social, and Governance for a top venture capital firm in Asia, April Ong Vaño, representing the Star of Hope; and NUSTAR’s very own Chief Operating Officer, Alan Teo, shining as the NU Star.
