At the Design+TECH Mixer last night where we met some interesting new people from various design & tech related fields. Familiar faces included Tony of Proudcloud, John of Webgeek and new contacts at Angat Manila (Jason and Jam), Business World (Danet), GlobalArt (Elbert and Lorra), Mike of Blue Blade Technologies.
The event was held at the 4th floor of Trinoma near the cinemas. It coincided with the launch of the exhibit of Ambassadors of the Philippine Brand. You’d see the exhibit of illustrations done by various artists—and you could still the exhibit at Trinoma until May 12.
The evening started with cocktails (a light dinner, really, yum!) catered by Via Mare (or was it Cibo?) with music by Electronica Manila. A brief speech and more networking.
Brian Tenorio brilliantly explained the purpose of the event, which is part of Design Filipino. How Filipinos and foreigners across the world know about Filipino personages in boxing (Manny Pacquiao), fashion and beauty (Angel Aquino, Venus Raj), arts (Charice Pempengco), and selected others.
