The Philippine Heritage Society promotes Filipino arts and culture, as well as Filipino creatives. The society will hold The Philippine Heritage Society Ball 2022 on Monday, July 25 at the Fiesta Pavilion of the Manila Hotel. The glittering soiree, on the other hand, sets to mesmerize its attendees from various social circles.

The society decorates the venue with the refinements of Old Manila society. They will also fashion its program into a Quadrille Ball. LyrOPERA co-presents the event. The opera, then, will perform magnificent music that complements opulent Filipino decor elements. This would also include Capiz shells, Anahaw leaves, and Sampaguita blossoms.

The event will feature true Filipino and glamorous segments. Aside from a waltz dance and a fashion show, an awarding ceremony will remain as the ball’s segment.

Waltz Dance

Filipino Balse and classic Kundiman songs will render the waltz arrangement. This will also create a special air of elegance and sophistication. This also complements the nostalgic style of waltz dance and the east-meets-west music. Attendees will also don reimagined versions of the traditional Filipiniana fashion like the barong and the terno.

Furthermore, fashion will remain best promoted as a great and uplifting part of heritage and culture in the segment. This fashion show will have muses and personalities in the social circle, business, finance, fashion, culture, and the arts. Then, opera artists from the LyrOPERA will serenade renowned Filipino fashion designers. Meanwhile, these muses model the reimagined versions of the traditional Filipiniana.
