On July 21, 2025, despite the passing typhoon, Vivian Yuchengco, Laly San Luis Etroit, Cynthia Heussaff, Belay Ronquillo, Paula Kalaw Feria, and Marlyn Krishnan made their way to Studio 88 in Nagcarlan, Laguna. Their visit was a testament to the power of art and community — undeterred by the weather, they came with warmth, curiosity, and deep appreciation. The guests spent the day immersed in the distinct beauty of Ponce’s creations, making the visit not only memorable but also profoundly inspiring.
