• From Karen Schinnerer, US Embassy Press Attaché: If they (the US veterans) can’t come to Cebu, not a problem! U.S. Veterans Affairs will find a way to accommodate them to ensure they get their new benefit! They do not need to go to Cebu if they are bed-ridden. We don’t want those who can’t travel to do so. More information about the application process will be available shortly; we’ll ensure you get it. For now, if veterans or their families have questions, please direct them to the website: manila.usembassy.gov or they can call 632-528-2500.

There she was in a red-terno in couture tulle by Wendell Quisido walking the red carpet.
Let’s congratulate the very charming Carmen Camille “Menchie” G. Logarta who had all the reasons to be excited about her debut last Feb. 15, which was held at the Heritage Center, The Assumption Our Lady Convent Rectory Courtyard in Poblacion, Dauis (a perfect for fine dining, debuts and parties!).
Even her classmates at the Cebu Doctors' University in Cebu City (Menchie is taking up Bachelor of Science in Nursing), expected it to be the biggest day for Menchie.
Her mom, Fe Lograta (nee Galgao), spent weeks making sure everything was perfect.
Menchie missed her dad, Carmen “Menchu” Logarta, on the very special occasion of her life.
The vibrant debutante changed costumes thrice during the event. Menchie’s red gowns were designed by Cebu fashion designer Wendell Quisido of Wendell Quisido Boutique in Lahug, Cebu City. She also wore an elegant black gown designed by EJ Relampagos.
Menchie graciously welcomed friends and special guests to the fabulous celebration.
The event was made more memorable with the presence of Menchie’s grandma, Dean Jesusa Corazon Jamero vda Logarta (Menchie was so happy that her lola who was not feeling well at that time made it to the debut--LPU) and some personalities such as Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bompat, Dr. and Dra. Minilo Timaan and Mr. and Mrs. Gerard Logarta.
It was some three months ago when Menchie’s mother made her decide once and for all what it was she wanted for her 18th birthday. For Menchie, the “party was the best gift of my mom.”
Menchie wants to become a fashion designer; however she needs to finish nursing first. She shares, “I like what Sir Winston Churchill said it is not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what is required.”
When seasoned host Raul Gatal announced the start of the proceedings all jumped into place, ready for their grand entrance.
Following tradition, 18 gentlemen and 18 ladies offered roses and candles to the debutante …And there was Menchie tracing her steps to the center of the venue.
Everyone’s attention was on her. Menchie was all smiles, acknowledging the welcome applause.
It was indeed a memorable night, one that went on past midnight with Menchie and her friends taking over the dance floor. Mama Fe and Lola Corazon could only sigh in relief as they were watching the visitors dancing the night away—and watching daughter Menchie marked a milestone in her life.
Mama Fe said, “I love you very much and thank the Lord for the gift of you. Not only are you my only daughter, but now that you are grown, you have become the best friend of my heart as well.”
Now, let us get to know more about Menchie and see what she has to say.
What qualities made you look at a boy twice? The cuteness of his smile.
Have things changed since you became a lady? Not at all. as what my mom told me nothing change except of the fact that my age is 18.
