Every year, exemplary men and women who serve to inspire are recognised at the Philippine Tatler Ball

One the highlights of the Philippine Tatler Ball is the presentation of its annual awards. Exemplary individuals who serve as models to emulate are honoured on the evening of the Ball, with each one called on stage to receive a handsome trophy and specially chosen gifts.

The categories may have stayed the same throughout the years, but all are not sure to be given every year; it depends on whether or not there is a perfect fit of person to the award.

Here are the five awards for 2015.


Couple of the Year: Lito and Kim Camacho

The Couple of the Year Award went to Lito and Kim Camacho, who were gifted with two round-trip tickets from AirSwift and a three-day, two-night accommodation in a Lagen Forest Suite for two. Lito mentioned the fact that a few years back, he was the recipient of the Distinguished Gentleman Award and that he was now more thrilled to share the limelight with his equally accomplished wife, Kim.


Entrepreneur of the Year: Myla Villanueva

The Entrepreneur of the Year was Myla Crespo-Villanueva, recognised for the trailblazing strides she has made in the business sector, particularly in the field of internet technology. And she achieves all these with an absolute inspiring grace. Villanueva was given two pieces of luggage from Rimowa as well as Sisley products.
