The Philippine Rotary Magazine Foundation, Inc (PRMFI) made sure that this Rotaract Year ended on a high note.
Before the year officially draws to a close, Rotarians, PRMFI trustees, PRM Editorial Board, staff and Rotaractor awardees all gathered for one memorable night at the Conrad Manila Hotel in Pasay City.
It was the PRM Awards Night and everyone was expected to dress their best, in long gowns for the ladies and black tie for men.
The Forbes Ballroom, where the event was held, was filled with navy blue round tables and white flowers, all fitting for an awards night of this caliber. The stage was lit with gold and blue lights, having a podium on both sides and three LED screens.
