Boy Abunda's 'Love Affair' With 'La Carmela'

The owner of the popular resort, Boy So, is our dear friend who's a true-to-life Santa Claus. La Carmela celebrated its 20th anniversary with a bang last April 26. Its tagline goes "Happy Morning, Happy Twenty."

Of course, Tito Boy, his longtime partner, Bong Quintana and I joined the revelry. Also at the event were newly crowned Miss Eco International Alexie Brooks, Sitti, Duncan Ramos, Princess Velasco, Kreonz Band, VMX stars Matt Francisco, Jenn Rosa, Yen Durano and RJ de Vera.
