The event was marked by musical performances including saxophone soloist Vince Lahora who played some easy jazz, including the soundtrack to Sex and the City.

Soothing jazz provided by soloist Vince Lahora made for a classy dining atmosphere through the day

A portion of the proceeds from Backyard Grill was donated to the Down’s Syndrome Association of the Philippines, Southern Living’s chosen charity. The association also had their own booth during the event to help raise awareness and spread the advocacy.

This event was presented by Southern Living magazine and powered by Hinge Inquirer Publications in cooperation with Globe Telecom, Krispy Kreme Philippines, and Megaworld Global Estate Inc.-South. Special thanks to Sun Life Financial Philippines, and our media partners When In Manila, INQUIRER.net, Inquirer Mobile, Inquirer RED magazine, Preen.ph, and Scout.
