On Thursday, November 20, Rolling Stone Philippines welcomed the first honorees into the inaugural Rolling Stone Philippines Hall of Fame, marking a milestone moment in the publication’s history. The ceremony celebrated and brought together icons whose influence spans film, media, sports, and culture at large. For the first time, Charo Santos-Concio, Kidlat Tahimik, Vic del Rosario Jr., Paeng Nepomuceno, and Mike Hanopol of the Juan Dela Cruz Band stood together under one roof, honored for shaping the national identity across generations through their craft and invaluable contributions to their fields.
THE NIGHT BEGINS
Before dinner, guests moved freely around the ballroom, clicking glasses filled with pre-show cocktails from the minibars and capturing the moment at the event photo areas. Presenters Rico Hizon, Erwin Romulo, Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski, alongside Sandwich’s Raymond Marasigan and P.O.T.’s Red Dela Peña, arrived early, coming together with personalities who were there to witness history in real time.
Nordic Spirit and Ploom curated experiential lounges that elevated the evening beyond a traditional program. One installation featured a photobooth, offering guests the opportunity to capture portraits, while another showcased retro televisions as inventive backdrops for striking photos. Each setup was designed to engage attendees directly, allowing them to explore the brands’ product offerings while immersing themselves in thoughtfully crafted environments.
