Manila's hottest young trendsetters gathered to celebrate their being Proud Pinoys. One of today's most dynamic international brands of designer watches, o.d.m., recently unveiled the iconic Tim Yap-o.d.m. Limited Edition Watch II in a hot, supreme party at the Rockwell Tent.
More than 250 celebrities, trendsetters and partyphiles attended the much-anticipated event. Present to welcome guests were top executives of L Timestudio, the exclusive distributor of o.d.m. in the Philippines, and Frank Lam, o.d.m. head of international sales & marketing who flew in from HongKong to grace the event.
"This is an absolute celebration of Pinoy pride," a visibly pleased Lam said. "The turnout is really amazing. It's a show of support for the Tim Yap-o.d.m. Limited Edition Watch II, which is a reflection of the ultra-modern, highly fashionable taste of today's Filipinos. At the same time, the Tim Yap-o.d.m. Limited Edition Watch II embodies the design ideals of odm—original, dynamic and minimalist."
Also present to welcome guests in the event were L Timestudio's president Ivan Yao, managing director Emerson Yao and Lorenz Manalang, marketing manager.
True to the event's "A Proud Pinoy 24/7" theme, the party took on a nationalistic feel when rapper Francis M went onstage to render a passionate performance of his anthemic '90s Tagalog rap song "Mga Kababayan." Before the chorus of the song, fashion icon Tim Yap joined Francis M.

Also proudly wearing their limited edition watches while enjoying the party were TV personalities Phoemela Baranda, Issa Litton and Kat Alano; fashion icons Celine Lopez, Joey Mead who came with Ian King, Brent Javier, and Borgy Manotoc.
Of course, media hotshots Maurice Arcache, Ernie Lopez, Grace Glory-Go, Pepper Teehankee, Philip Cu-Unjieng, Donnie Ramirez, Resty Vergara, and Anton San Diego partied as well.
Making the event even more glittery were society figures Mons Tantoco; Divine Lee, who showed up with friend Adriano Cartullanes; Vicky Belo who was with Hayden Kho; Wyngard Tracy, JP Reyes, and Dennis Lustico.
Like its first edition, the Tim Yap-o.d.m. Limited Edition Watch II comes with a patriotic scrolling LCD display, "I'm Super Proud to be Pinoy" which makes the piece define the new style of Filipino time.
