Mandy wore a white baptism gown made for her by famed Filipino designer Frederick Peralta, who recently designed a terno which bagged the Best in National Costume Award for Wyn Marquez in the recently concluded Binibining Pilipinas 2015.
The reception followed at the Corinthian Gardens Clubhouse, which celebrity event stylist Badang Rueda decked with light pink flowers and gold accents.
Ara's sister Cristine was one of Mandy's ninangs, but couldn't make it to the reception because she was taking care of her own baby girl.
Another famous ninang who couldn't make it was megastar Sharon Cuneta, who had previous taping commitments.
Mandy, whose full name is Amanda Gabrielle Meneses, was born last December 17.
