A new branch of Corso Como 88 has recently opened at One Ayala Mall in Makati City and several local celebrities and personalities graced the event in their white and gold ensembles.

Among those who were present during the ribbon cutting of the luxury boutique's opening were Corso Como 88 owner Imelda Sciandra, GMA Network Senior Vice President for Corporate Strategic Planning and Business Development and Chief Risk Officer and Head of Program Support Regie C. Bautista, Italian Ambassador to the Philippines Marco Clemente, and Mariana Zobel de Ayala.

Kapuso stars Rhian Ramos, Kyline Alcantara, Ashley Ortega, Roxie Smith, Gabrielle Hahn, and Pamela Prinster attended the opening of Corso Como 88 in style. Sparkle GMA Artist Center Senior Talent Manager Tracy Garcia was also present at the event.

In an interview with GMANetwork.com, Imelda Sciandra shared her excitement about the opening of Corso Como 88 in One Ayala Mall.

She said, “It's such an exciting project. Of course, it is always a work in progress. We tried to keep up with the times, with the style, with the sophistication of the people of Manila in the Philippines. We're always on our toes, so that keeps us really busy because we try to bring in stuff which are not yet here in Manila.

“And, of course, everything should be from Italy kasi that's where the passion comes from, the craftsmanship, and the workers in Italy put into the products that they have, it's really, really amazing.”

Imelda is also ecstatic to have brought some new luxury brands to Corso Como.

“There's a lot more coming and we have it here. It's the first time that it's in the Philippines [and it can] only be found in Corso Como,” she said.

Meanwhile, Corso Como 88's first branch is located at Ayala Malls The 30th in Pasig City.
