IN PHOTOS: The ABS-CBN Ball 2023 red carpet looks

MANILA, Philippines – After four years, one of the country’s most highly-anticipated events, the ABS-CBN Ball, finally made its grand return. 

Over 100 established personalities in the local entertainment industry — from veteran celebrities to rising stars — gathered on Saturday, September 30, at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel. 

The 2023 edition served as ABS-CBN’s first ball since the COVID-19 pandemic and the ABS-CBN shutdown, hence the theme “Forever Grateful.” 

Here are some of the most memorable red carpet looks at the ABS-CBN Ball 2023:
