Our "Palangga" Mr. Maurice Arcache at The Launching of The Bridal Lookbook.

Today, Thursday, April 20, at The Theatre Lounge of Solaire Resort and Casino, Inquirer Lifestyle launch “The Bridal Lookbook”

The book launch is part of “A Wedding Affair: A Salon Show” an event co-presented by Solaire, Philippine Tatler Weddings, Bvlgari, and Inquirer Lifestyle.

It was a nice evening, I am happy and grateful for being invited to witness many beautiful works of our favorite fashion designers of the evening especially the works of Mr. JC Buendia.

To add to this event, it was my 1st time to meet and talk with my favorite Inquirer columnist, society icon, and Philippine Tatler's "Palanga" Maurice Arcache and have a souvenir picture with Consul Ms. Anette Ablan of Belarus.

I will always remember Mr. Maurice in "Oh No! It's Johnny" was premiered on ABS-CBN on October 7, 1987, hosted by Johnny Litton and it was originally aired every Wednesday night. the show was produced by Silverstar Communications, Inc. and it was similar to American late-night talk shows.

In 1992, Maurice Arcache joined the show as co-host. It was also during this period when an IBC gag show TVJ (TeleVision's Jesters) spoofed the show (as Oh Yes! It's Jimmy!) and further gained more popularity.

In 1995, Oh No! It's Johnny was moved to Sunday night and it's reformatted with Johnny's daughter Issa Litton joining the show as an additional co-host.

The show was ended in 1999 after 12 years of airing. Yet, I never forget Mr. Maurice "Palangga" Arcache whom I admired a lot in his many funny but sweet and respectful ways of expressing his thoughts.
