Yahoo Philippines staged an awesome awarding event last night that literally made the fans cheer to the top of their lungs with the delight of the many fans and supporters who flocked the SM Mall of Asia Arena last July 18, 2014. The Yahoo Celebrity Awards was a truly memorable night celebrated with style and powered by the fans. Hosted by Maxene Magalona and Robbie Domingo, the night was made even more special with teh appearances of celebrities we rarely see nowadays.

It was a truly star-studded evening filled with lots of entertainment numbers by our popular performers including Maja Salvador who was the most requested to perform based on online votes so therefore the audience got its wish and we saw how charming the young My Legal Wife actress was on stage. Parokya ni Edgar, Spongecola, Gary and Gab Valenciano, Sam Concepcion, Mark Herras, Jasmine Curtis Smith, and a lot more.

Many celebrities also were tasked as award presenters like Richard Gomez, Jolina Magdangal with Marvin Agustin on video, Gladys Reyes and her husband Christopher Roxas, Barbie Almalbis, beauty queen Ariella Arida, and a lot more stars that made the night sparkle with excitement.

Let us see who walked the purple carpet of Yahoo Philippines' awards night held last July 18, 2014 at the SM Mall of Arena dubbed as the Yahoo Celebrity Awards. The likes of Annalisa star Andrea Brillantes, the awards hosts for the night Maxene Magalona and Robbie Domingo, and the collegiate basketball stars Teng Brothers Jeric and Jeron, were among the early birds who walked the purple carpet leading towards the awarding ceremonies.

Fans were all swooning over the purple carpet as they catch glimpses of their favorite stars along with some photo ops and especially selfies as the stars walked along their way. The night was filled with cheers and lots of flash bulbs from many photographers and fans who have now captured the images of many of these celebrities and made part of their portfolios, fan photo albums or even scrapbooks.

Joyce Pring led the interviews along the purple carpet as they took opportunities to chat with the celebrities before they proceed to the stage lounge to await the awarding ceremonies. I got an opportunity to only have a photo with ABS-CBN Entertainment News Reporter Gretchen Fullido and the Queen of All Media, who also won as Female TV Host of the Year, Kris Aquino.

Let me share some of the many photos I got from the event for your viewing pleasure.
