Yesterday the Summit girls had the opportunity to be the first audiences to the Olay-sponsored F reunion talk, where the ladies of the popular late ’90s fashion, travel and lifestyle show were back on the same couch again after 11 years. Daphne Oseña-Paez, Angel Aquino and Cher Calvin, former F hosts, real-life friends and most recently, Olay’s newest beauty spokeswomen, chatted with us and offered a glimpse into their present lives and filled in the gaps since their gig more than a decade ago.

Being one of the show’s loyal viewers, I couldn’t help but get a bit nostalgic myself; when they introduced themselves, inadvertently in the order and manner they used to do on the show, we all felt that inner collective awww, only experienced by those who fondly look back on some really awesome memories.

Yesterday’s casual meeting marked the actual first time they’ve all seen each other (Cher was down with a fever the first two days she came to Manila), so before it formally started, a lot of LOL-ing over old albums–and past fashion missteps–took place. Then an earnest admission came, that aside from sunbathing, which both Daphne and Angel agreed was their biggest beauty mistake, the Cher-initiated “skirt over pants” phase was certainly the most hilarious.

Now all settled down and successful–Daphne a producer and host of home and lifestyle show Urban Zone, Angel an iconic model and host, and Cher, an Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist in the U.S.–the girls now reunite years later and share their winning stories as part of being Olay’s brand ambassadresses. Fans and curious cats should make a note to catch the special F reunion show, airing September 27th, 10pm on ABS-CBN, to catch up on the golden times of local beauty, fashion, travel and lifestyle with these lovely ladies.
