High Society interior designer Jonathan Matti, loyal BFF court archiduquessa Sonsoles Barretto and royal r-t-w princess Karen Santos had already jetted in the day before to attend the Banker’s Ball with ING-Singapore’s top banker CEO Bing de Guzman and his ultra glamorously fashionable wife Cathy de G.
