It was quite a long holiday for everyone. Take a look at how our Tatler friends enjoyed their vacation and embodied their summer spirits this year

It's currently the week after the Easter holidays, and we're all back to reality: either in the four walls of our offices or the comfort of our school campuses. Before we fully submerge ourselves down the rabbit hole, however, let's take the time to see how the few days off from work or school affected some of Tatler's closest companions.

Our Tatler friends spent their vacation in a joyous mood. Whether under the summer sun's heat, on a religious pilgrimage, or through an intimate dinner with family and friends, the Tatlergrams below show us how our friends spent the holidays in a festive spirit.

Take a look at the Tatlergrams of our friends here:

Alice Eduardo

Filipino businesswoman Alice Eduardo spent Easter with her family by having an intimate dinner at Tagaytay Highlands. Notably missing are Small Laude, her husband Phillip, and their kids, who enjoyed a trip outside the country. Regrettably, Laude commented on her sister's Instagram post, "missing everyone (heart eyes emoji)."

Cyndi Fernandez Beltran

A series of unfortunate events happened to Cyndi Fernandez-Beltran and her family before attending the Vatican Easter Mass.

"Let me tell you, I've had so many people discourage me from going and thought I was crazy to go on Easter Sunday to The Vatican," shares Fernandez-Beltran. "[But] it was everything I had hoped it would be, if not probably even more... [Sitting] at 12th row, [we] heard the most beautiful Mass in Latin on this beautiful Easter Morning."

Karen Davila

With her family in tow, journalist Karen Davila enjoyed the snow and cold of Switzerland. 

They took the time to explore the city, enjoying several vacation spots, particularly Matterhorn, where they enjoyed skiing and witnessing a 3,883-meter-high crucifix of Jesus Christ. 

Their family also visited Leukerbad, a snow village with baths flowing from thermal springs at 51 degrees Celsius. "It's the only place I've been that's so cold… but you can go out in a bikini for a hot bath," says Davila. 

Iza Calzado-Wintle

Actress Iza Calzado-Wintle took the more reflective route, looking back at God's mercy and grace and confessing how she's grateful for her first Easter as a mother.

"As I celebrate my first Easter as a mother, I can only say thank you for the biggest blessing in my life, my daughter Deia. God's love is more palpable than ever in our home. May your home be filled with God's love and grace today and every day," she says. 

Ben Chan

"I've gained a new friend @phillipcorpsflowers (Phillip Corps), a down-to-earth & talented florist from London," says Ben Chan in his Instagram post. Celebrating Easter Eve in the company of his friends allowed him to have a lovely evening and listen to amazing stories. 

Cristalle Belo-Pitt

Nothing beats the joy of a full-fledged photoshoot. For Easter, Cristalle Belo-Pitt shares an adorable Stork Studio portrait of her daughter, Sienna, in a bunny outfit.

The model and television host preferred the own beaches of the country, with her family flying to Boracay for the holidays.

"The Philippines has so many beautiful beaches and islands, how lucky are we to call this home," she shares in one of her Instagram reels. 

Laureen Uy

Another Tatler friend, Laureen Uy, enjoyed the warmth offered by Boracay's beaches. In her post, she boasts that she's a "Sunnies girl," with her wearing a complete ensemble of Sunnies Studios.
