(November 8, 2006) Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, assisted by Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita award the Presidential Medal of Merit to Monique Lhuillier, a Bridal designer, member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and Hollywood's "A-List" fashion designer.

Diane Monique Lhuillier is a Cebuano fashion designer based in the United States. She was born and raised in the Philippine province of Cebu and is of French and Cebuano descent, hence her typical French last name meaning "oilmaker".

Lhuillier's family is one of the more prominent names in Philippine high society. The family owns a chain of pawnshops currently operating in more than a hundred cities in the nation.

She made the news with two high-profile celebrity weddings in a row. She designed Christine Baumgartner's wedding dress for the fall 2004 wedding to Kevin Costner shortly after designing both of Britney Spears's wedding dresses in her wedding to Kevin Federline.

Subsequently Lhuillier added evening wear to her line, and several of her efforts showed up on red carpets before awards shows. For the Fall 2007 season she branched off into more typical oddball runway collections.
