For February, we all know how Filipinos go crazy about celebrating Valentine's Day. Manila Hotel, currently on it's 100th year in operations can't be left behind as far as V-day promotions are concerned. Englebert Humperdinck, that 70'2 crooner who used to make your mothers swoon with his croon will be having a show in the Manila Hotel Ballroom to accompany a set dinner.
For the younger set, the hotel is staging the Fuerza Bruta ( Brute Force) at the Manila Hotel Tent. The Spanish production does a sort of suspended animation performance as they dance and glide above the heads of its audience. They actually even have a clear pool suspended overhead to do some sychronized swim and dance moves. I was there while the company was rigging for their upcoming performance. Most of them are Spaniards and they will be rocking Manila Hotel after each performance at the same venue as there are parties till the wee hours.
After the inspection was done, the Shell execs were out the door with me to do a rolling tour of Rizal Park and Intramuros. It was a slow drive and we took short stops along Quirino Grandstand, Army-Navy Club, Museo Pambata, Rizal Monument, Cory/Ninoy Monument, Simon de Anda Circle, Aduana Gap, Fort Santiago, Plaza Roma, Manila Cathedral, San Agustin, General Luna Gap, Puerta Real and then we went through to TM Kalaw where I showed them the rest of Rizal Park, The National Library, The National Archives, Luneta Hotel and then we retraced our route back to Manila Hotel. After which, the Shell execs decided to walk around to catch the setting sun in Manila Bay.
I went back to Cafe Ylang Ylang with our coordinator to further discuss their plans for this huge event happening next year... Here's wishing them the best of luck!
