Hotel 101 Manila: My Home to the Exciting MTV Evolution 2016

The Mall of Asia has been a destination for international events in the metropolis for years now. From the sought-after concerts, parties, sporting events to even social, cultural and, religious ones, this place is definitely taking the attention of the world and happily sharing the beauty of the Philippines to everyone.

And just recently, the world’s top music channel, MTV, held its biggest Asia-wide event here where a great number of local and international performers gathered together to give their fans one evolution-tastic night – the MTV Evolution 2016.

One Republic - Secret

In partnership with Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) Philippines of the Department of Tourism (DOT), MTV Evolution 2016 rocked the world of music fans from all over Asia as they brought together Philippine pop superstar father and son-tandem Gary and Gab Valenciano, Filipino pop darlings James Reid and Nadine Lustre, Billboard Hot 100 artist, American singer-songwriter Bebe Rexha, Korea’s favorite K-pop idol female group, Apink,  L.A.-grown electric dance trio Far East Movement and the iconic international pop band and prolific hit-maker OneRepublic.

Rieseling Boracay Beach Resort: Where the Sun Shines Brighter

For a busy international tourist destination such as Boracay Island, many would assume that it is already saturated with all the bests that it could offer to its guests. But I think, what makes this island worth-visiting OVER AND OVER AGAIN is its unique, loving people and their hospitality regardless where you came from and whatever activity you have in mind.

I celebrated my 33rd birthday in this beautiful island a month ago. It was an out-of-the-blue decision, filled with excitement to drown the broken-hearted feeling that I had that time. But just like most of the travelers, I have to watch out for my budget as I don’t wanna go broken and broke at the same time. Haha! Special thanks to my three Superfriends for tagging along, the expenses were cut down to almost half and to this this new-found place here in Boracay that offers a outstanding escape from the typical Boracay experience.

Instead of going the usual Boracay trip of enjoying the White Beach and partying at night, our group decided to book two rooms at Rieseling Boracay Beach Resort. A tranquil and very accommodating beach resort fronting Bulabog Beach, which is located on the opposite side of the world-famous White Beach of Boracay. Rieseling Boracay offers a sun-shinier spot equally filled with beautiful view, amazing amenities, exciting activities and loving Aklanons. The only difference, which I personally appreciate is its peacefulness and superb service that you don’t normally get in an off-site accommodation.

The Eight Bs of B Hotel in Quezon City

Quezon City is definitely one of the many destinations in the metropolis where you could get as much inspiration as you want to feed your heart, mind and soul. With all of its colorful spots encapsulating this full-of-life and developing city, a new and vibrant boutique hotel is adding comfort, arts and style to the heart of the city, the B Hotel by Bellevue.

Situated along the quiet and peaceful street of Scout Rallos in Brgy. Laging Handa, Quezon City, B Hotel is the latest piece of work from the Bellevue Group of Hotels, which portfolio spans in Manila, Alabang, and Bohol. But unlike its other properties, B Hotel takes pride of its elegantly industrialized artistic features, all under the scope of a budget-friendly price.

To give you a quick glimpse of what’s in store for you and for your loved ones in this enlivening spot at the heart of Quezon City, here are the top 8 ideas I gathered as I enjoyed my stay here in B Hotel:

Coco Beach Island Resort: The Best of Puerto Galera

The end of summer is just around the corner. Rain showers and dark clouds start hovering the country, signaling another wet season for everyone. But just in case you are thinking of one-last-summer hurrah which won’t break the bank and just a few hours away from the metro, I’m highly suggesting that you go and visit the serene and lovely place of Coco Beach Island Resort at the other side of Puerto Galera.

Located at the north-western tip of Mindoro Island, Coco Beach offers a breathtaking view of Batangas Bay with a serenity of a real private island and an accommodation fit for a king. With its wide selection of rooms and amenities that families, group of friends, couples or even solo travelers could enjoy, Coco Beach also offers some astonishing activities that one or all could enjoy while staying at this heavenly side of the island.
