Naxional South American Diner in BGC

September 29, 2016 ·

Naxional South American Diner is another colorful, hip place that has opened in Bonifacio Global City or BGC. In fact, so hip that Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach had her birthday celebration here this week. On weekends, one can also easily spot those expats and good-looking Brazilian models who have made Manila their home. But that's not really the point because the resto transports one to vibrant South America from its interiors alone, dominated by brick walls and eye catching murals or paintings. And on that day in August when they opened Naxional to the ... Continue Reading...

Kidzania Manila Games 2016 until August 20

August 1, 2016 ·

My youngest daughter Lucia had been to Kidzania Manila before during a field trip. She went there again last July 22 with me accompanying her this time. What can I say: I had a blast being there for the first time. Am amazed there's now a place in Manila that enables our children to role play or give them an idea how it is to work for a living. It's educational and so entertaining at the same time. I highly recommend a visit. At the entrance, we were strapped on with this high-tech bracelet. Parents like me will be 100% confident that we won't lose our kids ... Continue Reading...
