A double celebration for Robinsons!
The bustling city of Tacloban now has more reasons to celebrate as it recently welcomed two new additions to its growing list of urban destinations. Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC), the country’s premier property development company, inaugurated The Annex which is connected to the two-year-old Robinsons Place Tacloban, as well as the newest 98-room Go Hotels.
Robinsons Land Corporation director, vice chairman and deputy chief executive officer Lance Gokongwei and president and chief operating officer Frederick Go led the event which was well-attended by local government officials headed by Tacloban mayor Alfred Romualdez with wife, Councilor Cristina Gonzales-Romualdez as well as the father of Tacloban, former Mayor Bejo Romualdez, as guests of honor. Mall patrons and shoppers will surely discover a new dining experience at The Annex with its extensive lineup of popular restaurants. Fashionistas will have more shopping options for clothes and footwear with the opening of more Manila-based shops. Movie-goers are in for a treat with the mall’s two new cinemas and Tacloban City’s first 3D theater. On the other hand, gohotels.ph
Tacloban will be carrying over the same pricing concept and great hotel and room features. Travelers will also be rewarded with low rates just by booking early via www.gohotels.ph.
Search for the best, race of the toughest at plantation bay
As a venue for a singing talent hunt or a tri-sport race, the Plantation Bay Resorts and Spa led by its general manager Efren Belarmino always delivers. This was demonstrated in two big events in Cebu that literally took one’s breath away: The X Factor Philippines’ press conference and the National Age Group Triathlon Series. All the celebrity judges/mentors of the newest TV show were present in the media-packed Alcatraz ballroom—Martin Nievera, Gary Valenciano, Charice, Pilita Corrales, and KC Concepcion as host. Meanwhile, the sprawling plantation-style vacation spot on Mactan Island proved the perfect venue for the swim-bike-and-run event which had actor Richard Gutierrez among the 265 participants.
