HALO-luia!

Manila’s club scene is resilient! The arena never ceases to amuse me especially since another hub will be added to Manila’s nocturnal dweller loop. Halo club located at the end of Mile Long in Amorsolo Street is indeed pumping with zest. I have seen the hip circuit assembly and solicited questions describing this new home of exuberance. Here are the answers to our questions of why we should dance our way to halo and praise Halo-luia!

Mico Mendoza

How do you describe the vibe at Halo?

The music is fun and hot! The vibe is all about dancing and enjoying oneself. Everyone is connected with the music.

Would you bring your younger sister to Halo?

Ha! Ha! When she turns 18 and she has to be with me, but I need to behave to be a good example which is a challenge.

Francesco Lops

What kind of music made your feet jump?

Absolutely house music! Halo played my favorite songs which are A Different Feeling by Avalanges and Say You’ll Be Mine by Mimosa featuring Angle Giles. And to my delight, it made me raise my arms and my feet jumped!

Sarah Simmons

Where in the club can you be found?

Without doubt on the dance floor because the DJs are amazing!

Yotam Izakov

How did you find out about Halo?

I know Halo through my party buddies. We usually arrive around two in the morning.

Katrina Delgado

Who brought you to Halo?

Oh gee! I can’t remember the first time! All I knew was it was a blast! And my second time was with my dive buddies.

Faith Lavarro

What drink will you be holding at Halo?

I am the ultimate San Miguel Light girl, because it keeps me light and bubbly

Ched Hilado

How do you prepare for a night at Halo?

I relax at home and start thinking of how good the party scene will be. No fashion crisis, just being spontaneous.

Parish Chua

How do you dress up for Halo?

Usually, I wear what will make me feel good and comfortable. My obsession with eyeliner is visible, and knee high boots are definitely part of my fashion statement.

Kara Tolentino

Who will you bring at Halo?

Benicio Del Toro will be in arms

What will make you come back to Halo?

My newly acquired singlehood, the fashion statements of the regulars, and the scandals to be witnessed.

And what time will you be here tonight?

I will be there after hours!
