First Dibs, third time

MANILA, Philippines - Trial and error seems to be a winning formula, but for First Dibs, it was try, succeed, haul in more people, and have an even grander t ime. On its first year, First Dibs was held in Il Ponticello with over 100 guests, and by popular demand, a second one was held on the rooftop of the Multinational Bancorporation Center on Ayala Avenue with over 300 supporters. Now in its third year, Commune Manila, one of the independent retail boutiques in the metro, is bringing First Dibs to its future home, Ronac Art Center.

With over 300 independent brands, owners and a handful of Manila’s respected DJs providing the steady back beats and proper tunes First Dibs hopes to attract 400-strong attendees and establish area as the newest hotspot in the independent lifestyle scene.

First Dibs was put together to celebrate independent brands owners/movers and shakers who have tried to make things happen and are given a venue to sell their merchandise and just kick back and chill during an afternoon of great company, food and music.

You know what they say, third time’s the charm.
