Rising high in Alabang

It was the start of a distinctly memorable hotel experience as the geniuses behind The Bellevue Hotel — visionary chairman Johnny Chan together with dapper brothers GM Patrick Chan and marketing and communications director Ryan Chan — recently celebrated another milestone, the soft opening of its newest gem in the South, The Bellevue Tower. Taking guests to greater heights, they treated Manila’s veritable who’s who in society to an elegant evening replete with a delectable feast of canapés and old-world wines carefully prepared by the hotel’s brilliant executive chef Nick Anderson. Well-heeled guests were also invited to a tour of the hotel’s world-class features and facilities. From the grand lobby to the huge staircase and the grand ballroom, the new Asian-inspired Bellevue Tower was indeed a picture of class and elegance. Congratulations to The Bellevue and Johnny Chan for continuously beautifying the Alabang scene with another luxurious innovation!

Lovely as ever

Where else can one savor the Boracay sunset in all its glory but at the friendliest and most luxurious resort in the island paradise — Sea Wind. Thanks to the endearing efforts of Sea Wind president Boy Jarantilla and wife Ruth, the possibilities are endless at the most peaceful place in Boracay. This is exactly what Ruby Chua, together with her family, recently discovered when they experienced genuine provincial warmth while enjoying brunch by the beach and an afternoon luau consisting of a glorious spread of the largest and most succulent crabs, luscious grilled prawns and fresh fruits in season at Sea Wind. See you there!

Johnny says, ‘Check this out’
