I’m heading to Manila tomorrow and will stay there for about a week. Whenever I’m in Manila, apart from business meetings, attending events and catching up with dear friends, I always see to it that I also allot some of my time watching my favorite musician-friends play.
One of the events I’m eager to catch is the week-long Independence Music Fest 2013 at Tiendesitas Activity Center, Ortigas, Pasig. Together with my friends, I plan to catch the Oktaves (featuring Ely Buendia), K.A. Antonio and Rivermaya (woohoo!) on June 4, 2013 and Freestyle, Paolo Santos (whom I’ve had the chance to work with not too long ago) and my super favorite Jay Durias of South Border on June 5, 2013. Speaking of Jay Durias, this music fest is the only reason why I had to MOVE my Manila trip haha! I was supposed to leave last week but opted to fly on the week of Jay’s gig That’s how big of a fan and supporter I am!
Will you also be at the Independence Music Fest 2013? Check out the other artists who will play that week:
Let me know if you’ll be around. Tweet me at @mindanaoan
Here’s one of my favorite Jay Durias songs. This one is included in his “Songs I Grew Up With” project album. I wrote an album review here:
I am involved in a new project and I’m really, really excited about this! I’ve been trying to keep this under wraps for a while now but now it can be told.
Seda Centrio Hotel, the newest luxury hotel in Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao, Philippines, is set to hold a very special event on June 15, 2013. It’s so special that Seda Hotel Centrio CDO folks are flying in celebrities, artists and even national media friends. I can’t divulge more details but suffice it to say that this will be the must-have invite of the year!
For the uninitiated, Seda Centrio CDO is the latest boutique-business hotel owned and managed by Ayala Land. This Cagayan de Oro downtown hotel features top-class recreational facilities like an outdoor pool, fitness center and a kiddie pool. This CDO hotel also offers high quality room facilities including laptop safe box, ironing facilities, television LCD/plasma screen, hair dryer and complimentary bottled water.
What also makes this Cagayan de Oro hotel really special is its location. It’s connected to Centrio Ayala Mall – the latest go-to place in CDO for everything shopping and dining.
If you want the Seda Centrio Hotel CDO experience, you may want to book your room here.
In the meantime, I’d like to sincerely thank the Seda Hotels management for the trust and confidence. Challenge accepted
