Unbox the holidays with a bigger and brighter Christmas at BGC

As the holiday season draws near, Bonifacio Global City (BGC) is once again ready to captivate the hearts of its community with a grand celebration to remember.

With the holidays feeling bigger and brighter now more than ever, BGC has unveiled its giant Christmas tree to deliver smiles and bring the most wonderful time of the year to everyone! This delightful reveal comes as part of BGC’s tradition every Christmas as they aim to leave joy and festive cheer to their community.

The towering tree, adorned with plenty of glittering lights and ornaments, was unboxed along 7th Avenue of BGC and represented the city’s spirit for the holiday season as its lights and ornaments filled the square with a warm and inviting glow.

The unveiling of this year’s Christmas tree at BGC was accompanied by the holiday sounds brought by award-winning vocal group Pinopela, who took the stage enchanting the audience with their melodies to the most-beloved Christmas song hits to get everyone in the mood to unbox the holidays.

Over the next few weeks, all who step foot in BGC will get to experience the magic of unboxing the holidays with more exciting activities underway from a weekly fireworks display with Sparks in the Sky, unforgettable moments with a Santa Meet and Greet; and daily Simbang Gabi services from December 15-24.

Just as well, the rest of BGC will also be adorned with the holiday cheer! Get into the Christmas spirit every time you set foot in the area with a total of seven larger-than-life holiday installations all over BGC – from the roads of Bonifacio High Street to the buildings lining up Bonifacio High Street South and Bonifacio South Street.

Lastly, be sure to take a stop at BGC’s numerous public parks – adorned with giant bows, they will serve as unforgettable sights as they help transform the entire area as a massive gift just waiting to be unwrapped this holiday season!

Unboxing more holiday cheer in BGC with a Grand Fireworks display alongside its newest integrated 3D-LED billboards

A massive Christmas tree isn’t the only thing BGC revealed. Capture brilliant fireworks photos with a picture-perfect background for the holidays with their second larger-than-life integrated 3D digital billboard, the first not only in the Philippines but in Southeast Asia.

This reveal serves as a true testament to BGC’s commitment to showcasing cutting-edge creativity and technology, delivering through visual spectacles flashed on a massive 400 square meter screen – overall adding an extra layer of wonder for everyone who visits BGC.

This new billboard is now available for viewing and will surely get everyone into the holiday spirit at 5th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City.

“Christmas is indeed the happiest and most wonderful time of the year, and we at BGC are making sure that our community is not missing out on the biggest celebration yet. From unveiling our Christmas tree with the brightest of lights, Sparks in the Sky that brings a vibrant display of fireworks to life, down to the launch of Southeast Asia’s first-ever integrated 3D billboard in partnership with United Neon, we hope that all are able to partake in the holiday season with us, as we remain committed to providing a Christmas that families won’t forget,” says Marc Buencamino, Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC)’s Director for Leasing, Operations, and Marketing.

Puccini’s La Boheme Returns to The Philippine Stage

The Cultural Center of the Philippines, in partnership with Viva Voce Voice Lab and the Embassy of Italy in the Philippines, present a re-staging of Giacomo Puccini’s well-loved opera La Boheme on November 11 and 12, 7:30pm at the Tanghalang Ignacio B. Gimenez (CCP Blackbox Theater).

Based on French writer Henri Murger’s novel Scenes de la vie de Bohème, a collection of vignettes portraying the lives of young Bohemians living in the Latin Quarter of Paris in the 1840s, La Boheme revolves around the unconventional lives of four young friends – a poet, a painter, a musician, and a philosopher – and how their lives change one freezing winter’s eve after a girl named Mimi comes knocking on their door.

The four-act opera by Puccini first premiered at the Teatro Regio in Turin, Italy, in 1896. The tragic love story is one of the most frequently staged operas and has been an inspiration to various cinematic and artistic interpretations such as Jonathan Larson’s Broadway rock-musical Rent.

La Boheme has been hailed by critics, marking “Puccini’s emergence as a fully mature and original composer.” The opera is known for some of the most memorable arias and musical scenes in opera, such as “Che gelida manina,” which is one of the best-known tenor arias, and “Quando m’en vo,” also known as “Musetta’s Waltz” and performed in the second act.

For the re-staging this November at CCP, Viva Voce Voice Lab classically-trained singers perform their minimalist interpretation of La Boheme, under the direction of Nelsito Gomez, musical direction by soprano Camille Lopez-Molina, and with Dr. Oliver Salonga on piano.

The latest production features the full opera, without the chorus numbers and with piano as the sole musical accompaniment. It will be staged in an intimate setting without the grandiose “trappings” of the opera, highlighting what really matters – the drama, the music, the singing.

“Our goal was to move away from the potentially inaccessible 1840s setting and find a more relatable period in which to set this story. Upon researching, we decided on 1960s Paris, the Post-war France when the country was booming with a newfound sense of optimism and energy. It was the time of New Wave cinema, existentialism, Yé-Yé music, and streets filled with youth – a very apt backdrop for the Bohemians of this opera,” said Gomez.

Bringing to life the characters are some of the familiar names in opera and musical theater in the Philippines: Nomher Nival stars as Rodolfo, Anna Migallos as Mimi, Carlo Falcis as Marcello, Iona Ventocilla-Borja as Musetta, Roby Malubay as Colline, Fritz Rivera as Schaunard, and Raymond Yadao as Alcindoro.

Through this simple production, the CCP hopes to further ignite an appreciation for opera in the country and attract not only the usual opera-goers but also those whose hearts and spirits may resonate with the ideals of Puccini’s young and brave bohemians, while nurturing the Filipino opera artists.

Alabang Town Center’s Paint The Town Red Sale: A Shopping Extravaganza with a Disco Twist

Alabang Town Center is set to ignite the shopping scene with its much-anticipated “Paint The Town Red Sale.” From November 13 to 19, 2023, this mall-wide event promises shoppers an exhilarating experience, boasting discounts of up to 70% from participating merchants. With the holiday season just around the corner, this is also the perfect place and time to complete your Christmas gift list.

However, what truly sets this event apart is the super fun “Discount Disco,” a one-of-a-kind activation that combines Y2K nostalgia with the electric energy of disco, turning your shopping trip into an unforgettable and Instagram-worthy adventure.

The “Discount Disco” is open to players aged 13 years old and above. Teams of two to four players are welcome to participate in the game, encouraging friends and family to come together for a day of fun and excitement. To secure your entry into the game, present single or accumulated receipts from any Alabang Town Center store, dated November 13 to 19, 2023 (excluding bills payment and telecom lane).

For teams of two players, a minimum of P3,000 worth of single or accumulated receipts is required. For teams of three to four players, a minimum of PHP 5,000 worth of single or accumulated receipts is required.

The “Discount Disco” promises a unique and exciting adventure for participants. They will receive a briefing on safety guidelines and will be provided with safety gear to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience. Each team starts with five lives and has 45 seconds to navigate the disco floor. The disco floor is divided into three colors: Green, Blue, and Red. Green blocks are safe zones, Blue blocks represent points to be collected, and Red blocks are the danger zone. Players must accumulate points during the game, but there’s a catch—stepping on a red block results in losing one life, and one point is deducted from the total score. The game ends when a team consumes all five lives. The goal is simple: Achieve the highest score within the time limit, making every move count.

Exciting prizes await participants, including gift certificates from select Alabang Town Center shops and fabulous merchandise. But the excitement doesn’t stop there! Every participant will also be entitled to a raffle entry for a chance to win coveted accommodations at Lagen Island Resort in El Nido or roundtrip tickets to picturesque destinations like Siargao, Coron, San Vicente, Camiguin, or Naga.
