Bonifacio Global City (BGC) is set to open a new chapter in providing immersive world-class experiences with the debut of Portals, a global artwork, right at the heart of the city center starting January 21, 2026.
Spearheaded by Portals Organization, the sculpture’s entry in the Philippines will mark the very first Portal in the Philippines and sixth in the world, following existing locations such as the United States, United Kingdom, and where it all started – Lithuania.
As Metro Manila’s premier business and lifestyle district, BGC in Taguig City has long been home to a dynamic cultural hub, known not only for its art, infrastructure, and cultural life, but also a vibrant forward-looking spirit it aims to embody – making it an ideal environment to host Asia’s first Portal, and continuing the circle of Portals’ very goal: to connect communities around the globe and celebrate diversity through thoughtful design and engineering.
Once opened, the BGC Portal will provide a 24/7 livestream, connecting with existing Portals in Vilnius (Lithuania), Lublin (Poland), Dublin (Ireland), Philadelphia (United States), and Ipswich (United Kingdom), as well as soon launching Portal in Piauí (Brazil) and further countries opening their Portals later this year.
“The opening of our first Portal in Asia is a powerful and exciting moment for us. Bringing the Portal to BGC in Manila – a city known for genuine warmth and a deep sense of human connection – expands our vision of a world connected not by borders, but by direct human encounter. We cannot wait to welcome Filipinos into this shared global experience,” shares Benediktas Gylys, founder of Portals Organization.
“We are delighted to introduce Portals to the Philippines and, for the first time, to Asia. At BGC, we draw inspiration from experiences that bring communities together and celebrate culture and diversity. With Portals and at BGC, we hope to create a new space for connection—one that not only engages our community, but also proudly shares the vibrancy and richness of Filipino culture with the world.” shares Enrique B. Manuel Jr., Chief Operating Officer, Bonifacio Global City.
The BGC Portal will be unveiled on 5th Avenue at Bonifacio High Street, Taguig City, on January 21.
Sundry Food Hall officially opened its newest branch in Bonifacio Global City with a grand opening celebration on Monday, December 15, inviting diners to experience a more elevated take on casual group dining—one where barkadas and families can share a table while ordering from multiple crowd-favorite brands in one destination.
Designed to feel like a cozy place to linger (not just a quick stop), Sundry Food Hall BGC puts the spotlight on what the brand calls its “mix and match” experience: a lineup of well-loved food and dessert concepts gathered under one roof—so groups don’t have to split up (or settle on just one cuisine) to satisfy everyone’s cravings. Guests can enjoy a wide range of offerings, from a boneless rice meal at 24 Chicken and a comforting bowl of beef noodle soup from Wann Mann, to a decadent chocolate cake from Big Al’s or a refreshing Panda Milk Tea from Coco—among many other options. The concept also carries over to delivery, where customers can order across different brands with a single delivery fee—a core convenience feature of Sundry Food Hall.
Expanding into the New Year
Sundry Food Hall began as a cloud kitchen during the pandemic and has since expanded its footprint across Metro Manila. Today, Sundry Food Hall has seven, including the newly opened BGC branch, operational locations—España, Taft, Pasig, Commonwealth, Makati, and Parañaque—as it continues to grow its presence and bring more branches into dine-in.
Located at GSC Corporate Tower, Triangle Drive, BGC, founders and husband-and-wife team Jai Reyes and Josephine Kamiyama shared their excitement for the latest branch to open.
“Sundry Food Hall was built around how people actually eat today—especially in groups. With our BGC branch, we wanted to create a place where friends and families can sit together, mix and match their favorite brands, and enjoy the experience without compromise,” explained Reyes.
“From starting as a cloud kitchen to opening more dine-in food halls, our goal has always been to make great food more accessible and enjoyable. The BGC branch reflects how we’re elevating that experience—bringing comfort, convenience, and variety together in one space,” added Kamiyama.
At the heart of Sundry’s model is an experience built for modern eating habits: dine-in, take-out, and delivery—in one place. Sundry Food Hall describes itself as “the only food hall in the Philippines optimized for dine-in, take-out and delivery.”
The “mix and match” feature supports that promise, enabling customers to bundle orders from multiple brands—while keeping delivery streamlined. For merchant partners, Sundry Food Hall presents a smarter, more accessible path to expansion. Its plug-and-play concept dramatically lowers operating costs by removing the need for heavy capital investments, with fully equipped units ready for immediate use. This allows restaurants to enter new locations quickly and efficiently with minimal upfront expense. Some merchants even report saving up to 90% in capital costs when opening a new branch within Sundry Food Hall.
A Little Something For Everyone
The BGC branch’s opening also highlighted a merchant lineup that includes CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice, 24 Chicken, Wann Mann, Bangkok Station, Potato Corner, Big Al’s Cookie Jar, Hearts & Bells, Merry Moo and Louie’s Buko.
To celebrate the opening, Sundry Food Hall BGC is running a First 100 Customers offer starting December 16: the first 100 customers who make any purchase will receive a Sundry Food Hall tumbler plus a free CoCo Milktea or Bangkok Station’s Mango Sticky Rice.
Moving forward, Sundry Food Hall also shared plans to expand its dine-in footprint further, with intended expansion in Alabang and Sta. Rosa, Laguna, responding to the growing demand for its popular partner brands.
“Sundry Food Hall focuses on creating spaces where people can come together over their favorite food. As we expand, we’re excited to bring that same Sundry experience to more neighborhoods, both in and beyond Metro Manila” shared Kamiyama.
Bonifacio Global City (BGC) and the City Government of Taguig is set to welcome 2026 with another one-of-a-kind festive event that will gather some of the country’s biggest local acts in one venue, NYE at the 5th.
After an exciting year that’s overflowing with milestones and moments that continuously shape the district’s next chapter, BGC is preparing for an all-out celebration to thank everyone who has become a part of its story this year.
This year’s program reflects the momentum that BGC is in right now, and aims to express a feeling of local pride and optimism, rooted in various breakthroughs that were achieved through synergy.
As one of the most international districts in the country, BGC and the City Government of Taguig’s choice to spotlight OPM is deliberate–in a city shaped by global ideas, nothing hits harder than coming home to the sound of our own.
At the core of the celebration is a powerhouse OPM lineup engineered to electrify the city. DJ Mars Miranda, Jay-R, Dionela, G22, Parokya Ni Edgar, TJ Monterde, KZ Tandingan, and SB19 lead the night with a succession of performances that reflect the full spectrum of Filipino sound—from nostalgic and comforting to modern and genre-breaking, but all proudly local.
Joining this powerful lineup is apl.de.ap, global Filipino icon and member of The Black Eyed Peas, whose presence bridges the local and international.
As 5th Avenue transforms into a living corridor of music and lights, the night extends into a shared visual journey. With immersive light choreography and LED satellite screens across the district, the entire community is part of the moment.
Capping off the night — and the year — BGC will light up the sky with its dual-zone fireworks display. The tradition has become a familiar part of the city’s New Year’s Eve, but it still carries that collective pause — a moment where everyone looks up, takes it in, and steps into the new year together.
Since its maiden year, NYE at the 5th has become one of Metro Manila’s most anticipated events, and for good reasons. It’s one that’s known for effectively merging artistry, technology, and a shared energy that sets the tone for the year ahead. This year’s celebration takes a moment to honor the now—the victories and breakthroughs of 2025—whilst opening the door to the next chapter, not only of BGC but of the people who live, work, and play in it.
This year’s celebration is made possible with the support of partners who share BGC’s vision to create connection and energy across the district. Globe, MG Motor, Pru Life UK, Vivo, and PepsiCo join BGC in bringing NYE at the 5th to life, shaping a celebration that feels true to the district and the people who call it home.
