Oct 1, 2017Sun and Fun in Boracay
AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS of snorkeling in what felt like the most extreme midday heat of summer, salvation finally materialized in the form of a man paddling toward our catamaran. His canoe was full of coconuts, most of their husks chopped off to reveal the smooth inner shells that house the fruit’s sweet, tasty, must-have-now juice. Coconut man was ready for us. A few of his products already had straws stuck in them, and when he was close enough to hand the first coconut to our guide, nearly everyone on the boat burst into a fit of cheering and hollering. Yes, we had an entire cooler of ice-cold water, soda and even beer, but at this moment, fresh coconut juice felt like the necessary beverage to power us up for the rest of what the paradise island of Boracay had to offer.

Feb 4, 2016MICE Manila
In a country known for its scuba diving, beach resorts and mountainous adventures, Manila sits at the economic, social and cultural heart of the Philippines. Colorful jitneys, classic art museums, galleries and a preserved old town mix with upscale fine dining and glitzy mega malls, bringing together divergent aspects of this bustling metropolis. Its UNESCO World Heritage sites contrast with its booming nightclubs, all comprising equal parts of the fabric. As much as it touts its heritage and culture, Manila also excels as a business center attracting MICE groups to its borders.
