Weekend hangs: Staying in Manila? Here's what to do over the Eid'l Fitr long weekend
There's no shortage of reasons why you can't enjoy this long weekend.
Even if you don’t have any out-of-town trips planned, you can still make the best use of this Eid'l Fitr holiday a memorable one with your family, friends, and even your furbabies.
From pet fairs to pop-up beauty stores and gigs, here are a few things to do and visit if you have nothing planned this weekend.
Ang Huling El Bimbo
Watch Joy, Hector, Anthony, and Emman navigate through life in Ang Huling El Bimbo The Musical, which kicks off on Friday, April 21 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Pasay City.
The play is directed by Dexter Santos and written by Dingdong Novenario. It incorporates the music of OPM icon Eraserheads.
According to Full House Theater Company, they have added new dates this May as tickets for the April shows are running out.
If you don't have tickets yet, you can still get yours via Ticket World, SM Tickets or the numbers below:
Dewars D15 Events
Make the most out of this long weekend by joining Dewars' D15 nights, a series of parties all over Metro Manila where you can not only enjoy music and booze, but also win special prizes.
The blended scotch whiskey brand has invited Parokya ni Edgar, South Border, Mayonaise, Grace Note, Kamikaze, and DJ Tom Taus in their previous events, with more to be announced soon.
Don't miss the upcoming events on Friday, April 21, at Kao Nightclub and April 28 at theDynasty Real Theater and Lounge.
BGC Pet Huddle
Your pets deserve to join the summer fun, too. This weekend, take your furbabies to BGC's Pet Huddle happening along Fifth Avenue at Bonifacio High Street.
Let your pets participate in their exciting activities such as the Pet Parade, Pet Blessing, and Pawject Runway. Spoil your babies, too, as you shop till you drop from 50 merchants selling everything that your pet needs—clothing, treats, grooming essentials and more.
The event is free of charge and is happening from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Avon Simply Pretty Pop-Up
While shopping for makeup online is very much hassle-free, it's still enjoyable for some to test and swatch the products in a physical store.
Now, with the launch of Avon's all-new fun, affordable makeup line, Simply Pretty, beauty geeks can see the products IRL at a special pop-up store at Panco Café, The Podium from April 20 to 22.
Its ambassador Kyline Alcantara will also be there to join the swatch and shopping party.
