Queen to lead RWM's Grand Parade
RWM adds a generous helping of fun to Grand Fiesta Manila 2010.
When Pinoys hear the word pista, two things pop up in their minds: food and parades. While it is a well-known fact that Filipinos love to eat, what with the five or six meals they are said to consume per day, on more special occasions like the Fiesta, they add a generous helping of fun to the celebration with their vibrant parades.
Filipinos spend weeks and even months preparing for a parade. They start scouting around for the Adonises and Aphrodites to be at the forefront of the procession. They ready the dresses and costumes, bejeweled and embroidered. They decorate the floats with everything from glitters, crepe paper, dried leaves, flowers and tree woods just to name a few. The dancers, muses and marching bands rehearse their captivating routines.

SIX6
Silverlens Gallery is turning SIX!
We are celebrating our anniversary with a Photography show by SIX artists - Frankie Callaghan, Wawi Navarroza, Neal Oshima, Rachel Rillo, Steve Tirona and Denise Weldon. SIX6 is curated by Silverlens' Director, Isa Lorenzo.
Susan Sontag's treatise 'On Photography' was the seminal text on photography theory. Published in 1973, it considered the relation of photography to art, to conscience and to knowledge. But it considered a time before digital images, computers, and Photoshop. The medium then was film. The last twenty years have seen further democratization of photography through post-production and digital tools. Today, photography is considered in relation to imagination and fantasy.

Discover the beauty and grandeur of KAOS
NEWPORT CITY, Pasay - In a medieval kingdom, a lonely prince peers into a magical mirror and falls in love with a beautiful maiden from the future. As the past and the future converge, the two discover a love that transcends time, prevailing over a scheming adviser and numerous obstacles.
This at a glimpse is the story of KAOS, a visual and musical spectacle unlike anything the country has ever seen.
A convergence of world class talent
Set to be Resorts World Manila's first exclusive production, KAOS was conceptualized with international audiences in mind. The story, a timeless tale of love, is an engaging experience for the whole family.

Putting the FUN back in fun run: The Grand Fiesta Run 2010
So what’s fun and enjoyable about fun runs?
Feeling the adrenaline and endorphins coursing through your veins and running with your barkada, family and other fitness enthusiasts are two things that come to mind.
Resorts World Manila’s Grand Fiesta Run 2010 promises to put the fun back in fun run. One of the highlights of the event is a 1K rat race that encourages runners to come in their weirdest and wildest costumes; from jazzed up office gear (minus the heels and leather shoes, of course!) to fiesta-inspired outfits. I suggest you go all out and let your creativity loose to have more chances of winning exciting prizes! The race has awards for the Best Dressed, Most Unique, Biggest Group/Company, and Wildest Costume.
And to top it all, rat race participants will also be receiving 1,000 free gaming credits in Resorts World Manila!
For more intense runners, don’t worry as Grand Fiesta Run 2010 also features 3K, 5K, and 10K race categories in a new route in Newport City. Runners can select their finish chute and win different prizes such as shop, movie, spa, hotel, and cruise gift certificates! Participants can also join the raffle draw and sprint their way to a 3-day/2-night trip for four to Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore, with free tickets to Universal Studios. The lucky jetsetters will be flying to their destination aboard Resorts World Manila’s private jet.
The registration started last October 27; be sure to catch it before November 22 at the following outlets: Chris Sports in MOA, Glorietta, and SM Mega Mall; R.O.X Bonifacio High Street, and in Resorts World Manila. The registration fee is PhP650 for all race categories. The gun start is at: 6:00am for 10K, 6:05am for 5K, 6:10am for 3K, and 7:15am for 1K. Bring your families and friends on November 28 for one truly unforgettable fun run!
Grand Fiesta Manila 2010: The Resorts World Grand Launch
NEWPORT CITY, PASAY – The long wait is over! Witness the biggest celebration of Pinoy heritage at Resorts World Manila’s grand launch, the Grand Fiesta Manila 2010. This November, the most exciting destination in Asia will hold an extravagant unveiling that will showcase the wonders of the Philippine culture and what the first integrated tourism destination in the country has to offer.
In its quest to raise the country’s profile in world-class standards, RWM’s grand launch will be a fiesta of flavors, arts, culture, and talent at its grandiose best. There’s no denying that Filipinos know how to party, and RWM is ready to show the world how Pinoys do it.
Saráp – delicious, good
Eating is an integral part of the Filipino culture, and RWM will prove itself as the place where the local cuisine will be at its most sumptuous. Gourmets will celebrate as RWM introduces its various dining destinations on its grand launch. RWM will whip up a spread of the most scrumptious Filipino viands and the most popular international cuisine prepared by the most experienced chefs local and abroad.
Sine – movie theater
RWM takes you on a ride on the most memorable moments on the Filipino silver screen. Watch the creations of famed Filipino filmmakers in the newest premium cinemas at The Newport Mall. It’s a whole new viewing experience at the Newport Cinemas, designed with stadium seating and superb views from any point in the movie house.

Likhá – create
It’s Pinoy talent on show when RWM sends down the runway the designs of favorite Filipino designers. After holding successive events such as La Flora de Mayo where more than 30 sagalas modeled ternos; Broadway on the Runway which saw the best of Broadway as interpreted by Filipino designers, and more; RWM is ready to take Filipino creativity to greater heights at its grand launch!
Tanghál at Kantá – place where the show is exhibited and to sing
There’s no denying that talent for the stage runs strong in Pinoy blood and RWM will showcase this on a magnificent scale at its Newport Performing Arts Theater. This 1,500-seat theater is the metro’s biggest stage for musicals, events, performances, and more. Watch out what will take centerstage on RWM’s big day which can only be magical and memorable.
One of its magnificent productions is KAOS – a timeless tale of love and magic that will surely take one’s breath away.
Sayá – happy, cheerful, memory
