On Mondays at several of the Dryden Group establishments, you may now “pour-your-own” local spirits (gin, rum, vodka, tequila). They’ll provide the bottle, ice and glasses—-YOU do the rest!

If you’re a PIatNight member (with card), here are some nice “October Madness” room prices from Dreamland Resort. Nice deals here for some quality Subic digs. Here is our October 2010 Girl-of-the-Month: The lovely Emelie, a 19 year cutie from Zambales. Emelie currently works on Asians247, and as you can see from her photos, she enjoys her work showing off for the web cam! More than 300 skydivers from all over the world will be joining the first ever mass skydiving event in the country this November to introduce the Subic Bay Freeport as a skydiving destination in the Philippines. Dubbed as the 1st Philippine Parachuting Phun Phestival, the world-class skydiving event will run from November 8 to 20 and will involve “chuters” from the United States, Canada, Europe, and the Philippines, among others. The event is being organized by Sheldon Rice, a Canadian national who serves as operations manager of Adrenoline Island Adventures, located at the Treasure Island Resort Resort on Baloy Beach, in partnership with Exotic Sky Adventures from Europe. “We will bring in about 300 to 400 skydivers from all over the world to the Subic Bay International Airport (SBIA) to skydive for about eight or twelve days to promote skydiving as another tourist attraction in the country,” Rice said. Aside from skydiving, the organizers are also lining up tours to some tourist attractions in the free port, including Zoobic Safari and Treetop Adventure Park. Festival participants are also expected to engage in other adventure sports here like horseback riding, scuba diving, kite boarding, jet skiing, wake boarding, para-sailing and more. Ayala, SM in Subic-Olongapo Race IT looks like the Zobels and the Sys are engaged in a quiet race to build their respective malls in the Subic-Olongapo corridor. The Zobels’ Ayala Land was first to announce in October 2009, having secured a 50-year lease on a 7.5-hectare property, that it would build a mall-call center-hotel complex within the former US military facility. Three months later, the Sys disclosed that they had convinced the Olongapo City Council to lease, also for 50 years, the City Hall-owned, but apparently money-losing, Olongapo City Mall. Unlike the Ayala mall, the planned SM mall will be outside of Subic, a few blocks across the river from the naval base-turned-free port. According to the grapevine, unlike the Ayalas who will build from the ground up, the Sys will simply retrofit and refurbish the Olongapo mall in time for Christmas next year. The four-level mall will have the anchor SM Department Store, the SM Supermarket and three cinemas as well as parking for 366 cars. The Ayala mall, on the other hand, will not be ready until the first or second quarter of 2012. It is not clear yet what the anchor store would be. The Ayala mall will be built along the main Rizal Highway, past the Jollibee branch. Among the casualties of the redevelopment: the first Korean restaurant in the base, the generically-named Subic Korean Restaurant, which is being asked to leave by October. |
