A Mantra

CEBU, Philippines - Being a real man is a lifestyle.

And a lifestyle is not something you do. It is something you experience – at the Banilad Town Centre (BTC).

BTC is a place where men can do the things they love to do, away from the crowd, whether to live a healthier lifestyle, keep up to date with the latest fashion trends, lounge and entertain or spend quality time with family and friends. An ideal and well thought of mix of establishments gives this neighborhood mall a distinguishable character that sets it apart. 

There is no better time than now to start living healthy and it is a well-known fact that diets alone just do not cut it. Constant exercise is a must. Look and feel the part by jumpstarting that fitness routine with new workout gear at BTC’s athletic and sports stores. Bring in cloud nine moments with a shiny new ride from Bikecology or grab a new pair of high performance running shoes from the Nike Athletic Club. For those who want to train like boxing pros, head over to ALA Boxing Gym while those who want a more calming and holistic approach can head to Yogahub. BTC is also the first commercial complex to offer a parking zone for bikes. To keep you outfitted and equipped, man up in style at Urban Superior where fashion trends are cool and edgy in casual wear.

Every guy gears up for his digital way of living. And let’s face it – a man knows exactly what he wants when it comes to electronics. Give in to tech-and-gadget cravings and match the appetite with the latest phone and gadgets in JV Shop n Shop. Get that ear-to-ear grin after spoiling yourself to a much-coveted camera from Nikon or that home appliance that’s been on that bucket list for too long. 

From day spas and culinary journeys to nightspots, a whole world of flavors and adventures await. Take the weekend off and pamper yourself with a body massage and scrub treat at Grand Royal Spa or head to Salon de Rose for that regular haircut. For get-togethers and celebrations with family and friends, indulge in the best authentic Chinese cuisine at Choi City. If you like your food with a kick, discover the new Pueblo Mexicano and relish in their talk-of-the-town burritos and tortas. A quaint kiosk version of the word-of-mouth success Little Saigon Big Bangkok offers something exotic for the palate while Small Eats features classic, comfort street food. Spice Fusion satisfies those who crave Southeast Asian cuisine while Izakaya Goku serves up authentic Japanese food. In the city, nothing stops when the sun goes down.

When the sun sets, good drinks and good company mix at Formo, a restaurant lounge with a relaxed vibe that features Cebu’s longest happy hours and famed for its mojito, Goombah, a popular spot for the young ones, it being a bar and gameroom that actually has vintage machines or Song Hits, a KTV featuring rooms with Kinect and disco lights to add to the party.

Enjoy the BTC style of living with numerous shopping, dining, entertainment, health and wellness establishments along the lifestyle strip to cater to your every need and whim. Valet parking is now available for your added convenience from  12 noon - 9 p.m.    Banilad Town Centre is located  along Gov.
