Madonna’s favorite DJ at Buddha-Bar’s 3rd anniversary

MANILA, Philippines - Music, dance, bartending exhibitions and loads of prizes were the order of the day when Buddha-Bar Manila marked its third anniversary recently. Madonna’s favorite DJ Kirill Doomski flew in from Buddha-Bar Russia (where he is based)to play a special anniversary mix. Iza Calzado, meanwhile, hosted the event.

Primarily known for house music, DJ Kirill is from Buddha-Bar Kiev, Ukraine and Buddha Bar St. Petersburg, Russia. Last year, no less than Queen of Pop Madonna picked DJ Kirill to warm up her MDNA Tour in Ukraine.

Adding oomph to the party were a Chicago-inspired number courtesy of the energetic group called Dance Royalties and an exciting bartending performance by the in-house bartenders.

Another highlight of the party was the much-anticipated reveal of who was to drive home a brand-new Maserati Ghibli that night.

Launched last year, Buddha-Bar Manila’s Win a Maserati Promo was open to all diners and guests. For a single receipt of P3,000 on a la carte or P25,000 on banquet events, everyone got the chance to own the sleek and sporty luxury vehicle.

The lucky Maserati winner turned out to be Japanese-born Hishiki Tomoyuki, who has been residing in the Philippines for more than 10 years with his Filipina wife Edeelyn Hishiki.

Other prizes given away were a trip-for-two to Palawan with free airfare and accommodations, top quality liquor, hotel accommodations and high-end beauty products.

Buddha-Bar Manila is now raffling off a Range Rover Evoque through the Dine for a Rover promo, which runs until July 31.

Buddha-Bar Manila is located at Picar Place, Kalayaan Ave., Makati City. It can also be found in Paris, London, Kiev, Moscow, Dubai, St. Petersburg, among others.
