Blessed with sun-bleached sand, clear blue waters and rich flora and fauna, Panglao Island in Bohol is indeed one of the country’s best destinations for a relaxing vacation.
Making one’s stay in this unspoiled paradise more enjoyable is The Bellevue Resort, a top-notch five-star resort, owned and managed by The Bellevue Hotels and Resorts (BH&R) under the brilliant leadership of chairman Johnny Chan, marketing and communications corporate director Ryan Chan and The Bellevue Resort managing director Dustin Chan.
A number of prominent names from the diplomatic, business and social circles with the likes of Embassy of Argentina Chargé d’Affaires Monica Deregibus, Embassy of Venezuela Charge d’Affaires Yelitza Ventura Polanco and husband Axel Herrera Baez, Villa Medica Philippines country director Suzette Lopez and husband Manny were treated to a sumptuous and hearty dinner prepared at Céna, one of the resort’s leading restaurants that offers Western-inspired and Filipino fusion cuisine.
Also present at the dinner was Ryan Chan’s lovely wife, Tamila, who got to witness the efforts of the hardworking The Bellevue Resort resident manager Rommel Gonzales as he, along with his efficient team, took a step further in making the sunset-themed dinner a truly memorable one.
A special arrangement was made for all — an uplifting performance by the internationally-acclaimed Loboc Children’s Choir, under the baton of choir director Alma Fernando-Taldo, whose angelic voices captured the hearts of everyone that evening.
Congratulations to the whole The Bellevue Hotels and Resorts team for another unforgettable experience!
