Beer lovers rejoice!

We all know that San Miguel Beer is the best beer in the world, but have you ever wondered what freshly brewed San Miguel beer tastes like? Well, you need not go to the San Miguel brewery to have your sampling of what great beer! All you have to do is drive to Makati, park your car at Dusit Hotel Nikko, turn right after entering the elegant and roomy lobby, and enter the hotel’s pride: Fiesta San Miguel.

Beer connoisseurs rejoice! Fiesta San Miguel is the first and only place where freshly brewed San Miguel Beer is served. They have their own microbrewery, located right inside the restaurant-bar. You heard me right – their very own microbrewery. In fact, on display at the first floor of the restaurant are the brewing kettles and wort kettles, where the fine process of beer-making is done.

Mere words cannot describe the difference between the taste of beer from a bottle and fresh beer straight from the dispensing tank! The freshly brewed beer is infinitely more flavorful and delicious than regular beer; you will experience a host of new flavors that you never had before. Two San Miguel staples are available – Pale Pilsen and San Miguel Light.

Before your drinking session, have a delicious dinner first at the ground level of the place. Here, Fiesta San Miguel’s expert chefs will cook up a unique and satisfying dining experience for you. After you have satisfied your appetite, proceed to the bar at the second level, which can seat up to 200 people. While drinking your crisp, fine beer, mingle with the beautiful people, and be entertained by some of the country’s top bands and performers, who play at Fiesta San Miguel regularly.

Fiesta San Miguel — I’ll drink to that! See you there!

Tere’s Dream Wedding

Looking back, marriage was like something that only existed in Tere Bajar’s dreams. It was a far-fetched wish that soon found its way within arm’s reach. What started out as friendship blossomed into romance. Now, JB Garcia and Tere have reached the much-awaited turning point in their relationship that culminated in a sunset wedding ceremony in the presence of family and friends.

The groom’s mother, Veekee Abeleda, brother Jan and his wife, Tey, aunt Weena, and cousin Liz came all the way from Los Angeles to celebrate this happy occasion as well as Tere’s classmates from Switzerland.

And that happened recently, as JB held Tere’s hand, not for a walk in the park, but for the fulfillment of a promise to forever be united in love.

Hole No. 9 right behind the bride’s Mediterranean-styled home in Punta Fuego, Batangas was an obvious choice for the wedding site. The beautiful Bajar residence was transformed into a garden palace by the very artistic Gino Gonzales and his equally talented mom, Agnes.

Against the awesome backdrop of colorful sunset hues and brilliant blue shimmer of the South China sea and the majestic mountains, the couple exchanged their vows "to love, honor, and cherish one another all the days of their lives." Dr. Nomer Bernardino and Pastor Jonathan Sebastian presided over the ceremonies filled with inspirational and heart-tugging messages with a special admonition to JB that from this day forward, golf takes second place to his love, Tere.

The Mandaluyong Children’s Choir with their angelic voices marched with the bride along the carpath lined with oriental carpets. The wedding theme was Moroccan inspired.

The celebration of JB’s and Tere’s union continued with a reception at the Club Punta Fuego. Highlights of the evening were warm sentiments shared by the bride’s mother, Myrla Bajar, and the groom’s father, Roland Garcia. Before the dancing began, JB once more declared his love for Tere as a dazzling shower of fireworks lit up the sky.

As the older set retired to their casitas, merrymaking soon took over the dance floor as the guests gamely swayed to the Latin beat.

The wedding celebration did not end on that magical night in Punta Fuego. Three days later, the bride’s parents, BJ and Myrla Bajar, hosted a dinner-dance for the newlyweds at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Some 300 guests danced the night away to the music of the XOP band and the house beats of VJ Kevin Ruiz.

Truly it was an event both JB and Tere will remember and cherish for a long time.

Congratulations and have a happy life ahead!
