Bigfishs Domini Primeros mission is to take the local clubbing culture to next level by promoting the new dance music of today. A series of two successful parties were done recently.
The packed "Drop @ Embassy" party featured Joel Lai, Hong Kongs finest DJ and owner of the famous Hong Kong club in Drop. Then, together with Addict Mobile and Nokia, Bigfish brought back to Manila the worlds leading clubbing pioneers, Ministry of Sound.
Over 3,000 people celebrated the party by dancing the night away to the funky house tunes of DJs Johnboy Lee and Axwell of Ministry of Sound. Another first in the Manila party scene was a live rock rendition of the Philippine national anthem performed by Scarlet of Brownbeat on vocals and Noni Aurillo on lead guitar.

Giorgio Armanis newest scent, Armani Black Code, was launched at Mezze Restaurant and Bar. Claudine Trillo and comic Tim Tayag acted as hosts. The highlight of the night was the presentation of the new evening fragrance by Rocky Salumbides, Adrian Go and Russel Clifton, all garbed in stylized versions of the tuxedo (which is the inspiration for the fragrance) by Joey Samson.
The shows theme, "Modern Chic Sensuality", was conceptualized by the production team of JP Yeaps, which is directly in line with Black Codes message of potent masculinity packaged in a luxurious and refined waytrue masculinity need not be rugged. After the show, guests enjoyed Johnny Walker Black. Philip Cu Unjieng and Abigail Arenas de Leon won Vanity Fair at the Oscars books for being chosen man and woman of the night.

The Salcedo Community Market celebrated its first anniversary with live entertainment, raffles, prizes, discounts and promos on all items sold. The very popular food and plant market held every Saturday in Makati saw a marching band and ati-atihan dancers around the Jaime Velasquez Park and "Los Trobadores", a rondalla band serenaded the shoppers with Filipino kundimans as did the Angklung Ensemble and Choir from the Makati High School.
Bel-Airs barangay captain Nene Lichauco noted that the Salcedo Community Market had grown from a modest 27 tables to more than a hundred.
Lichauco was on hand the entire day to give out raffle prizes and entertain the markets guests of honor, Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay and wife Elenita.
Lisa Ongpin Periquet and Trickie Colayco Lopa thought of a weekend food and plant market to service barangay residents. Periquet said, "It brings together the people who live and work here while providing a useful service. The market goods are unique and the result of efforts of home-based entrepreneurs."
Among the regular shoppers enjoying the first anniversary of the market were Makati Rep. Teddy Boy Locsin and wife Louie, Makati councilor King Yabut, Barangay Dasmariñas captain Carrie Legaspi, Dr. Jaime Laya, Lizzie Zobel with daughters Mercedes and Eugenia, Suyen Sia, Susan Calo Medina, Chuchu Madrigal Eduque, Marylou Prieto, former Tourism Secretary Tony Gonzales, Makati Commercial Estate Association president Adolfo Duarte, Jimmy Matias, and Toto and Bessie Cruz.

Buy local and imported fruits, regional delicacies such as carabaos milk majablanca and pastilles, dayap-flavored yemas and old-fashioned plate-sized ensaimadas, adobong itik and buko pandan. The plant section offers giant heliconias, bromeliads, champaca, ylang-ylang, rosal, jasmine, bougainvilleas and orchids.
The Ayala Museum was packed as guests gathered to witness the unveiling of the latest product from Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) and MasterCard International, a credit card that promises to give greater security and peace of mind. The new BPI Express Credit Gold MasterCard with the PaySafe System has a microchip prominently embedded in its card face to ensure more secured transactions because of its strong encryption capability.

Guests enjoyed a unique food experience as M Cafés chef Sau del Rosario prepared food from 12 countries namely France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, United Kingdom, Brazil, South Africa, Japan, Turkey, Singapore and the Philippines.
The program was hosted by Daphne Oseña-Paez with distinguished chef Fernando Arracama. The two took the audience on a descriptive tour of the various dishes from the simple English fish and chips to the more exotic looking Paella De Montana Rojo of Spain, right up to the huge five-gallon vessel bearing our local halo-halo!
