The "smoothest Scotch whiskey in the world", Chivas Regal, dahlings, brought to Cosmo Manille not just one but five! music capitals in an all-night party in the streets of hip Malate. Host and "travel guide" for the evening
Joey Mead led guests first to Vienna, Austria where the
Neo Classic Ensemble played light classics. Next stop was London, where
Polyester dished out British pop. In Jamaica,
Bowman Revival played the sensational rhythms borne in the late ‘60s, reggae. The
Brownbeat All Stars brought the house down with hot jazz from fabulous New Orleans, and a wild foam party capped off the Chivas gig at the hippest party place, Ibiza, Spain.

Remember, palanggas, "When you think of all that Jesus Christ has done for you, you’ll want to do your best for Him." Smile. See you.
