Scene + Herd
MANILA, Philippines - Scene: Kat Alano on the mic, with Marc Nelson, Sanya Smith, Victor Consunji and wife Maggie Wilson-Consunji, Vicky Herrera, Fabio Ide, and Rovilson Fernandez. You have your usual socialites, mainstream actors, Brapanese models, young politicians — the city’s finest holding court at Manila’s newest hotspot, located right in the heart of Makati at New World Hotel.
Sights: The Ibiza Robotman milling about is impossible to miss. The club boasts three LED walls, a dance ledge, an ultra-spacious dance floor, and state-of-the-art lighting technology. Palladium also houses three VIP sections for its A-list guests. The Vogue Lounge a floor above provides a slightly more docile atmosphere with steady grooves and cozy interiors for partyphiles who have had their fill for the night.
Sounds: DJ Oliver Schmitz flew in for the first time ever, bringing the house down with his beats from no less than the undisputed party capital of the world: Ibiza.
Bass down low: DJ Oliver Schmitz, fresh from Spain, feeling right at home in Manila Heard from the herd:
*”Is that Dingdong Dantes with a beard? Where’s Marian Rivera?”
*”Tessa Prieto-Valdes looks pretty low-key tonight... Though that depends on your definition of ‘low-key.’”
