The Peninsula Manila features Chef Rey Guerrero of  Sabor Pacifico Restaurante in Spices Restaurant on October 4, and 5, 6pm. Like me, you can also have yourself a taste of true Colombian Pacific cooking, and appreciate what the cuisine has to offer.

The Peninsula Manila has been a longtime supporter of the arts.

He shamelessly taught you every corny dad joke in the book, and, as much you hate giving in to his embarrassing comic stunts, you truly couldn’t love him more for it. Because, at the end of the day, you know absolutely nothing can make you smile quite like your dad’s lighthearted antics.
