He shamelessly taught you every corny dad joke in the book.

And since The Peninsula Manila is also all about being adventurous, it has partnered with VMV Hypoallergenics, Back Alley Barbershop, Globe Platinum, Art Toys PH, The Signet Store, Triumph Motorcycles, Auro Chocolate, and Philippine Wine Merchants in curating a one-afternoon-only, pop-up Pen Ultimate Father’s Day Dream Lounge in Salon de Ning.

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.
