Balesin Coastal Clean-up

We’re inviting everyone to join our annual effort to preserve our coastal areas. Over the years, this movement has grown into a family that loves the ocean and wants to protect it.

Last long weekend was a blast with the specials we prepared for our members and guests. Here’s a recap for those of you who missed the merriment on the island!

Inauguration of the Balesin Private Villa

The 8-Bedroom Balesin Private Villa was formally inaugurated last Saturday, August 19. All members and guests on the island were cordially invited by our Chairman, Roberto V. Ongpin, to the cocktail party which he hosted. Mr. Ongpin gave a speech and also announced the terms of sale of the Private Villa. The event was attended by about 200 members and guests.

Weekend Entertainment Specials

On the entertainment front, members and guests unleashed their inner superstar as they sang their hearts out in our Balesin Karaoke Idol contests, which were held for two nights at the Clubhouse Performance Theater. Those who stood out were hailed as the Balesin Karaoke Idols and won free villa nights in Balesin. Evidently, everyone enjoyed – our very lively audience was cheering for the very talented contestants.

Balesin was also wowed by premier a capella group The Tux. It was a significant night both for Balesin and The Tux since this was the group’s reunion and comeback concert after their four-year hiatus. The audience was treated to a night of acapella numbers from the ‘80s up to today’s hits.

The long weekend was of course topped off by the highlight of the weekend – the Balesin Membership Raffle! We raffled off a total of two Gold shares worth P2.2M and one Diamond share worth Php4M over the weekend. Lucky winners of the Gold shares were Alexandra Fanio Reyes and Micah Marie P. Abreu, guests of members Carolyn Quimson and Nanette Abreu, respectively. Nanette Abreu also won her Diamond membership in one of our draws last year. What were the odds of that! Lastly, the Diamond share was won by Roxanne Romero Asuncion, guest of member Jocelyn Laurel. It was definitely a lucky night for these three lovely ladies.

Manuel – Deza Wedding

We also had an intimate wedding ceremony and reception at the Balesin Royal Villa on Sunday, Aug. 20. Mr. and Mrs. Manuel were formally introduced for the first time, followed by a night of endless fun and laughter with their family and close friends. What better way to celebrate the start of a couple's journey together than to say "I do" in the beautiful Balesin Royal Villa?

That’s just a taste of how we celebrate long weekends here in Balesin. There are two more long weekends coming up. What are you waiting for? Don’t miss another opportunity to create wonderful memories on our island paradise with your family and friends. Book your Balesin trip now. Call our Reservations team at tel no. 337-2055.
