It feels just like 5 years ago when Embassy Club first opened in the metro. I also got invited at the VIP launch for the opening by Melissa, a clubbing friend who was once a happening girl when she was still based in Manila. Last night, 17th of June, a good friend of mine John Pagaduan has managed to score us some invites for the VIP opening of Republiq Club. A venue where the who's who's in the metro converge into one party crowd.
Republiq's location is very accessible and convenient -- inside the new and bustling Newport City that is just in front of NAIA terminal 3. It is housed inside the newly-built Resorts World mall of which facade and interiors reflects the type of people it caters to.
The dress code was strictly formal -- suit for the gents; long dress for the ladies. We did wear suits -- stylish ones. A friend even had custom-tailored one for him, two of them bought from a reputably-stylish retail outlet and as for me, I donned my Thiery Mugler velvet meets corduroy Burgundy-ish suit I got in Hong Kong a couple of years back (does that make it vintage? lol)
It was great seeing friendly & familiar faces from the community as well as meeting new and fantastic people from different industries.
Highlights include DJ Funk Avy's set, performance of Jet Pangan and Chico and Tim Yap's toast to a new REPUBLIQ.
It was definitely a night of excess. And mind you it was a Thursday night.
