We got to make our own gin and tonic courtesy of The Botanist gin, where they laid out a table where we could pick from a variety of add-ons, such as citrus fruits like limes, lemon and oranges, fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme, or add depth with juniper berries. 

When night fell, we were ushered to the beachfront where the Metro Summer Soul fully unfolded. 

Decked out in our best all-white outfits, we sat down for a benefit dinner courtesy of Metro and Crimson Resort & Spa Mactan. Dozens of buffet tables lined up the perimeter of the venue, serving the finest dishes that the resort has to offer. 

Hosted by Tim Yap and Joey Mead King, Summer Soul gathered Cebu’s A-listers and leading purveyors of style topped with equal parts fun, fervor and flair. Flying in for the occasion were Metro Channel hosts Marc Nelson, Maggie Wilson-Consunji, Anton Barreto, Tricia Centenera, and Metro Society Editor-in-Chief Raul Manzano.

Metro Channel brings together well-curated content in Food & Travel, Home & Living, and Fashion & Style on cable television. With the launch of the all-new Metro Channel comes new and exciting shows hosted by lifestyle icons such as Pia Wurtzbach and its hosts. 

Summer Soul also highlighted Crimson Resort & Spa Mactan’s “Adopt a Clam” campaign where guests were given the opportunity to adopt a giant clam which they may name after them. Established in 2013, this marine reserve provides a safe and healthy environment for various species to thrive in. 

Tridacna, or giant clam, were introduced to the marine reserve to grow and develop. The giant clams are within Crimson’s marine reserve and are closely evaluated each month by the resort’s resident marine biologist to ensure that they are growing at an optimal rate for eventual reproduction.

Out of the 98 juvenile giant clams up for adoption, 50 of them were adopted by the attendees, which means that half of the juvenile clams are to be provided care for a year or until they mature. 

If you would also like to adopt a clam, you may visit Crimson Resot & Spa Mactan’s website.
