Hamilo Coast consists of 13 coves which is owned by SM Investment Corp

Pico De Loro is only one of the coves and the first that they have developed

A 2 1/2 hour drive from Manila

Or you can arrive by helicopter 🙂

pico-de-loro-02.JPG

Run by Senior Vice President, Rona Torres- Tan,  Marketing Consultant, Rea Gomez-Harrow and AVP of Customer Service, Marga Reyes.  A great team!  And James and I really noticed the friendly staff and great customer service.

Come now while it is relatively new and not so many people know about it yet so you can have the beach all to yourself 🙂

Rea best described it as Nasugbu’s BEST KEPT SECRET! 

pico-de-loro-cove-brochure-copy-1.jpgpico-de-loro-map.jpg

They have developed 8 condominium towers and have sold around 80% of the units already.  You need to be a unit owner or a member of the club to be able to come inside Pico De Loro and use the facilities

My favorite part of the hotel 🙂

Many works of art around the hotel, this is my favorite one which goes from the ground floor all the way to the top

pico-sands-hotel-015.jpegpico-sands-hotel-08.jpeg

We stayed in the Penthouse Loft!

It’s the only room with a reception area/living room.  It can be turned into a room since the sofa is a pullout bed

Dinner Buffet at Pico De Loro

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

 We bumped into Leah Sison Magallanes who is the head of Food and Beverage at Pico De Loro.  She is in charge of all the food outlets and training all the chefs in the place

The dinner buffet comes with the show and was supposed to be by the beach also but due to the rain, it was moved indoors.  

Together with great entertainment was great food!  We had great Filipino food!!  Leah is obviously doing a great job!!

Welcome to Diesel Island Take II

By | Fashion, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

In the first half of the year 2011, the first pioneers who stepped on Diesel Island dreamt of a virgin place where they could forge their own society. What would it be like to start a nation from scratch? To take what’s great from the countries we know and to ditch what is bad. To re-write the laws. To right social wrongs: the real land of the Stupid and home of the Braves.

Previous entry:  Welcome to Diesel Island March 19, 2011 

After settling on the island, the pioneers need to turn the Successful Living philosophy in a set of principles and prescribe their own rules: this is showcased in the new development of the brand’s campaign, the writing of Diesel Island constitution.

 

The Diesel islanders have not lost their hope in fighting for their right to succeed, taking the Be Stupid manifesto of having balls, letting go, creating stuff, throwing it all in the air and seeing where it lands.

 

The campaign comes to life with a 360° approach. On Diesel’s main site each picture will be featured as a pop-up book, having a different animation, representing one of the laws of the Constitution. Along with the set of laws, the election of a government where social networks serve as polling places: a facebook application, an Island TAB, a YouTube Channel, and digital gadgets on FlickR. Furthermore, a video will be broadcasted across social media sites: a parody of a musical, where the pioneers sing the principles of the Diesel Island Constitution.

 

On top of it all, the Diesel Island campaign will also be integrated into e-commerce: by clicking on any item, a panel is overlaid, allowing a clear appreciation of the clothes, complete product information and a direct link to buy.
