The event, which was attended by some of the biggest names in Cebu and Mactan, featured amazing musical performances, awe-inspiring traditional rituals, a rousing oriental and international buffet spread, a wonderful 10-minute fireworks displays, and a whole lot more!

The special guests prepare for the tossing of the Yee Sang.
The Yee Sang is a Cantonese-style raw-fish salad which is never absent in Chinese Lunar new year celebrations. The salad consists of strips of raw fish, shredded vegetables, various sauces, and more!

After the ceremonies and rituals, guests were led to the resort’s central garden which had been transformed into a gorgeous dining hall just for the occasion.
The ‘lantern walk’ is especially popular among guests because of its wonderful look and set-up.
An elaborate and well-designed stage was also set up right in front of the dining area.
Different buffet stations were set up in various parts of the dining area.
The wonderfully-set-up dining area allowed guests to approach stations with ease. Each station was also manned by at least two members of the staff.
The buffet spread consisted of oriental selections as well as well-loved Filipino and international dishes.
A series of well-planned dance and musical performances kept guests entertained during the whole event.
At the end of the event, guests were given a special ‘fortune plant.’
