Take note of these dates: May 10 is Mother’s Day and June 21 is Father’s Day for this year 2015. Many seems to forget these dates and I admit I’m one of those people who don’t mark these important celebrations in my calendar. I give thanks to the brands and commercial establishments for being always up to date and reminding us that we should celebrate the event that honors our mother and father.
To celebrate it, we have the option to stay home, let our moms or dad or their kids prepare the celebration and offer the best homegrown food on the table, or the entire family can go out and enjoy a one day break with our mom and dad, we sometimes treat them to a nice spa, hotel staycation and relaxation.
If you are looking for a special celebration for this coming mom and dad’s day, then check out the Sofitel Manila’s offerings that features the best traditional and heirloom recipes by invited celebrity chefs and also from their very own Spiral artisans and master chefs.
