MANILA, Philippines—Feel the earth shake under your feet tonight when Bamboo hits the stage at the World Trade Center for Rock N’ Rumble at 7 p.m. Imagine, a set of ripping rock originals from these guys, while a URCC match is happening live right in the middle of everything?! This is technically a free event for Bamboo fans who bought Pony Footwear from May 15 to July 5 from select SM Mall Outlets: Megamall, Makati, North Edsa, Mall of Asia, Fairvew, Pampanga, Marilao, Cubao, Taytay, Sta. Mesa, Manila, San Lazaro, Harrison, South Mall, Bacoor, Dasmariñas, Sta. Rosa and Clark! A single receipt for a minimum purchase of P2,395 worth of Pony Footwear entitles a customer to two (2) tickets.
SEE blood and sweat fly and try not to get any on you tonight when the Universal Reality Combat Championship is on gain in Manila at the A.Venue Events Hall, Makati Ave., Makati City. The URCC XII Supreme will feature a throw down between the reigning middle-weight champion Caloy Baduria and the current URCC welterweight title-holder Eduard Folayang. Also in the cards is the bantamweight bout pitting Lino Tagacay against Justin Cruz. Urbandub will also be on hand to provide the rocking music just right for this roaring occasion. Call 891-9999 for tickets or just get them at the door.
SMELL the popcorn and try to keep up with the subtitles at Eiga Sai 2008: Japanese Film Festival at the Shangri-La Plaza Cineplex.
