the open forum with Cebu Pacific Air and KidZania Manila bigwigs

Kai! That means hello in Kidzania, by the way. I have recently been to have a first glimpse of this most talked-about attraction soon to open in Taguig City and I am simply excited. Read on to know more on what I am thrilled about and to be in the loop on when Kidzania Manila will be opening its doors to the Filipino children. Now, I wish there was also a version that accommodates grown-ups. I thought mums need opportunities to play, too, won’t you agree? Oh well, enough of me prattling, do go on and read the post now! 🙂

The country’s leading airline, Cebu Pacific Air, is the official partner of the first Philippine facility of KidZania, the global leader in children’s educational entertainment and they have recently announced the launch of their newest flights to the nation where kids rule ~ KidZania Manila! I was fortunate to join members of the press, mum bloggers and officials from Cebu Pacific Air and Kidzania Manila in their recent press launch at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig and get first dibs on what soon will be a leading edutainment destination in the country. I was way too excited and I can tell that everyone in the crowd with small children are equally looking forward to its opening!

Cebu Pacific has always been a staunch advocate of education through travel and launching their new destination at KidZania Manila affirms this commitment. According to Cebu Pacific President and CEO Lance Gokongwei, a flight is the best way to welcome kids to this exciting, interactive city. Just like in real life, these flights can lead to life-changing discoveries and boundless opportunities. He also meantioned that they are very excited to partner with KidZania to enable kids to fly, even if it is only with their imagination, and give children their Cebu Pacific boarding pass to a fun learning experience.

Governor of Kidzania in the Philippines and President and CEO of Play Innovations, Inc., Maricel Pangilinan-Arenas opined that Cebu Pacific is the perfect partner to introduce these kids to a Juan-of-a-Kind learning experience and the joys of traveling to a new city as a lot of kids dream of becoming pilots and flight attendants when they grow up. She also added that, much like Cebu Pacific, KidZania values fun and put a premium on the power of play and they are indeed very thrilled and proud for KidZania Manila to join Cebu Pacific’s list of fantastic destinations.

Cebu Pacific and KidZania Manila gives the crowd a taste of what to look forward to when the door of its local facilities open in February of next year. Part of the ceremony is a fun performance by flight attendants and their little counterparts, along with the cute KidZania mascots. The highlight of the event, of course, was the unveiling of the KidZania Manila facade. Isn’t that plane amazing? I am sure my son will beg to be brought here just by the sight of that cool plane! ^_^

ActiveFun is one of the little man’s happy places, so it is no surprise that when I told him about our invite for the new branch opening at SM Megamall’s Fashion Hall he was truly excited! It has been a while since we have been to Mega Mall considering its distance from our place so I thought the invite is just the perfect excuse to go there again and it is also about  the perfect time to pay this mall a visit once more and see what has changed since we’ve been here last.

the very lively program host with a bunch of kiddos including the little man 🙂

The Opening Ceremony includes a fun program where mums and kids were treated to an exciting magic show, fun games for both the kids and the kids-at-heart and a number of exciting raffles, too! Snacks were also served, along with tasty desserts found at the very charming dessert buffet set up. There were also exciting booths the children can participate in, including the Art workshop and the photo booth. The little man participated in one of the games and won himself a pack of Goody Gulp drinks! We also had our photos taken at the booth where Jared put on a number of masks, including this cool Iron Man mask!

Of course, the little man did not leave this branch without giving their play area a go. Before the program was even finished he requested if he can enter the play area to get some well-deserved playtime. This mum is more than happy to oblige!
