Binibini queens to serenade grandparents

Araneta Center pays tribute to all grandparents with #LOL Day: Love Our Lolo and Lola Day today. With activities happening in Ali Mall and Farmers Plaza, and a main event unfolding at the Gateway Mall activity area, the goal is for them to have a lot of fun with their families.

As a special treat, Binibining Pilipinas Grand International Elizabeth Clenci (left) and Binibining Pilipinas International Mariel de Leon (photo) will serenade the lolos and lolas in Gateway Mall. Elizabeth is a bassist and has toured with blues artist Claude Hay in Australia before her winning turn in Binibining Pilipinas. Mariel, on the other hand, is a classically-trained singer who has been part of the Opera Belles.

The Quezon City Performing Arts Choir will serenade the audience in Gateway while artists from Filipino Portrait Artists Guild will do a live sketching activity at the venue.

However, it’s not all fun and games on #LOL Day. The Araneta Center is using this celebration to inspire people to care for their elders by focusing on their health and wellness.

By presenting at least P600 worth of single receipt, senior citizens are entitled to free health check-ups and enjoy the health talks and product sam- pling at the Gateway Mall, Ali Mall and Farmers Plaza. Registrants can also win exciting prizes in all malls via games and raffle draws.

In Ali Mall and Farmers Plaza, seniors can join the Zumba party led by the award-winning Philippine Twiinz Alec Pang and Manny Licsi. #LOL Day: Love Your Lolo and Lola Day is also running a digital contest where those who share their memorable stories about their grandparents will have a chance to win a buffet meal for the whole family from Novotel Manila Araneta Center.

Show your grandparents some love by taking them to #LOL Day: Love Our Lolo and Lola Day at the Araneta Center today at 10 a.m. Share your own #MyAranetaLOLDayStory on social media.
