The Philippine Star

A new haven in Bohol

- by JOHNNY LITTON

Adding a new milestone to its successful company history is Henann Group of Resorts, which is under the brilliant leadership of chairman Dr. Henry Chusuey, with the recent opening of Henann Resort Alona Beach.

The 6.5- hectare proper ty is Henann Group’s f irst developmen­t outside Boracay and is located at the southeaste­rn side of the pristine Alona Beach in Panglao Island, Bohol.

The resort is said to be the largest in the province with its 400 luxurious rooms, a convention center, a luxury spa, three massive swimming pools and a wide range of dining outlets. The resort also has the longest and widest beachfront along Alona Beach.

Further pursuing its commitment to promote tourism in the country, the Henann Group partnered with AirAsia, the world’s best low- cost airline for seven consecutiv­e years now according to the Skytrax World Airline Awards. As part of the agreement, an AirAsia Airbus A320 has been customized with a vibrant blue airplane wrap with the Henann logo prominentl­y displayed on both sides of the aircraft. Henann Group also inaugurate­d a three- story, 2,160- sq.-m. convention center situated across the resort that can accommodat­e up to 1,000 guests.

Noted personalit­ies from the diplomatic, government, business and social circles attended the momentous event including Senate President Franklin Drilon, Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, Embassy of Venezuela Chargé d’Affaires Yelitza Ventura Polanco, Bohol Representa­tives Rene Relampagos and Arthur Yap, Iloilo Rep.

Arcadio Gorriceta, Iloilo City Rep. Jerry Treñas, Bohol Gov. Edgar Chatto and Aklan Gov. Florencio Miraflores. Guests were graciously welcomed by Henann Group of Resorts vice chairman Anna Lissa Chusuey along with her children, executive vice president Alfonso Chusuey, vice president for marketing Karl Chusuey and Christina Chusuey. Congratula­tions to Dr. Henry Chusuey and the entire Henann Group of Resorts team for this remarkable endeavor! Here’s to more success!

The ever gracious couple, Zambia Consul Luis Ablaza and Guatemala Consul Mellie Ablaza, recently treated several of their close friends from the diplomatic, business and social circles to a gastronomi­c boodle fight lunch at their palatial home in the family-owned estate Hacienda Amelia in Alfonso, Cavite.

The exclusive gathering was the couple’s way of expressing their gratitude to their many friends who continuous­ly share their time and talent for the couple’s various projects.

Guests were truly delighted with the delicious spread of well-loved Filipino dishes prepared by chef Jessie Sincioco.

Until the next luncheon, Louie and Mellie!
