Wazzup Pilipinas!

An out-of-this-world party is happening at the Araneta Center this April 21, Easter Sunday. Leading the “eggs-ploration” in “Spacetacular Easter” are rising child star Jordan Lim, and the very cute Mela Francisco, daughter of “Pinoy Big Brother” couple Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco.Jordan, the nephew of actor Daniel Padilla, can be seen regularly on “Magandang Buhay” and “Home Sweetie Home.” He and Mela will be bonding with the kids who will sign up for the revelry at the Gateway Mall.

“Spacetacular Easter” will treat young participants and their families to a terrific time they will not forget. Registration starts at 11 am.

One of the highlights of the event is an egg hunt with a twist. Kids will have a grand time searching the grounds of the Gateway Mall, Ali Mall and Farmers Plaza for “cosmic eggs.” In exchange for these eggs, the kids who will find them will receive fantastic treats.

Participants aged 0 to 12 dressed as astronauts, space explorers, aliens, galaxy heroes and even cosmic figures may join the “Little Universe Costume Contest” at the Gateway Mall and Ali Mall, where exciting prizes await the winners.



Gateway Mall and Ali Mall will host a “Mad Science” show, which combines experiments and tricks that will definitely pique the interest of the young participants. A kiddie ball pit at the Farmers Plaza, meanwhile, will be decked out for a space travel feel. Families will also enjoy the photo booths and other activations in the three malls.

All kid registrants will receive loot bags and other freebies from Araneta Center and the event sponsors.

Dusit International, one of Thailand’s foremost hotel and property development companies, has signed a Franchise Agreement with Al Masar Hotel Management LLC, to upgrade the former Dusit Residence Dubai Marina to the Dusit Princess Residences Dubai Marina.

Located at the Marina, a popular tourist destination and preferred residential area just off the Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone, which includes Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City and Dubai Knowledge Village, the 146-key property is currently being refurbished and will comprise Serviced Apartments, Holiday Homes and Residential units in a choice of one, two or three-bedroom configurations.

Designed to facilitate business and leisure, the upgraded property will feature meeting facilities, a fully equipped gym, a spa, a wellness-focused restaurant serving healthy and organic foods, and a bakery.



Damac Metro and Tram Stations, the Marina Mall, and The Beach Mall are all within walking distance. Attractions such as Mall of Emirates, Ski Dubai, Ibn Battuta Mall, Emirates Golf Club, Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Beach Park and Wild Wadi Water Park can all be reached in 10 – 15 minutes by car. The Dubai World 2020 Expo site is also only a short drive away.

“We are delighted to sign this franchise agreement with Al Masar Hotel Management LLC for Dusit Princess Residences Dubai Marina,” said Mr Lim Boon Kwee, Chief Operating Officer, Dusit International. “The comfort and convenience of the Dusit Princess brand, and the property’s prime location, make it an attractive proposition for anyone looking for a short- or long-term base in the city, especially with the Dubai Expo 2020 coming up.”

According to its plans, Dusit will have nine hotels in operation in the GCC by the end of the year.
