A visual journey of memory and light: Richmonde Hotel Iloilo unveils “Dumdumanon” by artist Babak Niaraki

Tweet

ILOILO CITY, PHILIPPINES — In celebration of the Iloilo Arts Festival this October and in support of Iloilo Business Park’s recognition as the city’s Center of Arts and Culture, Richmonde Horel Iloilo recently launched Dumdumanon: Seeing Iloilo—Moments of a City, Seen and Remembered, a striking solo photography exhibition by multimedia artist Babak Niaraki.

Derived from the Hiligaynon word that means to remember or recollect, Dumdumanon showcases the essence of shared memories across the curated photographs. Being an Iranian artist who has found his home in Iloilo City, Niaraki uniquely and affectionately captures an outsider-turned-insider experience of life in the regions, covering familiar scenes from the colorful pageantry of the Dinagyang festival to the quiet, unscripted moments of local living.

Niaraki’s photos take spectators on an immersive and emotion-filled visual journey with images so vibrant one can feel the rhythm of the sadsad, the busy noise of the Central Market, and the refreshing breeze and tranquility of the coastal waters. But more than this, the collection invites them to appreciate the rich mosaic of people and places that define the very soul of this growing city.

Art Meets Enriching Experiences

For Richmonde Hotel Iloilo, hosting Dumdumanon serves a dual purpose: it honors Niaraki’s exceptional artistry while reinforcing its commitment to enriching guest experiences with authentic local culture.

"Just as Babak’s photos effortlessly bridge the gap between Iloilo’s high-energy celebrations and its quiet, soulful rhythms, Richmonde strives to elevate every facet of a guest's stay—delivering memorable hospitality not only through grand gatherings, but also in serene retreats," Lucille Pedroso, Richmonde’s Assistant Director of Sales shared. “So, we invite everyone to visit the hotel to reminisce and rediscover Iloilo anew through Babak’s lenses.”

Dumdumanon runs until November 6, 2026 at the hotel lobby. The large format prints on exhibit are also available for sale. For inquiries, call Richmonde Hotel Iloilo at (6333) 328 7888 (63) 917 580 9058.

Coco Martin marks 10 years with Mang Inasal, headlines October 25 Ihaw Fest

Tweet

For the past decade, Coco Martin and Mang Inasal have shared more than a partnership. Both have grown into enduring Filipino favorites, winning the hearts of audiences and customers while staying true to the public who have supported them through the years.

This October, Mang Inasal celebrates its 10-year partnership with Coco Martin, one of the country's most well-loved actors, as he headlines the much-awaited Mang Inasal Ihaw Fest on October 25 at Ayala Malls Feliz, alongside Maris Racal, Shuvee Entrata, and Fyang Smith, with Dimples Romana as host.

The milestone highlights a partnership built on a shared connection with Filipinos, one that has remained strong even as Coco Martin's career and Mang Inasal's nationwide presence have continued to grow.

A decade of growing together

Before becoming one of Philippine television's biggest stars, Coco Martin earned recognition for portraying characters in independent films whose struggles, dreams, and triumphs reflected the lives of ordinary Filipinos.

His career reached new heights through the long-running action series FPJ's Ang Probinsyano and Batang Quiapo. Through these roles, Coco Martin has maintained a strong connection with viewers, particularly those who see their own experiences reflected in the stories he has brought to life.

Mang Inasal has built a similar connection with Filipinos through food.

What began as a grilled chicken restaurant in Iloilo has grown into one of the country's most recognizable quick-service restaurant brands. Through its signature Ihaw-Sarap Chicken Inasal, Unli-Rice experience, and other well-loved offerings, Mang Inasal has become part of everyday Filipino celebrations, family gatherings, and simple moments of togetherness.

Their journeys have taken aligned and complementary paths as Coco Martin and Mang Inasal share an enduring appeal rooted in authenticity, familiarity, and a strong connection with Filipino communities.

More than a celebrity endorsement

Coco Martin has become the face of Mang Inasal, representing the brand's commitment to bringing Ihaw-Sarap food and Unli-Saya experiences to Filipinos. His long-standing partnership with Mang Inasal reflects the brand's belief in building meaningful connections with its customers, beyond individual campaigns or celebrations.

"For the past 10 years, Coco Martin has been an important part of the Mang Inasal story. What makes our partnership special is the genuine connection we both share with Filipinos. As Coco continues to inspire audiences through his work, Mang Inasal remains committed to bringing—through Ihaw-Sarap food and Unli-Saya dining experience—meaningful moments of togetherness to Filipino families," said Mang Inasal President Mike V. Castro.

Mang Inasal's continued growth and recognition also reflect this enduring connection. The brand was named the 2025 Top Brand in the Philippines under the QSR Grilled Category by Influential Brands, underscoring its strong presence among Filipino consumers.

Coco Martin joins Mang Inasal's biggest stars at Ihaw Fest

The celebration continues as Coco Martin headlines the special culminating event of this year’s Mang Inasal Ihaw Fest. Bringing together personalities loved across generations, Ihaw Fest promises a celebration of food, entertainment, and fun Filipino togetherness.

This year’s Ihaw Fest celebrates Coco Martin and Mang Inasal's decade-long partnership of shared success and enduring connection with Filipinos.

To get free passes to the Oct. 25 event, customers need to present official receipts for the Ihaw Fest meals that they enjoyed this October.

Globe powers the energy of MassKara 2026 with 5G

Bacolod City – The City of Smiles comes alive every October as colorful masks, music and festivities fill the streets for MassKara. This year, Globe is adding to the energy with a month-long lineup powered by Globe 5G, giving Bacolodnons and visitors more ways to enjoy and share one of the country’s most vibrant festivals.

The activities put Bacolod’s people and places at the center, giving students, artists, musicians, families, and local communities opportunities to participate while showcasing homegrown talent throughout the festival. “MassKara reflects the creativity, optimism and strong sense of community that Bacolod is known for. We want to give Bacolodnons more ways to come together, showcase their talents and make the most of the festival with connectivity that keeps up with them,” said KD Dizon, Globe Chief Marketing Officer.

The celebration kicked off on October 10 with 5G HyperMove, which brought the local running community together for a challenge to collectively reach one million steps. Young creatives also took part in 5G Building Craft: Paint Tomorrow, using mural art and Gemini AI to develop concepts inspired by Bacolod’s digital future.

Bacolod’s well-known destinations also became part of 5G EnergyTok, a TikTok dance challenge featuring San Sebastian Cathedral and Public Plaza, Negros Museum and Art District, The Ruins, and Capitol Park and Lagoon. Participants showcased their creativity while putting some of the city’s distinct landmarks in the spotlight.

Music will take center stage at G Music Fest on October 17 at the Bacolod Government Center, headlined by December Avenue. Selected student bands from 5G EnergyJam will also perform, giving young musicians from local universities a chance to bring their talent to the MassKara stage.

From October 16 to 18, festival goers can visit the Globe 5G Pitstop booth along Lacson Street for interactive activities, 5G SIM activations and device upgrade options. The hub will give visitors a place to explore Globe 5G while staying close to the main MassKara events.

Globe’s MassKara initiatives are made possible with the Bacolod Gugma Foundation Inc., GCash, Ayala Malls Capitol Central, Jollibee, Leslie’s Chips, and Viu, together with our official beneficiary, Pawssion Project. These collaborations help bring the activities to more people while highlighting the places and local talent that make MassKara distinctly Bacolod.

Beyond the festival

Beyond the festival, Globe will bring its digital programs to local entrepreneurs and students. The Globe Caravan will help micro and small business owners explore connectivity and digital tools for social commerce, while a campus initiative at Bacolod City National High School will provide 20 5G-enabled devices and Digital Thumbprint Program sessions to support digital learning and responsible technology use.

Through its MassKara activities, Globe is combining connectivity with opportunities for Bacolodnons to create, perform, learn, and participate in the digital economy. Its community programs extend that effort beyond the festival, helping students and entrepreneurs build practical skills they can use in their everyday lives.
