On a clear sunny Saturday in Boracay, employees of 7Stones Boracay headed to Station 3 to register and volunteer for the annual International Coastal Cleanup Day on the island. The worldwide activity which happens every 3rd Saturday of September is organized by Ocean Conservatory; while in Boracay, the Philippine Coast Guard-Auxiliary acted as national coordinator.

On September 19, 7Stones Boracay was among the hundred volunteers that participated in this meaningful activity. Malay Mayor John Yap also joined the activity and thanked the volunteers for the support and hopes that they will continue doing the activity because it is a big help to the island of Boracay.

As a member of Boracay Foundation, Inc., 7Stones Boracay gladly participated in this global volunteer event. The 7Stones Boracay’ contingent was led by (insert name of leader here and designation). He/She says that “(insert some comments here from the leader of 7Stones’ leader during the activity).”

Boracay is known as one of the best beaches in the world because of its powdery white sand and crystal clear waters that’s why activities like this is an important initiative for the locals, government, and establishments on the island because it is one way of maintaining the beauty of the island.

7Stones Boracay is a proud volunteer of this activity.

Pista Katumbal Sizzles!

Boracay revellers enjoyed a sizzling night as resident chefs at 7th Note Café whipped out Filipino dishes with a spicy twist for Pista Katumbal on August 28, 2015.

As the home of the reigning chilli cook-off champions, Pista Katumbal is 7Stones Boracay’ way of celebrating the Philippines’ Buwan ng Wika (Filipino Language Month). As a country who loves to eat, what better way to celebrate its lengua franca than through food? Katumbal, you see, is chilli in Hiligaynon (the dialect in Western Visayas, where Boracay is located) and is a common ingredient in many provinces in the country.

Champion chefs Al Barrientos and Jun Gonzaga cooked their hearts out with a feast of Sisig Fried Rice (Pampanga), Kinilaw na Tuna (Cebu), Chicken Inasal (Bacolod), Laing (Bicol), Pansit ala Insarabasab (Ilocos) and Ginataang Puso ng Saging with Dilis (Cagayan Valley). Of course, the dessert was chilli inspired as well—Sili Ice Cream!

Boracay locals and tourists joined in the chilli fiesta and Francisco Dagohoy and Sheena Fulleros of Wendys Apartel Boracay and Metrobank Boracay, respectively, both won an overnight stay at 7Stones Boracay.

The partygoers danced and sang to 70’s disco music, 80’s glam rock and 90’s alternative rock until the wee hours of the night.

Everyone had a good and sizzling night with Pista Katumbal!
