With MT. Apo in the background, the sun bid adieu in glorious pink, blue, and orange, the classic sounds of vintage jazz came alive with Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five” as only the band, ALTERED REALITY, can render.
Guests from the European chamber of commerce, the diplomatic corps (China, Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan and others), the Davao chamber of commerce were treated with Malaysian-Chinese appetizers from the Blue
Lotus Hotel’s signature restaurant, the LAUT SEAFOOD PALACE.
The View at the Blue Lotus Hotel, Davao’s newest four star hotel gives a breathtaking view of Samal Island and Mt. Apo and the city light scenes along Quimpo Boulevard.
