Honey Jarque-Loop

Casino Español de Cebu ushered in the New Year with its traditional costume party, embracing a vibrant disco theme.

Guests were immersed in a delightful ambiance that began with a celebratory mass officiated by Msgr. Achilles Dakay, setting a positive tone for the occasion. This was followed by a selection of exquisite cocktails each thoughtfully crafted to complement a variety of Spanish tapas.

The combination of spiritual reflection and culinary indulgence created an inviting environment, encouraging guests to socialize and savor the rich flavors of Spanish cuisine.
