(SPOT.ph) Quick bit of history: the festivities of Cinco de Mayo were born from the unexpected victory of an outnumbered group of Mexican fighters who fought against invading forces from France in May 5, 1862. Everyone loves to root for the underdog, which is probably why, to this day, people commemorate the historic moment by celebrating the victory every 5th of May. Looking to take part in the festivities? Here's where you can join in on the fun:
Cinco de Mayo at Eastwood City
Enjoy a Mexican-inspired feast while dancing to party beats from different DJ's: Headliners on May 3 are the Hernandez Brothers, Nix Damn P, MC Ronthug, Khai Lim, and Max Berardi. Can't make it? Catch Mars Miranda, Ace Ramos, MC Pao Avila, Arra Pascual, and Katsy Lee on May 4 instead—tacos and other Mexican treats will be available at the Batallia Del Taco that day, too! Don't forget to shop for novelty items at the Mercado El Quinto at Eastwood Central Plaza and Citywalk 2 while you're there.
Drink O' De Mayo at Forbes Town
If free-flowing drinks are more your style, then you might want to spend your weekend at Forbes Town instead. For only P505, you can get a stub that offers freebies and deals at participating bars and restaurants in the area. Drop by and join drinking games and quiz nights from May 2 to 4, or you can just chill and enjoy the music while you down your second (or is that your third?) cocktail.
Tequila Loca at Uptown Bonifacio
