About Weber – Much More Than A Grill

It all began with a passionate barbecue enthusiast named George Stephen, who invented the world’s first kettle grill in 1952 – a grill that ended up changing the barbecue culture throughout the world. He did not do it in order to enrapture the whole world – he simply wanted to find a way to barbecue better steak for his family and friends. And he succeeded! That is now over 60 years ago.
“We are not metal benders – we are in the entertainment business”. That brief sentence sums up Weber. For us, a grill is much more than a grill – it is a focal point for unforgettable experiences. This was the philosophy George Stephen founded Weber on… it is the philosophy that has revolutionized the world of barbecuing… and it is the philosophy that still permeates Weber today.

Who isn't excited about holidays? Guess what. June
26 is Eid’l Fitr, which means another long weekend is coming up.
Everyone’s now scrambling to book cheap flights or bus tickets to
take advantage of this free Monday. If you’re not one of the lucky
few who managed to whip up a quick vacation, here are a few things
that will keep you entertained without leaving the city. Some of them
are even free!
Be
productive
Let’s
face it – not everyone is at peace with sitting around the whole
day doing nothing. For those who always need to be busy, this is your
chance to learn something outside of work. The hottest skill right
now is anything digital, and you can get free (or cheap) courses
online to get a head start. Learn the basics
of Adobe Photoshop, find out how to make a powerful blog with
WordPress,
finally figure out how to market
on Facebook and Twitter, or start building a digital platform
with HTML or CSS.
If it’s too nerdy for your liking, get crafty with the many
workshops available at CraftMNL,
Ink Scribbler, or Memory
Crafters.
Jumpstart
a healthy lifestyle
If
you’ve been trying to live a healthier lifestyle, perhaps a visit
to BPI-Philam’s Win
the Moment Wellness Festival will help you jumpstart this change.
Head to Trinoma Activity Center on June
24 and
participate in interactive booths that let you experience total
wellness – not just physical but also social, emotional, mental and
financial. From dance classes by G-Force, life-sized board games, and
inspirational talks that help you pursue passion without losing all
your live savings, the Win
the Moment Wellness Festival brings a unique experience to all
Filipinos. Top it off with a mini concert by KZ
Tandingan
and Quest,
and you’ve crossed out one full day! Just download the Philam
Vitality Active App from the Apple Store or Google Play and use the
promocode bplacwtm to gain free entrance. You can register here.
Bring
in the kids
Looking
for someone who knows how to have fun? Turn to the little ones,
whether you have your own kids, your young relatives, or your
mommy-friend’s tots. There are so many things to do around Manila
during the long weekend, but bringing the kids along will give it
that extra energy and humor. Take a kalesa tour around the beautiful
Intramuros, visit the many museums around the city and the
newly-opened Planetarium in Manila, or let their (and your) energy
loose at the many activities at SM
by the Bay, Kidzania,
or Dreamplay.
Food-Tripping

The
best thing about a long weekend in the city is there are way less
people crowding the streets and restaurants. Here’s your chance to
head to some of those sought-after restaurants you can’t seem to
get a free table in. Grab a seat at the 20-seater Mendokoro
Ramenba at Salcedo Village in Makati, the tiny but super popular
La Chinesca at BF
Homes in Paranaque, or the full-to-the-brim Locavore
in BGC or Kapitolyo. Looking for something new? Get your Filipino fix
at the Poblacion
Dining Room or a taste of Korea at Kko
Kko in Makati without having to fight over parking as much as
usual. You can also just head to Quezon City and sample everything at
the newly-opened Kontorini
Food Park.
