Repoblacion ng Pilipinas: The Biggest Street Party in Manila:

What better way to celebrate Philippines’ 120th Independence Day than by having a street party, a night of good live music and great food, and a toast to our forefathers; fight for our Independence. As we commemorated Independence Day, Z Hostel hosted an epic event called “Repoblacion ng Pilipinas: An Independence Day Party”.

Rain or shine, the party didn’t stop. The Z Street in Poblacion, Makati once again proved that this once-dark street is now the busiest street in Makati showcasing different restaurants, bars, and hostels.

In partnership with generous sponsors, Z Hostel showered the night with fun and exciting performances that were very Filipino. The streets were thrilled as OPM artists, different types of street entertainment, a parade of heroes, cultural dances, and chefs brought the night to life. T’was truly an epic night!

The celebration took place at three main locations under the Z Group: Z hostel, The Apartment, and The Ruins along with their partners Pura Vida, Polilya, Agimat, Alamat, The Smokeyard and the rest of the establishments along Z street.
Z Hostel is not your typical hostel as it houses a roof deck where party goers, celebrities and tourists can go. During the event, there were free cocktails, as well. You could choose from rum, vodka and the “whatever” (a mixture of four different alcohols). The performers of the night were Marvin Cruz, Bad Boy Jeff, and Mick Martinez.

The Apartment is literally an apartment that has been converted into a bar (it’s open every Wednesday to Saturday nights). If you’re the type of person who loves house parties, then this is the right place for you. The performers were Groove DJs, Mano Dario, Jason Soong, Coox, Abdel Aziz, John Monreal, Bombi Balquedria, Marie Garcia, and Arnel Genterone.

Z Hostel and associates have it all! From a cool hostel with a roof deck, an apartment converted into a bar, and a bar with artsy stuff called The Ruins. This place is perfect for those who are into art as it houses local and international paintings made by various artists headed by Henri Lamy. Be amazed and enjoy a fun conversation with this French artist when you visit and discover the paintings that he created while doing capoeira.
