  • Is your dad or husband a fitness buff? Get his heart pumping healthily by encouraging him to sign up for the Men’s Health All-Terrain Race, happening on June 21 at Sta. Elena, Sta. Rosa, Laguna. You and the rest of your family can watch from the sidelines and cheer him on to victory. Download the registration form here.
  • Sharing an abundant feast with the whole family is one of the best ways to celebrate Father’s Day. On June 21, invite dad to indulge in delectable dishes in Seasons at Manila Pavilion. For P1,200 per head, you can take part in their Father’s Day Buffet. If that’s out of your budget, take the family to Peony Garden, also at Manila Pavilion, where each of you can enjoy the buffet for only P700. Call Seasons at (632) 526-1212 local 2318 and Peony Garden at (632) 526-1212 local 2303.
  • For the film junkie dad, we suggest catching The Taking of Pelham 123, an intense action thriller now showing in Metro Manila theaters. The movie stars two of the biggest male stars in Hollywood, John Travolta and Denzel Washington. Both guys are great celebrity dads, too!
  • If you’re really scrimping (and your dad won’t mind a slightly belated Father’s Day gift), why don’t you score him a Goodyear travel pack courtesy of Goodyear Philippines? Join this promo on TopGear.com.ph and indulge your dad’s wanderlust. Prizes will be announced in Top Gear Philippines’ July issue. Watch for it!
  • If your dad is both a gamer and a fan of the Fab Four, he’ll be ecstatic to know that The Beatles: Rock Band is coming soon! Although the video game won’t be released until September 9, you can show your dad this trailer. If you really want to go all-out on your Father’s Day gift, you can get him an Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, or Playstation 3 so when The Beatles: Rock Band comes out, he’ll be ready with his geek gear! Find out more by visiting www.thebeatlesrockband.com.
  • If your dad is bagets or simply happens to be an Atenean who would love an excuse to visit his alma mater, make him tag along with you to a dance concert, A.B.U.N.DANCE (All ‘Bout Us ‘N DANCE), which will be held tomorrow, June 20, 6PM, at the Henry Lee Irwin Theater in Ateneo de Manila University. The dance fest features a radical fusion of street dance, funk, and hip-hop, delivered by today's generation of talented young dancers, namely Stylettos, Cross Effects (XFX), and Miriam College High School PEP Squad, among others.
