Faithful to its promise of a bigger, bolder and more grandiose event, Lifestyle Network’s Summer Soul 2012 blasted off last May with a huge beach bang.

Fabulous activities gave the participants a fun yet relaxing time on the beautiful island of Boracay with the year’s theme “Beach Mardi Gras”.

To slate the tradition, the 6th year of this momentous event was opened with the Annual All-White Party. Discovery Shores Boracay welcomed the guests of Summer Soul 2012 dressed in their pristine all-white ensembles . A sumptuous Cajun/Creole menu personally created by Chef David Pardo de Ayala was served.

Escola de Samba de Manila led the guests up to their feet as they played Brazilian beats and engaged the guests into Samba lessons after.

Spotted at the event were Metro Society magazine Editor-in-chief Raul Manzano , Donnie and Crickette Tantoco, Rafa and Amina Alunan, Anton Barretto and Lifestyle Network’s valued sponsors.

Summer Soul guests were also treated to a dining experience by two of Boracay’s best restaurants, Siam Chili and Aria Cucina Italia.

Due to the success of the previous year’s Boracay Community Market, Lifestyle Network once again mounted mounted a community market in Plazoleta featuring local restaurants and chefs who offered off-the-menu specials that sold like hotcakes during the event. Manila’s best online mom and baby product merchants were also brought in like Indigo Baby, Ahgoo Baby and Luv Gear.
