Start the day with love

A new and refreshing spot to bring mom to is Villar City. Located in Las Piñas, this 3,500-hectare space offers so many activities for mom and the whole family. Start the day with a hearty brunch meal at Brittany Hotel. For P2,800 per person, with kids eating for free and 50 percent off between seven to 12 years old, the whole family can enjoy bonding over great food from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Avail of extra treats on May 12 only with a voucher of either a 15-minute foot or back massage, or a manicure or pedicure at Cedar Room for mom, along with herb plants and discount voucher from Botanica Salon. Children also get a complimentary cookie and cupcake glazing lessons at the hotel.
