| The
Place to Get Bedazzled
by Maryo
B. Labad It
was an amazing experience to watch Bedazzled III Live!, the holiday presentation
of Club Mwah! located at the Venue Tower, Mandaluyong City. This years recipient
of three awards, Phil. Marketing Association's Excellence Award for Bar Entertainment,
The Asia Pacific Award for Asia's Outstanding Entertainment and Theater Bar, and
the Global Excellence Award for the Theater and Bar Entertainment, held in China. 
According
to club co-owner Pocholo Malilin, Club Mwah which turned one year last November,
is a combination of grandiose artistry and technology where the showgirls of Las
Vegas meet Studio 54 in New York. 
Production
numbers are excerpts from various musicals adding color, glamour, and extravagance.
It has a reputation as the home of superb quality shows with international artistic
standards. 
Club
Mwah is a different kind of entertainemtn venue for the bar-going crowd of Manila
and toruists as well. Pocholo says. We envisioned this to be the counterpart of
the elite district in New York where people dress up when they go to the bar. 
Fabulously
settled at the third floor, heavy curtains with dangling Swarovski crystals and
comfortable lounge seats greet as they enter the lobby. Aside from the dance floor,
there's a gallery of you want a more intimate talk with friends. Adjacent to the
gallery is the audio-visual room where the DJ's booth is nestled. Behind the control
room is the Quiet Room, an enclosed lounge area ideal for group parties. With
zebra stripes motiff and black and red furnishings, the room is sound and frie
proof. 
For
Pocholo and partner Chris Nicolas, establishing the club has been their longtime
drea. It took them years and a lot of money just to make their dream come true.
Shows are scheduled every Thursday to Sunday. Other days are for private parties.
Some of Club Mwahs clients include Maricel Soriano, Korina Sanchez, Boy Abunda,
Zsa Zsa Padilla, Susan Roces and other known celebrities. For inquiries, please
