For this venture, the hotel commissioned the  emerging Filipino artists Mano Gonzales and Alaga–their artworks will be installed in The Lobby until September 30. 

Mano Gonzales, a self-taught artist from Manila, explores politics, identity, and gender through his work. He draws on a wide range of influences to create drawings, sculptures, and fashion styling. Alaga, on the other hand, uses textiles, performance, and illustration to celebrate queer ecology and call for the conservation of Philippine biodiversity.

In addition to the digital art collectibles, buyers will also receive a physical premium collectible box containing a physical frame that will play the audiovisual NFT, a certificate of authenticity, and a physical piece of art from the artist.

In a statement, The Peninsula Manila’s contemporary art program Art in Resonance embodies its commitment to the Philippine cultural scene. The program empowers artists by offering financial and logistical aid, enabling them to create intricate public art projects. It also features panel discussions and guided tours.

Pre-47th Dinner Concert

The Peninsula Manila is hosting an exclusive pre-47th anniversary dinner concert at The Lobby on August 10th titled “Meet Me at The Pen: A Symphony of Talent Unveiled.” The event will feature a lineup of performers, including renowned National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab, a musician, composer, conductor, and legend in Philippine music, the Ryan Cayabyab Singers, and singer Nicole Asensio.

During the event, Maestro Cayabyab will take the audience on a journey through his lifelong passion for music. He will perform interpretations ranging from the classic Great American Songbook to the beats of Motown and The 5th Dimension. Accompanied by the Ryan Cayabyab Singers, he will also grace the stage with his original compositions that have solidified his status as a national artist. Additionally, Nicole Asensio will unveil two music videos and delight attendees with popular jazz melodies.

The ₱8,800 (inclusive of taxes) package includes a five-course dinner at 7:00 PM, followed by a concert at 7:15 PM.
