The artist also became the first Asian to headline in a main showroom of the Las Vegas Strip, performing with Hawaii’s Society of Seven at the Jubilee Theatre of Bally’s and at the main showroom of the Flamingo. Misalucha, at the time, already had eight studio albums, four live albums and three compilation albums.

Spread over 400 hectares, Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar features a collection of Spanish colonial buildings and stone houses. It is located in Bagac, Bataan, easily accessible via NLEX and SCTEX.

Aside from Misalucha’s performance, guests will enjoy a four-course dinner in the midst of the picturesque hall featuring Filipino crafts and artworks.
