ALIKE, a media company known for curating not just inspiring features but also exceptional experiences in the world of art, fashion, food, and hospitality, took a cutting edge approach to connecting 18 of the most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes with its inaugural "Alike Soiree" last February 29.

Held at the vibrant Te'kila Bar in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), the event offered a whirlwind of meticulously timed one-on-one conversations, allowing participants to explore potential matches in a fun and fast-paced manner. Imagine this: nine pairs of discerning singles, each armed with a set of intriguing questions, engaging in a series of quickfire conversations.

The Alike Soiree upped the game by injecting a sense of urgency and excitement with tequila shots to boot. Within mere minutes, participants delved into conversation, and got to know each other in a fun socials drinking game with strips of life probing questions they had to answer, or if they choose not to, to take a tequila shot for.

Chari Trinidad-Mendoza, CEO and founder of Alike, perfectly captured the essence of the event in her opening remarks, "This was just an idea I had last week to commemorate February's love month and it's amazing to see it come to life. Special thanks to Atty. Jan Rurik Padiernos of Te'kila Bar for making this night happen. So please do enjoy the friendships because that's always the start of love," she said, "It's leap day today and the next February 29 will be four years from now. So, let's make this day memorable."

Te'kila Bar, a haven for tequila enthusiasts and those seeking a vibrant atmosphere, provided the perfect backdrop for the Alike Soiree. Located in the heart of BGC at the G/F of BGC Corporate Center 2 (across Shangri-La BGC), Te'kila Bar boasts of a spacious lively ambiance perfectly suited for memorable socials. The sleek surroundings, infused with the spirit of Mexican culture, offered a comfortable space for guests to sip their tequila, dine, and mingle.

The successfully mounted Alike Soiree was in partnership with Te'kila Bar, and its generous sponsors like Beauty Bar, Bumble, Lush, Diana Stalder, and A-List & Partners Consulting Group Inc. played a crucial role in making this first-of-its-kind event a reality.
