Lighthouse Oktoberfest 2011. Subic My Backyard!

The Lighthouse Marina Resort in Subic annually holds Oktoberfest with the theme SMB: Subic My Backyard -- Save My Bay. We hope for Subic Bay to be recognized as a short and hassle-free weekend destination for people in Manila, and at the same time, doing our part to save the environment.

In 2009, we celebrated Oktoberfest with some good Rastafarian music. Last year, we had the electrifying tunes of Rock and Roll. This year, we brought in those exhilarating, buoyant beats of Ska with the renowned Jeepney Joyride, Fingertrap and Earthlings. Oktoberfest has always been about the beers, great food, fun activities and excellent music.

To make this event more meaningful, we conducted a sunset beach cleanup together with the local Rotaractors under the supervision of the Rotary Club of Subic Bay and the International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians. The cleanup started at 3pm followed by the beachfront party at 8pm. The Lighthouse Marina Resort has always been a front-runner in environmental activities in Subic. Apart from conducting major Coastal Cleanups, the resort has also participated in various environmental activities such as Earth Hour and Earth Day. Lighthouse is committed to operate in an economically, socially and environmentally responsible manner. We have launched our 'Going Green Program' this year which aims to reduce the use of plastic, conserve water, cut down energy consumption, improve waste management, promote health and wellness and most of all, educate our guests on different ways to help preserve our environment. We will always make an effort to incorporate our environmental advocacy in all our activities. To win this battle to change people's minds and hearts regarding the environment problems is a matter of lifting levels of awareness, and this is what we hope to achieve.

A portion of the proceeds for this event will be donated to the victims of Pedring and to NGOs dedicated on educating people on climate change. This event is sponsored by San Miguel Brewery Inc, Manila Bulletin, FOX International Channels, Subic.com, Subictimes.com, 99.5DWRT and 96.7K-lite.
