Masungi Georeserve, a vast conservation area of ancient forests and limestones at the foot of the Sierra Madre mountain ranges a 1.5-hour drive from metro Manila, has added a unique events place on a hilltop.
Called Silayan, the circular venue is designed to blend with, and have a 360 degree view of, the spectacular natural environment. Glass walls partition the indoor space from the al fresco area. Catering for events is done in-house, and the menu will comprise of organic and seasonal ingredients.
Other event spaces on-site include Dasalan (Meditation Hut), Tipunan, and the Rock Garden Events Hall.
Outside of the event spaces, exploring Masungi and its numerous nature trails can be incorporated into corporate programmes.
For example, The Discovery Trail includes traversing hanging bridges connecting limestone peaks; taking in the scenery on the giant spider web-like contraption; and resting in giant hammocks and raindrop-shaped “air house”.
Meanwhile, The Legacy Trail is for those who want to join in various conservation and restoration efforts including tree planting and nurturing, guided by park rangers.
