Lucky shoppers will also get a chance win gift packs from Parkmall for joining the activity.
Kumbira
No Filipino fiesta is ever complete without a feast, and what better place to enjoy one that’s proudly Cebuano than at Cebu’s premier al fresco dining destination.

The Kumbira feast starts at 5PM until 12MN on January 13-15 at the Central Bark, right beside Choobi-choobi.
