Zoo in Pampanga Cooks Up Late Valentine Treat

Zoocobia, a zoo located in the Clark Field area, showed everyone that it's never too late to celebrate Valentine's Day as the zoo successfully staged the post-Valentine's event "Love is in the Air". Zoocobia owner and Zoomanity Group of Companies president Robert Yupangco, together with Clark Development Corporation head Arthur Tugade and Mabalacat City Mayor Boking Morales, did the ribbon-cutting to open the festivities.

Former That's Entertainment star Chuckie Dreyfuss (L) cut the ribbon to for-
mally kick off the operation of Zing.

Zoocobia's newest feature, the Zing, a zipline and swing in one, was officially launched at the said event. That's Entertainment alumnus and former Survivor castaway Chuckie Dreyfuss graced the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the said ride. An animal show took place before the formal opening of the Zing.

In the nightcap, the culture of the Aetas in the Metro Angeles area was showcased in a tribal show followed by dance performances. The event culminated with a Night Lantern Festival. Sumptuous meals were also offered to the guests during the event. For more information about Zoocobia, you may visit www.zoomanity.com.ph or you can call 09155618885.

Fitness Camp Launched

The MediCard-Meta Fit Fitness Boot Camp team -Koko Tamura

The media people were given a treat as they took centerstage in the trial run of the MediCard-Meta Fit Fitness Boot Camp at the MediCard Lifestyle Center in Makati. The team headed by The Biggest Loser finalists Hazel Chua and Raffy Tan led the media people in doing the dry run of the month-long fitness course.

The media were given four minutes to complete as many sets of ten jumping jacks, ten squats, ten push-ups, and ten lunges as they can. Then some returned for another workout in which each was given 50 seconds to complete as many reps of either burpees, lateral movements, high-knees as they can and 50 seconds to plank.

Most of the people who registered for the boot camp also graced the event and witnessed just a prelude of what to expect in the Metafit camp which begins on February 25. The boot camp will run until March 22.
