Boryeong Mud Festival
July 19–28
You have an excuse to fling mud at
your fellow travelers: This festival
allows tourists to pack their bodies
with mineral-rich Boryeong mud for
fun and for its cosmetic properties.
Scrub yourselves at the mud self-
massage zone, witness some mud
wrestling, or hang out at the mud
bath or mud slide. There will be
fireworks and performances too.

Why
The Pianist’s Pianist
?
It was
what
The New Yorker
magazine
once called classical pianist Cecile
Licad. She’ll team up with the ABS-
CBN Philharmonic Orchestra and
music director Gerard Salonga for
one night only. Licad and Salonga
have worked with each other twice
before, and even won an Aliw Award
for Best Concert Collaboration.

The Phantom of the Opera
still moves audiences with its dazzling sets and
costumes, and songs like “Angel of Music” and “All I Ask of You”.
