Raise a glass with Jose Antonio Wine’s Bugnay Wine
“Tama na yan, inuman na!” But make it fancy and proudly local.
Celebrate Pride Month with the exquisite taste of Jose Antonio's handcrafted Bugnay Wine. Sourced from the scenic mountains of Cervantes in Ilocos Sur, this artisanal wine is made from farm-grown Bugnay berries and blended with pure natural spring water to give it a robust yet smooth flavor. Perfect for an aperitivo, spritz, or as a pre-dessert drink, this is an exceptional gift that honors the spirit of diversity and craftsmanship.
Let your loved one delight in the richness of this local premium wine. Order a bottle (or two) for them via Facebook or Instagram. The brand also offers wines in smaller bottles, so they’re not heavy and a hassle to carry!
Gather and celebrate with a good meal at Nonie’s Restaurant
Show your loved one that they’re special by sharing a meal with them at Nonie's, a Boracay favorite that has finally opened its doors in the southern part of Metro Manila. The restaurant is celebrated for its commitment to offering good, clean, and fair food, so a visit there is sure to give a menu that bursts with unique flavors and wholesome ingredients.
Try a reimagined local favorite like Nonie’s Tempeh Kare-Kare, made with homemade tempeh with seasonal greens, rich cashew sauce, and traditional bagoong atop organic black rice. As we slowly welcome the rainy days, you can also go for the spicy and creamy Kimchi Noodle Soup featuring a warming bowl of rice noodles, toasted tofu, and homemade kimchi.

Give a safe space for pampering at Barbierro Barbershop
Need a haircut? Just go to a nearby barbershop, tell them your desired cut, and you’re done! But it’s not that simple for some. If you want your loved one to truly pamper themselves, you should invite them for a grooming session at Barbierro Barbershop.
Founded by queer couple Paul Sumayao and Jedi Directo, Barbierro, which is a playful nod to the words "Barbie" and "barbero," is committed to inclusivity by being a safe space for the queer community. They train their staff on SOGIE (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Expression) and respect their customer’s preferred pronouns.
In case you can’t go with them, you can give a Gupit Gift Card instead. It can be used as a full or partial payment, is “valid forever” according to their website, and can be redeemed at any of their locations: Biñan, Laguna and Laong-Laan, Manila. Get it here!
