You know what they say, “what happens in Boracay, stays in Boracay”. After all, what’s a visit to Boracay without some vodka and tequila.If there’s one thing that Boracay is popular (aside from its pristine white sand and beach of course) is the night life and party scene. From station 1 to 3, most especially station 2 where most bars are located, life starts after sunset. While I’m not really the party kind of guy, I actually prefer silence, books and coffee which I know is kinda boring to others, but hey I’m in Boracay. You know that if there’s something you shouldn’t miss it’s the part-ay!
TURN STRANGERS INTO FRIENDS
One popular event in the island is the Boracay Pub Crawl. It’s just basically bar hopping but with a twist. Staying true to their tagline “turning strangers into friends”, here the only thing that’s considered a huge sin is drinking alone.
The party starts around 7:30 pm. You are given a free shirt which you can customize, a baller, coupon stubs and a shot glass. Rules are simple: you’ll be visiting 5 bars, play some games and yes, drink all night. However you must not be caught drinking alone. Before getting your shot, you must tap the shoulder of one friend or stranger. Kinda horrible for a bit introvert like me but here you’ll be forced to talk to one another and meet new set of friends which is pretty awesome. Also, never mind the photos since they have an in-house photographer and you can check the photos on their Facebook page.
GAMES & PARTY
It’s all about drinking right? Nope. One great thing about the Boracay PubCrawl is that it’s never boring. They have all sort of games prepared where you can interact and party with other guests. One game even ties you to two other strangers and the only way to remove that tie is to name at least 3 common things you guys share. Here I met Chit who happens to be living in the subdivision next to our old house (what a coincidence!) and Maria, this mid 40s aunt from California who brought her entire family to the island. She was a charm! She was so fun to be with, super hyper and I just love talking to her.

I look pretty wasted here! LOL!
Here you’ll meet a lot of people. From the guys from Puerto Rico to the ladies who work in Makati, you’ll find yourself living in the zone. I was talking and dancing non-stop. Never mind who’s watching. We are in Boracay. We’re gonna have the best night of our life!
GETTING WASTED
I don’t consider myself a heavy drinker but whenever I drink, I drink hard. I have a high tolerance for alcohol (I think?) but drinking all night long, shot after shot, can make you pretty wasted. By the end of the party, I stayed near the beach front and lied down feeling the soft, cold sand. There were no stars but it was nice staring at the dark sky. The smell of the sea breeze lingers. It was the perfect way to end the night. (note: I didn’t sleep on the beach! haha)
