The Havana Club livens up the Sipag Villar Commercial Center at C-5 Extension Road, Pulang Lupa Uno in Las Pinas City.

During its soft opening recently, Senator Cynthia Villar welcomed guests to the elegant Havana Club whose ambiance is inspired by her family's visit to Cuba many years ago. She also admires the colorful paintings that hang on the walls of the classy and clean bar.


"Itong mga paintings na ito sa streets of Cuba lang namin nabili ang mga yan, mga 10 years ago. Mahilig sila mag-painting sa kalye," the senator said. (These paintings were bought in Cuba 10 years ago.  They love to paint in the streets).

Havana Club has a stylish bar. It's the perfect place to enjoy a tropical Cuban themed resto in the heart of the city.

Enjoy Latin-inspired dishes and tapas or sample some of the finest rums and drinks from their selection.


Havana Club is all set up to be a great place to spend the night away with good food and acoustic live music.

Amid the sound of Cuban music, Mrs. Villar treated guests to special dishes served in the bar - appetizers, chicken, beef, paella, and seafood.

During dinner, the topics for conversations sparked from food to politics.


Senator Villar broke her silence on rumors that her husband Manny Villar will run for mayor of Manila next year.

"Hindi siguro. Happy na s'ya sa private life," said the smiling senator.

Mr. Villar, whose current net worth is US$4.1 billion according to Forbes magazine, is currently the chairman of Starmalls, one of Philippines largest mall operators, and Vista Land & Landscapes, the country's largest homebuilder.


Senator Villar also commented on her responsibilities if her husband becomes mayor.

"Kapag ikaw ang wife ng mayor, ikaw ang magilinis ng buong city. Tama na sa akin ang Baseco sa Maynila. That's it," the senator said. (If you are the mayor's wife, you will clean the whole city. Baseco is enough for me).

In 1992, Senator Villar founded and chaired the Villar Foundation, the programs of which include providing assistance to overseas foreign workers, environment protection and livelihood projects. The foundation now has livelihood centers in more than 1,000 locations nationwide.


Asked how she relaxes when not busy, the senator said: "Madalas hindi na ako nag-re-relax. Pagdating sa bahay, nanunuod na lang kami ni Manny ng news. Bihira na kaming lumabas." (I don't relax anymore. When we arrive home, Manny and I watch the news. We seldom go out now)

"Then I wake up early and we go to the office, maaga rin. Minsan wala pa kaming makausap sa office," she said.


Mrs. Villar also said that she is happy with the family's new coffee shop business called "The Coffee Project" which now has 25  branches.

"Hindi naman ako umiinom ng kape. Si Manny lang ang mahilig sa coffee," she said. (I don't drink coffee. It's Manny who loves coffee). - ROBERT REQUINTINA
