Empowered Conversations Over Charcuterie: bai Hotel Cebu Hosts ‘Her Story Continues'
bai Hotels • 17 March 2026
This March, bai Hotel Cebu is proud to announce its International Women’s Month campaign, Her Story Continues, a curated celebration dedicated to the makers, thinkers, and glow-getters who define the modern female journey.
The centerpiece of this campaign is A Dining by Discussion, an intimate and inspiring talk show hosted at the elegant Marble + Grain Steakhouse. The event brings together a circle of influential women to share a vision over a charcuterie board while diving deep into the realities of empowerment in 2026.
The discussion features a diverse panel of leaders from various fields, including:
- Andi Patena-Matheu: A prominent Host and Media Personality who shapes the way we hear women's stories.
- Dia Colmenares: A Digital Content Creator and devoted mother who balances the real with the digital every day.
- Chef Lychiell Alde: A Pastry Chef and Crafter who proves that leadership and artistry go hand-in-hand.
- Dr. Bianca Lopez-Salimbangon: An Optometrist and COO who balances clinical precision with corporate power.
- Therese Borromeo: A visionary Entrepreneur and mother who is redefining the landscape of the beauty industry.
The conversation moves beyond surface-level industry talk, focusing on six pillars of the modern female experience:
- Breaking Barriers: Finding the courage to start before you feel ready.
- The Superwoman Myth: Normalizing imperfection and prioritizing what truly matters.
- The Power of Intuition: When a woman’s gut feeling becomes a professional asset.
- Professional Etiquette: Discussing boundaries and unspoken respect in leadership spaces.
- Modern Partnerships: Redefining relationships as a bonus rather, than a requirement for survival.
- Legacy: Essential big sister advice on trusting one’s identity in self-worth.
Dining by Discussion special will premiere as a Facebook Live on March 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with an encore replay scheduled for 6:00 PM that same day. The episode will also be available on bai Hotel Cebu’s official YouTube channel.
