Victoria Court, the empowered pink card and the amazing sticker



Filipinos have a different mindset when they heared the word “motel.” Usually whenever I tell to everyone that Victoria Court is supporting me in my events, they smile, naughty smile but hey! They are very gracious and generous, they supported our  Laguna Blogging Summit lunch/dinner  for two days.  Anyway, going back to the Filipino mindset, honestly speaking, I cannot blame them because that’s the Filipino culture and maybe they haven’t been to any other countries unlike me where me and my family always had an overnight in a motel in the states because sometimes a hotel is not available in that place, motel is usually cheaper and accessible.  For many in the Philippines, one thing in their mind when they heard the word "motel" or the brand is we are talking about sex and worst, sex outside marriage and Filipinos are still not use in talking about it. Upps! Sorry, not moi.




All I can say is that, not to defend Victoria Court but to tell to the whole world that it’s the biggest motel chain in the Philippines with thematic themes, clean, good food and an extraordinary room with different unique designs to admire. I remember meeting the heir, Ian King for showing to him our Interior Designs. I am connected then to the “Purpose Store” which is the biggest Advertising Company in the Philippines, I presented our products and services to him with my CEO in tow. In VC office in Malate, it’s kinda like an art gallery with different design of ceramic and porcelain tiles. The building is posh, it’s like a designing company.

Anyway, just like to add also that Ian King is a Reproductive Health advocate. He donated 250 Tshirts to Carlos Celdran through me (Yep! I received the 50 and distributed all to my friends) as a form of his support and very vocal about this in Social Media, watta guy right? Ok here it goes, they have a promo and I am telling you, a common Juan cannot just get their accommodation because of the cost, it’s not a cheappo but just right. So this is your chance. Let’s just say that what you pay is what you get and in case of VC, it’s amazing.

I also like to spend a party at VC and looking forward for that.



Just check below. I like to get the pink card.

The Victoria Court Sticker Rate 

Victoria Court loves to innovate and always strives to be the first in introducing new ideas in the hospitality industry. Most of us know about the elite Black Card, Victoria Court's signature discount card that provides loyal guests a 20% discount on the room rates and 10% off on the food and beverage menu. The Marketing Team also followed up with the beloved Pink Card for the Ladies, giving them the right and power to choose. Empowering women to choose where they want to go. 

Now, Victoria Court is reinventing the discount card and came up with a new, cool, hip and faster way for the guest to enjoy the Black and Pink card benefits. The discounts now come with the Victoria Court Sticker. As long as you have the Victoria Court sticker at the rear window of your car, you can enjoy the 20% discount on all rooms and 10% discount on F&B items. If you plan to stay for 12 and 24 hours, you are entitled to a 5% discount too. 

Just drive and check-in at any Victoria Court Branch to get your free sticker and feel the distinction.

Arch Angel- GK Center for Arts and Culture from Victoria Court to Enchanted Farm

Any event will not be possible if there's no venue, whether it's big or small, a place where to gather people especially those in need and spend time together is very important. Only good people and with means can donate a more than 300 square meters floor area with my own estimate of less than Php 1M construction cost for an open building for Social Entrepreneurs.

"The Gawad Kalinga Arch Angel Center for Arts & Culture donated by Victoria Court"at Enchanted Farm, Bulacan under Gawad Kalinga was officially launched during the 1st Social Business Summit in the Philippines with over 7000 delegates from different countries and attended by no other than the Vice President of the Philippines VP Jejomar Binay, Senator Bam Aquino, Nikki Perlas, Tony Meloto and different representatives from the Local Government Units, Schools and Agencies.

Hotelier Archimedes Rosario King or simply Mr. Archie King or Archie to his friends, the honcho behind the successful Victoria Court graced the event and the one responsible in building the Arch-Angel Hall. According to him, when Tony Meloto, the founder of Gawad Kalinga asked him to fund the said hall for the Enchanted Farm for Social Entrepreneurs, he gives in right away, this is to help those people who were  in need of a place to venture, collaborate and launch their new projects. Enchanted Farm  is the first of its kind in Asia. This place is a unique ecosystem that provides a convergence platform for government, business, social entrepreneurs, innovators, scientists, farmers and community partners to work together in solidarity in creating solutions to global issues that affect all of us.

Somehow, the boyish, good looking Archie King made the hall possible. Everyone knows the Brand under the "King" of posh drive-in motels. Victoria Court with a logo depicting a classy but mysterious-looking lady in a hush-up motion, with a background of black and silver. that supposed to embody a secret, and it means that apart from quality and fast service, Victoria Court also offers Privacy, Courtesy, Prompt Service, World Class Facilities, State of the Art Housekeeping and affordable prices for everyone with class.

Truly the "King" could contribute more to help the Philippines, aside from this Multi Purpose Hall, they helped a lot of kids and into awareness of Reproductive Health.
