adobo Magazine gathered some of the Philippines’ most respected marketeers in October for an evening of mouth-watering comfort food, free-flowing refreshments, and light-hearted conversations at Fable Café + Lounge in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
Set against Fable’s surreal enchanted forest-themed, Alice-in-Wonderland-inspired interiors as reimagined by Kenneth Cobonpue and hosted by adobo Magazine President, Founder, and Editor-in-Chief Angel Guerrero, the intimate dinner was a rare opportunity for the guests to trade ideas, share experiences, and simply get to know each other—and for some, to reconnect.

Conversations revolved around anything from shared experiences as former colleagues to industry-specific revelations. The more serious discussions centered on the challenges of growing brands in an ever-evolving and ultimately challenging business landscape, and on how to manage such challenges to survive and thrive—in the business of creativity. All this, while enjoying Fable’s sumptuous gastronomic masterpieces.
Good food, great conversations

As the bubbly flowed and the atmosphere grew more relaxed, the room filled with laughter, warmth, and easy familiarity that could stem only from genuine connections. It was a lovely reminder that the most memorable gatherings are often made not just by good food and flowing drinks, but by the people and stories that make them come alive.
The evening closed with new connections forged, old ones rekindled, and a shared hope that the relationships built—around the table and beyond it—continue and grow.
