VIA GRAPHIC PLUS — The Grand Circle, the exclusive VIP club of NUSTAR Online and its partner platforms, brought its members to one of Manila’s most anticipated Halloween celebrations, Mond Gutierrez’s fifth annual The New Nocturnals.
As a major sponsor, The Grand Circle treated NUSTAR Online VIP members and their companions to a three-day luxury experience at The Peninsula Manila, culminating in an evening celebrating cinema, fashion, and fantasy on October 29.
The VIP experience went beyond the Halloween celebration itself. Members and their companions enjoyed a stay at The Peninsula Manila and dining experiences at premium restaurants, while VIP members received complimentary glam and styling services for the Halloween party. Embracing the “Silver Screen” theme, they arrived in character-inspired looks, including Edward Scissorhands, Maleficent, Dracula, vampires, and the Joker.
The Grand Circle also brought exclusive touches to the celebration, with macarons for attendees and curated chocolate giveaways for its VIP members. The evening featured opening remarks from Ashleigh Rye and Raymond, alongside performances by Marina Summers and special recognitions. Lovi Poe, who came dressed as Pennywise, received The Grand Choice Award, taking home PHP 40,000 worth of prizes, while Samantha Panlilio, dressed as Genie, received The New Nocturnals Award.
“Through The Grand Circle, we want our NUSTAR Online VIPs to experience more than exclusive rewards and privileges. We want them to enjoy extraordinary celebrations, discover new experiences, and create memorable moments that reflect how much we value their loyalty,” said Alexander Barcela, Senior Brand Manager of The Grand Circle.
Meanwhile, NUSTAR Online also supported its endorser Andrea Brillantes as she hosted her first-ever Halloween party, Lucky Beauty’s “Dark Romance: Till Death Do Us Prom.” The celebration gathered personalities including Janine Berdin, Awra Briguela, JK, Dia Mate, and drag performers, with Brillantes opening the evening through a special performance. The event also featured the launch of select Lucky Beauty products. Through these celebrations, NUSTAR Online continues to bring its brand into the worlds of entertainment, fashion, and lifestyle. Even before its official launch, The Grand Circle’s participation in New Nocturnals offered a glimpse of its commitment to making loyalty more meaningful through exclusive privileges and memorable experiences.
