OMG, missed seeing this in person!!!
Feeling homesick after seeing/reading this. I so miss Filipino Christmas parties.
Have a fabulous Christmas Mr. MM and family and crew.
Greetings to the Market Manila virtual community, too.
Just awesome MM. Merry christmas to your family and to the whole Zubuchon/Pigafetta gang!
Merry Christmas Mr. MM and family! And also to your wonderful crew. God bless!
Was looking for a video. I bet it was a riot.
Merry Christmas MM, to you and your family and the crew.
Looks like everyone had fun! Merry Christmas to you and your family MM !
Awesome! Merry Christmas MM, family and Crew..
We really miss your post mm… it’s worth the wait…
For 20k, no wonder they put a lot of effort into it. I work in a multinational company and even visiting foreign co-workers are fielded in for a simple dance or song number for our company Christmas party. They’re game about it too.
Btw MM, it’s spelled Miley Cyrus, not Mylie. :)
ami, thanks, will edit… you can tell I am of a different generation altogether… :)
For a second there I thought it was a RANT about Pinoy Christmas parties, hahaha. Fabulous!! A “blond wig I bought in New York in Thanksgiving” is real prep and foresight!
Merry Christmas!
Great job!!! In awe at your staff’s dedication in and out of the restaurant. I felt a bit of a panic when the old password didn’t work. Then I saw the prior post and figured it out. Whew!
I’m sure it was a great christmas party! I will put my all too for the 20K tag prize! Merry Christmas to you all :)
MM,
Longtime follower here.
Care to share the last photo in full (not cropped)? Bitin eh :-)
Merry Christmas!
Sasha
Such great fun !!! It will be hard to top this next year. Merry Christmas to MM, family, crew, staff, and the Market Manila community.
(whew, I got into the post – confused my movies – star wars and James …..)
Awesome, MM. Merry Christmas to your families (your real family and the Zubuchon one)!
kudos to you MM for joining in on the performance! looks like it was a hell of a party.
happy holidays to you and yours :)
This looks like SO much fun!
I think you have just topped your Gangnam Style number! I wish I could have seen this in person. I can imagine the cheers! :)
Merry Christmas MM, family and crew. hahaha, I can imagine the fun evening of your Christmas Party.
Merry Christmas to the Marketman and the Zubuchon family!
@Suzette, re password, me too!
@Suzette and @Riza, me three! I got so excited to see a protected post and bam! it didn’t open. Noooooo… Only when I searched “protected” that I saw MM’s previous post :-p
Yes! Got in without a glitch! Market Manila fan here. Haha. Great party MM!
This was AWESOME! :) Merry Christmas across the miles to you, Market Family and Market Crew.
Aww, so fun! I was smiling the whole time reading this. Merry Christmas to everyone!!
Sure beats ABS-CBN program ” Your Face Sounds Familiar”!
MM, you got not only creative and imaginative staff but smart ones too….a reflection of the leadership and the organization.
Merry Christmas to you all!
Oh, where did they find an outfit big enough for you? Did one of your staff get hold of one of Caitlin Jenner’s wardrobe collection to dress you up? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!
Connie C, I think the operative word was “stretch”… hahaha.
MM, looks like the crew could out perform any daytime variety show here…next job for you Producer..lol
What a fun fun show to end the year.. Merry Christmas to all!
This post made me smile… and yeah, made me wish that i’m also working for you, MM. Please hire me!!! hahaha! kidding. We had fun reading this and I bet you and your crew had so much more so.
Have a blessed Christmas to you, your family and crew!!
very nice…thanks for sharing. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Outrageous indeed, but a spectacle of skill and imagination. I shall give up people on their best behaviour for people at their best anytime.
Merry Christmas, Marketman, to your family and Zubuchon crew.
Wow! I’m working in a “world class, top performing” govt agency for more than 30 years now and not once did the top prize for our Departnent’s annual Christmas party reach P5,000.00!
Merry Christmas MM and family!
Just chiming in to give my two thumbs up.
Merry Christmas! Must be one craaazy party!
Ha!ha!ha! Did you wear heels? Happy holidays!
Awesome, thank you for sharing! I think Filipino men are the most gutsy performers anywhere, straight or not!
Betchay, thank goodness finding size 12 heels was a near impossibility in Cebu, so I just donned stockings an went barefoot!
what an awesome Christmas party! Happy holidays to you, MM and the rest of your family and staff
Videos, please, MM! Merry, merry Christmas to your family and your staff!
Merry Christmas to your family and crew!
A fetching foray into “Don we now our gay apparel.” I wonder if it was all the Wheaties the former Bruce Jenner ate that triggered the gradual gender pole reversal.
I was smiling from ear to ear reading this post…and can only imagine how that last pic looks full shot – I tried tilting my Ipad :-) ..or maybe I can bribe you with some lumpia :-) …Merry Christmas to you MM and family and to your fabulous crew….
@Footloose …hahahaha on your comment ….was in stitches
Merry Christmas to you, your family and staff! What a wonderful party!
i was smiling while reading this. first because i got the password and 2nd because the last part of your post was awesome! Merry Christmas MM! God bless you
Thank you for sharing photos of your FUNtastic Christmas party!
Merry Christmas MM and family! Love, love, love!
Spectre-tacular! May the porks be with you!
I love it!!! It’s great to see here the commenters from many years ago. I started reading this blog in 2007. Too bad I backed out from the Cebu eyeball in 2009 at the last minute. Merry Christmas to you and your family, Marketman! :)
Awesome Christmas party you had there. Bet everyone had lots of fun. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I wish I can attend one of your future Christmas parties, even just to sponsor some of the prizes. :)
You truly are an inspiring chairman, and should be a role model to others. Your employees adore you, no doubt for giving back to them what they truly deserve. Taking a big hit for closing all branches on the busiest season of the year. Remarkable and Outstanding leadership.
Anyway, a Merry Christmas to you and the family. Regards to Mrs. MM and MM daughter.
What happened to the first 50 comments…?!? I have no idea…
Hi MM!
I don’t exactly know how it works, but tried copying the pattern from other wordpress sites and was able to view previous comments through the link below.
Wish there was a video post too! Merry Christmas MM family and staff!
Oh, ho ho ho! What a fun time you all had! I’m glad I was able to “get in”.
Happy holidays MM Mrs. MM and the Daughter.

Happy Holidays to the whole Market Manila family!
