Filipinos are known as one of the happiest people's in the world, and for good reason. Almost all throughout the country, especially in the urban areas, the nightlife can rival the foreign Mardi gras, and in the Philippines, it happens every night.
In Metro Manila, it is practically office culture to go on a night out with friends and officemates after work hours for a drink or two, just to get the stress off one's system. Popular nightclub strips can be found in Malate, Manila, the district famous amongst partygoers and indie artists, musicians, and the like for decades now. A more recent playground for the certified gimikero/gimikera is the Fort Bonifacio (or just the Fort) in Taguig City, where most high-end clubs and bars are located. Amateur bands and performers also make use of these venues to gather popularity.
With the growing tourism, even beaches and commercial establishments around them now organize beach parties for the vacationers especially during the summer months of March to May which is the peak season for resorts and other getaways, one notable example is Boracay.
