Launched in May 2024 the Marriott Bonvoy on Wheels (MBOW) Caravan revved up for its second run on 18 May 2025 in Metro Manila with Sheraton Manila Hotel and Manila Marriot Hotel, culminating in a hearty brunch at Cru Steakhouse, Manila Marriott Hotel. The annual celebration also served as a venue for the officers of the Riders Association of Triumph (RAT) – Philippines to officially announce its recent incorporation as a non-stock, non-profit corporation, after nearly two decades of being formed with just four members, now with over 300 members nationwide.
Over 40 riders from the RAT – Philippines joined the Sunday morning ride, embodying the spirit of adventure and shared passion for the road. The event was powered by Marriott Bonvoy, the global lifestyle loyalty program that connects members to over 8,900 hotels across 138 countries.
“This caravan is a celebration of shared journeys,” said Melvyn Angeles, Resident Manager of Manila Marriott Hotel. “Through Marriott Bonvoy and our partnership with RAT Philippines, we bring together a community driven by passion, loyalty, and the love of travel.”
The gathering also marked the culmination of Mother’s Month, honoring the “Women of Wonder and Travels”, and served as a kickoff for Father’s Month this June—saluting all “Men of Steel and Wheels”.
“Sheraton Manila has always been about signature moments,” said Anna-Liza Vergara, General Manager of Sheraton Manila Hotel. “From meaningful stays to memorable events like this, we’re proud to create experiences that resonate deeply with our guests—moments that define what it means to be part of our Sheraton Signatures.”
As part of the Father’s Month celebration, Manila Marriott Hotel invites families to honor Dad with a lineup of indulgent treats—from a Father’s Day special buffet at Marriott Café, to limited-edition baked gifts from Marriott Café Bakery, and a Grilled Tomahawk Feast Package perfect for at-home celebrations. Meanwhile, Sheraton Manila Hotel celebrates Father’s Day with a bountiful buffet spread at S Kitchen, designed to satisfy big appetites and bigger hearts.
