G-Box ' para ebribadi hapi '

With the advent of G-Box, the oft-said line “everybody happy” has become more than just a worn out phrase usually uttered by 'beered-out' alcholics.

G-Box, located at the 3rd floor of Robinsons Place Iloilo, is at the forefront of entertainment.

Found in its 2,000 square meter play area is the widest array of modern video arcade machines, kiddie rides, and videoke machines for those who want to flex their voice boxes and make it known to the world that “...I did it my way.”

G-Box is the one-stop shop for everybody's entertainment needs.

As Andy Arevalo, G-Box's Managing Director said: “G-box aims to change the landscape of entertainment and leisure centers in the Philippines!”

The people behind G-Box: (L-R) Dollie Bufi, Robinson's Recreation Center Manager, Ditas Taleon, Mall Manager, RLC Andy Arevalo, G-Box Managing Director, Steven Hau, Director of Operations and Joseph Albania.

The numbers seem to back him up. There are over 250 assorted video arcade machines, redemption games, kiddie rides, simulation games, 11 state-of-the-art videoki rooms, 10 personal computers, two center stage areas, and a redemption booth which offers the widest selection of merchandise items.

This means that while junior is having a grand time in the kiddie rides, dear father is also belting out his favorite tunes minus the chaos of a beer pub cum videokihan.

Kiddie rides come in different shapes: those of animals and objects like small airplanes, cars and boats; and they simulate sounds and noises that would delight children.

Redemption booths have it all-from remote controlled (RC) cars and boats, stuffed toys, cellular phones to home appliances.

Teenagers and those too old to be riding kiddie rides can play PC games and slug it out via networking.

G-Box's videoke machines contain the latest-and the greatest also-songs. And what's more, those who sing a bit off tune can now sing all they can without that deadly stare from other people. There are 11 enclosed and sound-proofed rooms for those who don't want other people to hear them singing (or is it croaking?).

For the show-off types of singers, they can now sing while basking in glory in any of the two centerstages.

See, it's entertainment for all ages.

“G-box is definitely for every member of the family, young and old alike. And this is just the beginning of the fun,” Arevalo stressed. “More attractions are underway with the arrival of bigger rides such as the all-time child favorite carousel, bump cars, among others. It is the aspiration of G-Box to provide everyone with the most affordable amusement center in the Philippines and to become a household name in terms of Family entertainment centers. We are truly dedicated and committed in realizing this dream and to ultimately make this dream our legacy for everyone.”

G-box is definitely a standout, With the diversity of its games, rides, entertainment and leisure amenities, G-Box has truly redefined the pursuit of fun and enjoyment and made it a larger-than-life experience.
