Sinderela At Ang Gintong Sapatilya

Lipa Actors Company has been showcasing great shows since 2008 and with LTN Productions, it recently gave a musical production as part of their 8th season- 2017 Marangal.

Sinderela At Ang Gintong Sapatilya is an adaptation of the well-loved fairy tale, Cinderella. Many can narrate how the story of this princess goes but this locale version is surprisingly different. We specially love the colorful lightings and stage plus the very majestic wardrobe. Of course the music leaves you a syndrome.

The show revolves around the values of contentment, family orientedness, love, and honesty. It was first shown at Batangas Convention Center and recently at Canossa Academy- Lipa.

Turning to its decade of theater presence; truly a pride of Lipa as it continually promotes arts and positive values- We congratulate LIPA ACTORS COMPANY!

Catch their upcoming show! RECTO ISKOOL OF RAK is a contemporary play inspired by the works of Claro M. Recto fused with rock music in between acts. This is not a musical nor your typical play, its Rak-Dula, a mashed-up of rock culture and its construct, its deconstruct and versa, to create an entirely different theater experience- DECEMBER 2017.

24 Hours Stores in Lipa

Aside from the usual 7 11, Ministop, and now the growing Alfamart convenient stores; Lipa City has several restaurants to choose from when the night is over.

Shakey's in Ayala, Army Navy, Mc Donalds (Ayala, La Salle, Recto, Cathedral), Yellow Cab in Ayala, Taza Mia Coffee in Ayala, and Jollibee (Ayala and Levitown) are among restaurants available 24 hours a day in Lipa City. After night party people and employees working in grave yard shift are mostly the target of the extended hours.

The increasing number of 24 hours stores in Lipa is an indicator that the city has conquered Batangas in commercialism and lifestyle has changed. Lipa's private sector is consistently growing and active even after night.
