Wholesome addition to Cebu’s nightlife, ‘Slogos’ celebrates 10 years

Cebu City prides itself as a thriving urban escapade that doesn’t lose touch of its soul as a dynamic natural environment. Time here runs slower when compared to other bustling global cities. That said, as some locals are capable of rocking wild parties and thrilling adventures, the attraction to chilling out is just as powerful.

In October 2012, Slogos Night was born. It was a weekly event that answered the need for a fun night with friends without burning a whole through one’s pockets or driving far away to a beach or mountain resort.

“When my friend Rachel Arandilla asked me if I wanted to host a trivia game, I could not say yes fast enough. We instantly became partners and we were there during its formative years,” shared founder and organizer Apollo Noel Santos.

Slogos Night was started in a cafe and aimed to provide people with a unique and fun experience through a game of trivia.

“Slogos is a combination of the words ‘slogans’ and ‘logos’ which are staple categories in our trivia games. Eventually, we added more topics to the mix and used different types of executions in presenting the questions like visual quizzes, audio rounds etc.,” explained Santos.

“In 2016, I created a team who can help me manage the games as it was also the year where we started getting a lot of partnerships from different establishments and brands.”

Ten years in the business is a testament to the service Slogos Night presents weekly for Cebuanos. As the game is free and open to everyone, Slogos Night has transformed itself from being a competition into becoming a community who share the same love for trivia.

“I honestly never thought that we would make it this far. We owe it all to everyone who never stopped supporting us, to all our venue partners, the brands and companies who gave us the opportunity to bring the Slogos Night experience to more people,” he added.

Cebuanos can join Slogos Night at The Tavern every Tuesday, 8:30 p.m. The event moves to Chamber KTV in Ayala Center Cebu on Wednesday at 8 p.m. Every Friday, it hosts a game at Handuraw Pizza Mango that starts at 7:30 p.m. Lastly, there’s a monthly round of Slogos Night at AyalaMalls Central Bloc which happens either on the second or fourth week of the month.

Prizes vary during every event. Slogos Night winners sometimes take home F&B vouchers, gift certificates or cash prizes. More importantly, they get a week’s worth of bragging rights.
