San Miguel Corp.’s “Oktoberfest” began a month early in Manila, but Pinoys proved that it was well worth it, breaking 2 Guinness world records.
Filipino beer lovers trooped to Ortigas Friday night where free beer were offered as 200 bars were set up from San Miguel Avenue to St. Francis in Mandaluyong City.
They beat two records. The first one, the longest beer bar in the world, measuring at around 600 meters, 360 meters longer than Guinness record-holder Taiwan.
The second one, the most number of people simultaneously toasting for a beer event, about 15,000 people, beating the previous record of 13,000.
Aside from free beers, thousands of Friday’s “beer troopers” were also treated to a free concert where at least 40 rock bands play. The main feature alternative rock band Third Eye Blind.
“Sobrang espesyal ng gabing ito dahil lahat ng magkakaibigan magkakasama ngayon dito para magsaya dahil sasali tayo sa Guinness World record at may tampok pa na foreign band,” said Assie Carpio, San Miguel Corp. Brand Manager.

Pinoy Wonder Blog would like to feature Manny Pacquiao for the first post since we believe that Manny known by many Filipinos or Pinoys as the “Pambansang Kamao” and popularly known to the United States of America as Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao has proven to the whole world his great talents in the sports of boxing and also known in his skills in acting and artistry in music. He has already set a Philippine record in his boxing career when he won by defending his title with his recent fight with Oscar “the golden boy” De La Hoya last year during their welterweight fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena December 6, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Like Pacquiao, we are still looking for more Pinoy wonders who can set new world records and let them be known in the whole wide world.
