Fathers often wear many hats in the family. They’re the family’s driver, weekend tour guide, biggest cheerleader, and trusted source of advice. Whether it’s a quick errand trip across town, a family road trip, or a simple day out together, many of life’s most memorable journeys begin with Dad behind the wheel.
This Father’s Day, families across Manila, Cebu and Bacolod are finding new ways to celebrate the fathers and father figures who help keep them moving every day. Recognizing the important role fathers play both at home and in their communities, global mobility platform inDrive has partnered with hospitality brands Citadines and lyf to create a series of experiences that bring families together through shared interests, meaningful connections, and memorable journeys.
“At inDrive, we believe every journey has a story behind it, and many of those stories begin with the sacrifices and dedications of fathers,” said Sofia Guinto, inDrive Philippines Country Manager. “Through this partnership with Citadines and lyf, we hope to create moments that bring families closer while celebrating the fathers and father figures who keep our community moving.” she added.
The celebration begins in Manila on June 20 with a Father’s Day Basketball Game at lyf Malate Manila. Much like fathers who serve as their family’s everyday coaches and biggest supporters, the game highlights teamwork, resilience and the relationships built both on and off the court. Supported by inDrive through co-branded jerseys, the friendly tournament brings together long-stay guests and team members for an afternoon of connection and community.
The festivities continue on June 21 in Cebu with the “Driven by Legacy” Father’s Day Car Show at lyf Cebu City and Citadines Cebu. Cars often become part of a family’s story— from school drop-offs to weekend road trips. Bringing together car enthusiasts and their loved ones, the event celebrates the journeys, memories and traditions that fathers help create through every ride. Winners will also receive custom-designed trophies courtesy of inDrive.
Also taking place on June 21, families can join a Father’s Day social media contest hosted by Citadines Bacolod, where winners will enjoy a special dining experience at the property. The initiative offers a simple reminder that sometimes the most meaningful celebrations happen around the table, surrounded by the people who matter most.
For families looking to turn Father’s Day into a weekend adventure, Manila, Cebu and Bacolod offer countless routes to more meaningful experiences. In Metro Manila, a day out can include exploring the historic streets of Intramuros, visiting the National Museum or catching the sunset along Manila Bay before unwinding at lyf Malate Manila. In Cebu, heritage landmarks, scenic viewpoints and local culinary favorites await, with Citadines Cebu and lyf Cebu City serving as convenient starting points for the journey.
Meanwhile, Bacolod invites visitors to slow down and savor its laid-back charm, from exploring The Ruins to discovering the city’s beloved food scene before resting at Citadines Bacolod. Wherever the destination may be, inDrive helps make every journey more seamless, allowing families to focus on what truly matters—sharing quality time and creating unforgettable moments with Dad.
Whether it’s a weekend getaway, a family meal or a day spent exploring the city, inDrive, Citadines and lyf invite everyone to celebrate the fathers and father figures whose love, hard work, and quiet sacrifices continue to shape the lives of those around them.
After all, this Father’s Day, the journey shared with loved ones is just as meaningful as the destination.
