00:00The Capsule Hotel in Cebu City is now open to the public, where the Filipino culture is felt.
00:07Meanwhile, tourists are slowly arriving in the city for the Sinulog Festival.
00:12This is what Jesse Atienza of PTVU Cebu reported.
00:19The theme of this Capsule Hotel is very Filipino,
00:22because of the house-like concept of their double-deck bed for the guests who want to check in.
00:29According to the owner of the Capsule Hotel,
00:31they aim to make the Filipino culture more visible, especially to the tourists.
00:37Of course, we have it like this, not just to remind our fellow Filipinos,
00:42but also to encourage farmers to really immerse and understand our culture.
00:47Because it's one thing to see these museums,
00:50but it's a different thing if you immerse and understand the concept itself,
00:55by staying in a place like home.
00:58In addition to the management,
01:00they also took most of the materials used to make the beds from local farmers.
01:07The opening of the Capsule Hotel is on time,
01:09because of the continuous efforts of the locals of Mano, Baniaga in Cebu,
01:13to be happy in Sinulog.
01:15According to the Hotel, Resort, and Restaurant Association of Cebu Incorporated, or HRAC,
01:20they have a positive view of the profits of hotels and restaurants,
01:24especially to the tourists,
01:26and to be the backers for the Fiesta Senior this year.
