Enchanted Kingdom Turns Over 10th and 11th Brigada Eskwela Classroom

Enchanted Kingdom, the first and only world-class theme park in the Philippines, turned over its 10th and 11th adopted classrooms to Southville Elementary School, Santa Rosa, on July 26. Two (2) Kindergarten classrooms were adopted for improvement in support of the 2024 Brigada Eskwela of the Department of Education (DepEd).

The Brigada Eskwela is a nationwide school maintenance program that engages all education stakeholders to contribute their time, efforts, and resources to ensure all public schools are set up in time for class opening. This year’s theme is once again “Bayanihan Para sa Matatag na Paaralan.”

This is the 10th year that EK is supporting the said program in fulfilment of the theme park’s advocacy of promoting a fun, unique, and healthy learning environment for students. EK’s very own maintenance personnel and visual artists repaired, upgraded and repainted the turned-over classrooms.

Mr. Mario O. Mamon, Chairman and CEO of Enchanted Kingdom, reaffirmed EK’s steadfast support for DepEd’s Balik Eskwela program and expressed his desire to expand the reach of EK’s initiative beyond the city of Santa Rosa as well as the province of Laguna.

“What we have been doing here at Brigada Eskwela is more than just repainting walls. We are bringing the magical experience of Enchanted Kingdom to our dear students through our colorful murals. And of course, we have decorated the walls with our five core values that we would like to impart to them while they are still young,” he added.

Mr. Mamon furthered that he is glad to have the opportunity to share EK’s core values of love of God, respect, integrity, loyalty and innovativeness to the students, and encourage them to put it into practice.

The turnover ceremony was graced by no less than Santa Rosa City Vice Mayor Arnold Arcillas, as well as Southville Elementary School Head Teacher II Maria Marlene Furio, DepEd Santa Rosa Senior Education Program Specialist Jayson Sagaysay, Cluster III Public Schools District Supervisor (PSDS) Soledad Baylon, School Parent-Teacher Association (SPTA) President Aileen Cielos, Barangay Caingin Captain Edwin Servo, teachers, parents, and students.

Its membership includes prominent businesses, consultants, and individuals from over a hundred different countries, and it includes all the major players in the industry, like Disney, Universal Parks, and Enchanted Kingdom.

This accolade strengthens our resolve to become the premier Asia-Pacific destination for integrated attractions. Mr. Cesar Mario O. Mamon, Chairman and President of EK, shared that as the company prepares to celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2025, it is dedicated to providing guests with new, exciting, and innovative attractions and experiences. Its goal is to further solidify its position as the leading Philippine attraction for healthy family entertainment and the country’s first world-class theme park.

“Eldar’s Specialty Shoppe” is EK’s official entry, and it’s the main store where you may find Eldar the Wizard, EK’s own friendly and knowledgeable resident wizard. “This delicate jewel of a shoppe infused a lot of elements, arousing the interest of deeply curious millennials, the incredibly tech-savvy Gen Zs, and all other guests across various generations,” remarked Ms. Cherina S.

Enchanted Kingdom Reopens Go-Kart Race Track, Launches Cadet Karts For Kids

Feel the rush of adrenaline with the whole gang at the more EKciting Fun Kart!

Enchanted Kingdom, the first and only world-class theme park in the Philippines, reopened its 800-meter go-kart race track, featuring brand new karts for kids and adults alike.

The reopening ceremony, which happened on February 25, was led by EK President and CEO Mario O. Mamon and Yokohama Tires Philippines Vice President Vivienne Cruz. Father and son racing champions Carlos and Iñigo Anton, and international race car driver Marlon Stockinger exhibited their driving skills at the EK Fun Kart. Carlos’ eight-year-old son, Alonzo Anton, tested the cadet kart for eight to 12-year-old drivers.

“To make the ride more inclusive, EK added four cadet karts for the younger members of the family to enjoy,” Mr. Mamon shared. “We also have 12 brand new single-seaters and five two-seater karts. EK also added a new lap-timing system for more fun and friendly competition,” he added.

International race car driver Marlon Stockinger shared that he was here when EK Fun Kart first opened in 2003. “It gave me a lot of experiences, a lot of good teachings towards my racing career. I think it’s a good place to hone your skills as a driver. So, whether you want to enjoy or bring your family – or if you want to take racing seriously eventually, this is a great training ground,” he said.

The Fun Kart, which closed for five months due to the renovation period, boasts an enhanced building and new paint markings. It also features new tire barriers in partnership with world-class tire company Yokohama Tires Philippines.

“We are glad to partner with Yokohama Tires Philippines, who are aligned with EK’s priority to ensure the safety of our guests and deliver a seamless and magical experience here at the park,” Mr. Mamon added.

The Fun Kart is open from Wednesdays to Sundays, from 12:00 PM until the park closes. Single-seater karts can be availed of for Php 800, Php 950 for two-seater karts, and Php 650 for the cadet carts.
