Dolores Tropicana Resort’s 10th Bikini Open

It’s summer in this part of the world and what better way to usher in the fun than to hold a Bikini Open, yes? GenSan’s finest hotel resort, Dolores Tropicana, did just that as it held its 10th Bikini Open last April 18.

Davao blog guru Blogie Robillo and Doc blogger Jim Haw were invited as judges by GenSan’s premiere summer destination. Having developed a special affinity for the Tuna Capital of the Philippines since childhood, I made sure to tag along. Brendel, Chattee and Angel were also in tow.

Since this blog post is basically about superbods, I’ll stop blabbering now and let you enjoy these sexy bikini shots.

Thanks to Dolores Hotel and Dolores Tropicana Resort for hosting our stay in GenSan. Special thanks to Bariles Republic‘s Avel Manasala for his unwavering hospitality.

You see, plurkfiestas of the GenSan variety aren’t just your
