Dads are different; they can be funny sometimes.
Generally not as vocal about telling their families – devoted wives included – about how much they care, they resort to other means of communicating the love that’s definitely there, albeit obscured in fatherly awkwardness.
Sometimes they surprise you with the new gadget you’ve ogled countless times on Sunday window shopping, and other times, they gently offer to be your personal chauffeur for this weekend’s party to save you (and your outfit) the hassles of commuting.
Don’t expect hugs, kisses and displays of TLC from them, but know that you can always count on dad to be dependable, even in his silence.
Don’t wait for him to speak up; make the first move and show him how much he means to you this Father’s Day with Novotel’s guaranteed dad-friendly activities this June.

Start by getting him season passes for the UEFA playoffs to be aired live at The 6th – Novotel’s Pool Bar and Lounge. Score goals from June 10-12 with the experience that also features European bar chow that comes complete with hearty snacks and beers (think German fried pork knuckle, meaty sliders and imported beers!).
If dad’s into the classics, then he should definitely visit Food Exchange Manila where it’ll be a fiesta for the whole family with Pinoy favorites like caldereta, kare-kare and lechon alongside international selections for more adventurous palates, also from June 10-12.
You can also help dad out with his attempts at romance with mom and suggest the Novotel + Araneta Center package that gives them a hotel stay with tickets of their choice to the coming Brian McKnight (June 17-18) and Culture Club (June 20) concerts this month.
But if dad’s finally ready to let loose and let the entire brood know that he really does love them, then the overnight family package that’s full of freebies and discounts for the love of his life and the kids will surely hit home.
