Eastwood Richmonde Hotel: Relax, connect, and feel at home

The Eastwood Richmonde Hotel offers a perfect staycation to unwind and bond with your loved ones.

 

My family and I spent a weekend recently at Eastwood Richmonde Hotel. We enjoyed our bonding moments with our daughter, Bea, before she returned to school after a few months of vacation. Indeed, family is where the heart is.

Cinemalaya XX Pays Tribute To Filipino Cinema Legends

The Philippines lost many of its beloved filmmamers, actors, production crew, and cinematic champions in recent years. In its 20th year, the Cinemalaya pays tribute to Filipino film stalwarts who helped shape the landscape of Philippine cinema industry through the decades.

This year, Cinemalaya Tributes puts the spotlight on director Armando Lao, actress Jaclyn Jose, National Artist Fernando Poe Jr. and fim curator-archivist Teddy Co.

These individuals have accomplished many greats and made extensive impact during their lifetime, served as inspirations to new breed of filmmakers, and initiated conversations on truthful storytelling through their works.

An awarded and revered Filipino screenwriter, Lao wrote remarkable films such as Takaw-Tukso, Itanong mo sa Buwan, and Oras-Oras, Araw Araw. Beyond his screenwriting career, he founded the “found story” school of filmmaking over 40 years ago.

Jose was one of the most respected film actresses of the Philippines during her time. She made a name for herself and became the first Filipino actress to win the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival for her portrayal in Ma’Rosa.

Known as “Da King” in the industry, Poe Jr. was not only an actor but also a writer, director and producer. He made approximately 300 movies in his 48-year career. He was known for his films such as Only the Brave Know Hell, Santiago!, and Adesillo.

A curator and archivist, Co worked hard in preserving the PH’s artistic heritage through film preservation and archiving. He also founded Cinema Rehiyon, one of the flagship projects of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) aims to highlight and mainstream regional filmmaking.

Join Cinemalaya 20 to honor these individuals with special screenings of their works.

To pay tribute to Lao and Jose, Brilliante Mendoza’s Ma’Rosa will be screened on August 8 at 8:30pm, at Ayala Malls Manila Bay Cinema 2. The film is about a well-liked small convenience store owner in a poor neighborhood of Manila and her struggles leading her resort in selling drugs.

Celso Ad Castillo’s Asedillo, a biopic first shown back in 1971, is a tribute film to Fernando Poe Jr. This film showcases the story of Teodoro Asedillo, the terror of Sierra Madre. Set in San Antonio, San Pedro, Laguna, Asedillo is an idealistic school teacher who became a revolutionary leader against the American Commonwealth government. Catch the film on August 9, 1pm, at the Metropolitan Theater.

Tribute to Co centers on short films, which he championed throughout his career. A selection of Cinemalaya short films – City of Flowers by Xeph Suarez, Duwa-Duwa by Nena Jane Achacoso, Mga Hundas Nga Nasulat Sa Baras by Richard Jeroui Salvadico and Arlie Sweet Sumagaysay, See You George by Mark Moneda, and Si Oddie by Maria Kydylee Torato – will return to the big screen on August 7, 1pm, at Metropolitan Theater.

A story about a couple’s attempt to survive the dip in their flower farm business, City of Flowers by Xeph Suarez and Alemberg Ang is a story about how this couple tries to push through their struggles for the birth of their first-born child. Set in Zamboanga City during the Feast of the Nativity of Mary, the couple was given an opportunity to solve all their problems that were too good to pass up.

Nena Jane Achacoso’s Duwa-duwa is a film about a runaway daughter who comes home for anything but reuniting with her mother. Because of her need for money to support an operation, the daughter comes back home to steal from her mother.

Set in the time of the COVID Pandemic, Mga Hundas nga Nasulat sa Baras is a story about three boys who became teachers to their parents. This film by Arlie Sweet Sumagasaysay and Richard Jeroui Salvadico depicts how parents become teachers to their children, and how children become teachers to their parents as well.

See you, George by Mark Moneda is a film about a group of hospital workers who take a trip down memory lane. Because they wanted to commemorate the life of one of their colleagues who died, they gathered together to celebrate their memories but it turned dark and haunting.

To make ends meet with his mother’s medical needs, the fictional story of this delivery rider is shown in Maria Kydylee Torato’s Si Oddie. Since we are living in an add-to-cart era, Torato’s film shows the audiences the important role of delivery riders in our lives.

This year’s Cinemalaya will run from August 2 to 11 at Ayala Malls by the Bay.

Toki: A Space for Collectors, by Collectors

As demand for community-based platforms increase, Toki has been able to establish itself as the first and leading social commerce platform for collectibles in the Philippines. A platform “for collectors, by collectors,” Toki was built to address the pain points of every collector, redefining the marketplace by offering safe and secure features to transact and interact with community members.

Since it launched in November 2023, Toki has onboarded 70,000 users, authenticated over 100,000 items (including more than 35,000 sneakers), and hosted more than 500 auctions.

“We are thrilled with the overwhelming response from the collector community,” said   Frederic Levy, Toki’s CEO and Co-founder. “Our goal has always been to create a trusted and engaging platform where collectors can connect, transact, and share their passion. The rapid growth and positive feedback we’ve received reaffirm our commitment to continuously improve and expand our offerings to meet the evolving needs of our users.”

Ensuring authenticity in the collectors’ buying journey has been Toki’s core mission. By implementing rigorous screening for sellers and a stringent verification process for every item sold, Toki guarantees the security of each transaction. This unwavering dedication aims to foster user confidence and uphold the digital marketplace’s credibility, allowing collectors to buy and sell with complete peace of mind.

“As collectors, it’s crucial for us to have confidence in the sellers we engage with on the platform,” emphasized Zoe Ocampo, Toki’s Co-founder and Chief Product Officer. “As we onboard new sellers, we prioritize expanding into new categories where our trusted sellers can immediately begin listing their unique offerings. This approach not only enriches our community’s experience but also ensures we maintain the highest standards of quality and authenticity.”

In a recent gathering with media, Toki’s founders – Frederic Levy, Zoe Ocampo, and Jules Jurado – who are former GCash executives and avid collectors themselves, also revealed its plans to eventually complement its digital proposition with retail locations, providing a full O2O (online-to-offline) experience for users.

Building on its strong foundation, the move towards an O2O integration aims to allow collectors to engage with the platform holistically, bridging the gap between online convenience and the thrill of in-person discovery.

“Beyond revolutionizing the collectors’ journey, Toki is carving a path where each item tells a story, and every transaction fosters a deeper connection within our vibrant community,” concluded Levy. “Our journey from being digital-first to blending physical presence marks the next chapter in redefining how collectors can enjoy their passion, both online and offline.”

Enhanced Government-Private Sector Collaboration Highlighted at MICECON 2024, SMX Convention Center Clark

MICECON 2024, the premier meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) conference in the Philippines, concluded successfully at the SMX Convention Center Clark Pampanga from July 10-12, 2024. This prestigious event brought together industry leaders, stakeholders, and experts to discuss and strategize the future of the MICE industry in the country.

SMX Convention Center Clark served as the official venue partner for MICECON 2024, reinforcing its status as a key player in the country’s burgeoning MICE sector. The event featured insightful sessions, networking opportunities, and exhibitions that showcased the latest trends and innovations in the MICE industry.

SMX Convention Center Clark hosted the Philippine MICE Conference after 10 years with the theme M.I.C.E. XD: XPERIENCE DIVERSIFIED.

The MICE industry in the Philippines is on a path to recovery and growth, driven by the country’s strategic location, rich cultural heritage, and robust government support. Major cities like Manila, Cebu, and Davao have become popular destinations for international conferences and exhibitions. The construction of new convention centers and hotels, along with the expansion of existing ones, underscores the industry’s potential. High-profile events, such as the ASEAN Summit and various international trade fairs, have highlighted the Philippines as a capable host for large-scale events.

In a press conference, Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Christina Frasco emphasized the importance of infrastructure in promoting the Philippines as a top MICE destination. “One of the greatest challenges in bringing tourists, delegates, and travelers to conventions is infrastructure. And that is why our president has directed collaborations and convergences among our fellow government agencies to vastly improve infrastructure and connectivity,” Secretary Frasco stated.

SMX Convention Centers are at the forefront of this growth, with a strong commitment to supporting and preparing the country as a leading MICE destination. SMX Convention Center currently operates eight branches nationwide, namely SMX Manila, Megatrade Hall, SMX Aura, SMX Clark, SMX Olongapo, SMX Bacolod, Sky Hall Seaside Cebu, and SMX Davao.

Further expanding its footprint, SMX is set to open the SMX Convention Center Cebu in South Road Properties, Cebu City, by the fourth quarter of 2026. This new facility will boast a gross floor area of 40,879.40 square meters and a gross leasable area of 24,212.74 square meters.

SMX Convention Center Cebu (Seaside City).

“The success of MICECON 2024 at SMX Convention Center Clark demonstrates our commitment to support and collaborate with the government’s initiatives in elevating the MICE industry in the Philippines,” said Michael Albaña, Vice President – General Manager of SMX Convention Center. “We are dedicated to providing world-class facilities and services that meet the evolving needs of our clients and partners.”

With these developments, SMX Convention Centers are poised to enhance the Philippines’ capacity to host world-class events, solidifying its reputation as a premier MICE destination in Southeast Asia.

Journey Through Cebu: History, Culture, and Natural Marvels

Discover the rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking natural marvels of Cebu.

 

Are you looking for an amazing travel destination this year? Experience the beauty of Cebu, one of the country’s most stunning provinces!

Cebu is one of the most sought-after places in the Philippines. It is home to rich culture, history, breathtaking sights, and friendly locals. The province of Cebu has six cities and 44 municipalities to explore. It is located at the center of the Visayas region and consists of a main island and 167 surrounding islands.

Cebu City nicknamed the Queen City of the South, is the capital city with a population of about 900,000 Cebuanos. Cebu is renowned for its food, particularly the famous Cebu lechon. This dish consists of a pig stuffed with herbs and spices, skewered on a bamboo pole, and then roasted to perfection over hot charcoal. The Cebu lechon is said to be more flavorful and crispier than versions found elsewhere in the country, making it a must-try.

Temple of Leah

Cebu is well-known for its rich history and boasts several famous landmarks such as Magellan’s Cross, Fort San Pedro, and the Basilica del Santo Nino. In addition to historical sites, Cebu offers a variety of tourist attractions. One of these attractions is the Temple of Leah, often referred to as the “Taj Mahal of Cebu.” It was constructed in 2012 by Teodorico Adarna in honor of his late wife, Leah Albino-Adarna. The temple features a 10-foot-high statue of Leah in the lobby, serving as a reminder of her husband’s enduring love. The complex includes 24 different chambers, including a library, an art gallery, and a museum.

 

Sirao Flower Garden

If you have a passion for exploring and admiring the beauty of nature, a trip to the Sirao Flower Garden is an absolute must. Located in Barangay Sirao, this garden is known as the “Little Amsterdam of Cebu” due to its vibrant and meticulously arranged blooms. One of its standout features is the red and yellow celosia flowers, which resemble flames. Interestingly, the name “Celosia” is derived from the Greek word ‘kelos,’ meaning burning, reflecting its fiery appearance.

Sirao Garden is often described as an ‘Instagrammable’ place. It features various picture-perfect spots, including the famous giant hand with a breathtaking view of the mountains in the background, and Dutch-inspired windmills that provide a great backdrop to the enchanting blooms of Sirao.

 

Ka-Tilong Sunflower Farm

Ka-Tilong Sunflower Farm is another beautiful flower destination in Cebu, much like the Sirao Gardens. The farm covers a 2,000 sqm. area filled with vibrant sunflowers and colorful ornamental plants that are sure to capture your attention. This popular attraction is situated just a few kilometers from Sirao Gardens and is definitely worth a visit.

 

10,000 LED-powered roses

After a long day of exploring, you might want to enjoy a cup of coffee while admiring the 10,000 LED-powered roses at the 10,000 Roses Cafe & More. This Korean-inspired cafe is one of the most famous places to visit in Cebu City. The picturesque place is perfect for taking photos or simply enjoying your favorite coffee and admiring the view. It’s best to visit at night as the roses are illuminated, giving the place an enchanting, glowing look.

 

Whether capturing memories in picturesque locations or savoring local delicacies, Cebu guarantees an unforgettable journey for every explorer.

Embark on an exhilarating adventure in Cebu, where every moment promises a picture-perfect experience.

Advancing Language Development in Pre-School Children  through Proper Nutrition

A mother’s concern over her child’s language difficulties goes beyond the surface level. Given the pivotal role of communication as the medium by which children learn when they are at school, she understands that issues such as speech delay and limited communication skills may impede optimal brain development.

Knowing the concern that surrounds our mom, Wyeth Nutrition® through the Promil Gold® Gifted Talks, gathered an esteemed panel to discuss the value of language as the cornerstone of learning. Panelists included Wyeth Nutrition® Neurocognition Research’s Head, Jonathan O’ Regan, Global Marketing Manager of Wyeth Nutrition®, Jocelyn Lacida, and pre-school educator and school owner, Teacher Rosanne Araneta. They underscored the importance of language development in early childhood, weighing on the scientific fact that strong communication skills equip children with cognitive abilities necessary to excel in pre-school and in life.

The talk reminded parents that they must understand the pivotal role of language as a medium by which children learn, making it crucial to address this early on.

Teacher Rosanne Araneta highlighted the concerning state of education among Filipino children, as revealed by the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). The study showed that Filipino students are among the world’s weakest in math, reading, and science, with recent test scores showing no significant improvement since 2018. She stressed that early language development is essential to reversing this trend, noting that simple exercises at home such as creating a reading nook, listening to music and audiobooks, journal writing, and asking open-ended questions to get them to speak up more may significantly improve communication skills.

Jocelyn Lacida added that beyond learning tools, proper nutrition is vital for brain development. Promil Gold®, Wyeth Nutrition’s most advanced formula, stands out as the only milk brand on the market with clinically-proven Alpha-lipids that support language development. As the new school year approaches, providing children with Promil Gold® can give them the nutritional foundation they need to thrive in school and beyond. The brand’s commitment to advancing a gifted brain is encapsulated in Wyeth Nutrition’s Neurocognition Research mantra: “Advance a gifted brain, advance a gifted kid.”

Lacida then introduced the keynote speaker, Wyeth’s Head of Research, Jonathan O’Regan, who talked about how Wyeth Nutrition continues to innovate through years and years of clinical research, set the gold standard in the industry – giving each generation, today and in the future, the highest quality products. This discussion highlighted the neurocognition research that clinically-proven Alpha-lipids in Promil Gold® can help unlock a child’s full potential for a brighter future.

In today’s world, the things that we do link back to how we interact, communicate, and respond to our environment, and all this starts with language development. Promil Gold® is an indispensable ally that continues to champion stronger language foundations in children’s growth and development by providing the clinically proven nutrients that support language and cognitive skills.

Advance a gifted brain, advance a gifted kid now with Promil Gold®.

Promil Gold ® is not a breastmilk substitute but a growing up milk specially suited for kids 3 years old and beyond. Breastfeeding should continue for as long as possible.
