The party – cleverly named #DeoSyxty – was celebrated in style with family and friends dressed to the nines while they feasted over a lavish Chinese banquet. They also shared little-known details and heartwarming anecdotes about the well-loved CEO, including his passion for learning more about his craft, as well as improving the self-esteem and instilling confidence in every Filipina through color cosmetics.     
Max Collins and Pancho Magno

Making the luncheon even more memorable was the announcement of Deo’s second daughter, Denice’s engagement to Jacob Munez. Their upcoming nuptial is slated for February 2018.

Invest in the South for a smart, future-proof office property

Addressing this need is the 32-storey Parkway Corporate Center, the first office condominium under the WorkSpaces by Filinvest banner that offers investors pre-selling office units for sale in a dynamic environment. 

Recent reports from international broker firms indicate that as of the fourth quarter of 2016, demand for office space in Metro Manila has remained strong.  While developments are largely concentrated in other parts of the National Capital Region, Alabang remains a highly attractive location, owing to its proximity to the progressive CALABARZON and adjacent communities teeming with talents for the labor pool.

Soon to rise at Filinvest City in Alabang, the premier CBD in the South, Parkway Corporate Center is positioned at a prime address that is conveniently located and is accessible – both to private and public transportation as well as its proximity to the Festival Mall Alabang. Filinvest City is a thriving, fully-integrated, and self-contained 244-hectare metropolis that harmonizes modern conveniences with nature – a genuine work-live-play environment that brings together a residential haven, a business central, a leisure destination, learning and education zones, and a medical and wellness hub. It is fast reinforcing its stature as the ultimate green city – sustainable, pedestrian friendly, and eco-centric. 

As a future-ready premium office tower, Parkway Corporate Center offers intelligent space planning and modern building facilities such as six high speed elevators, 24-hour security with CCTV cameras in strategic areas, 100% back-up power, and an advanced fiber optic backbone. Additionally, Parkway Corporate Center’s glass curtain wall is double-glazed with a low-e coating that prevents heat and UV radiation, resulting in cost and energy efficiency.

Designed by H1 Architecture and Design, recognized as one of the top ten architectural firms in the country today, the state-of-the-art Parkway Corporate Center comes with units averaging 36 square meters in size, allowing for flexibility and combinability depending on the need, which is perfect for boutique companies and SMEs averaging six to 30 employees.  Companies in need of bigger spaces have the option of taking whole floors allowing for even greater flexibility.

For investors, Parkway Corporate Center presents a unique opportunity to own an office unit and is an excellent investment, one that is sure to appreciate over time. Plus, being a pre-selling project, you can acquire a unit at a lower purchase price with term payments. This allows you to prudently manage your investment costs for maximum returns.

And once Parkway Corporate Center is complete, with a target date of 2019, you can enjoy steady leasing income and even higher returns – a sure return of investment! For small-to-medium enterprises, meanwhile, Parkway Corporate Center allows you to have an office of your own in a sleek, modern structure – a future landmark – that’s situated in a prestigious address.

So for individuals looking to expand their property portfolio, or for companies in need of a future-ready office space, take a look at Parkway Corporate Center at Filinvest City.

KID’S FAIR 2017: “Bright! Right From The Start”

The brightest event for our little ones is here. Kid’s Fair 2017: “Bright! Right From The Start” kicks off on April 21 - 23, 2017 (Friday to Sunday) from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM at SM Megatrade Hall 1, Mandaluyong City.

Kids Fair PH event, "Bright! Right From The Start", an annual event that aims to help each child discover and further hone their minds and skills through fun and entertaining activities.

On a deeper level, Kids Fair would like to promote childhood development that fosters joy and happiness at home and in school, with the following key points in mind: Happy, optimistic children are the product of happy, optimistic homes. Create a movement that creates a happier generation of kids today for a brighter tomorrow. What can parents, guardians, and teachers do to create a home/environment where the child's happiness will flourish?

From the moment they set foot in the fair, the fun begins – filled with delightful servings of games that stimulate creativity, sports-manship, and problem-solving skills. 

Play and win prizes at game booths; listen to book reading sessions or discover new books to take home; try an art craft session and bring out the artist within; join several exciting workshops that enhances skills and imagination; and explore a bounty of booths from toys, books and sports – to fashion, candies, and cakes. But wait – this chock-full of fun fair is not just for kids.

Unlike a regular adult class, a Kids Yoga class is a mix of quiet, noisy, active and relaxing activities.
Kids learn yoga poses, simple breathing exercises, and meditation through creative and imaginative storytelling, fun yoga games, singing, dancing, and partner / group poses. Kids yoga is anything BUT boring. It's a FUN, CREATIVE and PLAYFUL way of practicing yoga.

Parents don’t have to watch on the sidelines. You’re in it too. Moms, dads, grandparents, and guardians are definitely in the mix – it’s a family affair. KID’S FAIR actively involves the whole family by helping them learn to provide the proper learning path so kids get the necessary motivation and guidance, a solid foundation that propels them to a better future with careers that give them purpose and a lifestyle of holistic well-being. 
@isha.purpleheiress She'll have her Meet and Greet with her fans!

A healthy mind needs a healthy body, so the Doctors are in at the KID’S FAIR too. Stop by the Child Check-up lounge and get medical and health advice from reputable Child Psychologists. What’s more, you may want to try the “Left-brain, Right-brain Dominance Assessment” and find out if your child is either analytical or creative – or maybe even both – an expert in child psychology will be there to guide you.

KID’S FAIR aims to promote proper childhood development that fosters joy and harmony at home and in school. We believe that happy, optimistic children are the product of happy, optimistic homes.

She left New York almost eleven years ago to make a life in Manila, Philippines with her husband Nino and their then three children. No stranger to working with children and adults with IDD, she volunteered all throughout her high school and college career in ARC while she was still living in Orange County, NY. She even pursued her yoga certification later in Manila as a yoga teacher for children and adults of all abilities. Get to know more this Mommy blogger at Kids Fair PH.

URATEX Premium Mattress a sound sleep to nurture life

Now, you can have better sleep, better morning with the Sleep Specialist.

Your ideal mattress is now a reality with the popular local foam manufacturer Uratex. Their keywords are "comfort" and "support".

Uratex Premium, offers an extensive lineup high quality and innovative products that could provide the  perfect sleep solutions that could cater to specific needs. Uratex Premium has the first in the market and smart innovation, the Orthocare Biorhythmic which helps in the reduction of stress from pressure points during sleep. They also have the Senso Memory Ultima Plus that is infused with hydragel beads that  allows a refreshingly cooler sleep. Their Premium Touch Romance awakens the senses for a more rewarding evening for couples. And lastly, the Perfect Serenity Aura Fresh keeps the sleeping ambiance fresh and odor free.

Sleep is currently one of the easiest thing to give up by a lot of hardworking individuals. They would rather work late hours and finish the task that is required from them and miss on hours to no sleep at all. This could affect one’s health, as those who are getting less sleep could suffer from stroke, heart failure, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and other chronic illnesses. On the other hand, people suffering from insomnia are most likely to manifest symptoms of anxiety and depression, which can ultimately affect their performance and their relationships. In short, when sleep fails, health declines along with the quality of life.
Dr. Marco Escareal as engaged our guests to some of his wellness workshop.

As the country’s, Sleep Specialist, Uratex takes it as a responsibility to promote sound sleep among Filipinos with their lineup of innovative and technology-rich products that could equip people with the  sleep comfort that they desire. Uratex also celebrates World Sleep Day (WSD) by strengthening its  campaigns in spreading awareness among fellow Filipinos that good, healthful, and superior sleep is  always needed in recharging their bodies, after a whole day of doing stressful and strenuous activities. Because Uratex believes that whenever an individual gets a good night sleep, they could have a good day ahead, and in the long run, a good life.
Dr.  Keith Romeo Aguilera shares the benefits of good sleep.

The WSD celebrations has been gathering some momentum around the world and has reached many people who are challenged with issues related to sleep, brought about by stressful habits and unhealthy work lifestyles. This activity by the World Sleep Society was spearheaded by the World Association of Sleep Medicine and World Sleep Federation. WSD aims to promote sleep health worldwide, and this year marks its 10th year. “Sleep Soundly, Nurture Life” is this year’s theme for WSD, which focuses on how better sleep could give people and their bodies a chance to nurture and recover itself from stress, and ultimately nurture their lives.

World sleep day hosted by Uratex.

As WSD spreads its reach across the islands of the Philippines, Uratex believes that their sleep solutions would be at the forefront of promoting overall health and wellness. They hope that with their  continuous effort in spreading the message of WSD, more Filipinos would see the benefits of sleeping soundly in nurturing not just their own lives, but also lives of their families as well.
