I think this was the third opening of the branch in Robinsons Galeria, one opening and two reopenings. The first reopening was in 2013, which I was able to cover (Yoshinoya Robinsons Galleria Branch Reopening) and just this October was the recent. The only difference is that the first reopening was not graced by Miss Earth beauties.

Yup, the recent reopening of Yoshinoya Robinsons Galleria Branch was graced by this year candidates. Eight (8) beautiful ladies were present during the reopening ceremonies together with different executives of Yoshinoya and Robinsons Galleria. The lovely beauties are Miss Panama, Miss Venezuela, Miss Sweden, Miss Honduras, Miss Malaysia, Miss Curacao, Miss Greece and Miss Spain.

Aside from flaunting their beauties they were also asked to shared their advocacy to save Mother Earth during the mini fashion show.

Of course the ceremony wouldn't be complete without the signature dish of Yoshinoya, which the lovely Earth beauties and guests delightedly partake.
Also after the ceremony Yoshinoya opened the door for their happy customers who will take freebies and a once in a life time chance to take a selfie with the Miss Earth candidates.

One of the most innovative Proptech solution for buyers, sellers, brokers and developers, Housal.com, will be having its first exposition in the Philippines. Bringing and inviting all stakeholders in Realty and Construction to this very first exposition which will be on July 19 and 20, 2019 at SMX Mall of Asia.

Mr. Yogesh Mathur, CEO of Housal and creator of Envision 2019 gave a warm welcome and a short speech to the bloggers and media present during the conference. According to him "2018 marked the year of the launch of our innovative digital Real Estate platform, 2019 marks the next step towards bringing all stakeholders together."

So what is Envision 2019? It is the upcoming event created and formed by Housal to finally bring together all the prime stakeholders in Realty in one event. From developers to banks, from contractors to insurers and from brokers to buyers, this is where all the dots in Real Estate will be connected. This is one way of having the big picture by connecting potential clients and business partners.

Mr. Mathur expresses that "Real Estate and Construction in the Philippines are main contributors to the 77 quarters of uninterrupted growth in GDP. Although the economic outlook remains positive, more can be done to accelerate industry growth. To keep up with the demand of an ever growing population and all the challenges that come with it in terms of infrastructure and sustainability, more collaboration and better cooperation amongst stakeholders is key in moving forward, hence us organizing Envision 2019."
During the bloggers and media conference, few questions were asked to the organizers and one of the executives of Housal, Mr. Maarten Pennings happily and gladly delivered the responses to the queries.

To give a glimpse about Envision 2019, the two-day event offers two different settings. First there is the expo, which covers 140+ booths and is open to the general public, accommodating thousands of visitors. Free registration is already possible via the event website.

We all know that crypto-currencies are making its way in today's economy. As parts of the world are understanding it, the Filipino economic market is in for a spin because of the new player in the crypto-currency business, All By All (ABA). Just a few days ago the company has formally launched its crypto-currency.

During the grand event held February 24 at Cities Events Place at Sgt. Esguerra St., Q.C., You Won Il, President of ALL BY ALL (ABA) Philippines, introduced to members of the press, stakeholders and potential investors his cryptocurrency company, which is basically a monetary exchange platform.
You Won Il enthused: “ABA is the perfect solution for people who are looking for a seamless approach in using cryptocurrencies for their numerous online transactions”.

To start enjoying the convenience provided by ABA, one has to simply visit their website or app, then sign up. Once the form is completed, the user will receive an electronic wallet or account which they can ‘load’ with Philippine pesos. The electronic wallet can, then, be used for cryptocurrency transactions like online trading and commercial purchases, in lieu of credit cards and traditional currencies.

Some of the advantages of using ABA is that it is faster, ensures more secure transactions globally, and has lower fees. ABA is also now preparing for its Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and is also eyeing brisk expansion in other Asian hubs like Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong and Japan.

Aside from cryptocurrency, ABA will be getting into other businesses like travel and online gaming.

Today’s world is vastly different from what it was just a decade ago, causing anxiety among parents trying hard to provide their children a future full of possibilities. Technology, environmental changes, and lifestyle shifts have redefined the way people do and view things, so much so that today’s parents sometimes feel overwhelmed by the world their children are growing in.
Unlike a generation ago when school children often ate home-cooked meals and played games with neighbors, today’s children often consume fast food items while playing video games on their handhelds. Parks and outdoor spaces have been replaced by sprawling malls, while the ever increasing population has meant traffic congestion, pollution, and other urban challenges that did not exist or were not as bad ten years ago. As a result, many children have become couch potatoes with limited socialization opportunities. A number of growing kids struggle with issues such as obesity, socialization difficulties, attention problems, and the like.
Worse, there are factors that parents feel they could not do much about such as family health history, to name a few, which could potentially influence their children’s future.

Despite all these challenges, parents still possess the power to reshape the future of their children. With commitment, knowledge, and support, they can build a better future for their kids.
To guide parents in reshaping the future of their children, Nestlé NANKID is partnering with them in advancing Parentology+, an advocacy to help parents take charge of their future with simple steps that can be taken right at home. These day-to-day measures cover the different phases of life, such as diet and nutrition, exercise and activity, socialization, and creativity.

To launch Parentology+, Nestlé NANKID will be holding a series of events to bring the advocacy closer to parents across the country. The events will feature bloggers who are also parents, and who can share their experiences about different aspects of their parenting journey. Blogger Stephanie Zubiri-Crespi and Nestlé Nutritionist Ms. Aleli Magtibay will give insights on nutrition and diet. Football player Anton del Rosario will share how he got his son to embrace an active lifestyle and love sports. Entrepreneur and stylist Cat Arambulo-Antonio will speak on how she helped her children learn to socialize with their peers, and tidbits on how to stimulate their creativity and confidence.

Parentology+ recreates a typical home and its rooms. The space will consist of three stations touching on three important topics: Food, Physical Activity and Socialization-- fill your day with ways you can stay lean at the Foodie station and make sure to get that drool-worthy photo, jump into a ball pit at the Play station and play on a giant piano at the Social station, and so much more! Each station will be decked out to be Instagram-worthy for those who want to share their family bonding moments on social media so make sure to check it out!
To up the ante, a special keepsakes and lots of freebies will be given to the participants. And for added excitement, Nestlé NANKID will be giving away Instax SQ10 cameras to two lucky attendees in each run!
Parentology+ kicks off starting February 3 to 4 at the Activity Center in Trinoma Mall, which starts the Metro Manila run. To reach more parents, it will be followed by events in:

SM City Clark on February 10-11,
Abreeza Davao on March 3-4, and
SM City Cebu on March 17-18.

Don’t miss the opportunity to help reshape your children’s future. Visit www.facebook.com/NANKIDOPTIPRO for more details.

One of the most precious virtue of man, "giving". Few people value this character traits and good to know that Robinsons Supermarket is one of the initiator of this kind of activity with their Robinsons Supermarket "Give" Promo. It inspires people to share the wellness of giving.

With the belief that everyone has the capacity to give and of course to receive as well. The value of giving and receiving is the core value that inspires their shoppers to do the same. Though it was through a promo, still, giving is something to be proud of, especially when you know that the things you will give will surely help the needy.

The gift of health, as Robinsons Supermarket culminates its Route to Wellness campaign with its “Give” promo. The program aims to show people exciting ways to win prizes, get freebies, and share their blessings with other people. 

The Route to Wellness year-long campaign encourages Robinsons Supermarket customers to switch to a healthy lifestyle by providing nutritious food options to Filipino families through exciting and rewarding promos.
From November 1 to December 31, 2017, the Give Wellness promo will reward customers with a P100 off coupon when they spend P3000 worth of items inclusive of P500 worth of purchases from participating brands such as Enfagrow A+ Four, CDO, Selecta, Purefoods, Del Monte, Ceelin, Kojiesan, Promil Gold, Unilever, and P&G.
To officially kick-off the festivities, Robinsons Supermarket invited shoppers and their families to the “Give Wellness” event at the Eastwood Mall Open Park in Libis, Quezon City. McLisse graced the Event, that makes Patrons of Robinsons Supermarket enjoyed the program. McCoy De Leon and Elisse Joson or McLisse had fun during the games with their supporters and gave a few songs to thank Robinsons Shoppers.



Since giving should be taught to kids, our family was glad to be part of the kick-off of Robinsons Supermarket because our kids was able to learn the value of giving and at the same time enjoyed the activities.



Both our kids enjoyed the games offered in one of the booths. They also enjoyed creating their Cookie design and also the activity where they need to get gold and silver strips to be counted as part of the donations that Robinsons Supermarket will give.




We explained the game to our kids and the reason why they are going to do it. Right after that the kids were very eager to do it because they know the reason why. Our kids know that we were also foster children before that's why our family is very much close into this kind of activities. We know the feelings of being a foster child. This way we can impart to our kids the value of helping others.

Through the event’s polar express theme, participants had a merry time hopping onto a train ride full of games and prizes, activities and freebies. With the goal of giving back to the community, they took part in a game where they collected golden balls with corresponding values to help Robinsons Supermarket reach its P100,000 worth of donations to World Vision, a Christian, relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice.

The “Give Wellness” event will travel to Novaliches from Nov. 10-12, Canlubang, Laguna from Nov. 17-19, and Gen. Trias, Cavite from Nov. 24-26 to enable people to discover and share the gift of health and wellness to others.
