Belle De Jour's Freedom to Dream

Shangri-La Plaza in cooperation with Viviamo! Inc. makers of the Belle de Jour Power Planner headed by Darlyn Ty-Nilo, President of Viviamo!, collaborated to organize the first Freedom to Dream Summit at the Red Carpet with an exciting roster of speakers. 

Panel of speakers during the Q & A were Doc Gia Sison, Gretchen Ho and Rezza Soriano

The summit was indeed very timely as most women need self-love and self care in order for them to see their self worth. It was nice that there are groups such as these that initiates these three important things that women nowadays would oftentimes tend to forget. 

Dr. Gia Sison, a mental health advocate

I actually had a speaking engagement that same day from my alma mater where I was given the chance to share my experience working after I graduated from college. But I couldn't let this opportunity pass by, I'd love to see my favorite Twitter icon Doc Gia Sison in person. Dr. Gia Sison, a mental health advocate was one of the distinguished guest speakers for the first talk called "Raising Self Worth," with life coach Rezza Custodio Soriano and Gretchen Ho, TV host and lifestyle news anchor. 

The next session was about Ïgniting your Passion" which encourages people to fin their purpose and to do their best in order to achieve them. The saud talk featured Prim Paypon of The Dream Project PH along with Aimee Hashim of LoveLuxe Trading Inc. 

PATAK: A Benefit Show will be launching Patrick Donald Teng Foundation

Press release:

PATAK, a benefit show to launch the Patrick Donald Teng Foundation is slated to happen this Saturday, October 21 at the Henry Lee Irwin Theater, Ateneo de Manila University at 6:00PM

Patrick Donald Teng had an amazing vision in life. He dreamt of becoming a neuro surgeon and took up medicine at the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health. Not known to his own family, he supported charities while attending college and at the same time, offered much of his time doing volunteer work for different organizations and one of them was Hearts at Play.

Patrick was also an active member of The Company of Ateneo Dancers and was President of the Ateneo Medicine Dance Group. He brought joy to a lot of children through dance and even encouraged many of his group members to offer their time to make these children happy.

Unfortunately, all his amazing efforts had to take a side step when diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme, a rare type of brain cancer, which ended his dream of being a doctor. Despite his condition, his contagious positive outlook in life remained and Patrick continued his volunteer work even while in a wheelchair. He bravely fought for his recovery, but sadly, time dictated that he had to leave everything behind to join our Creator – gone too soon at the age of 25.
