Café Ilang-Ilang Serves Delectable Kurobuta Pork Dishes

 

The Manila Hotel's famed Cafe Ilang-Ilang launches a variety of exquisite meals utilizing the remarkable quality and flavor of local Kurobuta pork from Esguerra Farms. Kurobuta stems from a Japanese name meaning "black pig." Renowned for its profuse marbling, suppleness, and rich flavor profile, Kurobuta pork is sometimes referred to as the "Wagyu of pork."

"We are excited to elevate the buffet spread of Café Ilang-Ilang with the produce of Esguerra Farms," says Konrad Walter, Executive Chef at The Manila Hotel. Esguerra Farms in Lipa, Batangas, is committed to using sustainable and ethical farming practices that prioritize animal care and environmental conservation.

The pigs are grown in a safe, hygienic, and stress-free environment thanks to the farm's own Kurobuta Village. The pigs are sheltered, fed, and pampered, resulting in a higher pH level that allows for maximum marbling, retention of natural flavor, and healthier meat color.

Don’t let high blood pressure get you down

 

Based on a recent study by the Philippine Heart Association, high blood pressure is living up to its reputation as a silent killer as it is the fifth cause of death among Filipinos from research made by the Philippine Statistics Authority in June 2022. According to the said report, hypertension among Pinoys rose by 37% in 2021. That’s the highest it’s ever been since 1992.

High blood pressure (BP), once thought to be a condition of the elderly, has recently been found in at least 5% of Filipino youth aged 12 to 18. The more shocking finding was that hypertensive adults and adolescents, regardless of age, had the same profile: a higher BMI, waist measurement, and central obesity rate.

The Best Wedding Flowers for Every Season

 

Every bride knows flowers are an important part of any wedding day. Tying together the bride, groom, and wedding party, as well as the wedding and reception venues, the flowers you choose for your special day can say a lot about you as a couple – especially about your taste and style.

Neutral tones are a classic choice that won’t date in photographs and that complement many themes, making them a popular option for brides all year round. These flowers are always in demand with a Somerset luxury wedding florist and can provide the wow factor for your wedding day.

Top Choices for Spring Weddings

A wedding florist in Somerset notes that many popular spring flowers are naturally neutral, such as delicate snowdrops and lily of the valley, while other seasonal favourites such as daffodils are available in muted shades. Pink Champagne has a soft peachy tone whereas the multiheaded Erlicheer bring a hint of lemon to a bouquet, along with a heady fragrance which can add to your special day. Tulips are another wonderful choice for a spring wedding with Maureen a timeless bloom with the classic fluted shape. Brides wishing to add a splash of bold colour might opt for the Danceline variety, which is cream with a kiss of cerise.

Top Choices for Summer Weddings

Summer weddings are still the most popular choice, and with so many flowers at their best throughout the summer months, it’s easy to see why. White roses are ideal for the minimalist summer bride, especially as they traditionally symbolise loyalty, purity and innocence – perfect for the fresh start of a wedding day – or opt for blousy peonies to make a statement. A wonderfully opulent luxury wedding florist Somerset brides will adore! Freesias and gypsophelia can create a soft summer look, giving a relaxed vibe ideal for country weddings or low-key ceremonies.

Project Hulmahan Art Exhibit at The Manila Hotel

 

Project Hulmahan is now on exhibit at the Grand Lobby of The Manila Hotel

Project Hulmahan will be on display at The Manila Hotel's Grand Lobby and Art Gallery from May 8 to May 20. The art exhibit includes sculptures, paintings, and mixed media pieces created with shoe molds by both established and rising artists who share a desire for assisting others via their art.

"We looked for volunteer artists by publicly posting on Facebook who were willing to paint or make any kind of art out of hulmahan [shoe molds] that are no longer being used because the pandemic hit the struggling shoe industry in Marikina, the Shoe Capital of the Philippines," Bernardo explains. Hundreds of artists from all across the Philippines responded positively to the appeal for volunteers. Rachy Cuna, creative consultant at The Manila Hotel, National Artists Maestro Ryan Cayabyab, Kidlat Tahimik, sculptors Pete Jimenez and Jonathan Dangue, Julie Lluch-Dalena, and actor Dolly De Leon are among the artists whose works are on display in Project Hulmahan.

Zena Bernardo, a member of Ladies Who Launch (LWL) and one of the co-founders of Bayanihang Marikenyo at Marikenya, created Project Hulmahan. Ms. Bernardo visited with shuttered shoe manufacturers in Marikina, and their group purchased about 500 pairs of shoe molds with the purpose of repurposing them into artworks to raise funding for community-based activities.

Pag-aalay by Rachy Cuna

"It is fitting for The Manila Hotel to collaborate with inspiring ladies, as the Grand Dame celebrates women, especially mothers, in the month of May," says Marvin Kim Tan, The Manila Hotel's Director of Sales & Marketing. Ladies Who Launch is a four-woman team led by Zena Bernardo (mother of Ana Patricia 'Patreng' of the renowned Maginhawa community pantry), Dolly De Leon, internationally recognized actress Judith Albano, and Jasmine Ong. They established the communal kitchen, which benefited many people during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Have a healthy, happy smile with the new Glister oral care solution

 

Your smile says a lot about who you are. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), dental health is critical to long-term welfare and quality of life. It's an often-overlooked fact that the mouth is a gateway to general wellness. It's where both nourishment and sickness enter the body, thus it needs special attention. Keeping your mouth, teeth, and oral microbiome healthy is essential for feeling safe. Having a healthy and joyful grin is also vital for developing self-confidence since it allows you to engage with others without feeling awkward or hesitant.

This is why practicing good oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing every day, is essential for keeping our mouths (and smiles) healthy. Good dental hygiene can also assist to prevent problems such as cavities and gum disease. and bad breath by balancing the bacteria in our mouths and keeping the harmful ones in check. Without a consistent daily regimen, dental issues are more likely to contribute to more serious health issues, problems associated to cardiovascular and respiratory health.

Glister, the popular dental care brand of entrepreneur-led health and wellness company Amway, is advocating a 3-Step Oral Care System that’s designed to gently clean teeth, freshen breath, and keep gums healthy—all without disrupting the delicate oral microbiome.

The first step to this oral care system is Glister Multi-Action Toothpaste, the top selling Amway product for the past 25 years. It can gently and effectively prevent cavities, remove plaque, and reduce staining on teeth enamel for a whiter, brighter smile. Like all the other Glister formulas, this toothpaste boasts of plant- and naturally derived ingredients, including natural silica that gently polishes teeth and traceable Nutrilite-grown peppermint—a significant step the brand takes to ensure each product is safe and effective.

It also includes Reminact technology, which helps remineralize vital minerals back onto the enamel, strengthening the teeth and making them more resistant to decay. Glister toothpaste also contains just the correct quantity of fluoride to counteract the demineralization effect of acid generated in plaque on the teeth and protect them further from cavities. To ensure everyone's comfort, It is also free of alcohol, parabens, and animal-derived substances.

Glister Multi-Action Toothbrush in soft and medium bristles is available to supplement this phase. Each is designed with an in-mold technique that allows for a thinner head, allowing for greater flexibility,  more effective cleaning of hard-to-reach spots and with an integrated tongue/cheek cleaner.

How Flower Bouquets Alter with the Seasons

 

Flowers have their seasons. This is obvious when we look at flower shops in Bristol, which change their bouquets for special occasions. This is not only because certain flowers in Bristol are only available at specific times of the year; flowers also have symbolism and a bouquet in spring for a wedding will differ from nuptial blooms in autumn. We take a look Bristol flowers and how these change every season for weddings and funerals — two of the key times for calling on a Bristol flower shop.

Spring Bouquets

Many florists in Bristol can add more colour and variety to their bouquets in spring. Some of the most popular spring wedding flowers are grape hyacinths, anemones, narcissus, daffodils, hyacinths, gardenia, jasmine, roses, and tulips. Lily of the Valley is a top choice of many brides. When planning a spring wedding, ask the local flower shop Gloucester Road about matching flowers to your colour scheme.

White lilies are favoured by flower shops Bristol for funerals. This flower signifies sympathy. Other choices are white and yellow roses and they represent respect and love.

The grand celebration was held last April 13, 2023 at The Tent, Vista Global South, Las Piñas City, as Camella and Vista Estates honored the achievements of their business partners from the entire One Luzon Team for the year 2022. The night was filled with entertainment as lively production numbers were presented by The Whiplash Dancers. Aliw awardee for Best Inspirational Singer, Sheena Lee Palad, who was also the event host, gave a compelling performance that thrilled the audience. The spectacular night became more special as Vista Land’s Chairman, Manny B. Villiar, Jr., delivered an inspiring keynote address to the audiences, business partners, and stakeholders here and abroad.

Apart from recognizing the outstanding efforts of its sales force, the event served as a call to action and inspire individuals to welcome new challenges, learn, and breach walls to embrace greater opportunities. The awardees embodied the event's theme by going beyond and finding a way to sail through the unforeseen hindrances they encountered.

Grab The Marketplace’s Pure Imagineocean eco-bag

 

Gone are the days when people used to take plastic bags for their everyday shopping. People are now getting aware of how plastic bags harm the environment and wildlife. I live in Quezon City where in 2012, they established the city ordinance regulating the use of plastic bags and establishing an environmental fee for its use known as the "Plastic Bag Reduction Ordinance."

Single-use plastic is one of the primary contributors to the environment's rapid degradation. It has been disposed of indiscriminately in environmentally sensitive sites such as streams and landfills, among others, despite having virtually no recyclable purposes. The biggest concern in Quezon City was the carelessly dumped plastic bags. While they represented a missed chance to recover, reuse, and recycle plastic, they also negatively influenced the city's waste stream, leading to various environmental nuisances.

Since summer is here and the ocean, as well as the beach, are calling us out. Recycle Now’s Julie Brown once said: “Summer is one of the busier times of year for waste collection services, particularly for metal cans, plastic and glass bottles, and garden waste, it becomes the season of waste." The unpredictable weather means many people leave their grocery planning and shopping to the last minute, but hurried menu planning, last-minute choices, and worries about providing enough for everyone to eat can lead to over catering and increased waste. While it’s tempting to pack disposable products, buying reusable ones could save you money which you can enjoy spending on extra treats. The disposable way of life also costs more in the end, with both bank balances and the environment taking the strain.

Sadly, plastic bags are being thrown into the ocean

The Marketplace's Pure Imagineocean eco-bag helps preserve the Philippine seas from plastic pollution by allowing you to carry everything you need! These bags provide a clean, safe, and eco-friendly alternative to plastic bags. The Marketplace's Pure Imagineocean eco bags reduce the need for single-use plastic bags, which have been shown to harm the environment. Plastic bags, which are made of petroleum, contribute to the extraction of fossil resources. They also pose a significant disposal issue. Plastic bags take generations to degrade in nature, burning them emits harmful chemicals, and plastic rubbish hurts a variety of marine animals in the oceans.

Purple Plum Fairy with her The Marketplace Pure Imagineocean eco bag

Personally, I like having a reliable eco bag with me rather than single-use plastic bags. They are more durable aside from somehow doing my part in helping save Mother Earth. This is also why upon learning about this initiative from The Marketplace, I immediately got my own bag. Shopping for my household needs had never been this nice! Plus, I got to shop for our favorite Woolworth Australia's well-loved brands. Talk about hitting two birds with one stone. 😉

In collaboration with Save Philippine Seas, help us conserve the Philippine Seas and make conservation initiatives a reality. From March 2 through May 13, 2023, get a Pure Imagineocean environmental bag for P199 (regularly P279) with a minimum purchase of P1,500 and P500 worth of eligible items. This item is available at all The Marketplace locations!

The spacious eco bags encourages responsible and safe shopping. It is not just a sustainable bag but it is large enough to carry your entire day's worth of shopping. It also means you’re also able to save discarded plastic bags from a waste landfill.
