<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">WHILE BDO Unibank sees the global economy heading for more
moderate growth this year, it still makes sense to diversify into global
investments and seize opportunities in markets outside the Philippines for growth
over the long-term. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Through BDO's Global Feeder Funds, investors can gain access to
the US, China, Japan, European and global equity markets. The said Funds
started 2019 with very strong returns ranging from 12%-18% in dollar terms as
of end February 2019. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Based on fund performance figures published by www.uitf.com, the
BDO China Equity Feeder Fund landed the top spot for dollar-denominated global
equity funds with its 18.4% return since the start of 2019. The Fund feeds into
the BlackRock Global Funds (BGF) China Fund which is primarily invested in a
portfolio of equities and equity-related instruments of China-related companies
traded both onshore and offshore China. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">According to Fritz Ocampo, the chief investment officer of the BDO
Trust and Investments Group, the rally in the Chinese stock market this year is
due to improving sentiment toward China as its policy environment become more
supportive and concerns on the trade war has eased. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">BDO currently manages six US dollar-denominated global feeder
funds. All six funds found its way to the top 10 dollar-denominated equity
UITFs in the country, including its newly-launched fund, the BDO Global Equity
Index Feeder Fund at rank 3. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“We continue to expand the range of investment choices available
to our clients. We have lined up products for launch this year which hopefully
will attract client’s interest again in the UITFs which generally took a
beating last year due to weak markets,” said Rafael Ayuste, Jr., Trust Officer
of BDO. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With over PhP214 billion in assets under management
across 27 investment funds, BDO is currently the largest UITF provider in the
Philippines with a 37% market share. The
BDO Global Feeder Funds are available for a minimum investment of US$2,000
through the BDO network of more than 1,200 branches and via BDO Invest Online.</span></div>

As an effect of the promise of a strong economic climate, the general consumer mindset is now leaning towards prospects that allow them to wisely exercise their financial decisions.</div>
<div class="yiv5348981261MsoNormal" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441182376429_12153" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: justify;">
The real estate industry is one sector that is currently enjoying the perks of this shift thanks to the higher purchasing power of consumers. But how can we gauge financial readiness for such big purchases?</div>
<div class="yiv5348981261MsoNormal" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441182376429_12160" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: justify;">
“You have to make sure you have financial independence,” Wealth Management Expert Johner Fernandez advised during a short investment seminar hosted by premium property developer, Ovialand, Inc. “If you are earning enough to cover your daily needs and still have enough left to invest without short-changing yourself, then you are ready.”</div>
<div class="yiv5348981261MsoNormal" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441182376429_12157" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: justify;">
According to Fernandez, one common slip-up of people who are planning to buy their own house is mistaking saving and investing as similar concepts. While both are interrelated, the two are entirely different from each other.</div>
<div class="yiv5348981261MsoNormal" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" id="yiv5348981261yui_3_16_0_1_1441178264362_14819" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: justify;">
“Before you can finally buy your very own house, you have to keep away 10% of your regular monthly income for short-term savings and 10% for long-term savings. The money that you should use for your property should be on top of these,” Fernandez clarified.</div>
<div class="yiv5348981261MsoNormal" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441182376429_12156" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<b id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441182376429_12161">A promising venture</b></div>
<div class="yiv5348981261MsoNormal" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441182376429_12155" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: justify;">
Real estate is one of the most promising industries in the country at present. Especially with the call to decentralize Manila gaining traction because of its chronic problems, property developers are now actively eyeing other locations as possible new growth hubs.</div>
<div class="yiv5348981261MsoNormal" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441182376429_12154" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: justify;">
Fernandez shared, “It’s all about location. With efforts to distribute services and resources in Manila, the provinces near it are the ones most likely to receive its growth traffic.” He added, “You also have to consider the possible progress of the place. Think of Ortigas. Prices of properties there were very affordable before. Nobody would have thought it would grow into a business district.”</div>
<div class="yiv5348981261MsoNormal" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441182376429_12162" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: justify;">
Sto. Tomas, Batangas is among South Luzon’s provinces that have been showing significant progress. Supported by strong infrastructure and its competitive location, the once rural town is steadily transitioning into the next business and social hub with industrial parks, global companies, and lifestyle centers breaking ground on its soil.</div>
<div class="yiv5348981261MsoNormal" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441182376429_12163" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: justify;">
As a response, more and more property developers are eyeing the province to support the influx of people that comes with its growth.</div>
<div class="yiv5348981261MsoNormal" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: justify;">

<b id="yiv5348981261yui_3_16_0_1_1441178264362_14820">Real estate: A smart way of saving money</b></div>
<div class="yiv5348981261MsoNormal" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
Did you know that owning your own home is actually a financial move that can lead to more savings in the long run? Fatima Olivares-Vital, Business Unit Head of Ovialand, Inc. explained, “Renting may seem like a cheaper option at first, but it is still better to put your money in a property you can call your own.”</div>
<div class="yiv5348981261MsoNormal" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" id="yiv5348981261yui_3_16_0_1_1441178264362_15231" style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
She adds, <span id="yiv5348981261yui_3_16_0_1_1441178264362_15230">“It’s easy to lose track of your mundane expenses. Instead, you can invest the money for your possible mortgage payments. In 5-10 years, you will have something tangible, valuable and usable that can even be converted to cash!” </span></div>
<div class="yiv5348981261MsoNormal" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
Finding a developer that offers flexible transactions can make purchasing a home more manageable. For its maiden project Terrazza de Sto. Tomas, for example, Ovialand offers competitive packages and professional financing assistance to ensure that buyers are properly assisted during the whole process. In addition to having reliable partner banks and an in-house financing system, clients are also assigned their dedicated Account Officers who will coordinate all the details of the sale.</div>
<div class="yiv5348981261MsoNormal" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
Fernandez said, “This is where the credibility of the property builder comes in. You need to study the company, see how they work, and how they build houses.”</div>
<div class="yiv5348981261MsoNormal" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441182376429_12171" style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
He closes, “Buying a property should be viewed as a form of business partnership with your developer. To make the venture a success, you should look for the best partners.”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Love makes the world go round, and for people looking for it, or even couples who experience challenges in their relationship, Feng Shui has tips, cures and enhancers that can help you to attain your heart’s desires.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to Master Hanz Cua, Psychic and Feng Shui Master, the Northwest sector, in 2015 Flying Stars forecast, is the sector of romance. This is good news for singles, but married males should take heed. NE is the sector of the Father, there is strong inclination to stray into third party involvement. Politicians and other famous patriarch figures should beware of sex scandals in 2015.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For singles seeking love, you can energize NE sector of your home to increase your chances of romance success by:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Introduce enhancers like bright lights, Mandarin duck pair (one male and one female), Rose Quartz crystal, colors like pink, red, ivory and brown, a pair of romantic scented candles, or an image of the 2 peony flowers (the no. 1 flower of romance in Chinese tradition).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The element to activate for romance is Fire and Earth. Remove anything Metal (it exhausts Earth) and Water (it extinguishes Fire)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Avoid having in your bedroom: art or images that show solitary people, plants that have thorns, mobiles or metal chimes, stuffed animals or any toys (toys are for children’s rooms—not adults who are looking for a relationship), any kind of clutter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For Couples who want to improve their relationship:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Amethyst crystal on the side table next to the couple’s bed promotes fidelity. Carnelian promotes passion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A large rock crystal or stone statue in the romance sector will “nail down” a flighty or unstable relationship.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Place the image of the Double Happiness symbol above the bed’s headboard. This same symbol can also be embroidered on your bed cover and pillowcases.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For singles desperate to find love, Master Hanz suggests that you try: For every Friday during January (3, 10) and February (7, 21, 28) Place 4 long-stem red roses in the Northwest sector of your home to activate the Love star. </div>

Karlo Nograles: Meaningful change makes a nation<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

renewing possibility of change. He believes that every individual has the
resources within himself to change the course of his life. The Representative
from District 1 of Davao City understands that the greatest and most
significant societal changes begin with small, simple steps. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

as a congressman, Karlo trained his eyes on education, particularly on the
post-secondary level. “I just felt that government wasn’t paying enough
attention to kids after high school,” says Nograles. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ArialMT, sans-serif;">But for Karlo, it is not enough that the youth are educated
and have their families secured: they also have to play a role in community
transformation. In order to stress the importance of the youth and their
involvement in community service, Karlo has led some 5,000 scholars in various
community programs such as tree planting, coastal clean-ups, recycling, reading
and literature programs, and school feeding drives, among others. “Every person
has the capacity to serve the community, and the only way we can change the
world for the better is to help others and always pay it forward,” an admirable
life philosophy he continues to advocate from his training in the Ateneo and
the Jaycee movement. Now serving on his second term, Karlo is motivated to
cultivate the seeds planted by education, volunteerism, and civic-mindedness to
further fruition. Karlo is now committed to creating sustainable
community-based livelihood programs and employment opportunities, in line with
his current position as Chairman of the Committee on Labor and Employment at
the House of Representatives. </span></div>

all these job vacancies down to the impoverished communities, and together with

underestimate the power of a job; it allows people to provide for their needs

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><b>Manulife’s Investor Sentiment Index in Asia</b>
is a quarterly, proprietary survey measuring and tracking investors’ views
across eight markets in the region on their attitudes towards key asset classes
and related issues. The Index is calculated as a net score (% of “Very good
time” and “Good time” minus % of “Bad time” and “Very bad time”) for each asset
class. The overall index is calculated as an average of the index figures of
asset classes. A positive number means a positive sentiment, zero means a
neutral sentiment, and a negative number means negative sentiment.</span></div>

interviews in each market of Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Japan, and Singapore; in
Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines it is conducted face-to-face.
Respondents are middle class to affluent investors, aged 25 years and above who

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-PH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;">Did you know that the majority of Filipino
investors are satisfied with their
government pension – but that sentiment is based on specific assumptions and a
cash-dominant approach to retirement working out, according to the latest
Manulife Investor Sentiment Index.?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-PH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-PH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;">Two-thirds of respondents
said that they are confident that their government pension would be enough to meet their needs upon
retirement – the highest level of all surveyed markets. In contrast, across all
surveyed markets the proportion of confident investors was less than 40
percent, and as low as one-in-ten in some markets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-PH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-PH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;">While such optimism seems
positive, the survey shows it is based on some risky assumptions. First,
investors expect their retirement income to be relatively high, at 92% of their
current income – the highest estimate among all surveyed markets (Asia average
69%). Second, they expect their retirement expenses to be relatively low, at
just 61 percent of their current income, at the lower end of surveyed markets
(Asia average 66%). Third, nearly all (95%) said that in retirement they expect
to rely on private healthcare – by contrast, in every other market only a
minority expected to rely on private healthcare (Asia average 38%).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-PH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-PH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;">“Filipino investors have
high estimates of their retirement income. Even if these turn out to be right,
they may not be enough to cover their actual costs,” said Ryan Charland, CEO of
Manulife Philippines. “Today, people generally expect their retirement to be
active, and that means expenses will likely be much higher than what many
realize. In addition, healthcare tends to cost a lot more than people expect.
In Asia healthcare costs have risen about twice the rate of inflation over the
past 10 years. Of course, it’s even more expensive if you go private.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-PH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;">The survey highlights that
Filipino investors have a high degree of reliance on their government pension,
with only one in five owning an additional, private pension plan. Instead, many
expect to fall back on other, less assured, largely cash-forms of income,
notably savings (which they expect to make up 37% of their retirement income)
and inheritance (12% of their retirement income) – in both cases the highest
reliance of any surveyed markets. This cash-dominant approach to retirement is
reinforced by the finding that, on receiving their pension, Philippine
investors plan to deposit nearly half into the bank, the second-highest level
of all markets (Asia average 35%). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-PH; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-PH; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;">“We know that Filipino investors like to hold
cash and are among the most cash-heavy investors in Asia. The latest survey
shows us they also plan to be Asia’s most cash-reliant investors when retired,”
said Mr. Charland. “Keeping cash in the bank provides minimal returns, which
may not even keep up with inflation. Their retirement optimism would have a
sounder basis with a more balanced portfolio, especially given that retirement
today can last 30 years or more.”</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">As
the condominium boom shows no sign of abating, an alarming trend is becoming
noticeable: some of the high-rise towers being built are starting to look the
same. Perhaps, the real estate company has either consciously chosen to only
have one look across their developments or they tap the same architectural
group, whether in-house or not. The downside to this practice is that the
buildings become boring and interchangeable, pulling no element of surprise.
You see one and you see all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Land & Lifescapes which is acknowledged as the biggest homebuilder in the

variety of architectural firms who have produced beautiful, breathtaking
structures in the past. “We don’t subscribe to one specific look when it comes

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Some of the “starchitects” that Vista
Residences has tapped through the years include Arc. William Coscolluela of WV
Cosculluela & Associates for the Mosaic and KL Mosaic Towers, Felino
Palafox of Palafox and Associates for Trevi Towers and Arc. Carmelo Casas of
Casas + Architects for The Gallery. All three buildings are located within or
near the Makati Central Business District.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">For the Mosaic and KL Mosaic Towers, Coscolluela
designed the structures in a hexagonal form to give them a classic and
contemporary look. Working with the tenets of green architecture, Palafox
oriented the structures of Trevi Towers in such a way that they can harness the
full potential of the wind to encourage natural ventilation. Casas, on the
other hand, envisioned The Gallery as a collection of clean, modern lines.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In its other developments such as The Currency
(Ortigas CBD), Wil Tower and Symphony Towers (Quezon City), Vista Residences
tapped the US-based, international architectural firm RTKL whose local partner
is Arch Haus Asia Consultants. They may have been designed by the same group by
their looks can not be more different. The Currency is a single-tower expressed
as two wings, the Wil Tower projects its mixed-use identity with its podium of
retail spaces, while Symphony Towers shimmers like emerald, mirroring the
fluidity and hue of the fountains in the courtyard shared by its two buildings.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Aside from high-rise residences, Vista
Land has also created sumptuous communities composed of mid-rise condominiums
amid wide, open spaces. These include the six-tower development Brescia
Residences in Fairview, Quezon City which evokes the style of an Italian villa;
Pine Crest in New Manila, whose three towers sit on 8,000 square meters, large
areas of which are strewn with pine trees; and The Presidio in Sucat, Parañaque
whose 16 mid-rise condo buildings, located in 6.8-hectare development, are
designed to take in a view of Laguna de Bay, an environmentally protected site.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Backed by more than 30 years of
experience of its parent company Vista Land, Vista Residences makes sure that
all the developments follow building and environmental codes to the letter,
respect the historical attributes of the site and take consideration of the
surrounding communities. “We can proudly claim that we don’t cut corners in our
developments,” Kalaw, “We only work with the trusted names in the construction
industry. We always emphasize that speed should never be a reason to compromise
the safety and the integrity of a building.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">An example that Vista Residences
doesn’t just build indiscriminately is 515 Shaw, a two-tower heritage-oriented
project located in the corner of Laurel Street and Shaw Boulevard in
Mandaluyong City. The design and construction team took every step to assure
that the home of the late President Jose P. Laurel would be safely and
beautifully integrated in the building’s overall structure.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Another step the company is taking in
its construction practice is toward green architecture. As mentioned, Vista
Residences has turned Trevi Towers as a generator of wind for natural
ventilation. Its project at Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City, Avant at the
Fort, has been designed to embody green architecture through and through. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Benefiting from the shade of nearby
structures, Avant at The Fort allows ambient light, but not heat, to filter
through the star-rated glass, minimizing the use of energy. Its design, just
like Trevi Towers, also allows for cross ventilation to pervade through hallways
and units. Its ground level is framed by an espalier that allows for the
integration plant life while shaded swimming pool and private massage coves are
surrounded by greenery.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><span lang="EN-US">Never take water damage
for granted—especially this rainy season. For one thing, leaks and moisture
accumulation will make your precious home look ugly. Think of the dark stains
that turn into “maps” on your ceiling, or the water marks in your bathroom.
Second, leaks and moisture can cause costly, even serious damage like having
your basement walls turn “sweaty” or even having “waterfalls” </span></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><span lang="EN-US">spouting from them </span></a><span lang="EN-US">because of leaks. Water accumulation in the house can even damage or
peel off your flooring. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">That’s not all. Doors that get filled with moisture can
swell-up to the point where they don’t fit door frames anymore. Moisture
accumulation in the home can reach electrical wiring—flickering house lights
may be a sign of this. That’s a fire hazard right there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">In a tropical country like the Philippines<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null">,</a></span><span lang="EN-US"> where we experience several months of monsoon rains, floods, and
typhoons, it is essential to waterproof our homes to protect our investment and
maintain the most important shelter for our family.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Here are some essential tips on how to keep our family and our
house protected from water damage this rainy season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-US">Focus on prevention.</span></b><span lang="EN-US">
Preventing water damage is always the better option than having to fix it when
it happens. Effective prevention means using the right product to waterproof
your home. Some people think that elastomeric paint is a good solution;
however, it is a temporary one at best.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Elastomeric
paint eventually peels off as moisture sets in the walls, ceilings, and floors.
It becomes brittle over time and flakes or fades away. Another downside is that elastomeric paint is
toxic—something that many homeowners don’t usually know about. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">A superior
alternative to elastomeric paint is a “cementitious” or cement-based
waterproofing product. Such a product bonds with the concrete or cement surface
where it is applied. It becomes part of the wall or the ceiling, or the floor.
It does not peel off like paint. It does not crack or flake. If you’re
waterproofing anything concrete or cement, especially, your best bet is a
cement-based waterproofing product like Super Thoroseal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Super Thoroseal
seeps into and bonds permanently with the concrete or cement surface,
effectively sealing even the tiniest pores or spaces so that moisture does not
go through. Best of all, Super Thoroseal is non-toxic. It can even be used in
swimming pools and be in contact with drinking water. Be sure to use Super Thoroseal to waterproof
your toilet and bath, your firewall, and basement. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Super Thoroseal
may be applied even on wet surfaces. Simply mix 1 gallon of Super Thoroseal
with 1.5 liters water, then it is ready to use. It is strong enough to
withstand extremes of temperature, weather, abrasions, and even exposure to
environmental chemicals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-US">Plug active leaks ASAP.</span></b><span lang="EN-US">
What if there are cracks on your concrete wall and the rain is pouring outside,
sending water into your house? What you need is Waterplug, a cement-based
product that immediately plugs the leak and seals the cracks— it is
specifically formulated so you can apply it even while a leak is ongoing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Waterplug is a
fast-setting, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null">fast-drying</a></span><span class="MsoCommentReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 8.0pt;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US">hydraulic cement designed to plug active leaks in concrete surfaces
and structures (even concrete water tanks). Amazingly, Waterplug sets in just
three minutes so you’ll have your leak plugged in such a short time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Waterplug is
non-toxic and very strong. Once it is set and bonded with the concrete, it can
withstand a force of up to 1,500 pounds-per-square-inch (PSI). In comparison,
an open faucet has a force of about 40 PSI. Waterplug can also be used to seal
cold joints and even anchor bolts of gates and other fixtures. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-US">Flexibility. </span></b><span lang="EN-US">Some parts of
a house are more prone to experiencing movement or tremors—for example, a
roofdeck, the upper floors and walls of a house, or a tall building. For such
structures, it’s best to use Optimum Flex, a cement-based, flexible
waterproofing product; its optimum flexibility keeps concrete surfaces sealed
against water and moisture despite movement and tremors. Without such
flexibility, an ordinary sealant would crack. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Optimum Flex is
very easy to use thanks to its pre-packaged, pre-measured components. It’s
composed of a powder and an emulsion that are simply mixed together without
having to do any measuring anymore. It only takes a short time for Optimum Flex
to dry, set, and bond permanently with the concrete surface. It may be applied
in wet areas.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">For real and
effective protection against water damage, remember to choose cementitious or
cement-based products like Super Thoroseal, Waterplug, and Optimum Flex.
Depending on which area of your house, building, or establishment you need to
waterproof, these products provide superior protection. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Property portal Lamudi shocases Primavera Residences, firs eco-friendly residential and commercial development in CDO.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Global property portal Lamudi is now listing the first eco-friendly property in cagayan de Oro, through a new partnership with award-winning developer Italpinas Euroasian design and Eco-development corporation (ITPI Corp).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Primavera Residences is a new eco-friendly condo development in Cagayan de Oro, the capital city of Misamis Oriental province. Featuring high-quality Italian design, the development is capable of generating its own energy, minimizing power usage and maximizing natural light and ventilation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lamudi Philippines currently showcases 19 units from Primavera Residences on its platform. Jacqueline van den Ende, co-founder and Managing Director of Lamudi Philippines, said the partnership with ITPI was the perfect match for the Lamudi website.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"This partnership is line with our goal to bring quality properties from our trusted brokers and developers to all Filipinos, both here and abroad. Green living issues are becoming increasingly important to local house-hunters. For this reason, Lamudi hopes to make more sustainable development like Primavera Residences available on its website" she said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Primavera Residences employs passive cooling technology which allows for shadow and sunlight control, wind cooling and shape performance. As well as offering great accessibility to schools, places of worship, transportation and commercial establishments, the ten-storey twin tower development is built to withstand typhoons and earthquakes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Architect Romoro Nati, CEO and Executive Chairman of ITPI, said sustainability was a key feature of all his company's projects. "We look at the bigger and how our projects impact their surrounding environment. We have our own unique approach in property development that benefits not only our stakeholders and investors, but the local community and environment as well," he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Primavera Residences has unique built-in features that boost the development's green credentials, Nati said. "Shadow control is provided by brise soleils and cantilevered edges, as well as scaling windows or terraces and adjusting them following orientation. The south-facing windows, for example, are smaller than those on the opposite side of the buildings. The internal vertical atrium found in both towers is an efficient wind cooling system that enhances the cross-section layout of the units," he added.</div>

Malaysia, according to Manulife’s latest quarterly survey into investor
sentiment in the country. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">While optimism is down slightly from the previous
quarter (-8 to 58), more investors still regard it as is a good time to invest
and sentiment remains overwhelmingly positive. At the asset class level,
sentiment dropped across the board except towards cash; although again,
investors remain optimistic about all asset classes (equities lost 7 points to
reach 41, fixed income was down 15 to 45, mutual funds declined 16 to 35, and
investment property slipped 9 to 70). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">“Our second survey of investor sentiment in the
Philippines continues to reveal great optimism. A strong stock market
performance during the quarter and strong economic growth expectations look to
be underpinning the upbeat sentiment,” said Ryan Charland, President and CEO,
Manulife Philippines. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">The research, part of the Manulife Investor
Sentiment Index (MISI) survey,* shows that sentiment in the Philippines is
joint highest with Malaysia, and at 58 is more than double the regional average
of 24 (up two points from 22 in the previous quarter). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">“Stocks
were up 9 percent in the first quarter thanks to company earnings being in line
with or better than estimates. Yet, sentiment may have built in a higher
inflation outlook and the rise in banks' reserve requirements, which was
interpreted as a prelude to further tightening measures to curb strong
liquidity growth,” said Ms. Aira Gaspar, Chief Investment Officer, Manulife
Philippines. “We expect sentiment towards equity to pick up from here, as
resilient domestic consumption and rising investment spending are supportive of
an upward corporate earnings trajectory.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Official retirement age should rise <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Despite the optimism, the research does show that
Philippines investors are concerned about their retirement, including the need
to continue working beyond the official retirement age and their ability to
meet family responsibilities during retirement. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Philippine investors are strongly (64 percent) in
favor of increasing the official retirement age, a good deal higher than the
Asia average (51 percent). The official retirement age in the Philippines at
only 60 years is below the Asian average, with most countries in the region
currently setting retirement at 65 years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Also, with life expectancy in the Philippines up
significantly in recent decades1 there is a sense that the official retirement
age is out of step, leaving investors an increasingly lengthy retirement to
save for. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">“People know that the social safety net is not
going to cover all their needs when they retire and that they’re going to have
to fend for themselves,” said Ryan Charland, President and CEO, Manulife Philippines.
“The gap can be made up by working in old age, but an alternative route is to
invest as soon as there’s some extra to put away and to do so consistently
throughout your working life. That way, by the time retirement comes around,
the compound returns from investments can provide a much-needed income top-up.”

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">The investor sentiment survey also highlights the

<span lang="EN-US">Their
largest retirement concern is their ability to leave an inheritance to children
or heirs (69 percent of investors). Their second biggest concern is health
deterioration (60 percent) followed by a fear that they will need to support
their children financially (37 percent). In addition over four fifths of
investors in the Philippines, more than any other country in the region, expect
to support their spouse in retirement.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Almost nine out of ten investors expect private
healthcare services to handle their medical needs during retirement, which runs
counter to the rest of the region where the average is just over one in four.
However, only 40 percent of Philippines investors have private medical insurance
and only 60 percent expect to purchase or maintain personal health insurance
during retirement. Despite such large numbers not having or not expecting to
have private healthcare insurance, only 15 percent are worried that healthcare
will be unaffordable in retirement (less than half the regional average). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">“Investors think that healthcare will be somewhat
affordable, but if they don’t have insurance, it will be an out-of-pocket
expense,” said Mr. Charland. “With medical expenses continuing to rise over
time and at a greater rate than inflation, Philippines investors would be wise
to factor that into their retirement planning.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">In response to the
changing financial protection needs of the modern Filipino family, Manulife
Philippines recently launched <b>Manulife FlexiSure, </b>a first-of-its-kind
whole life protection product with a built-in investment feature that provides
not only a safety net against life’s unexpected events, but also the
opportunity to optimize the policyowner’s money’s earning potential by taking
advantage of changing market conditions within the investable variable
unit-linked component of the product. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Manulife FlexiSure </span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">gives the policyholder a lot of financial flexibility by allowing him/her
to access their variable unit-linked investment funds in times of need –
something that whole life protection products were unable to do previously. In
this product, the current value of the investment component is “withdrawable”
at any time</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 6pt;">1 </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">and can be used by the policyowner for either emergency or
anticipated expense needs without having to sacrifice the guaranteed protection
coverage provided for by the product. “This is why we refer to <b>Manulife
FlexiSure </b>as a ‘hybrid’ insurance product,” according to <b>Indren Naidoo,
President and Chief Executive Officer, Manulife Philippines. <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Another aspect of the
product’s flexibility is it allows policyholders to choose the proportion of
guaranteed protection coverage component that the policy provides in relation
to the investable portion, in response to the changing financial goals and
objectives of the policyowner over time. To add, it also allows for “fund
switching” wherein the investable funds can be reallocated to different
investment funds like <b><i>Peso Secure Fund, Peso Diversified Value Fund, Peso
Dynamic Allocation Fund, Peso Growth Fund </i></b>and <b><i>Peso Cash Fund </i></b>to
take advantage of changing financial market conditions. “Top-ups” can also be
provided at minimal amounts to build up the fund based on what’s convenient for
the customer. “<b>Manulife FlexiSure </b>is a completely new generation whole
life protection product in which the value of the investable portion component
can be optimized for return potential in response to the evolving and specific
needs of the policyholder,” added Mr. Naidoo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">How do you satisfy consumers in a highly
discriminating industry such as food?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
Just ensure
safety and quality, which also includes taste, at all times from the sourcing
of raw materials to testing, processing, packaging and transport until it
reaches consumers’ dining table.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
And this is what Mekeni Food Corporation assures
consumers through its popular line of Mekeni products—ham, bacon, corned beef,
their top-quality cured meat products such as <i>tapa, tocino, longganisa</i>, and of course its flagship brand, the
Mekeni Picnic Hotdog. This particular product is slowly gaining ground in terms
of awareness and preference among households today because of its taste that is
already comparable to premium-priced brands in the market.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
For the safety aspect, Mekeni Food Corporation made
sure that its food manufacturing processes adhere to the strictest and most
stringent standards acceptable around the world when it comes to food
processing. Food safety programs such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Hazard
Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) are already in place for Mekeni to
gain acceptance among local consumers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Mekeni Food Corporation is also doubly proud of these
standards because it shows that the company is doubly serious in its efforts to
make safety a top priority and part of the mindset of the company’s production
team at their 20-plus hectare meat processing plant in Balubad, Porac, Pampanga.
This same plant is accredited by the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS)
and boasts of a “AAA” rating conferred by the same agency.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And in a project of the NMIS together with other
partner-agencies when it comes to choosing the best among AAA-grade meat
processing plants in the country in terms of food safety, Mekeni showed them
all how to make safety part of their manufacturing veins when it won as “Best
Meat Processing Plant” in not just one but three years straight years, from
2004 to 2006. For this reason, Mekeni Food Corporation was bestowed with a
“Grand Slam Award” back in 2007.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">But Mekeni Food Corporation is still adamant in pushing their
safety processing benchmark to even greater heights not just in the local scene
but international as well. In 2006, after Mekeni Food Corporation won its third
straight “Best Meat Processing Plant” award, the company even made history and
made the country proud by becoming the first meat processing plant in the Philippines, the first in asia and
the 2<sup>nd</sup> in the world to be presented with the prestigious ISO
22000 or Food Safety Management System certification. The award cited Mekeni Food Corporation for
its continued investments in modernizing its processing equipment and thorough
and meticulous research and development efforts to make their products truly
world class and safe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And Mekeni Food Corporation pushed the envelope even further
when 6 years after that groundbreaking award, the company was awarded as the
first Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) 22000-certified hotdog processing
plant in the country. This is no easy feat to achieve, especially for a company
that started only as a backyard business. The FSSC requires that a company’s
food safety standards should conform to the rigorous demands of global
retailers or major branded food companies regarding food safety management in
order for their product to gain entry into a specific market.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">“Safety and quality is at the lifeblood of Mekeni Food
Corporation, from the management down to the employees. Our consumers are our
priority for the business so we make sure that safety and quality is always
observed so as not to lose their trust and confidence, which is vital for us to
survive. We thank God for giving us the wisdom and the courage to always be on
our toes so that we can continue to give Filipinos safe and high-quality
world-class products,” Prudencio “Pruds” Garcia, President of Mekeni Food
Corporation, emphasizes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">For more than a decade now, I-Foods
Inc. has been taking Filipinos on a gastronomic journey. Its portfolio of
restaurants offers diners a taste of world cooking at reasonable prices. When I-Foods
Inc. president Bryan Tiu opened his first concept restaurant in 2001, it was to
be the first in a number of fast casual restaurants he was to develop in the
coming years. These restaurants brought to a bigger market segment what were
then considered to be expensive concepts.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">From
its first store in Greenhills, San Juan in 2001, Teriyaki Boy grew to have 10
branches in Metro Manila by 2005. Its menu of favorite Japanese fare, from
sushi and sashimi to ramen, from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">donburi </i>(rice
toppings) to tempura, it proved that enjoying Japanese food not be expensive. Because
of its rapid growth and popularity among diners, the Pancake House group entered
into a partnership with I-Foods Inc., which rapidly enlarged the Japanese
fast-foods exposure in the market to 50 stores.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">His
success with Teriyaki Boy led him to develop another Japanese-inspired concept,
Tokyo Café. When the restaurant opened its first branch at SM Mall of Asia in
2006, it pioneered a concept that was popular throughout Japan: cafés that
served Western dishes with a Japanese twist. It also served a menu of coffee
beverages to rival those offered by other franchises. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">With
the guidance of Atsushi Yoshizawa, a Japanese professional with years of
experience in the restaurant business, Tokyo Café proved to be a hit. Rather
than scare diners away with its unusual menu, the restaurant had cheerful
interiors with a modern Japanese ambience that attracted a young crowd. Add to
this the five-star personalized service, and the restaurant proved to be
another winner for I-Foods Inc.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">From Japanese food, I-Foods Inc.
went into the fast-food business developing a concept of affordable high-end
burgers. Stackers Burger Café opened its first outlet in 2007 and offered a
unique product to its regulars: premium burgers made with 100 percent imported
beef from Australia, New Zealand and the United States. And no, these aren’t just
plain burgers. Diners had a number of options, from a variety of sauces and
toppings, to make their experience an original one.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Aside
from burgers, Stackers also pioneered in the first and original Baked Fried
Chicken. Using a special method of cooking, the chicken stay juicy and tender
but with 80% less oil than regular fried chicken, for a truly healthier meal. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I-Foods
Inc. next focused on chicken in its next venture. Apart from fast food, what do
Filipinos love most? Barbecue, and that’s what Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken aimed
to serve. This was no ordinary chicken barbecue. Peri-peri chicken uses a special
spicy marinade that is popular in Portugal and Africa for a different tasting
dish. And for the twist in the sauce, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Peri-Peri chicken uses imported African Bird’s
Eye Chili. All the chicken is spit-roasted for a healthier meal. To complement
most meals, diners have the option to avail of the soup and beverage bar where
they can have as much as they want for a minimum add-on.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Eventually, I-Foods Inc. went back
to Asia to develop its next concept. With the opening of Kogi Bulgogi in 2010,
diners had a chance to enjoy Korean food at reasonable prices. The restaurant
specializes in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">bulgogi</i>, the popular
barbecue that is the rage worldwide. And to suit Filipino palates, diners have
the option of adjusting the level of spiciness of their orders.</span><br />

non-profit arm of Vibal Publishing House, Inc., and the Catholic Educational
Association of the Philippines (CEAP) are inviting educators, students,
scholars, publishers, and policy makers to the forthcoming “The Future of
Education” Conference slated on August 28, 2012.</span></div>

<div class="FreeForm" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The conference,
scheduled from 7:30 am to 3 p.m, will be held at the SMX Convention Center in
the Mall of Asia complex, Pasay City. It has a prestigious roster of speakers
including Department of Education Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro, FSC; CEAP
President Fr. Greg Bañaga, LitWorld Executive Director Dr. Pam Allyn, who will
talk about “Universalizing the US Common Core State Standards”, Philippine
Normal University President Dr. Ester Ogena who will discuss “A New Culture of
Teaching” and Vibal Publishing House President Mr. Gaspar A. Vibal who will

<div class="FreeForm" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">This momentous
gathering will discuss the present state and future directions of Philippine
education at the height of global innovations in learning. It is also a
ground-breaking venue for Filipino educators to cull insights, experiences, and
issues relevant to coping with dramatic digital transitions in education around
the world.</span></div>

<div class="FreeForm" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Locally, the latest
manifestation pertaining to the digital shift is the adoption of tablet
education and e-textbooks by different major schools all over the Philippines. Starting
out as a pilot class or experimental program in pioneering schools like Foundation
University in Dumaguete and La Salle Green Hills in Mandaluyong, the practice
has now expanded to full implementation across different learning institutions,
not only within Manila but also in the provinces.</span></div>

<div class="FreeForm" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">One of the purveyors
of digital learning is Vibal Publishing House, which has, to date, deployed
18,000 e-textbooks at the start of the 2012-2013 schoolyear. As an innovator in
the industry, Vibal has produced the latest version of the etextbook called
ePub 3.0, which makes it possible for e-books to come embedded with audio and
video clips and enables true user interactivity. Students can answer
self-scoring quizzes and generally benefit from the enhanced user experience
for more effective learning.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">MANILA, Philippines</b> – These days thoughts and tweets are almost one
and the same. We just can’t help but share what we’re thinking to the world.
It’s like our minds have gone digital and invaded the social networking scene.
And with the rising popularity of Foursquare and other location-tracking apps,
your location is just as accessible as your tweets. Today, broadcasting one’s
whereabouts has just been more than just a habit, but a social statement.</div>
