Drinks and hors dʼoeuvres, amidst entertainment from an oldies but goodies band, were served throughout the evening at The City Clubʼs Club Lounge located on the fourth floor of Alphaland Makati Place.

One greatly recognized function of art is to act as a shining beacon and mirror to the subconscious. In light of this, JOYA gallery is pleased o announce its debut show entitled FRONTIERS, featuring emerging Australian artist Henry Curchod (Sydney) with his series “Reductions,” and established Filipino commercial photographer Artu Nepomuceno (Manila) with his first abstract offering entitled “Psychedelic Warfare.”

JOYA is a new contemporary art gallery set on showcasing emerging international artists alongside a select stable of the country’s emerging and most inspired artistic talent. As youthfulness and young art are a reflection of one's inner sensibility rather than of age, it is only fitting that JOYA will cater to all demographics and represent artists of all ages and stations of life; in this vein, a path towards both quality and passion is earnestly illuminated.

Showcasing the different states of movement and tension within each artist’s collection, FRONTIERS aims to highlight the differing stages of spiritual and emotional balance that have surfaced in the constantly changing landscape of our consciousness.

Anchor Land, Lamudi Host Successful Real Estate Summit In Cebu

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Noted Manila-based real estate developer Anchor Land Holdings, Inc. and the Philippines’ number one real estate website Lamudi (www.lamudi.com.ph) recently held a real estate professionals summit in Cebu City. Conducted last September 16 in the Sampaguita Room of the Mariott Hotel in Cebu, the summit allowed Cebu-based real estate brokers to learn more about the local real estate market.

One of the speakers, Anchor Land Holdings’ training manager Cheryl Linato, discussed the company’s Manila-based projects specifically Monarch Parksuites in the Bay City. Touted to become Metro Manila’s most important business districts, the Bay City is also one of the Philippines’ grandest tourism projects. It is already home to two integrated resort casinos, the country’s third largest shopping mall, BPO offices, residential condos, hotels, a convention center, and a concert hall, and Anchor Land will soon call the Bay City its home with its newest and most luxurious project, Monarch Parksuites—a four-tower residential condo complex.

Monarch Parksuites features Dutch baroque architecture and is one of the few luxury condos in Metro Manila that offer buyers unobstructed views of the famed Manila Bay sunset. In addition, as the Bay City is expected to soon employ more than 100,000 people—almost 4,000 of them expats—property investors are promised a potential rental yield of 8 percent.

Lamudi Philippines’ managing director Jacqueline van den Ende also spoke during the event and shared the secrets for successful online marketing for real estate brokers. Among the subjects van den Ende discussed was the current online landscape in the Philippines, and how real estate professionals must leverage this to their favor.
