Have you heard the saying, "One can never be too old to become younger"?
I'm in that state where I've been anxious about seeing the signs of aging. You can not stop aging but somehow you can keep the aging clock slower. It would be wise for younger ones to seek help and attend to their needs when taking care of their looks and health, as the skin is the main reflection of your health. How I wish I had discovered collagen early on.
Hence, I was excited to know more about this new collagen drink and how it compares

One of the brands that bring nostalgia is Libby's. It's our top on the list when shopping at Duty Free for pasalubong, and many can nod to me on this, as many grew up with the famous “blue can” Vienna Sausage. We can definitely say that most Filipinos have a lot of love for Libby’s. Likewise, this brand that’s been a breakfast staple for many people over the years, has also a lot of love to give back, with this, Libby’s came up with yet another must-try ulam that everyone will sure to love, to shreds too.
It was indeed a pleasure to be one of the people to have first discovered Libby's Corned Beef at the launch event which happened at One Ayala Mall.
Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "...beautiful old people are works of art."
Aging can be daunting but when you take the time to care for yourself while taking care of the rest of the family, live a healthy mind, stay a humble soul, and keep your perspective aligned with what's true and good, aging can be a blessing.
I'll be a hypocrite if I deny that I'd still want to maintain my youthful physique and glow, but I have one too many excuses. That is why I am so thankful to have met Dr. Anne Marie Montesa and her team at Montesa Aesthetic Center, as Dr. Anne herself has defied aging.
The Launch at The Manila Hotel Branch
Montesa Medical Group (MMG) has officially launched its highly anticipated Aesthetic Center at The Manila Hotel, solidifying the group’s commitment to providing advanced dermatology and age management services. The blessing and grand opening event, held on November 11,2024, drew an esteemed gathering of MMG’s partners, industry leaders, and loyal clients, reflecting the strong support for MMG’s vision of beauty and wellness innovation.
The event commenced with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the center’s serene location with The Manila Hotel’s Spa area, inviting guests to experience the center’s luxurious ambiance and state-of-the-art facilities. Designated to deliver an immersive and transformative aesthetic experience, the new center is poised to redefine beauty care for clients seeking sophisticated and natural-looking results.
Dr. Anna Marie Montesa, President, CEO and Medical Director of MMG, captivated attendees with a keynote address that highlighted the center’s extensive range of offerings—from advanced, non-invasive treatments to personalized skincare regimens.
The new MMG Aesthetic Center at The Manila Hotel offers a wide range of cutting-edge treatments and procedures, tailored to address diverse aesthetic concerns. As Dr. Anna Marie Montesa, the visionary founder of MMG, explains, “We are excited to bring our expertise and state-of-the-art technologies to the Manila Hotel. Our goal is to empower individuals to look and feel their solutions that cater to their unique needs.”

My Personal Experience
Like many others, I wish to be blessed with an aging clock that is set slower than the rest, as well. Truth be told, I need a couple of this and that done on my face, to limit the signs of wrinkles, sagging skin and facial muscles plus panda eyes.
I used to have regular facials but when I learned about Korean skincare at home, my derma clinic visits have become rare. I do attest aesthetic centers offer more than what I could accomplish doing skin care at home (which I don't even do on a daily basis). My visit to MMG Aesthetic Center last week made me realize that.
I mean, how have I gone looking young (like 5 years have been lifted off my face) on my first visit?
Dedication, passion plus technology can actually help us look radiant as opposed to looking stressed. However, it takes trust to leave your goals to someone who has been in the business of making people beautiful, well, at least that was what made me trust Dr. Anne. According to Ms. Christine, one of the officials of the company, Dr. Anne was a good doctor, but she wanted to help more so she studied how to make people more beautiful.
I'm sure I'm not the only client/patient who could attest that their techniques were avant-garde!
They have managed to combine traditional and the most advanced technology in maintaining the skin, as with the machines they use in their centers for the specific treatments they offer mentioned above.
I have tried their European Ultra White Facial as suggested by Dr. Anne. I like how she made an assessment of my skin first and personally asked me what to target on my skin. The treatment is composed of several procedures. Starts with cleaning, and application of serums and moisturizers with facial massages.
The personal touch was what I like the most, the lymphatic drainage in the face.
Did you know that this type of massage helps remove toxins from the skin, then combatting dullness and leaving you with a more glowing, healthier-looking complexion? While it is true that lymph carries cellular waste (excess fluid), making our skin puffy and discolored. By physically manipulating the skin, you’re increasing blood flow, and that’s what creates that rosy or otherwise glowing look and combats dullness.
If I remember it right, the facial massage was done twice and I slept through the second one, it was that relaxing.
They also used a thing-a-majig, with a tingling sensation on my eye bags, to treat it lessening the puffiness and darkening.
I woke up fully rejuvenated, and with skin glowing and firmer. But It didn't end there!
I wanted lifting on my smile area as well, but I don't want Botox or threading (as it was painful, so I have heard). The best next thing, or maybe just the best, is Ulthera. A cold laser therapy was applied on my jaw line, Dr. Anne herself did it and explained that certain ultrasonic lights penetrate such areas to target the production of collagen, which I needed the most.
Ultherapy® is recognized as the Gold Standard for non-evasive skin lifting and tightening with no pain and no downtime. Just perfect for anyone, or moms like me who are always on the go.
True to itself, my marionette lines lessened and my cheeks were firmer and almost V-shaped jaw again. I am so happy with the result and I couldn't have been happier having to have tried it. Will definitely save up more for another treatment which will happen after six months as the result lasts that long!
The best gift you could give yourself this Christmas- a youthful look! Have it here at MMG Aesthetic Center at The Manila Hotel.

It was an honor to witness how Lanson Place Mall of Asia’s enchanting Christmas Tree Lighting event, “Season of Lights,” has illuminated the spirit of the holidays and heralded the start of a thrilling festive season of special events and experiences at the hotel.
The event started when the aisle outside Cyan Cafe was darkened and Imusicapella started humming and singing while parading with a candle each at hand. It was truly heartwarming, a celebration showcasing a cherished holiday tradition where attendees like me were treated to an exceptional array of festive performances, showcasing the holiday spirit through the soulful voices of award-winning performers including Arman Ferrer and Shiela Valderrama Martinez, Imusicapella, Bernie Pasamba and the Music Masters.
Filipino cuisine were often stereotyped as cheap and ordinary, but do you believe that there is more to the dish that what it may just seem, to satisfy hunger. Behind every dish we are accustomed to are the stories behind its creation, what goes to the dish that makes it special in every regions, and in every households, and the rich history we have that have influenced how a dish is presented.
Do you know that there is a hotel buffet spread that would cater to your every dining whim in the heart of Mall of Asia grounds? How about some Indian cuisine amongst the selection of international dishes?
Lanson Place Mall of Asia is the newest dining destination in Manila or Pasay to be more specific. I've yet to navigate around and discover their wide array of dining options from all-day dining, weekend high tea, cafe, and flow bar by the lounge. You can find the right place for your every dining needs from their six dining places, namely, Cyan Modern Kitchen, Blk 12 Cafe and Bar, Bytes grab and go, Focus co-working hub, Edge Pool Bar, and Madeleine High Tea.
So happy to have visited Lanson Place and tried Cyan on the third floor. It's a massive place made even more captivating by the bayside scenery. The modern interior design was well put off to match a relaxing vibe. Imagine having your meals while seeing Manila's most spectacular sunset or having cocktails or wine while watching the seasonal MOA Fireworks.
Cyan serves up traditional, international favorites, while making sure ingredients are fresh, on the season, and sustainable. This time, I focused on trying out their expanded menu for their Indian cuisine. They have been offering a space for Asian dishes with only a few Indian foods along with Japanese, Korean and Chinese. A designated chef, very keen and have been totally immersed on this cuisine was assigned to make the experience authentic.

The biggest challenge of every parent today is how to give enriching activities to their children to keep them away from gadgets. Honestly, I'm one of those parents, as my five-year-old daughter, Danaera often sees us (my husband and older kids included) using our laptops and cellphones to work and do school activities, leaving her wanting to do the same thing. Ever since she knew how to hold a phone, she has learned easily how to click on YouTube and eventually play Roblox, which I have detested up to now.
As 7-Eleven marks its 40th year in the Philippines, the brand is celebrating more than just a milestone filled with exciting promos and new product releases. In the launch of its first-ever video story, Laging Kasama, 7-Eleven pays tribute to its four decades in the industry, showcasing why it remains the Philippines’ number one convenience store.
Since 1984, 7-Eleven has been an integral part of the daily lives of the community. With nearly 4,000 stores nationwide, it has become a key presence in ordinary stories—a comforting hangout spot for friends, a life-saver for last-minute needs, or a convenient meal stop for families to connect. 7-Eleven has earned its place as the trusted neighbor for millions of Filipinos.
This unique bond between the brand and its community is perfectly captured in Laging Kasama. The story, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Director Victor Villanueva (known for the indie hit Patay na si Hesus) beautifully explores themes of family and love. The film introduces us to Tatay Albert and his son, Raymart, whose relationship has been both challenged and strengthened, with 7-Eleven playing a vital role as their paboritong kapitbahay.

More and more households are relying on IVO, a leading name in water
purification. It has become a popular retail brand, renewing its commitment to a
sustainable future by rolling out more eco-friendly water filters nationwide.
Knowing how well-loved IVO is, it's about right to expand its availability, thus the partnership with ACE. In the recently concluded event in ACE Hardware in Megamall, they announced that the said brand will be available to more than 100 Ace Hardware stores by the end of the year.
Attended by media people and influencers and with the beautiful Shaina Magdangal gracing the simple event.
What IVO offers
Good things really do come in
small packages, like a water filter. IVO may be tiny, but it is packed with
benefits. Backed by Japanese technology, IVO ensures that the tap water you
drink is safe and fresh. It uses advanced technology such as the hollow membrane,
used in dialysis to purify blood, to catch even the smallest contaminants.
In addition to its
technology, IVO helps address plastic pollution, one of the largest
contributors to climate change. According to Oceana, a marine protection group,
two garbage trucks’ worth of plastic is dumped into the ocean every minute.
This staggering amount highlights the urgent need for sustainable products like
IVO.
Each IVO filter can purify up
to 1,500 liters, equivalent to 79 large water jugs or 5,000 small plastic
bottles. IVO simplifies life by removing the need to constantly purchase water
stored in bulky containers.
Additionally, IVO is
practical for everyday use. It eliminates the need to buy and carry bulky water
containers. By simply attaching the filter to their faucet, users enjoy a
continuous supply of clean water.
Shared commitment
“The wider availability of
our products is part of our ongoing commitment to provide alternative solutions
for a sustainable future,” said Donna Yan, President of IVO Philippines.
“Through our partnership with Ace Hardware, we hope to empower more households
and businesses to take steps in minimizing their plastic footprint,” she added.
ACE Hardware shares IVO’s
passion for sustainable practices, as shown by its consistent support of green
initiatives over the years.
Ace Hardware recently won two
awards at the Retail Asia Awards 2024 for its best practices. The company was
named ‘Retailer of the Year – Philippines’ and received ‘Customer Service
Initiative of the Year.’
In 2022, the Retail Asia also
recognized Ace Hardware for promoting sustainable products through the “Green
Finds” program. The Retail Asia Awards recognize top innovations in the
region's retail industry.
Impact of Partnership
The collaboration goes beyond
increased market visibility. Because of Ace Hardware’s wide reach, more
Filipinos can benefit from high-quality, eco-friendly filter. The more
Filipinos switch to sustainable solutions, the better it is for the Earth. The
partnership is also a call to action – so that other businesses may follow suit
and minimize their environmental footprint.

When I found out that my daughter, my third child, had Diabetes Mellitus, our life made a drastic change. I was regularly baking pastries as it was my side hustle and we just love sweets, but I had to limit it to only when there were orders. We have to stop taking in everything that has sugar and give up on sodas. It was hard to get whole foods, sugar-free treats, and organic pantry staples back then. It was chaos when going to the grocery store as everything seemed unhealthy. I never knew Healthy Options back then, she was only five years old.
Then, I came to discover the store in a certain mall, I can't recall where but I do remember the happiness on my daughter's when we found sugar-free chocolates, foodstuff perfect for her, and chromium picolinate, the best multivitamins for diabetics as it helps in lowering blood sugar. My daughter is now 20 years old and the whole family has benefited from this change.
I have seen Marriott Bonvoy through new eyes, as they beamed with pride during the Marry Me at Marriott event. It was my first of firsts, as I'm not into fashion shows or design, and even though I worked in the events scene back in the day (as a wedding and event planner), my excitement could not still be contained.
Marriott Bonvoy and the rest of Marriott hotels in the Philippines successfully celebrated the 10th edition of its prestigious signature bridal showcase, Marry Me at Marriott, with the theme “Paving the way to #morewinningmoments”. The hashtag was befitting, as everyone who attended the grandiose event experienced many winning moments.
This milestone event marked a decade of weddings and social marketing emulated by other players in the hotel industry for consistently showcasing unmatched sophistication and groundbreaking initiatives in bridal fashion, culinary arts, and bespoke weddings and social services.
In 2022, Marry Me at Marriott served as a launch pad to create a more purposeful and full-blown campaign, dubbed, “Marriott Moments”. It was also in 2022 that the Marriott Bonvoy team took notice of the promising plan that was laid out that year, and viewed it as an undertaking that should be made on a market-wide level. The now award-winning Marriott Moments campaign is harnessed on three major components: Onstage with Marry Me at Marriott, On-ground with Marriott Moments A-Fair: Dream Weddings and Events Expo, and Online which consist of our year-round marketing initiatives that help strengthen our presence online and in the digital marketplace. These are all anchored on the genuine commitment to convey to their guests that Marriott is the ideal venue for creating lasting memories and winning moments for everyone.
Growing Presence in the Philippines
Consul General of the Philippines in New York, Senen T. Mangalile gave the opening remarks. Mangalile is a diplomat who is known for his dedication in fostering international relations and has been instrumental in supporting the Filipino community in the US North East.
The show proper opened with Marriott Bonvoy on Wheels by Lambretta’s colorful scooters circling the huge runway following by the entrance of big flags, each representing the 10 properties of Marriott in the Philippines paraded with the leaders of each of the properties.
Currently Marriott has 10 hotels carrying the most reputable global brands in hospitality namely, Marriott, Sheraton, Westin, Courtyard, Fairfield, Four Points by Sheraton, and soon AC Hotels by Marriott.
Marry Me at Marriott: Philippine Gratus Gala
This year’s signature event evolved into what it is called now, the “Marry Me at Marriott: Philippine Gratus Gala”. Marry Me at Marriott has cemented its position as the sought-after signature marketing event of Marriott in the Philippines that several players in the industry started to emulate. “We are now moving forward and calling it, Marry Me at Marriott: Philippine Gratus Gala, because other than weddings, we believe life is meant to be celebrated no matter how big or small of a milestone maybe, all in the spirit of being grateful, every occasion deserves a Marriott Moment.” says Bruce Winton, Marriott International Multi-property Vice President – The Philippines.
Star-Studded GLOCAL Affair
Topnotch fashion designers Bessie Besana from New York City, Veejay Floresca from Los Angeles, Hannah Kong from Luzon, Axel Que from Visayas, and Wilson Limon from Mindanao adorned the runway of the prestigious fashion show. Their innovative fashion design worn by first-rate professional models from Mercator and celebrity muses made the audience in awe. Special appearances of 2015 Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach, 2015 Miss Earth Angelia Ong, and 2024 Miss Universe Philippines Chelsea Manalo, who was a former associate of one of the Marriott hotels in the Philippines added allure to the show making the night even more memorable.

A Grateful Tribute
In a heartfelt tribute, the “Marriott Gratus Gem” a symbol of gratitude and excellence was launched to honor designers, event stylists, and partners who have contributed to Marry Me at Marriott over the past decade. Each of the awardee received a masterpiece creatively carved out by renowned visual artist and sculptor, Maestro Cameron Castrillo embellished with Twin Princess Gems’ Ruby gemstone, complete with certificate of authenticity.
Honoring a Visionary: Frederick Peralta
One of the recipients of the first Marriott Gratus Gem is the legendary Frederick Peralta, who is being honored for his invaluable contribution as an icon to the fashion industry. Some of his classic creations including the wedding gown of celebrity Ai-ai Delas Alas was showcased on the catwalk before receiving the award. Peralta’s works have redefined wedding couture, making dreams come true for countless brides and grooms. His creativity and generous spirit graced the very first runway of Marry Me at Marriott 10 years ago, setting the foundation of Marry Me at Marriott. His support and belief in the initiative speak volume about his character and passion to uplift the fashion community.
A Winning Partnership
Presented by Marriott Bonvoy, Marry Me at Marriott was made possible with the collaboration Marriott’s hotels in the Philippines: Marriott Hotel Manila, Sheraton Manila Hotel, Clark Marriott Hotel, Sheraton Manila Bay, Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort, The Westin Manila, in cooperation with Courtyard by Marriott Iloilo, Four Points by Sheraton Palawan Puerto Princesa, Four Points by Sheraton Boracay, and Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mandaue.
