Long weekend and if you love painting, photography & sculpture visit Estancia Capitol Commons. Definitely you will amazed by the exhibits of the over 100 artist who just joined the Ortigas Art Festival 2019.

It was the idea of Renato Habulan, renowned social realist painter, to tap the various groups of artists from all over the country and give them a venue to exhibit their works. Ortigas Malls was receptive to the idea of promoting grassroots participation in the art scene. No gallery representation – just artists working together; no admission charge for the viewers – walk through the art for free.

Photo shows (from left): Peter Sutcliffe, watercolor artist, The Guild; Joselito Jandayan, Team Leader, AgawXena; Benjamin Cabrera, featured artist- print making; Richard Buxani, featured artist- sculptor; Atty.

HERE ARE THE FEATURED ARTISTS:

  1. BENJIE TORRADO CABRERA– Among the featured artists is master engraver, the only engraver in the country specializing in this laborious, centuries-old medium. His works, which are complex in detail, are inspired by his interest in cosmology, with geometric shapes and spheres that signify the universe.
  2. DARWIN “JAPAT” GUEVARRA– Another one to look out for a self-taught artist inspired by the works of masters and his peers, showcases works that reflect his concepts of life and social realism, expressed through his mastery of the paintbrush, sculpting, photography, and experimenting with scrap and molded materials.
  3. BERN WONG– Also in the spotlight is photographer with her camera that has captured the most moving meditative and breathtaking landscapes she has seen encountered in her travels. Her works express the minimal, abstract, and even the surreal aspects of places she visits.
  4. RICHARD BUXANI– Make sure to check out the works of an architect who has since harnessed his talent to create sculptures made out of metal. Inspired by Ronald Castrillo, Richarddiscovered a natural fondness for bending, crafting, cutting, welding and molding materials – which will be showcased at the art festival.

Also joining the art festival are artists from all over the country, whose works mirror the great talent of Filipino artists. The roster includes AgawXena, Agos Kulay Maynila, Banta Artist Initiative, Himbon, Biskeg, The Guild, Group Artists of Taytay, Association of Pinoy Printmakers, Hilaga, and Westgrove Fine Arts.

“Ortigas & Company is delighted to see that support for contemporary Philippine art has been growing. As part of our commitment to the arts, we are holding the second run of this art festival in the hope that this will increase appreciation for the creative individuality of artists. By holding this in Estancia, we are also making art accessible to Filipinos, especially for our mall patrons and the Capitol Commons community,” concluded Arch. Renee Bacani, VP of Ortigas & Company.

6 HACKS TO SURVIVE COMMUTING IN METRO MANILA

Do you commute everyday? Are you taking public transportation? Do you live in urban areas?  Once in a while I commute and use the public transportation. You know how challenging and downright agonizing it can be to commute on a daily basis and while there’s much to improve with our transport system that we can rant about.  There are ways for us to at least make the experience easier for ourselves, more pleasant even. So I’m sharing with you 6 sure hacks to survive commuting in the metro.

1. CHOOSE RIGHT, PACK SMART

First and foremost, always ensureyou bring a bag that can be fully and securely closed such as those with zippers. Tote bags may be convenient for you, but remember you’re not the only one who will have easy access. If you change bags frequently, get a bag organizer to easily transfer all your things from one bag to another. If you’re a gadget junkie, use a cord organizer for tangle-free earphones and chargers while you’re on the go.

2. WEAR THE COMFIEST SHOES

Trust us, your daily travel can be a whole lot easier and much less tiring simply by wearing the right shoes. Ditch the heels, obviously. Go for something reliable and tested like Skechers GOWalk—said to be the number 1 walking shoe in the U.S., it’s also worn by travelers in airports all over. The latest Skechers GOwalk Evolution makes you feel like you’re walking on clouds, giving a bounce in every step no matter how long and tiring the lines or walks are. Well cushioned, lightweight and breathable,this shoe is a must-have travel and commute companion!

3. USE STORED VALUE CARDS- Save time & money, grab limited deals!

Skip long lines atticket stations by purchasing  beep™ stored value cards. Aside from saving time lining up, it also saves you money as it comes out cheaper than buying single rides in LRT1 and LRT2. This January, you’ll want to watch out for a new limited edition Skechers beep™card—a special co-branded card that can be used anywhere on MRT3, LRT1, LRT2, P2P buses, BGC Bus, and anywhere beep™cards are accepted. In the spirit of Christmas and to make commuting a better experience for everyone, Skechers is giving out a P500 discount voucher on GOwalk shoes with each purchase of a Skecher beep™card (P50). No limits on number of cards you can purchase so if you want to share the gift of comfort and convenience to friends and family this season, a Skechers beep™card with GOWalk discount voucher is a great way to go!

Skip long lines at ticket stations by purchasing stored value cards. Aside from saving time lining up, it also saves money too as it comes out cheaper than buying single rides. This December, you’ll want to watch out for a new limited edition Skechers Beep card—a special co-branded card that can be used anywhere on all MRT and LRT trains, select P2P buses, and anywhere Beep cards are accepted. In the spirit of Christmas and to make commuting a better experience for everyone, Skechers is giving out a P500 discount voucher on GOwalk shoes with each purchase of a Skecher Beep card (P100). No limits on number of cards you can purchase so if you want to share the gift of comfort and convenience to friends and family this season, a Skechers Beep card with GOWalk discount voucher is a great way to go!

4. BRING A COIN PURSE

Oftentimes, journeys require us to take 2 or more modes of transport. So while stored value cards make our lives easier on trains and some modern bus lines, we still need to rely on cash for jeeps, tricycles, and taxis. It helps a lot with both safety and convenience to have a separate coin purse handy on short rides so you don’t have to bring out your main wallet which carries your cash and cards. Also, you won’t have to worry about not getting enough change back when you can give the exact amount!

5. KEEP HYDRATED

Instead of buying bottles of water every day, we suggest that you bring your own water tumbler instead. This way, you’re not just saving money, but you’re saving the earth by reducing single-use plastic as well. The water will help you stay fresh throughout your commutes especially in our typically hot and humid weather. Place it in an easy to reach, outer part of your bag so you it’s easy to hydrate whenever and wherever you are.

6. NO MORE SWEAT

If you have a big meeting or event coming up and you don’t have space or time to pack extra clothes, prevent sweat marks by putting liners inside the sleeves of your clothes where your underarms are positioned. Of course, it’s always good to bring a hand fan or a portable battery-operated one for hassle-free cooling to avoid sweating in the first place.

There you have it! 6 hacks and I hope it can help you make the best experience possible out of your challenging city commutes! Limited edition Skechers beep™Cards will be available for purchase this January 2019 at selected P2P stations. One P500 discount voucher will be given with each Skechers beep™card purchased.

Celebrate Rebisco@55 with the release of Special Edition Designer Cans

When you talk about biscuit I always think of Rebisco, aside from one year older than me, their slogan is true sarap kasama sarap kasalo. I can attest that Rebisco Assorted Biscuit is Pinoy all time favorite and became a part of Filipino tradition like a pasalubong lovingly carried to waiting family members in many homecomings; a favorite merienda fare; a much-loved snack passed around during family gatherings, big and small. The Rebisco Assorted Biscuits Tin Can is one of the most iconic fixtures in a Filipino home.

As Rebisco celebrates its 55th year anniversary, the brand collaborated with 4 local artists to create artworks specifical for the launch of the new Special Edition Designer Cans. L-R: Noric Ng, Rebisco Vice-President of Operations; Lady Luzano-Cruz, Category Manager; Roel Obemio, Artist; Migs Villanueva, Artist; Heart Evangelista, Host and Rebisco Ambassador; Lulu dela Peña, Marketing Communications Head; Chico Garcia, Host; Aris Bagtas, Artist; Joseph Bañez, Artist; Katherine Simundo, Rebisco Vice-President of Marketing

Last November 7, 2018, Rebisco celebrates its 55th anniversary and the growth of Rebisco parallels the Filipino culture. Over the past 55 years, Rebisco has grown into a formidable brand, thanks to the Filipino’s undying love and support, allowing it to grow into what it is today. As a fledgling company, Rebisco started with very simple offerings of biscuits and crackers packed into a can with images of the biscuits. Over time, the packaging evolved, soon showcasing family-themed art works as well.

Rebisco celebrates its anniversary by launching their newest special edition designer tin can, which serves as a canvas on which the Filipino story is printed. These miniature versions are designed to show how Rebisco is intertwined with the Filipino story, as captured in food practices and traditions illustrated by four highly acclaimed artists. In doing so, the well-loved tin can evolves into a canvas that fulfills the brand’s vision to recognize the work and talent of Filipino artists.

Heart Evengelista-Escudero & DJ Chico Garcia

During the celebration I had a chance to meet the four of the country’s talented contemporary artists bybeautifully using the tin can as the canvas through which they can capture local color.
