Discover the Perfect Blend of Comfort and Convenience in The Suites at Torre Lorenzo Malate

 

New HOTEL ALERT ! ! !

Locals and tourists who are looking to get a taste of the complete Manila getaway experience are in for a treat with the opening of The Suites at Torre Lorenzo Malate on June 2023. The latest property managed by The Ascott Limited Philippines is a premier serviced residence catered to give locals and tourists safe, comfortable accommodation to call home while exploring Manila’s culture and attractions.

 

The Suites at Torre Lorenzo Malate is designed for guests who want to unwind following a long day of exploring Manila’s historical landmarks, museums, restaurants, and other tourist hotspots. Located within just a close radius of the property, awaits a foodie’s ultimate dining experience. Guests can experience a diverse lineup of restaurants, including Japanese cuisine from Tanabe, the Mediterranean restaurant Al Bahr Al Ahmar, and local favorite Jim’s Pares Mami.

 

Travelers who want to channel their inner history buff can also take advantage of the property’s proximity to Intramuros. The history-filled walled city that stood as the center of Spanish colonialism during the occupation of the Philippines is filled with significant locations that pay tribute to the country’s cultural heritage. Some of the most well-renowned destinations within Intramuros are Fort Santiago, Casa Manila, and Baluarte de San Diego.

 

Another must-visit location close to the property is Rizal Park. Highly considered the most historical landmark in the Philippines, guests can pay homage to the country’s national hero, Jose Rizal, at the actual location where he made his last stand.

 

For aesthetes who want a glimpse of the country’s history in the art scene, the National Museum of the Philippines houses a wide range of well-preserved and intricate pieces that showcases generations worth of talent. Located directly next to Rizal Park, guests can immerse themselves in the glory of Philippine Artwork completely free of charge.

 

Once all the exploring is out of the way and guests are looking for a breather, the new serviced

residence can provide a safe haven. Whether in a Studio Executive, One- or Two-bedroom Deluxe, guests will have access to a fully equipped kitchen and a view overlooking the city of Manila.

 

 

 

Just as with the beauty of city exploration, The Suites at Torre Lorenzo Malate is also ready and well-furnished with tasteful decorations and modern facilities to provide stylish travelers with the best treatment within its walls. For guests who are looking for an active way to relax or stay on track with their workout routine, the Fitness Centre is fully-equipped to accommodate their needs.

 

Guests who are looking to celebrate a special occasion can also make the most of the rooftop function room called the Sky Lounge which overlooks Manila Bay. Once everyone starts feeling the heat and wants to cool off, the property’s swimming pool is the perfect spot to relax and keep the fun going.

 

“We are excited to welcome residents to The Suites and provide them with a comfortable and secure living environment,” said Joyce Agsaway, Residence Manager of The Suites Torre Lorenzo Malate. “We believe that The Suites is the perfect space for students, locals, and international travelers looking to experience the best that Manila has to offer.”

 

The serviced residence is set to open its doors to guests in June 2023, and reservations are now open for bookings. For updates and inquiries, visit The Suites at Torre Lorenzo Malate’s official website.

Breaking the Cycle: This is Your Sign to Stop Bad Habits That Can Affect Your Health

 

Habits essentially determine how good or bad we live our lives. Some people may develop good ones that spawn healthier practices and routines, but some develop to bad ones, ruining their well-being.

 

Breaking bad habits can be challenging, but it's a critical step towards living a healthier life. Unfortunately, many people struggle with this process and often find themselves stuck in a cycle of unhealthy behaviors. This can lead to serious health problems like obesity, heart disease, and cancer.

 

Gladly, Santé, a premier natural health and wellness product and services provider, is here to empower people to break the cycle and start their Santé Nutripair habit that enables people to do more and live more. Here are some tips to help you unleash the best version of yourself.

 

Acknowledge your bad habits. The first step in breaking a bad habit is to identify what it is. Take a moment to reflect on your daily tasks and consider any activities or behaviors that may negatively impact your health. This could be anything from snacking on junk food to sitting for extended periods or scrolling through social media for hours. Acknowledging your bad habits allows you to take accountability for your actions and be stronger than your inner battles.

 

Set realistic goals for yourself. Once you've identified the habit, it's time to set a goal for yourself. Start by making your goal specific, measurable, and achievable. For example, if your goal is to quit smoking, you could set a plan to reduce your smoking gradually so that you can eventually stop altogether.

 

Remember, it is no use to rush and pressure yourself into breaking these habits. You must also acknowledge that there's no one-way process to break out of it. Go easy, and eventually, everything will fall into place.

 

Invest in new and healthy hobbies. Breaking a bad habit can be challenging, but it's often more manageable if you have something else to focus on. For instance, if you're trying to quit snacking on junk food, you could replace it with healthier snacks such as fruits, vegetables, or nuts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can include Santé Nutripair in your daily healthy habit to boost your health further. The Santé Nutripair bundle, which combines Daily-C and Santé Barley, can boost your health and immunity in just one pair. You get the best of both worlds by being healthy while breaking the cycle of bad habits.

 

Build a strong support system. Breaking a bad habit can be difficult, but it can be easier when people support you. Consider seeking support from family, friends, or even a professional, such as a therapist or a coach. Having someone to hold you accountable and provide encouragement can make all the difference.

 

And once you gather all the courage to break the cycle, you can inspire your loved ones to live more and do more together with Santé Nutripair. Show them you care by helping them realize the benefits of applying Daily C and Santé Barley in their daily habit.

 

"Breaking the cycle of bad habits takes a lot of courage. But one can conquer them with enough support internally and externally. In Santé, we want to empower people to start a change for themselves and their loved ones with the help of our health and wellness products," said Joey Marcelo, chief executive officer of Santé.    

 

Santé is one of the leading global manufacturers of products with organic barley grass (certified organic by BioGro) grown and harvested from New Zealand. With its mission to help people live better lives, the company promotes, produces, and distributes premier natural health and wellness products and services. Santé reminds everyone to only buy Santé products from legitimate business owners and resellers and report counterfeits.

Simpler and Faster File Sharing with Galaxy’s Quick Share

 

Transferring files between devices can take much time and energy, but Samsung Electronics has simplified the file sharing process. For Galaxy users looking to share photos, videos and various files with other Galaxy devices, smartphones or PCs, the Quick Share feature, introduced in 2020, is streamlining file transferring functionality.

 

Offering enhanced usability and simplicity, Samsung’s flagship file sharing feature enables the quick sharing of all file types, from simple photos and memos to large videos and business documents requiring increased security.

 

Here’s how Samsung Quick Share makes it easier to share files from your Samsung Galaxy device:

 

Galaxy's Flagship File Sharing Function: Quick Share

 

1. File Corruption is a Thing of the Past with Quick Share

When meeting friends after not seeing them for a long time, capturing memories of your time spent together is essential. However, if the Gallery app on your smartphone fills up with photos while spending quality time with friends, there is no need to worry. To avoid the hassle of uploading all the photos to a messaging app or email and downloading them again, Quick Share provides simple file transfer in a matter of seconds.

 

The biggest advantage of Quick Share is that users can quickly share photos with nearby Galaxy devices in just a few taps regardless of the number and size of the files. With a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection, users can send files to up to eight people at a time.

 

Receiving files through Quick Share is simple, from set up to sending and reception. In order to use Quick Share, swipe down from the top of the screen of your Galaxy device and tap on the Quick Share icon from Quick Settings.

 

For those looking to try out Quick Share, here is how to use the feature in just a few, easy steps:

 

① Select the file to share 🡪 click Quick Share

 

Select a picture or video in the Gallery app or a file in a folder, and then click the Share icon. After pressing the Quick Share icon in the pop-up window, available Galaxy devices that can accept shared files appear.

② Select Galaxy user to transfer files → Receiving party accepts files

 

Galaxy devices that can accept files are listed according to sharing preferences that the user has set in advance. When the other Galaxy device accepts the file transfer, the file is sent immediately. These shared files can be immediately found in the Quick Share folder created in the Gallery app without a separate download process.

When using Quick Share with non-Galaxy users, a Galaxy user can select the file they want to share via Quick Share and choose from the following options: Copy link, Share in an app and Share using QR code. If the user chooses to share the file using a QR code, the recipient can simply copy or scan the code and receive the file instantly on their smartphone or device. Additionally, files uploaded to the Samsung Cloud can be shared with others as well.

If Share in an app is selected, the link can be sent via a messenger right away, making it an effective way to share files to multiple people at once in a group chat room. Additionally, users can send original photos and videos in high quality without worrying about deteriorated image quality due to file compression.

 

It is also worth noting that files uploaded to Samsung Cloud are automatically deleted after a certain period, improving security and user convenience.

 

3. Share Quickly With A Range of Devices Such as Tablets and Laptops

Quick Share can be used on any Galaxy device that comes with the feature. The instant file sharing feature allows files to move freely across smartphones, Galaxy tablets and Galaxy Books.

 

Sharing files between different types of Galaxy devices is also easy and frictionless. To send a file from your Galaxy smartphone to your Galaxy Book, all you need to do is activate the Quick Share feature on both devices before selecting the files and recipient using Quick Share.

 

Share Safely by Doubling Security With Private Share

When sharing files containing important personal or financial information, Samsung’s Private Share is there to help you share files securely.

 

Unlike Quick Share, which uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections, Private Share supports file encryption by utilizing blockchain. Users can send a variety of files through Private Share, including images, video, audio and documents. 20 files of up to 200MB in total can be sent at once to a designated recipient using a phone number and identification number.

 

▲ With Private Share, users can control how long recipients have access for and set an expiration date.

 

▲ Private Share allows users to revoke access to shared files even after they have been sent.

 

The most notable feature of Private Share is that users can control the recipient’s access permission and the file’s expiration date. Prior to sharing, users can set the amount of time a file can be viewed as well as how the recipient can use the files. Users can also adjust the settings and revoke sharing permissions even after the files have been sent.

 

▲ Private Share prevents recipients from capturing screenshots of shared files, keeping them secure.

 

Additionally, the sender can check whether the recipient has received the files as well as if and when they opened them. To ensure confidentiality, secure files cannot be downloaded, and screenshots cannot be taken, preventing files from being shared to parties that have not received access.

 

In addition to Quick Share and Private Share, Galaxy users can also use other file sharing methods, such as Dropship as well as Nearby Share, allowing users to send content how and when they want.

 

▲ Sharing photos between Galaxy users using Quick Share

 

From sharing important files in business environments to sharing photos and videos with loved ones, Samsung Galaxy’s Quick Share and Private Share features are enabling increasingly smooth communication in the digital era with their convenience, safety and wide usability.

Available in three storage options, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is priced at PHP 81,990 (256GB), PHP 89,990 (512GB), and PHP 95,990 (1TB).

Meet Mompreneur Extraordinaire, Ana Lustre-Malijan

 

For the longest time, mothers stood as the embodiment of love and the pillars of every home.  With the constantly evolving landscape of the world, women are also looking for new ways to revolutionize the way mothers are perceived. What was once considered an industry dominated by men is now slowly being conquered by creative mom innovators in business.

 

Enter Ana Lustre-Malijan, a wife, mother, and business owner from Palawan. In a world littered with fierce competition, Ana solidified her status as an established entrepreneur while staying active and involved in the lives of her family.

 

Redefining What Moms Are Capable of

Like other business owners, Ana’s entrepreneurial venture was a result of interest, innovation, and a passion for the nostalgic. Her dream came to fruition with the establishment of Frotea, a frozen yogurt and milk tea business. Frotea was the love child of the factors Ana held dear, and it was further strengthened by her children’s affinity for milk tea drinks.

 

With the branding and product of her business being well-established, Ana knew the road to success would come with its fair share of challenges. Despite the obstacles, Ana was well-equipped to execute and establish a business virtually from scratch.

 

Following years of hard work and dedication, Ana has created a business that took Palawan’s milk tea industry by storm. Frotea has become one of the most recognizable brands in the province. Along with this recognition, the brand’s expansions don’t seem to just stop in Palawan but are continuously growing in numerous locations around Metro Manila. With Ana’s commitment to turning Frotea into a regional sensation, there’s no doubt she can achieve further greatness in the years to come.

 

While Frotea’s future is undoubtedly bright, a lot of its success can be attributed to Ana’s entrepreneurial spirit and ambition despite being a full-time mother. Ana Lustre-Malijan is the embodiment of a mompreneur: bold, ambitious, resilient, and creative. Fellow mompreneurs in the country echo her perseverance and success. This Mother’s Day, share a Frotea with all supermoms, and remember to use this moment to make them feel as special as the way they made us feel throughout our lives.

With irresistibly delicious milk tea drinks and fruit juices made with authentic ingredients from Taiwan, Frotea offers beverages to fit every unique lifestyle. Founded in 2012 in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Frotea is rapidly expanding now with 23 branches in Luzon and Visayas.

Pinoys love their Nanays: GrabAds insights show how busy Filipinos get around Mother’s Day

 

Having close family ties is one of the hallmarks of Filipino culture. Hence, it comes as no surprise that holidays celebrating the family unit are much beloved in the Philippines. Among the most anticipated is Mother’s Day – and insights from GrabAds, the advertising arm of the leading superapp, show that Pinoys do get busy creating special moments for their nanays every second Sunday of May.

 

The GrabAds SEA Mother’s Day Insights Report 2023 gives brands and consumers a clear picture of how Grab – with its portfolio of convenient, reliable services like GrabFood, GrabMart and GrabExpress – enables and empowers users to create extra-special Mother’s Day celebrations for their moms.

 

Here are some interesting insights from the report!

 

1. Filipinos plan for Mother’s Day

Filipinos take Mother’s Day celebrations seriously. In fact, 88 percent of Grab users in the Philippines have already come up with plans specific to Mother’s Day 2023^[1]. The respondents look forward most to gathering their families, ordering food online, and going out for a meal together with their loved ones and, of course, their inays.

 

2. Filipinos order food and ship out items a lot more on Mother’s Day

GrabAds insights also show that Filipinos are happy to create special dining experiences at home as they tend to order more on the second Sunday of May. In 2022, GrabFood orders rose by 25 percent on Mother’s Day versus the average number of food orders across all Sundays of April^[2]. The most expensive GrabFood order on Mother’s Day last year was a Php 7,000 steak set^[3] –  a much-deserved treat for the family!

 

Padala items also tend to be on the road more during Mother’s Day. For instance, last 08 May 2022, there were 37 percent more GrabExpress Deliveries versus the average Express Orders on the Sundays of the month prior^[4]. Indeed, no distance is wide enough to stop the simple thank yous and love yous Filipinos wish to express to their moms.

 

3. Filipinos enjoy ordering on-demand gifts on Mother’s Day

Gifts overflow during Mother’s Day, too! 8 out of 10 Grab users in the Philippines plan on buying their moms a gift, and 82 percent of these are keen on buying a gift from Grab^[1]. Among the most popular choices on GrabFood and GrabMart during Mother’s Day last year were cakes and pastries, flower bouquets, and home and kitchen appliances. Chocolate, ube, and fresh fruit reigned supreme as the top preferred cake flavors^[2].

 

Truly, with reliable and convenient on-demand delivery services like GrabFood and GrabMart, gifts no longer come with the usual long queues, heavy traffic, and aisle-to-aisle exploration in-store. 

 

“Mother’s Day remains to be one of the most important gifting occasions in Southeast Asia. Our GrabAds report shows a surge in user activity one week before the day itself, across the region, as people start looking for ways to make this day extra special for their loved ones," said Jennie Johnson, Head of Regional Marketing, GrabAds. “This Mother’s Day, merchants and brands across the region have the opportunity to connect with consumers looking for the perfect gift for their mom via superapps like Grab”

 

Creating a special Mother’s Day celebration should be easy and hassle-free –  and Grab makes sure of this. With the wide merchant selection and reliable on-demand delivery services of both GrabFood and GrabMart, you can easily pick and order mom’s faves for an intimate family dinner; or even include special add-ons just to express how much you treasure her.
