Luxury living at the heart of Makati

Continuing to lead the pack in the local property scene is the country’s premiere real estate developer Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC) headed by president and COO Frederick Go, as it organized an exclusive dinner for the investors of Signa Designer Residences, the company’s Makati-based project under its Robinsons Luxuria brand. Dubbed as the Philippines’ first designer residences, this prime development boasts of artistic and tropical-inspired architecture made by three renowned Filipino designers – interior designer Budji Layug, architect Royal Pineda and furniture designer Kenneth Cobonpue. Located along Rufino Street in Salcedo Village, Makati City, Signa Designer Residences is comprised of two residential towers that display chic taste and modern sensibilities from the inside out. The one-of-a-kind affair, held at the Ballroom 3 of Mandarin Oriental Manila, also featured an exhibit of the remarkable paintings of the notable Chan Lim Family of Artists that depicts the timeless and classic artistry of the East. In addition, guests got to witness a Chinese brush painting demonstration by master artist Dr. Alex Chan Lim. Congratulations to the untiring Robinsons Land Corp. team led by senior vice president Mybelle Aragon-Gobio and vice president for Sales and Marketing May Precilla for staging this successful event!

Another outstanding feat for Marco Polo Plaza Cebu

Reaffirming its place as one of the top hotels in Asia is the leading 5-star hotel in the Queen City of the South, Marco Polo Plaza Cebu (MPPC), as it won the 2013 Hotel of the Year award, besting all other properties of the Marco Polo Hotels (MPH) group. The said award is given to the hotel that exemplifies excellence in guest service, operational standards, associate management and financial results, all of which were demonstrated by MPPC in the midst of last year’s challenging times. An awarding ceremony was held during the 2014 MPH General Managers Conference in Hong Kong where MPH president Eric Waldburger handed out the award to the indefatigable MPPC general manager and Marco Polo Hotels, Philippines area general manager Hans Hauri. It is the second time that the 5-star hotel was given this recognition, first in 2006, the same year that MPPC opened. Congratulations to Hans Hauri and the entire Marco Polo Plaza Cebu team for this remarkable achievement!
