Cebu City: Home of urban achievers

MANILA, Philippines - There is no surprise why the number of promising personalities and celebrated achievers continue to grow in an ethnically diverse city like Cebu. With its rich history and culture, Cebuanos are continuously inspired by the success of their homeland.

As a home of distinguished urban achievers—people who thrive in today’s fast-paced world—the Queen City of the South takes pride in their continuous success. With the accomplishments of urbanites like Monique Lhuillier, Philip Rodriguez, and Kenneth Cobonpue pave the way for Cebu City as well as the whole country to become recognized across the globe.

Fashion designer Monique Lhuillier has dressed world-renowned stars Sharon Stone, Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears and Lea Salonga and is now globally recognized for her intricate masterpieces. Meanwhile, Philip Rodriguez, known as “Cebu’s Fashion Czar”, is known in the industry for dressing global dignitaries. Among them are Former Presidents Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Corazon Cojuangco Aquino, Her Majesty Queen Lankhabule of Swaziland and His Royal Highness Prince Bolkiah of Brunei.

But Cebu does not only flourish in terms of fashion. Being a hotbed of talented Filipinos, the city is also known as the homeland of the remarkable Kenneth Cobonpue, whose blend of style, function, and art in the field of furniture design, paved the way for global fame. His work has been featured in several foreign films and shows, with a star-studded list of clients that include Lucy Liu, Angelina Jolie, and Brad Pitt. Recently, Cobonpue teamed up with Albrecht Birkner to launch the world’s first biodegradable car made of rattan, bamboo, steel, and nylon.

Monique Lhuillier, Jun Escario, and Kenneth Cobonpue are just some of the inspired geniuses from Cebu that have bannered Cebuano talent and pride on a global scale. And as they continue to break the boundaries of possibility across different industries, it comes as no surprise, Ayala Land’s standard bearer of innovation, Alveo Land, is introducing their brand of living into the Queen City of the South.

Located in the thriving district of Cebu Business Park, Sedona Parc rises in the city’s most desirable address, where Ayala Center Cebu, Cebu City Marriott Hotel, and the City Sports Club are located. With the neighboring 3,000 meter park that gives a relaxing panorama of greens, Sedona Parc innovatively balances sophistication with a designer parkside living experience.

“Sedona Parc offers its future residences privacy and exclusivity with 114 units.
