We had an afternoon spent with Elaine Cooper when she launched her “Elaine Cooper Interior” at her new place in IT Park.

Elaine Cooper is the principal designer and entrepreneur of Elaine Cooper Interiors. She is a graduate of Fashion Design in Slim’s School of Fashion in Manila.

For over 26 years, Elaine Cooper has had a hand in creating casual clothes to bridal gowns to hotels and office uniforms. Because of her exposure and passion for arts, she naturally evolved into interiors by doing soft furnishings such as window treatments and upholstery work under Cooper and Albert before she decided to create Elaine Cooper Interiors in 2008.

Since then, she has specialized in custom-fit interiors for both corporate and personal spaces, refurbishing flats and residences by creating a distinct modern look to draperies in the city’s top hotels like Cebu City Marriot Hotel and Radisson Blu Hotel Cebu. For more information, one may call Elaine Cooper at telephone 318-1456.

Dr. Warfe Engrancia was the guest speaker during the 120th Anniversary of the Martyrdom of National Hero Dr. Jose P. Rizal. As the Chapter Commander of the Knights of Rizal, Dr. Engracia had the privilege of reciting one of the world’s best composition, the “Mi Ultimo Adios” by which, because of his delivery that came from the heart and calling upon the spirit of the Supremo, those who were in attendance were moved to tears.

“It is indeed very important to commemorate and honor our beloved hero who exemplifies the great Filipino values, talents and traits. One of the greatest models whom our youth can get valuable lessons from…,” added Dr. Warfe Engracia.

Mama Sita Foundation Spreads their  Signature Flavor

Filipino households will not be complete without the signature touch of Filipino cuisine made famous by the popular food icon Teresita “Mama Sita” Reyes. For over 100 years, Mama Sita has touched more than millions of Filipinos through her products, and now, she continues to widen her reach through her well-loved recipes.

Last July 4, 2016, The Mama Sita Foundation, led by Mrs. Clara R. Lapus, President, donated sets of cookbooks and commemorative stamps to the National Library of the Philippines (NLP). These cookbooks, were to be made accessible to the public in order for them to know more about Filipino recipes and produce more delicious dishes right from their home.

Other attendees include notable chefs, Chef Rosauro “Sau” del Rosario, Chefs Jester Arellano and Josen Villongco from the College of St. Benilde, and Chef Raymond Mendoza and Mr. Leroy Borrega from Lyceum of the Philippine University as well as other important stakeholders of the foundation: Ms. Phye Yabut, and Ms. Chuchay V. Andrada.

Aside from donations to the NLP, the Mama Sita Foundation is also visiting libraries across the country.
