A five-star suburbia

The vision of a meticulously conceived living space and finished with the most novel amenities imaginable will soon take shape at Filinvest City in Alabang, Muntinlupa City.

 The Botanika Nature Residences is the pilot project of Filinvest Alabang Inc. (FAI) for its ultra high-end category of prime developments aptly named the Exclusive Collection. It is literally a modern-day paradise with its lush village charm, authentic green living and a host of distinctly upscale conveniences and amenities.

The billion-peso project was launched in fitting ceremonies led by the forward-thinking FAI president and CEO Josephine Gotianun-Yap and Gotianun patriarch Filinvest Development Corp. chairman emeritus Andrew Gotianun Sr., with Muntinlupa City Mayor Jaime Fresnedi headlining the guest list.

Nothing comes close to nature’s grand design as the three iconic, leaf-shaped, mid-rise towers of Botanika. It is a masterful creation from a unique collaboration among the geniuses in design, architecture and technology of international caliber. 

This is definitely my kind of town!

A gift of music

Filipino perfume icon and philanthropist Joel Cruz could not have chosen a better time and venue (the Cultural Center of the Philippines) when he decided to give back to the community during the 13th anniversary celebration of Central Affirmative Co. Inc. The company manufactures the trailblazing brand Aficionado Germany Perfume.

A highlight of the program was “A Concert of Gift and Joy,” a benefit concert headlined by two of the country’s most popular artists: singer-songwriter Gary Valenciano and international singing sensation Charice. All proceeds went to the select beneficiaries that included Joel’s newly launched Joel S. Cruz Aficionado Foundation Inc.

Congratulations and more power to Central Affirmative Co. Inc. and Signatures by Joel Cruz Inc. president and CEO Joel Cruz!
