MEET SigeGo: THE OMNICHANNEL TRAVEL AND LIFESTYLE PLATFORM

Consumers today demand convenience and best-in-class digital experiences from all the apps they use, so it is no wonder brands are increasingly looking to adopt a platform mindset to how they interact and service their customers. 

This change is exactly what the SigeGo team had in mind with their new lifestyle platform: “SigeGo is poised to be the super omnichannel platform of the Philippines. Powered by the technology of Simplenight, it allows anyone to book an experience in a matter of clicks and swipes in a way the country has never seen before,” said David Palmieri, President and CEO of SigeGo and acting Chief Commercial Officer of Simplenight. “We envisioned an omnichannel platform that will be every Filipino’s go-to for everything and anything under the sun with its impeccable user experience, wide breadth of bookable products and services, and proud Filipino roots.” 

After its full launch in October, Filipinos can begin seamlessly booking flights, accommodations, tours and activities, appointments, dinner reservations and more via the SigeGo platform. Users can tick off a plethora of items; from cultural hotspots and outdoor activities within the Philippines to popular destinations outside the country like South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and beyond. “Whether it’s your bucket list or your to-do list, SigeGo makes it easy for you to find, book, and just go,” Mr. Palmieri affirmed.

SigeGo had its debut event at the Revel at the Palace in BGC. The occasion was hosted by car aficionado James Deakin with entertainment from DJ Ace Ramos and Ronnie Orallo, and was well-attended by prominent figures from both the public and private sectors as well as suppliers that distribute their services through SigeGo. “The night was about getting everyone together to introduce SigeGo and give people a taste of how big this thing will get and just how much of an impact it will have,” Palmieri remarked. “Guests in attendance gained access to the Beta version of the platform, where they could be a part of the initial Beta soft launch so that the Filipinos can help take us through the last mile, give us their feedback, and truly make it their own.”

The SigeGo app will be downloadable from both Apple’s App Store and Android’s Google Play in October.

GrabShare Expands to more Metro Manila Cities

MANILA, PHILIPPINES, 09 March 2023 – Grab Philippines officially brings GrabShare to more cities in Metro Manila. The carpooling service – which had its pilot run in Makati, BGC, Manila and select areas in Ortigas in 2022 – is now also available in Mandaluyong, Pasig, San Juan, Pateros, and select areas in Paranaque and Quezon City. 

GrabShare makes the same convenience and reliability of GrabCar more accessible and affordable for the Filipino commuter. With GrabShare, passengers can enjoy as much as 30 percent lower fares on Grab. The service’s passenger-matching feature was also further optimized to ensure that the party is headed in the same direction to avoid surprise detours, hence improving overall shared-ride duration. 

Grab Philippines Senior Director for Strategy and Operations Ronald Roda shares:

“Every Filipino deserves unfettered access to safe, reliable, and more affordable means of transportation, and we are fully committed to help make that a reality for everyone. We are optimistic that as we expand GrabShare’s service areas to more cities in Metro Manila, we are staying true to our commitment – continuing to play an active role in providing a better mobility experience for everyone.”

The leading super app is also working on bringing GrabShare to cities outside of Metro Manila. With the growing availability of the service, Grab Philippines reminds its passengers to continue practicing health and safety protocols while on the road. This includes the wearing of face mask and regular hand sanitation.

BGC Is Bridging the Arts and Sciences with the Ultimate Indi e Weekend

Putting up a local feast for the mind and soul, the Ultimate Indie Weekend in Bonifacio Global City will bring a two-fold Independence Day celebration on June 10 – 11, 2017 with the Philippine’s first Manila Mini Maker Faire and the 2^nd BGC Arts Center Festival “BGC Loves Local.”

And with The Mind Museum on its 5th year and the newly created BGC Arts Center, we are even more inspired to rally this science-and-arts bridge to help in nation-building and culture-making”, explains Maria Isabel Garcia, Curator of The Mind Museum and Head of Content of the BGC Arts Program. 

Groups of homegrown creative artists, scientists, and engineers are expected to come together in this one rare weekend event. “This fantastic weekend is for everyone – families, friends -  everyone curious as to how the arts and the sciences are connected and how these fields talk to each other to serve our lives better. This is the kind of weekend who has engineers, artists and performers to give us fascinating technologies and uplifting performances that could improve the quality of our days – which is the greatest form that art and science could take,” adds Garcia.

Aiming to keep art alive and accessible through various cultural activities, BAFI champions public art - through murals, ArtMart, BGC Impromptu, public performances - as an essential part of community life. The BGC Arts Center is committed to offer the breadth and depth of Filipino artistry to the community.

Exciting Condo Projects to Look Forward in 2017

As Philippine real estate continues to flourish, developers all over the country are giving their best to provide the most unique real estate projects that match the evolving needs of Filipino homebuyers. For 2017, another batch of fresh and exciting properties will once again change the Philippine real estate landscape.

In Metro Manila, a couple of exciting developments will open this 2017. Taguig alone will welcome a vibrant mix of residential properties from top real estate companies. Megaworld, the real estate arm of business mogul Andrew Tan, will welcome the first residents of its Venice Luxury Residences and The Viceroy, both of which are in the developer’s mixed-use McKinley Hill township in Fort Bonifacio.

Venice Luxury Residences is a three-tower Italian-inspired high-rise condo development. Sitting right next to the Venetian Grand Canal Mall, it offers executive studios and one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, ranging in size from 39 to 120 sqm. The Viceroy, on the other hand, is a much more affordable option offering studios and one-bedroom apartments, and is geared towards young professionals. Also in McKinley Hill, this four-tower condo high-rise is expected to be turned over in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Avida Land, a subsidiary of property giant Ayala Land, will complete and turn over this 2017 its newest residential offering, the Avida Towers Verte at the corner of 9th Avenue and 34th Street in Bonifacio Global City (BGC). A variation of the Spanish word, “to see” Avida Towers Verte is carefully designed to maximize the optimum views of the greens and wide spaces of the northern section of BGC. Avida Towers Verte is slated for turnover in December 2017.

Also in BGC, Madison Park West of Federal Land will also open its doors to its first occupants come 2017. Located in Federal Land’s BGC development Veritown Fort, Madison Park West is a luxury condo that boasts very unique features, including some units with their very own wine cellars!

Six Senses Resort, also developed by Federal Land, is likewise set to welcome its first residents in 2017. Located along Macapagal Boulevard in the Bay Area in Pasay, residents of this condo project are also automatically members of the elite Club Metropark, the premier amenity deck of the development.

Further down south, a Megaworld township project will complete its residential component this 2017. Poised to be the Beverly Hills of the South, Alabang West is one of the much-awaited real estate developments in Las Piñas.

Even outside Metro Manila, new real estate projects are set to open come 2017. Cebu for one will welcome a new prime residential spot in the second quarter of 2017. The first building of the five-tower condo complex by Alveo Land will offer city resort living like no other. Located within Ayala Land’s 50-hectare Cebu Business Park in downtown Cebu City, Solinea the multi-tower development, all which share a central amenity area that resembles a resort in the middle of a bustling city.

Iloilo, on the other hand, will be greeted by a new residential building: Megaworld’s One Madison Place, scheduled for turnover this 2017. This three-tower cluster of 10-story condos follows a modern contemporary theme and will offer ultimate luxury to Iloilo residents. One Madison Place is located within the 72-hectare Iloilo Business Park, one of Megaworld’s integrated townships in Western Visayas.

Empire East, the affordable arm of Megaworld, also has a list of residential towers that are set to open next year: San Lorenzo Place at the corner of Chino Roces Avenue and EDSA in Makati, Pioneer Woodlands in Mandaluyong, Kasara Urban Resort Residences and the Rochester Garden in Pasig, Little Baguio Residences in San Juan, and Manhattan Garden City in Quezon City. These fresh additions in the affordable category will give more chances to Filipinos to finally get that first home investment.

Still a Walk in the Park in Aeternum Garden

The experience was far different from what we saw all over news the past weekend where there were traffic jams, no parking space, place to buy food you need is too far, missing children, being too crowded and other similar inconveniences challenged the people who visited the cemeteries and columbariums around Metro Manila. I had the chance to visit Aeternum Garden once again and I'm glad I did.

Just like what I've mentioned in my previous article on Aeternum where I watched in amazement for the second time on how beautiful and peaceful the park is but this time there were more people around visiting their departed love onces.

food tent by alice http://photoescape06.blogspot.com/

Traffic flow when I went there wasn't really bad at all(afternoon), you will not get hungry nor thirsty if you or your family didn't bring enough food or water because there is a food tent next to the Chapel of Aeternum Park. I also like the way that the tents where setup in and around the Columbarium of Aeternum where the families can stay. And lastly, I like the part that they setup the high definition screen for movie nights which they had from Friday til Sunday.

This visit was really awesome! On all those times I've stayed in it, I didn't feel any weight or sadness in the atmosphere, it still feels like a walk in a park.
