The road to saying the sweetest “I Do” in your life is one that any couple have to be ready for. It is not just a simple decision, but something that needs a lot of preparations.

  Luckily, for those who are currently working hard for their dream weddings to come true, Robinsons Galleria Cebu is holding a Wedding Gallery this February 13 to 15 — while all the love from Valentine’s Day is still in the air.

  From gowns and tuxedos, reception venues, photography and videography services, down to wedding cakes, the Wedding Gallery has it all for soon to be married couples.

  According to Joanna Salazar, Group Marcomm Manager of Robinsons Land Corp., they chose to hold the Wedding Gallery on February in time for Valentine’s Day. "It is the perfect time to celebrate the culmination of love this love month,” she said.

   Wedding Suppliers at the exhibit include Bernardo Flores, Carlo Abaquita, CDI Designs, City Cakes Cebu, Danny Boom, Dino Lloren Edward, James Castro, Edwin Alba, Forever Young Spa, GAC Wedding Errands, Helium Hearts, JF Touch by Janna Fernando, Lane of Cakes, and Macaron 5.

   March Tan-Geson, Michel’s Wine, MW Studios Photography and Media Services, Onesimus, Protacio, Providore, Rei Escario, Ren Manabat, Robinsons Department Store, Summit Galleria Cebu, Valerie Alvez, Wendell Quisido, and Yoko Sato complete the wedding exhibit which is held at the Atrium of Robinsons Galleria Cebu.

   While most wedding exhibits usually always highlight wedding gowns in a fashion show, the Wedding Gallery is doing things differently.

    Instead, a Groom’s Fashion Show on February 15 at 4 P.M. in the Robinsons Galleria Cebu Atrium took place. 

     Designs by the like of Edwin Alba, Danny Booc, Rei Escario, Bernardo Flores, Marichu Tan-Geson, Dino Lloren, Onesimus, Protacio, and Wendell Quisido will be feature during the Groom’s Fashion Show.

      The Groom’s Wear creations of Cebuano designers were worn by some of the prime models and beauty pageant holders in Cebu. Among the male models are top finalists of Ginoong Pilipinas Cebu 2019, including the newly-crowned Misters of the World Lorenzo Isip.
  Meanwhile, Binibining Cebu 2018 Steffi Aberasturi was the darling of the night owning and closing the show with a creation of Marichu Tan-Geson.

Manila, Philippines -- In order to stimulate interest and support from leading companies in the country, officials from the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (CCCI) went on a 4-day roadshow in Manila.

Representatives from companies like Microsoft Philippines, PLDT Enterprise, Unionbank, Amazon Web Services and Grab Philippines met with CCCI officials in separate visits to discuss possible collaborations and partnerships for the upcoming Cebu Business Month (CBM) 2020 this June.

“The Manila Roadshow was initiated for the purpose of maximizing our campaign of this year’s CBM and its lined up programs to its valued and prospective sponsors,” said CBM 2020 Overall Chairman Michael Cubos.

CBM 2020 Overall Chairman Michael Cubos and CCCI President Virgilio Espeleta led the team which conducted the roadshow last February 4, 5, 6 and 7. With them were CBM 2020 Vice Chairman Gerald Yuvallos, CBM 2020 Lead Advisor LiluAliño, CBM Division Head Maribel Melgar, and CBM Division Officer JovitoBocado.

Aside from the aforementioned companies, the team also met with representatives from BPI, Eastern Communicationtions, Animation Council of the Philippines, Manila Bulletin, The ABS-CBN News Channel, Prime Philippines, Philippines AirAsia, and Cebu Pacific Air.

Part of the roadshow was also a productive meeting with the Department of Tourism (DOT). The team personally presented CBM 2020 to Usec. Benito Bengzon, Jr., the Undersecretary of Tourism Development Planning.

Now on its 24th year, CBM 2020 is bannered with the theme “Bring IT On.” It is the flagship project of the CCCI and is slated every June of the year. A month-long list of activities that include conferences, seminars, workshops, mentoring sessions and similar activities have been lined up, all with the objective of inspiring, promoting and helping Cebu businesses grow.

The theme “Bring IT On” also serves as a battle cry to encourage, invite, and at the same time challenge everyone within the ecosystem to bring what they can offer to fill the needs of Cebu businesses and be part of the solution.

     The first month of 2020 brought some sting which made me ache for some rosy moments. I thank the universe for being such an ardent listener for I had the chance to spend the second day of the second month of 2020 witnessing LANY perform live in our city. 

       I've heard many good things about the band and though I'm not one of its biggest fans, I do adore their music. I would say that theirs' is something that is definitely fun to listen to. Even if most of their songs pertain to the pain which comes from loving dearly, they still give that feel good and chill vibe. Listening to LANY's music feels like being in an open car with your friends heading somewhere wild for a long weekend, with the carefree zephyr freeing your hair, all of such against cotton candy skies as your backdrop. Ah, such a marvelous thought to ponder! Fortunately, I got the closest thing to such which is being able to witness the band perform live during the annual Plus63 Music and Arts Festival.

  Plus63 is a music and arts festival which started in 2016. it aims to support local talents and musicians by giving them the opportunity to perform alongside the world’s top performers. It seeks to be a staple event in Cebu, highlighting great music, great food, and an unforgettable experience which is something that I truly support! I couldn't be any happier that the event went successfully. To say that witnessing LANY among Cebuano musicians perform is fun would be an understatement. It was more than what we have expected which we would surely treasure as one of the most memorable events of this year. Of course, something good must be shared which is why I'm sharing some of my favorite shots of the night in this blog post. Enjoy xoxo 🌹

My #SugDi friends are awesome! They rock just like LANY's concert. 
Capturing the moments but living life ❤️
Here are few of the many things that I love about the concert:
1. The venue is clean, spacious, and has good bathroom facilities. They even provided free rubbing alcohol for bathroom users. The vvip area where we stayed is secured and filled with good drinks. Kudos to the guards!
2. Just like the vvip area, the whole concert ground is safe and secured. All bags were checked and security personnel were all over the place during the entire event.
3. The fans - LANY has wonderful Cebuano fans. It can be noted by how peaceful the night went by. Plus, they sang so well with LANY's hits.
4. I wasn't expecting a grand fireworks display, but Plus63 was able to pull it off so well when LANY sang their last hit which is ILYSB (I love you so bad). Everything feels surreal and magical that even those who didn't know the song fell in love with the night.
5. LANY and their music. Need I to say more? Listen to their melody and you'll know what I'm saying. Some of my favorite songs by them are Malibu Nights, ILYSB, so Far, and Thick and Thin. ✨

Big kudos to the organisers of the event for a job well-done. They've just released an official statement for another Plus63 moment for 2021. I hope they'll bring us exciting musical talents, local and international artists alike. I would probably die to know if either Lana Del Rey or Billie Eilish would be on stage!

Til' next year!
