Asset Master is designed as a single-pay, investment-linked insurance plan that allows a person to build a diversified investment portfolio of local and global investments — a solid foundation on which to build a financial legacy.
“Asset Master is your gateway to truly diverse global investments. We want you to leave a lasting legacy for your loved ones so they can continue to live well after you’re gone,” says Rahul Hora, AXA Philippines president and chief executive officer.
True to the affair’s theme, guest speakers were invited to talk about the importance of leaving a lasting legacy. Entrepreneur Nico Moreno of homegrown watch brand Ibarra Watches, third-generation jewelry designer Janina Dizon, and renowned artist and glass sculptor Ramon Orlina — each highly successful in his/her field — shared their insights and personal experiences during the panel discussion.
A physicist by training, long-time watch aficionado Moreno thought of creating the first Filipino watch brand. “The scientist in me fell in love with the art of watchmaking,” Moreno says. “And, being a staunch nationalist and an admirer of Dr. Jose Rizal, I thought of the brand Ibarra (the main protagonist in one of Rizal’s famous novels, Noli Me Tangere).”
Dizon comes from a family of well-known jewellers and designers. Jewelry making is in her DNA. “It runs in my blood. My grandmother was a jeweller, a trade she passed on to my mother so I’m the third generation now,” says Dizon. “My mom would let me sit next to her in her shop, let me interact with her clients. I would also sort stones and count diamonds.”
Orlina is a licensed architect and practiced architecture before moving on to art. “When there was a decline in my architectural practice in the ’70s, I began to pursue art, which had always interested me. I started with painting on glass because modern architecture is steel and glass,” he says.
For these accomplished individuals, living well means being happy with what you do, having peace of mind, and enjoying a fulfilling family life.
Moreno says, “A happy worker enjoys what he’s doing,” while Dizon thinks, “Living well is having the luxury of time as well as being secure in whatever the future will bring.” For his part, Orlina says, "I’m pleased to have a happy married life, a wife who has been supportive, and kids who excel in their fields.”
To ensure that their respective legacies are preserved for the future, Moreno has a 10-year plan for his business, while Dizon feels it is vital for her children to carry on her mother’s legacy, especially now that the firm has marked its 40th anniversary. Orlina, on the other hand, opened a museum in Tagaytay City to showcase his works and those of other sculptors.

The leading Filipino restaurant that serves the No.1 chicken inasal, Mang Inasal is the go-to place for people seeking to satisfy their craving for a truly delicious Pinoy fare.
Aside from its flagship offering of the 2-in-1 sa Laki, Nuot sa Ihaw Sarap Chicken Inasal, Mang Inasal also offers Pinoy favorites such as Pork BBQ, Palabok, Lumpiang Togue, and Halo Halo.
And since Sisig is one of the most popular Filipino dishes, Mang Inasal added it in its menu as well a few years back, to provide more choices to the restaurant’s ever-growing number of customers. The fastfood chain even improved the dish’s serving and taste throughout the years.
A homegrown fare that traces its origins in Pampanga, Sisig was first defined in a Kapampangan dictionary in 1732 as a green fruit mixed with vinegar, salt, pepper and garlic. From being just a salad, Sisig has evolved over the years into a main dish with sizzling plate and chopped meat as its defining elements.
The Mang Inasal sizzling meaty sarap Pork Sisig is made of a generous serving of flavorful, tender and juicy pork chunks with yummy crunchy chicharon and tangy white onion. Offered as one of the fastfood’s PaboritoMeals (PM) for only P99, Mang Inasal Pork Sisig comes with a cup of rice, and an option to have unlimited servings of rice.
Mang Inasal Pork Sisig is perfect both as solo meal and for sharing with your family or barkada. And if you are more into seafood, there is also the Mang Inasal Bangus Sisig for you.
Probably the most scrumptious and affordable Sisig in the Philippines, Mang Inasal Pork Sisig might just be the ultimate Pinoy comfort food you are looking for. Definitely a must try!

- Pia Wurtzbach shares her Priceless Gift as she #Spreads100Hugs with Downy
- Watch this video diary and discover how the power of hugs can be more meaningful than the usual material gifts
Christmas is a festive celebration for Filipinos because it is a time to reconnect with the people that matter the most. And of course, what are celebrations without spending on traditional gifts? But do we always have to spend much on gifts to make it valuable? Pia Wurtzbach and Downy redefines gift-giving this Christmas with a simple yet meaningful gift idea — a hug.
Most people underestimate the power of a hug. A hug has the ability to affect us all, and facts attest to their incredible power on how it can make us feel warm and special. Renowned family therapist Virginia Satir famously stated, “We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.”
A study from Pennsylvania State University showed increased happiness among students who were asked to give or receive genuine, warm hugs at least five times a day over the course of four weeks. Similarly, a study from Carnegie Mellon University showed that adults who hugged more often were less likely to come down with a cold.
To let people discover the undeniable power of hugs, Downy, the leading global fabric softener launched their #Spread100Hugs campaign with Miss Universe 2015 and hug ambassadress, Pia Wurtzbach in the first ever hug-activated, Downy Scented Christmas Tree, which stands majestically at Eastwood Mall’s open park in Quezon City. Decked with red LED lights, the sea of red roses inside the 50 feet Scented Christmas Tree lights up when people inside hug each other inside the perfume-scented chamber.
The main inspiration of this Christmas tree takes from the luxurious fragrance of Downy. It takes essence from the smell of an endless field of flowers, to which is exactly what this tree is made of and something we recreated in a mirror room that’s right in the heart of this beautiful structure, and the opulent feel of velvet, a fabric which embodies softness, both wonderful elements to inspire a loving, hugging emotion.
To further show how hugs can bring about a spirit of positivity and make people happier, Downy has also released a video diary that showcased a variety of heart-warming stories of appreciation, reconciliation and reunion. It featured Pia Wurtzbach in a hugging tour around the Metro, showing her affection and appreciation to friends who have stood by her throughout the years, including her glam team, former classmates, fans, and her mentor, Tito Nad Bronce. And of course, her last hug, a special and meaningful embrace for her boyfriend, Marlon Stockinger.
The culmination of Pia’s hugging tour was joined by other celebrities such as Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla, Melissa Ricks, Say Alonzo, Helga Krapf, and Princess Velasco.
The video also showcased real and inspiring stories of Filipinos—Diane, a deaf and mute mother of two, and breadwinner to the family, who showed how a hug can be able to say how much you care and love a person even without uttering a word; Dhorie, an OFW who needs to leave her children this coming December once again, showed how she can hug as long as she can (even up to 45 seconds or more), even during the times you need to say goodbye; Kenjie and JJ, and Catherine and Robi, who are same sex couples who never feared showing their affection to the public, and how a hug can show that they can power through any obstacle together; and, Fernanda Baky, a retired teacher, and David Baky, Head of Security for the US World Relief Corporation, about to celebrate their 51st anniversary, showed how a hug can truly be long-lasting.
These hugs are not the brief, half-armed hugs or just pats on the back, but heartfelt embraces that we long for. And because hugging means getting real close to people that we care for, Downy Parfum Collection™ gives everyone the confidence to spread hugs.
The Downy Parfum Collection™ is a premium fabric enhancer line that offers softness and long lasting scent from wash to wear. Each variant contains a carefully curated formula that enhances the scent and longevity of the fragrances.
“What can be a more powerful way to express your affection and love to others than with a warm, meaningful hug? Through Downy’s #Spread100Hugs campaign, we want to let people realize that hugs are a wonderful way to connect with the people that truly matter to them. And with Downy Parfum Collection’s long-lasting scent, every hug will smell fresh, from the first until the very last hug.” said Louie Morante, Regional Brand Communications for Fabric Care P&G Asia Pacific.
Get into the spirit of hugging and make your holidays extra special this Christmas with the Downy Parfum Collection™.

Visit the hug-activated Downy Scented Christmas Tree located in Eastwood Mall’s open park (near the fountain area) from November 20, 2018 to December 19, 2018, and #Spread100Hugs starting today, and every day, to experience a hug’s undeniable power.

Adamson
Baby Falcons
For
the past five years, Akari has been supporting Adamson in the
University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). Season 81
is no exception as Akari continues to soar with the Falcons.
Akari
is once again going all out to support the Adamson Falcons in their
bid for a men’s basketball championship. Since taking over the
program in 2016, coach Franz Pumaren has steered the team to two
consecutive Final Four appearances. This year, the Falcons are touted
as strong contenders in the senior men’s basketball division.
Meanwhile,
third-year American mentor Airess Padda is training the Lady Falcons
to compete at a higher level. As part of their off-season build-up,
the volleybelles are joining several leagues ahead of their UAAP
season opening in February 2019.
For
the program’s continuity, Akari has also included the high school
girls’ volleyball team under its management. Early this year, the
company held the Akari National High School Volleyball Championships
to scout promising players and bring them in to the Adamson junior
and senior volleyball programs.
After
delivering the university’s first championship in the UAAP Cheer
Dance Competition (CDC) last year, Adamson Pep Squad coach Jam
Lorenzo and his wards are training harder than ever to defend their
crown as the UAAP CDC unfolds in November.
Akari’s
unwavering support to the Adamson University for the past five years
is just one of the many initiatives under the brand’s youth
development and sports program. The company has formalized the Akari
Foundation to extend its support to the youth beyond collegiate
sports. Akari recently gathered the 2018-2019 Adamson University
scholars of the company. In an intimate dinner, Christopher Tiu,
Akari chief executive officer, reiterated the lighting and energy
company’s commitment to help enlighten the future of the Filipino
youth.
“Through
the Lim Liok Lim and Carter Tiu scholarships, we aim to give back via
tertiary scholarship grants. The immediate family members of our
employees, as well as the nearest kin of the athletes of the
company-sponsored school teams are our priority. We’re also open to
providing scholarship grants to indigent but deserving individuals,”
Tiu said.
