Tagaytay Highlands, the country’s go-to holiday destination south of the metro

 

This time of the year is what Filipinos consider as the happiest. Spending the holidays away from the stressful vibe of the big city, and finding peace and serenity in the countryside, easily comes to mind. Surely none proffers this prospect more delightfully than Tagaytay Highlands, the country’s go-to holiday destination south of the metro. 

 

The premier mountain resort community is primed to let its residents, their families, and their guests enjoy a relaxing holiday break. Whether ensconced in cozy log cabins or in luxurious, close-to-nature dwellings located in the Highlands’ exclusive residential enclaves, grownups and children will look out, not on smog-shrouded cityscapes but on stunning vistas of tranquil Taal Lake, the legendary Mount Makiling, and Canlubang Valley shimmering in the horizon.

Old traditions die hard in this Yuletide destination. Resident families like to turn the holidays into a multi-sensory experience. As glittery lights and colorful ornaments spread holiday cheer, one enjoys the aroma of ham, pasta, and cakes wafting from the kitchen. And as in typical Filipino gatherings, the sound of laughter and merriment is music to one’s ears.

 

Festive Club events also await discerning homeowners who look forward to a memorable holiday season at Tagaytay Highlands. Children can whoop it up at their very own ‘Christmas Party for Kids’ to be held at The Sports Center Hall on December 17. On December 27 to 31, individuals and families can shop to their hearts’ content at the Christmas Bazaar to be set up in the Highlands Golf Parking Area. 

 

To welcome the year with a bang, Tagaytay Highlands will have a New Year’s Eve Countdown at The Sports Center Hall on December 31. 

 

Several Chapel events will likewise be in full swing, such as the Four Sundays of Advent Eucharistic Celebrations on November 27, December 4, 11, and 18; the Renewal of Consecration of Tagaytay City to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on December 3; the Lighting of the beautiful Tagaytay Highlands Christmas Tree on December 3; and the Feast of the Immaculate Conception Mass on December 8. 

 

Of course, the Filipino tradition of Simbang Gabi will be celebrated in the Highlands from December 15 to 23, and the much-awaited Christmas Day will be ushered in with masses on December 24 and December 25.

 

To wrap up the year 2022 with gratitude, members of the mountain resort community can go to mass on December 30, for the Feast of the Holy Family. The chapel will also welcome the year 2023 with masses on New Years’ Eve (December 31) and New Year’s Day (January 1).

 

Filipinos heading to Tagaytay Highlands for a joyful and cheery time will be happy to know that the development has been awarded the Safety Seal of the City Government of Tagaytay for providing safety and security to its residents, guests, and staff.

 

Tagaytay Highlands’ developer, Highlands Prime Inc., a subsidiary of SM Prime Holdings, has also been named by the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development as one of CALABARZON’s 2021 Outstanding Developers for Open Market Projects.

Tagaytay Highlands’ highly competent property management team ensures that all facilities and personnel will continue to adhere to safety protocols and sanitation procedures like hand sanitation, disinfection, wearing of face masks, and social distancing in public spaces. 

Finally, the Highlands’ property management commits to remain efficient in delivering quick crisis responses during adverse natural and high-risk events.

The Henry Sy Foundation, Inc. (HSFI) recently inked a partnership with the University of Sto. Tomas (UST) Research and Endowment Foundation

Pursuing its objective of driving Philippine social development by fostering the youth and the culture of excellence through education, the Henry Sy Foundation, Inc. (HSFI) recently inked a partnership with the University of Sto. Tomas (UST) Research and Endowment Foundation to construct a building that elevates health education in the country.

 

Named in honor of the late SM Founder, the Henry Sy, Sr. Hall of UST will rise on the main campus in Manila to respond to the needs of digital medical education.

 

The Hall will feature technologically advanced facilities and equipment that complement UST’s teaching, learning, and research practices. Focused on interdisciplinary collaboration in medical studies, it will also house the simulation and research facility of the UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery (UST-FMS). 

Paragons with passion

 

Fr. Richard Gaw Ang, OP, Rector of UST, thanked the Sy family as they work together to provide the best education to future physicians and increase UST’s research productivity to fill the gaps where communities are disadvantaged.

 

“Your family consists of industry leaders who have visions for the Filipino community. Your choice to support this endeavor of the UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery is a significant stamp of approval to the work and tradition of this medical institution,” Fr. Ang said in a letter to the Sy family.

 

“Your family’s Patriarch, Henry Sy, Sr., had principles in life that we, as an institution, give our best to also follow. We aim to lead as paragons with passion, integrity, far-reaching and optimistic vision, sensible priorities, and discipline. At the core of this is a deep sense of charity for God, the church, and the nation,” Fr. Ang added.

 

UST’s future Henry Sy, Sr. Hall

 

Rising as an intellectual hub for future physicians, the building has a dedicated floor for the Faculties of Medicine and Surgery Research Center and the Medicine and Surgery Graduate Programs and Ethics Review Board. Here, medical education research and various medical-related specialty research will be reviewed and conducted. 

 

The building will include specialized centers, rooms, and laboratories, such as Medical Simulation Centers and Care Ultrasound Institute, and Otorhinolaryngology Laboratory. These will be equipped with cutting-edge tools and technology to develop medical students’ competencies in multiple simulated healthcare settings crossing the human lifespan.

 

The HSFI is a non-stock, non-profit organization inspired by SM founder Henry Sy, Sr.’s desire to aid educational institutions to drive Philippine social development. Its projects are undertaken in partnership with the SM group and its foundations to honor the SM founder by supporting educational institutions in promoting academic excellence as a key to a brighter future for the youth. Through the years, the foundation established and supported several academic infrastructures, such as the Henry Sy Sr. Primary School Building in Xavier School, Nuvali Laguna; Henry Sy Sr. Innovation Center in Miriam College, Quezon City; NU Sports Academy in Calamba, Laguna; NU Nazareth School in Manila; and a Henry Sy Sr. Hall each at Immaculate Conception Academy, San Juan City, and Assumption College. 

SM Foundation cemented its partnership with the Department of Education (DepED) in 2002 through DepEd’s Adopt-A-School Program

More than just an area where students gather to hold classes, a school environment plays a vital role in learners’ cognitive development. Research has shown that with an environment conducive to learning, students increase their attention and focus, and they are more motivated to practice higher-level critical thinking skills.

Adamant to provide students with venues where they can fully hone their skills and knowledge, SM Foundation (SMFI)—the corporate social responsibility arm of the SM group—cemented its partnership with the Department of Education (DepED) in 2002 through DepEd’s Adopt-A-School Program.

Through this, SMFI builds SM school buildings in grassroot communities, complete with basic furniture and equipment. More so, SMFI integrates specialized features to each SM school building to address the unique needs of their school recipients—some received rooms dedicated as a guidance office, a clinic, a mini-library, and some even got a water tank and a handwashing facility.

To date, SMFI has turned over more than 100 SM school buildings nationwide with the help of its partners, which share the same aspirations for the Filipino learners and teachers. One of which is the SM Prime Holdings (SMPH) - one of the largest integrated property developers in Southeast Asia. Since the project’s inception, over 90 SM school buildings out of the more than 100 were built through the social good collaboration with SM Prime.

Infrastructure for calamity prone areas

SMFI and SMPH ensure that the SM school buildings incorporate a disaster resilient design to guarantee the safety of the students, teachers, and other school personnel. Emergency lights at both staircases, and fire and earthquake alarm bells are also installed.

Principal Joji Buelvo, school principal of Basud Elementary School (BES) in Sorsogon City, shared the state of their school community before they accepted the fully furnished SM school building from SMFI and SM Prime in 2021: “Ang aming paaralan ay saksi sa maraming kalamidad. Kaya karamihan ng mga classrooms ay may kalumaan na, ang mga kisame ay malapit na bumagsak—talagang hindi na conducive for learning.” 

“But through your [SMFI and SM Prime] donation, our BES learners now have a haven where we can nurture their young minds to be academically-ready and well-rounded members of the community,” Buelvo further expressed.

Addressing classroom shortage

The continuous rapid growth of the country’s population is taking a toll on schools—leaving the students, even the teachers, with overcrowded classrooms which affect learners’ academic performance. 

In 2012, the Banisil National High School (BNHS) in General Santos City received its first SM school building. But being the only secondary school in Barangay Tambler, BNHS records a significant increase in their enrollment per year. With this challenge, SM Foundation decided to provide another edifice of hope for the sub-urban Muslim community in 2021, addressing the growing needs of BNHS learners and teachers.

BNHS then principal Shiela Balbon said, “Yung patuloy na paglobo ng population every year ay talagang naging suliranin namin.”

“Pagpasok ng 2020, nagkaroon ng COVID. So naisip ko baka hindi na matuloy. Pero itong SM Foundation, walang pande-pandemya sa kanila. Talagang desidido silang matugunan yung pangangailangan sa classroom ng mga estudyante,” she added.

“Our salute to our longtime partner, SM Foundation and SM Prime, for being so generous and proactive in providing us with school buildings that are conducive to learning. We are so grateful for your extended support to our school amidst the pandemic,” Balbon concluded.

SM Foundation, through its School Building Program, is an active partner of DepEd’s Adopt-a-School project. This social good initiative aims to promote quality public education by building classrooms nationwide.

A.S. Watson’s global commitment to bring 10,000 perfect smiles continues as Operation Smile Philippines turns 40

Operation Smile Philippines was born 40 years ago in Bicol, thanks to a basket of bananas. In 1981, Dr. William (Bill) P. Magee, Jr., a plastic surgeon, and his wife, Kathleen (Kathy), a nurse and clinical social worker, traveled to the Philippines with a volunteer medical organization called Interplast upon the invitation of then Gov. Felix Fuentebella of Camarines Sur.

There were hundreds of parents with their children who had cleft lips and cleft palates but the group couldn’t operate on all because Interplast also handled other medical cases. It was heartbreaking.

On the last day of the surgical mission, Bill and Kathy saw a woman and her daughter (who had not been operated on) with a basket of bananas. The woman said, “Thank you for coming here to help our children.”

The Magees were so touched by the encounter and they vowed to come back with a group of medical volunteers to repair children's cleft lips and cleft palates.

Thanks to their friends, including evangelist Pat Robertson who donated $30,000, the Magees came back in 1982 and Operation Smile was born. Before Bill became a reconstructive surgeon, he was a dentist.

The Magees assembled a volunteer team of 18 doctors, nurses, and technicians for their own medical mission to the Philippines.  They helped approximately 100 more patients, but again, hundreds waited to be treated.

Today, Operation Smile is an international medical charity with a global network of thousands of medical volunteers, including doctors, nurses, and other personnel, from more than 80 countries dedicated to helping improve the health and lives of children and young adults from more than 60 countries. 

As Operation Smile Philippines turns 40, a medical team arrived in Naga City on November 21 and conducted operations on children and young adults. The doctors stayed until November 25 until all the children were discharged.

With the purpose of putting a smile on customers' faces, Watsons Philippines began its partnership with Operation Smile nine years ago. Since then, the partnership has changed the lives of 2,152 children, who were born with cleft-lip and palate conditions, through free surgeries.

“A baby’s smile is the most beautiful thing in the world. It signifies hope for the future. As a health and wellness retailer, Watsons is a proud partner of Operation Smiles Philippines in transforming lives and giving the less privileged a chance to live healthy and beautiful lives.”said Viki Encarnacion, PR and Sustainability Director of Watsons.

Joining the Naga City medical and surgical mission are 35Watsons employee-volunteers. This partnership in the Philippines is part of A.S. Watson’s global commitment to bring 10,000 perfect smiles in collaboration with Operation Smile.
