LOOK: One Montage Tower, Cebu City’s Newest Iconic Hub

Cebu City’s skyline is changing with the newest addition to the league of towers in the metro – the One Montage Tower.

Dubbed as the next iconic hub of Cebu, One Montage Tower is a grade A building that features 29 floors dedicated for office and retail spaces. It is conveniently located along Archbishop Reyes Avenue, Cebu City, right next to Cebu Business Park which makes accessibility the least to worry about.

One Montage Tower is the first of Montage, a three-building mixed-use project of Innoland Development Corporation which vaunts approximately 40,000 square meters of Grade A office space, 7,000 square meters of retail space, and either a residential or hospitality component.

Presently, turnover of office spaces to occupants ready for fit out has already started.

Environment-friendly

As the race to more sustainable projects in the city is moving on its full speed, One Montage makes sure that it’s not just catching the race but leading it. It is LEED pre-certified Silver Category as a high-performance green building and aims to be registered with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA).

Being a LEED pre-certified building, it targets to save water, resources and energy and at the same time, generate less waste and support human health. This commercial complex promises lesser operation cost and boosts employee productivity and retention. It utilizes green concept design and harnesses nature’s strength to provide a sustainable and better environment.

Unique Green Moss Walls

The tower is one of the finest with its façade wrapped with different textures of aluminum cladding and vertical greenery. Green moss walls help cool space in summer by evaporating water into the air and help insulate against the cold during winter. To make the whole green wall system sustainable, it is built with auto-irrigation.

The building also features column-free office spaces, one of the latest developments in structural engineering. Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air conditioning allows tenants to keep cool while saving as much as 60% of energy.

Other Things to Watch Out

Employees, tenants, and customers alike will enjoy a wide mix of local and international brands including cafes, restaurants, service centers, and a supermarket to be housed in its four floors of open-air retail spaces. Being located in the heart of Cebu’s metropolis, this iconic hub is an ideal place for your growing business.

Other Innoland Projects

Montage is the largest project of Innoland Development Corporation. Other Innoland real estate projects include Link and TGU Park which are office towers (19 and 15 stories high, respectively) in Cebu IT Park.

Pool or beach? Why choose when you can have both?

Socorro’s Beach Resort (formerly JKC Resort) in Danao City, Cebu is a relief for those who are torn between frolicking in the beach or dipping in a swimming pool. Nestled in the progressive city of Danao, a few minutes to an hour ride from Cebu City and other nearby towns is all that it takes for you and your family to spend a fun and relaxing weekend retreat.

Danao has never failed to amaze us with its amazing tourist destinations. And while there are other beach resorts too near the area, Socorro’s Beach Resort is worth your money. If you want to spend the night in a resort with comfortable rooms without hurting your pockets, this is the place to be.

And why not? This place brags its well-maintained cottages, clean swimming pools and budget-friendly room rates. Not to mention that from their pools and cottages, a grand view of the expansive horizon awaits their guests.

One thing that sets this resort unique from nearby resorts is its superheroes and other cartoon characters statues scattered all over the place. Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Spider Man – you won’t surely miss to strike your best pose with these adorable figures. 

Kids and kids-at-heart won’t get bored with life-size characters from the famous cartoon movie “Madagascar” that are replicated and set up inside and close to the children’s pool.

There are two swimming pools in the area – the big and the small, but for now, only the smaller pool is for use. Equally good for a swim is its beachfront. You just have to take a dip and you’ll surely want to spend the day soaking in the waters.

Mandani Bay Cebu: Asia’s Next Focal Landmark

The future of urban lifestyle in Cebu is clear: world-class living spaces, smart and luxurious workplaces, green architectures, and the domination of mixed-use properties.

Mandani Bay Project is pulling us closer to this reality and is raising the standards of real estate development higher than ever.

Mandani Bay is a P130B waterfront expansion along Mactan channel in Mandaue City and stretches a gross land area of 20 hectares. It is designed to transform Cebu into a worldly acclaimed lifestyle destination and to serve as a focal landmark in the area.

This master-planned property will have 21 towers that will include residential condominiums, office towers, retail areas, a hotel and condotel, and expansive lifestyle spaces.

The project is subdivided into 8 blocks/phases and is expected to add 10,000 units to Cebu’s condominium inventory upon completion in 10 years from the initial 12 to 15-year timeline. Its first phase was launched May 2016.

PHASE 1 (MANDANI BAY SUITES)

Mandani Bay Suites comprises the first phase of the project. This two-tower phase houses approximately 1,200 condominium units with special units including loft units, garden duplexes, townhouses and penthouses. The amenities for the sole use of residents are laid out on top of the retail podiums and are flanked by the residential towers. Units were already sold out.

Mandani Bay Suites

Typical unit layouts:

  • 3-Bedroom
  • 2-Bedroom
  • 1-Bedroom
  • Studio
Mandani Bay Suites

Mandani Bay Suites was recently awarded a four-star accreditation under the Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence (BERDE) system implemented by the non-stock, non-profit Philippine Green Building Council (PHILGBC).

PHASE 2 (MANDANI BAY QUAY)

Mandani Bay Quay is the second phase of the Mandani Bay project. This P12-billion phase is a four-tower development comprising of three residential towers and one office building. The first tower of Phase 2 will be completed by early 2022 while the second tower will follow later that year. The completion of Phase 2’s office tower and third residential tower is eyed by early and later 2023, respectively.

Mandani Bay Quay

At the heart of the Mandani Bay Quay enclave is the Active Zone. It will feature a 50-meter lap pool, cabanas, a clubhouse, a multi-purpose court, a sports hall, adventure playground and an outdoor fitness facility.

Waterfront and Boardwalk

The 500-meter Waterfront & Boardwalk is the highlight and foreground of Mandani Bay, giving people a sweeping scenic view of the Mactan Channel. The Boardwalk, slated for completion by the second quarter of 2021, will be host to cultural spaces, retail outlets, and restaurants. It also serves as an ideal setting for an afternoon stroll or an energizing morning run.

Spaces for shopping, arts, entertainment and dining is guaranteed at Mandani Bay, paving a way for an exceptional way of life within the community. To enhance mobility and connectivity, there are footbridges set up to connect podiums to each other. Pedestrians have dedicated walkways, separated from roads for automobiles. An interconnected basement makes for convenient access to parking.

UPDATES

Gilbert Ang, project director at HTLand, the property developer behind Mandani Bay, said that despite challenges in construction due to disruption brought by the health crisis, HTLand remains upbeat that it can deliver on its promise of welcoming its first few residents with the turnover  of Mandani Bay Suites units starting early 2021.

Also, construction of Mandani Bay Quay is in full swing along with other key support facilities, making Mandani Bay a complete lifestyle destination.

Mandani Bay also included immersive tools and reference materials such as virtual tours, online presentations and reservations, and enhanced website content in its effort to seamlessly do business even during crisis. It has implemented sanitation procedures that strictly adhere to guidelines set by the Department of Health.

Mandani Bay Show Gallery

Gigantic burgers at Chef Marquin’s Burgerhouse in Moalboal

Just imagine having this after your day dive: Sitting on the sand, this gigantic burger on one hand and ice-cold beer on the other. Perfection.

There’s a very popular burger in Moalboal, Cebu that is currently making so much noise on social media. Chef Marquin’s Burgerhouse in Moalboal is a must-try and is the perfect end to a day of diving in Moalboal.

One look at Chef Marquin’s  flame-torched, gourmet burgers and the first question that will enter your mind is “How on earth am I going to finish this?!” Their burgers are jawbreakingly big, with one beef patty on top of another, oozing with so much cheese and juiciness.

And if you want to go all crazy, you can request additional patty at P100 per piece and build yourself a burger tower. Each patty is approximately 150 grams of pure beef and is definitely without extenders. It’s also packed with protein because each patty is 90% lean and 10% fat.

Chef Marquin recently opened its physical store located at the Nuevo School main Entrance in Brgy Tunga, Moalboal. It’s open daily from 10AM to 6PM.

Overcoming Frustrations of Online Classes: A Guide

0

Ever since the coronavirus entered the Philippines, infected a lot of people, and caused everyone to self-quarantine at home, our daily lives have changed.

Almost everyone working were forced to work at home, and it may have had either a positive impact or negative impact in their lives; nevertheless, our routines that we usually do in our workplaces are now obsolete and we now follow a new routine in our homes. Instead of the karenderia from the nearby store, you may be eating homecooked meals.

For students, the same changes apply, as the schools have also shifted to having online classes. Gone are the days when the students could laze around in the library or binge eating food from the canteen just to wait for their next class.

However, many students have been complaining about how online classes have drained their mental state, and indeed it can be frustrating since you are only facing a screen and not an actual human being teaching you. It could be that the teacher is giving way too many assignments or tasks, or that his task is too complicated for your environment.

Nevertheless, while it is also very important for teachers to listen to their students’ concerns, it is equally important to learn how to handle all the mental stress from online classes as taking in too much without having a healthy way to cope with it is very damaging to the student psyche. Thus, here are ways of coping up with the frustrations of online classes.

Schedule Time for Yourself

Online classes are a challenge, but it becomes an even bigger challenge when you can no longer be yourself. Schedule time for yourself, your alone time, so that you can still stay in touch with who you are and what you enjoy.

It would be better to have it at minimal intervals every day so that you can destress yourself every day. For example, you can set in your schedule to have your alone time for one hour every day. It is totally up to you.

Play Video Games

During your alone time, you can spend that time on playing video games that help you relax. Even if you are not someone who plays video games, you can try some relaxing games yourself. I’d advise on games like Stardew Valley as they don’t need too much mental stress for a farming game and it is available both on PC and mobile phones.

Although each and every one of us has their own style of games, so find the game that relaxes you most. Be sure to manage your time wisely and stick to the schedule.

Find Hobbies

Everyone has a hobby. Whether it be sewing, sketching, reading a nice book, a hobby defines who we are. You can enjoy your hobbies during your alone time as long as you manage your time well. If you prefer, you can also try searching for a new hobby and explore.

Stay Social

Humans are social beings so it is an essential part of our basic needs. Thus, even though we are in quarantine, remember to keep contact with your friends and barkada.

I would suggest that you play games together, such as Kahoot, Skribbl.io, or PlayingCards.io. There’s even a Secret Hitler game online and a Cards Against Humanity. Or you can simply talk to each other, whichever makes all of you enjoy.

Keep Healthy

No matter how many tasks you have, always prioritize your body, because if you don’t, then there’s nobody to work on your tasks. Remember to eat at the right time with the right amounts, gets plenty of sleep, and exercise often.

You can do a quick exercise routine at home or do a quick jog in the early morning. Keep your body and mind in its top performance and you will be happy with the results.

Pasilong sa Naga: A Green Public Park in Cebu South

The City of Naga is on its way to developing better and greener public spaces with the new Pasilong sa Naga public park. This park will be a city garden that will provide a place for people of all ages and status to gather, regardless of their ability to pay for access.

“This park shall be a place for health and well-being accessible by all. With this park, we want to erase the misconception of people that [the] government is not capable of providing a facility such as this, because through partnership, it can be done. I am so thankful [to] Mr. Kenneth Cobonpue for his dedication and commitment in crafting the park design,” Mayor Chiong said.

A NEED FOR OPEN SPACES

“Pasilong sa Naga” is a P10.5-million park development project that was conceptualized and initiated by the City Government to address the need for more open spaces in the city.  According to the mayor, this park will be a tangible reflection of the quality of life that she aspires for the Cebuano people.

In her interview with SunStar Cebu, she mentioned that the project was conceptualized after the city applied for financial support from the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) for the creation of new parks and open spaces.

Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat, who was a guest during the city’s 11th Charter, mentioned expectations of the park attracting local and foreign tourists to the southern parts of Cebu City. “It will be a model for sustainable tourism. I’m sure everybody would love to see the design of Kenneth Cobonpue,” exclaimed Puyat.

DESIGNED BY KENNETH COBONPUE

Pasilong sa Naga is a partnership project with world-renowned Cebuano designer Kenneth Cobonpue. According to him, this is his first time to design a park for the local government.

Aside from Pasilong sa Naga, Cobonpue is also assisting the City of Naga in designing the second phase of the Naga Boardwalk.

“Pasilong sa Naga, which literally means “to find shade in Naga”, is a park I designed for the city of Naga, south of Cebu. The design is made up of interlocking rings that represent circles of life, nature’s way of taking and giving back to the earth. The rings vary in scale and turn into winding paths, elevated walkways, fountains, benches and rest areas as they loop around the park,”

– Kenneth Cobonpue said on a Facebook post.

As mentioned, the park will have a design that will feature a series of interlocking rings that will function as walkways that spiral into trees all around the park.

Cobonpue said that the interlocking rings will also represent the unity of Cebu’s politics and culture. In between the rings will be a fountain that park goers will enjoy. The park will also be dotted with ring benches under the shade of trees that will provide respite from the heat of the sun.

Since the project is aiming for a green space, Cobonpue says that no existing trees will be sacrificed during the development. “In fact, we need to add more trees,” he even said.

Soon to open to the public

The development of Pasilong sa Naga will hopefully become a ripple and start a wave of development projects that focus on green and open spaces that can be accessed by Cebuanos and visitors of the City in the future.

Pasilong Sa Naga is still under construction and is not yet open to the public. It is expected to open in December 2020 or early 2021.

Cebu Province opens over 100 tourism establishments

0

A total of 123 accommodation establishments, restaurants, and water transport services have opened in Cebu Province.

This is after they have been issued a Certificate of Compliance (COC) since September 2020. These establishments have been proven to have complied with the basic health requirements by the Provincial Tourism Task Force (PTTF) based on the guidelines of the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID) and the Provincial Ordinance enforcing tourism protocols.

5th District Provincial Board Member Andrei “Red” Duterte authored the ordinance supporting what was issued by Governor Gwendolyn Garcia on July 23, 2020; the Executive Order no. 20-A.

 Some of the tourism activities that have been allowed to re-open are:

  • Alegria Canyoneering
  • Barili All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV)
  • Cordova Island Hopping
  • Anjo World
  • Danasan Eco-Adventure Park
  • Snow World
  • Whaleshark Watching
  • Moalboal Island Hopping and Diving

These activities can be booked online through the Cebu Province’s official tourism portal: http://discover.cebu.gov.ph/.

On the other hand, water tourist transports like motorized and non-motorized boats are to secure their Certificate of Authority to Operate (COA) from the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and the Maritime Industry Authority (MIA). However, they must secure and comply the requirements from their respective Local Government Unit (LGUs).

Ybanez further clarified that the centralized digital booking portal discover.cebu.gov.ph is exclusive to “destinations, sites, and tourism activities.” Confirmation codes in the portal are system generated.

For accommodation, guests must book directly to the accredited establishments. Proof of booking may be in the form of an e-mail or a receipt. No other travel documents will be required to travel.
