The Legend Villas

"TravelBook.ph Blogger Affiliate Get Together” was really a fantastic event. The organizer, Ms. Pia and the entourage of Travelbook.ph welcomed us with their beautiful smiles.  The Legend Villas hosted this huge successful event and part of the Blogger Affiliate Get Together Agenda is a quick tour around the hotel.

Let me share with you why we highly recommend this 3-star hotel.

· It is a 100% Filipino-owned hotel.
· It is strategically located in Central Mandaluyong, close to Ayala Center and SM Megamall and only 45-minutes away to Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

We took pictures from the outside of the hotel capturing its beautiful Christmas season theme background.

We’re able to see how beautiful this place is. It features Filipino design in their rooms and function halls. Elegant yet cozy touches abound inside and out: fine wood with finish so smooth to the touch, sparkling Venetian glass-framed mirrors, polished barandillas in a gently curved staircase, a cozy gallinera in a quiet corner - I believe it’s one of their advantages – it will really make you feel at home and reminds me of Vigan’s ancestral houses.

Function Rooms and ballrooms

A top choice for city holidays and events in Metro Manila. Each of the venues, is good for 25 to 200 guests, comes with high-quality audio-visual equipment and designed for corporate events, meetings and banquets. They are Fil-Hispanic inspired.

Banahaw 248 sqm

Raja 142 sqm-Divisible into three (3) 47 sqm function rooms

Kulintang 41 sqm

Datu & Lanai 49 sqm to 184 sqm

Rooms & Suites

The Legend Villas features rooms with wooden flooring and a bedside control panel. They are also equipped with a cable TV and private bathroom with shower. Some rooms even have a balcony overlooking the city. With its 130 relaxing and comfortable guest rooms, from Studio, Deluxe, Family, Villa Suite, Villa Suite Premier, Team Suite, and Executive Suite and complimentary wireless internet access, daily housekeeping service, doctor on call and other room features and guest services.

It’s like having a five star accommodation while paying for less!

Lanai & Outdoor Swimming Pool

Our quick tour ends-up at Patio Area with a sumptuous and delicious buffet lunch courtesy of “Lola Maria Restaurant” served right beside the hotel’s outdoor swimming pool. While eating I reminisce the different menus my mom used to cook, a Filipino home-style dishes. 

Lola Maria Restaurant, which serves a festive menu of Filipino favorites, is also a first-rate venue for weddings, debuts, and other big social gatherings.

Tokenhub

Eternal Coin Launch and Token Hub Asia’s 1st Year Anniversary Party Last 20th October 2016, Thursday people from various industries were gathered at The Peninsula Manila for its #Applaunchparty2016 and at the same time it was the 1st year anniversary celebration of Token Hub Asia in our country. 

Most of the guests arrived at around 5 o’clock in the afternoon for the registration at the Rigodon Ballroom. Everything was set and all looks really classy as they enter the hall towards their tables.

The entire hall was filled with excitement as the participants were just busy browsing our brochure and comic that tells about of who we are in the business. Program started a bit late since the guests were still coming in past 6 o’clock. 

Live voice announcement was then heard all over the hall as the event hosts were finally introduced, Gerhard Krysstopher and Rissey Reyes who are both cast members of Hi-5 Philippines and TV commercial models graced this momentous event. 

A welcome message was delivered by Mr. John Raphael Flor, Vice Sales and Marketing Manager and Acting Chief Executive Officer of Token Hub Asia here in the Philippines as he talked even more about innovation, technology and the business as the future of financial services in the country. He then introduced the team who attended the event as they came all the way from Tokyo, Japan. Key persons from Atom Solutions Inc and Eternal Link in Tokyo were all present during this launch. 

Mr. Onodera Toshiaki, President of Eternal Link in Japan sent a video message as he talked briefly about its operations and now it has come here in the Philippines, lastly he then again introduced Mr. Flor for his product presentation considering he was even surrounded by people with their curious minds about the service and how the system works. 

Mr. Flor did not go directly presenting on what the company has to offer instead he has given the general public a concise but informative background of other business models which is in the same concept for Eternal Coin and its services.The presentation has given its emphasis on the low cost money remittance in which Token Hub Asia, its local exchange is embracing as part of its corporate branding. The ELook application is now available for the android market through Google Playstore was likewise introduced and taught the guests on how they can download given its benefits once they become part of the Token Hub Community. ECounter or being an accredited money transfer agent was even more interesting because Filipino people would really want to have an additional income and extra aside from their regular 8 hour job that they all do. 

Right after the presentation, the Eternal Coin was finally unveiled to the public and it is now officially here in the Philippines. Mr. Flor and Ms. Jefferjane Rufo, the Marketing and Events Officer of Token Hub Asia was joined by Mr. Clement Tiong Sii Jie of Eternal Link in Tokyo for the toast of success. Everyone seems to be very overwhelmed and has been wondering the direction of this company when it comes to their local operations. 

Sumptuous dinner was served and at the same time there were surprises that came along after each segment part of the program. “Facebook Like Contest” was a fad and one of the event highlights during that evening. It became more exciting when popular cosplayers in the country were present and they were all fascinating. Guests came to them to have their selfies taken and shared its official hashtag for this event.Cos-crew website from Japan was even introduced to the Filipino market since the local cosplayers are all registered on this site prior their appearance that night.

The night became even more memorable during the Mr. & Ms. Token Hub Asia 2016 as the key persons from Atom Solutions Inc. And Eternal Link in Tokyo has chosen the best among the rest during this event. The intense feeling was felt by everyone when the 3 winners of Eternal coin was announced and they were rewarded by coins transferred to them directly on the spot and got even excited when they found out that these are convertible to cash equivalent. 

The night was filled with happiness and curiosity as the hosts wrapped up the program and as the acting CEO stated on his speech “This is now the future of financial services here in the Philippines, so are we up for the CHANGE?”

Herbalife Phils Wellness Tour 2016

Herbalife Nutrition At Work Survey Reveals Filipino Millennials Desire Healthy, Active Workplace Environment

While the survey conducted reveals that more Filipino millennials are engaging in regular physical activities outside work, they find it difficult to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle in the modern workplace.

PHILIPPINES, Oct.  27, 2016: Herbalife Nutrition, a global nutrition company, has released the findings from its Asia Pacific Millennials At Work Survey which revealed that Filipino millennials are adapting a healthy, active lifestyle, however, most believe their current workplace environment prevents them from doing so.

Millennials, or people born in between 1980 and 2000, are opting for a workplace that will encourage them to stay active, if only this will be embedded in every company culture.  About 83 percent or eight in 10 millennials have agreed that they would like their company workplace to adopt a healthy, active lifestyle.

 

With the millennial generation expected to make up 50 percent of the global workforce by 2020, ensuring the wellbeing of millennials will be important to improving workplace productivity. “There are about 35 million millennials now in the Philippines, which is about one-third of the country’s entire population. Five years from now, millennials will be dominating the labor force. While most millennials want to lead healthy lives, they face real obstacles at work in doing so,” said Rosalio Valenzuela, Herbalife Philippines General Manager. “At Herbalife Nutrition, we provide our employees with nutrition products at work, subsidize gym memberships, hold regular wellness programs related to nutrition and well-being, and encourage participation in outdoor activities and sports competitions.”

Additionally, the survey findings revealed the following:

· Seven (7) out of 10 millennials strive to live healthy, active lives

· However, the majority of millennials find it challenging to maintain an active lifestyle at work – eight (8) out of 10 millennials spend 6 to 13 hours at their work desk each day, and 64% of millennials get less than 30 minutes of physical activity - including standing, stretching and walking at work on an average work day.

· Additionally, 64% of millennials cited the “lack of time” as the key obstacle to engaging in physical activity at work.

To provide tips on how millennials and their employers can integrate positive nutrition and life style habits at their workplaces, Herbalife Nutrition has organized a sixth Asia Pacific Wellness Tour, which builds upon the successes of the past five tours that welcomed over 100, 000  participants. Five experts from the Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board (NAB) are scheduled to tour 21 Asian cities from October 7 to 30, to hold a series of talks, workshops and medical symposia across the region.

“Through these efforts, we hope to equip organizations and employees with the right tools to collectively build a healthier work environment across Asia Pacific,” said Valenzuela.

Julian Alvarez Garcia, M.D., Ph.D., a member of the Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board, will be visiting Manila for the Asia Pacific Wellness Tour this October. Julian Alvarez Garcia, M.D., Ph.D. will also be sharing expert advice on how millennials can adopt simple positive nutrition and lifestyle habits at work to improve their overall well-being in the long run.

Some of the tips to help foster a healthier millennial workforce include:

· Nutrition

 o Dedicate a healthy eating day each week and get colleagues involved in making healthy choices for lunch on this day.

o Boost water intake to help the body digest food, rid the body of toxins, and help deliver nutrients to the cells. Drink at least eight (8) glasses or two (2) liters of water a day.

o Have a protein shake combined with non-fat milk and healthy fruit for breakfast. With 20-30 grams of protein and low-fat contents, it can provide the body with all the nutrition it needs to power through the day.

· Active Living

o Create a playlist that incorporates upbeat music and play with hourly intervals.

o Use Running Apps to keep energized and on-pace during regular runs.

o Set a goal to join running competitions to motivate self to sustain an active lifestyle.

Herbalife’s Millennials At Work Survey was conducted in 2016, with 5,500 respondents aged 18 and above, from Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
