INSPIRATION

Inspired by the spirit of the great city of New York, The Gramercy Residences will be the first tower to rise at Century City.

This ultra-exclusive hyper-amenitized condo project takes its name from Manhattan’s ultra-exclusive Gramercy Park, a fenced-in private park in New York City’s most prestigious of neighborhoods, accessible only to the well-heeled residents of the buildings in the area who are assigned keys to the park. It is here that Cyrus Field conceived the Trans-Atlantic Cable, Mark Twain played pool, and an eight-year old John F. Kennedy chased the squirrels on a lazy afternoon.

It is the exclusivity, the history, and the central characteristics of Gramercy Park in New York, that has inspired in no small measure, the first urban icon set to rise in progressive Century City: The Gramercy Residences will feature interiors and aesthetics that evoke the Big Apple’s unmistakable flair, and the exclusivity and style of its Manhattanite namesake.

Deirdre Gonzales asked:


the many brands of deodorants around the world and in the Philippines, Rexona is considered as one of the top brands in providing sweat free lifestyle for all the people that use it. So where did it come from? According to rexona philippines, Rexona is one of the many brands manufactured by Unilever, a multi-national corporation that owns many of the world’s consumer product brands in foods, beverages, cleaning agents and personal care products. One of its best personal care products is Rexona.

Rexona was first developed in 1908 by an Australian pharmacist and his wife. Because of the successful marketing of Rexona, both by rexona philippines and rexona UK (known as Sure in UK and Ireland), it now has 8 lines of deodorant, each having different effects than the other. For example, there is a formula to eliminate white marks on dark clothing and a product line developed for low-income consumers. Rexona products are created with “body-responsive technology.”

Scientists from Rexona recently noted that the body produces two types of sweat, one from over-heating and another from emotional stress. These two types of sweat generate different chemicals and odors from different glands in the body. Cooling sweat is created all over the body, but sweat from emotional strain is created in fewer, more specific sites, including under the arms. Rexona has a formula to address both types of sweat. The over-heating sweat formula was tested on people in a sauna. The emotional stress sweat was tested on people interrogated in a mean and fast-paced manner to answer riddles and sums.

Rexona’s recognition in line with personal care products were mainly because of its unique features rarely found on other brands. Another reason for it’s popularity is with its commercials. Several commercials made by rexona philippines became very popular. One is the First Day Funk by Parokya ni Edgar and another is the First Day High by Kamikazee. Rexona was also featured on some popular-culture. The Filipino *** show Bubble Gang made notable spoofs of the product. Another one is the Sistah Fun. The Stunt City commercial filmed in Australia for the UK audience won a Gold Lion at Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival in 2005. In 2008 Rexona Mexico won the Silver Cyber Lion with the letssavefermin.com. Visit at http://www.myayala.com.

Cebu is one of the provinces of the Philippines. Cebu Island is a typical tropical island with narrow coastlines, limestone plateaus, and coastal plains. Cebuano is the native language spoken by the inhabitants of Cebu, Bohol, eastern part of Negros island, western parts of Leyte and Biliran islands, and southern third of Masbate island. It is also spoken in a few towns and islands in Samar. Cebuano has the most number of native speakers than Tagalog. In Bohol Island, the people are Boholanos and the local language is Bol-anon.

The language spoken throughout the most of Mindanao Island is known as Bisaya. Bisaya language is very similar to Cebuano language and is spoken by many people in Mindanao Island.

e most popular beauty products philippines in terms of soaps and body washes is Dove Soap. For years, Dove has been one of the Philippines’ top soaps that offers a way to gain smooth and fair looking skin without worrying too much on how old the user is. But have you ever asked where did one of the top beauty products philippines came from? One thing that all Filipinos know is that Dove Soap came from one of the biggest corporation in the Philippines today, Unilever. So what is Dove? Dove is a personal care brand owned by Unilever. Dove is primarily made from synthetic surfactants, as well as some vegetable oil based soap ingredients, such as sodium palm kernelate. Dove is formulated to be pH neutral, with a pH that is usually between 6.5 and 7.5. Dove products are manufactured in The Netherlands; Hammond, Indiana, USA; Germany; Ireland and Brazil. The Dove trademark and brand name is currently owned by Unilever. Dove’s logo is a silhouette profile of a dove, the color of which often varies. Dove’s products include: antiperspirants/deodorants, body washes, beauty bars, lotions/moisturizers, hair care and ****** care products. In the US, Dove bar soap is currently produced in the cool moisture, exfoliating, sensitive skin unscented, nutrium nourishing, white, pink, calming night, pro-age, and energy glow versions. History Dove has been positioned throughout its history without referring to it as “soap”, but as a “beauty bar” with one-fourth cleansing cream; they stress its moisturizing of skin while washing in contrast to the drying effects of regular soaps (which their advertising calls simply “soap”). Advertisements reinforced the message by showing the cream being poured into the beauty bar. In 1979, the phrase “cleansing cream” was replaced with “moisturizer cream”. In 1979, a Pennsylvania dermatologist showed that Dove dried and irritated skin significantly less than ordinary soaps. As a result of this study, Unilever started aggressive marketing and won more than 24% of the market by 2003. Popular Marketing Campaigns In 2006, Philippines witnessed one of Dove’s greatest campaign, the Dove Self-Esteem Fund. As one of the best beauty products philippines, Dove purports to be “an agent of change to educate and inspire girls on a wider definition of beauty and to make them feel more confident about themselves”.  To this end, Dove have created a number of largely online-only short films, including Daughters (which also aired in a 75-second spot during the Super Bowl XL), Evolution (which won two awards at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival), Onslaught, and Amy.Visit the website http://www.myayala.com.
