‘A collaboration of experts’

Luxury and design were the topics of conversation when Filigree, the newest luxury real estate brand in the country, was formally introduced to a select group

at The Enclave Alabang’s tropical modern clubhouse.

On hand to welcome distinguished guests and to lead the ceremonial toast was Josephine

Gotianun Yap, one of the top leaders in the property industry today. “Filigree is my personal pride and joy, a venture that I am most proud of. In creating Filigree, we were inspired by global trends in luxury developments, offering masterpieces that are of low-density, a result of a collaboration of experts— design minds, builders and craftsmen,” she said.

Spotted at the event were world-class consultants Bill

Higgins of Architecture International, Juan Seriña

Jr. and Raymond Hernandez

of H1 Architecture, Isabelle Miaja of Miaja Design Group, Armando Casibang of AECOM and Budji Layug and Royal Pineda of Budji+Royal Architecture+Design. A sumptuous dinner was prepared by chef Margarita Fores.

Filigree’s luxury property portfolio includes luxury high-rise developments such as The Beaufort at Bonifacio Global City, Bristol at Parkway Place and Botanika Nature Residences both at Filinvest City Alabang, and The Enclave Alabang, the ultimate in low-density, subdivision living.

Creole David said, “Today’s kids and teens find comfort in having friends that they can share everything with. This is the idea behind the Girl Gang. It’s not just about having fun, but also about empowering each other.”

With her hip, refreshing take on beauty and makeup, along with her go-getter attitude, Andrea is the perfect face for Careline as it seeks to be “Better than Basic.” Joining the Andrea in Careline’s Girl Gang are the brand’s online model search discoveries Alyana Chapman, Azusa Masu, Megu Demetrio and Regine Lacanienta. The girls, with their diverse styles and looks, send an empowering message Careline wants to share with its teen market through a digital film at @carelineph on Instagram.
