The Truth About Fair Skin: Safe, Effective Skin Treatments Available at MOLD Manila

In the Philippines, where radiant, even-toned skin is often seen as a symbol of beauty, it’s no surprise that so many people feel the quiet, constant pressure to achieve “fair skin.” From family remarks to beauty ads, we grow up surrounded by messages that lighter is better, as if complexion alone defines worth.

But at MOLD Manila, we believe it’s time to shift that conversation. We believe fair skin isn’t about chasing an ideal — it’s about achieving skin that is healthy, clear, and truly cared for. And that begins not with promises of quick fixes, but with real, respectful care.

MOLD Manila Founder and CEO Adrielle Costales

A Founder’s Vision: Adrielle Costales and the Heart of MOLD Manila

When Adrielle Costales founded MOLD Manila, her vision was clear. She didn’t set out to create just another aesthetic clinic. She wanted to build a place where skin care was approached with honesty, science, and heart — a place where no one would feel pressured into harsh treatments or unrealistic standards.

As a skin expert, Adrielle knows that true beauty starts with skin health. That’s why she champions holistic care: options that combine effective, non-invasive treatments with thoughtful guidance on how to nourish, protect, and love your skin every day.

She trusts in technologies like Forlle’d and Osmosis MD — not because they promise instant transformation, but because they work at a deeper level to strengthen and restore. It’s an approach that helps clients stop chasing impossible ideals and instead embrace a healthier, more radiant version of themselves.

Our Approach: Why MOLD Manila Is Different

When someone walks into our Katipunan or Baesa clinic hoping to achieve fairer skin, the first thing we offer isn’t a treatment — it’s a conversation.

We ask: What do you want to achieve? What does “fair” really mean to you? Are you hoping to change the color of your skin, or are you looking for clarity, brightness, and balance?

Time and again, we hear the same truth: most clients aren’t seeking fair skin in the way they thought. What they truly want is skin that looks clear, fresh, and even — free from the effects of sun damage, pollution, stress, or past product mistakes. They want to feel good when they look in the mirror, without compromising their skin’s health or integrity.

That’s why at MOLD Manila, we never offer shortcuts, or unsafe whitening fads. Instead, we create customized plans using science-backed treatments that support your skin’s natural health, while addressing concerns like hyperpigmentation, dullness, or uneven tone.

It’s this thoughtful, ethical approach that has helped position us among the top aesthetic clinics in the Philippines and as the best aesthetic clinic serving you.

Safe, Effective Treatments That Put Skin Health First

Every plan we create is rooted in care, not in chasing perfection. For clients seeking to brighten and balance their complexion — to achieve that healthy, luminous look without harm — we offer options like:

Forlle’d Lumiere Brightening Facial (₱5,000)

A gentle, biostimulating facial that reduces dark spots, nourishes deeply, and strengthens the skin’s natural defenses.

Hollywood Laser Peel (₱3,500 per session)

A carbon-activated laser treatment that exfoliates, refines pores, and evens tone without harsh peeling — ideal for regular maintenance of that natural glow.

NCTF Bionutrition (₱25,000 for 2mL)

A skin rejuvenation treatment that infuses vitamins, minerals, and cellular factors to leave skin brighter, hydrated, and dewy.

Exosomes Therapy (starts at ₱15,000)

Advanced cellular therapy that helps repair damaged skin, reduce inflammation, and restore clarity and resilience.

WhiteLase (starts at ₱3,500)

A dual-wave laser designed to gently target pigmentation issues, from freckles to melasma, while protecting your skin’s barrier.

Each of these treatments can be thoughtfully combined, based on your skin’s unique needs. Because real skin care isn’t about one-size-fits-all solutions — it’s about what’s right for you.

And at every step, our team — guided by Adrielle’s vision — ensures that what we recommend aligns with your long-term skin health, not fleeting trends or dangerous shortcuts.

A New Kind of Fair

At MOLD Manila, fair skin doesn’t mean forcing your complexion into something it was never meant to be. It means helping your skin reflect its best: healthy, even, luminous, and resilient.

We’re here to help you leave behind the cycle of harsh products, empty promises, and skin damage — and to guide you toward care that lifts you up, builds you up, and helps you feel confident in your own skin.

If you’re ready to choose skin care that respects you — your goals, your heritage, your health — we welcome you to start that journey with us

The Business of Cars: How Used Car Sales Are Evolving in the Philippines

The Business of Cars: How Used Car Sales Are Evolving in the Philippines

The used car market in the Philippines is growing rapidly, driven by digital platforms, increasingly savvy consumers, and a steady supply of pre-owned cars. Mobee Cars leads this shift by offering a complete end-to-end online selling process, from valuation to payment, making car selling easier, safer, and more transparent.

The used car market in the Philippines is experiencing  rapid transformation, driven by digital innovation, growing consumer sophistication, and a maturing automotive ecosystem. With an estimated 400,000 used car transactions per year and an average ticket size ranging from PHP 450,000 to PHP 600,000 per unit, the industry is becoming a more dominant contributor tothe country’s mobility sector. As technology reshapes buying and selling dynamics, the business of used cars no longer resides within dealerships and classified ads—it’s about accessibility, transparency, and efficiency.

The Shift: What’s Driving Growth in the Used Car Market?

Two key forces are fueling the expansion of the used car market:

1. Maturing New Car Market & Increased Supply

  • As the new car market expands, vehicles naturally transition into the secondary market after a few years. This steady supply of pre-owned cars is enriching the ecosystem, creating a more structured resale market.

2. Smarter Spending & Digital Access

  • More Filipinos are becoming savvy consumers, recognizing the depreciation curve of new vehicles and choosing used cars as a practical alternative.

  • The rise of online marketplaces and classified platforms have democratized access to used cars, making transactions easier and more transparent than ever before.

  • First-time car buyers are opting for used cars over entry-level new models, often preferring higher-end pre-owned cars over base-model new ones.

Image

How Technology is Reshaping Used Car Sales

The traditional way of buying and selling used cars—through physical dealerships and word-of-mouth—has drastically changed. Today, digital solutions are removing geographical limitations and making transactions more efficient.

Key Digital Trends Shaping the Industry

  • Online Marketplaces Dominate – The shift to digital platforms has created a more competitive and transparent pricing environment. Buyers now have access to thousands of listings at their fingertips, while sellers can reach more potential buyers instantly.
  • Pricing Transparency & Competition – With price visibility across various platforms, sellers are more informed, and buyers benefit from market-driven competition, ensuring fairer pricing.

  • End-to-End Digital Transactions – Platforms like Mobee Cars are digitizing the entire process—from valuation, inspection and listing, to document verification and payment facilitation—eliminating the hassle of traditional selling methods.

The Investment Opportunity in Used Cars

Despite its significant role in the economy, the used car industry in the Philippines is still in its infancy in terms of infrastructure, policies, and financing support. With used car transactions accounting for an estimated 1% of the country’s GDP, the spillover effects—ranging from logistics and storage to financing and after sales services—are massive.

Challenges and Untapped Potential

  • Limited Financing for Used Cars – Consumer financing is a major driver of new car sales, but banks and financial institutions have low appetite for used car loans due to the risks associated with valuation and transparency.
  • Lack of Standardized Documentation – The industry still lacks a streamlined process for verifying ownership and condition, leading to transaction risks.

  • Scattered Supply Chain – Car dealers struggle with inventory consistency, while sellers face difficulties in finding reliable buyers at fair prices.

If financial institutions were to partner with platforms like Mobee, these risks could be mitigated through verified inspections, secure documentation processes, and transparent pricing, making financing more viable for used cars.

Image

How Mobee is Leading the Transformation

Mobee Cars is positioned as the first end-to-end used car platform in the Philippines, bridging the gap between car sellers and buyers. Unlike classified ads or offline auctions, Mobee facilitates the entire transaction online:

  • Sellers receive an instant valuation based on real-time market data.
  • Vehicles are listed for 300+ nationwide car dealers to bid on, ensuring competitive offers.
  • Inspections, documentation, and payments are all handled within the platform, making transactions secure and efficient.

For car dealers, Mobee solves the  supply challenge by providing them with consistent, quality-verified used cars—essentially reshaping the supply chain of used vehicle distribution in the Philippines.

The Future of Used Car Sales in the Philippines

As the market continues to evolve, several factors will shape its future:

  • More structured regulations to streamline transactions and protect buyers/sellers.
  • Increased consumer financing for used cars as transparency improves.
  • Further integration of AI-driven pricing and inspection models to enhance market efficiency.

With a growing economy, shifting consumer awareness, and increased digital adoption, the used car industry is poised for massive growth and transformation in the coming years.

Plastic Credits Are Booming. This Platform Wants to Keep It Honest.

Plastic Credits Are Booming. This Platform Wants to Keep It Honest.

A new global resource aims to bring transparency and credibility to the global plastic crisis’ rapidly growing solution: plastic credits.

In 2018, a German brand producing vegan condoms, Einhorn, contacted a young ocean impact organisation, Seven Clean Seas, with a curious request. “We want to be as good-for-the-world as possible, but we can’t avoid plastic in our packaging. Can we pay you to remove the same amount of plastic from the environment?” The resulting collaboration may have been the world’s first informal plastic credit transaction, years before the concept gained widespread attention.

Now, almost seven years later, the world has changed. And so has the market. Plastic credits have evolved from a fringe concept to a much-needed part of the solution. Seven Clean Seas, having built one of the leading consultancy teams in the waste reduction sector, has worked with global brands, governments, and events – including The Economist Group and FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 (The Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy) – to develop rigorous plastic footprinting, reduction strategies, and recovery solutions.

Seven Clean Seas' CTO, Oliver Kade, leading a client webinar. Photo courtesy of Seven Clean Seas.

Amid this momentum, plasticcredits.org launches as a new hub designed to keep the fast-growing market grounded in facts and integrity. Developed by the team behind Seven Clean Seas, the platform explains the fundamentals of plastic credits: what they are, how they’re generated and verified, which standards exist, and why high-integrity plastic crediting projects matter.

The launch follows a growing global interest, amplified by a 2024 World Bank report that endorsed plastic credits as a legitimate financing mechanism, if deployed responsibly. The publication served as a clear validation of the concept, but also a warning: without standards and transparency, the plastic credit market could repeat the missteps of the voluntary carbon market.

“People are waking up to the power of plastic credits—but also the risks,” said Seven Clean Seas CEO and Founder, Tom Peacock-Nazil. “We built plasticcredits.org to fill the knowledge gap and ensure that the right information is accessible before the market moves too fast.”

Plasticcredits.org is a knowledge-first resource. Its mission is to help sustainability professionals, corporate leaders, NGOs, and individuals alike make informed decisions by cutting through jargon, demystifying key processes, and highlighting what quality and impact really mean in this space.

The platform represents a strategic step in market maturity, offering a clear and unbiased view at a time when clarity is urgently needed.

“As the world scrambles for solutions to the plastic crisis, this is our invitation to the industry. Let’s get this right from the start.”

WA Wheatbelt to host Rabobank business transition and succession planning information sessions

WA Wheatbelt to host Rabobank business transition and succession planning information sessions

WA Wheatbelt-based primary producers have the opportunity to develop skills to assist with family farm succession and business transition at complimentary Rabo Client Council-hosted information sessions.

The practical Business Transition and Succession Planning information sessions will be held in Narrogin, Northam and Dalwallinu in early August.

The initiative has been led and funded by food and agribusiness banking specialist Rabobank’s Rabo Client Councils, a group of innovative, forward-thinking clients who are passionate about making a difference in their communities and support a range of activities designed to make a meaningful impact on the vibrancy and resilience of rural Australia.

The interactive sessions – which are free of charge – offer practical information, such as why family and business communication can be difficult and how to improve it, what makes a meeting work and how to take account of differing family goals.

The information sessions – which will be limited to 30 participants each and are not restricted to the bank’s clients – will be presented by content and facilitator partner, Transition Partners director Jim Benson.

Rabobank state manager for Western Australia Steve Kelly said considering the “complexities and challenges of generational transitions, it is important for family farming enterprises to develop knowledge in planning for business change and succession”.

Mr Kelly said “charting a course through this transition goes beyond merely addressing legal and financial matters – it necessitates creating plans and strategies that preserve the core values of the family farm and ensure the business’s long-term success”.

The session content includes how to start the conversation about business succession, Mr Kelly said. “During these sessions, participants will delve into key aspects of organising their initial meeting to discuss next steps in management, business, property and wealth transition. Additionally, practical tools will be offered to aid in the planning process, resolve family and business conflicts and address family-related issues,” he said.

The information sessions provide a supportive environment for couples and family members to attend together. These sessions offer farmers an opportunity to step away from their farm activities and engage in collective learning experiences.

Mr Kelly said initiating proactive planning is important for ensuring a smooth business transition. “Starting succession planning early is important, as postponing the process and essential discussions can lead to conflicts due to differing individual expectations.”

The Rabo Client Council network is focussed on developing meaningful grassroots initiatives to support key themes focusing on building industry capacity, championing rural wellbeing, sustainability and strengthening the rural-urban connection.

Mr Kelly said the information sessions are intended to empower primary producers and help provide them with essential tools for achieving success.

“These sessions provide primary producers with the key tools to develop continuity plans, helping ensure the long-term success of family farming enterprises for future generations. Moreover, the positive impact extends beyond individual farms, bolstering rural and regional communities and enhancing the resilience of the local agricultural sector.”

Since launching the program in 2024, the Rabo Client Councils have delivered 13 of these sessions across the country, to date providing family farm succession and business transition skills and tools to over 300 participants.

“If you’re interested in attending a session, keen to meet other progressive farming families and develop new skills, confirm your place before the sessions are fully allocated,” Mr Kelly said.

Information session details:

Tuesday, 5 August 2025 – 8.30am – 2.00pm (Narrogin)Wednesday, 6 August 2025 – 8.30am – 2.00pm (Tamworth)Thursday, 7 August 2025 – 8.30am – 2.00pm (Dalwallinu)

To register to participate, visit the Rabobank website or click Succession Sessions: Business Transition & Succession Planning 

Morning tea and lunch will be provided.

Bookshelf PH Launches Sari-sari Stories: Book of Pride

Bookshelf PH Launches Sari-sari Stories: Book of Pride

Bookshelf PH launched Sari-sari Stories: Book of Pride on June 11, 2025, featuring eight original stories by Filipino authors that celebrate LGBTQIA+ love, identity, and courage. Released for Pride Month, the anthology continues the publisher’s mission to amplify diverse voices in Philippine literature.

Independent publisher Bookshelf PH officially launched the latest installment of the Sari Sari Stories Collection: Book of Pride, at the SM Podium Book Nook last June 11, 2025.

The new anthology features eight original stories from Filipino authors that explore themes of love, identity, and courage within the LGBTQIA+ community. Weaving together a multi-genre experience, spanning from gripping mysteries to heart-wrenching dramas, the collection highlights individual journeys amid a collective advocacy for equality.

During the launch, the attending authors reflected on the inspiration behind their work. They underscored that the stories primarily centering on queer narratives also hold a broader message of self-acceptance and belonging.

“As we continuously tell diverse stories, this book not only aims to educate but also resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to be seen, heard, or loved for who they truly are,” Michelle Dulinayan, Managing Editor of Bookshelf PH.

The Book of Pride is the third entry of Bookshelf PH’s Sari-Sari Stories Collection, a diverse compendium of Filipino culture told only from the lens of Filipino authors. This new selection is written by eight local authors emerging in the Philippine writing scene: Lucky Charles N. Historia, Shanelle B. Recheta, Kae Espejo, JsslAwra, Evan Orias, Zerodegreescelsius, Dhan Duringo, and Jastine Beatrice Yap. Released as an homage for Pride Month this June, Bookshelf PH and its authors continue to tackle their mission of inclusive storytelling.

“We want this to be a warm embrace for all of the stories that we keep hidden—a message that there exists no light we must step away from but only one that shines within each of us if we allow it to,” Monette Quioge, Managing Partner of Bookshelf PH, says.

Sari-sari Stories: Book of Pride is now available on Bookshelf PH’s website (bookshelf.com.ph) and major e-commerce platforms.
