Manila Prince Hotel is celebrating Filipino artistry by showcasing a stunning gown designed by acclaimed fashion and wedding designer Ryan Chris in its showroom. He was one of the featured designers at the hotel’s inaugural Manila Bridal Fair, which took place on July 26 and 27, 2024, in the Grand Ballroom. Highlights of the event included a bridal fashion show where Ryan’s creations captivated the audience with their modern yet sophisticated flair.
As the CEO and President of Ryan Chris House of Fashion, he has established a brand that embodies timeless elegance with a contemporary fit.
Drawing inspiration from classic bridal styles, Ryan prefers refined silhouettes, soft ivory tones, and subtle details that maintain their beauty for decades. His designs often incorporate elements of Philippine heritage, honoring traditional craftsmanship while infusing a modern touch.
I began in the wedding industry as a planner, helping brides choose gowns before realizing I wanted to design them myself. My journey has always been about creativity, perseverance, and telling each bride’s unique story through her gown.
Manila Prince Hotel celebrates timeless beauty and elegance, the same values I bring to the Ryan Chris brand. This partnership is more than just showcasing a gown; it’s about inspiring others and sharing the story behind every creation.
CEO & President, Ryan Chris House of Fashion
Ryan’s passion for fashion began in childhood when his grandmother gifted him a wedding-themed coloring book, sparking a lifelong fascination with bridal gowns. In school, he would sketch dresses, and his classmates would excitedly choose their favorites.
From sketching dresses as a child to staging fashion shows featuring over 100 original designs, Ryan has become one of the country’s most sought-after designers. His work has been showcased in “Ofrendas de Flores” and “Sketches + Stitches,” a charity fashion show that benefits indigenous students and children with cancer.
“We are proud to support a local talent like Ryan Chris,” said Marvin Kim Tan, vice president for sales and marketing of Manila Prince Hotel. “His designs embody the style and quality we value, and we are delighted to have his work in our showroom.”
The gown is currently displayed at the Manila Prince Hotel showroom, allowing visitors to witness the artistry that has established Ryan Chris as a standout name in Philippine fashion.
The Manila Prince Hotel, a subsidiary of The Manila Hotel, is situated in the heart of Manila’s business district, providing easy access to the city’s historic tourist attractions and major transportation hubs. The hotel features 300 well-appointed rooms, six function rooms and ballrooms, an elegant lobby with a 24-hour reception, a business center, a swimming pool, and access to the gym, providing both value for money and stylish comfort.
Guests can enjoy excellent service and luxurious hospitality at two exciting dining outlets: Marcelino Street Café, an all-day dining restaurant, and Dragon Court, which specializes in Chinese cuisine. Additionally, the hotel boasts a speakeasy bar called Hyde Manila, a hidden gem that transports its patrons to a realm where time stands still, and cocktails are crafted with exceptional artistry.
The Manila Prince Hotel is also conveniently connected to the UN Square mall, offering a range of shopping and dining options. These features make the Manila Prince Hotel a top choice for both leisure and business travelers.

Kuala Lumpur, 07 August 2025 – Turn your maintenance into a competitive edge. PetroSync’s RCM training empowers teams to drive reliability and long-term operational success.
Facing Reliability Challenges in Modern Operations
In today’s competitive and high-stakes industrial landscape, equipment reliability isn’t just a technical issue—it’s a business priority. Many professionals like you are facing growing pressure to minimize downtime, optimize maintenance costs, and keep systems running smoothly without overextending budgets.
Whether you’re in oil and gas, manufacturing, energy, or utilities, the challenge remains the same: how do you ensure operational continuity without sacrificing performance or safety? Traditional maintenance approaches often fall short. Either they’re too reactive—fixing things only after failure—or too costly, involving unnecessary preventive routines that don’t align with real equipment risks.
That’s where a smarter, more structured method becomes critical.
How Reliability Centered Maintenance Can Transform Your Asset Strategy
Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is more than a buzzword—it’s a proven framework that helps organizations determine the most effective maintenance strategies for their assets. By analyzing failure modes, understanding system functions, and evaluating operational consequences, RCM ensures that maintenance tasks are aligned with real-world risk and performance requirements.
Instead of over-maintaining or under-maintaining assets, RCM helps you strike the right balance—targeting the right asset, with the right maintenance, at the right time. This methodology has been successfully applied across sectors, boosting system reliability while saving millions in maintenance and failure costs.
If you’re not yet familiar with the fundamentals of RCM, PetroSync provides a helpful introduction in their blog: Reliability Centered Maintenance
Real Benefits RCM Brings to Your Business
So what tangible benefits can you expect from implementing RCM?
✅ Reduced Unplanned Downtime By identifying potential failure modes early, RCM reduces unexpected equipment failures that halt production and impact revenue.
✅ Improved Safety & Compliance RCM places strong emphasis on safety-critical systems, helping organizations comply with industry regulations and maintain safe working environments.
✅ Lower Maintenance Costs Targeted maintenance means you avoid excessive preventive actions, saving both labor and material costs while maintaining high reliability.
✅ Enhanced Asset Performance RCM focuses on function-based analysis, ensuring each asset performs its intended role—maximizing performance over its entire lifecycle.
These benefits aren’t just theoretical—they’re being realized by organizations that have embedded RCM into their maintenance culture. But to implement it effectively, you need the right knowledge, tools, and practical insights.
Why Joining PetroSync’s RCM Training Makes the Difference
You don’t have to figure it out alone. PetroSync’s Reliability Centered Maintenance training course is designed for professionals like you who want to lead meaningful reliability transformations in their organizations.
This intensive training offers:
Real-world case studies and practical applications of RCM
Expert-led sessions covering asset criticality, FMEA, and decision logic
Insights you can immediately apply in your facility
Whether you’re a maintenance engineer, reliability professional, or operations leader, this course equips you with the skills to implement RCM with confidence.
And when you train with PetroSync, you’re not just attending a class—you’re joining a community of reliability-focused professionals across industries, all driven by excellence and continuous improvement.
About PetroSync Global Internasional
PetroSync was established in Singapore in 2010 and began its expansion into Indonesia in 2013. To this day, PetroSync has become a leading oil and gas training provider, with a participant passing rate as high as 90%.

The halls were jampacked. Indie and uprising bands blasting in the background, students waiting in queue, and communities came together. Nexus Academia became a center where music, gaming, arts, and community would collide into a new frontier.
For two days, students and young professionals came together to allow their passions to climb to new levels. There were moments of discovery and fun, brought to life by partners, community members, artists, hobbyists, gamers, and musicians.
OPM Serenades
OPM from indie to P-pop took center stage in the halls of Nexus Academia. The acts included artists Stella, Icy D, The Ridleys, PAHAM, Jerome Banaay, Cozyivy, Cleon, EYJI, AVI, As Far As We Know, Saintvvi, and many more.
There was never a moment without music filling the entire convention hall. Many found their new favorite artists as others danced through their favorite songs. SUD then capped off the event with a couple of their hits.
Community First
Attendees that entered Nexus Academia were greeted by community partner stalls that lined the venue on all sides. From tattoo artists to stalls from Gamer Girls Philippines, PIXEL by Eplayment, Combo Interactive, ALTF4, Peculiar Eyewear. Aezer, Pocky, Gnarly, Vybe, Bezel, TT Racing and more.
In one corner were those lined up at the food and drink stalls, and in another, those competing in board game tournaments or battling it out in Tekken and Streetfighter. Elsewhere, teams formed to play in friendly 5v5 in Honor of Kings matches, as well as the Jollibee’s Chickenjoy Big Bucket Game. The event became a melting pot of various communities where anyone could find an interest sphere to interact with.
The New Frontier
Produced by Tier One Entertainment, Nexus Academia became a step towards the new frontier that allows gaming, music, and arts to exist in one event. It was the first event that the organization mounted to further bring communities together in new and exciting ways.
“For years, Tier One Entertainment’s focus has been the gaming industry, from developing top tier talents to making a mark in the Esports world cup through Blacklist International, we’re more than proud of what we have achieved in almost a decade. However, we see that the future has to be beyond gaming. Today, gamers are not just playing anymore, they listen to music, they appreciate different forms of art, we have evolved and so has the vision of Tier One Entertainment. As we enter the next chapter, the next frontier is gaming music and arts.” – Tryke Gutierrez, CEO of Tier One Entertainment
If Nexus Academia was the start, next up is BLACKOUT Manila.
BLACKOUT Manila will be the culmination of Tier One Entertainment’s desire to be at the new frontier of gaming, music, and arts. BLACKOUT MANILA is not just a festival. It’s a declaration that gamers can be artists, that art can thrive digitally, and that music can be a movement.

HL Accelerator Secures Landmark Partnership for HL Pilipinas 1st Anniversary Summit After persistent advocacy from the Filipino HighLevel community, HighLevel Inc has officially agreed to support and sponsor one of the Philippines’ digital workforce development initiatives. The HL Pilipinas 1st Anniversary Summit, happening this Sunday, August 10, represents a breakthrough moment for Filipino freelancers and the nation’s digital economy goals.
Strategic Government Partnership Drives National Impact
Organized by HL Accelerator headed by Jay-Cee “Cece” Tan and Diana “Dea” Panganiban, the summit is co-organized by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) through its ICT Industry Development Bureau (IIDB) in collaboration with the Quezon City Local Government. The opening program will feature Atty. Leandro Angelo Aguirre of DICT, Quezon City Administrator Mr. Michael Victor N. Alimurung and Dir Emmy Lou V. Delfin, Director IV of ICT Industry Development Bureau, demonstrating full government support for this initiative.
The event directly supports the Empowering Digital Workers of the Gig Industry Ecosystem in the Philippines (EDGE PH) Program, aligning with DICT’s ambitious 8 Million Digital Jobs by 2028 roadmap. With 1,000 to 1,500 Filipino freelancers, digital workers, and SaaS agency builders expected to attend, the summit showcases how community-driven innovation can scale inclusive job creation across the archipelago.
One Year of Remarkable Growth
Since launching in 2024, HL Pilipinas has become one of the largest Filipino-led Highlevel communities dedicated to certifying professionals in CRM automation, SaaS operations, and remote agency workflows. Under Cece and Dea’s leadership, the program has achieved remarkable results: 90 percent of learners secure clients within 30 days, and 68 percent double their income through targeted training and mentorship.
The program has particularly excelled at enabling professionals from non-technical and underserved backgrounds to enter the digital workforce—a perfect match for DICT’s inclusive development goals.
Global Recognition Meets Local Expertise
HighLevel’s explosive growth—from USD 1 million revenue in 2020 to USD 82.7 million in 2024—reflects the platform’s dominance among over two million businesses worldwide. Through HL Accelerator’s initiatives, Filipino professionals are gaining international recognition for their skills in automation, CRM support, and funnel building, positioning the Philippines as a key global talent hub.
The summit features industry leaders including Alicia Pagano, Head of Certification at HighLevel Inc, who will present the official HighLevel Certified Admin Program. HL Accelerator has secured partnerships with HL Pro Tools and Level Up Marketplace, bringing insights through Mario Aldayuz (Head of Partnerships, HL Pro Tools) and Rupert Samuel (Founder & CEO, Level Up Marketplace) on advanced monetization strategies and custom app development opportunities.
Live Job Matching and On-Site Hiring Opportunities
Beyond education, the summit offers immediate career advancement through live job-matching sessions connecting Filipino talent with opportunities in Australia, the US, and UK markets. HL Accelerator is extending a special invitation to any Quezon City resident to drop by the venue and attend dedicated breakout rooms where over 10 agencies will conduct on-site interviews for Virtual Assistant positions between 2:00PM to 5:00PM, with potential for immediate hiring.
International speakers like Dakota Routh (Agency Support) and Pakistan’s Arham Abid (GHL Starboys) will share blueprints for scaling from freelancer to six-figure agency owner, while Filipino motivational speaker Chinkee Tan addresses the mindset shifts necessary for sustainable success.
Virtual Access and Cultural Celebration
HL Accelerator offers virtual live access for ₱497, providing the same high-value content as in-person participants, plus lifetime access to event recordings and the comprehensive HL Pilipinas Vault—eight complete training modules developed under Cece and Dea’s guidance. Virtual participants remain eligible for major raffle prizes totaling ₱50,000-₱100,000.
The Modern Filipiniana theme reflects HL Accelerator’s mission to blend Filipino heritage with global technological leadership, celebrating Filipino culture while positioning local talent for international dominance in the digital economy.
Measurable Impact on National Goals
The summit will report on digital jobs created over the past 12 months while recognizing the first cohort of certified HighLevel Admins. This data-driven approach aligns with DICT’s evidence-based strategy for achieving 8 million digital jobs by 2028.
“This summit proves that with the right tools, support, and partnerships, Filipino talent can lead in the global digital economy,” emphasizes the HL Accelerator team. “HighLevel finally saying yes to the Philippines marks the beginning of our country’s recognition as a premier destination for digital expertise.”
Limited Virtual Seats for Historic Event
The summit runs Sunday, August 10, from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM at the Quezon City M.I.C.E. Center. The ₱497 virtual access investment provides entry into the HL Accelerator community that’s actively reshaping the Philippine digital workforce landscape.

In a tech industry that is rapidly becoming more inclusive, empowering women with advanced technical skills and strong mentorship is crucial for closing the gender gap in the sector. With access to the right tools, women leaders can thrive individually and help shape a more dynamic and equitable digital future. This was a key highlight from the recent Women Up Top Masterclass launched by GCash, the country’s leading finance app and the largest cashless ecosystem.
The full-day event brought together 30 participants who earned certifications in Agile 101 and AI/ML Workflow and AutoML. Both courses were facilitated by women leaders within the GCash tech teams, showcasing the company’s commitment to internal mentorship and representation.
While significant strides have been made to improve representation, women in tech still face structural challenges, including fewer mentorship opportunities, limited access to advanced training, and underrepresentation in leadership roles. By equipping women with essential technical skills and leadership tools, this program underscores GCash’s commitment to fostering a more inclusive and future-ready digital workforce.
“Technology doesn’t run on code alone; it runs on people. And that includes data professionals, agile thinkers, machine learning engineers, and especially, women who bring not just skills, but empathy, intuition, and insight into every solution they help build,” GCash Head of Data Governance Sara Venturina shared a reminder that the success of any tech innovation depends as much on people as it does on code.
The Agile 101 session introduced participants to the principles and frameworks of the Agile methodology, a foundational capability in modern tech environments. Meanwhile, the AI/ML Workflow and AutoML session provided hands-on experience with the machine learning lifecycle, including practical work with PyCaret, an open-source, low-code machine learning library.
In addition to technical instruction, the masterclass fostered a sense of community among participants. Throughout the day, attendees shared insights, exchanged ideas, and experienced firsthand the support of peers and mentors who understand the unique challenges that women face in the tech industry.
As Venturina said, “We know the tech world hasn’t always made it easy for women. But we also know this: when women are equipped with the right tools and the right community, we can excel and get far in this field.”
GCash is committed to uplifting women and advancing their careers, reinforcing its dedication to creating a tech ecosystem that promotes diversity, equity, and empowerment.

In the world of network marketing, success stories often begin with hardship—and Exequila Bulac’s journey is no exception. As the Foundress of SRS Firearies Dynasty under REDinc, her rise from financial despair to inspiring leader is a powerful testimony of faith, perseverance, and determination.
Before discovering REDinc, Exequila worked as an employee at a financing company. A proud high school graduate, she had already achieved what many with limited education could only hope for—employment in a major company. But like many, she soon realized that a modest educational background often comes with a modest paycheck.
Everything changed when she became a mother. Her child’s medical operation demanded a huge sum, and with limited income, Exequila fell into overwhelming debt—reaching as high as one million pesos. Faced with unimaginable pressure and uncertainty, she turned to prayer. And through divine timing, help came.
Her sister, Mentor Ely, introduced her to REDinc. Though she knew nothing about multi-level marketing (MLM), Exequila made the bold decision to try. Her mindset shifted: “Why not learn it? What if this is the way out of poverty?”
On August 8, 2018, her life took a new direction. With the support of mentors Yam ‘YG’ Gavales, Vanesa Gavales, Michael Majan, and Rona Capuyan, Exequila gradually learned the ropes and began earning—impressively landing in the Top 15 Earners during her first year, all while doing REDinc part-time. As the pandemic struck and many relied on government aid, Exequila and her siblings thrived. They poured every waking hour into online networking, running on just two to three hours of sleep. But for Exequila, exhaustion was worth it if it meant covering her child’s medical needs.
But God’s blessings didn’t stop there. Her commitment to REDinc allowed her to buy her own house and lot, begin paying off her million-peso debt, and spend more time with her child—something she could only dream of before.
In 2022, she pushed herself further by combining online and offline networking. Stepping into face-to-face marketing brought new challenges—fear, discomfort, rejection—but Exequila kept going. Her secret? She focused on her dreams, not her doubts. Her courage inspired not only her own progress but also that of her growing team.
“To my REDinc partners,” she says, “keep dreaming. No matter how many rejections or criticisms you face, never give up. Be braver—for your dreams, for your family.” She extends her gratitude to the SRS-Global Family, her mentors, coaches, and all her partners across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. And most of all, to President Jayant Era of REDinc, for believing in their dreams.
Exequila’s story reminds us of one thing: “Sa networking hindi pwedeng puro UTAK ang gamitin dapat may PUSO ka din.” – Mentor Lec

During this extension, borrowers will not incur any additional interest or late fees, allowing them to focus on their recovery without added financial pressure.
