Mayor Isko Moreno and Mrs. Dynee to lead as Hermano and Hermana Mayor at Flores de Mayo in Manila

Tweet

Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko” Moreno Domagoso has graciously accepted the invitation to serve as Hermano Mayor of Flores de Mayo, with his wife, Mrs. Diana Lyn “Dynee” Domagoso, accepting the role of Hermana Mayor, lending their full support to the revival of a cherished celebration of faith, culture, and fashion.

Set on May 3, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at The Manila Hotel and Quirino Grandstand, this year’s theme, “Dalisay at Halimuyak”, draws from the ideas of purity and fragrance. During a courtesy call by The Manila Hotel President Atty. Joey Lina, Mayor Isko expressed his support for the event and the value of initiatives that uplift the community, honor Manila’s legacy, and create opportunities for artists and designers to contribute to a tradition deeply rooted in Filipino faith and identity. He noted, “Maaalala natin ang pamana sa atin.”

The event is mounted by The Manila Hotel, in partnership with the City Government of Manila and the Fashion Designers Association of the Philippines (FDAP), with support from Manila, My Manila of the Department of Tourism, Culture and Arts of Manila (DTCAM).

A long-standing Catholic tradition in the Philippines dating back to the 1800s, Flores de Mayo remains one of the country’s enduring expressions of Marian devotion. At The Manila Hotel, the celebration assumed a distinctive place in Manila’s cultural calendar beginning in 1979 through the Congregacion del Santisimo Nombre de Niño Jesus, established that same year with Ben Farrales, the Dean of Filipino Fashion, as founding chair.

From the outset, the tradition linked Marian devotion with Manila’s cultural life. Revived in 2019 before being paused by the pandemic, it returns this year as a tribute to a city where faith, culture, and fashion continue to meet.

This year’s celebration also carries a meaningful social purpose, with proceeds and partnerships intended to benefit Young Focus and the Children’s First 1000 Days Coalition, supporting programs for children, families, education, and nutrition.

Further expressing his enthusiasm for the procession, Mayor Isko said: “Wala nang gasolinang kailangan dahil lakad ito. Ang ganda naman… we practice what we preach. Sabi ko, energy saving.” His remark reflected his support for a celebration that offers hope and solidarity amid today’s global challenges.

Meanwhile, the event is also in close coordination with government partners for security and traffic management for an orderly celebration. The Philippine National Police (PNP) hascommitted at least 300 personnel for security, while the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will assist in traffic management. The participation of the Armed Forces of the Philippines as arch bearers is also being arranged.

With Mayor Isko and Mrs. Domagoso serving as Hermano Mayor and Hermana Mayor, Flores de Mayo at The Manila Hotel is poised to become one of Manila’s most visible cultural events of the season — honoring a beloved Filipino tradition while reaffirming the capital’s place as a center of devotion, heritage, and civic life.

Goodday Takes Over the Season with Its ‘Summer All’ Campaign

Tweet

When you look at your socials during the summer, blink, and your feed is already packed with beach sunsets, island-hopping clips, and out-of-town escapes that look straight out of a travel vlog. It’s the season of getaways, and as the posts keep coming, it’s hard not to pause and think, “Sana all!”

But summer doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s highlight reel. While some are off chasing waves, others are finding joy right where they are—spending the season in the city, discovering simple pleasures, and creating their own kind of fun. It’s a reminder that summer can be just as meaningful and memorable, even in everyday moments.

The season can manifest itself in many different moments, big or small. This can show up in small pauses in between busy days, where you just go for a walk or go on a quick merienda break. This can also be those fun little after-office hangouts that stretch into the evening, or basking in the sunset during golden hour, just as the city starts to slow down.

Summer is not just a season of fun and excitement; it’s also a season of relaxation and a great time to meditate, reflect, and rest in the midst of busy months and seasons.

These small moments—unplanned, everyday, and shared—are where summer truly lives.

This season, Goodday invites Filipinos to rediscover that feeling through its “Summer All” campaign, a celebration of the idea that summer isn’t a destination. It’s a vibe you can find wherever you are.

When it comes to helping you make summer truly yours, Goodday helps you stay ready for the spontaneous and simple shared summer moments. Together with Cloud 7, its ambassadors, Goodday brings “Summer All” to life by cherishing the little moments that turn the season into something memorable. Whether you’re out exploring, unwinding after a long day, or simply enjoying a quick pause, you can own summer in your own way.

Summer is all about unwinding and feeling refreshed, and every sip should match that vibe. With its cool, fizzy burst, it’s like being transported to the beach, soaking up the sun, and letting your worries drift away.

It’s also the perfect companion for all kinds of summer moments, whether you’re cooling down after a busy day at work with your officemates, taking in the golden hour view, or relaxing after a spontaneous weekend adventure.

However you choose to enjoy it, Goodday is there to remind you of those fun, carefree summer celebrations, and that refreshing feeling of a tropical escape, anytime you need it.

With every sip of Goodday, which contains paraprobiotics for immunity support, ensures that you stay healthy during the warm seasons and enjoy your summer moments hassle-free. Whether it be a quick sip during a summer adventure or as your drink of choice after a meal, Goodday helps you stay refreshed.

Sometimes, summer isn’t about relaxing vacations and exciting getaways; it’s knowing that summer can be experienced and celebrated even in the simplest of moments.

Find out more about how you can celebrate Summer All with Goodday via Facebook and share the enjoyment with your buddies.

Beyond the Mirror: Dr. Ruthlyn Pecolera-Salvosa and Verde Creatives Redefine Beauty, Resilience, and Inclusivity at the 2026 BlogCon

Tweet

Dr. Ruthlyn Pecolera-Salvosa, ENT-Facial Plastic Surgeon and founder of RPS Aesthetics

Aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty specialist Dr. Ruthlyn Pecolera-Salvosa, shares a deeper look at aesthetic care. At the intimate bloggers conference held yesterday, April 15, 2026 hosted by Verde Creatives, Dr. Ruthlyn Pecolera-Salvosa, ENT-Facial Plastic Surgeon and founder of RPS Aesthetics, shared that "most patients who seek cosmetic procedures are not chasing perfection but looking for a renewed sense of self-assurance."

This year 2026, Verde Creatives' Bloggers Conference hosts and gives us a diflerent kind of conversation on beauty, featuring Dr. Ruthlyn Pecolera-Salvosa - a surgeon whose philosophy is rooted not in vanity but in the "Psychology of Confidence".

As the Philippine acsthetic industry moves away from purely cosmetic alterations toward a more holistic understanding of self-image, Dr. Salvosa has emerged as a pivotal figure in this transformation.

In a strategic partnership with Verde Creatives, the event will serve as a focal point for social media influencers to document Dr. Salvosa's mission to elevate the standards of beauty and self-confidence in the Philippines.

The "Nose Fairy" and the Genesis of a Vocation

Dr. Salvosa's profound sense of service began at age four when she witnessed a doctor solve her sister's two-year medical mystery involving a foul-smelling nasal discharge by removing a foreign body. This carly encounter with the "magic'" of surgical resolution steered her toward medicine.

Today, she leverages her rigorous Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) training to seamlessly balance acsthetic form with internal respiratory function. Her technical precision and ability to fix complicated revision surgeriesprocedures where previous surgeries by other doctors had failed carned her the affectionate moniker of the "Nose Fairy" from her patients.

The Architecture of Confidence: Core Principles

Challenging the "copy-paste" formulas often seen in modern cosmetic surgery. Dr. Salvosa champions "Natural Look Aesthetics". She proves that the most successful surgery is the one that is "visually undetectable". Her practice, RPS Aesthetics, is governed by several core tenets:

• Customized Care: She rejects trendy designs, ensuring every procedure honors an individual's unique bone structure, facial symmetry, and identity so they wake up feeling as though they were "born that way".

• The "Morning Mirror" Effect: Her practice prioritizes the powerful feeling of self- assurance patients experience when they like their bare reflection, recogizing that mental health and self-image are inextricably linked.

• Ethical Transparency: Employing a "friendship-first" philosophy, she dedicates 30 to 60 minutes for initial consultations to assess emotional readiness. She sets a striet cthical benchmark by refusing surgery to those with unrealistic expectations.

• Functional Integrity: Utilizing specialized ENT surgical tools and techniques, she ensures that any aesthetic modification to the nose enhances functional respiratory outcomes alongside aesthetic ones.

Resilience in the Face of Adversity

Dr. Salvosa's rise to the top of a male-dominated surgical field was forged through immense personal and professional resilience. Early in her career, she frequently met with skepticism due to her young and petite appearance. Rather than being deterred. she let her calm demeanor and technical precision in the operating room serve as her primary advocate, turning doubt into 
national admiration.

Her journey is also marked by pro found heartbreak: during a high-risk pregnancy with triplets. she tragically suffered the loss oftwo ofher babies. Supported by her husband, Don, this period of deep reflection strengthened her dedication to her surviving son and her vocation, teaching her to balance the demanding roles of mother and surgeon.

A Strategic Synergy for Inclusivity

This narrative of resilience and dignity perfectly mirrors the advocacy of Verde Creatives. Founded by Ms. Bemz Benedito. a recipient ofthe Global Transgender Hero award, the agency is celebrated for championing "All Kinds of Love." LGBTQIA+ inclusivity, and community support for marginalized areas like Payatas.

 Ms. Bemz Benedito, Verde Creatives Head and Founder

Together, Dr. Salvosa and Verde Creatives are educating digital influencers to shift the narrative of acsthetic surgery away from surface-level vanity toward a deeper understanding of how these procedures contribute to a person's overall quality of life.

Looking Ahead: "Bigger, Bolder, and Brighter"

Reflecting Dr. Salvosa's vision of integrated care. RPS Aesthetics has evolved into a multidisciplinary "one-stop shop" employ ing dermatologists and other surgeons to address comprehensive beauty and wellness concerns. The clinic's operational excellence extends globally, offering a comprehensive 14-day protocol and medical travel clearances for international patients-such as those traveling from Canadato ensure full healing and support.

Having captivated audiences across League Magazine, the Philippine Daily Inquirer, the Philippine Star. and a milestone national television feature on Rated K, Dr. Salvosa's story continues to inspire. Attendees at the upcoming conference will gain exclusive insights into the future of RPS Aesthetics, which Dr. Salvosa promises will be "Bigger, Bolder, and Brighter."
