Tweet

Since its establishment 38 years ago, Golden Haven has been known as the developer of the country’s most beautiful memorial parks. Combining elegant architecture with verdant greenery, all Golden Haven memorial parks live up to this aesthetically impeccable image.

However, one Golden Haven memorial park stands out as the most Instaworthy, a coveted status in this digital age when memories are not simply stored in one’s heart but also chronicled in social media.

Golden Haven Cebu, a mountaintop-sanctuary-inspired memorial property, is one such picturesque haven—all 13 hectares of it! Located on Binaliw Road just outside the city, the memorial park features manicured gardens and lush landscaping that harmonize with its Italian-inspired amenities like the Pope John Paul II Memorial Hill, the Koi Pond, and the Butterfly Garden Plaza, among others.

Attesting to Golden Haven Cebu’s exceptional features, the “Best Memorial Park Landscape Architectural Design” award was, in fact, bestowed on it in the recently held Philippine Property Awards.

It’s not a surprise, then, that Golden Haven Cebu is fastly gaining popularity as a venue for prenuptial and pre-debut shoots, proving that the park is not just a tranquil resting place for the dearly departed—it is also a charming setting for recording happy milestones.

Cebu resident Kristine Sia, whose father is interred in the park, agrees, relating that she and her then fiance held their prenup shoot in Golden Haven Cebu. According to her, they chose the memorial park for its wonderful ambiance, which evokes everlasting peace and harmony.

“We also wanted to include my late father in the celebration of our momentous occasion, and acknowledge the big part he had in my life as my guiding light,” Kristine muses.

Golden Haven has been known as the developer of the country’s most beautiful memorial parks.

Without doubt, Golden Haven’s pristine setting offers engaged couples the perfect backdrop for a celebration of love and life, and gives more meaning to the vow, “Till death do us part.”

FedEx Collaborates With Local Social Enterprise To Upcycle Old Uniforms Into Sustainable Gifts

Tweet

FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and one of the world's largest express transportation companies, collaborated with Mori Notes to breathe new life into old uniforms as part of its sustainability initiatives. A total of 157 uniforms were transformed by Mori Notes into brand new FedEx organizers, which will be used as gifts to customers.

“As part of our commitment to positively impact our local communities, we are constantly incorporating sustainable solutions into more facets of our operations, including waste management,” said Maribeth Espinosa, Managing Director, FedEx Express Philippines. “Upcycling our old uniforms into FedEx-branded items is just one of the ways we can reduce waste and save precious resources.”

In March 2021, FedEx Express announced its goal to achieve carbon-neutral global operations by 2040.  The company has been focused on its sustainability efforts following a “Reduce, Replace, Revolutionize” approach. This includes reducing emissions and waste, replacing older technologies and vehicles with more efficient ones, and revolutionizing our operations with new technologies. With combined efforts from across the globe, FedEx was able to reduce its emissions intensity on a revenue basis by 45% from FY2009 through FY2021, a period when average daily package volumes grew by 180%[1].

Last year, FedEx discontinued the production of all seasonal paper products and printed calendars used in customer gifting in the AMEA region and instead introduced a new AMEA sustainability customer engagement program. Through this, we are planting 48,000 trees to honor our FedEx customers as they join us in our focus on environment protection.
