The milestone event, which championed Bioessence’s contribution in providing world-class beauty and wellness services, took place at The Blue Leaf Cosmopolitan in Quezon City on September 26, 2024.

Thousands of guests have enjoyed an evening of entertainment, surprises, and a retrospective of Bioessence's 30 years of existence. Founded in 1994, Bioessence has grown from a small 3-bed beauty clinic chain into a renowned wellness brand with multiple branches located in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

The brand’s Pearl anniversary celebration brought together key opinion leaders, stakeholders, loyal customers, and influential figures who have contributed to Bioessence's success over the past three decades. It also welcomed VIPs, clients, and media colleagues for a vibrant night of beauty and wellness.

In addition to socializing and networking among beauty and wellness enthusiasts, the brand also mounted several exciting activities for attendees, promising a night that truly redefines care.

The Philippines' Bossa Nova singer Sitti and The Crooner Richard Poon serenaded the crowd and made the night extra special with their delightful mix of hits and covers. Other performers include Aliw Award winner MOBB, along with up-and-coming singers Bugs and Jarlo Base.

Apart from the live music performances, the anniversary also put a spotlight on the evolution of Bioessence, while revealing new innovations in services and products in partnership with OxygenCeuticals, an oxygen-based skincare brand from South Korea. One of the other most anticipated parts of the event was the unveiling of the company’s new brand ambassador: Jennica Garcia, who graced the audience with her beauty and simplicity.

With a goal of expanding its portfolio of services, Bioessence also introduced a new machine called Harmony, complementing its existing advanced non-invasive treatments Exilis and Plasma, showcasing that Bioessence has the complete solution for beautiful skin and body.

Collecting in Real Time: Toki’s Top 5 Livestream Auction Moments

Livestream auctions are the ultimate thrill ride—bidders battling it out in real-time, and the energy is electric. Toki, the first social commerce platform for collectibles here in the Philippines, has taken this excitement to a whole new level. They've created a virtual space where collectors can not only score awesome stuff but also hang out and interact.

Here are the top 5 moments from Toki's livestream auctions that totally stole the show:

Moment 1: Bigboy Cheng’s PHP 45K Funko Pop Madness

Famous collector BigBoy Cheng auctioning the Family and Friends Exclusive Funko Pop.

Funko Pops are all the rage, and when Bigboy Cheng dropped the Family and Friends Exclusive Funko Pop, collectors went wild. The bids soared as fans from everywhere tried to snag this rare gem, especially since all proceeds benefited those who were affected by Typhoon Carina. The livestream bid ended with a jaw-dropping PHP 45,000 price tag, setting a new record for the most expensive item ever sold via auction on Toki.

Moment 2: The Epic 9-Hour Auction Marathon

Hubbyte Toy Store's previous livestream auction on Toki impressively ran for nine hours.

Toki’s usual auctions are about 1.5 hours, but one of Hubbyte Toy Store's shows stretched to an insane nine hours! Bidders and viewers were glued to their screens as the livestream featured everything from Demon Slayer Nendoroids to Bandai One Piece Gashapons. Just when you thought the auction was over, the audience kept on clamoring for more! Viewers would request for their toy lines and Hubbyte would comply after some lighthearted teasing. Talk about the Toki community’s passion!

Moment 3: TheMonYu’s NBA Bonanza – Over 100 Items Sold!

Toki’s livestream auction with The MonYu’s NBA collection had over 100 items sold.

NBA fans, rejoice! TheMonYu’s huge NBA memorabilia collection went under the hammer and it was a hit. More than 100 items, including cards of legends like Michael Jordan and LeBron James, were sold in a single livestream. TheMonYu’s haul was a major win for collectors and set a new benchmark for most items sold in a Toki auction.

Moment 4: 17 Minutes of Pure Adrenaline, Rapid-Fire Bidding

Collector BigBoy Cheng’s auction for the China Blue Funko Pop skyrocketed from P3,000 to P10,000 in just 17 minutes. 

The Big Boy Cheng China Blue Funko Pop auction further reinforced the concept of suspense in Toki’s livestream auctions. Priced at a seemingly reasonable P3,000 when the bidding commenced to ascend rapidly as the entire livestream was closely watched. The bidders were outbidding each other as the tension mounted before the final bid of P10,000 was reached, all within 17 minutes! This moment further underlined how collectible Funko Pops are in isolation when they become super exclusive and rare!

Moment 5: 500+ Viewers for Kokoy de Santos’ Debut Auction

The launch of actor Kokoy de Santos’ first livestream auction with Toki.

Toki’s auctions are already unique, but actor Kokoy de Santos’ first one is a game changer. Kokoy, an indie artist and former sticker collector turned art aficionado, drew in more than 500 viewers on various platforms. He auctioned off Funko Pop from across different lines and as a bonus, performed a snippet from a BINI dance for his engaged fans. At the end of the auction, as a thank you to all the viewers commenting during the livestream on the Toki website, he raffled off exclusive Toki x Secret Fresh t-shirts that he autographed. The auction definitely showcased Toki's commitment to foster a vibrant community and creating engaging experiences for all.

These moments are just a glimpse of the excitement Toki brings to the table. Whether it's record-breaking auctions or high-energy bidding led by influencers, Toki’s livestream auctions are always a blast. Don’t miss out—check out www.tokiasia.com and who knows, you might just score big!

Taylor's Play Cafe: The Ideal Spot for Kids' Playtime and Parents' Downtime


Inspired by the bright spirit and boundless energy of her daughter, Donnah Montemayor’s vision for Taylor's Play Café was borne of a personal struggle—balancing the demands of taking care of Taylor in a playground while trying to get work done. More than just a play space for children, the space offers parents a peaceful haven for much-needed relaxation and productivity, whichever you need at the time. Built on a foundation of love and care for the well-being of both children and parents, the café’s creation stems from a simple truth: being a parent is a delicate balancing act between work, life, and play. Taylor's Play Café continues to evolve as a place where families can find that (im)perfect harmony.

In partnership with Bloss Villafuerte, owner and director of Smallville Montessori Preschool, Taylor's Play Café weaves the magic of Montessori principles into every aspect of its play environment. Bloss’ expertise in early childhood education ensures that as children explore, learn, and have fun, they are engaged in activities thoughtfully designed to nurture their natural curiosity and encourage independent play. The indoor playground offers a perfect blend of energy and tranquility, as it offers action-packed areas for active play, while also offering cozy corners for calm and quiet activities. From diving into ball pits and slides, to quiet reading nooks and imaginative play - the play area has something for every mood and interest! Parents can relax, confident that their children are in a safe, enriching space that values both play and growth.

What truly sets Taylor's Play Café apart is its seamless blend of engaging, hands-on play areas for children and a cozy, relaxing café space for parents. Whether parents are looking for a productive spot to work or a quiet moment to enjoy a warm drink, the café is thoughtfully crafted to cater to the needs of both children and adults. While kids enjoy supervised, stimulating play, parents can unwind and take the well-deserved break they need.

Every corner of Taylor's Play Café has been carefully crafted with today’s families in mind. From play areas that spark creativity in kids to a welcoming café atmosphere for parents, this is a place where families can recharge together. We believe that when parents have time to relax, children thrive in an even more engaging and joyful environment.

At Taylor’s Play Café, it’s more than just play — it’s about bringing families together, fostering friendships, and creating lasting memories. Inspired by the everyday joys and challenges of parenting, we invite you to make us a part of your family’s routine. Whether you’re getting work done or catching up with friends while the kids are in school, letting them play after school or on weekends, or simply enjoying a light snack or sweet treat together, we have something for everyone. Our play passes start at P150 for 30 minutes. Some of our café favorites include bacon and cheese puffs, familia ensaymada, toasted bagels with avocado cream cheese and alfalfa sprouts, grilled cheese sandwiches, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and a wide variety of delicious coffee beverages.

Come visit us at Taylor's Play Café, located at G/F, The Strip Mall (formerly Industria Mall), Circulo Verde, Calle Industria, Brgy. Bagumbayan, Quezon City. We are open every day, from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. We can't wait to welcome you and your little ones into our cozy space!
