Recalling the history, Nisce Skin ‘n Face has touched so many beautiful lives. The clinic was in fact a fruit of passion passed on to Atty. Blaise Nisce and Marie Antoinette Nisce by their mother Dr. Edna Talavera- Nisce. They started the business at San Fernando City, La Union, treating diseases of the skin, hair and nails back then. As a respond to the growing demand, they decided to increase their clinics putting their second in Pangasinan and eventually in Metro Manila.

The clinic offers wide range of glam treatment such as facial services, photo-remodelling LHE (Light and Heat Energy), IPL (Intense Pulse Light), collagen remodeling, peels, contour for slimming and tightening, eye bag and eye wrinkle treatment, skin whitening, and bleaching.

Residential living is expected to blossom in Sta. Rosa City, Laguna as the multi-awarded real estate company, DDC Land Inc. nears the completion of its flagship project Garden Villas.

Stretching out for 70 hectares, the 8,000-unit project is the biggest affordable housing development in Sta. Rosa City. While it was not originally meant to be a themed community, the development of several flower gardens in the area and the general preservation of its lush surroundings have transformed it to a green residential area.

One of its major features is its in-built commercial area, the Garden Plaza Mall that will serve the needs of both the homeowners and visitors. The community has amenities that are sure to meet the varying interests of its populace. For sporting activities, Garden Villas has several basketball courts, spacious roads made especially to accommodate joggers that wish to pursue their healthy habit in the midst of a fresh and quiet environment. Meanwhile, social functions can be held at its club house.

Located at the heart of Sta. Rosa City, Garden Villas is also situated in the midst of varying institutions in order to provide convenience to its homeowners. For educational needs, the residential area is minutes away from several learning facilities in the area. Meanwhile, medical needs can also be met by a number of health centers surrounding the development.

Every house in Garden Villas is constructed with concrete pouring technology. This allows the company to achieve optimum strength and durability for the units that meet the needs of growing Filipino families. Garden Villas offers Mediterranean-inspired, modern contemporary duplex and quadruplex houses, that come with lofts and attics that will enable homeowners to expand vertically should they need to without interrupting the excess lot spaces surrounding the structures. Each house also comes with designs that allow residents to maximize space usage.

With 16 years of experience in real estate development, DDC is currently one of the leaders in the affordable housing market in Southern Luzon. Since its inception back in 1991 the company has specialized in building affordable, executive-like residential subdivisions in the country. Its housing units boast of larger-than-average floor areas per unit, less congestion and increased privacy due to the spaces between houses, stylishly designed housing units, and greater durability while keeping its prices at par with industry standards.

Currently, the company is gearing up for a major expansion into the competitive Greater Metro Manila Area with a mix of high end and affordable housing developments in Paranaque and Cavite. And with the development of Garden Villas, its identity continues to blossom within the real estate industry.

For the past six years, the Philippines has been one of the highest growing countries for Skil, one of the most recognized brands in the global power tool industry. Skil is giving back to the Philippine community through its recent philanthropic endeavor Paint the Town Red, which aims to construct 40 basketball half-courts in 40 selected barangays nationwide.

The campaign underscores Skil’s commitment to creating sustainable corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects aimed at community building and youth development.

“Skil is investing in sustainable CSR projects that do more than just widen brand awareness and visibility. The main idea is to do good and to do well. Through Paint the Town Red, Skil does not only build basketball courts for communities to enjoy, but we also donate small power tools for their various projects,” said William Go, Bosch Power Tools Country Sales Director. “In partnership with local government units, we are able to conduct hands-on training workshops and seminars for members of the community to teach them how to properly use power tools as a source of livelihood.”

The campaign also brought Skil ambassador and champion basketball coach Norman Black onboard to exemplify the brand’s strong American heritage and commitment to delivering precision and performance to a range of power tool users.
“Coach Norman is more than just a poster boy for the brand, he is Skil personified. He gets the job done, whether for basketball or for the carpentry projects he does at home. In line with the campaign’s mission to contribute to grassroots youth development, Coach Norman is the perfect role model to inspire and engage the youth to get into sports as a fun and healthy outlet with all its physical and social benefits,” said Martin Valenzuela, Skil Brand Manager.

Paint the Town Red recently turned over the first of 40 basketball half-courts to Barangay Bangkal in Makati with more than 100 barangay residents and guests in attendance. Among esteemed attendees were Congresswoman Monique Lagdameo, Barangay Chairman Fermin Eusebio, Bosch Philippines Managing Director Joseph Hong and Skil Brand Ambassador Norman Black. After Bangkal, Skil will take the campaign on the road with stopovers in other communities in Manila and Cebu.

To strengthen its relationship with local communities, Skil and Robert Bosch, Inc. continue to support various advocacies, namely Class of 2010, Habitat for Humanity and MyShelter’s Liter of Light among others. These projects form part of the company’s initiative to uplift the Philippine society and contribute to the evolving economy.

Berjaya Philippines, led by Country Manager Paul Soo, formally turned over the houses in Berjaya GK Village in Upper Bolonsiri, Camaman-an, Cagayan de Oro City. 200 homes were turned over to families who were greatly affected by Typhoon Sendong. Berjaya GK Village sits on a two-hectare property and was built in cooperation with the local government of CDO led by Mayor Vicente Emano and the City Council. Throughout the two-month construction period, Berjaya officials and employees took time to volunteer to paint the structures which are now homes to some 700 individuals.

Berjaya Philippines is one of the first companies to respond to the needs of the typhoon victims. As soon as Berjaya Group’s founder Tan Sri Dato Seri Vincent Tan knew about the disaster, Berjaya Philippines reached out to Gawad Kalinga and committed to build 200 homes.
