Light-and-sound, art production heralds Ayala Triangle Gardens

Sculpture by Ovvian Castrillo-Hill and site-specific installation by Moralde Arrogante featured in inaugural exhibit with theater of light
The unveiling of the Ayala Triangle Gardens on Nov. 19 will be marked by an exhibit of abstract sculpture and kinetic installations and a Christmas-themed theater of lights.
Located at the heart of the Central Business District, this will be the biggest public landscape–20,000 sq. m. of well-manicured lawns, tree-lined pathways and Wifi zones powered by Globe–in Makati. The Ayala Triangle Gardens will serve as a tropical pedestrian corridor which links people coming from Legaspi and Salcedo Village to other offices, shopping centers and commuter stations.
Although this new public space behind Tower One will primarily cater to office workers, it also aims to be a haven for families. The transformation of Tower One’s backyard to a garden-and-events venue offering family-friendly programs highlights Ayala Land’s democratic streak that seeks to make the arts accessible to the public and appealing to all ages.
For its initial art show, Ayala Triangle Gardens will feature the sculptures of Ovvian Castrillo-Hill, daughter of renowned sculptor Eduardo Castrillo, and the site-specific works of Moralde Arrogante.
From Nov. 20 to Dec. 24, from Monday to Friday, 6 to 7:30 p.m, the garden will present three 10-minute light and sound shows every 30 minutes, created by light designer Voltaire de Jesus and sound designer Jethro Joaquin. The themes will feature medleys celebrating Christ’s birth, Filipino Christmas songs and community celebrations.

Ayala Group underscores paradigm shift to sustainability
By Mary Ann Reyes (The Philippine Star) Updated November 11, 2009 12:00 AM
SOURCE: http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=522290&publicationSubCategoryId=63
MANILA, Philippines – “We are in a race against time,” Ayala Corporation chairman and chief executive officer Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala told some 300 key executives and managers of the Ayala Group of Companies who gathered yesterday for the first sustainability summit to discuss ways these companies can address urgent sustainability issues.
The one-day summit aimed to provide direction and additional impetus to the Ayala companies, six of which are publicly listed, to make significant adjustments to their strategies, business models, products, and operations.
“We have to recognize that we are in a race against time. But it will be more of a marathon rather than a sprint,” he said.
Zobel told The STAR that it will take some time before sustainability can be an integral part of their business, but the more important thing right now is that the managers are more aware that sustainability has to become part of their planning process.
Zobel pointed out the urgent need for a paradigm shift toward sustainability and a change in the way businesses do things.
For one, he noted that society is on a dangerously unsustainable track. As resources become increasingly scarce, he said tensions are building up. “We should be part of the solution rather than the problem. We must gear ourselves to be solution providers,” he emphasized.
Among those in attendance were Ayala Corp. president and chief operating officer Fernando Zobel de Ayala, senior managing directors Jaime Ayala, Gerardo Ablaza Jr. and Delfin Lazaro; Bank of the PhilippineIslands president Aurelio Montinola III, Manila Water president Rene Almendras, and Ayala Land president Antonino Aquino.
Zobel said another reason for the need for a paradigm shift is that customers and society in general expect large institutions, like Ayala, to be more engaged in providing solutions.
He added that talent and investments will gravitate more and more toward companies that are socially responsible.
While previously admitting that the shift in business orientation towards sustainability can limit the Ayala Group’s choice of new businesses, Zobel emphasized that this approach can also open new opportunities.
“The shift towards a more sustainable way of doing business will give us a whole new dimension in terms of branding, as well as pride as a company. It also encourages us to look for interesting new solutions,” he said.
In order to shift to a fully sustainable business, Zobel said there is first a need for those in the Ayala group to be more familiar with the concept of sustainability. “Even our planning assumptions will have to change,” he pointed out.
He also said they have to be more proactive in integrating sustainability efforts in the way they do business. “After all, it opens up new opportunities as well as new markets for us,” he said.
He also cited the need to increase the social impact of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities.
He pointed out that last year alone, the Ayala group produced 260,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2).
“We need to plant 1.5 million trees a year to address this. It would be easier if we just reduce our electricity usage,” he said.
Zobel added that there is a need for the Ayala Group, and other businesses, to alter their definition of success by putting more emphasis on their activities’ social impact and less on the balance sheet and profit and loss statement.
In the past, the CSR approach was more oriented towards philanthropy and charitable institutions. In recent years, Ayala’s CSR activities have become more focused on interventions in education, environment, and entrepreneurship.
“Currently, we are putting more emphasis on the impact and sustainability of our interventions. So while our philanthropic work will continue, we expect to see more of our CSR activities with a sustainable business model attached to them,” the company said in a statement.
For the first time, the company noted that they now have standard metrics of sustainability across all Ayala companies covering human resource development, environment, and financials.
“Ayala has decided to take a careful and broader look at how we can incorporate more powerful and innovative sustainability principles into our business models and operating practices for greater impact on the environment around us and the development of the communities in which we operate,” he said.
“While there are many challenges to achieving substantial and lasting impact, we are committed to being leaders and catalysts in moving business practices back towards sustainability,” he stressed.
Ayala’s commitment to sustainability includes continuously reducing the environmental impact of its operations; innovating in its essential products and services to serve the disadvantaged in an environmentally friendly way; addressing education, microenterprise, environmental and emergency issues in its community involvement.
“While we are in the relatively early stages of our sustainability journey, we are confident that with perseverance and focus, we will be able to make significant and lasting contributions to a stronger country and a better world while growing our profitability as we have done for the last 175 years,” Zobel said.

Nuvali Outdoor Challenge
Feliciano tops Nuvali Outdoor Challenge
Philippine Daily Inquirer
By Jasmine Payo
SOURCE LINK:
VETERAN Mountain bike rider Frederick Feliciano found his way back to the top.
Feliciano, a 2005 Southeast Asian Games silver medalist, conquered the rough terrain to rule the cross country elite class of the Nuvali Outdoor Adventure Challenge recently in Sta. Rosa and Calamba, Laguna.
“It was very difficult,” said Feliciano, an Allaga, Nueva Ecija, native who also finished third in last summer’s Padyak Pinoy bikathon. “There were many ripples and I was just glad to finish the course.”
Feliciano, who pocketed the P10,000 top prize, overtook eventual runner-up March Aleonar after the first 15K loop of the muddy 40K course.
Former motocross champion Glenn Aguilar similarly regained his winning form to dominate the elite open four cross competition.
The two-day Dirt Weekend event drew over a thousand off-road bikers to Nuvali, an emerging 1,750 hectare biking destination in the outskirts of Metro Manila.
“The course was very challenging,” said Aleonar, a 23-year-old Army private from Davao.
Alvin Benosa, another veteran Army rider, wound up third in the elite class.
More sporting events, including wakeboarding, marathon and dirt bike competitions are lined up in Nuvali, Ayala Land vice president and Nuvali general manager Jun Bisnar said.
“The response is overwhelming,” said Bisnar. “We will certainly entertain more mountain bike activities like this here in the future.”

West Tower in Serendra
| Part 2 of Serendra project scheduled to start next year |
| Written by Miguel R. Camus / Reporter |
| SUNDAY, 25 OCTOBER 2009 18:47 |
Source Link:
LISTED developed Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) is targeting to launch next year its second luxury high-rise condominium project inside One Serendra in Fort Bonifacio as a follow up on the successful East Tower which, officials, said continues to sell better than expected.
The 52-story condominium, to be called West Tower, will likely be launched in the latter of part of 2010, said Melissa Gil, residential buildings and leisure head of Ayala Land Premier, the company’s high-end unit.
At present, the 42-story East Tower which was launched in March 2008, is already 70-percent sold thanks to the strong demand from local buyers such as retirees and their families.
“We will [fully] sell East Tower in the first to second quarter next year at the rate we are going,” Gil said in an interview last week. She also noted that the financial crisis had little effect on local customers. “It’s not that buyers didn’t have the money, [the problem was] where to place it.”
She said the 3-bedroom units of East Tower have been fully sold, each costing an average of P36 million. The project features a total of 283 units.
In addition, the project offered a limited number of themed rooms such as the 400-square meter sky pool unit, which has an indoor swimming pool, costing over P50 million each.
“These were the first to go,” noted Gil.
Located at the corner of Mckinley Parkway and 32nd Street in Bonifacio global City in Taguig, the East Tower will begin unit turnover in June 2012, said ALI. The West Tower is seen to offer over 370 units and will rise in an adjacent property.
The high-rise component forms the latter portion of the 4.5-hectare One Serendra project. ALI said this complements the initial low- and mid-rise phases in line with the whole 12-hectare Serendra development. Two Serendra, meanwhile, will offer five mid-rise condominiums and four towers.

Ayala Land in Subic
Ayala Land inks pack with SBMA for P3-billion project
By subictimes.com
SUBIC BAY Freeport: all is set for Ayala Land Inc. to develop a 7.5
hectare prime land in Subic after officials of Subic Bay Metropolitan
Authority and Ayala Land signed an agreement that would pave the way for
the P3 billion project in Subic.
Ayala Land Inc. has signed a 50 year deal with SBMA for the development
of a prime lot located along the Rizal Highway, the lot is located
between the main gates of the Freeport.
The project is expected to generate some 10,000 new jobs from the start
of its construction.
Ayala Land Inc. would build a shopping mall complemented by a business
process outsourcing office building and hotel.
“The company’s development will be a catalyst for growth in the
Subic-Olongapo corridor and will be a major mixed-use project in the
Subic Freeport Zone that is well-planned, integrated and environmentally
sustainable,” Ayala Land inc. deputy compliance officer Alfonso Javier
Reyes was quoted saying in recent reports.
The proposed mall will offer basic goods seeking to address the everyday
needs of Subic and Olongapo as well as unique concepts that will also
serve tourists and transients, Reyes added.
This development is company’s first foray into Subic Bay Freeport
itself, although it has an investment in leisure estate Anvaya Cove in
nearby Morong, Bataan which was introduced in 2005.
Presently, the lot which will be developed by Ayala Land Inc. is being
occupied by several restaurants, food chain, the Freeport Service
Corporation, Landbank, a gas station, the night market, a gym and Comteq
Computer College.
