For the past 15 years, The Peninsula Manila has offered Naturally Peninsula, a collection of health-conscious and delectable menu options for guests dining at its restaurants. This year, as part of the Peninsula-wide Life Lived Best initiative, however, Naturally Peninsula has been relaunched with a new focus on plant-based cuisine.
Xavier Castello, Executive Chef of The Peninsula Manila
“Supporting the health of our guests, deliciously, has always been the mission of Naturally Peninsula,” says Xavier Castello, Executive Chef of The Peninsula Manila. “But now we are setting ourselves a higher goal – to support the health of the planet, as well.”

The new plant-based dishes – which use locally sourced produce, nutritious oils, and non-refined sugars – reflect The Peninsula Manila’s (and her sister hotels in Asia, Europe, and the United States) ongoing commitment to increased sustainability. By prioritizing meat-free, organically, and naturally-produced ingredients from local producers and suppliers, the Naturally Peninsula offerings aim to simultaneously benefit the hotel’s local communities and reduce its collective environmental footprint.
START THE DAY RIGHT
The Peninsula Manila highlights breakfast as the meal where it offers most of its Naturally Peninsula dishes. “We believe that having a healthy and nutrition-packed meal is a great way to start the day,” says Executive Chef Castello. “These healthy breakfast items can be paired with our healthy green smoothies which change from day-to-day and are known as ‘Our Daily Greens’”.

Breakfast at The Lobby includes an excellent selection of both sweet and savory plant-based dishes including Tofu Scramble Burrito (spinach, kale and brussels sprouts), Avocado Toast (avocado mash, mesclun, shaved radish, cucumber roll on homemade sourdough bread) and a Poached Pear Salad (cherry tomato, basil, olive, mesclun, and sprouts topped with Mandarin orange vinaigrette), and Zambales Mangoes and Oats Pancake (with blueberry compote), to name just a handful.
EAT RIGHT THE REST OF THE DAY
All-day dining at The Lobby, In-Room Dining and the à la carte menu at The Pool Snack Bar offers a cornucopia of dishes predominantly prepared using local ingredients, including Beetroot Carpaccio (grapefruit, candied walnuts, and radish), Soba Noodle Salad (edamame, carrots, cucumber, radish, Mandarin oranges, sesame-ginger dressing), Kimchi Brown Rice Bowl (malunggay or moringa, nori and scallions), Mushrooms al Ajillo (cauliflower purée, garlic confit, and chili oil), Oven-roasted Bukidnon Pineapple (served with compote, locally-grown lacatan banana-passion sorbet, pineapple chips), Citrus Carpaccio (mango sorbet, lime granité, and a lemon curd cigar), and an Orange Polenta Cake (topped with honey syrup).
The Peninsula Manila’s Spices restaurant has long been known for its Southeast Asian cuisine, most especially for its vegetarian and plant-based options which cater to guests who have strict dietary restrictions and who love savoury yet nutritious meals. But with the Naturally Peninsula iteration, all dishes are MSG-free and only low-sodium soy sauce is used in recipes that call for its inclusion. Purely plant-based selections include Pak Boong Fai deng (Thai wok-fried water spinach with yellow beans, chili, and light soy), Cauliflower Tikka Masala (roasted cauliflowerwith tomato, garam masala, coriander, and paprika), and Tempe Goreng (pan-seared tempeh, garlic, coriander, turmeric, and sambal).
At the hotel’s popular all-day buffet restaurant Escolta, a salad bar offers a selection of fresh vegetables with healthy dressings. For those with a sweet tooth, homemade dairy-free ice cream made with raw sugar will soon be made available at the restaurant.
When it comes to the famed Peninsula Afternoon Tea at The Lobby, Watermelon Gazpacho with Grilled Cucumber Tofu Skewers, Ratatouille Parcels with Onion Chutney, Calamansi Bar, Baked Cream with Exotic Fruit Caramel, and their homemade Cranberry Scones with Lemon Curd and sugar-free Lichi-Strawberry jam are just some of the healthy and tasty goodies on offer.
In the pipeline at The Peninsula Boutique are a selection of egg-and dairy-free pastries and cakes, as well as homemade kombucha.
PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Promoting health and wellness is a core principle of The Peninsula Manila. Now, more than ever, with the ongoing global crisis, sustainable health and wellness has become increasingly important, and so relaunching Naturally Peninsula is even more relevant.

“With this new wellness program, we hope to break new ground in helping our guests to maximize their health and well-being while also helping to contribute to the local farming economy,” Executive Chef Castello says in closing. “We want to do our part to support local farms by partnering and sharing with them our Naturally Peninsula philosophy and purchase fresh, local, and quality produce that my team and I can use for cooking and seasoning.”
The Peninsula Manila’s Naturally Peninsula offerings are an invitation and opportunity for guests to take time to take care of themselves, their communities, and the environment – concerns which are of paramount importance, especially today.

TMSPH ventures into the development and offering of a range of ‘new mobility solutions’ that will enhance Toyota as a brand that creates value for society through a service business model. Along with automotive manufacturing and distribution businesses, TMP furthers its effort to provide safety and comfort for Filipinos with TMSPH’s Vehicle Usership (VU) platforms, available for individuals and the business sector.
According to TMP president Atsuhiro Okamoto, this new venture will “better shape the industry’s role in building our modern societies and enriching human lives.” “We will accelerate the fulfillment of Toyota’s global mission to ‘Produce Happiness for All’ and vision to create ‘Mobility for All,” he added.
TMSPH president Ma. Cristina Fe Arevalo defined TMP’s concept of ‘new mobility’ as a suite of technology and data-driven lifestyle and business solutions that can address day-to-day challenges of moving people and goods from one point to another. “We envision TMSPH to be at the center of the ‘new mobility’ ecosystem as an integrated, ‘one-stop’ mobility solutions provider to help advance businesses and address local communities’ needs,” she explained.
Arevalo highlighted that TMSPH will primarily support the operating efficiency and growth of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises or MSMEs of various industries which are vital in driving economic growth.
TMSPH presented an initial pipeline of services which include fleet-connected service, on-demand shuttle booking app, car sharing or rental, logistics matching service, and fleet management service. Additionally, TMSPH will complement Toyota Financial Services Philippines Corporation (TFSPH) in promoting and managing units under its full operating lease product called KINTO.
The first of its kind among Toyota affiliates in the Southeast Asian region, TMSPH is considered as a ‘New Mobility Dojo’ that is projected to modernize domestic mobility systems and Internet of Things (IoT), potentially creating employment opportunities for technical but customer-centric professionals.
Further strengthening core business
Confident that the Philippines can rebound to the pre-pandemic momentum of motorization, TMP says the automotive manufacturing remains the Company’s core business and will continue to serve as a major driver of economic development.
Toyota provides staunch support to local manufacturing, a backbone of the Philippine economy, through a strategic network of vehicle and parts manufacturing industries, as well as the export of automotive parts and components by local Toyota Group suppliers.
“Our vision has always been to contribute to the Philippine economy and society through our automotive manufacturing business,” TMP chairman Alfred V. Ty said. “As of the end of last year, Toyota is happy to provide jobs for approximately 63,000 Filipinos at TMP, our dealers, suppliers, and affiliates. We have also contributed $17.1 billion in terms of auto component exports to our Toyota group worldwide since we started export operations in 1997.”
At its manufacturing plant in Santa Rosa City, Laguna, TMP currently produces two (2) models, the Innova and the Vios – a participating model with a PHP 5.58-billion investment under the government’s Comprehensive Automotive Resurgence Strategy or CARS program.

Filmmaker Jordan Peele, also known for Get Out and Us that disrupted and redefined the horror genre, reinvents the sci-fi horror genre this time in his latest film Nope. Shot with large-format and IMAX cameras, Peele, along with the film’s director of photography Hoyte Van Hoytema (whose work includes Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk and Tenet) teamed up to capture the impossible on camera. A Universal Pictures release, Nope opens in local cinemas on August 17.
Jordan Peele was eager to expand his cinematic canvas and embraced a new challenge unlike any in his filmmaking career so far and tackle the granddaddy of genre movies: the summer event film. ‘Nope’ is both a spectacle and an examination of how spectacle shapes cultures and ideas of ourselves. The film puts siblings OJ and Emerald Haywood back together (played by Oscar® winner Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer) when their legendary father dies and leaves them the ranch estate to manage, known for training horses used in big Hollywood productions. As they delve deeper in managing the ranch, both notice something unusual – something is in the sky and it is abducting people and animals, and the Haywood siblings are determined to uncover the mystery behind it.
A man of few words but noble actions, OJ is the moral center of the film. Although he works in Hollywood, his world is mostly isolated to the Haywood Ranch in Agua Dulce, and he’s most comfortable doing his work and keeping his head down. When his sister Emerald (Keke Palmer) returns to the ranch, some old tensions and wounds begin to surface. “What I love about Jordan’s films is that they’re hard to describe,” Kaluuya says. “They have to be experienced. There’s always a real eternal premise and then a real truth in the middle of it. I always lean in when I don’t know what something is,” Kaluuya continues. “But I can only lean in when I know that the director is passionate about it, that they understand it, that they feel it. And that’s always true of Jordan.”
Keke Palmer
An aspiring actor, singer and stuntwoman, Emerald Haywood, played by Keke Palmer, seems, at first, to be the opposite of her brother OJ in fundamental ways. A defining moment from her childhood forever shaped her relationship with OJ and their father. She has a tight bond with OJ, despite her avoidance of her role in the family business. For Palmer, the experience of making Nope and working with Peele inspired her to reflect on the state of our culture and ourselves. “For me, the film is about chasing something far outside of yourself and chasing it to such an extent that you don’t realize, until it’s too late, what you already had,” Palmer says.
Daniel Kaluuya
“Nope was written in 2020 during the pandemic,” Peele says. “It was this crazy time. In a lot of ways, the film is a reflection of all the horrors that happened that year and are still happening.” As for the title, he says, “Nope means a lot of things. I always love to get into the head of my audience. I was inspired by the feeling of existential helplessness in us all, then this idea of spectacle, to bring people out to the theatres and help invigorate their love for the cinematic experience, and at the same time I asked myself the reason why we are obsessed with spectacle.”
A Universal Pictures release, Nope opens in local cinemas on August 17.
Emmy-nominated actress Nathalie Emmanuel is best known for her remarkable performance in the role of Missandei in the critically acclaimed HBO series Game of Thrones. She also made a mark as Ramsey in the seventh and eighth installments of the blockbuster film series Fast and the Furious. Now, Emmanuel stars in the lead role of Evie in Columbia Pictures’ new horror thriller The Invitation.
After the death of her mother and having no other known relatives, Evie (Emmanuel) takes a DNA test…and discovers a long-lost cousin she never knew she had. Invited by her newfound family to a lavish wedding in the English countryside, she’s at first seduced by the sexy aristocrat host but is soon thrust into a nightmare of survival as she uncovers twisted secrets in her family’s history and the disturbing intentions behind their generosity.

Emmanuel was attracted by Evie’s story being given a modern point of view. “Marriage can be a beautiful thing, but if you think about it, a long time ago, marriages were made so that two families could further their prosperity, in money or land,” says Emmanuel. “We’re making that modern. Times have changed and Evie has real power and agency. When things take a turn, she is going to fight back.”
Emmanuel’s portrayal of Evie is as a very compassionate person, in a way that doesn’t fit in with her newfound family. “When she gets to the castle, she introduces herself to the maids, she gets to know their names and who they are as people – to the horror of her aristocratic English family,” says director Jessica M. Thompson. “She sees humans as humans, and not as a class or status. And she maintains that throughout the film – if she’s going to go down, she’s going to go down fighting for these women, to save them from her fate.”

For producer Emile Gladstone, part of the key was setting up Evie as a character yearning for something. “There really isn’t a nightmare unless there’s a dream first,” he says. “It starts off Gatsby-esque and inspirational: Evie goes to this incredible wedding and finds this incredible guy, and finally thinks the worm has turned for her. And then the penny drops, and the dream turns to nightmare.”
“Nathalie has a beautiful presence,” shares Thompson. “She’s the most empathetic person – she really feels deeply for her characters and finds the humanity in them. All of the nuances – from the way she wears her clothes, to the way she creates her art, to the way she honors her mother… all of those little details give Evie so much breath and life.”
In Philippine cinemas August 24, The Invitation is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International. Connect with the hashtag #InvitationMovie
