    Jeff Cifra Celebrates Romance with Feel-Good Single ‘Ang Aking True Love’

    Award-winning singer-songwriter and OPM’s Falsetto Prince Jeff Cifra is back with a joyful new anthem. His latest single, “Ang Aking True Love,” dropped on May 9 across all major digital streaming platforms, bringing with it a fresh yet nostalgic vibe that fans will love. Best known for his expressive falsetto and smooth vocal runs, Cifra delivers a standout performance on the track, channeling a bright and buoyant energy that perfectly captures the thrill of discovering true love. It’s a refreshing follow-up to his emotional ballad “Dalawang Araw, Dalawang Buwan,” this time offering something more playful and festive.

    Jeff Cifra

    A Joyful Ode to Love

    “Ang Aking True Love” isn’t just a new single, it is a collaboration rooted in creativity and history. Co-written by Jeff Cifra, Dennis Sebastian (a former film producer), John Michael Acol, Joshua Carbajal, and Jhune Osuna, the song was originally part of the 2014 romantic film LABYU, directed by Jill Urdaneta.

    Though nearly a decade has passed since it first featured in the movie, Cifra and his team have breathed new life into the track, giving it a fresh arrangement and a wider audience reach. “Ang Aking True Love” was produced by Cifra and Osuna under JNJ Studios, and officially released through Cali Sound Laboratory.

    Inspired by Filipino Traditions

    What makes the track even more special is the musical inspiration behind it. The arrangement pays tribute to the historic marching bands of Bacoor, Cavite, an iconic symbol of Filipino community life. These bands are a staple in town fiestas and festivals, rallying people together in celebration.

    By weaving these cultural elements into the song’s composition, Cifra adds a distinctly Pinoy touch that resonates with listeners who grew up attending local town parades and fiestas. The result? A feel-good, proudly Filipino love song that hits the heart.

    True Love, Streaming Everywhere

    Whether you’re a longtime fan of Cifra’s falsetto-led tracks or just discovering his music, “Ang Aking True Love” is worth adding to your playlist. It’s now available for streaming and download on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music. So go ahead, turn up the volume, feel the rhythm, and maybe even find your own “true love” along the way.

  • Nicole Laurel Asensio Makes History as First Philippine-Based Resident Artist at Hong Kong’s Prestigious Café Carlyle

    Nicole Laurel Asensio Makes History as First Philippine-Based Resident Artist at Hong Kong’s Prestigious Café Carlyle

    Nicole Laurel Asensio, a celebrated Filipina singer, songwriter, and actress, is taking a bold new stride on the global stage as she becomes the first-ever Philippine-based resident artist at Café Carlyle Hong Kong, starting June 18 to July 12, 2025. This groundbreaking residency places Nicole in the spotlight of one of Asia’s most exclusive live music venues—an artistic sanctuary inspired by the legendary Café Carlyle in New York City and nestled within the ultra-chic Carlyle & Co. at the Rosewood Hotel.

    Nicole HK7

    This milestone is a career-defining moment for Nicole, who has spent the last 18 years captivating audiences from Barcelona to Bangkok, London to the Maldives. While she’s no stranger to international stages, her Café Carlyle residency marks a remarkable first: she is the first artist born and raised in the Philippines to hold such a position.

    “Café Carlyle Hong Kong brings an unrivalled lineup of international names and unmatched talent to Hong Kong’s most intimate stage. This June we’re thrilled to introduce our newest Resident Artist, Nicole Laurel Asensio.”
    — Café Carlyle Team

    Where Timeless Jazz Meets a Modern Muse

    The charm of Café Carlyle lies in its seamless blend of vintage elegance and cosmopolitan flair—an ideal match for Nicole, whose voice exudes old-soul richness fused with bold, contemporary artistry. Backed by a stellar lineup of world-class jazz musicians, Nicole will perform a 16-show run of genre-bending jazz and soul, delivering classics and reimagined standards with the fire and finesse only she can bring.

    Joining her onstage is Gabe Dandan, a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and Nicole’s longtime collaborator. The duo promises a rich sonic tapestry—a fusion of heritage, passion, and world-class artistry.

    Nicole HK2

    A Dream Born of Serendipity

    Nicole describes how the opportunity felt like pure fate:

    “I had no manager or company backing this. I just booked a casual vacation to Hong Kong last February. That same day, I got a message on Instagram asking to arrange a call. It was Francisco Ricafort, the Director of Music and Artist Curation at Carlyle HK. He asked, ‘Why not present a Filipino artist to Café Carlyle?’”

    Soon after submitting performance videos, Nicole received confirmation—just in time to catch a show by resident artist Sarah Potenza, a singer she deeply admires.

    “As I stepped into Café Carlyle, I could feel the creative energy in every corner. I didn’t even need a cocktail to feel intoxicated,” Nicole recalls with a laugh. “To share the same stage as Sarah and others I look up to? It’s a dream coming to life before my very eyes.”

    More Than Music: A Celebration of Culture

    Café Carlyle isn’t just about music. It’s an experience. Nicole’s residency will feature a curated menu inspired by her heritage, created by Carlyle’s master chefs.

    “I’m excited to see how they blend pieces of my story into their dishes—it’s an honor to have my culture shared not just through sound, but through taste,” she says.

    For Nicole, this is more than just a gig—it’s a creative exchange.

    “Every time I perform in another country, I bring a piece of home with me. And I take a piece of that place back, too. I’m honored to perform with musicians of this caliber and grateful to bring Gabe with me as a musical bridge between heritage and discovery.”

    An Artist in Her Prime, A Legacy in the Making

    Nicole Laurel Asensio’s upcoming residency at Café Carlyle Hong Kong is not only a major achievement in her career—it’s a proud moment for Philippine artistry on the world stage. With her undeniable talent, soul-stirring voice, and passion for storytelling through music, Nicole continues to inspire, break barriers, and raise the flag for Filipino musicians everywhere.

    Don’t miss the magic. Catch Nicole live from June 18 to July 12, 2025, and witness the fusion of history, heritage, and high artistry in one unforgettable residency.

    For 45 years, Robinsons Land has quietly grown into one of the Philippines’ most trusted and diversified real estate developers. At the heart of it all? Helping Filipinos live better lives—then and now. To mark this milestone, RLC unveils a bevy of special anniversary offers across its developments—each one designed to elevate everyday experiences 

    feature 1 1

    Forty-five years ago, on 4 June 1980, Robinsons Land began with a clear and lasting vision  from its founder, Mr. John Gokongwei, Jr.: to shape spaces that uplift lives. From its earliest  days opening regional malls—once a bold move in emerging cities—it has evolved into a  national portfolio of over 300 properties. Yet through all the growth, the company has remained  grounded in something deeper than development: service and nation-building. 

    Today, Robinsons Land stands as a full-scale, diversified real estate conglomerate with a  presence across nearly every aspect of Filipino living. Its current footprint spans 56 malls, 32  office developments and 11 co-working hubs, 26 hotels and resorts, 134 residential  developments, 33 destination estates and mixed-use communities, and 13 logistics and  industrial facilities—each one thoughtfully designed to support the changing needs of customers  across lifestyles and life stages. 

    But while the numbers speak to scale, the true measure of Robinsons Land’s success has  always been its role in people’s lives: enabling first homes, powering careers and enterprises,  creating gathering spaces, growing communities, offering spaces for rest and leisure, and  delivering comfort, accessibility, and belonging in everyday moments. 

    This year, as Robinsons Land celebrates its 45th anniversary, the company is marking the  milestone with gratitude. Through a meaningful rollout of anniversary offers across its businesses, Robinsons Land honors the millions of Filipinos it has served, and reaffirms its  mission of making everyday living better, richer, and more inspiring for all.
