    Robinsons Land Unveils Exclusive Offers to Celebrate 45 Years

    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.

  • ‘Dalaga na si Maxie Oliveros: A Drag Musical Extravaganza’ Premieres This June

    ‘Dalaga na si Maxie Oliveros: A Drag Musical Extravaganza’ Premieres This June

    Maxie is back—and this time, she’s all grown up. Dalaga na si Maxie Oliveros: A Drag Musical Extravaganza marks the dazzling return of one of Filipino pop culture’s most beloved queer icons in a spectacular new immersive production running from June 13 to 22, 2025 at Illumination Studio, Makati City.

    DALAGA NA SI MAXIE SQUARE

    Staged just in time for Pride Month, this bold reimagining of Maxie’s story invites audiences to step directly into her glitter-filled, heartbreak-prone, and fabulously complicated world. Set five years after Maxie the Musical, the sequel follows Maxie Oliveros as she navigates love, identity, and resilience in a world that’s still catching up to her radiance.

    More than just a sequel, Dalaga na si Maxie Oliveros is a theatrical experience unlike anything audiences have seen before. Performances unfold in and around the audience, blurring the lines between stage and seat in an intimate, interactive celebration of queer joy, survival, and transformation. Part drag show, part musical, part rallying cry—this immersive production promises to spark dialogue, emotion, and glitter in equal measure.

    The new musical builds on the legacy of Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros, the 2005 award-winning film that first introduced Maxie to the world. The 2013 hit Maxie the Musical followed, earning acclaim for its exuberant yet tender take on the queer coming-of-age experience. Under special arrangements with the original film makers and Ticket2Me, and line produced by PETA Plus, Maxie returns to reclaim her story—older, fiercer, and more unapologetically herself than ever before.

    Playdates:

    • June 13 (Fri) – 8:00 PM
    • June 14 (Sat) – 2:00 PM & 8:00 PM
    • June 15 (Sun) – 2:00 PM & 8:00 PM

    • June 21 (Sat) – 2:00 PM & 8:00 PM
    • June 22 (Sun) – 2:00 PM & 8:00 PM

    Who will be the next Maxie Oliveros?

    We’re about to find out!  Last month’s auditions at PETA Theater for the lead role of Maxie Oliveros brought together a dazzling mix of talent, all vying to bring new life to this iconic character in this upcoming vibrant retelling. The cast will also feature fresh talents and sensational drag queens, bringing fierce charisma and glam to this drag musical extravaganza.

    At its core, Dalaga na si Maxie Oliveros is more than just a Pride celebration—it’s a powerful, joy-filled platform that amplifies LGBTQIA+ voices, interrogates societal norms, and creates a safe space for reflection, resistance, and radical love. Whether you’re a longtime Maxie fan or meeting her for the first time, this is one show you won’t want to miss.

    Tickets are now available for purchase here at ₱2,500.00 each. An early bird discount of ₱200.00 is available for a limited time from May 8 to 18.

  • Whisper provides period protection to support young girls through World Vision

    Whisper provides period protection to support young girls through World Vision

    In the Philippines, millions of young girls face challenges in managing their periods due to lack of access to proper menstrual products. Without the right protection, many resort to unsafe alternatives that result to risk of infections, discomfort, and even missing school. But beyond affordability and availability, the deeper issue lies in the taboo surrounding menstruation, which prevents open conversations and access to education on menstrual health.

    image015

    No girl should have to feel unprepared or ashamed of her period. That’s why, this Women’s Month, Whisper is taking action. In partnership with World Vision Philippines, Whisper is providing essential period protection to young girls in underserved communities to help them stay in school and manage their periods with dignity.

    Through this initiative, Whisper will donate over 1,000 pads to communities in Malabon, particularly in Barangays Concepcion, Longos, and Catmon. To create lasting impact, the program also includes a menstrual health education seminar, designed to equip young girls with the knowledge and confidence to manage their periods safely—shattering taboos and normalizing discussions on menstrual health.

    “Menstruation should never be a reason for girls to miss out on opportunities,” says Katrina Mangubat, Senior Communications Manager of Whisper. “At Whisper, we believe in more than just period protection—we believe in empowering girls to go about their day with confidence, free from worry or shame. This partnership with World Vision is part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring that girls have the right support to manage their periods safely and with dignity.”

    Whisper has been a long-time ally in comfortable leakage protection, helping women move with confidence. But real change doesn’t happen in a month. It starts with a movement. Join us in breaking the period stigma. Share your story, raise awareness, and support initiatives that help more girls access the protection they deserve at www.facebook.com/WhisperPhilippines and www.instagram/WhisperPhilippines.
