Take a Pause This Holy Week: A Journey of Redemption at Capitol Commons, The Grounds, and CV Strip

This Holy Week, Capitol Commons offers a quiet space for reflection and renewal through “A Journey of Redemption: Stations of the Cross,” an immersive Lenten experience from April 12 to 19, 2025. Set across three Ortigas Estates—Capitol Commons Park, The Grounds at Ortigas East, and CV Strip—the event invites the public to pause and reconnect during one of the most solemn seasons in the Filipino religious calendar, especially among members of the Roman Catholic church.

Each location will feature a complete set of the Stations of the Cross, beginning with an introductory station followed by all fourteen traditional stations. Capitol Commons Park will feature eleven select stations that incorporate simple reflective or devotional activities, offering a space for quiet moments for prayer, contemplation, and meaningful pause during Lent. The Grounds at Ortigas East and CV Strip will present all stations in their traditional form, offering a more meditative and familiar pathway for prayer.

A Thoughtful and Grounded Experience

At Capitol Commons Park, visitors will find opportunities to engage in acts of quiet reflection. At one station, guests may write down personal burdens and tie them to a frame, a simple act of letting go. In another, they may hold or carry a life-sized cross and reflect on the weight of Christ’s sacrifice on the way to Calvary. A darkened room invites a moment of silence, allowing visitors to pause and contemplate in stillness.

The experience concludes with a prayer wall where participants may leave their intentions and are gently encouraged to take someone else’s request to heart. The initiative was aimed at offering the Ortigas Estate residents and habitués a pensive alternative to the usual activities — this time a space for the soul and spirit for meaningful reflection during Holy Week.

Open to All, Wherever You Are on the Journey

Running from April 12 to 19, 2025, “A Journey of Redemption” is free and open to the public. All venues will welcome visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Whether you are observing Lent, taking a reflective break, or simply looking for a space to pause, this experience offers a meaningful way to spend time in stillness—alone or with loved ones.

This Holy Week, rediscover the Stations of the Cross in a way that invites calm, reflection, and quiet connection. Join us, experience the journey, reflect, and pray.

Dyson Goes Bold with Purple Jasper Haircare Line

Dyson is launching a bespoke colourway across their beauty device range, inspired by the Jasper plum gemstone.

Dyson’s Colours, Materials and Finishes (CMF) engineers designed the Jasper plum colourway to capture the contrasting tones of the gemstone, resulting in a distinctive triple-toned palette: a deep plum main body, rich violet details, and bright blush pink accents.

Amelia Ayerst, CMF Design Manager at Dyson, explains, “The visual and tactile qualities of the products we use daily influence our experience. Our goal is to transform everyday items into something delightful to use and own.”

Purple jasper, known for promoting confidence, self-discovery, and personal growth, also reflects the essence of what Dyson engineers strive for in designing their styling tools — enhancing beauty from within, boosting confidence, expressing personal style, and maintaining healthy hair.

Dyson styling machines are engineered for fast, powerful, and efficient performance, acknowledging the challenge faced in finding time to prioritise self-care amidst busy lives. Your hair is more than just a style; it is an expression of who you are. Simple, mindful moments of self-care — like embracing a calm styling routine, walking with loved ones, or savouring your morning coffee — are small yet powerful ways to recharge and enhance well-being.

Launching ahead of Mother’s Day, we celebrate the strength, power, and individuality of the women in our lives — qualities symbolised by the rare purple jasper gemstone that the range is inspired by – the range could make the perfect gift. Dyson invites you to use the hashtag #SmallPowerfulMoment to share your self-care routine and celebrate the importance of taking time for yourself.

The collection is available on the Dyson Airstrait™ straightener, and the Dyson Airwrap i.d.™ multi-styler and dryer.

Meet the range.

Dyson Airstrait™ straightener

The Dyson Airstrait™ straightener lets you straighten hair from wet to dry using only air. By eliminating hot plates, it prevents both heat and mechanical damage.

The Dyson Airstrait^TM straightener in Jasper plum is currently available and is priced at PhP 34,900.00, available from Dyson Stores and dyson.ph. The presentation case is included.

Dyson Airwrap i.d.™ multi-styler and dryer

Join your clan and break the storm in Tarkir: Dragonstorm
Last 4 April, Wizards of the Coast launched Prerelease events for Tarkir: Dragonstorm, the latest set for the world-renowned trading card game, Magic: The Gathering (MTG). Return to the iconic plane of Tarkir, where wild dragons and fearsome clans clash in immense battles for power and survival. Tarkir: Dragonstorm will be released for tabletop on 11 April 2025.

A New Age of Tarkir

Tarkir is embroiled in massive and terrifying dragonstorms, raging across the land and spawning wild dragons, the likes of which Tarkir has never seen. New and powerful Spirit Dragons has been summoned from the storms, forcing out the previous dragonlords and emboldening the five clans into a battle for supremacy of the land. Now, amidst the draconic maelstrom, Narset and Elspeth seek to end both the dragonstorms spreading beyond the plane, whilst Sarkhan Vol stands in their way. Meanwhile, Jace seeks something deep in the Meditation Realm which may threaten the multiverse!

New Mechanics

Emblaze your decks with a flight of new Dragon cards and bring destruction from above with two brand new dragon-themed abilities:
- Dragonstorms are enchantments with powerful enters abilities that you return to your hand for recasting when you play a Dragon.
- Omen is a new card subtype that lets you choose whether to cast a small spell that then shuffles into your library, or a big Dragon. Talk about an imposing presence!
The five clans of Tarkir are back, each with their own vibrant culture and immersive gameplay. Find your clan and join the fight with a playstyle that fits you, including a new keyword for each clan:
- Endure, the Abzan (White, Black, Green) keyword focuses on counters. When playing creatures with Endure players may add N +1/+1 counters or create N/N Spirit tokens.
- Flurry, the Jeskai (Blue, Red, White) keyword allows for mini combo turns with multiple spells. Cards with Flurry trigger an additional effect when you cast your second spell each turn.
- Renew, the Sultai (Black, Blue, Green) keyword allows players to exile cards from their graveyard as a sorcery for fun and profit. To Renew, spend some mana and exile the card for a powerful result.
- Mobilize, the Mardu (Red, White, Black) keyword aims to boost a go-wide strategy for the turn. Creatures with Mobilize trigger when attacking and create more attackers with menace that are sacrificed at the beginning of the next end step.
- Harmonize, the Temur (Green, Blue, Red) keyword is all about big creatures reducing costs. You may cast a card with Harmonize from your graveyard for its Harmonize cost and may tap an untapped creature you control to pay its power in generic mana.
Battle Alongside Your Clan

Each clan’s unique three colour gameplay and new abilities offer fresh strategies to wield as you fight for survival. Choose your clan and prepare for battle with five new Commander decks, each featuring a legendary clan leader of Tarkir and a Spirit Dragon. Each deck is ready to play right out of the box and contains everything you need to play Magic’s most popular multiplayer format.

Collecting Tarkir: Dragonstorm

Tarkir: Dragonstorm features a trove of relics for your clan to claim with coveted cards, new card treatments, and thematic foils that bring Tarkir to life. The pride of Tarkir’s treasures is Mox Jasper, a powerful addition to any dragon deck. Regular and Draconic treatments can be found in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters. The serialised version, limited to 500, features exclusive Dan Frazier artwork and Retro frame, can be found in Collector Boosters only.

Tarkir has a rich history, and the latest set features a range of showcase treatments that honour the legacy of the clans and dragons. The Dragonic cards celebrates the wild dragons of the plane with a themed frame, while the Borderless Clans Cards bring the five factions to life with a unified theme. The elder dragon Ugin’s influence over Tarkir is manifest in new Ghostfire cards, special art and card frames imbued with Ugin’s ethereal presence.

Deadly dragons can have a cute side. There are six new Borderless Reversible cards each featuring a fearsome and adorable version of your favourite winged creatures.

Fetch lands are back in the Special Guest slot! Pull powerful enemy fetch lands for your favourite decks, with a Tarkir twist. New textured Dragonscale Foil fetch lands bring an immersive visual and tactile experience to the storied landscapes of the plane. These are exclusive to Collector Boosters.

The presence of dragons can be felt across Tarkir, their approach heralded by ominous shadows depicted in Full-Art Basic Lands that show the scale of these wild creatures. Tarkir: Dragonstorm offers a second treatment of Full-Art Basic Lands, offering a close and personal look at the plane’s dragons. Count yourself either very lucky, or unlucky, to stare into these eyes!

Magic: The Gathering: Tarkir: Dragonstorm includes Play Boosters, Collector Boosters, Commander Decks, Prerelease Packs, and Bundles.

Ed Sheeran Announces Brand New Single ‘AZIZAM’’ released on April 4th

Get ready to immerse yourself in the enchanting world of “Azizam”. A Persian term of endearment that means “my dear” or “my beloved,” Ed’s new song is a return to joy, to light, to love and to fun! “Azizam” began as a meeting of minds in the studio with Swedish/Iranian producer Ilya Salmanzadeh (Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, Ellie Goudling, Sam Smith). Driven by Ed’s relentless curiosity they soon realised how much Persian and Irish folk music have in common and how only Ed could set those influences in a pop context. The result is a hedonistic technicolor call to action to live the moment “in between the dancing lights” on the dancefloor until the Sun rises. A celebration of cross-cultural collaborations brought to life, this rhythmic pop song is about the universality of emotion.

Ed said…“Even though it’s completely different to anything that I’ve ever done before, Azizam feels familiar to me. I wanted to create a party atmosphere in a song and Ilya Salmanzadeh, who I worked with on the track, helped bring that to life. He was so inspiring to work with.”

In the video accompanying the single release, Ed embarks on a journey across the US and UK with a pink, heart-shaped balloon in tow. He takes in the sights of New York from an iconic yellow taxi, cruises through Los Angeles in a classic open-top car, and braves the elements in rural Massachusetts. Along the way, he leads a street party in New Orleans and makes stops in Boston and Nashville. And, of course, no trip would be complete without a visit to his beloved Ipswich Town FC. Watch Here

After closing the chapter on his Mathematics era, Ed Sheeran is finally back and stepping boldly into a fresh new phase for 2025. An artist who has continuously pushed himself, and his craft, into new territory, Sheeran has collaborated with producers and writers from across the globe on his upcoming album, which promises to be one of the years defining pop records (details of which will be released soon).

RHK Land & The Velaris Residences Present All Fur Love Pet Fair for Animal Welfare

All Fur Love: A Pet Fair for Pets and Their Humans was held at The Velaris Residences Show Gallery in Bridgetowne in partnership with Biyaya Animal Care, the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), Cats of Bridgetowne, TrueValue, Handyman, and popular pet brands like Pet Lovers Centre, Whole Pet Kitchen, Wooftop, Spoiled Pets Club, The Pet Project, Hyugo, Clifford and Felix, Fetch Naturals, Bow Wow, Cat Chew, and Royal Canin.

Aside from the booths, pet lovers enjoyed free vet consultation by Biyaya Animal Care and a pet photo booth by Frisky Pawtraits.

The event also featured insightful talks by prominent voices in animal welfare. Rina Ortiz of Biyaya Animal Care discussed the state of animal welfare in the country and how individuals can contribute to positive change. Sharon Bengzon-Yap of PAWS addressed the humane management of community cats. Veterinarian Dr. Gab Almera spoke about responsible pet parenting and the importance of pet healthcare. Finally, Keith Salas of South City K9 emphasized the importance of dog training and how it can foster a deeper connection between owners and their pets.

Our pet policy will allow residents to have pets inside their units. But RHK Land’s commitment goes beyond our pet policy. In preparation for the turnover of our South Tower in May this year, RHK Land launched a TNVR (Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Return) program for the stray cats of Bridgetowne. We’ve already completed two TNVR runs in partnership with Biyaya Animal Care’s TNVR team, and we’ve successfully neutered and vaccinated 45 cats in the estate. We believe this program is groundbreaking and cements RHK Land’s commitment to animal welfare.”

TNVR, or Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return, offers a humane, effective, and practical solution to managing stray cat populations. This method involves the humane catching of stray cats, neutering them and vaccinating them against rabies, and then safely returning them to their outdoor territories. By preventing uncontrolled breeding, TNVR directly reduces the number of kittens born outdoors, thereby reducing their population over time. TNVR also significantly reduces nuisance behaviors associated with unfixed strays such as fighting and yowling, leading to a more tranquil residential environment. Moreover, vaccinated and sterilized cats act as a natural, on-site defense, limiting the spread of diseases within the community and effectively deterring new, unfixed cats from entering and multiplying. This proactive approach fosters a healthier, more stable, and ultimately, a more desirable neighborhood for all residents.

In essence, All Fur Love at The Velaris Residences wasn’t just a pet fair; it was a powerful statement of RHK Land’s dedication to creating a truly inclusive and harmonious living environment. By championing initiatives like TNVR and fostering open dialogue on animal welfare, The Velaris Residences demonstrates that luxury living extends beyond material comforts to embrace a compassionate and responsible approach to community. This commitment to coexistence, where both humans and animals thrive, solidifies The Velaris Residences as a pioneering force in redefining luxurious, pet-friendly living.
