Year after year, we’re faced with this quandary: how do we make Father’s Day special for dad? It’s easier with mom. There are go-to gifts for her. With dad who seems to have it all, it’s not as clear-cut. Rockwell recognizes this challenge. From June 13 to 19, Rockwell celebrates Father’s Day through events that will surely make his day.
At Power Plant Mall, dads can relish their dream adventure at Lexus’ car display at the North Court, R1 Level. The occasion gets even more exciting as mall-goers are in for a treat. Rockwellist mobile app users are given free parking on Father’s Day. All they have to do is present their voucher on the app at the ticket booth. It’s a double win for shoppers too, as they can buy gifts for dads while earning double points via The Rockwellist Rewards, for purchases made from June 17 to 19.
To satisfy dad’s cravings on his special day, why not dine at the most sought-after restaurants, like Mamou, a mano, CDP Global Table, Marudori, and Ramen Ron in Rockwell Center? The entire family can enjoy steaks that are cooked to perfection, fresh and faithful Italian pasta, or delectable global cuisine. If he’s the type to explore premium craft drinks, then the newly opened Bar Pintxos in 8 Rockwell is worth a try.
Booze also comes in handy, in the form of handcrafted pralines with other chocolate flavors. These curated confection sets are exclusively available on shop.TheRockwellist.com, in partnership with CMV Txokolat, a proudly local brand.
The celebration continues even outside Rockwell Center, as Bike Shop in Santolan Town Plaza holds a special pop-up for dads who are avid cyclists, on June 18 to 19. Families can get creative with their gifts for dad with Brera Deli and Butchery’s offerings of assorted cheese and cold-cuts platters.
Movie enthusiasts are entitled to two (2) free cinema passes at Santolan Town Plaza, for every P5,000 spent in Marketplace and True Value, and P2,500 spent in the rest of the San Juan retail row’s establishments, for purchases made on June 17 to 19.
For the Rockwell community in Pasig, The Grove Retail Row offers booze and bites, men’s accessories, and more at their Father’s Day Fair happening on June 17 to 19. To learn more about how Rockwell celebrates dads this year, visit their Facebook and Instagram pages.

The secret to smoother, brighter skin has always been right under our noses: the humble Papaya.
The fruit is not only delicious, but it is also a good source of fiber, Vitamins C, and Vitamin A, as well as antioxidants that help prevent chronic diseases, reduce cancer risk, or even slow down cancer progression. In addition to keeping the body healthy, it is also best known for keeping the skin at its best: reducing wrinkles, sagging, and of course, promoting brighter and smoother skin. For decades, Papaya has been a beauty cult favorite and has become one of the most prominent natural ingredients in personal care products. That is all thanks to an enzyme called Papain, which can act as a strong skin exfoliator that removes dead skin cells, making the skin brighter and more supple.
Now, through the no. 1 Lotion brand in the Philippines, you can get naturally brighter and smoother skin in just 5 days with the new and improved Avon Naturals Papaya & Soy Collection—made from 100% Papaya fruit!
“Avon Naturals has always been nature-inspired, and with Papaya, you can’t go wrong especially if you want smooth, glowing skin,” says Dione Cotoco, Head of Beauty, Avon Philippines.
The Avon Naturals Papaya & Soy Hand & Body Lotion provides 4x more Papaya extracts which when applied, can moisturize your skin for 30 hours leaving skin soft, smooth, and looking healthy. Dermatologically tested, each application is lightweight, non-greasy, non-sticky and quick absorbing! Nourish and brighten your skin now and avail in 200mL, 400mL, and 750mL variants.
The mild and cleansing Avon Naturals Papaya & Soy Shower Gel will leave your skin soft and smooth with each cleanse with 4x Papaya extract as the Hand and Body Lotion. Meanwhile, the Avon Naturals Papaya & Soy Bar Soap will make you fresh from head to toe with every wash with 2x Papaya extract.
The Avon Naturals Papaya & Soy Collection is free from Parabens, Triclosan, Lanolin, Phthalates, Benzophenone, Mineral Oil and Silicon – all of which are proven to be harmful to the body over time.
Cotoco continues, “Everything in this collection is expertly formulated without these harmful chemicals and ingredients. Every time you wash, lather, moisturize, you will get a burst of joy, feel you will get closer to nature, and ultimately achieve brighter and smoother skin.”
Naturally brighter, smoother skin in as fast as 5 days? Yes! Feel a burst of joy daily with the new and improved Avon Naturals Papaya & Soy Collection!

They start attacking Piccolo and Gohan… What is the New Red Ribbon Army’s objective? In the face of approaching danger, it is time to awaken, Super Hero!
The film, with full commitment and deep involvement from Dragon Ball’s original creator Akira Toriyama, has the legendary manga creator behind the film’s original story, screenplay and character design.
Additionally, the film will be directed by Tetsuro Kodama and the Japanese voice actors for the film include Masako Nozawa (Son Goku, Son Gohan, and Son Goten), Toshio Furukawa (Piccolo), Aya Hisakawa (Bulma), Ryō Horikawa (Vegeta), Mayumi Tanaka (Krillin), Takeshi Kusao (Trunks), Yūko Minaguchi (Videl), Yūko Minaguchi (Pan), Miyu Irino (Dr. Hedo), Hiroshi Kamiya (Gamma 1), Mamoru Miyano (Gamma 2), Volcano Ota (Magenta), and Ryota Takeuchi (Carmine).
The Dragon Ball phenomena began in 1984 when Japan’s well-known manga from Akira Toriyama premiered in Shueisha’s “Weekly Shonen Jump” – becoming a top ranked title throughout its 10 and a half years of publication. Since then, the manga’s popularity has continued to grow with an astonishing record of 260 million copies sold worldwide and counting. And with Dragon Ball’s ever-increasing popularity, it has expanded beyond manga to include TV animation, movies, games and merchandising. Now 38 years after the launch of the original manga, Dragon Ball continues to evolve and will reach new heights starting with this new large-scale movie.
