Green-thumbing: the art of self-care at The Grove at Plantation Hills
As we try to find more ways to cope with a massively disruptive health crisis, taking charge of our emotional and mental well-being becomes more crucial than ever. This may mean having to stay grounded for the long haul, socially distanced from the company of friends.

‘We’re not backing out of Tacloban’
That essentially was the promise of SM Prime Holdings president Hans Sy at the Top Leaders Forum 2013 that gathered all top businessmen across different industries to discuss the ramifications of global warming and climate change, and how the private sector can increase resilience.

Apparently, the SM Group is not about to throw in the towel and may even expand. That’s very reassuring since economic activity has to be revived to create jobs and make it easier for things to return to “normal” (or at least a semblance of it, especially for children who survived the onslaught).
