Excerpts from Business World, Feb 8 2018

TORRE LORENZO Development Corp or TLDC, together with the Philippine Hoteliers, Inc. (PHI), announced on Wednesday that it will be developing a P1.9-billion Dusit Thani Hotel at Lubi Plantation in Davao Gulf and a P3-billion Dusit Princess Lipa Hotel in Batangas.

The Dusit Princess Lipa Hotel will house 152 rooms. The hotel will be inside a one-hectare complex set to include residential buildings, an international restaurant, and business center.

“There’s too much hype in Tagaytay, when really the growth is in Lipa. The presence in Lipa is in pursuit of our vision to be in fast growing secondary cities in the Philippines, and hopefully Lipa is be the first among many,” TLDC Chief Financial Officer Emmanuel A. Rapadas said in a press briefing in Makati yesterday.

The company looks to finish the project by 2021. Full story here: http://bworldonline.com/2-dusit-thani-hotels-rise-lipa-cit…/

MarLiCa Art Gym: Another First for Lipa

MarLiCa Art Gym is a place where beginner and seasoned artists who are interested in visual arts, come and work on their projects. It is a conducive environment for collaboration and sharing of ideas and skills.
Art Gym located in Inosluban, Lipa City was conceptualized 20 years ago by MarLiCa or Dr Marichu Carstensen who felt that there is no place that gives access to materials, instructions and a nurturing environment to young artists. They offer basic drawing, painting, sculpting, mosaic making, pottery and candle making without shelling out a fortune.
Starting at only 1,900 pesos you or your kids can enroll in Art Gym classes while sponsored membership is available to indigent students, unemployed and others with demonstrated financial need. For more details, please visit MarLiCa Art Gym page https://www.facebook.com/Marlica-Art-Gym-131968740822276/
