Poblacion Market Central - Newest Lifestyle Destination in Davao

Jexx Hinggo 10:15 PM food , lifestyle 0 Comments

Poblacion Market Central Davao jexxhinggo.com

A new lifestyle destination in Davao opened its doors offering more shopping, dining, and entertainment experience. Alsons Development and Investment Corporation (Alsons Dev) launched Poblacion Market Central. This new hub showcases a variety of art, antiques, souvenir shops, and local restaurants.

Alsons Dev built the famous Aldevinco shopping center on the corner of Claro M Recto Street and Roxas Avenue in 1965. Early in 2022, Alsons Dev closed the old shopping center and relocated its tenants to Poblacion, providing better facilities, marketing support, and foot traffic.

You will still see the colorful Mindanaoan textiles, antiques, and pearl shops from Aldevinco in the new Poblacion Market Central. Now with a food hall that serves delectable dishes and drinks served by local restaurants like Majid's Kebab and Bo's Coffee.

At the atrium area, a massive mural by Mindanaoan contemporary artist Kublai Millan stands to welcome customers. I'm glad to be part of the unveiling last August 15 with Kublai Millan himself, our Mayor Baste Duterte, Alson Dev Team, and other government officials.

"Alsons Dev is happy to host and showcase the work of Davao's best creatives. Whether they make food, sculptures, weaves and textiles, or handicrafts, we believe that testing their concepts in a place like Poblacion Market Central contributes to a retail and cultureal scene that is meant to gain national recognition. Poblacion, true to its tagline, is a place where the heritage of Davao meets the possibilities of a hip and ever-evolving market," says Miguel A. dominguez, Alsons Dev Director.

Here are some of the restaurants around and inside Kukun, Poblacion's food hall.

Shell NSAC’s Virtual Art Interact: How young creative minds can ‘restART’ the nation’s future

Jexx Hinggo 11:40 PM lifestyle , 0 Comments

The resourcefulness and creativity of young artists can be a powerful voice in moving the country forward, as the empowering messages in their pieces can reignite expression, the hope of the people, and the restrengthening of the economy. This was the timely and powerful idea that reverberated during the recent Virtual Art Interaction, now on its second year and held by the long-running Shell National Students Art Competition (NSAC). The event’s ‘restART’ theme also signified that the nation’s future can be rebuilt and revitalized through art.

Launched by Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation 54 years ago, the NSAC annually convenes aspiring young artists, masters, and art enthusiasts to champion Filipino artistry and creativity. The event also provides student and rising artists an avenue where they can both showcase their works, as well as learn from masters how to succeed in this unique, if challenging industry.

“Art has the power to change hearts and minds and communicates messages through a powerful display of sound, visuals, and all of these combined. Filipinos can use the power of their art to keep the Philippines moving forward,” said Conrad Parizal, the Social Performance Adviser for Downstream of Pilipinas Shell.

The power of conceptual art

Shell NSAC’s restART vision calls for young artists to come together to visualize a brighter tomorrow for all Filipinos, using their work and skills. Art has the power to influence society, form opinions, and instill values because it can translate messages and experiences across language, time, and culture, as it acts as a vehicle for social change. The pieces of art created during the event emphasize the importance of hope which can rise when artists and the public work together.

Multimedia artist Emard Cañedo, explained further the role that art plays during these challenging times: “Art is a form of therapy. It helps us cope with the pandemic. In the long run, after the pandemic, those who practiced art can utilize it as a tool to express themselves.”

The event highlight was a deep dive into Conceptual Art, where the artist makes use of the materials he has available to get their ideas across. This includes exploring alternative resources like charcoal, crayons, lipstick or other beauty items, used newspapers and magazines, and cardboard boxes.

Then Cañedo, a visual artist and art educator whose works probe the current socio-political conditions through visual idioms, held a one-hour workshop on ‘Still Life: Finding Life in Art in the Time of Crisis.’ Joining him in the panel discussion was 2007 NSAC Winner Gino Bueza whose art specializes in the elements of collage, where fragmented images are merged into layered juxtapositions of color, pattern, and form.

Bueza reinforced his belief in conceptual art, saying, “Joining NSAC makes me happy and helps me to be resourceful with the limited materials. Limited material is not a blockade to express the message you want to say – but it can build confidence.”

How to succeed in art

Virtual Art Interact emphasized how young artists can further develop and challenge their art process. Given limitations in resources during times of crisis, the workshop students learned how to use different and ‘ordinary’ materials to enhance their art practice.

Leaders from the art world also gave their insights on and guidance to the students on how to be a successful artist.

“Support is really important in this field, like what Shell is doing: providing a future platform where artists can showcase their piece,” said comic book writer and illustrator Berlin Manalaysay.

Carla Francisco, the almost-architect turned art intern, pointed out another factor to success: “[Be] willing to learn. Ask from those who know more. The successful artists took the time to learn, and asked the right questions.”

Filipino-Asian modern and contemporary artist Richard Buxani agreed, then adding that “people from diverse backgrounds can easily adopt. Let’s say you have a degree in accountancy, how do you combine numbers with your work in Fine Arts? Or if you have a degree in chemistry, how do you weave that with sculpture? It starts with passion.”

In his closing message, Cañedo encourages his younger colleagues: “Don’t be shy to explore ideas. What we need is to continue with progress.”

Future Virtual Art Interactions

There will be two more legs of Virtual Art Interaction: “Tech and Art” on November 13; and “Art and Advocacy” on November 20. Those who want to reignite their creative passion and learn about art from masters of the craft can click on http://www.shell.com.ph/JuanArtNation

Caltex Havoline new motorcycle products raise the bar for even better overall performance

Jexx Hinggo 11:09 PM lifestyle , 0 Comments

There's a new generation of four-stroke motorcycle and scooter engine oils from Caltex Halvoline. The new product line includes fully synthetic, semi-synthetic, and mineral products formulated with Halvoline's signature C.O.R.E. + Technology and ZOOMTECH. All formulated for increased reliability and engine efficiency.

C.O.R.E.+ Technology is an improvement over the previous C.O.R.E. Technology and further addresses key concerns, especially in stressful city traffic conditions. These engine oils deliver a more enjoyable riding experience with enhanced engine performance and cleaning properties.

The entire Havoline Super 4T and SuperMatic 4T range also meet American Petroleum Institute (API) SN 1, one of the latest specifications in the industry.

“Today’s consumers are more discerning with the engine oils they choose, and most demand for better protection and performance of the engine, clutch, and gearbox,” said Area Business Manager of Chevron Lubricants for Philippines Hafiz Nasar. “The newest generation of motorcycle engine oils spurs from our success of the previous Havoline motorcycle range and raises the bar for product performance across the industry. We constantly improve and evolve our products to meet the latest industry’s standards, while also keeping abreast of the lubrication requirements of vehicle manufacturers as their engine technology advances.”

C.O.R.E.+ Technology

Cleans and protects – Maintains efficient engine performance
Oxidation stability – Protects against oil degradation
Reduces engine heat damage – Delivers continuous and superior oil stability
Enhances acceleration – Improves clutch grip under high loads with ZOOMTECH

In addition, these engine oils 2 are also formulated with ZOOMTECH, which delivers better oil frictional properties. For the everyday rider, this improves clutch grip and prevents slippage, especially under high load conditions, and ensures maximum power transfer for enhanced acceleration.

Lastly, the entire range of Havoline Super 4T and SuperMatic 4T engine oils now meet API SN performance specifications, which delivers benefits including:

High-temperature piston deposit protection
Improved robustness in wear control
Enhanced oxidation thickening for better lubrication of the engine
Sludge control properties, especially in urban, stop-go conditions

The previously well-received Ride Strong campaign takes on a refreshing new look this year, with a more dynamic set of visuals that covers print, digital, and OOH applications. Product labels and cartons have also been redesigned for better legibility.

Caltex range of products for motorcycles and scooters also include:

Caltex Havoline Ezy 4T SAE 20W-40 API SG JASO MA2
Caltex Havoline Scooter Gear Oil SAE 80W-90 API GL-5
Techron ® Concentrate Plus - Motorcycle
Caltex Brake and Clutch Fluid DOT 3
