Capistrano-Baker, now based in New York, returned to Malate in preparation for the then-upcoming thematic exhibit. Aptly titled “Timeless: J.

“The stories we tell ourselves matter.” Our beliefs shape not only our self-confidence but also how we perceive and experience reality. This is how Nathan Alba explains the mechanism behind our empowerment healing session, my very first.

From a viewpoint at Mirador Heritage and Eco Park in Baguio, the sun rises over crests of colored rooftops, half-shaded by the line of the mountains. Listen closely, and you’ll hear the low hum of a city bustling with life, textured by the whir of the wind. Baguio glows from this perspective. Color follows you through its streets. In the creative capital, craft is alive in vibrant city markets, electric tapestries from Narda’s, and flower farms that extend to the horizon.
