“There are plenty of grand and beautiful churches in Europe, but I strongly believe we can also have them in our country”.These were the words of Fr. Jerome R. Secillano, Parish Priest of the Nuestra Senora Del Perpetuo Socorro (NSPS) Parish in Calamba Street (between Instruccion and Sisa Sts.), Sampaloc, Manila, when he decided to embark on the reconstruction of the church in 2013.
After years of waiting, the church, which now appears to be at par with those in Europe, will be Dedicated (inaugurated) on October 29, 2022, Saturday, at 5:00 p.m., by His Eminence Jose F. Cardinal Advincula, Jr., D.D., Archbishop of Manila. The solemn activity will be attended by Bishops, priests, government officials, benefactors and parishioners. “All are welcome to worship in this exquisite house of prayer. When you do, please remember to pray for the benefactors, donors, contractors and ordinary workers who sacrificed tirelessly to complete this project. Without them, there won’t be a new Nstra. Sra. Del Perpetuo Socorro Church”, Fr. Jerome said.
As more events gear up this upcoming holiday season, it’s high time for Lustre Awards and Metro Fashion Ball for a resounding comeback after its successful inaugural show before a two-year hiatus due to a pandemic.

LUXE ORGANIX BATH SPLASH SECOND RETURNS WITH A SECOND WAVE
Due to the unmatched success of the very first Bath Splash giveaway contest, dermatologically tested skincare brand Luxe Organix is treating its avid customers with the second wave of its Giveaway promo with over 2 million worth of prizes to be won.
After almost eight years since its launch in the Philippines, LUXE ORGANIX has become a beauty regimen brand favorite among Filipinos. The famous beauty and skincare brand are known for its line of serums, soothing gels, soaps, lotions, and hair care that aims to transform and empower the beauty of every Filipina.
Last Friday, October 14, in Mandaluyong City, to celebrate the success of its first run, Luxe Organix announces the second wave of its famous giveaway promo Bath Splash. “As our way of expressing our deepest gratitude to all our customers, we would like to treat them with a bigger giveaway promo,” shares Mr. Eugene T. Yap, CEO of Genson Distribution Inc.
A minimum single receipt purchase of PHP 1,500 worth of LUXE ORGANIX skin, body and hair care products gets the customer a chance to score any of the exciting prizes worth over 2 million pesos.
Prizes include three (3) iPhone 14 and iPad 9, two (2) Louis Vuitton bags, and an Hermes Birkin Bag. The giveaway promo runs from October 1 to December 31, 2022.
At the said event, Luxe Organix reported another laurel on its cap as the brand received a Dermatologically tested seal acknowledged by experts in KC Research Center in South Korea and Dermatest Research Institute for Reliable Results in Germany.
This announcement follows the company’s mission of providing every Filipino customer with high-quality products at affordable price points, “At Luxe Organix we pride ourselves on extensive scientific rigor when it comes to developing a new product,” said Mr. Eugene T. Yap, CEO of Genson Distribution, Inc.
The exclusive seal from experts is a nod to the company’s vision that ensures all products are suitable and safe for sensitive skin. All of Luxe Organix’s products were tested in their final form assessing each and every potential that might cause irritation and sensitization (allergic reactions) on the skin.
Present at the launch are Dr. Drolah Sanchez, Dr. Bea Maxine Chan, and Dr. Kei Rebolleda who explained the importance of this seal. When having sensitive skin, which can translate into redness, itchiness, and dryness, among other symptoms, people tend to be anxious about trying new products. Understanding the role sensitive skin plays in most people’s everyday life has the same importance as understanding the role the “dermatologically tested” label plays for Luxe Organix’s cosmetic and hair products.
“We are committed to providing holistic Filipina beauties with clinic-grade skincare products that are highly effective and give great value for money,” Yap ended in a statement.
