‘THE PROPERTY BROTHERS’ VISIT MANILA FOR BIG HGTV LAUNCH IN THE PHILIPPINES
AS a newlywed, Saab Magalona incorporates her interests and those of her husband's in their living room.
LEADING home and lifestyle entertainment brand, HGTV, recently introduced home and design enthusiasts to two of the channel’s biggest stars, celebrity television hosts and real-life twin brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott. Better known as the Property Brothers, the Scotts visited Manila for the first leg of a promotional tour in Asia to celebrate the launch of HGTV to the region. In the Philippines, HGTV is available on SKYcable on Channel 88 (SD) and Channel 246 (HD), and on Cignal Digital TV. With more than 15 years of experience in making dream homes a reality for homeowners, Drew and Jonathan Scott are television’s twin titans. Their witty banter, charming personalities and uncanny knack for uncovering real-estate treasures have helped make the Property Brothers the faces of home renovation on television since Property Brothers made its US debut on HGTV in 2011. Since then, the talented and charismatic duo have gone on to star in other hit programs, such as Buying and Selling and Brother versus Brother. The brothers participated in a series of road shows and exclusive events in Manila, where fans had the rare opportunity to meet the brothers at the Glorietta Activity Center, and also at an exclusive, invite-only dinner event through a “Meet and Greet” giveaway contest in the HGTV Asia Facebook page (www.facebook.com/hgtvasia). When asked about his visit, Drew Scott, the realestate half of the duo, said, “I’m excited to be back in the Philippines, having been to Manila before. I love its cultural landmarks, beautiful architecture and wonderful people. It is such an honor to be part of the HGTV launch in Asia, and delighted to have met the fans in the Philippines, answer all their questions about home design, and get to know more about their lifestyle and culture.” Echoing his brother’s sentiments, Jonathan Scott, an experienced contractor, said, “It feels great to

PANNZIAN Beach Resort’s goal is to create sustainable tourism and instill a sense of pride, livelihood and ownership in the community.
NIKKI BONCAN-BUENSALIDO
design@buensalidoarchitects.com www.buensalidoarchitects.com
I
CAN N finally say I have reached the tip of the Philippines (well, almost). A trip that I made recently was ostensibly for a site visit of a beach resort in Pagudpud, which is accessible by a plane to Laoag, or a 10-hour road trip from Manila. What initially started off as an ocular ended up with my party being added to the list of resort owner Tita Bing’s growing family of “adopted children.” Which was fitting: the place felt like a home away from home. Pannzian Beach Resort is a haven that allows you to connect to the essentials that might have been forgotten, disconnecting you from all the things that keep us so preoccupied that we forget to stop and smell the rose. There is no TV here, no Wi-Fi, no mobile-phone signal—well, save for a weak one from Smart that can only be accessed under what I call “The Tree of Life.” One is encouraged to abstain from the electronic toys that distract us from the real meaning of downtime.
What I loved about the property was that it has a seaside and a mountainside, giving you the best of both worlds. Interestingly, I learned how the property, which has been passed down through generations, started out as a private seaside family escape that eventually opened up to visitors looking for a respite from life’s hurly-burly. Its organic growth around the beach and the river has its own distinct charm. After all these years, the resort is still run by the same family, thus the services provided are informed by love and happiness. These genuine qualities shared with us by Tita Bing, along with the natural beauty of the place, are like an anchor to the soul. It is refreshing, relaxing and recharging. Where else can you sit at the edge of the cliff with a view of the sea as far as your eye can see? Or where else can you watch the tides flow and ebb against the calm of a river? Since the 1800s, the place has been kept more or less the same—untouched, pristine, light, airy and, most of all, soulful. I always enjoy the beach and the sense of serenity it brings, but there was something different about this property. It felt like it had been cared for and nurtured. The property radiated happiness and satisfaction, offering proof that nature will take care of you and provide for you if you do your part in taking care of it as well. The beach property is vast but it feels private nonetheless, with views of the northern tip of the country toward the West Philippine Sea enveloping you. In the distance, you will hear the cries of fishermen echo signaling the sighting of fish near the shore and in an hour, the entire village reels a huge net filled with
the ocean’s bounty. I joined them as they hauled in the catch and as a reward, they gave me a whole fish, much to my surprise. The mountains, on the other hand, surround the other side of the property. They are dotted not just by farms but also rice paddies, hidden springs and towering waterfalls. My adrenaline for thrill and adventure was pumping. Tita Bing’s son Ken was more than happy to take us around and show us how to disconnect oneself from urban distractions. They brought us back to nature and introduced us to various plant and wildlife species. Adding to the excitement, the food served at Pannzian is homegrown, organic and cooked with love. It was another treat for the senses as most of the ingredients came from their own backyard. Tita Bing’s cooking is sumptuous and creative, and she sees the value in introducing guests to what the locals eat—mostly fresh seafood and vegetables, which is how I like it. I distinctly remember the taste of her mongo soup, her puso ng saging kilawin and her pancit sisig paired with a basil and kamias shake whose ingredients she had picked off her garden. The pancit sisig was delightful as she used vegetables instead of the usual pork ingredients. Apart from the elements of nature, the resort also offers a variety of rooms for a family or a group to stay in. They have simple but spacious and comfortable rooms, and they even have a camping site for the more adventurous travelers. I challenged myself to stay in a tent on my next visit as the camping grounds are situated under a lush area covered with trees just a little
off the shoreline. One can even opt to have a bonfire to keep warm at night as this area in the north can get chilly. We had a bonfire going one night while we were there, and Tita Bing served us kinilaw na kuhol and fresh steamed curacha by the beach. What really piqued my interest in this pocket up north was how all of the family’s efforts led toward the development and betterment of the community. Developments nowadays tend to create their own communities by creating a wall that separates the locals from their envisioned space. It is rare that we come across a family that believes the continuing growth of one’s business doesn’t have to be at the expense of the community. Most of the staff of the Pannzian are from neighboring barangays. They are the ones who serve, cook, do the landscaping and maintenance. Some even serve as local guides. These include fishermen gracious enough to teach you how to catch fish—and even share their bounty with you. Tita Bing said the community plays a big role in the success of this resort and the owners acknowledge everyone for that. Ken said that their goal is to strengthen a sustainable tourism economy and instill a sense of pride, livelihood and ownership in the community. This is what makes this resort stand out from the rest. It has no frills because there is no need for them. Here, nature is the star of the show and provides all the excitement. The sea and the mountains do the work for this family, and in return, the family cares for the treasures that nature provides. Certainly, in this type of environment, going back to the basics is not such a bad thing after all. n
Sliding doors expand the concept of the open floor plan B V P The Charlotte Observer WIDEOPEN floor plans are a trend that has endured for a decade. Removing walls and opening up our rooms removes visual and physical clutter. Now we are expanding this concept even more by removing doors to pantries, laundry rooms and even bathrooms. Making multiple trips to your pantry while cooking or your laundry room—arms filled with piles of clothes—is a lot easier if there’s no door to contend with. Master bathroom suites with separate water closets function beautifully if you don’t have to open and close the main door every time you go in or out. A home office becomes more airy and less isolated if you can widen the doorway better access to the rest of the living spaces and more light. Sounds great, but what happens when we need privacy or want to hide the clutter? Designers and architects are choosing custom sliding doors to solve these issues. I’ve used sliding doors or “barn doors” in many design projects. The benefits are huge. Unlike
old-fashioned pocket doors, sliding doors are installed outside the wall. This eliminates problems with in-thewall door mechanisms. Most important, sliding doors don’t require the standard 15 square feet of clearance space for doors to swing open or closed. Furniture can be placed directly in front of sliding doors. Install sliding doors on an existing opening, from a wide arched walkway to a standard door opening. You’ll need a flat wall on one or both sides of the opening. For example, if you have a standard interior door opening of 30 inches, you’ll need a 30-inch-wide wall on either side, or 15 inches of wall space on each side. Depending on the type of track you selected for your door hardware, you may need a few more inches. I prefer referring to this style of door as sliding doors instead of barn doors. The latter leads many homeowners to believe this style of door is for the more rustic, traditional, cottage-style homes. Not true. Manufacturers are creating contemporary doors with textured glass, metal, lacquered and painted finishes. Sun Mountain Doors has watched its clients’ tastes change over the years. The company now creates sliding doors for most any style of home, from Colorado to Manhattan. Don’t forget the hardware; it’s the bling that completes the look you’re trying to achieve. Make sure it’s high-quality and built to last. Specialty stores offer a variety of styles and finishes, including stainless steel, chrome, iron and steel. It’s important to work together with your door manufacturer and hardware supplier to get the right mix of products. Go ahead and take down that old-fashioned door and replace it with an updated sliding door. Making your house function for your family is what homeownership is really all about. It’s your home—make the most of it.

SPRINT TO THE FINISH B D F | The Associated Press
“I’m looking forward to just having a minute to regroup and take a look at what’s going on,” Mickelson said. Jeff Overton, Brendan Steele and Russell Knox, who lost in a four-man playoff last year at PGA National, also were at four under. Poulter was right about one thing. He did play some good golf, except for those two holes. He was bogey-free for a 66 in the third round, taking him from a two-shot deficit to a three-shot lead over Reed and Padraig Harrington going into the final round. It was his first 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour. Harrington twice missed short putts—making bogey on No. 4 and double bogey on No. 6—and was at three under. Poulter at least was pleased with how he left the course with that 6-iron for birdie. He will try to end more than two years without a victory. “Silly things happen,” he said. “Tiring, and made a couple of really bad swings on 5 and 6. But that kind of angered me inside enough to spark a little bit of energy there to hit a good shot on 7.”
ALM BEACH GARDENS, Florida—Ian Poulter didn’t realize he had a three-shot lead in the Honda Classic, only that he was playing well enough to feel like he was in control of his game and the tournament. One shank changed everything on Sunday. “That just came out of left field,” Poulter said. His next tee shot that splashed down in the water left of the fairway made it even worse. “It was a bit of a body blow,” he said. What had been a marathon day at soggy PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) National suddenly turned into a sprint-to-the-finish on Monday morning when the final round was to resume. Poulter lost command of the Honda Classic, but he didn’t lose his place atop the leaderboard. He was at 7-under par through seven holes, tied with Paul Casey, who went out in 31 and was in the left rough on the 10th hole when the final round was halted at sunset. Patrick Reed, in the final group with Poulter, was one shot behind. Phil Mickelson was among four players who were three shots behind at 4-under par. That group included Daniel Berger, the PGA Tour rookie from West Palm Beach whose final shot on Sunday was a 35-foot chip-in for birdie on the 11th hole. “I’m pretty pleased with the golf I’ve played throughout the whole of today,” Poulter said. “I haven’t really made many mistakes at all. I’ve put it in position an awful lot, which is encouraging right now. And If I do that tomorrow, then I’m going to be in a good position.” His two mistakes were big ones. Leading by three shots, he tried to take a little off an 8-iron
on the par-3 fifth hole, where the green is guarded by water on the left. Poulter hit a shank that went so far to the right it bounced into water on the sixth hole. He made double bogey and lost the lead. On his next tee shot, he pulled his drive into the water down the left side of the sixth fairway and had to two-putt from 65 feet to escape with bogey. “You take your foot off the accelerator for one second, all of a sudden you find yourself completely out of position,” Poulter said. For a day of plodding across the rain-softened fairways, the Honda Classic suddenly was full of energy, not to mention possibilities. There was a three-shot swing at No. 5 when Reed holed a 35-foot birdie putt from a swale right of the fifth green and Poulter made his double bogey. Reed took the lead on No. 6 when Poulter made bogey. And then Poulter was on the right end of a two-shot swing at their final hole of the long day, the par-3 seventh. His eyes a little wider, his blood boiling, Poulter drilled a 6-iron into 3 feet for birdie, while Reed missed the green to the left and failed to get up-and-down. No longer forgotten was Casey, who made four birdies on the front nine, all from no more than 12 feet. His birdie on No. 9 moved him into a share of the lead. The Monday finish was caused by nearly 5 inches of rain and 50 mph gusts that washed out the third round on Saturday and took a 78-member grounds crew until 10 a.m. Sunday just to get the course ready. It had so much water

that the crew had to chase off an alligator from the bunkers. Players finished the third round and went right back out to squeeze in as many holes as possible. The final round was to resume at 8 a.m. “This sort of situation is going to be difficult for everybody, and it just breaks up momentum,” said Casey, who had more than anyone. “Some guys will carry it through tomorrow. Others won’t, and that’s very difficult to predict.... You just hope you wake up tomorrow and you feel like you’ve got the same kind of golf swing and putts are going in the hole. You just don’t know. Hope the golfing gods are nice to us tomorrow.” That’s what Mickelson was thinking. He opened with two quick birdies and was getting closer to the lead until pushing a 4-foot par putt on the sixth hole. Mickelson had 10foot par putt on the ninth hole when he returned on Monday morning.

three-stroke swing on the par-4 15th. Yang made a short birdie putt on the hole, and Lewis had a double bogey af after blasting a 67-yard wedge shot over the green. Yang bogeyed No. 16 and closed with two pars to finish at 15-under 273 on Siam Country Club’s Pattaya Old Course. “I don’t know what just happened,” Yang said. “I still can’t believe I did it today.” The 25-year-old Yang is projected to jump from 16th to 11th in the world ranking. “I was a little bit nervous out there, but I tried to focus on how low I can go today, just focus on my game,” said Yang, also the 2013 LPGA KEB HanaBank Championship winner in South Korea. She has finished in the top 5 in her last tour starts. She was second last week in the Women’s Australian Open, two
strokes behind top-ranked Lydia Ko. “I worked hard in this off-season and I really wanted to come back and play well,” Yang said. “It came earlier than I thought. I’m going to keep work working hard.” Lewis, the third-round leader, finished with a 72 to match Taiwan’s Yani Tseng and South Korea’s Mirim Lee at 13 under. Tseng, the 2011 and 2012 winner, had a 67, and Lee shot 69. Tseng won the last of her 15 LPGA Tour titles in 2012. “I played good, but I missed bunch of putts out there,” Tseng said. “I was just actually a little nervous out there when I was putting.” Spain’s Beatriz Recari had a 63 to match the course record. She tied for fifth at 12 under with South Korea’s Sei Young Kim (65). AP

Tapping into your inner Jonathan Adler HERE’S a lovely playhouse of Barbie and Ken dolls we build out of bricks, and then there’s a lovely playhouse we build out of Mandaue Foam—that is, if the building is what makes a house and its interior is what makes a home. For what’s now atop the home-furnishing brand (which, from its modest beginnings as a backyard business in 1971, has expanded from foam to mattresses to cabinetry and what have you) are custom-built products that are chic, functional and true to its design philosophy to suit just about any lifestyle. Because we are a pampered lot in so many ways and believe that the home is an extension of one’s personality (so you want that couch channeling Fifty Shades of Grey’s hero/antihero, or in a One Direction print?), Mandaue Foam, which is in the business of pampering, has put design democracy in our hands. Recently, the company curated an exhibition at the Rockwell Tent of the infinite possibilities one can achieve with its offerings of furniture and home accessories, with the mockup home spaces designed by its newest ambassadors—celebs in the guise of a travel blogger, an athlete, a bachelor, a newlywed, a writer, a mom with two kids. It was an “afternoon of comfort, design and leisure” graced by a cult of so-called headliners and hosted by RJ Ledesma and Tessa Prieto-Valdez. For the newlywed Saab Magalona, moving into a two-bedroom apartment with the better half would take some getting used to, and she thought it would be somewhat of a challenge to design their living room that reconciled both their aesthetics. But, Saab said, with Mandaue Foam, she has been able to “compromise without really having to compromise,” what with a comfy living room tinged with gender-neutral earthy colors. “Since we’re newlyweds, I wanted a small change lang muna. I just wanted a love seat—a two-seater—that could [sit well] with the dining table and everything. But [my husband] said the couch had to be really comfy para sa gaming n’ya,” Saab said. Saab was very particular about what she wanted to bring into her home as a married woman, and what she loves about Mandaue Foam is that it’s very flexible. “I saw some stuff I liked but, given the limited condo space we have, we couldn’t bring the pieces home. Instead, we were able to have some items custom-made according to size.” Meanwhile, for model-slash-beauty columnist Kelly Misa Fernandez, who has been meaning to work on decorating her home office since they moved into their three-bedroom townhouse, doing such becomes so much easier with Mandaue Foam. An L-shaped desk punctuated by cabinets behind it, according to Misa-Fernandez, would be handy in

Despite winning the prestigious award, Yonath said it is not a big deal for her because she did not aspire for it. In her lecture, Yonath told the students that gender is not an issue when someone wants to pursue a career in science. She said that students, particularly women, should keep their focus on their goals in life.
