Liza’s manager shared that because she’s half-Caucasian, people often thought of her as rich but that’s very far from the truth. Being very beautiful and blessed with beautiful skin, Liza’s often mistaken as coming from a well-off family. The truth is; she was having a hard time with their finances and has always wanted to be able to help her family at the time they met.

Ogie said that Liza had nothing but her desire to do something to give her family a good life. In fact, Liza and her father had a debt to Ogie which almost reached Php500K. Father and daughter were so worried then that they won’t be able to pay off their debt to him because she was just starting to try her luck in showbiz. He was however determined that he can make Liza a big star. He trusted her that much and told her that she can pay him when she already has the means.

Who can ever forget typhoon Ondoy in 2009? It was one of the most destructive typhoons to hit the country. The destruction that typhoon Ondoy brought spared no one. One of the victims of Ondoy was actress Sylvia Sanchez. Sylvia and the family had to transfer to another house after the destruction brought by Ondoy. They searched for a higher area which is not flood-prone. They were lucky to have found their present home which is located on an inclined piece of land.

Sylvia and husband Art Atayde worked as a team in transforming their new house into a home. Art was the one who handled the design and construction of the house while Sylvia took charge of the interior design. She was the one who chose the pieces of furniture and decorations. When you see the interiors of the Atayde home, it’s very evident that Sylvia is good when it comes to designing a house. She had achieved a sophisticated and inviting but simple look for the house.

Living Area

The main attraction in the living room is a semi-abstract masterpiece by Arturo Luz, National Artist for Visual Arts. The painting is a part of his painting series which has cyclists as the subject. His painting is the only work of art in the living room. Below the painting is an elegant console table that holds a painted glass décor and porcelain figurines.

The seating pieces are simple but homey and comfy. On the other side of the area, there are several one-of-a-kind furniture pieces and floor-to-ceiling shelves which hold the prized collection of the actress like Lalique and Swarovski crystal pieces, Murano glass vases, and Lladro porcelain art figurines. They are a family who loves to bond whenever they are free from work so it had been a must for them to have several seating pieces in the living area.

Grandfather Kneeled and Prayed during the Cotabato Earthquake

In times of despair especially during natural disasters, the best thing to do is keep your trust in the Lord and know that whatever happens, He will never forsake you. During the October 29, 2019 earthquake in Cotabato City, a grandfather was seen kneeling and praying. A netizen, Jim Bryan Dalida Faeldonia was able to take a photo of the man and he posted it on his Facebook account. One of his children, commented on the post saying that the man’s name is Maximino D. Rubi of Don Carlos, Bukidnon. The old man is going back to Don Carlos when the earthquake happened.

The netizens admired the faith of the grandfather. He was able to show to everyone that when danger comes, the only one that will save you is the power of prayer. Some commented that when everything might seem to be hopeless, God will be there and people just have to keep on believing. Another one said that the greatest shield is prayer so everyone must never forget to keep on praying because it’s one of the supreme weapons that the Lord had given His children.

It can be recalled that on October 29, 2019, Cotabato was hit by an Intensity 6.6 earthquake which had caused millions of damages to buildings and infrastructures. Many people were wounded and there were deaths too. An earthquake is one of the most dreaded disasters that humans can experience.

It comes without a warning and it can hit really hard. It doesn’t only bring damage to properties but more so, it can claim the lives of people. Unlike in typhoons where it can be detected before hitting a certain region, there’s no device yet to detect that an earthquake will happen. There’s nothing people can do but just keep on praying.

This was her second visit to the institution which is the home of around three hundred senior citizens. The twenty-three-year-old beauty queen is from Talisay, Cebu. Ganados promised the senior citizens that she will be giving them eyeglasses to help them improve their eyesight. This is a fulfillment of her dream for her grandmother who had lost her eyesight.

The beauty queen shared that she grew up with her lola. It had been her dream in the past to be able to make her grandmother see the beauty of the surroundings that she’s able to enjoy and to travel with her too. Unfortunately, her grandmother had already passed away and she’s her angel now; guiding her from heaven.

For the fitting and distribution of eyeglasses for the seniors, she had entered into a partnership with a bank foundation. She hopes that it will be done before she leaves in December for the U.S. for the Miss Universe competition. She’s keeping her fingers crossed in the hope of winning the crown.

Gazini has also asked Manila Mayor Isko Moreno if there is anything else that the center needs. One of the seniors told her that medicine is the top priority because not all pharmacies give a 20% discount. The Php500 senior citizen’s allowance is also not enough to cover for their medicines.

The Beauty queen said that the event will be something that she will remember before leaving for the competition. According to the Director of the Coalition of Services for the Elderly, Emily Beridico, they will be able to reach out to the millennials in having Gazini as their ambassador. Being a beauty queen, she has an edge in influencing young people to help out.
