Advertise responsibly WHAT IS RESPONSIBLE GAMING? Responsible Gaming is a concept that gaming establishments need to uphold to ensure their offerings uphold the highest standards to ensure a fair and safe gaming experience that protects players from the adverse consequences of gaming and gambling and in order to minimize potential harm to the individual players and the community, to prevent gambling addiction and to prohibit underage gambling. WHAT IS PROBLEM GAMBLING? Problem Gambling or ludomania as defined in Wikipedia is an urge to continuously gamble despite harmful negative consequences or a desire to stop. It is often defined by whether harm is experienced by the gambler or others, rather than by the gambler’s behavior1. WHAT IS PLAYER EXCLUSION PROGRAM? Player Exclusion Program is being provided by the casino to patrons or relatives who feel that they themselves or their family members are developing problems with gambling with the option of barring them from the gaming venue or site. A casino operator shall not disclose information gathered during the facilitation of an application for Exclusion to any third party, unless legally obliged to do so or with the player’s consent. All information and data, especially the identity of excluded persons, shall be treated as classified information by the designated personnel of stakeholders of the Philippine gaming industry who are given access to the National Database.

WARNING SIGNS OF PROBLEM GAMBLING YOU CAN’T STOP Just as an experienced poker player knows when to “hold ‘em or fold ‘em,” those who gamble for fun limit themselves and their bets. Compulsive gamblers struggle with both the time and money they’re spending. Betting takes over their life, and they find themselves constantly wagering. They try to quit, but can’t. YOU GAMBLE WITH MONEY YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO LOSE JProblem gamblers don’t stop with ”fun money” set aside for betting. They use money budgeted for bills, savings, or their kids’ education. Sometimes they squander not just their last penny, but borrowed money as well. Your bets go beyond entertainment Recreational gamblers play for fun and spend a few dollars to have a good time. Gambling addicts place bets for reasons other than entertainment, often trying to escape anxiety or other problems. Whatever issues you face, gambling isn’t the solution. YOU ATTEMPT TO RECOVER LOSSES BY GAMBLING MORE Have you repeatedly tried to get back money you’ve lost gambling by betting more? Problem gamblers may see more betting as the solution to financial loses rather than what it is – throwing good money after bad YOU GAMBLE WITH MORE AND MORE MONEY Like many addictions, pathological gambling can start small. But problem gamblers won’t be content keeping the stakes low or setting limits. They need to bet more and more to experience the rush. YOU GO TO EXTREMES TO FIND MONEY TO GAMBLE Pathological gamblers don’t stop gambling when their bank account runs dry. Instead they go to extremes to find more money. While this may stop with borrowing, some problem gamblers resort to theft, forgery, or other crimes to feed their habit. YOU PUT GAMBLING BEFORE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS Problem gamblers allow their habit to take priority over other parts of their lives. A gambling addict might skip watching her child’s soccer game or miss time at work to hit the casino. Careers are put on the back burner and relationships deteriorate at the expense their habit. GAMBLING NEGATIVELY AFFECTS YOUR EMOTIONS While gambling can be an exhilarating experience, addicts might experience emotions signaling a problem, including: Frustration or irritation when you’ve tried to quit and failed Feelings of remorse A decrease in ambition An urge to celebrate an unrelated event by gambling GAMBLING IS LIKE ANY ADDICTION The first step is to admit you have a problem. Experts say treatment won’t be effective if the addict can’t take this important first step. Admitting to the problem means you’re ready to make an effort to stop. TIPS TO STOP GAMBLING PROBLEM GET SUPPORT Gambling addictions are hard to fight alone. Family and friends can be a good source of support, therapists, counselors and rehabilitation centers can help recovering addicts share their experiences and find encouragement. AVOID TEMPTATION Addicts have to avoid environments that lead to gambling. Stay away from casinos, race tracks, poker games, or anything else that might remind or tempt you. Cut bad influences out of your life. Take away sources for financing your habit by giving your spouse or someone else control of your money. If you’re using credit cards to fund your habit, cut them up and close the accounts. REPLACE GAMBLING WITH SOMETHING POSITIVE Find a replacement activity or hobby. Whether it’s jogging, rock climbing, or fly fishing, find something to take the place of gambling. SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP The intensity of treatment for gambling addiction varies case-by-case. Up to 70 percent of those with gambling addictions may have other psychiatric conditions, making additional treatment necessary. Psychotherapy may be a part of treatment, and medications are sometimes prescribed that help reduce the urge to wager.

MS. LIWAY ALBA
EVERY MOM, EVERYWHERE, ALL WONDER MOMS Motherhood is a journey that’s full of challenges and joys. For Ms. Liway Alba, it was a journey that took a bit longer to start due to a high-risk pregnancy at the age of 36. Despite the obstacles, Liway explored unconventional ways, several attempts at becoming a mother and was blessed with two lovely daughters, now ages 11 and 9. Liway has been in the casino industry for almost 30 years. She started in Subic Bay then moved to other countries such as Thailand, South Africa, Laos, Cambodia, Macau and Singapore. She was already with Marina Bay Sands when she decided to have a family. Liway and children went back to the Philippines in 2017 which eventually brought her to Hann Casino Resort as an executive, the new Director of Gaming. Liway’s passion for her job is evident and contagious. She takes pride in her work and her accomplishments. Being a mom never stopped her from pursuing her career goals. Liway is a self-proclaimed Wonder Mom who embraces the role of juggling work and parenting. For her, a Wonder Mom can do multiple things at the same time, from taking care of the house, domestic duties, errands, to attending school activities to managing a male-dominated job. It is a daily balancing act, daily commitment but she handles it with grace. Liway’s mother, who is now 76 years old, is her inspiration and support system. She shares that her mother has always been there for her, providing her with guidance, encouragement, and love. Her mother has also instilled in her the importance of perseverance and hard work, values that she holds dear and would pass on to her own daughters. Liway remains committed to providing her children with all the emotional, physical, and financial support they need. She believes that being a mom is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. She cherishes every moment spent with her family. For her, motherhood is a lifelong journey, and her ultimate desire is to see her children thrive and become independent adults. This Mother’s Day, let’s celebrate Hann Wonder Moms like Liway, who has embraced all the highs and lows; who inspires us to be the best version of ourselves, as parents and as professionals.
MS. CHERYL TIGLAO
EVERY MOM, EVERYWHERE, ALL WONDER MOMS Ms. Cheryl Tiglao is an accomplished professional with over two decades of experience in the casino industry. Cheryl began her career at the age of 21 in one of the casinos in Clark, where she worked from 2002 to 2007. Being young and unstoppable, she decided to go abroad and gain valuable international experience. She worked at various distinguished establishments such as The Venetian in Macau for two years from 2007 to 2009, and Marina Bay Sands in Singapore from 2009 to 2017. Life comes with surprises. In 2017, Cheryl decided to leave Singapore and return to the Philippines with her children due to changes in her company’s direction. Being a capable and seasoned professional that she is, she was then later approached by a friend who encouraged her to apply for a position at the fast-growing Hann Casino Resort, where she now works as a Director of Slot. Her story is one that resonates with many women who are striving to balance their careers and motherhood. As a devoted mother of two boys, now ages 10 and 8, she understands the challenges that come with being a parent while pursuing a successful career. Her strong work ethic and time management skills have enabled her to excel in her roles as a mother and an executive. She believes that being a wonder mom means finding a balance between both worlds and excelling in them simultaneously. One of her most cherished memories as a mother was seeing her newborn baby for the first time. Her ultimate goal as a mom is to raise her children to become responsible and independent individuals who will succeed in all their future endeavors. Her message to all wonder moms is to continue inspiring others and spreading love. She believes it’s essential to engage in activities that bring joy and happiness, even amidst a busy schedule. During her free time, she enjoys being a homebody and embracing the moments of solitude to relax and recharge for a full week ahead. She understands the importance of finding a balance between work and personal life, which is why she takes the time to spend quality moments with her family. Cheryl’s unwavering dedication to both her career and motherhood is a shining example for women everywhere. Her story is a testament to the power of resilience and the remarkable strength of mothers. We are delighted to feature her as a part of our Mother’s Day campaign, celebrating the incredible achievements of women who gracefully balance multiple roles.
MS. MITCHELL ESTACIO
EVERY MOM, EVERYWHERE, ALL WONDER MOMS Hann Resorts’ Mother’s Day Campaign takes a deeper look into the inspiring stories of Wonder Moms within the organization. One such story belongs to Ms. Mitchell Estacio, the Vice President for Finance – Hann Philippines, Inc., whose journey as a mother and executive is a testament to strength, dedication, and the power of a strong support system. At the age of 26, Mitchell experienced the unexpected joy of motherhood when she welcomed her first child into the world. Initially unprepared and without any plans for marriage or starting a family, she embraced the surprise with open arms. The moment she discovered her pregnancy, a shiver of excitement ran through her, and she knew that she was about to embark on an extraordinary journey. When asked to define a Wonder Mom, she emphasized that it is not a one-size-fits-all concept. Every parent’s journey is unique, and being a wonder mom is about making a daily commitment to be present for their children. While she considers herself fortunate to have a supportive partner in her husband and parents who assist in caring for her kids, she recognizes the challenges faced by single parents or those without a reliable support system. She believes that many others are true wonder women and men, navigating parenthood without the same level of support she has been fortunate to have. She looks up to her own mom, who exemplified the qualities of prioritizing her children in all her endeavors. Despite being a career woman herself, her mother consistently balanced work and family responsibilities, a trait that she admires and seeks to emulate. She believes that expressing love and care through simple acts, such as waking up early, saying “I love you” and preparing breakfast, form the foundation of a strong parent-child bond. Reflecting on her own journey, she acknowledges that self-doubt occasionally creeps in, but it is countered by the moments when her children express gratitude and affection. As a mom, her ultimate goal is for her children to be healthy, happy individuals who positively impact others. She believes that success should not be limited to academic achievements but rather measured by their ability to lead fulfilling lives while respecting and uplifting others. Through love letters and constant reminders, she encourages her children to always choose what is right and strive to be a positive influence in the lives of others. She is a proud mother of three children, with her eldest turning 20 and her youngest being 15. Balancing her role as an executive and a mom has been a continuous journey of making choices and being present in all aspects of her life. She believes that true balance is achieved by giving equal importance to every aspect, whether it’s work, family, or personal well-being. Throughout her career, she has held various positions, starting as an associate at Sycip Gorres Velayo and Co. (SGV), the Philippines’ largest and leading professional services firm. After staying less than a year in SGV, her mom helped her secure a job at the Civil Service Commission as the Regional Accountant. Her mom believed that being in a government position would provide stability for the rest of her career. However, she wasn’t happy in that role. After 3 years, she decided to resign from Civil Service Commission. Her next stop Luen Thai Holdings, Inc., a multi-national company based in Hong Kong, where she met her husband. She then worked at one of the resorts in Clark for five years before joining Lewis & Saunders Asia where she stayed for one year and eventually found her way to Hann Philippines, Inc. Over her 12 years with the company, she has grown both professionally and personally, embracing the challenges and opportunities that have come her way. During her free time, she engages in various activities that bring her joy and relaxation. One of her favorite pastimes is reading books. To make it more cost-effective, she has a Kindle subscription, which allows her to access a wide range of books. Additionally, she enjoys crafting and watching movies. While she prefers movies over TV series because they keep her engaged, she often multitasks while watching by cooking or doing household chores. She also finds time for Netflix and takes care of her household laundry. These activities make up her free time, allowing her to unwind and enjoy moments of leisure. She is quite adventurous when it comes to crafts and likes to explore various art forms. Currently, she is into leather crafting, but she has previously delved into paper flower crafts and personalized items. To enhance her crafting skills, she attends several workshops and plans to participate in future learning sessions. It all began when she discovered the Cricut machine in 2020. Before that, she used to spend her free time writing since she has a passion for literature and poetry. While she primarily engages in crafting as a personal hobby and source of fulfillment, she does occasionally sell her creations to friends or acquaintances who express interest in them. If time permits, she accepts orders and fulfills them. However, her Her main motivation for crafting is the joy it brings her rather than focusing solely on commercial aspects. She takes pride in the creative process and the satisfaction of seeing the finished products. In November 2021, she was invited to become a brand ambassador for the Cricut Philippines. Cricut is a renowned brand in the United States and Canada, and it made its way to the Philippines in 2020. As the brand was relatively new in the country, she joined the local crafting community and shared her knowledge and experiences. Despite not being an avid user of Facebook, she found it fulfilling to connect with fellow crafters and enthusiasts, offering guidance and support through Zoom sessions or private messages. This journey led her to become one of the influencers in the crafting community, promoting the capabilities of the Cricut machines and inspiring others to explore their creativity. Crafting provides Mitch with a sense of instant accomplishment and relaxation. It serves as an outlet for her emotions and allows her to calm her mind, even amidst busy schedules and daily pressures. The creative process itself, whether it’s working with leather or exploring different crafting techniques, helps her maintain a sense of balance and tranquility. Moreover, the opportunity to interact with fellow crafters and inspire them has been immensely fulfilling. Witnessing their growth and seeing them start their own small businesses based on what they have learned fills her with a sense of pride and purpose. It reminds her of the impact she can have on others by sharing her knowledge and passions. For Mitch, her crafting hobby and her professional life are closely intertwined. She believes that enriching people’s lives is not just a career goal but a life goal. Crafting has been enriching and her opportunity to enrich others. Mitch firmly believes that it’s crucial for working moms to make time for themselves and engage in activities that bring them fulfillment. Whether it’s singing, painting, or trying something new that they’ve always wanted to do, finding moments for self-expression and personal growth can have a profound impact on their overall well-being. It is through these experiences that they can continue to discover their own abilities and expand their horizons. Lastly, she advises all moms not to limit themselves to a singular career or role. Just as she tells her own children, she encourages wonder moms to embrace their multifaceted nature and explore various passions and possibilities. They can be doctors, chefs, athletes, and career-driven individuals while also being devoted parents. The key is to never stop dreaming, never limit oneself to a single path, and continually strive to become more than what society expects them to be. In her eyes, the true wonder of being a woman lies in discovering endless possibilities that one can explore, the many roles that can be embraced, and the constant pursuit of personal growth and fulfillment. By nurturing their own passions, wonder moms can inspire their children to lead lives filled with fun, purpose, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to self-discovery.
MS. AGNES “NEKI” LIWANAG
EVERY MOM, EVERYWHERE, ALL WONDER MOMS In light of Mother’s Day weekend, Hann Resorts recognizes that being a mother goes beyond biological ties. It extends to nurturing, guiding, and supporting individuals in various aspects of life. Meet Ms. Agnes “Neki” Liwanag, the Vice President for Corporate Planning, Development and Compliance at Hann Philippines,Inc. She is a motherly figure in her division even though she is not an actual mom. She considers her team as her children. She takes pleasure in seeing them grow and succeed under her guidance. Most of her team members have been with her for many years since they joined the company during its early days. Through her leadership, she has watched them develop and blossom into capable professionals. “They grew up from the ranks, so they grew up with me,” Neki explains. “I taught them everything I know, my experiences, and I shared everything with them. That’s why they are my children, despite the absence of a biological connection.” The analogy of teaching a child how to walk and guiding them through their teenage years resonates with her. As they matured, they became independent, capable of handling responsibilities without her constant presence. Neki takes pride in their growth and believes that her role as a motherly figure was instrumental in shaping their success. When asked about her most memorable experience with her team, she laughs and jokingly responds, “Aside from scolding them?” She reflects on the stages of their growth from Widus Hotel and Casino to Hann Philippines, Inc. She acknowledges that while she may have a reputation for being firm, her intention has always been to guide and support her team members. She emphasizes that the instances when she had been frustrated were driven by valid reasons. Her team members are aware of this and appreciate her guidance as it contributes to their personal and professional development. She treasures the moments when they demonstrate their understanding and learn from their mistakes. For Neki, a wonder mom is someone who can effectively balance various aspects of life. While acknowledging her own struggles in achieving this balance, she strives to support and give equal treatment to her team members. “A wonder mom is a combination of everything – personal, financial, career growth, emotional, and social aspects,” Neki states. She believes that no wonder mom can be perfect, as imperfections are inherent in every individual. When asked if she considers herself a wonder mom, she modestly admits, “I think so.” She acknowledges that her time is not equally distributed among all her team members but reassures them that she is there whenever they need her the most. Just like a mother with multiple children, she prioritizes her presence based on their individual needs. She values one-on-one interactions and dedicates specific time addressing their concerns. Despite her demanding schedule, she ensures that she is accessible and supportive when her team members require her attention. Neki’s own mother serves as her inspiration for a wonder mom. She admires her mom’s ability to balance a successful career while fulfilling her motherly duties at home. She inherited her mother’s strictness, instilling punctuality and discipline among her team members. She credits her mom for shaping her values and work ethic, which she now brings to her role as the Vice President for Corporate Planning, Development and Compliance. As for her previous jobs and how she ended up at Widus, she had quite a diverse professional journey. Before joining Widus in 2007, she worked as a bank teller. She progressed to become a Regional Administrator for the bank’s Central Luzon Regional Office, where she worked with multiple branches. She spent five years in the banking industry before moving on to a private Korean company, where she served as a marketing supervisor in the field of IT and e-commerce for less than a year. Following her time at her previous job, she had the opportunity to work for Malacañang as Presidential Staff Officer VI, serving under Congressman Renato Diaz, who was the Presidential Assistant for Central Luzon at that time. Upon the conclusion of Congressman Diaz’s term, she found herself in a position of transition as her role was co-terminus with his. It was during this period when she received a call from her former boss, who had already joined Widus. She was intrigued when she met Mr. Han, the Chairman and CEO of Widus for the job interview. The unconventional setting, which was in his villa, made her pause and question whether she should pursue working for him. However, she was impressed with Mr. Han’s vision and big plans, so she decided to give it a try and see where it would lead. She started as a Sales & Marketing Officer for the Time Shares and Service Residences of Widus. Over the years, her role at Hann evolved as the company grew. When her previous boss resigned, she took on additional responsibilities as the Sales & Marketing Manager, overseeing the marketing team and was also assigned to assist Mr. Han’s various administrative requirements. As the company expanded, she embraced new challenges and opportunities. She became the Business Development Manager and Executive Assistant to the President, working on various construction and expansion projects, including obtaining the casino license. She attained the role of Director for Business Development & Executive Assistant to the President in 2015, when she spearheaded the Project and Administrative Department, as well as the Compliance Department. Recognizing her dedication and expertise, she received a promotion in 2016 to Assistant Vice President for Business Development & Executive Assistant to the President, overseeing a broader range of departments including the Executive Office, Project and Admin, Compliance, Audit, and Marketing. Continuing her upward trajectory, in 2017, her position evolved into Assistant Vice President for Corporate Planning and Compliance/Executive Assistant to the President. During this time, she also took on the responsibility of establishing Hann Foundation Inc. (formerly known as Widus Foundation Inc.) for which she is the Executive Director until today. In January of this year, she was promoted to Vice President for Corporate Planning, Development, and Compliance, with the responsibility of overseeing and ensuring the successful completion of Hann’s new luxury development in New Clark City, Tarlac – the Hann Reserve, which also requires her to establish the company’s own Construction Department. Reflecting on her journey, she has been with Hann Philippines Inc. for 16 years, making her the longest-standing employee. She has witnessed and contributed to the company’s growth, from a small team of fewer than 10 people for the entire company, to her own division alone with 60 people, set to expand to more than a hundred within the year. As for balancing being motherly and being a boss or leader, she finds it essential to draw a clear line between the two roles. She believes in letting her team learn from their mistakes and take ownership of their actions, just like a mother would. However, she also maintains the position of a boss or rather a leader, ensuring that objectives are met and that the team operates efficiently. It’s crucial for both parties to understand that any criticism or feedback is about the job and not a personal attack. After addressing an issue, she encourages her team to move forward and let go of any negative feelings. Regarding her career goals as an executive, she is currently contemplating her next steps. She remains open to new opportunities that may arise and continues to seek growth and development in her professional journey. In her free time, she prioritizes spending quality time with her family. In the past, she used to be very sociable and involved in various social groups, such as the Junior Chamber International (JCI) and other organizations. However, as responsibilities increased and time became limited, she shifted her focus to spending more time with her family. She loves to go on vacations or trips with her friends or visit her family in the United States. Traveling allows her to unwind, explore new places, and create lasting memories. When it comes to hobbies, she admits that she has to let go of many of them due to her busy schedule. In the past, she enjoyed playing badminton with friends, but now her hobbies revolve around self-care and relaxation. During her “me time,” she prefers to stay at home, watch shows on Netflix, read a book, or simply focus on personal self-care. Visiting the spa or salon is something she truly enjoys and considers a form of rejuvenation. If there’s any message or life advice, she would like to share with other wonder moms, particularly in a professional context, it would be centered around self-care. While it is essential to focus on your career and achieve your goals, it’s equally important not to neglect your physical and mental well-being. Remember that work will always be there, and stress is inevitable, but compromising your health should never be an option. Take the time to find balance and prioritize self-care, ensuring that your health doesn’t suffer because of work-related stress. Choose your battles wisely and learn to let go of unnecessary stressors. Take conscious efforts to separate work and personal life, allowing yourself the time and space to relax and recharge. At the end of the day, your well-being matters, and it is through a healthy balance that you can truly thrive in both your personal and professional life.

I am readily accessible on-site, via mobile phone, and even my social media accounts, welcoming their messages and comments. Each month, we hold Town Hall Meetings where employees have the opportunity to raise any concerns or questions they may have. We prioritize transparency and honesty in our responses, even if it means delivering a negative answer. However, we ensure that these interactions become engaging and open dialogues by providing explanations for our decisions. While we may not always see eye to eye or share the same perspectives, we foster an environment where we can respectfully agree to disagree and gain a deeper understanding of each other’s viewpoints. By doing so, we cultivate a culture that is respectful of different perspectives and backgrounds. We also build trust, which is essential in all organizations. We also recognize our responsibility to develop the individual as a whole person. One way of doing so is by supporting the mental well-being of our colleagues through discussions on mental health with expert guest speakers. In recognition of the spiritual and emotional aspects of our employees’ lives, we also organize Thanksgiving masses and celebrate personal and company milestones with appreciation posts and tokens. Furthermore, we promote physical health through sports events and games throughout the year. Additionally, we encourage artistic expression and talent through regular contests.

To support this, we actively communicate our company plans and future prospects, enabling employees to envision their growth within our expanding business ventures. We encourage those who genuinely desire to progress and are willing to invest their efforts to seize these opportunities.

We offer talents from Pampanga and neighboring provinces the chance to cultivate a stable and thriving career within an esteemed organization without the need to relocate to the fast-paced environment of the National Capital Region (NCR). Notably, individuals from Metro Manila who seek a more serene lifestyle away from the metropolitan area have also recognized the tremendous potential of working with Hann Resorts.   DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION We strongly uphold the values of diversity, equality, and inclusivity (DEI). We have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination based on factors such as sex, religion, culture, or any other personal inclinations. Our hiring and retention practices are solely focused on assessing individuals based on their character, competence, and commitment. While it is not always possible to achieve 100% attendance for our activities due to operational constraints, we also make it a priority to ensure representation from all departments. This inclusive approach enables employees from diverse backgrounds, departments, and interests to come together, fostering an environment of mutual respect, active listening, and valuable learning opportunities.   THE PRESENT AND FUTURE OF HANN While buzzwords like Quiet Quitting, Well-being, and DEI dominate HR discussions, our focus remains on Purpose. International surveys reveal that today’s workforce values purpose. Employees are more likely to stay with an employer whose purpose aligns with their own and where their contributions are recognized. Here at Hann, we aim to help employees discover their purpose in their careers and personal lives, allowing them to assess if their goals align with our vision. This is achieved through ongoing dialogue and coaching, not limited to HR but embraced by all Hann managers. By investing in our people’s professional lives, fostering positive working relationships, and cultivating lasting personal friendships, we find purpose in being effective people managers. While we cannot generalize individual needs and expectations, we can be certain that the fundamental needs for safety in various aspects, such as financial, physical, and psychological, as well as the desire for genuine relationships, will always be present. Though the forms may evolve, the essence remains unchanged. Therefore, we proactively prepare, adapt, and respond by fostering open communication and cultivating authentic connections. As Hann embarks on its journey, the HR department plays a crucial role in laying a strong foundation by genuinely caring for our employees. As Hann Resorts continues to grow and diversify, our dedication to being an employer of choice sets a benchmark for other organizations in the integrated resort industry. Through our strategies and initiatives, Hann Casino Resort demonstrates that investing in employees and cultivating a positive work culture leads to long-term success just as it had done in its transition from Widus to Hann. As the company prepares for the future, it remains committed to adapting and evolving to meet the changing needs of its workforce.   ABOUT CHRISTI Our AVP for Human Resources, Christi, has always been a family person. The youngest of ten children, she is now a mother to her own brood of three.

Her path was not predetermined, but her passion for Customer Service and connecting with people guided her choices, including her belief that character and commitment determine success, not technical know-how. One of Christi’s most challenging experiences at Hann Casino Resort was during the pre-opening phase when the HR team faced the unique hurdle of opening a casino without any pre-opening experience.

Her approach is democratic and consultative, fostering open dialogues and discussions. At the same time, she upholds strict adherence to policies and deliverables as a sign of Integrity, placing importance on autonomy and transparency within her team. She expects exceptional performance from her team members for the benefit of internal and external stakeholders so that ultimately Hann becomes the ultimate luxury leisure destination.
Philip Torres: Designing the Kapampangan Identity
There is a ball skirt in the atelier of designer Philip Dizon Torres in Angeles City that shows the meticulous work that goes into each of his designs. It’s a long, black skirt that took six months to complete and 10 hands to sew the fabric embellishments and stitch patterns. It’s a stunning piece—feminine, textured, flowing even with the weight of thousands of small embellishments made from folded fabric that look like small flowers. It’s a rare black on black piece because his brand, Pidayit by Philip Torres, is quite literally a colorful patchwork of fabrics and inspiration. The ball skirt is just one of hundreds of pieces hanging on rolling garment racks in the covered area right outside his studio, where he draws his designs and chooses which fabric goes with what, what pattern or color goes with which. Torres created Pidayit more than a decade ago during a time in his life when he was “having a midlife crisis and seeking a deeper purpose” as a designer. He just had to look around in his house to see the tons of fabrics he had accumulated throughout his career and look around his province of Pampanga to find that purpose. Pidayit, a Kapampangan word that means to put or to string together, is Torres’ way of starting a tradition in a province famous for culinary traditions but not for textiles. The designs of Philip Torres, Pidayit, which means to put together. In the south, Iloilo has hablon, derived from the Hiligaynon word that means “habol” or to weave, a textile made from abaca, piña and cotton fibers using a handloom. In the north, Ilocos has inabel, also a handwoven fabric bearing the province’s distinct style and patterns. In Mindanao, there’s t’nalak woven by the Tiboli people of South Cotabato. What about Pampanga? There is no weaving tradition, no textile identity. But there is a tradition of handmade furniture and intricate wood carving. Torres is a proud Kapampangan and with Pidayit he wanted to create a distinctly Kapampangan identity in textile design: made from retaso or pieces of fabric that are as colorful and flamboyant as the people, cut and stitched by hand, and inspired by the province’s produce and its position as the country’s culinary capital. The word pidayit (or pidayit-dayit) was the perfect name because Torres wanted to distill the culture and history of Pampanga into a brand name that best represents its colorful fiestas, cultural traditions, and people working together. “I incorporated the cooking traditions and the produce into my designs,” he says. “They’re happy designs because that’s what the people are, and we use the colors of Pampanga’s fiestas and santacruzan.” Pidayit makes truly one-of-a-kind clothes that are handmade, one clean stitch at a time. First he does the design by combining color blocks and patterns, then he chooses the accessories for the fabric. Sometimes they cascade like a waterfall on a skirt, a sleeve or the front of a blouse; sometimes they are bunched together to create another pattern on plain fabric. The designer in one of his creations. One of the signature styles of Pidayit is pin cushion-like accessories that are stitched onto the fabric. It’s a labor-intensive process but it’s worth the beautiful results. “The shape of those particular accessories was inspired by the tomato,” Torres says. You find them everywhere—on skirts, trench coats, jackets, blouses, gowns, dresses, terno sleeves, shawls and pants. Torres also uses them in hats, bags, sandals, cellphone cases; and in tapestries and installation art. For the APEC Summit a few years ago, he worked with architect Royal Pineda on an artwork that was installed at the Clark Convention Center. He was also commissioned by Malacañang Palace to create souvenirs for the APEC leaders’ spouses. Torres says, “They had seen my work in a trade fair in Manila (he participates in Arte Fino) so I made Pidayit shawls using silk organza with our signature stitching and texture.”   The Transformative Power of Design When he founded Pidayit, Torres also wanted to push his advocacy for the environment and to create livelihood for the women of Pampanga. To be part of the circular economy is a tall order in the fashion industry. Ruled by consumerism and disposable fashion, the craft of stitching and assembling pieces of fabric is a lost art. While fabric stitching can be deeply meditative and calming, today’s world has given us a sense of urgency for all the wrong reasons. That’s why Torres was very particular in training the 80 women he employs. These stay-at-home moms knew how to sew for sure, but they had never done a skirt that costs P60,000. “The first time I was doing Pidayit, people said, ‘What happened to Philip? Why is he using retaso? Parang laos na siya,’” he says with a laugh. In a country where retaso is mostly made into floor mats, their doubt was understandable but he wasn’t deterred. “I believed from the start that there was value in it. It’s not just for me but for everyone—to give women financial empowerment, to highlight the culture of Pampanga, and to achieve zero waste in what I was doing as a designer.” Philip Torres enjoying the life of art When you look closely at his creations, you can tell that his sewers have the technical skill to wield a needle and thread for a consistent pidayit-dayit. The threads are expertly connected for a textured effect—a reminder that slow, meticulous craftsmanship creates something magical out of nothing: discarded fabrics that are now one whole piece, telling the stories of Pampanga. Many of the stitching styles are simple—cross stitch and running stitch among others—but they make for eye-catching designs. “They’re like the home economics projects from before that I’ve elevated,” Torres says. Inside his studio, he demonstrates the versatility of a shawl accessorized with different sizes of folded and stitched round flowers (as small as they are, you never see the threads that form them). “You can wear this so many ways.” He puts it around his neck for cold season travel; flings one side over his shoulder to complement an evening attire; ties it around his waist for an avant-garde statement. When he’s abroad and wearing a Pidayit shawl or hat, he’s always stopped on the street and asked, “Who are you wearing?” He proudly answers, “I’m wearing me, a Filipino.”   Past and future There’s a reason traditional textiles are unique to their places of birth. Handed down from one generation to the next, they are steeped in the culture and environment in which they were first made. The t’nalak of Mindanao, for instance, is nicknamed “woven dreams” because of the Tiboli people who make it. The abaca they use is stripped, split, dyed, backstrap woven and pounded to create patterns from their ancestors that are so distinctly Tiboli that even outsiders can identify t’nalak immediately. When Torres was tossing the concept of Pidayit in his head, he was also influenced by his environment, but he didn’t have that kind of long-held tradition as the southern weavers to reference. His environment was in his own time. Born and raised in Pampanga, Mt. Arayat and the rolling farmlands and rice fields were his constant views—and yet there was also that totally different side of the province with the American Air Force Base in Clark. “I grew up consuming American PX goods from Dau and Nepo,” he says. The Kapampangan designer happily inspects his designs. There were five Torres siblings born to parents who owned a small restaurant in Angeles City. “My parents were very simple and typical of Kapampangans who love food, fiestas and celebrations.” In decades past, Kapampangans would celebrate fiestas like there was no next year. There were colorful buntings on the streets, fiesta spreads were abundant, friends and strangers were welcomed into people’s houses. This was the culture that Torres grew up in. “You know Kapampangans, they’re mayabang,” he quips. That “yabang” revolved around food—who had the tastier bringhe, the more tender meats, the better kare-kare. “The colors of fiestas, the ingredients like sitaw and kamatis, the happy atmosphere—you find all of these in my Pidayit pieces,” he says. But there was also that western influence by way of the American presence in Clark and fashion magazines. When he was growing up, he says, he wanted to be as famous as Coco Chanel, Dior and Valentino. The designs crosses over the traditional. After high school, Torres enrolled at Slim’s Fashion School for six months, and then at San Sebastian College where he earned his degree in Economics. “After I graduated, I started making ready-to-wear for friends and relatives. After a year, I put up my own atelier called Prét-á-Porter by Philip Torres.” Of the local designers, he looked up to Joe Salazar and Christian Espiritu who were big names in Filipiana fashion and wedding gowns. “After celebrating my 25th years in the business back in 2010, I realized I wanted my own identity. How could I compete with other designers here and abroad? I think stepping out of my usual design and creating fashion out of retaso was the boldest decision I ever made,” he says. On his future plans, he says he’s working on showing his Pidayit collections in Milan and Japan. At its core, Pidayit is more than just joining pieces of fabric together. It’s Philip Torres’ expression of love for Pampanga and to tell its stories to the world.
Capt. Joy Roa: Master of the Skies
He’s flown around the world twice on a small airplane, almost got stuck on a deserted island, flown hot air balloons and got an entire country enthusiastic about it, landed helicopters and planes on the most beautiful island resorts around the world, and bought and sold private jets. Meet Capt. Jose Mari “Joy” Roa, the ultimate aviator whose love affair with flying has spread to countless people, whether it’s by witnessing colorful hot air balloons lift to the skies for the past 23 years, or buying private jets and helicopters on their behalf. For Joy Roa, even the sky’s not the limit. His spirit for adventure has driven him to new and greater heights—quite literally—for almost five decades since he got his pilot’s license in 1978. But before he flew the skies, he was flying on the ground. The son of a doctor and a teacher, Roa grew up riding horses and motorcycles. But his spirit for adventure was soon looking for other things. “It was starting to get boring after a while, and I decided I wanted to do something different and I thought flying, being off the ground, was different.” Captain Joy Roa in a Gulfstream G-550 cockpit. One day while he was riding with his friends, he saw a sign that read, “Learn how to fly.” And just like that, he did. He was 20 years old when he started flying school at Manila’s United Air and then in Southern California. “From that point on, I took to the sky like a fledgling raring to flex its wings,” he writes in his autobiography The Joy of Flying. At the time, the rental for a Cesna 150 was P120 per hour. “Not exactly cheap for a guy without a job. But this gave me the motivation to learn the ropes as quickly as possible.” He did his solo flight at Canlubang Airfield and took his written test with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for his private pilot’s license. “It was the first time in my whole life that I had to study seriously,” he says. His first passenger was Bettina “Ting,” Luciano, whom he describes as the only person he could “fool” to escape and take a flight with this newly minted pilot. “I would manage to fool her again to be my wife a few years later after her return from her studies in the States,” he says. For his first charter flight, he flew two sacks of cash to Tapian in Marinduque—the payroll for a mining company (there were no ATMs in the Philippines just yet). There was a bank employee with him on that flight and when they got to Marinduque he requested that Roa fly back to Manila a nun from the convent there. “Of course I agreed—and thank God I did!” The weather was horrible and he had to fly under heavy rain between mountains. By then the young pilot had 90 hours of flying under his belt. Even in those early days, Roa loved the aviation community. He would later make friends with his instructors, fellow pilots and everyone involved in the industry. “Instinctively, I made an effort to explore every place I landed in and to make friends with airport caretakers and local personnel.” Capt. Joy flying in formation with Royal Thai Air Force PC9s and F16 Four years after he got his license, Capt. Roa started a small company called Air Ads in 1982 (its logo had three clouds, one on top of the other). The business was born from what he saw in California where he was training—a small plane towing a banner. “I said, I’m going to do that in the Philippines.” From that initial company of towing ads and signs, it progressed to airplane trade, restoration, parts supply, charter and a small commuter service in the ‘90s called Island Hopper. The airline flew from Manila to Busuanga, Boracay, Amanpulo, Baler and Lubang. Now called Asian Safari Inc., his company runs one of the most trusted aircraft management and FBO (Fixed Base Operations) in the country. It’s also the name of his documentary series on flying and travel where he takes his audiences from the pyramids of Egypt to the royal estates of France, the hangars of commercial airlines, air shows, and plane manufacturers. Originally aired on ABS-CBN’s ANC channel five times a week, the episodes can also be viewed on its own channel on YouTube. Bactrian camel in Mongolia Bringing people back to Clark When Mt. Pinatubo erupted on June 12, 1991, it sent ash clouds 19 kilometers into the atmosphere. It’s a basic law of gravity that what goes up must come down—and what came down devastated Pampanga, destroying crops, entire towns, and carpeting the province and also Zambales in lahar. One of the most affected areas in Pampanga was the US military facility Clark Air Base, which covered 37 square kilometers and an additional military reservation of 600 square kilometers. By 1990 it had a population of 15,000 and one of the largest American military bases outside the US. (Clark had been under the US military since 1903, serving as a strategic base in both World War II and Vietnam War.) In September 1991, the Philippine Senate rejected the renewal of the military bases agreement on a historic 12-11 vote, and Clark and Subic were formally turned over to the Philippine government two months later. The former bases came under the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), the agency that leads the transformation of former military bases and properties into centers of economic growth with the private sector. The air base became Clark Special Economic Zone (now Clark Freeport). Around that time, Capt. Joy Roa was introduced to the International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. He had witnessed how the event drew pilots, balloon enthusiasts and tourists together. “I was in California and a friend said he knew someone who could teach me to fly hot air balloons. I met him and we started flying in Southern California. I did my checkride (practical test for pilots) in Albuquerque, where you can have 500 balloons flying at any one time.” Capt. Joy is always happy sharing aviation experience with everyone thru the balloon fiesta and Asian Air Safari Held every October, Albuquerque’s predictable wind patterns make it an ideal spot for ballooning. The balloons are launched in a 78-acre field or the equivalent of 54 football fields. The international event is held around the world at different times of the year: Quebec, Canada in August; Bristol, England, also in August, is Europe’s largest annual balloon festival; Igualada, Spain in July; Chateau-d’Oex in Switzerland in late January; and Saga, Japan in early November. “The Saga International Balloon Fiesta inspired me on so many levels, and I came back home seriously contemplating how I could replicate the experience in the Philippines,” Roa says. He flew the Philippines’ first registered balloon in Canlubang—a “low and fast” inaugural flight—and tried flying at least every weekend after that. In 1992, he put together a team to participate in Saga. Two years later, in 1994, Capt. Roa helped then Tourism Secretary Mina Gabor to launch the 1st Philippine Balloon Fiesta on January 27 to February 1 in Clark. “Her objective was to give life to Clark after Pinatubo. I was very busy with other things, but she told me, ‘Please do it for your country.’ We called Gen. Romy David, who was then the president of Clark Development Corp. (CDC). They gave me money for the event and I gave them back the change because I was so kuripot. I think we had only a P2 million budget.” At the first fiesta, Roa and his friends in aviation managed to launch about 12 balloons. A good number that they’ve been hitting for the past years is 20 balloons, which he says is the ideal number for the community to really get to know each other. For the past 23 years, the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta has gained a huge following among local and international pilots and enthusiasts. More importantly, it has brought tourism back to the province. “When you go to Clark, you think of a hot air balloon. We bring in 110,000 people over three event days. Let’s say each person spends about P1,500 for the ticket, food, fuel, etc. That’s P165 million that we bring into the community. That alone tells you how high the interest is.” The 24th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta This year, the 24th edition of the annual event is going to be held at New Clark City (NCC), the new development spearheaded by BCDA. NCC is approximately 9,450 hectares in size and located in the towns of Bamban and Capas in Tarlac province. Hann Philippines is investing P9 billion in NCC. Hann Reserve will have the luxury Banyan Tree mountain resort; the mountain golf course by Nicklaus Design targeted to be completed in 2026; the valley course by South Korean pro golfer KJ Choi in 2027; and the river course by Nick Faldo in 2028. “Clark is very lucky it has investors like Hann Resorts putting huge amounts of money here—investors that are building instead of waiting to see what the government will do.” Roa is excited about the new launch pad for the balloons and introducing it to more people. As a balloon pilot, he says, “the thrill is seeing people’s faces because you fly very low. I like seeing them smiling and making them happy.” He describes the community of balloon pilots as “all very nice and down to earth because when they visit a place they want to know about the culture and the people.” He adds with a laugh, “They’re a little bit warmer than the snooty jet owners.” Capt. Joy Roa’s world may be high up in the sky, but he prefers people who are down to earth—and the kind of flying that spreads joy back down to the ground.   The courage to step out of your comfort zone When you ask Capt. Roa about the bold decisions he’s made in his life, he rejects the implied risk-taking in the meaning but rather focuses on the courageous part of the word. “When you’re a pilot, you have to plan everything, you don’t take too many risks. You have to have alternatives and clear-cut options instead of just being brave,” he says. “Courage can be as simple as stepping out of your comfort zone. I have very rich friends who never travel because they’re saving their money for their children; they can’t even enjoy life because they have so many fears. Everybody has their own fears, but I think you live a very happy, exciting and adventurous life when you step out of your comfort zone.” You can say that flying a small jet around the world—twice!—is a bold move, but for him it was really more about the planning. The first time Capt. Roa flew around the world was via the Atlantic Ocean in 2005 and the second time by crossing the Pacific Ocean in 2008. “Crossing the Pacific, you’re westbound, and the jet-stream is headwind. You have limited fuel so the range of a small jet is not huge. We had to stop between Alaska and Russia on a small island that was still part of the US. I had no choice, that was the only place we could land,” he says. There was no proper runway but there was a dirt strip. When he and his co-pilot landed, they saw a very rusty fuel dispenser but nobody was around. “Oh my God, we’re going to be stuck here for the rest of our lives! We were in the middle of nowhere, I was starting to get worried. Then somebody came along bringing a bowser and he said, ‘Do you need fuel?’ Of course we needed fuel!” They were running late to land in Russia and he had to make a call to let the tower know. “When you’re a small airplane, you have to notify everybody. A few hours later, we landed in Petropavlovsk. From Russia we flew to Japan. That was probably the longest we flew, 18 hours in one day.” It’s almost 50 years since he first flew, and his business of buying and selling planes has seen so much success, but the thrill of flying remains: a helicopter because he can land anywhere (especially thrilling when it’s on a yacht); a balloon because he can see, unlike in any other aircraft, how people on the ground smile at the sight of it; and a plane because he can see the world below transforming. “You see the topography changing and political divisions are being drawn as you fly above. And then to be able to land this instrument when there’s snow, fog, rain and wind.” For Capt. Roa, there’s no greater joy than sharing his passion for flying with others, and to inspire the next generation of aviators to reach for the skies and follow their dreams, wherever they may lead.

Hann Resorts, Colliers hold “Talakad” business forum
BCDA Investment Promotions and Marketing Department Vice President Erwin Kenneth Peralta discusses the economic impact following the impending enactment on Senate Bill 2647 and Senate Bill 2898. He said these will “open many doors” for surrounding communities, driving investments and generating employment opportunities. “It has worked in first world countries. It is now being done in Malaysia and Cambodia. We are next. We have to stay ahead,” Peralta said. The Hann Resorts, in cooperation with Colliers (NASDAQ, RSX: CIGI), recently held a business forum dubbed “Talakad: Central Luzon’s Economic Rise” at Clark Marriott Hotel. The event was graced by government officials and representatives from the private sector. Infrastructure developments, that serve key areas outside of Metro Manila, have been critical in stretching progress beyond the National Capital Region (NCR). One of these areas is Central Luzon, where massive real estate developments are taking place, demonstrating the region’s rapidly expanding economy. Colliers Director and Head of Research Joey Roi Bondoc presented an overview of Central Luzon’s macroeconomy and property sector. This was followed by a panel discussion attended by Rodem R. Perez, Assistant Vice President for Business Enhancement of Clark Development Corp. (CDC); Kenneth Peralta, Vice President for Investment Promotions and Marketing of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA); Joseph Pascua Alcazar, President of Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC), and Maricar Bautista, Spokesperson for Business Infrastructure of the Department of Transportation (DOTr). Other executives who graced the event were Agnes “Neki” Liwanag, Vice President for Real Estate and Property Development at Hann Philippines Inc.

Guevara said Pampanga is the heart of Central Luzon, a province ripe for more property development projects. “The significant levels of public infrastructure investment over the past few years coupled with the Luzon Economic Corridor initiative have set the stage for further growth in Central Luzon. This is already evident with regional and national developers launching massive vertical and integrated communities, which will likely further raise the attractiveness of new commercial, residential, industrial and hotel and leisure projects in the region,” he added Author: Charlene A.

Central Luzon attracts more investments, property developments
With a vibrant investment climate, the region is expected to grow with an expanding property sector With major infrastructure projects and a dynamic workforce, Central Luzon will continue attracting more property developments in the region, Colliers Philippines Senior Researcher Joey Bondoc mentioned. At the recent business forum titled “Talakad: Central Luzon’s Economic Rise” held at the Clark Marriott hotel on April 23, Bondoc further discussed the progress and prospects of the region’s property sector. Bondoc cited key infrastructure developments such as the Skyway Stage 3, Central Luzon Link Expressway Phase 1, New Clark International Airport, and NLEX-SLEX Connector, as well as the MRT-7 scheduled to be completed in 2027, the Manila-Clark Railway in 2028, and the New Manila International Airport in 2029 He also acknowledged that the talent and quality of manpower capable of handling outsourcing services in the region continue to entice BPO companies to locate in Bulacan and Pampanga. According to Bondoc, “About 60 percent of the population in Pampanga is from the 15 to 64 age group, which is gainfully employed and definitely contributing to the total economic output of Central Luzon.” “Clark is a preferred destination of all these outsourcing companies,” added Bondoc. “We see a healthy supply of office space that will be completed in Pampanga beyond 2025. An average of 50,500 sqm of office space is set to be completed annually from 2025 to 2027.” Projects in the pipeline at Clark Freeport Zone include Global Gateway Development’s Four West Aeropark Campus and Five West Aeropark Campus projects and Filinvest Land’s 5 Workplus office building. In San Fernando, Megaworld Corporation will put up the Pasudeco Tower 1. In 2024, Pampanga recorded 529,000 total office stock with 130,000 total vacant stock, registering 24.6 percent vacancy. Notable transactions with BPO locators such as Ventra Health, Asurion, Infosys, KMC Solutions in Pampanga, and TaskUs in Bulacan were recorded in the same year. In the residential market, Bondoc noted major developers who located condominium towers in Pampanga, including Rockwell Land, SMDC, Filigree, Megaworld Corporation, and Vista Land, with good take-up rates from 45 to 100 percent. Similar developments were also seen in the vertical projects of key players such as Avida Land, Fiesta Communities Porac, Hausland Development Corporation, Century Properties, Vista Land, Amaia Land, PA Properties & Hankyu Hanshin, and Filinvest Land. They also recorded good take-up rates from 66 to 100 percent, with a 3.1 percent average price increase of house and lot units from 2016 to 2024. The lot-only projects of Avida Land, Filinvest Land, Rockwell Land, Ayala Land Premier, and New Tarlac Realty also gained good take-up rates from 82 to 100 percent, with an average price increase of 7.7 percent in the same period. Bondoc shared that while the 3.1 percent price acceleration in the house and lot segment is relatively slower compared to other regions, he sees the potential for faster price increases, given the connectivity and projects lined up for the region. In particular, he mentioned that these projects feature golf courses, an added value intended to capture the young market. As an example, Bondoc cited the PGA-accredited golf course of Hann Reserve, the upcoming project of Hann Development Corporation. In 2023, the boom in domestic tourism attracted 1.8 million overnight travelers to Pampanga. In 2024, the hotel performance in Clark registered a 70 to 80 percent occupancy, an improvement from 20 to 30 percent in 2020-2021. With the influx of tourists in Clark Freeport Zone and New Clark City, Bondoc forecasted the entry of local and foreign players in the hospitality industry. “So you have the likes of Sofitel Luxury Hotels, Wyndham Garden, Crimson Hotel, Novotel Hotels and Resorts, Banyan Tree, Intercontinental, The Luxury Collection, and Westin Hotels and Resorts that will be expanding their leisure hospitality footprint here in Central Luzon.” In the industrial sector, Bondoc noted that “the (warehouse) vacancy in Central Luzon is manageable at 15 percent. While major companies are already located in Clark Freeport Zone, such as Texas Instruments and Yokohama, the Clark Development Corporation has been very aggressive in attracting new locators, providing new employment opportunities for residents of Central Luzon, and raising the profile of manufacturing locators in this region.” The region’s list of locators includes manufacturers of electric vehicle batteries, safe and steel, semiconductors, tires, fiber cement products, and agro-industrial companies. In 2024, Central Luzon garnered P62 billion of the approved foreign investments. Bondoc also forecasted almost 1,000 hectares of new industry supply this year to 2027, coming from major players such as Filinvest Land, Robinson Land Corporation, Aboitiz Infracapital Corporation, among others.

Government’s infra development program, private sector investment boosting Clark’s growth
Clark, Pampanga—The Build Better More infrastructure development program of the Marcos administration is a perfect complement to the private sector’s aggressive investment initiatives in catapulting Clark into a more progressive economic zone. In the recent Talakad: Central Luzon’s Economic Rise” forum organized by Colliers Philippines in partnership with Hann Resorts held at the Marriott Clark, Joey Roi Bondoc, research director of Colliers Philippines told the audience that the Clark Freeport is expanding its industrial footprint brought by the massive infrastructure projects in Central Luzon. “Central Luzon is the biggest beneficiary of the infrastructure spending by the government,” Bondoc said. The New Manila International Airport, Skyway Stage 3, North Luzon Expressway-South Luzon Expressway connector road and the Manila-Clark Railway are some of the big ticket projects in Central Luzon. “Aside from these infrastructure projects, Central Luzon, particularly Pampanga, is attracting a lot of investors because 60 percent of its population belonging to the 15 to 64 age group is gainfully employed. With a current capacity of 8 million from 4 million prior to its modernization,Clark International Airport Corp. President Joseph Pascua Alcazar said the Clark International Airport is going to be a catalyst to develop a more dynamic retail landscape in the Central Luzon region in the years to come. A key investor Clark Rodem Perez, AVP for Business Enhancement, Clark Development Corp. (CDC), pointed out that the Hann group is a big investor and key contributor to the growth of tourism in Clark City. Furthermore, he said revenues generated not only by the locators and tourists coming in has helped a lot in making Clark Freeport a lucrative investment area. As of 2023, 16 Singaporean firms operate within Clark, contributing a total investment of $139.92 million and employing over 1,600 individuals. These investments span various sectors, and the Philippines is actively looking to further enhance economic ties with Singapore in the Clark region. Kenneth Peralta, vice president for promotions, investment promotions and marketing of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) said transitioning from leasehold to landhold would attract more investors to locate in the special zone. “With the recent approval of Senate Bill 2647 and expected to be implemented in the next session, it will open a lot of opportunities for investments,” Peralta said. Furthermore, he said the lease act up to 99 years passed by Congress could spur investments in economic zones like Clark. “We need more investors, more tax breaks because we have to stay ahead of the competition,” Peralta said. Making a difference in Clark As far as Hann Philippines is concerned, it is undertaking substantial investments, including the $250-million Hann Casino Resort expansion, the Hann Reserve Development featuring multiple luxury hotel brands (Banyan Tree, SO/, Sofitel, Emblems by Accor, and the Hann Reserve Public Park. These developments by Hann Resorts significantly contribute to the investment landscape of Clark Freeport Zone and New Clark City, making it an attractive destination for both local and foreign investors, including those from Singapore. More room for expansion Meanwhile, Hann Philippines Vice President for Real Estate and Property Development Agnes Liwanag said there is more room for expansion in the 21-hectare property, the only integrated luxury resort in Central Luzon. “The opening of the P8 billion 3,588-square-meter Canyon Casino is in response to the huge demand from the gamers. Basically, this is an expansion of the current casino. This would bring more gaming spaces to our guests,” Liwanag told the audience during the forum. Liwanag said the project is currently under construction. Target completion for the first phase is the end of 2025 while phase two of the project is to be completed in the first quarter of 2026. “Hann Philippines Inc. is a significant driver of economic growth in Central Luzon through its portfolio of luxury integrated lifestyle resorts. The established Hann Casino Resort in Clark Freeport Zone generates considerable tourism revenue and employment opportunities. Furthermore, the expansive Hann Reserve in New Clark City is projected to amplify these economic benefits by attracting substantial investment and high-value tourism with its world-class amenities, including championship golf courses, international luxury hotels, a commercial center with a casino, and exclusive residential offerings, all while emphasizing sustainable development principles,” Liwanag pointed out. Finally, Department of Transportation spokesperson for business infrastructure Maricar Bautista said public-private ownership projects, currently numbering 187 in the pipeline. Secretary Vince Dizon said the private sector has the expertise in building the projects. “The key is collaboration,” she said.

Talakad: Central Luzon’s economic rise signals a new growth era
Property Report attended the recently concluded Talakad: Central Luzon’s Economic Rise forum held on April 23, 2025, at the Clark Marriott Hotel. The event brought together thought leaders, government officials, and property sector stakeholders, all pointing to a shared conclusion: this once predominantly agricultural region is rapidly transforming into a formidable economic powerhouse. Organized by Hann Resorts in partnership with Colliers Philippines, the event featured a comprehensive presentation by Joey Roi Bondoc, Director of Research for Colliers. Drawing from the firm’s latest research, Bondoc made a compelling case: Central Luzon is no longer on the sidelines—it’s now at the forefront of the country’s development agenda. Accelerating growth through infrastructure and strategy “Infrastructure developments that serve key areas outside of Metro Manila have been critical in stretching progress beyond the National Capital Region,” Bondoc emphasized. Nowhere is this more evident than in Central Luzon, which posted a 6.1% GDP growth in 2023—well above the national average of 5.5%. Construction activity in the region also rose by 7.3%, reflecting the growing demand for both public infrastructure and private sector-driven development. Major infrastructure projects such as the North–South Commuter Railway, Manila–Clark Railway, MRT-7, and the New Manila International Airport in Bulacan are reshaping the region’s accessibility. Once fully operational, these initiatives will establish Central Luzon as a vital logistical and economic corridor linking Northern and Southern Luzon. Representatives from Clark Development Corporation and the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA)—namely Mr. Rodem R. Perez and Mr. Kenneth Peralta—affirmed how these connectivity improvements are encouraging more businesses to set up shop in the region. “Pampanga is the pulsating heart of Central Luzon, a province ripe for more property development,” said Colliers Senior Director Julius Guevara. “The significant levels of public infrastructure investment in recent years, coupled with the Luzon Economic Corridor initiative, have created fertile ground for further growth. We’re already seeing this in the form of massive vertical and integrated community developments launched by both regional and national developers.” That progress extends to provinces like Bulacan and Tarlac, where residential and lot-only developments are in steady demand. According to Colliers, average residential lot prices in Central Luzon have appreciated at a compound annual growth rate of 8.7% from 2016 to 2024—demonstrating sustained buyer confidence and long-term investment value. A hotspot for investment and industry Central Luzon’s real estate market is rapidly evolving in response to this infrastructure-led boom. From residential subdivisions and vertical villages to industrial parks and branded hotels, the transformation is sweeping. Colliers forecasts that nearly 1,000 hectares of new industrial space will enter the market between 2025 and 2027, with Pampanga, Bulacan, Bataan, and Tarlac attracting manufacturers in key industries such as semiconductors, electric vehicle batteries, and agro-industrial products. The office sector is also gaining momentum, particularly in Clark. “We expect an average of 50,500 square meters of new office supply annually through 2027,” Bondoc shared. This trend is being driven by traditional firms and BPOs alike, seeking to decongest Metro Manila while tapping into Central Luzon’s young, educated workforce. A lifestyle transformation underway One of the event’s most compelling moments came from Ms. Agnes “Neki” Liwanag, Vice President for Real Estate and Property Development at Hann Philippines Inc. Speaking from both a professional and personal standpoint, she outlined how Central Luzon’s transformation mirrors the evolution of their company. “Hann Philippines Inc. is a significant driver of economic growth in Central Luzon through its portfolio of luxury integrated lifestyle resorts,” she shared. “The established Hann Casino Resort in the Clark Freeport Zone generates considerable tourism revenue and employment. Meanwhile, the expansive Hann Reserve in New Clark City is set to amplify these benefits by drawing in high-value tourism and investment.” Liwanag described Hann Reserve as a world-class development anchored on sustainability. The project will include PGA-accredited golf courses, luxury hotels, residential communities, and commercial areas—designed to position the region as a premier global destination. This pivot to “bleisure” (business + leisure) is intentional. Rising domestic tourism spending, increasing hotel occupancy, and Central Luzon’s emergence as a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) hub all support this shift. In fact, Colliers reports that hotel occupancy rates in Clark have rebounded to 70–80% in 2024, a dramatic recovery from the pandemic lows of just 20–30%. Ever rising region Central Luzon is no longer just a pass-through region—it’s a destination in its own right. With the right mix of infrastructure, talent, and vision, it is fast becoming a model for regional growth in the Philippines. And as stakeholders continue to talakad—or witness the region’s ascent, what they see is not just potential, but real, sustained momentum that is already reshaping the nation’s future. #PropertyReportFeature #FeaturedStory Author: Pamela Imperial View Official Article at this Link: https://propertyreport.ph/news-and-events/2025/05/16/40175/talakad-central-luzons-economic-rise-signals-a-new-growth-era/

Hann Resorts Clark Pampanga: Bridging Corporate Hustle and Premium Leisure with Upscale F&B Selections
How Hann Resorts Redefines the Midday Hustle in Clark There is a distinct moment in the modern professional’s day when the traditional boundary between work and play completely dissolves. It usually happens just after the final slide of a very important morning presentation has been clicked closed, or right as an inbox begins to fill with afternoon directives. In the past, navigating this transition meant choosing between the deafening quiet of a corporate boardroom or the distracting chaos of an off-site commercial center. Step onto the marble floors of Hann Resorts in the Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga, however, and you immediately discover a venue designed with an entirely different mindset. Here, the traditional boundaries of corporate productivity have been completely reimagined. By seamlessly integrating world-class international hospitality with a carefully curated food and beverage landscape, Hann Resorts has quietly transformed itself into Central Luzon’s premier “bleisure” epicenter—a destination engineered for a new generation of executives, creatives, and global travelers who refuse to split their days between output and enjoyment.   The Strategic Power of Location: Why Clark? Clark is the ideal location because it perfectly balances global accessibility with a rapidly expanding infrastructure that supports both business and leisure. For any major development to thrive, it needs more than just luxury; it requires a foundation of convenience and growth, which is exactly what the Clark Freeport Zone provides to Hann Resorts. Supported by major highways such as the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), the resort sits at the crossroads of the region’s most dynamic economic corridor. This accessibility is planned to increase exponentially with the arrival of the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR), an infrastructure milestone that will link the northern provinces and the capital via a fast, high-capacity rail network.   Business, Dining, and Wellness: The Ultimate Lifestyle at Hann Resorts Visiting the premier Hann Resorts Clark means getting more than just a place to relax and sleep; it means basking in a complete ecosystem where professional goals and personal relaxation co-exist in perfect harmony. By integrating world-class business facilities with high-end leisure, we have created a space where you never have to choose between productivity and pleasure.   Leading the Way in Business and Events Hann Resorts masterfully anchors the Philippine MICE sector across Clark Marriott, Swissôtel Clark, and Widus Hotel by pairing high-tech meeting rooms with a distinct bleisure blueprint. Designed to host everything from elite executive sessions to sweeping international summits, these venues remove the corporate friction from demanding itineraries. Here, when the final presentation closes, guests immediately step into premium relaxation without ever leaving the secure, sophisticated perimeter of the property.   Elite Sports and Hann Resorts Golf Course For the modern executive, the ultimate decompression begins where the manicured turf meets the sky. The championship-level golf courses at Hann Reserve offer more than an exhilarating sporting challenge; they serve as a vast, open-air sanctuary from the corporate grind. Beneath the expansive Clark canopy, strategic thinking shifts, transforming a pristine landscape into the ultimate venue for scenic isolation and mindful recovery.   Wellness and the Hann Resorts Leisure Community Beyond the meetings and the fairways, total renewal awaits. Hann Resorts fosters a sophisticated sanctuary where designer pools, curated retail, and lush, mindful walking paths converge. Here, state-of-the-art spa and fitness centers blur the lines of the fast pace of modern life, ensuring that corporate guests can bask in seamless luxury at every moment.   Hann Resorts Restaurants: Where Gastronomy Meets Commerce At the heart of the destination’s appeal is an exceptional grasp of corporate hospitality. Food has always been the social currency of Pampanga—being the Culinary Capital of the Philippines—but here, that heritage is translated into something more; an asset for business networking. A successful negotiation or a creative breakthrough rarely happens in isolation; it requires an environment that puts the mind at ease while stimulating the senses. Across the complex, more than 15 Hann Resorts Restaurants and bars give professionals access to a plethora of culinary choices tailored to the shifting dynamics of their workday. To bridge work and play seamlessly, the complex features a trio of upscale dining institutions where major business decisions dissolve naturally into premium lifestyle experiences.   1. The Elevated Collaborations at Smoki Moto For high-level executive discussions where impressions are critical, the sleek, panoramic setting of Smoki Moto at the Clark Marriott offers an unmatched setting. Far removed from the predictable atmosphere of standard hotel dining rooms, this venue elevates corporate hosting through a high-end, interactive dining experience like no other. Specializing in premium charcoal-grilled meats, like the Black Angus Beef and a selection of Tomahawk steaks, it provides a dramatic background for sealing partnerships, or just an unconventional pat on the back for a job well done. The combination of premium service, dramatic design, and fine culinary execution turns a simple lunch meeting into a memorable corporate event. When the conversation shifts from contract details to the smoky perfection of a prime cut, the boundary between work and leisure somehow disappears.   2. The Grand Traditions and Prestige at Wu Xing When the objective of a gathering requires scale, prestige, and an environment that commands respect, expect Wu Xing at Clark Marriott to deliver. Renowned for its masterfully prepared Cantonese specialties, the restaurant serves as a premier venue for cross-cultural agreements and celebratory corporate banquets.  The centerpiece of any significant gathering here is the Wood-Roasted Peking Duck, celebrated for its perfectly crisp skin and deeply flavorful meat. On your dining table also are expertly prepared dim sum and delicate, handcrafted dumplings. This dining experience mirrors the patience, tradition, and artistry of the corporate milestones being celebrated—big or small. It is a space where the atmosphere encourages conversations, allowing executives to transition from strict agendas to genuine social connection.   3. The Fast-Paced Refinement at Spice Conversely, not every business day allows for a multi-course, slow-paced dining over lunch hour. When a project team needs to decompress between intense breakout sessions or enjoy a fast, high-quality meal before an afternoon forum, Spice at Swissôtel Clark provides the ideal rhythm.  Designed with a vibrant, high-energy open-kitchen concept, it serves a sharp menu of authentic Asian street food staples. Tour the region and dive into a plethora of Asian favorites like authentic Pad Thai, Japanese Yakitori, or aromatic, rich bowls of Laksa. The lively vibe also encourages spontaneous brainstorming and relaxed team camaraderie, ensuring that short bursts of corporate downtime can also be highly productive yet deeply refreshing.   The Hann Resorts Cafe Ecosystem While signature restaurants anchor formal hosting, the true magic of the work and play philosophy happens within the resort’s unified lounge and cafe ecosystem. These hubs cater to the modern executive who might spend hours drafting a content brief on a laptop before transitioning immediately to a casual networking conversation over single-origin espresso or craft cocktails. In the morning, Urban Coffee serves as a bright, professional sanctuary. Moving past the cramped layout of typical high-street chains, this oasis features soaring ceilings, soft natural light, and space that respects deep focus. Here, the steady clacking of mechanical keyboards blends smoothly with the low hiss of espresso steam. As the daylight fades, After Six Lounge and Cafe initiates the start of decompressing in the evening. Operating as a fluid, hybrid venue, it serves as a relaxed daytime spot to clear out a remaining inbox before softening its lights and music just right after six o’clock. The focus naturally shifts toward exceptional specialty coffee brews and artisanal caffeine creations, with light grazing platters creating the perfect middle ground to decompress without leaving the secure luxury of the resort enclave.   Why Visit Hann Resorts? Visiting Hann Resorts is an opportunity to be part of the most ambitious urban transformation in the Philippines today. As the Clark Freeport Zone and New Clark City evolve into a premier global hub, the resort serves as the anchor for a high-value lifestyle that attracts international travelers, business leaders, and discerning residents alike.   FAQs Are Swissôtel and Hann the same? Swissôtel Clark is one of the premium hotels located within the Hann Resorts complex. While they are part of the same destination, Hann Resorts is the parent brand that encompasses the entire integrated resort, including other hotels and dining outlets.   What are Hann Resorts known for? Hann Resorts is recognized as the first fully integrated resort in the Clark Freeport Zone.
