Molding Everyday Confidence—Inspired by Icons, Designed for You

MOLD Manila promotes subtle, confidence-boosting aesthetic treatments—no scalpels necessary! The focus is on enhancing your natural glow so you feel like you, only refreshed and radiant.

Andrea Brillantes talks about confidence like it’s an inside job—and she’s not wrong. But part of what helps that glow radiate from the inside out? Feeling good about what you see in the mirror. That doesn’t mean changing your face. It means refining it, refreshing it, and taking care of the skin you’re in.

At MOLD Manila, we believe beauty isn’t about chasing perfection—it’s about creating beauty in a way that feels right for you. No scalpels. No drama. Just subtle aesthetic enhancements inspired by the same confidence celebrities are known for—only this time, it’s accessible, local, and powered by heart.

Why More Filipinos Are Saying No to Surgery (and Yes to Skin Care)

We get it. The term “plastic surgery” sounds intense—and often, unnecessary. At MOLD, we believe you can get transformative results without having to go under the knife.

Our non-invasive services target what most of us care about:

➡️ Wrinkles that don’t reflect how youthful we feel inside

➡️ Scars and acne that steal your glow and self-assurance.

➡️ Uneven skin tone that makeup can’t always fix

➡️ Aging skin that just needs a boost, not a full reboot

We’re a derma clinic near you in Quezon City, combining cutting-edge technology with gentle, customized skin care plans. Think less stress, more glow.

Beauty Enhancements that Don’t Look Enhanced

1. Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Smooths out scars, evens skin tone, and brightens dullness with minimal downtime. Whether you’re dealing with leftover acne damage or sun stress, this treatment helps your skin press reset.

2. Botox & Wrinkle Relaxers

Tiny tweaks, big difference. Our wrinkle-reduction injections reduce forehead lines and crow’s feet without freezing your expression. Because you should still look like you.

3. Restylane Dermal Fillers

Subtly enhance your lips, cheeks, or under-eyes. We don’t overfill. We don’t overpromise. Just balanced, natural volume—like you just slept 10 hours straight.

4. Chemical Peels & Exfoliation Therapy

Gentle yet effective exfoliation that peels away old cells and reveals fresh skin. Ideal for facial rejuvenation and a smoother texture.

5. Customized Facials + LED Therapy

We create personalized combinations of facials, masks, LED light, and hydration boosters based on your unique skin type and goals.

6. Body Sculpting Add-ons (Thermage, Ultherapy, Emsculpt)

Yes, we do body too. Whether it’s firming your jawline or contouring your midsection before a big event, we’ve got safe, non-invasive solutions ready for you.

Creating Beauty Beyond Filters

We live in a world of filters, retouching, and curated selfies. But beauty isn’t just about perfect skin—it’s about confidence, health, and authenticity. That’s what we help you build at MOLD Manila.

➡️ Our goal is to help clients:

➡️ Feel good makeup-free

➡️ Love the skin they’re in

➡️ Understand their skin better (not just treat it)

➡️ Take control of their self-care journey

Because confidence hits differently when it’s rooted in real skin care—not camera tricks.

What Makes MOLD Manila Different?

➡️ Board-certified team trained in dermatology and aesthetics

➡️ Transparent pricing (you always know what you're paying for)

➡️ Real consultations (we listen, not just sell)

➡️ Tech used in top beauty clinics—now available at a derma clinic near you

Alsons Power Drives Environmental Sustainability, Empowers Communities in Sarangani

 

preview

As global energy demands surge, the question remains: Can we drive progress without harming the planet? Alsons Power Group believes the answer is clear — it is possible to power with care.

At Alsons Power, growth is never pursued at the expense of the environment. For the Group, sustainability means protecting nature while empowering communities to thrive.

"More than safeguarding the last remaining forests, we at Alsons Power are committed to bringing our forests back to life," says Antonio Miguel B. Alcantara, CEO of Alsons Power.

Through its Maasim-based subsidiaries —Sarangani Energy Corporation (SEC) and Siguil Hydro Power Corporation (SHPC) — Alsons Power is leading the Watershed Enhancement Project (WEP) in partnership with the Conrado & Ladislawa Alcantara Foundation, Inc. (CLAFI).

Restoring the Siguil River Watershed

As part of its commitment to sustainability, Alsons Power launched the WEP in 2018, further strengthening its environmental efforts in Maasim, Sarangani. Focused on revitalizing the Siguil River watershed, WEP is more than an environmental initiative; it is a model of inclusive development. By integrating reforestation, water resource conservation, and biodiversity protection, the program seeks to transform the Siguil River Watershed into a self-sustaining ecosystem.

In celebration of Philippine Environment Month this June, Alsons Power reaffirms its dedication to environmental stewardship. The Group joins the nation in highlighting the importance of protecting the country’s natural resources, especially critical ecosystems like the Siguil River Watershed.

The Siguil River is one of the major river systems in Sarangani Province, playing a vital role in the region’s ecological balance and livelihood. It runs along the boundary between Sarangani and South Cotabato Provinces. It is a key natural resource, supporting agriculture, biodiversity, and livelihood.

Alsons Power’s WEP integrates assisted natural regeneration (ANR) and enrichment planting while promoting agroforestry and Sloping Agricultural Land Technology (SALT). This not only strengthens the environment but also bolsters the local economy. 

Beyond environmental preservation, WEP has also improved the lives of local communities, particularly farmers and Indigenous People (IPs). By empowering them as stewards of the land, the program supports sustainable livelihoods and paves the way for more resilient and inclusive growth.

As of the first quarter of 2025, WEP recorded the planting of 71,523 trees, including 36,337 agroforestry and 35,186 reforestation species, with an impressive 99% survival rate. Partner farmers not only met targets but exceeded them by cultivating and planting seedlings from their own farms, reinforcing community ownership and sustainability.

"Each tree we plant is a step toward a greener future; a testament to Alsons Power’s deep-rooted commitment to sustainability and stewardship," says Alcantara.

With the continuous support from Alsons Power Group's Watershed Enhancement Program, IP farmer Manasan Galante is now reaping the rewards of his perseverance. Along with his fellow partner farmers, he appreciates the program's empowerment, which has enabled them to maximize the competitive market value of their produce.

Empowering Communities, One Seedling at a Time

WEP’s impact goes beyond planting trees; it’s about cultivating knowledge. Since 2018, the program has provided hands-on training to local farmers, improving their coffee farming techniques. From seedling propagation to harvesting, processing, and post-harvest care, the program has equipped farmers with the skills needed to enhance the sustainability and market value of their crops.

“In the past, we planted coffee but didn’t know how to care for it. Most of it would die,” recalls IP farmer Manasan Galante. “Now, our farms are thriving. Alsons Power and CLAFI gave us the knowledge and support we needed. God has truly used your efforts to uplift us here in the mountains.”

This transformation was celebrated at the Coffee Harvest Festival, where 17 partner farms in Sitio Datal Basak yielded 754 kilograms of coffee cherries. Farmers have now mastered advanced techniques, such as drying, dehulling, and sorting green coffee beans (GCBs), producing 241 kilograms of premium ripe coffee cherries in a single season.

A Future Rooted in Care

Alsons Power’s environmental efforts in Maasim is a story of growth not just in trees and harvests, but in hope, resilience, and shared responsibility. From reforestation to sustainable farming, the Group continues to prove that environmental stewardship  and progress can move forward together.

“Powering with Care means taking action, restoring the environment and supporting communities, so we can make a lasting impact today and build a better future for generations to come,” said Alcantara.

Rooted in its brand promise, “We Power with Care,” Alsons Power envisions a future where people, nature, and industry grow in harmony, ensuring a better tomorrow for all.


Part 1: Creativity Tops the List - Office Chatani Reveals Key Traits of Intrapreneurs in Major Japanese Corporations

   

Office Chatani, Inc. (CEO: Masayuki Chatani) has announced the results of a survey they conducted on “intrapreneurs” in large companies, targeting those with over 1,000 employees. These results shed light on the actual state of business creation personnel in these companies.

Background
The world is currently in what has been called the VUCA age, where the business world is rapidly changing and uncertainty is growing. As the market and customers' needs change by the second, companies are expected to respond to these needs with flexibility and innovation. Under these circumstances, business creation is an essential initiative to maintain and strengthen a company’s competitive position. On the other hand, due to the scale of resources and complexity of their decision-making process, managers cannot focus solely on the business environment, but must also face challenges such as rigid internal organization and a risk-averse culture while striving to generate new value. Among them, “intrapreneurs,” or one who creates new businesses while working within an organization, have been attracting attention. Large companies have a strong desire for individuals willing to go against the existing business structure and culture and generate new value within the company. To that end, Office Chatani, Inc. conducted a survey targeting managers within large companies regarding intrapreneurship in such companies.

Survey summary
- Among companies with over 1,000 employees, over half of them have personnel who are considered “intrapreneurs”
- The largest age group for “intrapreneurs” is 40-49
- The top three common skills among intrapreneurs are 1. Creativity and Imagination, 2. Business Strategy Acumen, and 3. Autonomy and Independent Action
- Many companies are working on “supporting internal and external personal networking” for the purpose of developing intrapreneurs
- The most important environmental factor for successful intrapreneurship is considered to be “a corporate culture that is tolerant of new challenges”
- Among companies indicating that they did not have any “intrapreneurs,” over 70% were not taking initiatives to cultivate intrapreneurship in their company
-  Among companies without “intrapreneurs,” many named “providing training and educational opportunities for new business” as an initiative for cultivating intrapreneurship
- Among companies without “intrapreneurs,” the top three challenges or obstacles for cultivating intrapreneurship were said to be 1. “Lack of a role model in the company”, 2. “Lack of internal resources (time, budget, personnel)”, and 3. “Lack of a system or culture to evaluate challenges.”

Survey overview
Period: April 4-15, 2025
Method: Online survey
Target: Managers at companies with over 1,000 employees (men and women from 20s to 60s)
Total surveyed: 107 people
Monitored by: RC Research Data

Among companies with over 1,000 employees, over half of them have personnel who are considered “intrapreneurs”
For the first question, “Do you have any “intrapreneurs” in your company?”, the top responses were “No.” with 46.7%, “Yes, a fixed number.” with 32.7%, and “Yes, we have many.” at 20.6%. Through these responses, it was found that more than half of companies with over 1,000 employees have intrapreneurs.

The largest age group for “intrapreneurs” is 40-49
The next question was “What is the largest age group for intrapreneurs active in your company?” The top two responses were 40-49 (40.4%) and 30-39 (19.3%), so it was found that the most common age group for intrapreneurs was 40-49.

- The top three common skills among intrapreneurs are 1. Creativity and Imagination, 2. Business Strategy Acumen, and 3. Autonomy and Independent Action
Following that, respondents were asked “What are the common traits or skills among intrapreneurs active in your company?” The top responses were “Creativity and Imagination” with 54.4%, “Business Strategy Acumen” with 50.9%, and “Autonomy and Independent Action” with 49.1%. In addition, a number of other options outside the top three exceeded 40%, meaning that a large number of traits and skills are common among intrapreneurs.

- Many companies are working on “supporting internal and external personal networking” for the purpose of developing intrapreneurs
Next, companies that indicated that they have intrapreneurs in their company were asked “How do you develop intrapreneurs at your company?”, with the top answers being “By supporting internal and external personal networking” with 43.9%, “By introducing an internal entrepreneurship system and new business solicitation system” with 42.1%, and “Through mentorship by management and senior employees,” “By participating in external training and seminars,” and “by introducing an evaluation and reward system that encourages proactive challenges” each tied at 38.6%. Based on these results, it was found that many companies are working on “supporting internal and external personal networking” for the purpose of developing intrapreneurs.
