ALUMNA IN FOCUS: ROSANNA OCAMPO RODRIGUEZ

ROSANNA OCAMPO RODRIGUEZ…FASHION’S DARLING!

By Ana de Villa Singson

Rosanna burst into the Philippine fashion scene in her mid-20’s…and took it by storm. Eschewing anything basic, her lines are bold, vibrant, vivacious, much like Rosanna herself. Arriving back in Manila after 5 years of fashion design education in Milan’s Instituto Marangoni (it was supposed to be a year and a half…but she fell in love with Milan and stayed that much longer!), she was not just a habitue of the social scene, she dressed many of its most recognizable faces! Now a 15 years fashion veteran, she has launched many raved about collections and collaborations. She has been feted as one of the metro’s most stylish women and featured as a fashion icon in countless magazines and TV networks. Her eponymously named brand has an atelier near her home and a boutique in Rockwell.

HELPING HANDS: DOING GOOD IS OUR BUSINESS!

PROJECT PEARLS

by Marie Young

Project Pearls adopted ‘Helping Land’ a temporary Housing in one of the poorest communities in Tondo. The main source of livelihood of the families is scavenging from garbage and selling recyclable materials. Due to extreme poverty, many families are left with no choice but to eat “pagpag”, which is leftover food from restaurants.

ASSUMPTION FOREVER

By Dr. Ola Regala
Preface by Ana de Villa Singson

“Young people are the roots from which will spring Christian families, and from these families will come others. And, if a new generation comes forth from our teaching, we shall have truly worked for the coming of the reign of Jesus in society.”

AAA COOKING AND BAKING CLUB SESSION:

FRENCH MACARONS…AAA CLUB-BING’S “BAKING WITH CHEF BUDDY TRINIDAD”

by Ana de Villa – Singson

Who doesn’t love a macaron?… those meringue confections cradling infinite selections of fillings: caramel, salted caramel, chocolate, berries, gianduja, buttercream, raspberry, espresso, even savory ones with black and white truffles…their colors are as pretty and as expressive as only small bites of heaven can be!
