Want To Have An Office In Makati? Make It Possible With Global Hub!

Office space is primary the most important thing that professional and businessmen need in establishing their services. And with the city getting more and more dense, the options left for them would either be a far office that is almost a far as the nearby province, or a expensive office space which requires years of lease. 

I myself loves doing freelance work and sometimes work in coffeeshops and other available spaces but the things that I can do would be so limited and nothing still beats having your own space to do more without compromising costs and time.

That is why I love the concept of offices that you can use for a specific time period which saves you the time and hassle. And with offices going paperless, online and files on cloud services, there is less or no need to bring all those heavy paperwork and what would be more essential is the internet.

EVENTOLOGY: FILA Polo Cup with Fila Skeletoes

SKELE-TOES #WHATTHEHECKISTHAT CAMPAIGN LAUNCH 

AT THE 2012 FILA POLO CUP

All eyes are traditionally fixed on the action when the “sport of kings” is played, but at this year’s edition of the Fila Polo Cup, another feature may be stealing a big chunk of that attention from the field.  Fila will be launching a head-scratchingly unique campaign at the event where fans of the revolutionary Skele-Toes four-toed shoes could stand to win a starring role in a travel & lifestyle documentary.  Just to turn a few extra heads, Skele-Toes will also be on the feet of endorsers and event hosts Tim Yap, Borgy Manotoc, Georgina Wilson, and  Abs Abdelkader.

Since 2003, the Cup has been one of the brightest highlights of the local sports calendar, not just for the action but also for the glitz and glamour.  The 2012 Fila Polo Cup is set to outshine the rest once again with a fun-filled roster - aside from the Skele-Toes #whattheheckisthat campaign launch, there will be performances by the band Articulo, a special Dexter Santos choreographed dance number with styling by Leeroy New, installation art by Denis Lagdameo, and JM Rodriguez will be singing the National Anthem.  Of course, FILA’s first couple Cris and Butch Albert will be gracing the occasion, along with FILA  VP of Advertising Ana Abad Santos.  Butch will again lead his team for the Low Goal Game while Tessa Prieto-Valdes and Cris Albert will do the Ceremonial Toss for the High Goal Game.  Over-all event director is Rem Zamora.

The honorable JunJun Binay, Mayor of Makati,  and Dr. Elenita Binay, wife of Vice President Jojo Binay, will also be gracing the occasion.

“What the heck is that?”

  

This isn’t a question usually heard in Fila-hosted parties, certainly not in the Fila Polo Cup, but the company is anticipating a few raised eyebrows, a bit of head-scratching, and a lot of #whattheheckisthat comments from the crowd with the launch of the unique Skele-Toes campaign.
