BRIA Homes offers contemporary homes in many Laguna developments

BRIA Homes now touts nine developments
 in the booming province of Laguna.

From the majestic Pagsanjan Falls to the enchanting Mt. Makiling, from grand old churches to famed historical sites such as the Rizal Shrine, some of Luzon’s top tourist draws are found in Laguna, a province southeast of Manila. Filipino families head for its hot springs, picturesque lakes, and nature-themed resorts for weekends of fun and relaxation, as do other travelers, locals and foreign guests alike.

However, Laguna’s proximity to the metropolis has allowed it to prosper in terms of business and economy as well. Its commercial hubs such as Laguna Techno Park, and flourishing industries such as Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), marketing, and real estate, have consistently lured professionals seeking opportunities outside the big cities.

American alt-pop artist Sarah Barrios teams up with Filipina singer-songwriter syd hartha on instant bop “All My Sins”

American singer-songwriter Sarah Barrios teams up with award-winning Filipina artist syd hartha on “All My Sins,” an electro-pop jam that sounds firm and assured even when it dips into pulsating minimalism and nostalgic, clubby feel.

According to Sarah, “All My Sins” was written as response to being haunted by a mistake committed in the past. “For me, this song is about thinking through all of the mistakes you've made and asking the question of, ‘Am I a bad person? Or am I just too hard on myself?’ I'm definitely an over thinker and a perfectionist, so sometimes I find myself in this place,” the songstress said.
