Sitting at the intersection of functionality and aesthetics is no easy feat. Yet these Filipina architects and interior designers infuse each creation with uniquely creative and resilient approaches. Whatever project they are working on, they place a deep connection with the Filipino community and the environment at the centre.

found their musical inspiration in the joy of repeatedly performing together. What began with Paolo and Miguel Benjamin pulling the group for early gigs evolved into a deep-seated belief that their bond was “something special.”

Now, together with Poch Barretto, Jam Villanueva, Agnes Reoma, Patricia Lasaten, Toni Muñoz, Andrew de Pano, and Keifer Cabugao, their songs transcend language and borders. Foreign artists scramble to cover their music, and the group has been recognised by international award-winning bodies like the Asia Artist Awards, among many others. “I always love comparing our group to how a perfectly balanced dish is made: so many ingredients and possibilities. But once you have a dish in mind, a good cook knows just how much of each is needed,” de Pano says.

“As cheesy as it sounds, what inspired the band to start making music was the opportunity to perform together again and again,” the band collectively says. “It was the drive to explore what that possibly meant that ultimately led us to start our music journey as a nine-piece band.”

Self-care is one of the cornerstones of Sarah Lahbati ()’s life, woven into her routine. Amid her hectic schedule, she sticks to a healthy diet, proper sleep, and tried-and-tested beauty treatments. Visits to her beloved beauty clinic, The Aivee Clinic (), for solo pampering sessions are a non-negotiable part of her routine.

For women on-the-go who want to look effortlessly stunning like her, she advises to prioritise skin care. Her beauty routine with Aivee Skin products, including the Aivee Lumi Cushion, Lip Kiss, and Lumi Mineral Powder, helps her achieve a polished and confident look. “I find that I don’t need multiple makeup items because, for instance, the Aivee Lumi Cushion serves as an excellent base and contour while also providing skincare benefits, just like the Lip Kiss and Lumi Mineral Powder.”

Feeling confident and empowered in her own skin is important to this actress. “After giving birth, I’ve come to appreciate my body’s ability to create life, and part of that journey included accepting my stretch marks. Embracing them has been a powerful act of self-love and acceptance.” Sarah’s personal beliefs on beauty and wellness strongly resonate with the core values of Aivee. “Just like Aivee, I prioritise thorough beauty and wellness practices that emphasise both inner and outer health.”

Sarah Lahbati ()’s life reads like a script – rich with challenges, triumphs, and heartfelt moments. Her big break came at just 16 years old when she appeared on the 5th season of StarStruck, a popular reality talent show that spotlighted her ethereal beauty, natural acting talent, and multilingual fluency. Captivating audiences, she clinched the show’s coveted title Ultimate Female Survivor, launching her into the limelight.

The Philippine entertainment scene is no stranger to challenges, and Sarah has been no exception. “As a young woman starting in the industry, the biggest challenge for me was the gruelling schedules—working nearly 24 hours and then going straight to another shoot or event the next day,” she shares.

When she revealed her pregnancy in 2012, her career took a dramatic swing that both presented joy and challenges. At the height of her career, she chose to step away from the camera’s lens to focus on her growing family. The news was met with mixed reactions, but Sarah embraced the new chapter with dignity and courage. “Despite any imperfections that may arise, my approach to mothering them remains unchanged, and they feel and understand this deeply,” she reflects. Ultimately, she also had to face a pain in her heart. “My biggest lesson has been that ‘love can end’. Despite the pain, I’ve learnt it’s okay to start again, to believe that love still exists.”
