Metro Office Takeover at Newport World Resorts

Last March 19, METRO visited Newport World Resorts in Pasay City and took over their afternoon where over 300 guests got treated to an unforgettable afternoon of beauty, wellness, and style! The Metro Office Takeover is a series of office visits that cater to real women—sharing with them insider talks that cover tips, tricks, and valuable lessons across beauty, skincare, wellness and stress management, and personal fashion and style. In line with Newport World Resorts' Thrillmaker Appreciation Month, the event blended perfectly well with their lineup of activities, to help strengthen and boost their employees' self-esteem and confidence in the workplace.

Over 300 guests joined the event

Presented by Dove and Unilever Beauty and Wellbeing, the program was filled to the brim with nuggets of wisdom today's women and men absolutely need to hear. Present at the event was a Dove Dermacare Scalp Clinic where guests were able to have their scalp health checked by a doctor, addressing some of the most pressing concerns in hair today, such as hairfall, hair loss, and dandruff.

To perk the guests up, there was PICKUP COFFEE and Audrey's Pastry Boutique which made the perfect pair for the fun afternoon. Iced lattes, classic brewed coffee, and more were available at the PICKUP COFFEE booth, while artisanal pastries like croissants and cupcakes that satisfied everyone's sweet cravings were served by Audrey's Pastry Boutique.

For this leg, we partnered with local beauty brand on the rise Clocheflame who had an interactive beauty booth where guests could get a firsthand experience of their products. We've been fans of Clocheflame for a while now, with the All Around Flush and TLC Spray being on top of our must-have list!

The program started out with host Bea Escudero giving a lively introduction to the series of talks that were about to happen. First up was Metro Editor-in-Chief Geolette Esguerra who gave a talk on 'Style Archetypes'—knowing one's personal style based on classic and current fashion trends. She engaged the crowd by challenging them to find their personal style, based on her talk.

At the end of each talk, quick questions were answered, and the most-awaited part of the afternoon commenced: the raffle draw and the awarding of the day's best dressed ladies! It was heaps of fun, laughter, and learning, and we truly can't wait for the next leg, happening on the 3rd of April!
