Dance for Life
By Mikee dela Cruz

Dancers may look, well, effortless when they do what it is that they do - gliding (at times seemingly flying, even) from a point to another on the dance floor, as if without any form of exertions. But dancing is now considered a sport (of some sort), acknowledging the effort given to it by the dancers - fortunately, just about everyone can dance, as it has now become a way to stay fit.

The Making of a Retirement Haven
Attempting to attract as many retirees to the Philippines as possible, the Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA) grants the Special Resident Retiree’s Visa (SRRV), a special non-immigrant resident visa that provides its holders with multiple-entry and indefinite stay in the Philippines, tax-free incentives and privileges, the right to set up a business in the country, and value-added services and benefits from PRA partner establishments - all anchored in the belief that the Philiipines is, indeed, a tropical haven.

Philippine Spa Industry
The Pampered Path
It is estimated to be globally worth over $250 billion (approximate worth of $254.8 billion in 2007 alone) - an amount that includes $60.3 billion in core spa industry revenues, such as capital investments, spa facilities, education and consulting, associations, and events; and $194 billion in global tourism, hospitality, and real estate “enabled” by the spa industry. Employing approximately 1.2 million peoplein over 71,000 spa facilities worldwide, this industry has become a way to great success.
