MSY Tower and 128 Nivel Hills in Focus

January 28 (128) was a very significant date for diamond magnate Carlos Yeung and his wife Mariquita S. Yeung, as the proverbial saying goes… "they were hitting three birds with one stone!"

In the morning of 1-28, Carlos in partnership with Cebuana Lhuillier Group of Companies led by Ambassador Philippe J. Lhuillier, had the ceremonial groundbreaking of their posh and world class P4.9 billion condominium towers located at the former Casino Filipino in Nivel Hills. This is the only one of its kind in Cebu.

Guests of honor during the groundbreaking ceremonies were Manila Mayor Joseph Ejercito Estrada and Asia United Bank Chairman Jack Ng, Assisting them were Jean Henri Lhuillier (representing his father Ambassador Philippe Lhuillier), Vice Chair of MSY Holdings Carlos Yeung; Chairman of MSY Holdings Mariquita Salimbagan Yeung; Senior Adviser to the Chairman PJ Lhuillier's Group Gigi Teves; CEO of Simplex Diam and BOD of DHI Martin Yeung; Angie Lhuillier Miranda; and General Manager of DHI Nestor Ignacio. Cocktails were served after the groundbreaking rites, which was preceded with the blessing and prayer of Msgr. Roberto Alesna.

Then at 11:00 in the morning, MSY Holdings owned by the Yeungs, had the official topping off ceremony of their 16-story commercial building…the MSY Tower I located at the Pescadores Road at the Cebu Business Park. The building occupies 1400 square meters in this prime property. Sumptuous lunch was enjoyed by some hundred guests at the fifth floor of the Tower I. Hosting the two affairs was the versatile Jude Bacalso.

In the afternoon was the baptismal of the Yeungs' second grandchild - Cameron, the second son of Chris and Carla McKowen. Cocktails and dinner reception followed at the Yeungs hilltop manse.
