MANILA, Philippines - A roster of promising men and women headline the February issue of Lifestyle Asia. These are the young people to watch as they make headway in their chosen paths. Purpose-driven and fun loving, the scions of captains of industry and leaders in business, finance and the arts have reached various levels of achievement without shortchanging themselves of the privileges of being young.
The issue also includes the example of Antonio de las Alas Jr. and how a promising young man realized his potential. Barely five feet tall, he cast a long shadow through his life and works. Daughter Ching Montinola writes about the discoveries she and her mother Menchu Concepcion uncovered in old boxes that held documents chronicling his contributions to the country. Two other daughters, Janina Dizon-Hoschka and Candy Dizon, also share about their parent, Jul Dizon, and the brilliance her life cast on them.
There are travelogues to Rioja, Spain and to Japan for the latest in skin whitening technology and the Tokyo Motor Show, as well as the latest Cruise Collection of Louis Vuitton. Besides the regular features, the leading luxury magazine in the country also does a brief on the newest bars in the city.
