TAKE A BREAK FROM WEARING HIGH HEELS while still looking chic and stylish? Then go for comfortable yet trendy flats by Tomato. Choose from a collection of fashionable, fun and casual footwear—perfect for adding a touch of leisurely yet eye-catching style to whatever look you choose for the day.
“A nice pair of flats is a staple for any woman. It’s comfortable and can be worn with basically anything,” says Karen Espiritu, Tomato marketing manager.
Tomato’s ballet flats, on the other hand, can be form-flattering when paired with skinny jeans, leggings and slim shorts—yet with a little creativity and panache, they can also go well with dresses and skirts. Ballet flats can be flirty and demure, depending on one’s mood for the day.
“Ballet flats used to be for ballerinas only but now these shoes are fashion essentials for many girls. We have flirty, fantastic, and very feminine collection of ballet flats in our stores,” Espiritu relates.
If you’re looking for a fun, sporty look, a pair of casual canvas skimmers from Tomato is for you. These shoes are adorable with capris, shorts and short denim skirts.
Tomato also has peep toe ballet flats that adds excitement to your casual outfit. “Tomato flats are definitely big steals. They are affordable and very versatile so you can use them everyday,” says Espiritu.

MALL-GOERS ENJOYED AN ALL-DAY BASH at the Converse Block Party. The party, inspired by the Fourth of July block parties in the U.S. told the story of the iconic Converse shoe brand: the activities included street games, basketball-skateboard-and-dance exhibitions, graffiti art, spray-painting, musical performances and a raffle for fun and fabulous prizes.

THE CELEBRITY HOOP STARS gave their all during their exhibition game and showed what it means to play hard while remaining good sports.
“The Converse Block Party is a global activity. In fact, Singapore and Vietnam and Australia have already finished their block parties. The activities at our party were chosen as a way of telling the story of Converse. That’s why we have basketball, skating, music, dance and other street activities.
“Converse is the very first shoe brand to be synonymous with basketball. Beginning way back in the 1930s, Converse was the first basketball shoe to land the basketball court and became the standard issue basketball shoes for professional, college and high school teams.
KRUMPINOY are the pioneers of the Krump street dance style–and they owned the crowd during their performance.

“The Converse brand has evolved through the years. From basketball, it became a favorite of skaters. Then when young people adapted street fashion, Converse became a lifestyle brand. That’s why we are known for offering a variety of styles in many vibrant colors and hip designs. Converse comes out with more than 200 new designs every season,” says Kit Santos, Converse Philippines Marketing Manager.
Sports and fashion icon
Converse is a much-loved, long-established leader in casual street-wear. The shoe brand is more than a hundred years old. In the Philippines, it’s been around for about just as long. It’s already more than footwear: it’s already a cultural icon in the U.S. the Philippines and around the world.

That’s why quite a number of participants in the Converse Block Party in MOA were wearing their own Converse shoes. They also checked out the new Converse Fall Collection, which is due for release in retail outlets starting July and through to October.
Basketball, skateboarding
It also happens that the Converse Block Party included activities that Filipinos from all walks of life enjoy. Every community in the Philippines has a basketball court, big or small. That’s why the block party included basketball exhibition games and shooting competitions, as well as other basketball-related contests that give away exciting prizes.
Members of various college basketball teams arrived to give exhibition games. These included De LaSalle, San Sebastian and EAC. There was also a celebrity basketball game featuring Carlos Agassi and other stars.
Besides basketball, skateboarding is also featured in the event. Skaters had the chance to do their own thing during the Open Skate session. They learned old and new skateboarding tricks during a Skate Clinic that was open to all who were interested.
Hiphop and rock
Beatbox Philippines, the countries premier beatbox group, showed off their amazing skills onstage. It was amazing to hear drumbeats, “scratch” sounds and other electronic, synthesized music produced from their mouths and throats.
Then the Philippine All-Stars electrified the crowd with their cool dance moves that brought hip-hop and street dance to a whole new level. They even gave a hip-hop dance clinic to party participants.

Popular bands Gloc 9 with Pointblanc and Callalily played later in the evening, much to the delight of the crowd, and a perfect way to culminate the event.
GIANT CHUCKS – These giant Chuck Taylors were a crowd favorite, with partygoers taking turns posing with them for photos.

These were the revolutionary Bio-Resonance Hair Analysis, the Ole Leaf Extract nutritional supplement and the Amezcua Lifestyle Set. The presentation took place at one of Qplus’ signature Super Saturday events, a gathering attended by industry practitioners and media alike.
Bio-Resonance Hair Analysis is a new wellness concept available from Amezcua Vital Life Center. The state-of-the-art procedure, developed over several decades is a non-invasive procedure that examines trace elements in the hair, enabling training health professionals to determine one’s overall health and nutritional state by examining the cells in one’s hair. Once the levels of toxins, pathogens, food sensitivities and nutritional requirements have been examined, Amezcua staff can then recommend a specifically-tailored regimen to assist the patient on the road to wellness, correcting existing problems and preventing future ones. The Bio-Resonance Hair Analysis is exclusively available at the Amezcua Vital Life Center.
The Amezcua Lifestyle Set consists of three discs; Amezcua EAT, Amezcua DRINK and Amezcua MOVE. Each discs serves a specific dietary purpose, specifically designed to re-energize the user in his daily life.
Ole Olive Leaf Extract is a nutritional supplement with five times the antioxidants potential of Vitamin C. Developed from years of study that began with the isolation of a class of chemical compound called phenols, it has been consistently proven that olive leaf extract contains a wealth of nutrients and vitamins beneficial to the human immune system.
