Through the years, the diverse musical traditions of Southeast Asia have served as a universal
language, fostering cultural exchange and knowledge. Today, this musical legacy is taking on a
new purpose: musicians around the world and from the region are lending their voices to move
people to action around the climate crisis.
One initiative is the Music Declares Emergency (MDE), a movement urging the music industry
to take action on climate change. Supported by artists such as Grammy-award winning singer
Billie Eilish who highlighted her environmental advocacy during one of her Happier Than Ever,
The World Tour concert legs in the Philippines in 2022 by strategically minimizing the
environmental impact of her tour. Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour, powered by
renewable energy and initiatives to reduce carbon footprint, is also expected to go live in the
Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand this 2024.
This goes beyond musical acts. From Thailand’s pioneering Wonderfruit Festival, with its waste
reduction and renewable energy, to Malaysia’s Rainforest World Music Festival, blending
musical traditions with environmental advocacy, more and more concert productions, recording
studios, and festivals are implementing eco-conscious measures. Beyond the stage, the
Philippines is also echoing its commitment to conservation. The Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR) of the Philippines’ “KANTALIKASAN” album celebrates winning

environmental songs, while Lio Beach Fest in Palawan celebrates environmental awareness,
harmonizing vibrant performances and conservation efforts.
Driven by a shared concern for the climate crisis, 13 leading Indonesian musicians also recently
came together to form IKLIM ‘the Indonesian Knowledge, Climate, Arts and Music Lab’. These
artists of various genres such as Endah N Rhesa, Iga Massardi, Navicula Tony Q Rastafara,
and others gathered in Bali earlier this year to gain a deep understanding about the causes of
climate change, what needs to be done to reduce carbon emissions and how music and art can
be powerful tools for climate action. Their collaboration resulted in the ‘sonic/panic’ compilation
album, released under Alarm Records, Indonesia’s first environmentally conscious record label.
The album’s diverse genres unite under a common cause: the urgent call for climate action.
To celebrate the album’s release on major digital platforms, the IKLIM Fest was held in Ubud on
November 4, 2023. This event marked the first climate-conscious festival in Indonesia that
implemented a ‘Reuse Protocol’ by Dietplastik Indonesia to reduce the large amounts of single-
use waste typically generated at music festivals.
Gede Robi, vocalist and guitarist of Navicula, and a driving force behind IKLIM, said “Until now,
there was no collective movement that united Indonesian musicians around the climate crisis.
We are inspired by the global Music Declares Emergency movement, and aspire to encourage
musicians across the Asian region to join us in taking climate action.”
Furthermore, Robi outlined IKLIM’s plans to broaden its reach by collaborating with more
musicians and industry professionals across Indonesia and is currently actively promoting the
joint movement among musicians in the Philippines, Bhutan, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia and
South Korea.
“The ultimate objective,” Robi elaborated, “is to promote sustainability within the music industry.
IKLIM functions as a think-tank for making music more environmentally sustainable. As we
continue to engage with industry stakeholders, our knowledge and experience will grow,
enabling us to develop best practices for reducing the music industry’s carbon emissions. This,
in turn, will empower musicians to play a more active role in both raising awareness and
mitigating the impact of the climate crisis.”

Charting a Path Forward
While challenges persist, which include limited knowledge and access to environmentally
friendly solutions within the music industry, Robi believes that as more musicians and industry
players join this collective effort, more solutions will emerge.
The establishment of Music Declares Emergency Indonesia, the first chapter of the global
movement in Asia is an extension of the global movement that unites musicians, industry
professionals and music lovers, and transcends genres and borders to take a collective stand
around the climate crisis.

As sustainable practices become integrated into Asia’s music industry, musicians in the region
can set a standard for responsible entertainment. “The climate crisis has now taken center
stage for our generation, and the movement’s success hinges on collaboration, especially
among industry stakeholders. We envision that our current efforts will serve as a blueprint for
something much bigger in the future.”

PetPal, a leading innovator in pet care in the Philippines, recently brought together nearly 50
veterinarians from various parts of Metro Manila at their inaugural Vet Night Out at the Mess Hall in
Makati City.
Vets from across the Metro Manila, Laguna, Cavite, and Bulacan, led by Dr. Bernard Baysic, former
President of the Philippine Veterinary Medical Association (PVMA), supported the event in line with the
shared goal of fostering a spirit of collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and camaraderie within the
veterinary community.
The event sought to create a platform for networking, idea exchange, and sharing of industry
updates–with a vision to become a regular gathering among partner vets. It marked a significant
milestone in PetPal’s journey, highlighting the company’s commitment to the veterinary community and
its role in co-creating innovative products and services.
“PetPal has journeyed from humble beginnings to remarkable achievements, thanks to the veterinarians
who believed in us and adapted our innovations just as we were starting out. From small victories to
significant milestones, your pivotal role has been instrumental in our success. As we look forward to
2024, we’re excited about our promising ventures ahead,” said PetPal Founder and Senior Venture
Builder Carlo Flordeliza in his welcome remarks at the event.
Attendees were treated to enriching discussions about the latest trends, best practices, and innovations
in veterinary medicine. This was complemented by PetPal’s showcase of its cutting-edge solutions,
including the Pet Care Super App, eCommerce, and its proprietary EMR platform, establishing an
interconnected ecosystem committed to innovating the pet care industry.
Adding to the night’s festivities were games, giveaways, and a raffle where PetPal generously gave away
a PVMA 2024 3-day Convention Ticket in Bacolod City, inclusive of airfare, and a Hilton Buffet Voucher
to lucky winners.
The event also served as a platform to honor the early adaptors who have played a pivotal role in
PetPal’s success.
Miguel Guerrero, Entrepreneur-in-Residence at PetPal, wrapped up the evening by sharing his visionary
commitment to the future of pet care, underscoring PetPal’s mission to continuously innovate and
support veterinarians in their quest for excellence.
“Only 20% of pet owners in the Philippines seek veterinary care. PetPal is one with you in making pet
healthcare more accessible in the country. Our goal is to aid thousands, if not millions, of pets in the
years ahead while also propelling the veterinary industry forward. Your unwavering support has been

instrumental in making PetPal a trusted companion in pet care. On behalf of the PetPal team, I’m truly
grateful for your partnership and unwavering support.” said Guerrero.
PetPal’s Vet Night Out was a celebration of a year filled with accomplishments and the beginning of a
journey towards a future rich in innovation and a shared commitment to enhancing the lives of pets and
their owners.

Bottega Veneta launches its Lunar New Year campaign, starring actress Shu Qi. Directed by Jess Jing
Zou, The First Sunrise with You celebrates the first sunrise of the year, showing different characters
welcoming the dawn in a variety of panoramic settings.
Under the creative direction of Matthieu Blazy, the film is Bottega Veneta’s fourth collaboration with Jess
Jing Zou. The director was also behind the brand’s Lunar New Year campaign in 2023, Reunion in Motion,
and two Qixi films, Love in Motion and Towards You. With photography by Ken Ngan and a bespoke track
from Sega Bodega, The First Sunrise with You carries forward similar themes of travel and togetherness
while centering on the singular moment of the new year’s dawn.
Shu Qi, who joined Bottega Veneta as a brand ambassador last October, opens the film, stepping out
onto a balcony to admire the sunrise over the Shanghai skyline. A sequence of different groups and
diverse settings follow, showing friends, family members, and romantic partners coming together to
admire the dawn and anticipate the year ahead.
We see one group of friends gathering on a beach, and another riding scooters along a mountain road. A
couple admires the sunrise reflecting off snow-covered mountains while a mother-daughter duo—model
Chen Estelle and her own mother—walks along the riverside by the Museum of Art Pudong in Shanghai.
With its scenes of reunion and range of landscapes and cityscapes, The First Sunrise with You
foregrounds not only the transition from one year to the next and the emotion of new beginnings but
also the journeys we make to spend precious moments with places and people we hold dear.
As characters stroll the waterfront, walk along the shoreline, scooter beneath windmills, climb down rocks
to the beach, and drive along mountain roads, the film captures Bottega Veneta in motion, with a
spotlight on exclusive designs for the Chinese New Year capsule collection. The collection is themed
around the Year of the Dragon, with highlights including Andiamo, Sardine, Orbit sneakers, and a
bespoke Jodie with a dragon-tail handle.
In the Philippines, Bottega Veneta is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., and is located at Greenbelt 4 and
Shangri-La Plaza Mall East Wing. Visit www.ssilife.com.ph or follow @ssilifeph on Instagram for more information.

February 10th, 2024 will herald the next year of the dragon, which KENZO will honor with a creative
tribute through an original collection featuring vibrant, exclusive prints.
THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON
The Chinese zodiac celebrates the dragon in 2024, and KENZO is paying tribute to this mythical creature,
which has symbolized auspiciousness and imperial power since ancient times and is a token of good luck,
leadership, and success. The collection designed for the occasion acts as an homage to this reigning
feature of Chinese culture as well as to the timeless graphic motifs seen throughout KENZO’s creative
history.
THE 2024 LUNAR YEAR COLLECTION OVERVIEW
To honor this new Lunar Year, Artistic Director Nigo has elaborated a complete line of ready-to-wear
pieces for men and women – including gender-neutral styles – embellished with bold, graphic
representations of the dragon in a retro vibe. The symbolic creature of the 2024 Chinese zodiac, as well
as the number “8”, which is considered the luckiest number in China, are playfully applied to denim,
woven, knit, and jersey garments, as well as to accessories.
THE 2024 LUNAR YEAR WARDROBE
For Men, the Year of the Dragon collection is composed of a black water-repellent flight bomber jacket
that features a tiger graphic on the chest, as well as a selvedge denim trucker jacket. They both display
an oversized dragon version on the back, complete with “KENZO PARIS” spelled out. Denim jeans show
the dragon pocket on the back. A special sweater and cardigan with a multicolor dragon graphic on the
chest are also available in black. The jersey line offers a tracksuit with side stripes, sweatshirts, jogging
pants, hoodies, and T-shirts, available in black, white, and iconic Chinese red. They are all bearing the
classic dragon and/or “8 dragon” graphics, or a tiger.
For Women, a bomber jacket is available in red with the “8” dragon graphic on the back and a tiger on
the chest, a line of washed denim trucker jacket, skirt and cropped-fit jeans features a softer colorway of
the dragon, and “KENZO PARIS” lettering. A version of the side-striped tracksuit has also been crafted for
Women – with graphics on the front and back – and the jersey offers T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies,
cardigans, polo dresses, and jogger pants in a combination of black, pink, and traditional red.
YEAR OF THE DRAGON
The gender-neutral part of the collection combines the Ivy League theme dear to KENZO with the Year of
the Dragon graphics of the Men’s and Women’s lines. A ‘souvenir’ jacket, as well as a jumper and
cardigan (with contrasting sleeves), show ribbed cuffs and a selection of vibrant graphics designed in red,
white, and golden yellow. Jersey cardigans, oversized T-shirts, and sweatshirts in black, white, and red
complete the gender-neutral line. Cool, playful accessories complete the collection with a small pouch, a
card holder, a baseball cap, and a keyring, all stamped or embroidered with the Lunar Year dragon
graphics.
The KENZO Lunar Year capsule is available in KENZO APAC stores.

In the Philippines, Kenzo is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., located in Greenbelt 3. Visit www.ssilife.com.ph or

People live better in big houses and in big clothes. I try to contrast; life today is full of contrast. We have to change! I am not interested in the past, except as the road to the future. Give me time and I’ll give you a revolution. I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern. I want people to be afraid of the women I dress.

Mass-market fashion is very modern

I think the idea of mixing luxury and, very now no one wears head-to-toe designer anymore. There has to be a balance between your mental satisfaction and the financial needs of your company. A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.

I never look at other people’s work. I can’t get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it’s just crass. Give me time and I’ll give you a revolution. I can’t get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it’s just crass.

I can design a collection in a day and I always do, cause I’ve always got a load of Italians on my back, moaning that it’s late. Sometimes the simplest things are the most profound.

Luxury will be always around, no matter what happens in the world. There is always the new project, the new opportunity. Attention to detail is of utmost importance when you want to look good. I have a fantastic relationship with money. I use it to buy my freedom.

Clothes can transform your mood and confidence

I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern, very now no one wears head-to-toe designer anymore. I want people to be afraid of the women I dress. Elegance isn’t solely defined by what you wear. Clothes can transform your mood and confidence.

Fashion moves so quickly that, unless you have a strong point of view, you can lose integrity. I like to be real. I don’t like things to be staged or fussy. I think I’d go mad if I didn’t have a place to escape to. You have to stay true to your heritage, that’s what your brand is about.

Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.

Fashion fosters cliches of beauty, but I want to tear them apart. Every day I’m thinking about change. The only way to do something in depth is to work hard. For me, art is about learning. I’ve always tried to push myself technically and to push myself visually. That’s been part of the journey. I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes, where a woman’s personality and sense of self are revealed.
