TAGAYTAY, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 October 2026 – Via Appia Tagaytay has been recognized as the Emerging Hotel in Asia 2026 at the prestigious ACES Awards, marking a significant milestone for the Italian-inspired boutique hotel and its growing presence in the region’s hospitality landscape.
Via Appia Tagaytay Hotel was recognised among Emerging Hotels in Asia at ACES Awards 2026 for its distinctive hospitality experience.
The recognition celebrates Via Appia Tagaytay’s distinctive approach to boutique hospitality, bringing together Italian-inspired design, personalized VIP service, meaningful celebrations, and digital innovation to create guest experiences that are elegant, intimate, and memorable.
Inspired by the historic Via Appia Antica, one of ancient Rome’s oldest and most iconic roads, the hotel takes its name from a timeless symbol of journey, connection, and enduring elegance. At Via Appia Tagaytay, that spirit is reimagined as an invitation to pause, connect, celebrate, and create meaningful stories.
At the heart of the property is the question “Quo Vadis?” — Where are you going? For Via Appia, the answer is toward experiences worth remembering.
Whether the journey leads to a wedding, anniversary, romantic escape, family celebration, corporate retreat, or simply a much-needed pause, Via Appia Tagaytay is designed to transform each stay into something personal.
An Italian-Inspired Escape in Tagaytay
Positioned as an Italian Boutique Hotel, Via Appia Tagaytay brings the atmosphere of an Italian escape to one of the Philippines’ most beloved leisure destinations.
The property features 51 rooms, Italian-inspired architecture and landscaped surroundings, intimate spaces, wedding and event venues, an indoor pool, wellness facilities, and a replica of the Domine Quo Vadis Chapel. Its experiences range from Tuscan-inspired weddings and romantic dinners to personalized stays, wellness escapes, family gatherings, and intimate celebrations.
Rather than focusing solely on accommodation, Via Appia Tagaytay is building its identity around experiences designed to be difficult to replicate.
Where Italian Elegance Meets Filipino Hospitality
Via Appia Tagaytay believes that true luxury is not simply about scale or extravagance, it is about being remembered.
Through services such as VIP Butler Service, personalized welcome cards, birthday and anniversary surprises, and a dedicated Event Concierge, the hotel seeks to treat every guest as an individual rather than a room number.
This philosophy is captured in its brand promise: “Experience Italy in the Heart of Tagaytay.” The goal is to combine the charm of an Italian-inspired escape with the warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality that define the Filipino experience.
Hospitality Designed for the Digital Traveler
While rooted in history, Via Appia Tagaytay is equally focused on the future. Its digital guest experience incorporates Digital Check-in, Express Checkout, QR Menus, WhatsApp and Viber Concierge, Digital Butler services, online room selection, electronic registration, mobile payment, and guest messaging.
For Via Appia, technology is not intended to replace hospitality, but to enhance it, giving guests greater convenience while preserving highly personalized service.
A Destination for Love, Celebration and Connection
The property is also developing its position as a destination for life’s most meaningful occasions, from Tuscan-inspired garden weddings, intimate and micro weddings, sunset celebrations,
Catholic weddings, and destination weddings to proposals, anniversaries, honeymoons, babymoons, engagements, and romantic dinners.
It also welcomes families, corporate groups, faith-based organizations, and retreat participants, creating a versatile destination for both intimate milestones and meaningful gatherings.
The ACES 2026 recognition affirms Via Appia Tagaytay’s vision of becoming one of Tagaytay’s preferred boutique destinations for romance, weddings, celebrations, family stays, corporate retreats, and personalized VIP hospitality.
For Via Appia Tagaytay, the journey is only beginning. Quo Vadis? Where are you going? Toward a place where every arrival has a story, every celebration has a setting, and every stay becomes a memory worth taking home.

BEIJING, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On October 18, 2026, the 4th Liangzhu Forum opened in Liangzhu, the sacred site that bears testimony to China’s 5,000‑year‑old civilization. On the same day, Liangzhu and the Origins of World Civilization, a documentary co-produced by Zhejiang Media Group Overseas Center (International Channel) and Russian Digital Television’s “My Planet” Channel, made its global debut. The film launches a cross‑millennia civilizational dialogue through visuals. It airs simultaneously on Zhejiang Media Group Overseas Center (International Channel), its English platform, Russia’s “My Planet” Channel, major global media outlets and the China Blue International Media Matrix.
CCTV+: A Civilizational Dialogue Across 5000 Years — Liangzhu and the Origins of World Civilization, a China‑Russia Co‑produced Documentary, Premieres Globally
In December 2025, during the 6th China‑Russia Media Forum in Beijing, the two sides signed a media cooperation agreement for long‑term collaboration in co‑production, promotion and cultural exchanges. This documentary stands as a signature achievement under this cooperation framework.
Shooting for the film began in Hangzhou last April. The joint Sino‑Russian crew visited iconic cultural sites including the Liangzhu Museum, the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu Ancient City, and the Grand Canal (Hangzhou Section). Combining on‑site cinematography, expert interviews, and archaeological footage, the film captures exquisite jade artifacts from the Fanshan Royal Cemetery, the grand Mojiaoshan palace foundations and the ancient water‑conservancy systems, showcasing Liangzhu’s city layout, jade craftsmanship, water‑management wisdom and rice‑farming culture.
Adopting two‑way perspectives, the film gathers insights from Chinese and Russian scholars including museum directors and young Sinologists. It helps Russian audiences understand China’s millennia‑long civilization from their own cultural context, and lets the world perceive the profound heritage of Chinese civilization.
As an innovative practice for international cultural communication, this production boosts Liangzhu’s global recognition and serves as a vivid footnote for people‑to‑people exchanges in the new era.

LDB Bank Partners with TangChareon (TCR) Group to “Plant a Flag” and Bring a New International Hotel Brand to Luang Prabang. (Photo supplied by Lao Development Bank)
Another important milestone is set to take place in Luang Prabang as Lao Development Bank (LDB), in collaboration with TangChareon (TCR) Group, advances a new project aimed at bringing an international hotel brand to Luang Prabang.
This collaboration is not merely about providing funding to support a project. It also reflects a shared vision between the business sector and the banking sector to build businesses while laying the foundations for future growth.
“Social Growth Integrator” is a concept that reflects TangChareon (TCR) Group’s role as an integrator of social growth, connecting business development with the growth of communities and society through collaboration and valuable, sustainable business partnerships.
The approximately 21,416-square-metre plot of land designated for this new project was purchased by the Group’s Chairman more than 10 years ago, driven by a vision to develop and expand the Group’s hotel business from southern to northern Laos. This collaboration to advance the project therefore marks an important step in turning that vision into reality. The project will be the fourth hotel developed under TCR Group.
A New Milestone for Luang Prabang
The project involves a planned total investment of more than USD 12 million, with the aim of developing an international hotel brand that will expand accommodation options and create new experiences for tourists.
The project concept focuses on combining the brand’s service standards with the charm and identity of Luang Prabang, allowing guests to experience the atmosphere of a World Heritage city alongside the comfort and convenience of their stay.
This development will further strengthen Luang Prabang’s accommodation capacity to welcome tourists and support the long-term growth of Laos’s tourism sector.
LDB: “A Good Friend by Your Side, Sustainable Investment”
For LDB, this collaboration puts the Bank’s positioning into practice through its motto: “A Good Friend by Your Side, Sustainable Investment.”
LDB’s role is therefore not limited to being a “provider of funding.” Instead, the Bank aims to be a long-term strategic partner, ready to think together, plan together, solve problems together, and build growth together. For LDB, providing funding is the starting point, while growing together is the ultimate goal of the partnership.
This “Plant a Flag” collaboration marks an elevation of the sustainable strategic partnership between LDB and TangChareon (TCR) Group. It demonstrates LDB’s commitment to placing strategic partners at the centre of its approach to driving business, providing consultation, and jointly developing the economy, based on mutual benefits and shared, sustainable success.
It also contributes to the nation’s socio-economic development, particularly through job creation and contributions to public revenue.
Nationwide initiative brings thyroid awareness, health education, targeted TSH screening and referral closer to the community, empowering older Malaysians to better understand their thyroid health.
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 October 2026 – Alpro Group today announced a launch on “Together, We Transform 60+”, a community health initiative designed to help ageing Malaysians better understand their health risks, identify potential thyroid dysfunction earlier and receive guidance towards appropriate care.
(From Left: Dr. Cheng Duo-Ying, Deputy Medical Director of Alpro Clinic Group; Pixie Yee, Managing Director, Merck Malaysia and General Manager Healthcare, Merck MYSG)
This programme is supported by Merck Sdn Bhd, formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), focusing on increasing community awareness among older Malaysian adults aged 60 years and above, particularly those living with hypertension and cholesterol conditions. The initiative reflects a shared commitment to bringing preventive healthcare closer to the community, helping individuals recognised potentially overlooked thyroid symptoms and take informed action.
Thyroid hormones play an important role in regulating many functions of the body, including metabolism, energy levels, heart function, muscle function and cognitive wellbeing. However, when thyroid function becomes abnormal, the signs may not always be obvious.
Persistent fatigue, changes in memory or concentration, chronic constipation, muscle aches or unexplained weakness may be attributed to ageing or existing health conditions. While these symptoms do not necessarily indicate a thyroid disorder, persistent or unexplained symptoms may warrant further medical evaluation.
Unmanaged thyroid dysfunction can affect a person’s overall health and quality of life and, depending on the condition, may contribute to complications affecting cardiovascular, metabolic, cognitive and musculoskeletal health. Identifying potential thyroid dysfunction earlier provides an opportunity for at-risk individuals to seek appropriate clinical assessment and management before the condition has a greater impact on their wellbeing.
TSH screening can play an important role in addressing this gap. TSH testing is widely used as an initial indicator of thyroid function and can help identify individuals whose results suggest that further thyroid assessment may be needed.
One of the challenges in thyroid health is not simply access to care but recognising who should be assessed in the first place. An older adult may continue living with subtle symptoms for months or even years without realising that these changes could warrant further investigation. By bringing thyroid awareness and targeted screening into community healthcare settings, the collaboration aims to reach individuals who may otherwise remain undetected.
As part of the initiative, Alpro is supporting screening initiatives at retail outlets to screen individuals with abnormal or borderline screening results to be guided to seek further clinical evaluation for confirmation and appropriate management, creating a structured pathway from awareness to screening and, where necessary, onwards to professional healthcare follow-up.
Through Alpro Group’s community healthcare network, the initiative aims to make that first step more accessible. Individuals can learn about thyroid health, better understand potential warning signs and access initial screening closer to where they live. Importantly, the programme does not end with a screening result. Those who may require further assessment will be guided towards appropriate clinical follow-up.
Insights from the programme will be used to strengthen the screening and referral model, with the aim of progressively expanding thyroid health initiatives across selected Alpro healthcare touchpoints nationwide. By leveraging Alpro Group’s community healthcare reach supported by Merck Sdn Bhd, both organisations aim to develop a practical and scalable approach that can benefit more Malaysians over time.
Dr. Cheng Duo-Ying, Deputy Medical Director of Alpro Clinic Group, said: “For many older adults, symptoms such as tiredness, constipation, reduced concentration or muscle weakness can easily be accepted as part of ageing. The concern is when people continue living with these symptoms without knowing that further assessment may be needed. Through Together, We Transform 60+, we want to make awareness and early screening more accessible within the community, and importantly, ensure that individuals identified as being at risk are guided towards the appropriate next step in their care.”
Pixie Yee, Managing Director, Merck Malaysia and General Manager Healthcare, Merck MYSG, said: “Early detection can make a meaningful difference in thyroid health, but reaching individuals who may not recognise that they are at risk remains an important challenge. Awareness is an important first step in thyroid health, yet many individuals may not recognise symptoms that warrant further attention. Alpro Group’s strong presence within Malaysian communities provides an important platform to increase public understanding of thyroid health. Through this collaboration, we hope to support community education efforts and encourage individuals to seek timely medical assessment when appropriate.
The programme reflects a shared belief that preventive healthcare should not begin only when a condition becomes serious. It should begin in the community by helping people understand their risks, recognise changes in their health and access appropriate assessment at the right time.
