After three decades, one of Pasig City’s famous landmarks shines again with a new name and renewed facilities.

The Pasig Revolving Tower, then called the Mutya ng Pasig Tower, has opened again last Monday, November 28. Members of various civic and government organizations in the city including the Rotary Club of Mutya ng Pasig are invited to a special tour and dinner by the city council led by Mayor Bobby C. Eusebio, the city’s first lady and former mayor Maribel A. Eusebio, and Vice Mayor Iyo Caruncho Bernardo.

The Tower was built in 1974 during the administration of then Mayor Emiliano Caruncho, which prides itself as a building with a Brutalist architecture (made of solid concrete). The tower’s main feature is its iconic revolving restaurant, but its lack of maintenance during the 1980s led to its closure. It was then during the administration of then Mayor Maribel that a rehabilitation was initiated.

During the dinner, Vice Mayor Bernardo, son of Mayor Caruncho, expressed his gratitude to the forerunners of the tower’s rehabilitation. He also stated that the Revolving Tower is a gift to every Pasigueño.

Aside from the revolving restaurant, the Pasig Revolving Tower will house the Market Administration and Tourism offices, as well as the Museum of Local and Modern Art (MOLMA) and other tenants. Mayor Maribel shared that the revolving restaurant will rotate 15 minutes more from its previous time of one hour thanks to the enhanced mechanisms installed in it.

The officers and members of the Rotary Club of Mutya ng Pasig gathered as they commence its 17th Induction and Handover Ceremonies at Tanghalang Pasigueño in Pasig City last September 30. Among the guests of honor are Past District Governors Marilou Co and Tony Co, and All-Star District Governor Lorenzito "Jojo" Lorenzo with spouse Rowena.

Rotarians Renee Ann Rabulan, Marivic Leaño, Dr. Emehly Sevilla-Castillo and Jay Paul Agonoy are the new members that have been officially inducted to the Club as witnessed by Assistant Governor Dennis Umaly and DG Lorenzo.

Capping off the ceremony is the handover of duties and responsibilities from WCP Marian Claudette Tan to ASP Mitch Ballesteros, followed by the launch of the 100 Honors for Goodness Awards with painter and lupus survivor Nice So as its first awardee.

The first Business Development Forum was successfully held at the PSE Auditorium of the Tektite Tower in Ortigas Center last Friday, September 30. Delegates from the entrepreneur and the academe sectors spared a few hours to listen to the event's resource speakers.


The Forum kicked off with ActionCoach Philippines General Manager Mr. Roberto Dimayuga sharing the benefits of Business Coaching, followed by RBG Philippines CEO Mr. Raymond Lim sharing proven approaches in improving the human capital while sharing bits and pieces of how marketing works.
