EastWest Priority hosted a series of exclusive events titled “Pathways to Prosperity in the Year of the Snake: Economic Outlook and Feng Shui Talk,” celebrating the Lunar New Year and providing valuable insights to its esteemed clients. These gatherings, held in Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, and Pampanga, reflected EastWest’s commitment to connecting with clients in their respective communities.
Expert Guidance and Timely Insights
The Davao leg featured a distinguished panel of experts: Dr. Bernardo M. Villegas, a renowned economist and University of Asia and the Pacific professor, provided valuable insights into the Philippine economy’s prospects under the BBM Administration. Dr. Villegas emphasized the country’s resilience, highlighting robust domestic consumption, strong remittances, and increasing investments as key drivers of growth. He projected a positive economic outlook, emphasizing the country’s demographic dividend and the potential of regional growth, particularly in the Visayas and Mindanao. “With the right policies and continued focus on education, innovation, and regional development,” Dr. Villegas stated, “the Philippines is poised to achieve upper-middle-income status.”
Complementing Dr. Villegas’s economic perspective, Patrick Lim Fernandez, a trusted Feng Shui expert and long-time EastWest partner, offered insights on aligning goals with the energies of the Year of the Wood Snake. Fernandez emphasized the importance of patience, strategic networking, and adaptability. He guided attendees on activating auspicious sectors in their homes and offices, such as the Southeast and North, and incorporating elements like water and the colors green and blue to enhance growth and stability. “Feng Shui provides a lens to understand the flow of opportunities in the year ahead,” Fernandez remarked, “helping individuals create harmony between their plans and the environment.”
