In Lifestyle Asia’s December Holiday and Entertaining Issue, we feature our cover personality, Jessica “Jica” Sy, who is thoughtfully expanding her family’s legacy by creating warm and meaningful spaces for Filipino families. She remains rooted in a philosophy that has endured for generations, one that centers on leading with empathy. This guides her work at Susana Heights, the newest luxury residential development under SM Signature, where Jica is one of the driving forces.

This issue also explores the many ways we entertain during the festive season. Ella Pangilinan Miranda welcomes us into her home to share how she hosts, while the women of Sunday Street Co. reveal how they are refreshing Manila’s catering landscape by turning every gathering into an effortlessly delicious Sunday. We round up the most decadent cakes to include on your holiday table, highlight the Filipino Christmas choirs who are the unsung heroes of the season, revisit the relaunch of the iconic food books written by Doreen Fernandez and Edilberto Alegre, and speak to the fourth-generation leaders of Max’s Group to celebrate how they continue to innovate at The House That Fried Chicken Built on its 80th anniversary.
