For many companies, location is essential. You wouldn’t want to set up your office in a place where you know the business won’t thrive. In addition, the area should be able to cater to your employees’ needs and still be accessible to your current and potential partners.

Once a decision has been made as to where the office will be, the next question is whether you’d want to buy or rent an office space—and this question is often not easy to answer, even if your business is already an established one in the industry.

There are both pros and cons to buying and renting, and the answer to which one to choose really depends on multiple factors. Some of these factors include the nature of your business, the industry you’re working on, your current financial capabilities, your property preference and its cost, the number of employees, and the business strategy your choosing to implement, to name a few.

Whether you’re setting up your first office or relocating to a new one, your option should be beneficial for your business. In this infographic, you can read up on the boons and banes of buying and renting office space to help you in weighing your options, as well as the considerations you need to put forth before coming to a decision.

Journey: Art: 50: Part IV: Baybayin (Alibata) by Ivi Avellana-Cosio

Galleria Duemila is proud to present Ivi Avellana-Cosio’s fourth part of her retrospective wherein she will present her in-depth research on the baybayin writing system, coinciding with the new law that has been passed by the House Committee on Basic Education and Culture employing the Baybayin system for the general public’s utilization. The artist’s deep-set interest for culture has manifested its way to her art since the 1970’s.

Named by the International Biographical Society in Cambridge, England as one of the Top 100 artists in 2017 and one of the top professionals in 2012, a resident name in the Philip Morris Philippine Art Awards and ASEAN Art Awards since 1994-1997 and the founding member and the past president of the Philippine Association of Printmakers, Ivi Avellana-Cosio stages her fourth exhibit at Galleria Duemila on May 5 – 29, 2018 in a series of retrospectives to mark her 50 years in creative making.

Her abstractions are compositions of vivid colors and formal elements, reminiscent of the rich culture representative of the various tribes such as the T’boli, Bagobo, Yakan, Talaandig, and B’laan and others. The paintings, a ‘neo-ethnic’ series are a combination of tribal patterns, ornaments and the baybayin, the syllabary commonly, but erroneously known as the ‘alibata’ by which the artist tells the history of common ordinary usage and eventually a genesis of creativity for the indigenous Filipinos, still unmarred by the Hispanic and Christian influences back then. It as a medium of memories, a testament of the past composed in a contemporaneous way.
