Making Milestones in 2025: Forest Lake

You certainly can't stop a bullish run as Forest Lake Development Incorporated made 2025 their biggest year yet by recording a whopping 5.5 Billion in Sales Production. That's a 45 percent jump from the year prior, thanks to the countless Filipino families who have put their trust in them. This stems from their service with compassion, accessible memorial care and dedication of the men and women of Forest Lake according to their CEO Alfred Xerez Burgos. 

Aside from that, they've got a 20 percent revenue growth amounting to 3.26 Billion and a net income of 20 percent sans tax (789 Million), figures they've also been surprised with and gained SEC's trust to expand capital stock (initially 1 Billion, now 4 Billion pesos!). 

This will translate to even more facilities starting with their columbariums, Churches, Parks, and services which makes their Total Memorial care possible in years beyond. This is a milestone they proudly announced, to hopefully touch on their corporation's value. 

To date, they now have 42 memorial parks across the country plus over 41 partner funeral homes in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. These are all peaceful venues of families who want services that are hassle free, compassionate in the most troubling times of their lives. Visit forestlakeparks.com to know more about it.

After Bullying Ordeal: VARGAS' Kid Shows Tough Form in Swim Meet

Proud Mom Yasmine and Dad (multi awarded actor) Alfred Vargas just posted super good news on their socials as their son Cristiano got back on the tank, something he's been looking forward to doing after the bullying ordeal he went through months ago. 

Ms. Yasmine described the time as lost opportunities since their young kid wasn't able to compete in his favorite sport, and they knew how he felt disheartened (at the time), but now surprised how he came back ready, better than ever! 

This was during the recent Milo Swim Competition where he raced with bigger kids at the 9-10 year old event. He was able to improve his previous time in different events, and came back clocking new personal bests, a feat which surprised even those who have been supporting him. They (Mom and Dad) dubbed him as their "Comeback Kid", and proudly saw how the fruits of his labor have all come true. In the meet, he was given the Most Outstanding Swimmer award in his category (Category A), this is also his second one as he won the same thing last year. 

Councilor Alfred and Ms. Yasmine credits Cristiano's new coach Mr. Manny Thruelen who went back from years of retirement just to make sure he gets the needed training for the sport. His previous team and the swim community at that time also showed their support for the kid. They were overjoyed at the sight of people, including his previous coaches Gary and JM who were there and supported him too. 

Here's their post!

They're extremely happy and profess this as the handy work of God, and give all praises to the one above for doing this after the ordeal he went through. Congratulations Cristiano! Mom and Dad will SURELY stay behind you, and continue to LOVE you no matter what! 

PS. Quezon City has programs against bullying together with the Department of Education to make sure there are enough safe and inclusive spaces so please ask about it with your LGU's if you need help!
