Robb Report Philippines and Security Bank Wealth Bring MUSE to the Table

Earlier this month, Robb Report Philippines and Security Bank Wealth welcomed a select group of guests to Gallery by Chele for the launch of MUSE, the publication’s special edition dedicated to women whose ideas and achievements are helping shape their fields.

Opening the evening, Robb Report Philippines’ Chief of Editorial Content Yvette Fernandez spoke about the women featured in the inaugural issue. Among them was entrepreneur Ana de Ocampo, whose work through Wildflour has made a distinct mark on Manila’s dining scene.

“Behind that success is a woman who knows exactly what she wants to create, and who has the determination to make it happen,” she said.

For Security Bank Wealth, the partnership reflects an understanding that success is personal, and that wealth matters most in what it enables.

“Wealth creates opportunities, but its real value lies in the choices it makes possible,” said Ces Lazaro, Security Bank Wealth Relationship Management Team Head. “Our role is to help clients navigate those choices with confidence, whether they are growing a business, preparing the next generation, or pursuing new ambitions.”

The guest list spanned business, diplomacy, and culture. Among those present were Ambassador of the Republic of Singapore to the Philippines Constance See, Jayjay Ocampo, Mia Borromeo, Jonathan Hollands and Reaz del Rosario, George and Coey Lorenzana, and Tina Cuevas. Joining Lazaro from Security Bank Wealth were Patrick Tan, Alexander Chua, and Raya Carrillo.

Chef Chele Gonzalez and his team presented a contemporary Filipino menu grounded in local ingredients and fermentation. Highlights included tuna kinilaw with dayap, mirin, and mango; buro crab with fermented rice and aligue; grouper with tapuey and green caviar; abalone arroz caldo made with Kalinga rice; and WagyuWagyuA Japanese beef breed celebrated for intense marbling that creates a buttery, melt-in-the-mouth texture, graded on a scale where A5 is the highest.

MUSE may have provided the occasion, but the evening’s most compelling idea was one shared by many around the table: that success is not simply about what one has built. It is about having the freedom to decide what comes next.

For Security Bank Wealth, that is where the most important conversations begin.
