			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Manna Tahiti welcomed the Year of the Rat by celebrating the first anniversary of their Philippine branch on Feb 21, 2008, wherein they showcased their collection of contemporary jewelry settings framing the signature black Tahitian cultured pearls.</p>
<p>The party was held at the companyâ€™s office located as Esteban Street Legaspi Village Makati City and was attended by VIPâ€™s and other well-known personalities from the corporate industry.</p>
<p>Manna Tahitiâ€™s Makati office not only serves as a showroom for their classic pieces but also allows interested guests to look at their work area where they delicately secure each pearl into fine sterling silver settings. Also on display is their latest creation of multi-colored pearls each set in sterling silver cups fastened by 14K gold clasp which makes a stunning innovation for the Arii Signature Cup Choker. </p>
<p>Makati City is the fashion capital of the Philippines and houses signature brands such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Nine West, DKNY, D&#038;G, Kate Spade and Escada to name a few.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Manna Tahiti Philippines opened its door to the public in February 8, 2007 in joint celebration of the welcoming of the Year of the Pig. The intimate and remarkable event was held at La Cabane Restaurant in Makati City, Philippines and was attended by close friends and relatives.</p>
<p>The half Chinese Stanley Siu, founder and owner of Manna Tahit Pearl Co., believes that the Chinese New Year landmarks the time they have opened, â€œEvery year there on, we will look at Chinese New Year as another chapter to unveil in Manna Tahitiâ€™s historyâ€. The company believes that an expansion is ripe for the company to introduce the black Tahitian pearls to new target markets and the companyâ€™s latest CAD technology combined with Filipinosâ€™ fine skills in pearl craftsmanship is the ideal combination for Manna Tahitiâ€™s success.</p>
<p>Cad Technology allows their designers to have an in-scale view of the jewelry before it goes into production and enables them to craft the jewelry with finely wrought details making Manna Tahitiâ€™s collection stunningly beautiful.</p>
