History of Space, Time & Cube, Gardenia and Enchanted Kingdom
Space, Time & Cube
In the earliest times, people are always expanding their knowledge, aiming to create
more tools to be time efficient and less tasks difficulties, so improving every
knowledge they have, is the first priority of the early civilization up until now. Genius
inventors, visionaries, and innovators thinkers have preserved this legacy, pushed
the boundaries and reshaping the way we interact with the world.
In 1908, Hermann Minkowski presented a geometric interpretation of special
relativity that fused time and the three spatial dimensions into a single four-
dimensional continuum now known as Minkowski space.
One modern example of this push for innovation can be seen in the development of
immersive art experiences, such as the Space & Time Cube+ museum in the
Philippines. According to the article entitled: “Space & Time Cube+: Philippines' First
Immersive Art Museum at S Maison,” Prepare to step into a new dimension of
creativity and innovation as Space & Time Cube+, the first-ever immersive art
museum in the Philippines, opens its doors at S Maison. This groundbreaking
museum offers a fully immersive art experience that seamlessly blends physical
installations with cutting-edge technology, providing visitors a unique way to explore
the metaverse in the real world. (SM Supermalls, 2024).
Furthermore, according to the article entitled: “First immersive art museum in the
Philippines opens in Pasay mall,” The museum softly opened on June 1 on the
ground floor of S Maison at Conrad in Pasay City. A pioneer museum in metaverse
experience, Space & Time Cube+ was created by a group of top-notch designers,
artists, and a special effects team to bring together the attraction's captivating light
installations, amazing 3D technology and holographic displays, and LED tunnels.

Gardenia
Back then, people used to hunt animals to survive, then learned to grow their own
food, and now in the future, we even make food in laboratories. Food has always
been a big part of life not just for staying alive, but also for bringing people together
and building culture like pass down recipes. In the Philippines, one example of how
food culture has changed is Gardenia. It's a brand that many families now rely on,
and it’s become one of the most popular types of bread in the country. According to
the article entitled "Always Gardenia: A Filipino Favorite Through the Years," with
over 20 years of experience and excellence in modern bread making, Gardenia
Philippines has built a heritage of consistently serving world-class quality bread to
Filipino consumers nationwide. This commitment dates back to 1998, when
Gardenia opened its operations in Laguna. Today, Gardenia Bakeries Philippines,
whose parent company is the Singapore-based QAF Limited, continues to provide
enjoyable bakery products that are within sight, within reach, and within the hearts of
consumers a mission that is highly exemplified by its crown jewel, the Gardenia
Classic White Bread (Always Gardenia: A Filipino Favorite Through the Years, n.d.).
Gardenia Food Industries (Gardenia) is a multinational company that founded in
Malaysia on year 1969 in East Malaysia. Gardenia originally was founded by an
American named Horatio Scy Slocumm, an employee of International Executive
Service Corps.
Fun fact - Did you know that Gardenia bread originated in Singapore not the
Philippines? While many Filipinos proudly believe Gardenia is a homegrown brand,
it was first baked up in Singapore back in 1978. But don’t worry we Filipinos loved it
so much, we made it our own, and today Gardenia is a household name in the
Philippines.
Enchanted Kingdom
Entertainment is what keeps people engage with their surroundings, allowing them to
have fun, and tightening the bond with their families. It creates unforgettable
moments that people could remember for the rest of their lives or rather go on
exciting moments with their partners in parks or theme parks. In the Philippines, one
such place that offers these experiences is Enchanted Kingdom, a popular magical
theme park that has been bringing joy to visitors since it first opened.
According to the article entitled "History of the Enchanted Kingdom," Enchanted
Kingdom first opened to the public on October 19, 1995. It was, and continues to be,
the first and only world-class theme park in the Philippines, as well as one of the
country's most popular amusement parks. It is located in San Lorenzo South, Santa
Rosa, Laguna, and covers a total area of 25 hectares. The owners are Filipino
business couple Mario and Cynthia Mamon, who also founded the theme park. Their
family frequently visited local theme parks like Boom na Boom, Big Bang sa Alabang,
and Fiesta Carnival, inspiring the couple to open their own park. In the early 1990s,
they visited Ocean Park in Hong Kong and attended an amusement conference,
where they were introduced to the International Association of Amusement Parks
and Attractions (IAAPA). They joined the association in 1992 after their first trade
show attendance in Dallas, Texas, realizing the group could help them enter the
amusement park industry. Aside from being the founder and President of Enchanted
Kingdom, Mario Mamon is the first Asian and first Filipino to join the association. The
theme park features over 30 rides and attractions that are both unique to the country
and large in scale. These rides and attractions are divided into seven theme zones
(Nacario, 2025).
