Homeowners will benefit from an impressive range of world-class facilities, including a wellness center, a Clubhouse complete with a private members-only club, a ladies' club, a kids' club, fine dining and Michelin-star restaurants, a 550-metre promenade, sustainable and organic-focused retail spaces, 24/7 private parking with valet, and a gated community with unique views of the wildlife sanctuary, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Creek Harbor, and Meydan.

By showcasing Keturah Resort at the Blackburn Dubai Property Expo, we have the opportunity to highlight its unique features and present a premium opportunity set to reshape the real estate landscape in the MENA region."

Over $500 million: UAE resident brings some of world's rarest gemstones to town
UAE resident FS, a Sri Lankan-born gem connoisseur, has brought two of the world's largest gemstones — a black star sapphire and a green beryl cat's eye — to the Emirates. Priced at over $500 million (Dh1.8 billion), the rare stones, named The Black Star of Eva and The Eye of Hope, have made their first commercial appearances in the UAE. The record-holder, who requested to remain unnamed, is the second generation in a family with deep roots in Sri Lanka's gem mining and trading industry. His father, now in his 80s, was a well-known gem miner and dealer. The black star sapphire has been in the family's possession since the 1970s, originally discovered in Sri Lanka. The green beryl cat's eye was acquired in 2020 from a local dealer in Madagascar. Following two years of gemological research, analysis, and international certification, the stones were submitted to Guinness World Records for evaluation. In 2024, both were officially recognised as the largest of their kind globally. 'Gemologists estimate their combined value to exceed $500 million, with individual valuations ranging between $100 million to $400 million each, depending on buyer interest and market demand,' said FS, the owner of the two rare diamonds. 'These are not just rare stones; they are unrepeatable. The scientific formation takes millions of years. They are cultural and geological marvels,' said the owner. The Black Star of Eva weighs 3,621.35 carats while The Eye of Hope weighs 854.95 carats. They achieved the Guinness World Records in 2024, and they still hold that record. The previous largest black star sapphire, The Black Star of Queensland from Australia, weighed 733 carats and was valued at over $100 million when sold in 2014. In comparison, The Star of Eva is nearly five times larger, said FS. The stones will likely be showcased through private, invitation-only viewings, with a strong focus on high-net-worth individuals, collectors, and royal families. There is also a possibility of future display at prestigious institutions, such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Private appointments for viewing and potential acquisition can also be arranged through direct contact. When asked why these rare gemstones have been brought here in the UAE, he said, 'Some people see more than just beauty and rarity in these stones — they see identity, heritage, and history. That's why they resonate so strongly here.' He added that the UAE is the hub of gem collectors; therefore, the two stones will get the best recognition in the world in the Emirates.

OVP says proposed P903-M budget for 2026 sufficient to sustain programs
The Office of the Vice President (OVP) asserted that its requested P903 million allocation will be enough to support its ongoing programs—provided there are no reductions. In a press briefing Wednesday, OVP spokesperson Atty. Ruth Castelo said the proposed budget has already been fully allocated to specific programs, including disaster response and livelihood assistance. 'The P903 million budget of the Office of the Vice President is already allocated per program,' Castelo said. She noted that the proposed budget for disaster response operations in 2026 has significantly increased—from P30.25 million to P56.62 million—due to inflation and additional personnel requirements for expanded projects. Aside from disaster relief efforts, the OVP continues to implement its Mag-Negosyo Ta 'Day initiative, a flagship livelihood program that provides support to small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. Castelo said the Mag-Negosyo program is expected to operate on the same budget level as the previous year. While the funding remains unchanged, the OVP maximizes its reach through in-kind donations from private partners. However, Castelo clarified that the OVP does not accept monetary contributions, only goods or equipment directly intended for beneficiaries. 'Kaya sa Magnegosyo, unless diretso na nilang tutulungan yung negosyante na mag-provide ng mga—for example, a hair salon—mag-provide na ng blower or pangkulot ng buhok… depende. Pero the office will not receive cash donations,' she added. Asked about the possibility of budget cuts during the bicameral conference committee, Castelo cautioned that any reduction could hinder the implementation of new programs, although existing initiatives would continue. 'For 2025, we cannot do anything. But we will proceed, we will still pursue the programs that we already have,' she said. Despite scrutiny over its proposed budget, the OVP's Disaster Operations Center (DOC) remains active in areas affected by calamities. From July 14 to August 5, the office conducted 18 relief operations across Quezon City, Pangasinan, Cagayan, Cebu, Negros Occidental, and Zambales—reaching 17,052 families or 82,481 individuals. Most recently, on August 4 and 5, the OVP deployed aid to 1,870 individuals in Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro. More operations are scheduled this week in Malvar, Calaca, Lian, and Laurel in Batangas, targeting at least 2,800 families.
