LG Makes its Mark in Mindanao


LG Electronics, in keeping with its tradition of giving back to the community, recently paid a visit to The House of Hope in Davao.




The House of Hope Foundation, located inside the Southern Philippines Medical Center compound (SPMC), is a charitable group that provides temporary shelter to children with cancer. SPMC is the only hospital in the whole of Mindanao that offers free cancer treatment to children. Since a large majority of its patients are indigent families with no place to stay while they are undergoing treatment, the House of Hope provides a sanctuary for them.

On March 28, 2019, LG Philippines visited the brave families of the House of Hope. LG brought with them donations in-kind to improve the quality of life of the House of Hope’s residents. This includes over 27,000 various personal care products such as body wash, soap and toothpaste items, 5 43” Full HD TVs, 28 Dual Inverter Airconditioning units, 2 Top Load Washing Machines, and 2 Side by Side Refrigerators. The donations hope to help in making the environment conducive to the children’s recovery. LG Electronics Philippines Managing Director Inkwun Heo led the team that visited the children in Davao. “LG remains committed in creating social impact and being agents for change. These brave children serve as our inspiration. We hope that through our small gesture, we are able to enhance their quality of life”. 



Giving back to the community has always been the heart of LG’s core values. Earlier this month, LG also partnered up with Emcor to conduct a small series of medical missions in Mindanao. Dubbed as #LGFamilyFunDay, these pocket events held in Koronadal in South Cotabato, Digos in Davao, and San Francisco in Butuan, gave out free full physical and optical check-ups to the members of the community during the morning. In the afternoon, special activities were held for children, such as coloring sessions, an LG inflatable castle, and even a dedicated Netflix viewing area, making it a fun-filled family affair that’s not to be missed. 


LG Electronics Philippines managing director Mr. Inkwun Heo officially handed over to Dr. Mae Concepcion Dolendo, program director of House of Hope Foundation the 3 Million worth of LG products in a simple turnover ceremony held in Southern Philippines Medical Center, Davao City.



Red Bull Cliff Diving Champions Embark on Diving Safari in South Africa



MANILA, Philippines – On the lead up to the upcoming Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series – Season 11 kick-off in El Nido, Palawan, World Series Champions Rhiannan Iffland (AUS) and Gary Hunt (GBR) have embarked on a cliff diving safari in South Africa.

The record-breaking duo, Iffland and Hunt, scouted a number of locations that included majestic cataract falls and what is regarded as the greenest canyon on Earth at the Drakensberg escarpment in eastern Mpumalanga, South Africa. Iffland and Hunt found themselves particularly taken by Bourke’s Luck Potholes as an untouched diving spot.

“It was just incredible,” says 3-time Women’s World Series Champion, Rhiannan Iffland. “To come here, to experience the culture, to go on a safari and to dive at this mind-blowing location, it’s something special and it’s really something that I’m going to remember.”





South Africa’s Mpumalanga province is decorated with numerous waterfalls that include the Lisbon and Berlin Falls. The glorious sight of the jade-coloured water basins and cylindrical rock sculptures in Bourke’s Luck Potholes inspired cliff diving’s most decorated athletes to execute free-falls of up to 27m at speeds in excess of 85km/h before the season opener in the Philippines.

“The first high dives of the year are always a little bit nerve-racking,” shares Gary Hunt. “I have enough experience now to not be in a situation where my legs are shaking so much. In previous years it's been really tough, but I am much more confident in myself.”

Although 7-time champion Hunt is the one to catch, the ‘brilliant Brit’ knows it’s all up for grabs this season in the Men’s World Series. “My goal is to keep the title. It was a very close race last year and it was a shaky start so I would love to get off to a very strong start and stamp my foot down on this year’s title.”

For laid-back Rhiannan Iffland, the goal is to be more consistent and build bigger dives all through the season, while enjoying every adventure that comes along the way.



“Each new location is exciting, and it makes cliff diving feel brand new,” says Iffland. “That’s something I really love, to come out into exotic places like this and just explore and really challenge myself as a diver.”

The safari through South Africa was everything Rhiannan Iffland and Gary Hunt needed in order to recharge their senses for the World Series’ 11th season. From diving into the fresh, jade waters of Bourke’s Luck Potholes to tossing coins over their shoulders into the canyon to leave bad luck behind, the champions are more than ready to kick-off the 2019 World Series in El Nido, Palawan!

Robinsons Supermarket, DTI advocate buyers’ welfare with Consumer Corner



Department of Trade and Industry Secretary Ramon Lopez and Robinsons Supermarket Corporation managing director Jody Gadia unveil a Consumer Corner which supports DTI’s endeavors to reinforce consumer rights awareness among the public.



Smart shoppers know how important it is to be meticulous in every purchase they make, from basic needs and household goods, to clothing, electronics, and other commodities. Not only should products and services be priced right, they must be of satisfactory quality and give consumers the best value for their hard-earned peso.

In line with its commitment to protect the welfare of its loyal customers and in celebration of World Consumer Rights Day, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and Robinsons Supermarket launched Consumer Corner at Robinsons Place Manila last March 15, 2019. The corner was unveiled by Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) officials led by Secretary Ramon Lopez, Consumer Protection Group Undersecretary Atty. Ruth Castelo, Consumer Protection and Advocacy Bureau Director IV Domingo Tolentino, and Robinsons Supermarket Managing Director Jody Gadia.

The Consumer Corner provides everyday shoppers with ready access to DTI consumer-related information materials, which can help them to make intelligent purchases, and enable them to assert their rights and exercise their responsibilities as consumers.

It will enable shoppers to become more aware of which products are classified as basic commodities and are therefore subjected to SRPs. They will also learn basic consumer rights, including the right to information, right to make choices, and right to receive compensation. The facility also promotes awareness on DTI programs, as well as contact information for consumer complaints.

“Aside from advocating wellness and a healthy lifestyle among our patrons, Robinsons Supermarket is also about espousing smart shopping, especially among families. Our partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry, through this Consumer Corner, will hopefully go a long way towards providing our customers with relevant and timely information, empowering them to become more informed and responsible shoppers.” said Mr. Jody Gadia, Managing Director of Robinsons Supermarket.o

DTI and Robinsons Supermarket’s Consumer Corner is available in all outlets nationwide. For more information, please visit www.robinsonssupermarket.com.ph or Robinsons Supermarket’s official Facebook page : www.facebook.com/RobSupermarketOfficial.

A Little Goldilocks Goes A Long Way

For the past two years, Goldilocks Foundation and Caritas Manila have been working hand-in-hand to help several communities around the country with their Integrated Nutrition Program. The Program aims to help alleviate the problem of severe malnutrition in children, especially in poor communities. 

The program began in May 2017 and has since grown to a stable outreach that has rehabilitated and improved the lives of hundreds of children. The program lasts 120 days and distributes Vitabread, necessary vitamins and supplements, as well as other donated food items to children, making sure to improve their health and nutrition. 

Not only that, Goldilocks Foundation and Caritas Manila provides the children's families with a Family Development session that focuses on health, nutrition, and livelihood. They also conduct seminars on proper personal hygiene, health tips and other related content so that their community beneficiaries understand the basics of combating malnutrition and protect their children's health. Medical assistance is also provided for free during the entire program.

The Vitabread feeding program recently ended their second phase, and Goldilocks and Caritas Manila are proud to announce that they have increased their beneficiaries in the communities of the Risen Christ Parish and Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Parish, both in Manila. When they started two years ago, they only had over 200 beneficiaries. At the end of their second year, they had a total of 618. The program aims to be able to help even more in the coming years.

Malnutrition is a growing problem here in the Philippines. According to the latest survey from the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the DOST, 31.2% of Filipino children aged 5 to 10 are underweight and malnourished. The 2016 Global Nutrition Report backs this up, ranking the Philippines as one of the countries with the highest number of underweight and severely malnourished children. The Integrated Nutrition Program of Goldilocks Foundation and Caritas Manila is a step forward in helping Filipino children to become healthier and stronger.

This year’s Board of Trustees is led by BBDO Guerrero Chairman and CCO David Guerrero, who has been elected as Chairman, and Seven A.D. CEO Teeny Gonzales, who is now the President of the organization.

“As technology becomes dispensable and is here today and gone tomorrow, great ideas that build businesses will become more and more of a necessity and will be key to making us indispensable. So let us not lose sight of the value that our craft and expertise bring. Because at the end of the day, technological innovation will come and go, but creativity is here to stay. And so are we,” Gonzales said.

These changes are intended to help marketers in the Philippines and around the region to tap into the globally-recognized power of Filipino creativity. The organization further resolves to put “creativity at the heart of everything we do” because of the proven connection between creativity and marketing effectiveness. This is summed up in the theme for the year—’Creativity Means Business.’

“The 4As is for Business - we are dedicated to showing the link between creativity and effectiveness in our awards shows like Agency of the Year Awards, CreativeFest, and Ad Summit. On top of that, we will support more initiatives to make clear the link that shows why our solutions are worth paying for,” Guerrero said.

Programs for the year will revolve around talent development, including hosting qualifying competitions and offering full sponsorships for six of the country’s best young creatives to the Asia Pacific AdFest in Thailand, the Spikes Asia Festival in Singapore, and the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity – the world’s leading creative competition.


The 4As will also inaugurate, through the 4As Creative Guild, the first-ever CreativeFest in Manila, along with the long-standing Kidlat Creative Awards, which has been recognizing creative excellence since 2007. These activities will be led by this year’s Creative Guild President Merlee Jayme (Dentsu Jayme Syfu) with the full support of the 4As.

Other programs include the Aral continuing professional development seminars, which are open to all 4As member agencies. There will also be the 22nd annual Agency of the Year awards to be held in July, the most highly regarded awards event among creative, media and production companies. The organization will also back the annual SportsFest as its way of promoting sportsmanship and healthy competition among advertising and communication professionals.

In addition, the 4As will look at the issues of welfare at work more generally and will advocate for issues affecting the entire marketing industry, especially those concerning regulation, brand safety, and the promotion of values that increase social good in the community.
