Take Juan step at a time, here are some simple steps to become a Juan Earth Hero

Philippines is considered rich in natural resources for we have fertile arable lands, high diversity of plants and animals, extensive coastlines, and rich mineral deposits. We must help in keeping the environment to become more clean and green, preserves the generation as the inspiration of mother nature. 

It takes only a few simple steps, the involvement and commitment of the people concerned, and a few adjustments in existing working and management systems to make environmental awareness a habit. 

Be part of the solution not part of the pollution. Start with a single step and make a giant leap in saving Mother Earth. 

Here are the simple steps to become a Juan Earth  eco-warrior: 

Carry your own mug, straw, and spoon and fork everywhere 

Did you know that in the Philippines 6,237,653 kg of plastic are being wasted per day? If plastic production, use, and mismanagement continue, there is a huge possibility that there will be more plastics swimming in the ocean than fish by 2050. So, small actions like bringing your own eco bag, mug, cutlery, and straws can make a widespread global advocacy to reduce plastic waste and save our water resources. 

Be eco-friendly beautiful 

When buying your makeup, perfume, lotion, or other beauty essentials, always choose the products which ingredients are organic rather than those loaded with harmful chemicals. With that, you’ll be more confident that the creams you are applying to your skin are as friendly as to the environment. 

Bring out your DIY skills and get crafty 

Old magazines are stripped to make picture frames, tansan or crown cork are crafted into necklaces, juice tetrapacks are recycled into stylish wallets and bags you can sell, and pet bottles are transformed into ecobricks to build chairs, tables, stairs, or even a house. See? You have not just avoided throwing them in the garbage, but you have converted trash into cash. 

Think twice before buying or using animal products 

Those charming animal keychains from souvenir shops or that luxurious fur coat you wear may look fascinating but take note that these animals are being poached for their skin or being used for scientific research. Aside from the destruction of their natural habitat, killing them in large numbers for commercial use makes these species under the threat of extinction. The question is: would you really want to wear that glamorous couture or hang those mummified keychains behind its bloody and gruesome history? Think twice. 

Take Juan step to make an advocacy 

Philippines is not just rich in natural resources but with eco-warriors too. Non-government organizations are doing their Pinoy duties towards environment and animal protection. Some of these NGOs initiate projects such as seedling adoption for reforestation, pawikan and giant clam adoption to retrieve these species, and cats and dogs adoption to save these abused home pets. 

Good news is, volunteering to these environmental efforts is just one step at Juan Earth on September 29, 2018 at Bonifacio High Street Activity Center, 9th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City. Juan Earth is a grassroots effort produced by Write On Track and its dedicated team of community volunteers wanting to educate and empower people to create a healthier and more sustainable world. 

To take that Juan step,  visit Juan Earth’s website at http://www.juanearth.com; LIKE its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/JuanEarthPH; or check their updates on Instagram at www.instagram.com/juanearthph. 

It's a habit that is good for the soul, good for the community, good for Mother Nature.

How Mobile Disaster Alerts are Sent to the Public

We wish to share with the public the process which guides how disaster alerts and notifications from concerned government agencies are sent to our customers.

Under the law, only government agencies such as the NDRRMC are authorized to issue alerts to prepare people for impending disasters. The role of mobile network operators such as Smart Communications is to deliver these alerts to our customers through our text messaging and emergency cell broadcast services. 

In the case of typhoon Ompong, we received this morning instructions from NDRRMC to send out three alerts to customers in specific areas identified by the disaster agencies. The first was sent out to mobile users in the provinces of Aurora, Cagayan, and Isabela. The second message added the provinces of Apayao, Abra, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Nueva Vizcaya, and Quirino, while the third message was sent to our customers in Batanes, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Benguet, Pangasinan, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, and Zambales. 

Please note that mobile messaging is one of several communication channels used by the government disaster authorities to deliver alerts to the public. These channels also include other media, such as TV, radio, print and also social media.

Emergency alerts are vital in helping people  prepare for disasters. We will continue to work closely with the government disaster agencies to make the process as effective as possible. 

Vivo unveiled the all-new Vivo V11 to the Ph

Vivo V11 AI Smartphone Makes International Debut Promising Perfect Shots and Immersive Design

Taking perfect photos has never been easier with these ground-breaking features that remove many of the typical photography challenges and instantly turn mere amateurs into near-professional photographers.

Vivo  unveiled the all-new Vivo V11 to the Philippines during the Vivo V11 Grand Launch last September 12, 2018  held at Shangri-La at The Fort Manila, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

This new AI-powered addition to the popular V series comes with an AI camera that helps users capture the picture-perfect moment in any scenario, but also AI services to enable smarter and simpler living. 

Vivo’s V11 features key design breakthroughs, with the new Halo FullView™ Display paired with Starry Night and Nebula fusion colors, all enclosed within a curved 3D body to provide a seamless and immersive user experience. 

The V11 is the first in the V series to incorporate In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology, continuing Vivo’s technology leadership in biometric security, while maintaining a sleek and stylish design.

Annie Lim, Vice President for PR Strategy and Partnerships

.

“Innovating with consumers in mind is our priority. We are excited to introduce the AI-powered V11 to create a more intuitive and personal mobile experience for our users. With that in mind, we have made the perfect shot much easier to take with our AI Camera, added smarter AI services, and introduced our industry-leading In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology to the V series for the first time. We will strive to bring trend-setting innovations and the best experience to more consumers around the world,” said Annie Lim, Vice President for PR Strategy and Partnerships.

V11’s AI Camera Creates Perfect Photos with Ease

The V11 continues Vivo’s pursuit of the perfect shot. Following the success of the V9 earlier this year, Vivo has stepped up its development of AI to answer the consumer demand for more powerful photography features which adapt to any scenario.

V11 features a 12MP + 5MP dual rear camera combination with a large f/1.8 aperture and 1.28μm pixels, as well as a 25MP front camera. The 12MP rear camera boasts Dual Pixel Sensors with 24 million photosensitive units for higher light sensitivity and DSLR-standard Dual-Pixel Autofocus technology that can lock focus in just 0.03 seconds.

Taking perfect photos has never been easier with these ground-breaking features that remove many of the typical photography challenges and instantly turn mere amateurs into near-professional photographers. V11’s AI Backlight HDR and AI Low Light Mode use AI algorithms to capture multiple frames for greater detail, and combine them to create perfectly exposed photos, even for difficult lighting environments such as sunsets. Adding to the list of AI photography features is AI Scene Recognition, which identifies different objects, elements and scenes, and applies specially customized enhancements to make your photos really “pop”.

For perfect selfies anywhere anytime, V11 introduces all-new AI Face Shaping technology, with an AI face-modelling algorithm that adds individual treatments to your facial features, creating beautiful yet natural selfies. The improved AI Selfie Lighting feature also offers more lighting effects with AI algorithms that understand how the user’s face interacts three-dimensionally with light. On top of that, AI Portrait Framing makes framing the perfect shot easier than ever, by using artificial intelligence to guide you. It prompts you on how to hold your phone in the optimal position, effortlessly producing perfectly framed portrait shots every time.

Smarter Experience, More Powerful Performance

Beyond photography, the V11 expands the AI mobile experience across the board with Vivo’s AI assistant Jovi, with features like Jovi Smart Scene, Google Lens and Google Assistant. Jovi Smart Scene makes everyday life easier by recognizing user scenarios and acting accordingly, including checking the weather and providing real time information. Google Assistant helps with everyday situations like map navigation, online shopping, travel arrangements, music, video and even social media, while Google Lens, backed by advanced deep-learning algorithms, lets users search for what they see.

Supporting these incredible AI features, V11 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660AIE processor with 6GB RAM + 128 ROM, ensuring ultra-smooth performance. 

The latest Funtouch OS 4.5 (based on Android 8.1) and Vivo’s Jovi AI Engine also work together to allocate CPU and memory resources efficiently to handle multiple complex operations.

Futuristic Immersive Design with the V series’ first In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology

The V11 features a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 6.41-inch Super AMOLED Halo FullView™ Display with a 91.27% screen-to-body ratio. The ultra-thin 1.76mm side bezels, paired with the 3D curved body design blends the edges of the phone into the display, creating an immersive viewing experience that fits perfectly in your hand.

V11 is the first model in the V series to incorporate In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology, which eliminates the visible fingerprint pad to create a seamless design from front to back. The technology first debuted in CES earlier this year and has effectively created bigger screens without compromising on security options. Incorporating this cutting-edge technology in V11 is the latest testament to Vivo’s efforts to solve consumer pain points.

The accuracy of Face Access has also been enhanced using infrared light, which now accurately scans 1,024 facial feature points to unlock instantly, even in the dark.

Vivo has created two trendsetting fusion colors inspired by the exciting mysteries of the universe - Starry Night and Nebula. Starry Night’s blend of black and blue and Nubula’s stunning blue and purple hues invoke glistening stars in distant galaxies that heightens the futuristic design of V11.

Shanti Dope, the wildcard who will join IVOS for an exclusive Coke Studio Collab!

“Shookt,” sums up Zild Benitez of IV Of Spades when he and his bandmates Blaster Silonga and Badjao de Castro when they were told of their Coke Studio collaboration. “Although, we have to admit that there was also some fear,” admits Badjao. “But even if there was that fear, we still had to do it. We’re just enjoying it.” ZILD then turns philosophical and says, “There’s a saying that you should grab opportunity, but sometimes you should also grab the fear.” Known for their distinctive and some would say, brave sartorial choices, fear is not exactly what we would associate with this groundbreaking band that makes not just music but also creates a super stylish and cool vibe for their fans. 

Just going into music, even though they are all from musical families was a big act of audacity for these three musicians. “People think that because our parents were musicians, they encouraged us, but it’s actually the opposite. They were always pointing out to us how hard it is to choose a life in music,” Zild begins. And Badjao and Blaster nod in agreement. “We still did it!” Blaster says . Of the collaboration itself, they come up with the words unusual, challenging and exciting to describe the whole process. Badjao adds, “Very challenging and exciting.” ZILD adds, “We are part of a generation that’s not boxed in by genre. We knew that Shanti Dope is edgy so we just wanted to enjoy the collaboration.” 

Teen prodigy Shanti Dope exploded onto the rap scene at age 16, but he himself says that even as a child, he wasn't like other children. He discovered rap at age 9, as he was sound tripping with his friends, and it created a space where he could be himself. His parents separated when he was young and he was shuttled among various relatives. Though adults expect teenagers to be obsessed with puppy love and such, Shanti Dope raises the big questions. His songs tackle such weighty topics as the futility of materialism and biting social commentary. “Bata pa ako, inuusisa ko na ang mga bagay na hindi pang-bata.” (Ever since childhood, I would be curious about matters that are not just for children.) Now mentored by rap legend Gloc 9, Shanti Dope just waves aside any fancy titles as the next big thing in rap, just happy to keep on experimenting on his music. “Lahat lahat puedeng i-adapt,” he muses, echoing the open and experimental attitude to music as the IV Of Spades guys. 

When asked how to describe their song, Shanti Dope, quips, “Parang vintage na classy barong.” Zild pipes in, “It’s like a big work of graffiti.” “That has been enhanced by photoshop,” adds Blaster. 

They all marveled at how effortless and seamless their chemistry emerged. Maybe it’s their shared openness to experimentation. Maybe it’s their youth. Or maybe it’s just that when you love creating and performing, your shared artistry just flows. 

Watch how Shanti Dope and IV Of Spades collaborate for a refreshing kind of music that celebrates their own genres in the first episode of Coke Studio Season 2. 

Catch them every Sunday at 11:15a.m. before ASAP on ABS-CBN or on www.youtube.com/CokeStudioPH.

Electrolux challenges women to change the way they do laundry at the FashionCare Season 2 Launch

Electrolux Philippines hosted Timeless Style: The FashionCare Season 2 Launch Party last August 30, 2018, at Whitespace Manila, Chino Roces Ext., Makati.City.

At the FashionCare Season 2 Launch Party, Electrolux Ambassador Rajo Laurel and FashionCare Council Members Amina Aranaz-Alunan and Janice Villanueva challenge women to change their ideas about caring for their timeless pieces of clothing. 

The FashionCare Council and Electrolux representatives (from left: Electrolux Philippines General Manager Chad Sotelo, Electrolux Philippines Country Marketing Manager Andrea Soto-Pionilla, FashionCare Council Member Amina Aranaz-Alunan, FashionCare Ambassador Rajo Laurel, Electrolux Philippines Product Manager Erika Depositar, FashionCare Council Member Janice Villanueva and event host Patty Laurel-Filart)

Washing machines have become a reliable partner of many Filipino households in doing their laundry as it saves more time than washing by hand. Yet when it comes to caring for clothes, many women still have trust issues when it comes to their washing machines. That is the concern that Electrolux seeks to address as it launched the second season of its FashionCare Campaign, which seeks to change the way women do their laundry. 

Laundry Woes 

To find out more about women’s laundry woes, Electrolux Philippines conducted a research in partnership with Mommy Mundo, one of the country’s leading mom communities. When asked about what fabrics they were afraid to wash using their washing machine, 67% of the respondents say that they are afraid to machine wash their silk clothing, followed by delicate wear (52%), cashmere (40%), and wool (39%). 

Among the top reasons why women hesitate to put their clothes in washing machines are more than half of them (58%) think it might ruin the clothes, while some think that machine wash can cause fabric shrinkage (17%) or fading of colours (4%). 

When it comes to doing laundry, women worry about more than just cleaning. Fabric care remains one of the unfulfilled needs of women as 77% of them look for fabric care features when they buy washing machines, and among their top 3 laundry concerns are pilling of clothes or what we call himulmol, stubborn stains and misshaping of clothes – two of which are related to caring for the fabric. 

The FashionCare Challenge 

With women’s laundry concerns in mind, Electrolux created the UltimateCare™ range of washing machines, designed to help women care for their clothes. 

At the FashionCare Season 2 Premiere Party, Electrolux Philippines FashionCare Ambassador Rajo Laurel and FashionCare Council Members Amina Aranaz-Alunan and Janice Villanueva put the UltimateCare™ washer dryer to the test as they challenged Electrolux to wash their designer dress, silk scarf and wool jacket, respectively. 

The FashionCare Council themselves demonstrated how to use Electrolux UltimateCare washer-dryers, proving how easy and convenient they are to use, and how effective they are in keeping your clothes clean, fresh and vibrant. 

Amina Aranaz-Alunan, founder, executive director and teacher of SoFA Design Institute, and Creative Director of fashion accessories and bag label ARANÁZ, was pleased to find that her silk scarf was just as colourful after washing as when she bought it.

“I could keep using this over and over again thanks to Electrolux’s UltimateCare™ washer dryer which has features that care for delicate pieces and keeps them looking new and vibrant,” shared Amina during the event. 

Meanwhile, Janice Villlanueva, successful mompreneur and founder of Mommy Mundo, was initially apprehensive about ruining her wool jacket, but found it undamaged and soft to the touch after the washing and drying was finished. 

“I used to hand wash wool sweaters like this one because I was afraid it would get stretched out of shape. So I’m excited that the Electrolux’s UltimateCare™ washer dryer can safely wash woollen items and make sure they look their best,” Janice said. 

Rajo Laurel, renowned fashion designer and Electrolux FashionCare Ambassador, was sure that his designer dress would come out of the wash unscathed.

“I know that Electrolux understands how important our clothes are to us, and I’m grateful for it. I feel safe knowing that my clothes are in good hands with Electrolux’s UltimateCare™ washing machines,” shared Rajo. 

Designed to care for clothes 

Electrolux is confident that its latest range of washing machines would rise to the challenge as its UltimateCare™ washing machines comes with UltraMix™ technology to help women not only get better stain removal but better fabric care, helping them retain the colour, shape, and softness of their clothes from delicate wear to designer pieces. 

The UltraMix™ technology gives women the results of a hot wash for better stain and dirt removal, yet uses a lower, gentler temperature. Detergent and water are pre-mixed in a special chamber before the beginning of the cycle to maximize cleaning power at a lower temperature. It delivers deeper clean and 31% better colour care, to ensure your favorites look newer for longer.

Besides the powerful yet gentle cleaning of UltraMix™, Electrolux UltimateCare™ washing machines extend the life of clothes with Vapour Action, designed to soften fabric while reducing allergens by up to 99.9% that’s gives women the assurance of better care for your clothes for years to come. The Woolmark certified cycle approved by the Woolmark Company, the global authority on wool, will safely launder these precious garments. 

Electrolux UltimateCare™ washing machines also has Eco Inverter technology that offers high energy efficiency that reduces energy consumption by 75% and save time by 44%. Women can also enjoy the flexibility and convenience to toss in forgotten items during the washing cycle with add clothes feature. 

“For today’s modern woman, clothes are a way of expressing herself, which is why she doesn’t trust washing machines with her priceless pieces of clothing. But we at Electrolux want to share that now, there is a washing machine that cares for your clothes as much as you do,” shared Andrea Soto-Pionilla, Country Marketing Manager of Electrolux. “With the FashionCare Campaign, Electrolux wants to introduce a better way of taking care of our machine wash-sensitive clothes. With the Electrolux UltimateCare™ washing machines, you not only get cleaning, but fabric care that makes clothes look newer for longer.” 

In line with its FashionCare campaign, Electrolux is offering several great deals on its washing machines, with offers up to 25% off on selected front load washing machines and washer- dryers.
