Independence Day Message of  three-term Senator, now Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda in the 123rd year celebration of the country’s independence, 

 

Mensahe ni Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda

Araw ng Kalayaan

June 12, 2021

Sa ika-isandaan at dalawampu’t tatlong pagdiriwang natin ng kalayaan bilang bansa, ang hangad natin ay makamtan din ng bawat Pilipino ang kalayaan sa kahirapan na siyang gumagapos sa marami nating kababayan.

Matagumpay man nating nabawi ang ating Kalayaan sa pang-aapi ng puwersang kolonyal, hindi natin maipagkakaila na may mga kapwa tayong Pilipino na patuloy na nagdurusa sa kahirapan na siyang pumipigil sa kanilang pag-unlad at pamumuhay nang maginhawa.

Ang isang tunay na malayang bansa ay isang bansa kung saan ang mga tao ay nakakapamuhay ng kontento at hindi nakakaranas ng pagdurusa, kung saan ang bawat isa ay nakaka-benepisyo sa pangunahing mga programa at serbisyong sosyo-ekonomiko, at kung saan kasamang umuunlad ng mga komunidad ang mga taong naniniharan dito.

Ang kasalukuyang pandemya at sunod-sunod na pananalasa ng mga sakuna ay naging dagdag-hamon sa bawat Pilipino. May mga kababayan tayong nawalan ng trabaho at kabuhayan na siyang tanging pinagkukunan ng kita para maitaguyod ang pangangailangan ng pamilya. May mga kababayan tayong halos isang beses sa isang araw nalamang kumakain at kung minsan nga ay wala ng makain dahil sa kawalan ng panggastos. May mga kabataang natigil sa pag-aaral dahil sa kawalan ng sapat na kagamitan para maipagpatuloy ito. May ibang namamatay na lang nang hindi man lang nakakapagpagamot.

Huwag na sana nating hayaang patuloy na magdusa ang ating mga kababayan. Huwag na nating hayaang madagdagan ang mga kumakalam na sikmura, mga pangarap na hindi naabot at ang bilang ng mga nasawi ng dahil sa hirap ng buhay. Isang hamon din sa pamahalaan na mabigyan ang mga mamamayan ng mas maraming oportunidad sa trabaho, pantay na pagkakataon upang magkaroon ng kalidad na edukasyon, serbisyong pangkalusugan, trabaho at pangkabuhayan, at ligtas na pamumuhay laban sa kalamidad bilang mahahalagang hakbang tungo sa matagumpay na pagsugpo sa kahirapan sa bansa.

Ngayong Araw ng Kalayaan, sama-sama nating ipaglaban din ang karapatan ng bawat Pilipino na magkaroon ng maayos at maginhawang buhay. Kasabay ng patuloy nating pakikipaglaban sa kasalukuyang pandemya, patuloy din nating isulong ang kalayaan ng bawat Pilipino sa kahirapan at bigyan sila ng pag-asang makamit ang buhay na kanilang inaasam.

Sa muli, isang Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan sa ating lahat.

Jollibee celebrates Filipino pride and joy with ‘Pusong Pinoy’ featuring Sarah G and Billy Crawford

Tweet

Every June 12, the country beams with pride as it celebrates its independence and freedom from colonial rule. But in today’s context, what does it mean to be Pinoy and Proud and how can this be embraced by every Filipino?

As the country commemorates its 123rd Independence Day, Jollibee once again ignites the hearts of Filipinos all over the world with its new song titled “Pusong Pinoy.” Performed by world-class celebrities Sarah Geronimo and Billy Crawford, “Pusong Pinoy” celebrates an ever-present Pinoy Pride rooted in the Filipinos’ innate ability to give joy and hope, as well as rise above challenges by embodying the spirit of Bayanihan and helping one another.

“We wanted to highlight an admirable trait of Filipinos - while we are known as being resilient and being joyful people, what drives this is our malasakit sa kapwa which enables us to face any challenges that come our way. The Bayanihan spirit has always been a part of our culture, and we see now that it is still very much alive in modern times. So, we should all be proud of our Pusong Pinoy”, says Francis Flores, JFC’s Philippines Country Marketing head and Jollibee PH Marketing head.

“Para sa akin, ang ‘Pusong Pinoy’ ay laging handang tumulong, mapa-Pilipino man o ibang lahi,” shared Jollibee ambassador Sarah Geronimo. “Kahit saan ka magpunta, talagang ang puso ng Pinoy iba magbigay ng pagmamahal at pag-aalaga.” Sarah added.

In the video, Sarah and Billy sing about how Filipinos spread pride and joy, with scenes depicting acts of selflessness and compassion for others specially during challenging times. These examples show how Filipinos overcome hard times by uplifting each other with a kind of joy that comes from within. And how, in this celebration of Independence, they give meaning to their freedom by sharing it with those around them.

When asked what makes her proud of her Filipino heritage, Sarah said, “Yung mga katangian ng Pilipino ang talagang hinahangaan ko sa bawat isa sa atin. Lalo ngayon, mas nakikita natin ang pagiging matulungin, matatag, at mapagmahal ng bawat isa. Sa maliit o sa malaking paraan man, lahat ng Pilipino kumikilos para sa kapakanan ng kanyang kapwa.”

Billy Crawford also shared how Filipinos can take advantage of their freedom to bring joy to one other. To him, holding on to the hope that better days are about to come is one way to remain inspired as Filipinos move forward. “This is the best time for us to remain humble and take everything in life as it goes. With a brand like Jollibee giving us joy through the song ‘Pusong Pinoy’, they are able to make us feel the kind of love na magaan at mapagpalaya, ‘yan ang hindi napapantayan ng kahit anong bagay.”

With Jollibee capturing what it’s like to have ‘Pusong Pinoy,’ Filipinos around the globe can definitely be proud of the joyful spirit that allows them to move forward, no matter the obstacles.

Sing Jollibee’s Independence Day 2021 anthem with Sarah Geronimo and Billy Crawford by watching the “Pusong Pinoy” music video on Facebook and YouTube.

Sarah Geronimo and Billy Crawford encourages everyone to be proud of their Pusong Pinoy in Jollibee’s Independence Day video.

Pinoys show their Bayanihan spirit by spreading joy to others especially during challenging times.

Shopee and the Department of Health Team Up to Encourage Filipinos to Get Vaccinated

Tweet

Through this partnership, Shopee and the Department of Health aim to raise awareness on the importance of COVID-19 vaccination through education

MANILA, JUNE 11, 2021 -Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, partners with the Department of Health (DOH) to promote education about COVID-19 vaccines through in-app and social media initiatives. As the Philippines aims to vaccinate 70% of its population within three to five years, this partnership between Shopee and DOH augments the concerted effort of the private sector and local government units to encourage Filipinos to get vaccinated and protect themselves and their loved ones against COVID-19.

While the local government rolls out COVID-19 vaccination programs, the vaccine hesitancy rate among Filipinos continues to increase, going from 47% in January 2021 to 61% by the end of the first quarter. They remain resistant to the vaccine due to three key reasons: concerns about potential side effects, uncertainty about efficacy, and skepticism.

Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “Shopee is honored to partner with the Department of Health to educate Filipinos on the importance and benefits of vaccination. Through our collaboration with DOH, we can provide the community with accurate and science-backed vaccine information. With proper education, we aim to raise the public’s awareness and hopefully encourage more people to get vaccinated.”

Beverly C. Ho, MD, MPH, Director IV, at Health Promotion Bureau DOH, said, “This partnership symbolizes what we, in the Health Promotion Bureau, want to do—meet people where they are and make living healthy easy. That's why we are thankful to use Shopee’s platform, one that effectively reaches and engages millions of Filipinos, to make RESBAKUNA reach a wider audience. The immense potential this partnership holds, not only in increasing vaccine confidence but in improving overall health literacy among Filipinos, truly excites us.”

Starting this month until August, users can learn more about vaccines’ safety and effectiveness from DOH and World Health Organization representatives. On June 23, 9:00 PM, users can watch a discussion on “Fake vs Fact on COVID-19 Vaccine Safety and Efficacy” on Shopee Live. Shopee will post helpful information about the vaccines on its official social media pages. A separate microsite will also be available on the Shopee app.

These awards are a fitting testament to the passion and dedication of all my colleagues as we all work tirelessly towards promoting financial inclusion for all,” said Martha Sazon, GCash President and Chief Executive Officer.

For the last two decades, The Asian Banker has been the industry-defining body in recognizing players that demonstrate exceptional excellence in retail financial services in the Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.

Converge ICT Partners with FHMoms to Help Power Freelance-Working Women

Tweet

MANILA, Philippines, June 11, 2021 — Converge ICT, the country’s fastest-growing pure fiber internet service provider, has partnered with Filipina Home-based Moms (FHMOMS), one of the most influential online communities today. The partnership was officialized through an exclusive pure fiber connectivity program called Converge M.A.M.A. (Making All Moments Awesome). The program intends to ensure more meaningful connectivity experiences for WFH or freelance-working women.

“We have always been committed to upgrading the Filipino online experience, and that is rooted in our families. Mothers play a major role in that. Forging partnerships with such groups as FHMOMS can only amplify our efforts to help improve qualities of life through our pure fiber technology.” said Jesus Romero, Converge ICT Chief Operating Officer.

The Converge M.A.M.A is a program dedicated to strengthening the community of women who are committed to enriching how they take care of their families by continuously improving themselves through technology. They are forward thinkers who leverage on sharing fresh ideas, new concepts, and meaningful trends. Since the majority is at home, these women have maximized the use of the internet for tutorial videos, informative podcasts, Zoom meetings, video calls, and social media interactions. With the reliability of pure fiber connectivity, these power women can better exchange insights and pursue passions to enable them to do what they do best.

“As mothers who, like everyone else, are trying to pursue our dreams and improve our ways of life, FHMOMS is happy to partner with Converge. The pandemic has made it more challenging for freelancers or small-business owners like us. Having an internet connection that we can truly depend on is important now more than ever.” Said MK Bertulfo, founder of FHMOMS.

The said program is designed to provide easier access to reliable connectivity to the community members by offering easy payment options and customizable internet plans such as the Converge FiberX Time of Day. Members will also get to take advantage of exclusive content to help them learn about a wide range of topics like business, technology, social media strategies, housekeeping, inspirational/motivational stories, and more.

“We’ve been working hard to provide our market with products that can address the market’s true needs. For the modern women of FHMOMS, such innovations like our Converge FiberX Time of Day – which allows you to double your speeds without doubling the price – will bring great value to what they are trying to accomplish every day.” quipped Romero.

Such efforts have helped establish Converge ICT as one of the top-performing Filipino companies with a 54% market share of fixed broadband net subscriptions and 1.04 million residential subscribers in December 2020. The company-wide performance was the primary reason for them to be included in the inaugural Philippines’ Growth Champions 2021 prepared by the Philippine Daily Inquirer and international market research firm Statista.

“While we grow as a company, we will never lose sight of why we are doing what we do - to serve everyone, especially communities that celebrate the strength of the family. Your small wins are our big wins,” added Romero.
