A grand reward for selfless love: Loyal PLDT customer wins P5 million in Grand Giveaway promo

Tweet

Years spent on taking care of his parents while keeping ties stronger through phone calls with family were rewarded when 57-year-old Rod from Manila won P5 million from the first-ever PLDT Home Rewards Grand Giveaway promo.

From L-R Patrick Tang, First Vice President and Head of PLDT Home Customer Management, Winner of PLDT Home Rewards 5M Grand Giveaway and Jason Ignacio, AVP and Head of PLDT Home Loyalty and Planning

A loyal subscriber of PLDT for 38 years, Rod received an SMS sent to customers, encouraging them to register to PLDT Home Rewards, which automatically qualifies them to join the raffle. “I decided to join just because, and I didn’t think I’d actually win,” he said. “So, imagine my surprise when I got that phone call from a PLDT Home representative. I didn’t believe it at all at first!”

The youngest in a brood of six, Rod resigned from his office job in Makati to take care of his ailing parents full time. “I never considered it a sacrifice on my part. I’m glad that I was there for them in their final years.”

Rod said that his phone line was his connection to his siblings, three of whom are already based overseas.

“It’s been years since I last saw them, but we never lost touch and would always update one another through frequent calls,” he said. “My older sister said, maybe this is your prize from heaven. It’s our parents’ way of thanking you for your selflessness.”

Since it’s been ages since he and his siblings last got together, he’s musing if winning the grand cash prize could be a sign for a family reunion, especially with overseas travel restrictions now being eased. “They’ve been teasing me, calling me don or boss! I’d love to see them and my nephews and nieces soon!”

Rewarding customers, changing lives

Customers enjoyed more rewarding experiences through the PLDT Home Rewards Grand Giveaway. Overflowing prizes, including two (2) Crate & Barrel home makeover packages worth ₱500,000 each; ten (10) SM Gift Cards worth ₱150,000 each; ten (10) Shopee Pay credits valued at ₱100,000 each; plus work, study, play and watch-at-home packages were given away in the weekly and monthly draws from April to December 2021.

Like Rod, PLDT Home customers can enjoy great rewards this 2022. Aside from the exciting giveaways, they can also receive Crystals for their PLDT transactions and exchange them for bill credits and vouchers from over 40 partner brands

“We’re glad to have made 2021 exciting for PLDT Home subscribers. For this year, we have something even bigger, so everyone should watch out for more thrilling treats and promos,” said Patrick Tang, First Vice President and Head of PLDT Home Customer Management.

Start collecting your Crystals now! To join, all you have to do is enroll your PLDT account to the PLDT Home Rewards program and, upon successful registration, start earning Crystals through regular PLDT transactions like payments, plan upgrades, and more.

Beko’s healthy product range helps Filipinos live healthier lifestyles

Tweet

Manila, Philippines — Beko, one of Europe’s leading appliance brands, believes that humans and the planet are interconnected and healthy living is only possible when the planet is safe and healthy.

In celebration of World Health Day, which carries the theme “Our planet, our health,” Beko is highlighting its healthy product range from refrigerators to washing machines and cooking appliances as it continues to help Filipinos live healthier lifestyles.

In recent times, we have realized how important clean water, air and food, hygienic rooms and clothes are and how crucial it is to our wellbeing that the homes we live in are virus-free.

Because of this, Beko is constantly looking for new technologies that help preserve what nature gave us so people can live healthy and well-balanced lifestyles.

HarvestFresh is Beko's unique crisper drawer technology that uses an innovative three-color light system to mimic the 24-hour sun cycle. This keeps fruits and vegetables in their natural original environment long after they’ve been harvested, preserving the vitamins they contain and freshness for longer.

Beko’s SteamCure Hygiene+ technology in washing machines makes having clean and fresh clothes effortless with the use of steam. SteamCure Hygiene+ works by releasing steam from the bottom of the washing machine’s drum, right before it even starts washing. The steam acts as a pre-treatment, which helps loosen stubborn stains, dirt and other gunk from your garments.

Healthy and good quality meals are guaranteed when you cook like a pro with Beko cookers and ovens. The Beko Steam Oven, for instance, helps retain the flavors of food and keep vegetables crisper and the meat juicier. Steaming also preserves the nutrients and vitamins in the food.

Beko’s technologies and products help ensure a healthy lifestyle for people while protecting the environment and contributing to a healthier future for the planet and future generations.

“We want our products to be part of Filipinos’ daily lives as we continue to focus on empowering next generations to live healthier lives. Beko is committed to creating products that benefit our customers and have long-ranging benefits for the planet,” said Gürhan Günal, Country Manager of Beko Pilipinas Corporation.

ABOUT BEKO

MNL48 makes a long-awaited comeback with 7th single “No Way Man”

Tweet

After a year of tough preparations, MNL48 finally returns with its 7th single “No Way Man,” a dance-centric song with a message that mirrors the girl group’s can-do attitude in the midst of challenges.

“No Way Man” is led by center girl MNL48 Abby with Senbatsu members Sheki, Jamie, Ruth, Ella, Jan, Andi, Jem, Yzabel, Princess, Lara, Coleen, Rianna, Lyza, Dana, and Dian. The single has been a long time coming for the girls due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing restrictions it entailed for big groups.

MNL48 coach Angel referred to the single as “unforgettable” not just because of its difficult choreography but also for what the girls went through while rehearsing for the song.

“We've been training for a year for this and it's really hard for them to catch up because we had to do it online. They've experienced a lot of things and the lyrics really speak of everything that we've been through,” she said.

Meanwhile, center girl MNL48 Abby gave props to her members and their MNLoves for inspiring her to do her best.

“I witnessed every member gave their very best for a quality comeback. At first I doubted if I could do this but I always kept in mind that I have a good support system in my sisters, co-members, and the MNL48 fans who kept encouraging and believing in me.”

For rank 2 MNL48 Sheki, “No Way Man” truly exhibits their growth as performers. “This single features our talent in a different genre in dancing. Aside from that, it also highlights our vocals and the character of each member. The song has a beautiful meaning, it really reflects our life as MNL48 idols.”

The music video for “No Way Man” is now up on MNL48’s YouTube channel, which shows off the group’s intricate choreography in a rooftop and in fiery and elegant sets with 395,000 views as of writing. MNL48’s last single was 2020’s “River.”

MNLoves, the fanbase of MNL48, can also look forward to the release of a music card with mini photobook and a handshake ticket that will be available soon.

MetroMart Wins Praise for Commitment to Sell Only Cage-Free Eggs Nationwide by 2025

Tweet

Manila, Philippines – MetroMart, the country’s largest e-commerce grocery delivery platform, won praise today from U.S.-based global NGO Lever Foundation for its new commitment to source and sell only cage-free eggs nationwide by 2025.

Evreem Fortich, COO and Cage-Free Egg Ambassador at MetroMart, holds a box of cage-free eggs. Under the new policy, all the eggs sold by MetroMart nationwide will be cage-free by 2025.

“MetroMart is committed to social responsibility and benefiting the community, including through selling high quality, safe and humane food products,” said Evreem Fortich, Chief Operating Officer at MetroMart and ambassador of the company on the issue. “We’re pleased to share our new policy of selling only cage-free eggs to consumers on our platform by 2025, and we look forward to working closely with our partners to achieve that goal.”

MetroMart’s e-commerce platform connects consumers with local supermarkets and retailers including The Marketplace, Marks & Spencer, Landmark and All Day Supermarket. The company delivers throughout the Manila and Cebu regions, with plans to expand nationally. MetroMart has been actively promoting sustainability initiatives by using banners on its platform to raise public awareness of environmental issues, and offering promotional discounts for ethical and sustainable products.

Numerous studies have found cage-free eggs are safer and have more vitamins and minerals and a better nutritional profile than caged eggs. Research by the European Food Safety Authority and others has found that cage-free egg farms are up to 25 times less likely to be contaminated with key strains of salmonella compared to hens raised in cages. Hens raised in cage-free systems enjoy better bone health, are free to move and express their natural behavior such as foraging, dust-bathing, flying and nesting.

“We applaud MetroMart for its commitment on this important issue, which will benefit the company’s customers by increasing food safety and quality while also improving the welfare of animals in its supply chain,” said Robyn del Rosario, Sustainability Program Manager at Lever Foundation, which worked with MetroMart on its pledge. “With e-commerce leaders like MetroMart rising in popularity and importance during the pandemic, the company’s commitment to socially responsible policies that benefit the community sets a stellar example for other retailers and food brands.”

Leading animal protection and food safety organizations around the world encourage a switch to cage-free eggs, which are less cruel to animals and safer for consumers. On caged egg farms, each egg-laying hen is confined for nearly her entire life in a cage so small she can barely turn around. Battery cage egg production has been banned throughout the European Union as well as in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada, India, and parts of the United States.

In recent years a growing list of restaurant, hospitality, retail and packaged foods brands have pledged to use only cage-free eggs in the Philippines, including KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Marriott, Nestle, Unilever, and many others. MetroMart is the first retailer in the Philippines and the first online grocery delivery platform in Asia to make the same pledge.

ABOUT METROMART

MetroMart is the country’s leading online grocery delivery platform, partnering with five of the top supermarkets in the country and over forty other prominent retailers. MetroMart’s vision is to connect consumers with their favorite local merchants and it diligently provides customers with the best products and services, promising city-wide delivery within two hours. During the Covid-19 pandemic the company became a household name in the Philippines, expanding by 400% in just thirty days, and the company plans to expand nationwide. With a focus on sustainability, food safety and quality, MetroMart continuously strives to improve the living experiences of its customers.

ABOUT LEVER FOUNDATION

Lever Foundation is a global NGO based in the United States and operating across southeast Asia. Lever Foundation works with leading food companies in the Philippines and across the region to help them upgrade their protein sourcing for a more humane, safe and sustainable supply chain, with a focus on cage-free eggs and alternative protein.

When developing tech leaders, a global perspective is key - Shopee cultivates tech talent with overseas training and exposure

Tweet

Over the last decade, technology has radically changed the way businesses all over the world look and operate. Accompanying this meteoric change among businesses, is the need for different leadership traits.

According to Forbes[1], key traits that future leaders will need to possess include the ability to embrace technology and employ a global citizen mindset. This mindset includes celebrating diversity and understanding new cultures in order to gain knowledge on how to enter and succeed in new global markets. On the other hand, embracing technology will allow leaders to improve efficiency in the organization.

Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, continues to instill these fundamental traits into young, tech-driven talent through the Global Leaders Program. This year marks its fourth iteration as it continues to mold tech leaders of tomorrow.

The Global Leaders Program is a 2-year graduate program consisting of four 6-month local and overseas rotations open to final-year students and young professionals with up to two years of working experience. Participants can expect to receive mentorship from senior management, a rigorous training curriculum under the various Shopee departments, and the opportunity to work on highly impactful projects. And one of the key experiences of the Global Leaders Program is the opportunity to work in different Shopee markets across the region and gain pivotal exposure to the tech industry. Throughout the overseas rotation, Shopee will provide mobility support to GLP Associates to ensure hassle-free overseas accommodations and seamless visa applications.

Karen Perez, Head of People at Shopee Philippines, said “At Shopee, we understand how crucial developing a global perspective is in pushing the Philippine tech industry forward. Through the overseas rotations of the Global Leaders Program, we believe that we can help broaden the horizons of young Filipino talent. We are deeply committed to delivering more opportunities to hone the skills of young Filipino professionals and support the growth of our local digital economy.”

Jan, a GLP associate currently completing her second overseas rotation in Thailand under the Marketing Department, has shared what influenced her decision to apply. “The promise of diverse rotation and regional exposure at such a young age attracted me to the Global Leaders Program. I believe the program brings in many unique opportunities that would allow me to launch my career and create immediate impact.” she said.

For Lance, another GLP associate that is also currently assigned to Thailand, the opportunity to gain regional exposure abroad has provided him with a better understanding of our local situation. He shared, “Being able to live and work in the same company, but in a different country immediately provides me with a new ‘perspective’. This is quite useful because it helps me notice the differences between Thailand and the Philippines in terms of the needs of our buyers and sellers, organizational structure, and working-style. These differences helped me strategize on how we can better tailor our solutions or ways of working to fit different local contexts.”

Koko, on the other hand, completed his overseas training in Singapore last August 2021. Being trained abroad gave him the opportunity to grow as both a professional and an individual. He said, “I was able to experience different work functions, roles, industries, and even markets in the short span of two years. I also had the opportunity to take on a lot of responsibility early on in my career, which helped me build confidence in my own knowledge and skills.”

Young Filipinos looking to challenge themselves and drive change in the tech industry are welcome to apply to Shopee’s Global Leaders Program here: https://careers.shopee.ph/GLP. The application period has been extended until April 30 2022.

Protect what’s yours and feel safe

For many, smartphones store one’s most private information. Nokia C21’s AI-powered face unlock is now supported by fingerprint sensor for extra security and convenience. Two years of regular security updates come as standard for C-series, so users are assured that the Nokia C21 works hard in the background to keep everything in the phone safe, so fans can go about their day worry-free.

Rigorous testing to ensure durability that won’t disappoint

Made from sturdy polycarbonate, the body of Nokia C21 is supported by a metal chassis on the inside and toughened cover glass on the outside. From force measurements to vigorous tumble, over 50 tests are carried out on every Nokia phone to ensure hardware durability, and Nokia C21 is no exception. The result is a smartphone which honours the long-lasting, Nordic excellence you’d expect from HMD Global, so users can hold on to their device for longer.

The beautiful Finnish aesthetic is also functional – designed with micro texture on the back and curved sides to ensure a good grip in style.
