CHERRY Cares continues to spark hope on the fourth year of its Project Twinkle

CHERRY Cares, the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) arm of CHERRY Philippines, is once again making a meaningful impact on the community through its Project Twinkle. Since 2021, it has been a CSR program aimed at promoting the giving spirit over the holiday season.

This year, the focus is on reaching out to different child-care institutions, home for the elderly, street families, and the IP community. CHERRY Cares extends support to MBTC Manila Kids Home, Concordia Children Services, Inc., the Minstrels Rythym of Hope Foundation, Kanlungan sa Er-Ma, Reception and Study Center for Children (RSCC), Laura Vicuña Foundation, and House of Somang in Parañaque. In addition, the hope to bring a touch of warmth is also sent to the IP community of Sitio Magata, Tanay Rizal.

With a simple yet worthwhile get-together, the organization aims to create a space of happiness. Jollibee meals and Cosmic Plush Toys were given to the young hearts who have faced neglect, abandonment, and abuse. Moreover, CHERRY Cares also did the extra mile to ensure that the gifts distributed align with the practical needs of the recipients by granting their wish list. Essential food items and hygiene kits are provided, emphasizing the importance of their well-being.

Meanwhile, CHERRY Cares demonstrates that the holiday season is not only about festive decorations and celebrations but also an opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of those less fortunate. The distribution of Media Noche package has reached 100 street families from different districts of Manila in coordination with DSWD-NCR.

“We are happy to light up lives and make this season brighter through our Project Twinkle. We’ve been doing this for quite some time. This is our CEO, Mr. Maynard Ngu’s way of returning the gratitude by simply giving back,” shares Agnes Conopio, PR and CSR Senior Manager of CHERRY.

As we conclude Project Twinkle 2023, one thing becomes abundantly clear: the spirit of generosity transcends the exchange connection that binds us all. Whether through a helping hand, a warm meal, or a simple act of kindness. For in giving, we receive the priceless gift of a more connected, resilient, and compassionate world."

AXA Smart Traveller secures Filipino passengers and their loved ones on trips this holiday season


The Christmas and New Year holiday season is just around the corner, and Filipinos can't wait for the 'bonus' season and the extra-long break that comes with these celebrations. This special period allows us to focus on hanging out with family and friends, getting into the giving spirit, or even jetting off for adventures abroad. However, the joy of these moments can quickly fade away in the face of last-minute panic. The stress of the holiday rush, combined with abrupt temperature changes, can render people more susceptible to illnesses. Therefore, it’s all the more essential to take necessary precautions and ensure coverage for any medical emergencies while traveling.

Additional benefits include reimbursement for non-refundable expenses in case of trip cancellation or postponement, protection against baggage loss or damage, and coverage for permanent disablement or demise resulting from accidents while traveling. These inclusive benefits empower travelers to embark on each trip with ease, knowing they are protected from various risks.


Globally recognized protection

The Schengen-accredited travel insurance plan bagged the Gold Award in the Travel Insurance Category of the international magazine Reader’s Digest’s Trusted Brands 2023. Reader's Digest Trusted Brands has been hailed as the preeminent measure of brand trustworthiness both locally and internationally for the past 25 years, rewarding companies that have gained the most customer trust via their products and services.

You can also go beyond the tourist spots and explore local hidden gems—a quiet Australian beach or a rustic Italian village where time seems to stand still. Stroll through scenic landscapes, from the vineyard-covered hills of the French countryside to the charming Bavarian villages of Germany, adding an extra layer of joy to your international holiday adventure.

For seamless travel in Schengen states, you require a Schengen-accredited insurance partner offering comprehensive travel coverage.

An HONORable Year: Take a Look at the HONOR Gadgets Launched this 2023

 


From back-to-back phone launches to laptops and tablets, HONOR had a truly amazing run in 2023!

It is still not too late for presents! Here's a trip down memory lane for all the HONOR gadgets that were launched this year that can give you an idea for your well-deserved year-end gift! From budget phones to prestige gadgets, HONOR has the best deals that’s worth your money.

“The Holiday Season is not yet over, so we give you this list of HONOR gadgets released this year for your needs and most importantly, for any budget that you may have,” said Stephen Cheng, HONOR Philippines Vice President.

Elegance Meets Quality

Capturing memories can be disappointing when not shot right. This holiday season, HONOR Magic5 Pro is the best gift for memory hoarders. It ranked first in DXOMARK for the best camera smartphone when first released and was rated the best at Mobile World Congress 2023 for its triple rear camera quality which includes a shooter, ultrawide camera, and periscope telephoto camera, almost functioning like a compact DSLR. Alongside its inviolable 5100mAh battery quality, water and dust resistance technology, and huge storage memory, HONOR Magic5 Pro is the best gift to not miss ephemeral moments.

On the other hand, the crowd favorite HONOR 90 5G has a 200MP Flagship Camera, stylish and jewelry inspired design if you’re looking for a flagship-level smartphone without breaking the bank. An even more affordable option is the HONOR 90 Lite 5G with a very capable 100MP camera.

 


 

 

Your Deserved Value-for-Money

 

The HONOR X5 Plus, HONOR X6a, HONOR X7a, and HONOR X8a are budget phones that won’t let you down. HONOR X5 Plus is a steal at an affordable price with its MediaTek Helio G36 processor that has a capacity of 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD. HONOR X6a also has a quad-camera setup at the back with the main shooter being a 50-megapixel wide lens while the selfie camera is a 5-megapixel shooter. Main difference would be the storage capacity between the two phones. HONOR X7a is a great value for its battery capacity that can last up to 3 days on a standby mode and also offers a great camera quality with its quad camera setup: 50-megapixel main camera, a 2-megapixel ultra-wide lens, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. Lastly, HONOR X8a is a great option for entry-level phone photography with its 100MP Camera.

 

Worth it Durability

 

The first-launched phone of HONOR in the Philippine market this year is still the apple of the eye for durability. HONOR X9a 5G is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of Internal storage.

 

Indulge in Productivity

 

For students, working adults, and even for grandparents who find joy in playing games in a wider screen, HONOR Pad X9 is the ideal choice. It has an 11.5 Inches display powered by Snapdragon® 685 4G Mobile Platform. Lastly, HONOR Magicbook X14 and HONOR Magicbook X15 with very capable Intel processors are known for its eye care technology, especially made for preventing eye strain due to longer hours of screen exposure.

 

Gifts Galore with HONOR

Exciting FREE Gift Boxes worth Php 2,499 also await fans of other HONOR smartphone units including HONOR Magic5 Pro for Php 59,990, HONOR 90 5G for Php 24,990, HONOR X9A 5G for Php 16,990, HONOR 90 Lite 5G for Php 12,990, and HONOR X7A for Php 7,990.

It yielded the history-making, 5x-Platinum smash “Sucker,” which minted them as “the first group in the 21st century to debut at #1 on the Hot 100,” exploded as the “longest running #1 Pop Airplay Single of 2019,” and received a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.” Bowing at #1 on the Billboard 200, Happiness Begins impressively scored the “biggest sales week of 2019 at time of release” and housed the Double-Platinum “Only Human” and Platinum “Cool.” The band supported the album with the worldwide “Happiness Begins Tour”—selling over 1.2 million tickets—and the Amazon Original documentaries Chasing Happiness and Happiness Continues. Along the way, the members simultaneously juggled prolific solo careers extending into television, film, and successful business ventures. In 2023, Jonas Brothers once again proved they are a constant force, embarking on a new era with the release of The Album, via Republic Records. The Album was produced by Jon Bellion and features hit singles “Waffle House” and “Wings.” In support of the new album and this new era for Jonas Brothers, they kicked off “The Tour” with two sold-out shows at New York's iconic Yankee Stadium on August 12th and 13th.

“The Tour” will include stadium and arena dates around the globe through 2024, resulting in the band's biggest and most extensive tour to date.
