Annual campaign rallies young people to speak out, raise funds and build decent homes
Housing organization, Habitat for Humanity Philippines (HFHP), announces today its 2017 launch of Young Leaders Build. The campaign is Habitat’s largest youth movement in the Asia-Pacific region. Organized for the sixth consecutive year, the regional campaign is driven by dynamic and socially responsible youth to ensure decent housing for all in a region where one in eight people live in slums, according to the United Nations.
The Philippines is currently facing a housing crisis with 5.5 million Filipino families lacking access to their own safe, decent home.
“At Habitat, we aim to serve these families in need by partnering with others to build better communities, and a better nation – together. We believe the best way to face this crisis is work alongside the next generation of empowered youth leaders who are socially conscious and energetic to volunteer, fundraise and advocate for poverty alleviation,” Charlie Ayco, HFHP Managing Director and CEO said.
HFHP has engaged more than 1.2 million volunteers in the past fiscal year, which garnered more than 2.5 million volunteer hours and the organization looks forward to engaging even more youth volunteers through the Young Leaders Build campaign in the coming months.
The Young Leaders Build was first pioneered more than a decade ago by Alexandra Eduque, Founder and Chairwoman of the Habitat Youth Council, who kick-started the project as a national effort. Now, due to the campaign’s successes, it is now a global youth movement.
“We look forward to this years Young Leaders Build to be more empowering to the youth and more transforming for the families and communities we serve,” Ayco added.
In the coming months, youth, celebrities, schools and corporate supporters will volunteer, raise funds and lend their voices to help families achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Events planned across the region include workshops, rallies, runs, volunteer trips, a youth forum, an advocacy grant program and a Twitter party.
The multi-month Young Leaders Build campaign will culminate on 22 April 2017 with thousands of young people taking part in simultaneous activities across Asia-Pacific. These include house building, school cleaning, fundraising events, and advocating for decent housing on social media.
The campaign in the past year (2016 campaign video link) saw a record 2,448,914 supporters from 16 countries and one Special Administrative Region in the Asia-Pacific region. Volunteers worked on 420 houses, and served 7,620 families. The campaign raised US$ 1.6 million to enable families to have a decent place to live.

The historical Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit, Cavite is one of the first projects that was successfully preserved by JDI and NCHP's partnership. (Photo cedits: www.pinoyadventurista.com)
Historic sites help define a country’s identity, allowing us a peek at all the triumphs and challenges that have made it a nation. However, through the years, many heritage sites suffer from damages wrought by modernization, natural calamities, and even by pests like termites and woodborers.
In their desire to contribute to the preservation of such historical markers, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) and Jardine Distribution, Inc (JDI). continue its efforts in preserving historical sites
“We are happy that we are able to continue this meaningful partnership with NHCP. Solignum is all about preserving what we have so future generations can enjoy it or learn from it,” says Peachy Tiu, JDI Marketing Manager “Preserving our historical landmarks is our own contribution to nation building and our way of showing gratitude to the Filipino people for trusting Solignum all these past decades.”
JDI helps in preserving our cultural heritage by donating and applying Solignum wood preservatives to the structures to protect these from further deterioration.
Jardine and NCHP plan to restore and preserve more historical sites like what they accomplished with the Museo ni Apolinario Mabini located at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines-Sta. Mesa. (Photo credits: commons.wikimedia.org)
Working diligently and effectively for more than a century now, Solignum has mastered the science of total termite solution—from timber protection to soil treatment and decorative products.
Among the projects that are successfully preserved and restored by the partnership includes the historical Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit, Cavite and Museo ni Apolinario Mabini located at Polytechnic University of the Philippines-Sta. Mesa.
As Solignum maintains its position as the most trusted wood preservative in the market, and after decades of strong performance, JDI only hopes that its preservation efforts will help future generations appreciate the country’s vibrant history.
After all, Jardine believes that lessons from our past make us stronger and better people who are capable of making this country a better one.

Before the New Year comes, it is a time to make resolutions for the upcoming 12 months, not only for yourself, but for your home.
As 2015 has now started, now is the time to ask what property goals you would like to accomplish in 2015.
Global real estate marketplace Lamudi has compiled a list of five simple suggestions for revamping your home for the New Year.
1. Go Green
To go green, you do not have to spend a lot of money installing solar panels; simply make a few changes. By unplugging appliances and turning off lights when they are not in use, you can save both energy and money. If you want to take it one step further, switch to energy-saving light bulbs or LEDs and reduce usage of your washing machine and dishwasher by ensuring they are full before pressing “start.” For more tips on how to go green, check out http://www.everydayme.com.ph/home/going green
2. De-clutter
Start the year by deciding what you really need in your house, and what you can leave in 2014. Once you have given away unnecessary items to charity, you can begin to clear the clutter. Houses, apartments, and condos all have an abundance of storage possibilities; whether it be installing high shelves, or under-bed boxes, secret compartments within your sofa or hiding places beneath the stairs, be creative with your space.
3. Embrace Technology
Make 2015 the year of the hi-tech home by embracing the vast number of smart products on offer. Whether it be a connected fridge that you can text to check on food supplies, or a television that you can program from the other side of the world, treat yourself to a new appliance as they become increasing innovative, yet affordable.
4. Learn a New Skill
Whether it is how to reupholster your sofa or make your own curtains, learn something new next year. Either sign yourself up for a local course or search online for a tutorial and let 2015 be the year that you develop your DIY skills. Basic skills in plumbing and maintenance, such as unclogging a drain or re-plastering a wall can save you a lot of time and money in the long run.
5. Refresh and Recycle
A new year is a time to make changes, so why not repaint a room in your house? Perhaps there is a more daring color for your front door that you have been considering or a new refrigerator that you have been eyeing up—2015 is the year to make that change. Furthermore, why not recycle old items to freshen up your home; use empty bottles or old light bulbs to create a chic new light fitting or an old bathtub to brighten up your garden. Check out Upcycle That for more tips and inspiration.
Do you know that an ant infestation can cause major problems for our health and home?
Don’t let ant size fool you. They are a health risk to your family. There are hundreds of ant species in the Philippines but households usually get invaded by three types of ants, in general: the black garden ant, the brown Pharaoh ant, and the tropical fire ant.
Below are the threats from an ant infestation:
Bites, stings, and venom. Ant bites are not only painful but can cause swelling or even rashes. There are ants, like the tropical fire ant, that sting and inject venom. These are more dangerous; people who are allergic to ant venom may need emergency treatment. Depending on its severity, an allergic reaction to ant venom can be fatal.
Contamination and diseases. Here’s another reason we should not take an ant infestation for granted: ants can carry harmful bacteria that cause serious diseases. Some ants eat decomposing plants and animals. When the ants go from their feeding area into your house, they are potentially carrying harmful germs. Pharaoh ants are known carriers of the salmonella bacteria, which causes potentially fatal infections.
Damage at home. One ant species, the Carpenter Ant, causes damage by burrowing tunnels through a home’s wooden structures. Species like the red fire ant or the Asian super ant are known to gather in places with flowing electrical currents.
This means that these ants may accidentally damage appliances or cause electrical fires as a result of a short circuit (according to http://www.antark.net/)
The most convenient and effective way to get rid of ants that invade your home is Optigard Ant Bait; it contains thiamethoxam, a powerful ingredient that kills ants. Optigard Ant Bait has dual action: first, it attracts ants so they take the bait.
Second, the ants exposed to the bait bring it back to their nests where they share it with the rest of the colony. This will expose more ants in the nest to the bait’s killing action, including the colony’s queen; therefore, eliminating the colony and making your home ant-free for at least three months.
Optigard Ant Bait kills not only the ants you see in your home but also the ones in the ant colony. Ants attracted to Optigard Ant Bait will bring the bait back to their nests, where it will be passed on to the rest of the colony, even to the Queen. It's your best defense against the threats posed by ants to your household.
Using Optigard Ant Bait is very convenient. It comes in a colorless gel form, so there’s no worry about staining or dripping. The gel is contained in a syringe applicator. It’s best to apply Optigard Ant Bait in areas where we observe ants frequently passing through.
Lighting innovation concepts from Philips are set to revolutionize the landscape of lighting
“Imagine a future where you can just let your kitchen lights flash colors in time to a dance tune, or where your lighting can notify you of whether or not it will rain.”
“Imagine if you are away from home but still be able to open the lights there with just a swipe on your cellphone.”
Fabia Tetteroo-Bueno, Country Manager of Philips Philippines. shared during the unveiling of the company’s newest Innovation Concepts.
“Light is inspiration, whether you are resting inside your home or working at the office, light can have a dramatic effect on how we do things.”
“With our inspiration-focused Innovation Concepts, we stretch the technology further to help improve the lives of people. And we do so by adding a new dimension to lighting—creative expression,”
Philips Philippines is opening new possibilities in the future of lighting with its roster of Innovation Concepts that fuse lighting with creativity in ways that were previously considered unimaginable.
The current lighting solutions from Philips also address the need for more energy-efficient lighting in the Philippines. In fact, shifting to LEDs and controls from old, inefficient lighting can result in 85 percent more savings for consumers.
Tetteroo-Bueno continues, “Philips is driving the switch to energy-efficient solutions, and shaping the future with exciting new light applications. Lighting technology can now be seamlessly integrated into novel technologies that deliver in both form and function. Needless to say, it is an exciting time for the company, as it discovers more meaningful innovations that fill the need for inspirational lighting.”
In line with this, Philips introduced six innovation concepts that embody the future of lighting:
Flexibility
Controllability
Alternative Energy
Connectivity
Dynamism
Materials Integration.
“These concepts exemplify our vision for lighting in the next decade,” Tetteroo-Bueno described.
Flexibility
Under the concept of Flexibility lies the technology of OLEDs or organic light-emitting diodes- the banner lighting systems of Philips. OLEDs are surface light sources—like wallpaper, ceilings, and windows—that shine brightly with daylight even when it is dark. These glare-free lights have glass plate assemblies that can be seamlessly integrated into installations.
The Philips LivingShapes interactive mirror, for example, takes full advantage of the unique characteristics of OLEDs. It is made up of dozens of Lumiblade OLEDs that emit light when it is turned on and appear as mirrors when turned off.
Likewise, Philips LivingSculptures let designers orchestrate three-dimensional arrays of OLED in open spaces like ceilings and walls—adding a sense of movement to any surface, as multiple light panels rhythmically move and illuminate to create interactive displays.
Controllability
Under Controllability is a technology called Philips Antumbra. The Antumbra Panel Series is described as the new benchmark for user control panels. Engineered for high-end residential and hospitality, these switches greet guests by automatically ‘waking up’ with a wall-washing lighting effect.
“Designed with a magnetic field, Antumbra panels sense when there’s a nearby body—triggering a backlight to welcome its users,” said Tetteroo-Bueno.
“In addition to letting you customize your light settings, the panel can also be used to interface with different household appliances—bringing convenience that is in a completely different league to anything else at present.”
Alternative Energy
Light is a basic necessity, but there are many off-grid areas and sites in the Philippines that have limited access to power. According to Tetteroo-Bueno, this raises the need for cost-efficient alternative lighting solutions for communities hard-pressed in electricity.
She explained, “Philips Mobile Solar LED Lighting presents solutions that can instantly brighten the lives of Filipinos in these communities by creating a safer environment that encourages them to be happier and more productive.”
These solar LED lighting systems store energy from the sun during daytime, so that they are able to provide illumination at night. These modules are also commonly used in street and road lighting.
Connectivity
Wireless connectivity will revolutionize how people interact with lights. Tetteroo-Bueno asked, “Imagine if your lights at home or office can be controlled from the comfort of your smartphone or tablet? That is unparalleled simplicity and convenience at your fingertips.”
Philips Hue offers consumers intuitive technology in the palm of their hands. This innovation, Tetteroo-Bueno pointed out, lets you create and personalize light through an app—letting you pick from a wide spectrum of shades to set the mood and feel of your living space. Hue can also alert you of your schedule, incoming email or even warn you if it will rain.
Dynamism
Under the concept of Dynamism is Philips Color Kinetics (CK). CK lets people appreciate the world’s landmarks with a dynamic mix of colors. These dazzling light installations are currently used in over 34,000 iconic spectacles across 100 countries—including England’s coveted London Eye.
Tetteroo-Bueno remarked, “Color Kinetics fuses the advantages of LEDs with state-of-the-art digital control technology, combining millions of colors and high-quality white light to be displayed without the inefficiency of traditional lighting. As a result, landmarks like the London Eye look as breath-taking at night as they do during daytime.”
Materials Integration
Philips LED lighting systems can also be integrated with superior sound absorption to enhance room interiors to create the ideal setting for the workplace.
“The Philps Soundlight Comfort Ceiling (SLCC) creates a synergy between light and sound,” claimed Tetterroo-Bueno. “This acoustic light ceiling system combines comfortable LED lighting with sound deadening technology to orchestrate the perfect work space, as it exudes comfort and performance.”
Philips Luminous Textile Panels (LTP), on the other hand,instantly bring drab spaces to life with a rich combination of multi-colored LED modules within acoustic textile panels that soften sound, setting the perfect tone for hallways and meeting areas.
The future of lighting
Philips has embodied its inspiration through the Innovation Concepts, aiming to develop lighting solutions that are beyond ordinary functionality. Apart from ensuring energy efficiency and sustainability, Tetterroo-Bueno adds that these state-of-the-art innovation conceptsalso pioneer new avenues in applications—particularly in art and design.
She concluded, “Our innovation concepts give us a glimpse of the future of lighting. These concepts and their applications are what we can do today. Just imagine the possibilities that Philips can bringtomorrow.”
