Heating up the start of a new year hand in hand with the sexiest body shoot to ever hit print media in the Philippines, the Metro Body Show Off last Saturday (January 11) was an event that took boldness and excitement to whole new heights—especially with Miss Universe 2013 3rd Runner-up Ariella Arida leading the pack.
The Metro Body Show Off, which kick started Metro’s year-long silver anniversary celebration with a bang, took place at Opus, Resorts World, Manila.
There, Metro Body featured personalities apart from the Metro Body Issue’s sizzling hot cover girl Ara redefined sexiness, as presented by the likes of Wendy Tabusalla, Carlos Agassi, Vince Ferraren, Rodjun Cruz, Joaco CaƱas, Jessica Yang, John James Uy, Sky Yang, and JC de Vera.
Ara deemed the Metro Body experience “overwhelming,” saying, “The start of this year is great, because this magazine will be the first to greet readers.” The 2014 Metro Body issue is Ara’s first magazine cover.

Something revolutionary is happening in the coming days. Are you ready to use your power?
For the past few years, Earth Hour has made a massive impact around the world thanks to the power of the crowd. But for 2014, we want to make an even greater..
Earth Hour's mission is to unite people to protect the Planet.
Earth Hour - Your Power Amplified. Multiplied. Globalised. Saturday March 29th at 8:30PM. Use #YourPower at www.earthhour.org
In 2007, WWF-Australia inspired Sydney-siders to show their support for climate change action in the first ever Earth Hour event. It showed that everyone, from children to CEOs and politicians, has the power to change the world they live in. In Sydney, Australia, 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights out for one hour to take a stand against climate change.
In 2008, the plan was to take Earth Hour to the rest of Australia. But then the City of Toronto, Canada, signed up and it wasn’t long before 35 countries and almost 400 cities and towns were part of the event. It said something compelling to the world: that the climate challenges facing our planet are so significant that change needs to be global.
With the invitation to ‘switch off’ extended to everyone, Earth Hour quickly became an annual global event. It’s scheduled in late March – closely coinciding with the equinox to ensure most cities are in darkness as it rolled out around the Earth.
In 2011, Earth Hour saw hundreds of millions of people across 135 countries switch off for an hour. But it also marked the start of something new – going Beyond the Hour to commit to lasting action on climate change. In 2012, Earth Hour celebrated its largest event to date with more than 7000 cities and towns in 152 countries and territories switching off their lights, and with hundreds of thousands of people accepting an 'I Will If You Will' challenge to take their commitment to the planet beyond the hour. With the power of social networks used to promote the campaign, Earth Hour is working towards an interconnected global community committed to creating a more sustainable planet.

Parents and schoolchildren in areas affected by Typhoon Yolanda are receiving an outpouring of aid and relief from all over the country and the world—and agricultural, construction, and home pests products distributor Jardine Distribution, Inc. is partnering with the Department of Education in doing their part to help survivors resume their normal lives.
“Undersecretary Mario Derequito of DepEd is right in pointing out that resuming the kids’ schooling is an important part of the rehabilitation and recovery process; this is why we have chosen to help in this area. Education has always been our priority when it comes to our social corporate responsibility projects,” said Edwin Hernandez, President and General Manager of Jardine Distribution, Inc. (JDI),
Schoolchildren in areas devastated by Yolanda now have a chance to resume education thanks to 1,000 learning kits and 120 tents—serving as classrooms provided by Jardine Distribution, Inc. in partnership with the Department of Education.
In cooperation with DepEd, JDI has released a thousand pieces of learner kits to schoolchildren in Yolanda-hit areas. Schools had been destroyed and learning materials swept away by floods and this has left children unable to resume their education. With the partnership between DepEd and JDI, these children have a chance to feel that life goes on after the tragedy—that there’s hope after the disaster.
The company has also provided 120 tents that will serve as classrooms for the children. “DepEd and we agreed that these learning kits and the tents are important for helping these kids resume their normal lives and to feel hopeful about their future. We are happy to have this chance to do our part in the rehabilitation efforts for these communities,” said Littaua.
“Besides the learning kits, we have also set up 120 tents in the areas that serve as the children’s classrooms. Having these kids come back to school and resume classes regularly is a way for communities to start over and feel a little more optimistic about their future after the devastation. These communities are survivors and they deserve all the help they can get to begin again and rebuild their lives. We at JDI feel privileged that we are given the chance to be part of the rehabilitation process. There’s still a lot of work to do and every little bit helps,” said Peachy Tiu, JDI Marketing Manager.

They are focused on the safe use of these products, providing technical support, and with due consideration of environmental protection.
