SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - Number one Philippine mobile brand Globe Telecom recently partnered with top online retailer and marketplace Lazada to bring its internationally-acclaimed GCASH mobile wallet to the eCommerce space in South East Asia. 

Lazada is owned by Rocket Internet, an internet platform that identifies and builds proven internet business models then transfers them to new, underserved or untapped markets where it seeks to scale them into market leading online companies.

The Memorandum of Agreement (MoU) was signed by Globe Telecom President and CEO Ernest Cu and Lazada Founder and CEO Maximilian Bittner on April 22 in Seoul, South Korea. In the coming months, it will pave the way for GCASH to be used as a mode of payment in Lazada’s eCommerce website through an open integrated mWallet platform.

“We are excited about this partnership with Lazada because of its customer traffic and the innovation it has done with online shopping. It is a great opportunity for us to leverage on this collaboration by bringing GCASH at the forefront of eCommerce. By increasing transactions through mWallet, we will once again expand the online ecosystem of Globe and provide our customers with a full digital lifestyle experience,” said Cu.

GCASH is an internationally-acclaimed product of Globe Telecom’s wholly-owned subsidiary G-Xchange, Inc. (GXI) and is among the pioneers of telco-led mWallet in the world. GXI has also established a wide network of local and international partners that includes government agencies, utility companies, cooperatives, insurance companies, remittance companies, universities, banks, and commercial establishments which accept GCASH as a means of payment for products and services via mobile phone or the internet.

Through mWallet, Globe customers no longer need to own a credit card or even have a bank account to engage in eCommerce. Instead, they can turn their mobile phone into a virtual wallet to shop at the speed of a text message.

In just barely three years, Lazada has become one of the top B2C eCommerce market places in South East Asia with presence in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. 

Lazada has over 15,000 merchants, and 1.4 million active customers and is currently valued at US$1.2 billion with US$700 million of investment funding. It has an online footprint of approximately 4 million daily visits to its websites and the largest Facebook following in Southeast Asia with over 12 million fans.

 Remington, launches UK hair grooming brand in the Philippines , held at The Eye, Green Sun Hotel, Chino Roces Ave., April 21, 2015.

Remington has finally reached the Philippines,  achieving this perfection is now feasible anytime. UK hair grooming brand  complete with its strong array of personal care small appliances for hair care, grooming, depilation, and shaving.

Personal grooming is now a top priority for a lot of people, especially when it comes to hair care. Leaving the house without that perfectly coifed or sleek straight hair, or smooth underarms among girls, and a perpetual 5 o’clock shadow among guys is no longer an option. Having perfect hair, or lack of it, has become an essential in how the world gets ready.

“We are excited to bring to the Philippines the most trusted brand in hair care, grooming, depilation, and shaving. Remington is a brand that has been around for more than 70 years, in 85 countries. Remington products are not just about exceptional quality, it brings forth a transformation for its users – giving them the confidence that comes from looking their best and being ready for anything,” said Clarence Cu, president of Tocoms Philippines, the exclusive distributor of Remington.

Started in 1937, the Remington brand first rolled out shavers for women who wanted to keep their legs and underarms hair-free without having to pluck – an extremely tedious task to be done regularly. When it introduced plug-free shavers in 1960, Remington established itself as a pioneer in the hair grooming technology.

In the last decade, Remington launched the world’s first body hair trimmer, an Intense Pulse Light machine for home use, and a touch-control beard trimmer.

The product line of Remington for shaving is one of the most popular in the world. Developed in its research and development facilities in the United States and Europe, Remington shavers are known to be innovative and highly-efficient.

The Remington grooming line for men includes shavers and body hair trimmers that have been designed to deliver several options for shaving lengths – from smooth to a one-inch stubble. Designed with the latest innovations, the grooming line for men also caters to the peculiar needs of men’s body and facial hair, giving consumers the best grooming experience.

Female depilation need not be a horror story with the Remington product line that aims to give the smoothest result without the pain. Understanding the dynamics of hair care has enabled Remington depilation products to give the best experience for its consumers.

With hair fashion changing as fast as the seasons, the use of hair curlers and iron has caused more harm than good. The hair care line of Remington allows its consumers to style their hair without damaging it.

Remington hair care, grooming, hair depilation, and shaving products are now available in leading appliance and department stores nationwide. 

The Remington S8590 Keratin Therapy Pro Straightener is every woman’s dream. It straightens the hair while infusing it with Keratin, giving the hair that healthy glow.

The Remington R5150 Titanium X Technology Shaver gives the closest shave any guy would want to clean up facial and body hair. The shaver leaves the skin smooth and supple, without the nicks a regular shaver would have.

The AC8000 Keratin Therapy Pro Dryer keeps the hair smooth and shiny the whole day. Its various temperature settings would give you the best options for your hair.
