Effortless Shopping tips to all Shoppers On the Go

Secure Shopping

· For mobile shopping, choose shopping sites with an app. It’s easier to use and most importantly, more secure as it’s harder to tamper with.

· Check news articles about the shopping site to ensure it’s not a temporary online shop that will disappear after pocketing your money.

· Ensure the shopping site has a return policy such as Lazada’s Buyer Protection: online shops without return policies can mean scam or unauthentic products.

· Do not give your password to anyone. Online shops’ email support or call support personnel should never require your password for identification.

· Only use your credit or debit card on sites with a padlock icon in the URL bar. This means the site uses secure communications to prevent any third-party eavesdropping.

· Check for security labels such as PCI-DSS certification. This means the shop has been audited and is certified safe to use.

· If you don’t receive an acknowledgement email from the online shop shortly after a purchase, there might be an issue with your purchase or it might be a scam. Call the site’s hotline to verify.

· If you strongly suspect you have been scammed and your credit card information has been stolen, contact your bank or credit card issuer to block the card and investigate.

Savvy Fashionistas

· Pick the right size by using the size chart feature, taking your measurements and checking carefully for any international conversions (UK, US, EU, Japan).

· Ensure the site has an exchange policy like Lazada’s 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed policy that enables you to return clothes within 7 days, and re-order the outfit in a size that fits you perfectly.

· Only shop for fashion on shopping apps that provide a few angles so you can see exactly how the clothes fit on the model or mannequin.

· Get your friends’ comments or ‘likes’ easily by sharing the item on Facebook or Instagram before buying.

· Read product details to check on the fabrication so you’ll know how the clothes feel on you.

Parenting Shoppers

· Spend quality time with your family instead of getting caught in traffic to the shopping mall. Shopping at the Lazada Mobile App lets you shop at your convenience, any time of the day!

· Diapers and milk powder are not only expensive, but heavy to carry. Look out for online promotions and take advantage of door-step delivery.

· Follow the Lazada Super Moms Facebook page and subscribe to the newsletters to get the latest deals delivered straight to you.

· Don’t let getting overwhelmed in crowded malls and toy stores stop you from giving the best to your kids. Shop for educational toys online, conveniently.

· If you’ve brought the wrong size of maternity clothes, take advantage of Lazada’s 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed policy. Return the wrong size within 14 days (30 for Vietnam), and re-order the outfit in the right size.

Tech Addicts

· Online shopping allows you to compare prices for your favourite gadget. Do keep a look out for sellers on the same site that may offer a bigger discount or bundle deal.

· Searching for phone accessories, power banks and covers is less overwhelming online as you can easily compare your options and colors, and sort them by price.

· Subscribe to Lazada’s newsletter or like our Facebook page to get news on exclusive and limited edition tech launches.

· When looking for a gadget in a specific model or colour, check out Lazada’s wide range online first. It’s better than visiting the retail store and discovering the gadget’s sold out.

Make Your Mark in Style with the LG G4 Stylus; LG introduces the newest addition to the LG G4 family

Tweet

A few months after the celebrated homecoming of the LG G4 in the Philippines, mobile technology innovator LG Electronics introduces a new member in what seems to be an LG G4 family in the works. Bearing almost similar features as the flagship LG G4, LG Mobile Philippines introduces the LG G4 Stylus.

Supreme display

The LG G4 Stylus inherits the arc shaped body similar to the flagship smartphone; the slim arc design allows for perfect comfortable grip of the user preventing the device to slip and drop from your hand. Take note though that the G4 Stylus is a phablet that has a relatively larger screen compared to the flagship. With a zero-gap in-cell hybrid touch technology with 5.7-inch HD IPS screen 720p display, the G4 Stylus is the perfect handset for those who value better viewing experience for games and movies or for those who take notes seriously.

Make your mark in style

As the name suggests, the LG G4 Stylus comes with an enhanced rubberdium stylus pen perfect for taking down notes and memos. Enjoy the 5.7-inch screen and scribble and doodle away on the built-in Quick Memo+ application on the G4 Stylus. The enhanced stylus pen works together with in-cell hybrid touch technology which makes the screen more responsive to touch contact and lets you surf the net with maximum ease, write down notes, draw, edit photos, and color with such accuracy and precision. Both the young and the old can make the most of the stylus pen with coloring book apps like Colorfy available in Playstore becoming a trend today. 

Inherited features

The G4 Stylus carries staple features such as the functional rear keys, Gesture Shot, Knock Code, as well as Glance View, and Front Camera Light for better selfies. The G4 Stylus maintains its removable back plate which reveals a microSD card slot to further expand its built-in 8GB of internal memory. It also features a 13-megapixel rear camera with Laser AutoFocus and a 5-megapixel front camera, Dual SIM functionality, 1.4 GHz Octa-core processor, 1GB RAM, exceptional 3,000mAh battery life, and Android 5.0 Lollipop OS out of the box.

The G4 Stylus retails at Php 10,990 and comes in Titan Black and White.

The ultimate connectivity and entertainment experience can be found right at home with PLDT HOME’s contemporary suite of digitally connected services.

The leading broadband and digital services provider wraps up the first half of 2015 with a fresh and power-packed lineup, treating families to an ensemble of strong connectivity options and the most popular movies and TV shows all from their monthly subscription.

PLDT HOME joined forces with Smart Communications to establish the Entertainment Everywhere movement, first introduced through their breakthrough tie-up with Southeast Asia’s leading Internet TV service iflix. Families are given the sweet escapes and binge-watching moments they deserve with hit TV series and movies from the best content providers from around the world including top Hollywood, European, Asian and even local studios.

Entertainment Everywhere was levelled up immediately after with PLDT HOME and Smart’s partnership launch withFox International Channels, a global entertainment company and Asia Pacific’s leading broadcaster. Offers go beyond subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) content to include live and catch-up television on various Fox channels. Families are thus granted the power to keep up with every moment of the most thrilling sports events through live-viewing and enjoy the most popular blockbusters at their convenience through catch-up TV.

Having maximized its offerings within the home with voice, data and cable television services, the organic next step for PLDT HOME was to add a mobile offer, equipping consumers with the same strong and reliable connection when they step out of the house. With mobile connectivity completing the country’s first quadplay service, consumers can now also text, call, surf and enjoy iflix and Fox content anywhere and anytime without worrying about sky-high mobile bills.

“The first half of 2015 is momentous for PLDT HOME because of all the new opportunities that we introduced to Filipino families,” PLDT and Smart EVP and Consumer Business Group Head Ariel P. Fermin said. “From boundless entertainment to connectivity solutions, we are able to bundle all digital needs at home and even beyond the home. We still believe that the strongest connections are at home and we are committed to adding more and more value to our home-based offerings, fortifying a digitally connected lifestyle.”

“We are pleased to maintain PLDT HOME’s status as families’ broadband of choice this first half of the year with a commanding market share of over 70 percent. Our massive consumer base helped us create and develop these recent innovations which all funnel towards the digital sphere,” PLDT VP and HOME Marketing Head Gary Dujali added. “It is our mission to give more families access to these connectivity and entertainment services to enrich their lifestyles at home and wherever they go.”

Quality learning for children of all abilities

Tweet

"Spending time with children of all abilities brings priceless moments, and they are captured through these precious smiles." 

For some children, their life would always be different from the rest of the world. Some cannot find the right words to speak their hearts’ desires, others curiously ask what each color looks like, while some walk to their everyday tasks, trusting the touch of a companion and the friendly sound of nature to lead their way. 

They are different, they are unique, and they are unlike anyone else. 

"Opportunities to observe, explore, and perform experiments are provided to ensure active participation and utmost understanding of the lesson." 

Still, like all children in the world, each child is a promise waiting to be fulfilled. A promise of a celebrated and colorful life, experienced and seasoned with everything the world has to offer. Each child has a chance to live and be the person they wish to be—whatever they are capable of doing so, physically and mentally. 

One World School in Makati City wishes to be the second home of children of all abilities, their haven in becoming the best individuals they could be, both at the comforts of their families and in the society. 

"Discovering one’s strength and talent produces limitless possibilities, such as this boy’s captivating painting."

Let One World School be your partner in honing your child’s potentials and grow to be the best versions of themselves with its extensive educational programs carefully planned for every child who yearns to learn. 

The Preschool and Elementary (Grades 1 to 4) programs give each child the chance to play and learn with peers and friends who understand and accept them as they are. Through these programs, each child grows with a diverse group of kids, fostering unity and bolstering social skills. 

Every classroom is only composed of eight to nine students, all of whom have been selected based on their own strengths and challenges, keeping the school’s ambiance intellectual and emotional sensitive. Guided by two specially trained teachers, each child will be given ample attention ensuring both learning and discovery. 

With the colorful set of individuals inside the school, the unique traits of each child come to light, thus, the Individualized Education Program (Preschool to High School) offers a more comprehensive curriculum specifically catering to the specific needs and skills of the pupil. Various extensive therapies and intervention programs may be provided for to the child to carefully develop the different skills he or she has. 

Every classroom will only have a small number of students, each of whom has their own personalized curriculum, crafted for each one’s capabilities, with one special education teacher guiding the class. With an education as personal and distinctive as this, a child could grow and evolve more as an individual.

This kind of quality education forges lasting relationships not only between students, but also with the school community and each family touched by the unique circumstance of every child. 

Unfortunately, education has become a pricey luxury instead of a basic necessity. All children deserve a chance to be the people they dream to become, and learn from the best set of people. Nothing, not even their condition or financial situation, should hinder a child from being educated. 

Thus, One World School launched a scholarship program, which could give a chance to those children in financial need to learn from a quality school. Children living in the Guadalupe Viejo, where the school resides have a chance to be part of the community. 

The project “Be Part of Culture Change. Nation Building One Community at a Time” dares to change the culture in Metro Manila about special needs education by strengthening awareness in the community that typically developing children can learn with children with special needs. 

The scholarship program would promote a new learning environment for each child enrolled, with typically developing children learning with, and learning from children with special needs, advocating an ideal and truly inclusive setting. 

Studies show that children with special needs learning in a general education classroom have improved communication skills, reading and math skills. Moreover, every child feels they belong, regardless of their social background or their health condition.

Contrary to the myth that children without any conditions will be negatively affected by children with special needs, the presence of each individual with their own stories to tell, serve as a learning opportunity and an experience to unravel in an early age, raising appreciation for human diversity. 

The school believes that inclusive education, benefit all individuals may it be in academics or character development. Quality education is not the only priority in school, but more importantly, acceptance and value for every unique individual— instilling values that each child would bring for the rest of their lives. 

A bigger and better community means a wider and bigger horizon for these children to conquer and learn upon. Every child enrolled can help another child to unravel attitudes and skills that make one individual develop holistically. Every child educated is another promise fulfilled.
