99.99%-Bacteria-free water in your condo




Many people nowadays are filtering and purifying their water or even buying expensive mineral water for health and safety reasons. 

If you think the best way to have 99.99-percent bacteria-free purified drinking water in your condominium is to get them from water-refilling stations, think again. 

That’s because there is a better way—one that doesn’t pose any inconvenience, safety and security issue; one that is effective, yet costs less; one that gives you the safe drinking water in no time. 

The answer is the Torayvino’s compact faucet-mounted water purifier, an easy-to-use water filtration system that is so small it fits at the palm of your hand. Yet, this system is so effective at eliminating bacteria that causes diseases such as amoebiasis, cholera, and diarrhea. It is the market leader in Japan (66 percent).

When you use a Torayvino water filter (and, it is so easy to install!), many of the hassles associated with water delivery are eliminated. 

After all, who knows what undesirable things happen between the time the water container leaves the station up to the time it reaches your unit? There are just too many questionable practices that are factored in when you have your water delivered. 

First, there are requirements and policies mandated by certain government agencies that water-refilling stations must fulfill: regular water tests, system maintenance, proper gears for cleaning containers, etc. Unfortunately, a big majority of these water-refilling stations is non compliant to these requirements.

Next, many of these water in 5-gallon jugs are delivered using vehicles without roofs, such as the popular “pedicabs” or bikes with side cars. This means the water is subjected to the heat of the sun, which is never good. This is especially true since those containers are mostly, if not all, not BPA-free.

The trouble continues when you have to wait for about an hour or two for the delivery of your purified water. 

There’s also the issue of security. Do you realize how many times you open your door to delivery people you don’t (or shouldn’t) trust?

With the Torayvino faucet-mounted water purifier, all you’ll ever need to do is go to your faucet and fill up your glass. Voila! 99.99-percent purified water—just like magic.

But it’s no magic; only good technology. The secret lies in Torayvino’s 4-stage filtration system: the pre-screen removes impurities bigger than 465um such as rust, sands, sediment, and particles; while the second screen removes impurities bigger than 114um objects that couldn’t be removed by pre-screen.

The granular activated carbon strongly removes residual chlorine, harmful chemicals, and bad odor; the hollow fiber membrane precisely removes contaminants in the 0.1um unit such as bacteria and other microorganisms, rust, turbidity, and microscopic impurities. 

Torayvino water filters are made with the same membrane technology used in dialyzers and artificial kidneys, which means it is very efficient and reliable. 

At P1,980 for the whole unit (and P1,380 for one cartridge), that’s a good bargain. With this amount, Torayvino water-filter brings the cost of purified water to just P0.92 per liter (as opposed to about P1.85 per liter from water-refilling stations).

A Torayvino faucet-mounded water purifier could filter up to 1,500 liters of water. To put that in perspective, that’s about three to five months regular use for a household with four individuals. After this period, individuals must change the water-filter cartridge only, not the whole unit.

No more bulky appliance or heavy containers that you have to carry up to your unit, and up to your precious kitchen counter space.

Condo-living may be a bit of a challenge for some, but with the Torayvino water filter, at least you’ve got one less thing to worry about. 

If you want 99.99-percent bacteria-free purified water, you’ve got it with Torayvino.

The genuine benefits of employee volunteerism


A wise man once said: Choose a job you like, and you will never work a day in your life. For some employees, this becomes true once they volunteer for the company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects.


According to Points of Light, the world’s largest organization dedicated to volunteer service, employees who participate in their company’s CSR activities gain a lot from the experience. One of the most important benefits they get is the feeling of physical and emotional health. For the employee volunteer, the opportunity of being part of something as important as community engagement is one that no amount of money can buy.

One company that maintains its employee volunteerism program (EVP) is SM, which has won local and international awards for its CSR campaigns through SM Cares. The company gives its employees opportunities to be part of its programs for persons with disability (PWD), elderly, children, women, senior citizens, and less privileged communities.


“I really enjoy doing such activities with my colleagues. It makes me feel better and reminds me of my childhood days when even the simplest gift and show of concern from someone will bring you genuine happiness,” said Kevin Bonifacio, a Resident Engineer of SM City Tarlac. Through the mall’s Adopt a Daycare program, Kevin was able to take time off from his work and spend it meaningfully for underprivileged kids of their community.

Needless to say, employees who are given a chance by their employers to take part in community engagement become motivated and get a morale boost. Mall Manager Michael Uy affirms that the experience is humbling. A volunteer at SM North EDSA’s Brigada Eskwela, he helped repair damaged classroom furniture and repaint walls of a public school. “It inspires us to work harder. The most fun part is the teamwork that all volunteers had during the whole activity,” Michael shared.

SM’s EVPs get big participation from its employee base. For the benefit of public schools, about 2,500 employees contributed their time, effort and personal resources for the activities. A program for the elderly gathered 67% of the total population of SM employees as volunteers, while a Christmas EVP received 66% participation, with 75% coming from mall-based employees.

Eventually, employee volunteerism leads to both personal and professional growth. Those who volunteer in company CSR programs became more engaged at work, creating a more dynamic and positive office culture. They develop better communication and leadership skills and become more fulfilled in their respective jobs. More importantly, they become more appreciative of the kind of work they do in and out of the four walls of the office.
