It can be quite frustrating for moms to find out that their kid’s school lunch was mostly left uneaten. Not only do spoiled leftovers translate to a waste of food, time and resources, it also deprives growing kids of the nutrition they badly need.

Fortunately, there is now a fun, delicious and nutritious way to persuade fussy eaters to clean off their packed lunches and that’s by preparing meals bento box style. All it takes is bit of creativity, basic cooking tools like cookie cutters, and a hearty and wholesome food base or viand like Gold Seas Tuna Chunks.

Bento box expert Kat Maderazo, @bentobyKat on Instagram, came up with several easy-to-prepare recipes using Gold Seas Tuna Chunks to help busy work-at-home moms find a way to encourage their little ones to finish their meals whether they’re away at school or at the comfort of their own homes.

Solaire Resort & Casino has announced its new celebrity endorser, the Philippines’ Concert King, Martin Nievera. The renowned singer - songwriter stars in a music video of a song he co-wrote with Moy Ortiz entitled “Follow the Sun”, showcasing Solaire with Martin singing and swinging all around his new home.

If the casinos along the world-famous Las Vegas strip had Sinatra, we at Solaire have Nievera!

Solaire, the only Filipino-owned integrated resort located in the rapidly evolving Entertainment City, provides a grand venue for luxurious accommodations, gaming, dining, entertainment, and recreation, all with the magnificent view of the Manila Bay sunset. 

Martin Nievera enjoys his signature burger at the Solaire Pool Bar & Grill.

It made its mark as a world-class destination when its Sky Tower was awarded 5 Stars by Forbes Travel Guide. 

“Martin embodies who Solaire is – he is a homegrown star, known for his many talents. Nievera, a multi-awarded, world-class performer definitely knows the finer things in life. He’s a perfect match for Solaire,” said Cyrus Sherafat, Senior Vice President for Casino Marketing.

In his own words Nievera says, “Having traveled around the world performing and experiencing world-class service wherever I go, Solaire certainly stands out among the best. What makes me gleam with pride the most is that around the world, the Filipino talent is imported to smoothly operate their resorts and casinos. In Solaire, that same world-class service I get is here, making my every stay a true five-star experience.”

Prior to the announcement, Nievera has performed various sold-out shows at The Theatre and hopes to continue performing there like it was his own “home theater,” and at the same time personally invite some of his already famous friends to do the same.

“Performing at The Theatre at Solaire is a world-class experience. We have housed some of the most popular Broadway productions and continue to give Filipino audiences a chance to see some of the biggest names internationally known, not to mention keeping OPM alive by showcasing outstanding performances by our own homegrown talents. Every time I perform in The Theatre, I feel so proud to be a Filipino artist and I am excited to show off The Theatre’s amazing facilities to anyone and everyone who steps inside. The show better be good, because the venue is already awesome!”

With #TropangReady and #SafePH campaign, Smart program strengthens youth’s disaster resilience

Internationally recognized Smart program strengthens youth’s disaster resilience. Through its #SafePH campaign, Smart reinforces its mandate to help build more resilient communities and reduce disaster-related casualties through technology.

BatSU students conduct their own Tropang Ready disaster preparedness training for parents of scholars of the government’s Pantawid Pamilya Program in their community.

The series of earthquakes that hit Batangas in April caused injuries to some residents and damage to property. Students of Batangas State University (BatSU), however, were able to teach their families to assume the duck, cover and hold position while the tremors were ongoing, and later led them to safe locations after the shaking stopped. 

BatSU was the venue of the first-ever Tropang Ready Disaster Preparedness Caravan, a series of campus tours of PLDT wireless subsidiary Smart Communications (Smart), designed to educate the youth on disaster readiness. A few months after the caravan, the teacher education students of BatSU themselves conducted their own preparedness training for parents of scholars of the government’s Pantawid Pamilya Program in their communities. 

Through its value brand, TNT, Smart initiated the Tropang Ready Disaster Preparedness Caravan in recognition of the youth as vital contributors in their communities. It is an enhancement of Smart’s ongoing series of nationwide trainings which started in 2013, featuring lectures and activities done “infotainment”-style for families, communities and members of the clergy. 

Following BatSU, the caravan had been to the following universities: Bulacan State University, Southern Leyte State University, University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines–Cagayan de Oro, University of Baguio and Isabela State University. On Aug. 25, the caravan will be heading to Eastern Visayas State University in Tacloban City, Leyte. The province has been recovering from the effects of a magnitude 6.5 earthquake that hit Jaro town on July 6.

“It is said that the youth are the members of the society who are most vulnerable to calamities. But here at Smart, we believe in the capability of the youth to mobilize their communities in times of emergencies, through their knowledge of the latest technology,” said Ramon R. Isberto, PLDT and Smart public affairs group head. “We believe in empowering the youth by educating them and making technological and communication tools available to them.”

In recognition of its impact in the community, TNT Tropang Ready has been shortlisted as Best Engagement Campaign of the Year at the Responsible Business Awards by Ethical Corp., a UK-based group which provides intelligence to businesses around the world.

Smart’s disaster preparedness initiatives have also been cited in the Humanitarian Connectivity Charter (HCC) annual report of GSMA, an organization of more than 800 mobile companies worldwide. Smart is one of the four founding signatories of the HCC, which has since grown to over 100 mobile operator members and six humanitarian partners across more than 75 countries.

Among Smart’s disaster preparedness programs cited in the report are the Emergency Cell Broadcast System, which sends location- and hazard-specific alerts; the ICT Bayanihan series of regional summits organized to institutionalize rapid emergency telecommunications teams, and the Batingaw disaster management app by the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council, Tudlo, and Smart, which has been replicated in the Horn of Africa.
