Tweet

Skyworth, one of the world's leading television brands, is officially launching its official store on e-commerce platform LAZADA this October 2020.

 

“As the COVID pandemic persists, e-commerce will continue to play a big role in the lives of many Filipinos, especially since most will refrain from going outside,” said Martin Han, President of Skyworth Philippines. “This growth in e-commerce is what is driving our decision to launch at one of the main e-commerce platforms in the Philippines.”

Founded in 1988, Skyworth has always adhered to technology leadership and quality first. It is among the world’s market leaders for TVs and digital set-top boxes. In the past 30 years, Skyworth has applied for more than 8,000 patents, and completed more than 200 major scientific research tasks at the national, provincial, and municipal levels.

Beyond its e-commerce launch, Skyworth has nine new products set to launch this 2020. This includes a product range that spans from the simple smart 32-inch to the high end smart 55-inch TV—a frameless Ultra HD (4K) LED flat screen powered by an Android 10 operating system.

Filipino consumers can expect free shipping for Skyworth TVs for GMA and Luzon after the LAZADA launch. What’s more, Skyworth will begin offering more than TVs at the beginning of next year to including air conditioner and washing machines among others. “The goal is to make the new LAZADA store a Skyworth flagship store for all categories,” said Han.

The television brand will be hosting a live-streaming event on LAZADA on October 12, and then officially launch a 3-day campaign on the e-commerce platform beginning October 15. In those three days, Skyworth will be offering free shipping and vouchers to LAZADA buyers. Additionally, consumers can get up to 50% cash back for the 1st, 11th, 111th, 1111th orders placed on the Skyworth official store on LAZADA.

A Nayon for Healing

Tweet

Last October 2019, the Cabinet approved the development of the Nayong Pilipino Cultural Park and Creative Hub at the Entertainment City, New Seaside Road, in Parañaque, Metro Manila.  

The site is the property of the Nayong Pilipino Foundation (NPF), one identified with high cultural, historical, heritage and eco-tourism values because of its proximity to the Las Piñas–Parañaque Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area (LPPCHEA). The NPF Cultural Park and Creative Hub was intended not only as a place to learn about our natural and cultural heritage but also a venue for promoting sustainable tourism. 

Under Presidential Decree No. 37, the NPF is mandated to promote, encourage, and initiate research and development projects and activities in social sciences and the humanities. NPF’s purpose, among others, is to establish parks and recreation centers for the promotion of sustainable tourism in the Philippines and generate opportunities for creating vibrant and empowered communities. Nayong Pilipino’s original mandate, through Presidential Decree No. 37, has always been the preservation of Filipino culture and heritage, yet it is little known that the mandate also includes implementing welfare programs for social improvement, upliftment, and amelioration. 

We also recognize that many Filipinos have been looking forward to its inevitable resurgence because the Nayong Pilipino was home to countless memories with Filipino families, friends, and visitors in our country. 

However, following the announcement of Republic Act 11469 Bayanihan to Heal as One Act, we must temporarily suspend the implementation of the project and direct all our efforts in averting the public health and economic crisis brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.  

NPF’s land in Entertainment City, Paranaque, has been delegated as the site of one of many new quarantine facilities to be raised in the following months, and the largest in Metro Manila. It was only this January when we announced the vision for the Cultural Park and Creative Hub, which is to be the home to permanent and temporary exhibitions, performances, multimedia content and other activities that would highlight various facets of the country’s cultural heritage.  

Parks and gardens have been considered as spaces of peace and healing, where we can be one with nature and its growth. In the midst of a metropolitan region, parks provide the benefits of nature to our physical, emotional, and mental health. The Nayong Pilipino Foundation Cultural Park and Creative Hub, while initially planned and designed for a different purpose, will therefore still remain true to its mandate by providing a place of healing for the people and the preservation of our heritage. A nation’s heritage includes its people.  As the world continues to battle this pandemic and transmission in the Philippines is still rising, our priority is to ensure the health of our citizens. We have to work together to make sure that everyone has access to testing and treatment, so that we can finally control the contagion that has ravaged our economy for months. 

One day, the future NPF Cultural Park shall be a heritage space for the benefit of the public. We shall stroll along paths in our urban forest and pocket gardens, learn about Philippine flora, and watch children run free in open spaces. A library shall be built as a repository of knowledge products free and open to the public. We shall share meaningful conversations about our future museum with a permanent collection of ethnographic objects. The NPF Cultural Park shall also be a venue for training future cultural leaders. It shall be a place that enshrines inclusivity, creativity, collaboration, and innovation.

When this is all over, we can look forward to a Nayong Pilipino as we had envisioned it: a world-class tour ism hub and a platform for reimagining the nation. That reimagining begins here, as we become the nation that overcomes these great challenges through our uniquely Filipino spirit of Bayanihan.  

Our Nayong Pilipino shall be a Nayon for all.  

Thank you and Mabuhay!

ING celebrates 30th anniversary with cash gift for all customers

Tweet

In celebration of its 30th anniversary in the country, ING Philippines announced a one-time cash gift for its customers this October. 

All ING Save account holders will receive a one-time cash gift that is equivalent to 30% of their net interest earned in the month of October 2020. The Dutch-based financial institution said this is their way of celebrating their pearl anniversary and thanking customers for trusting ING Bank when it launched the first all-digital bank in the Philippines in 2018.

“Filipinos have a strong culture of gifting. Combining that with our 30-year presence in the Philippines, we believe that this cash gift is a simple but meaningful gesture from ING to thank all our clients and customers who have supported us through the years,” ING Philippines country manager Hans Sicat said. 

Sicat added that “The pandemic has certainly made us rethink and adjust our anniversary celebration plans. This is the first of several initiatives we have to celebrate our milestone. We are glad to be able to bring this to our growing retail customer base within a short period time.”

The cash gift works hand-in-hand with the high interest rate of 4% per annum (p.a.) that ING offers on its savings account. Announced last month, all existing ING Save customers before September 1, 2020 can still enjoy 4% interest rate p.a. until December 31, 2020 on their new deposits. New customers from September 1 to December 31, 2020 also get to enjoy 4% interest rate p.a. on all their savings for their first four months.
