OPPO, Save the Children Philippines Provides Support to Public School Students for Online Distance Learning

OPPO, in partnership with international children’s organization Save the Children Philippines, has recently completed the turnover of 100 brand new sets of OPPO A12e smartphones, Rock Space Torch Bluetooth Earphones, and special online learning kits to select students from public schools in Navotas City, namely Tanza Elementary School, Tanza National High School, Bagumbayan Elementary School, and Navotas National High School.

Save the Children Philippines’ turnover of donations to the recipients in Navotas City.


Parents attended to claim the A12e smartphones, Rock Space Torch Bluetooth Earphones, and online learning kits.

 

 Filipinos on Online Distance Learning

Securing better access to online distance learning is challenging, especially for those who have lesser means to provide for themselves. This is a common concern among the parents and students of Teacher Claudine of Tanza Elementary School, a Special Education (SpEd) teacher with six years of experience. 

“Nagka-virtual orientation kami ngayon kung paano mangyayari ang modular learning…You really have to do everything and explore all means. Hindi ito normal na may problema lang, may pandemya kasi,” Teacher Claudine shared. “Sa SpEd [students] kasi they need immediate feedback. Kailangan din nila ng individualized na approach. Pero ang parents hindi sila trained to do that. Kung hindi ganoon ka-strong ang foundation and follow-up sa bahay, magiging malaki ang regression.” she added.


Teacher Claudine’s students were some of the selected recipients of the OPPO A12e smartphones and Rock Space Torch Bluetooth Earphones for online distance learning which are useful tools in helping the SpEd students to get the attention and support needed while doing online classes.


Another true experience was shared by Nanay Rosalinda and her daughter Filchriz, who has been diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay. Filchriz is one of the recipients of the OPPO A12e and online learning kit including pencils, pens, crayons for her art classes. “Hindi man niya masabi na miss niya ang school, minsan kapag pinalabas siya dumidiretso [sa daan] papunta sa school,” said Nanay Rosalinda. At home, she mentioned that they do not have a table for Filchriz to study while doing the online classes but the family is doing their best to provide what they could for her to continue classes despite the pandemic situation.

Aside from the smartphone and Bluetooth earphone donations, OPPO and Save the Children also set up a fundraising initiative through the Back-To-School campaign, which started last August. The effort resulted in funds to purchase more online learning kits for other students in need. Each learning kit includes art materials and basic safety and sanitation kits, like alcohol and face masks, for the kids.

“With the joint efforts of OPPO, Save the Children Philippines, and the kind-hearted Filipinos who have participated in this fundraising initiative, we were able to extend help to students most in need of support. We are optimistic that together we can do more for everyone if we continue to band together and lend a helping hand to each other as we overcome these trying times,” OPPO Philippines Marketing Director Raymond Xia.

Mobile app Royal Canin Club launches exclusive webinar series on pet nutrition and ownership amid the new normal

As a pet owner, access to credible healthcare information is essential, especially for those who are currently stuck in their homes. It is during these times that pet owners turn to online sites and seek convenient ways to provide proper care for their loyal pets, only to be met with dizzying amounts of information — sometimes conflicting. In response to this, Royal Canin Philippines brings valuable pet information safely to Filipino pet owners through the launch of its online educational series.

Royal Canin introduces its exclusive webinar series through its mobile application, Royal Canin Club, providing Filipino pet owners access to in-depth and engaging discussions with the company’s in-house veterinarians and partners on proper pet healthcare and nutrition. 

For November, topics will focus on two important areas relevant to pet owners: Tailored Nutrition for Different Breeds and The New Normal Life of Pets.

The first webinar, which will happen on November 27, 2PM,  will focus on pet food nutrition and the importance of tailor-made diets for different kinds of breeds. The discussion aims to educate pet owners on the unique characteristics of pets and how this affects their behaviors and various nutritional needs

The second webinar, scheduled on December 4, 2PM, will discuss insights and tips on how to help pets adjust to life in the post-lockdown world. It will touch on the proper diet, exercise, and activities of pets at home, as well as ideal vet visit schedules and how-tos in introducing a new pet to the family. With options still limited due to quarantine restrictions and pet owners being cut from seeing their veterinarians regularly, the webinars aim to help owners plan activities and routines fit for their pets’ lifestyles in their homes.

Interested pet owners may join the webinar series by downloading the Royal Canin Club mobile application, available on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store, where they can sign up to get the invitation and exclusive Zoom link invite to the webinars. The signup form will be available in the mobile application.

Recently, Royal Canin launched the Royal Canin Club mobile app in its commitment to provide access to credible pet healthcare information online, as well as bringing a community of pet owners, pet shops, veterinary clinics, and pet breeders together through various rewards systems and engaging activities in the platform. In line with the brand’s thrust of providing the best tailored nutrition for pets, the app is a complementary tool for both new and loyal Royal Canin patrons who strive only for the best, loving experiences for their furry friends.

As of November 2020, thousands of Filipino pet owners have already downloaded the mobile application and received their special gift sets, rewards and vouchers.

“Since launching the Royal Canin Club, we’ve seen a lot of pet owners download and engage with the brand for pet healthcare and nutrition information through the mobile application. We’re happy to see that Filipino pet parents are eager to provide the best care for their pets, and are keen on credible information to empower them in their decision-making,” said Adriann Eusebio, Country Director of Royal Canin Philippines. “Through these webinars, we hope to further be of service to our community and provide more insightful discussions about our loyal pets during these times. We, at Royal Canin, are excited to bring more informative and engaging activities in our platform, as well as exciting rewards and treats for our pets.”
