Globe and Microsoft Partner for a Learning Session With 21st Century Educators

Tweet

Globe, in partnership with Microsoft held an E-skwela Partner-Led Learning Session on January 22, 2021. Entitled Office 365 for Education: Learning Essentials for 21st Century Educators, the webinar was an online effort of Globe and Microsoft to help partners in the academe be informed and gain access to tools that would provide quality learning experience to their students.

 

The webinar shed light on the current difficulties and challenges faced by educators and learners—one of which is the change of mindset and attitudes of learners due to the absence of face-to-face interaction. Mark Arthur Abalos, Segment Head for Education of One Globe Education, mentioned that virtual classes have caused a noticeable shift in student behavior. And as such, Globe is committed to help educators understand and adjust to these changes.

 

Fides Ricasa, Microsoft Chief Partner Officer of Microsoft Philippines, has pointed out that the partnership with Globe has helped in providing tools that would enable educators and students to efficiently adapt to the new way of education.

 

Adapting these tools require effective training. In his segment of the webinar, Roland Ruben, Training and Support Supervisor at Center for Innovative Learning Programs of De La Salle University - Dasmarinas, emphasized the importance of training educators on how to use these digital technologies, alongside the physical equipment they use for teaching.

 

Paolo Balinas, Enterprise Manager for Education of Microsoft Philippines, stressed during the E-skwela partner Led Session,  the importance of the four pillars in education to move forward and rise above today’s environment. These four are Leadership and Policy, Modern Teaching and Learning, Intelligent Environment, and Technology Blueprint —all of which Globe and Microsoft continue to provide to help institutions across the country.

 

The pandemic has indeed caused a sudden shift in the way things work in the education industry.  It has pushed institutions to enhance what they have used in the past and to innovate with the use of new technology. In this situation, Globe and Microsoft are partners of the educational system in providing the proper tools, training, and strategies.

 

Globe remains committed to helping Philippine educational institutions adjust, adapt, and rise above new challenges —as education remains a vital pillar in the development of this nation.

 

Speakers included Segment Head for Education of One Globe Education, Mark Arthur Abalos; Microsoft Chief Partner Officer of Microsoft Philippines, Fides Amor Ricasa; Training and Support Supervisor at Center for Innovative Learning Programs of De La Salle University - Dasmarinas, Roland Lorenzo Ruben; and Enterprise Manager for Education of Microsoft Philippines, Paolo Balinas.

Queen C Takes the Extra Mile to Strong Immunity : Take care of yourself, others, Catriona Gray says

Tweet

As new challenges arise, we need to keep ourselves in our best shape to face these obstacles. Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray started taking the steps she needs to keep her best foot forward each day. 

For Cat, putting yourself first before others does not always mean you are selfish. Sometimes, it also means that you only want to create the best version of yourself to give your best contributions to the community. 

“Keeping my heart, mind, and body healthy with exercise, staying hydrated, eating healthy, and having enough sleep are some of the best ways I appreciate myself. Add in a small dose of Santé Daily-C, I can take on everyday challenges with strong immunity and fewer worries,” she said. 

Cat said she can never go wrong taking extra steps with Santé Daily-C, especially when it now has a 750mg variant in vegetable capsules. The Santé Daily-C is Catriona’s go-to vitamin C supplement since it is non-acidic and gentle in the stomach during digestion. It has a pH range of 7.00 to 8.00, making it safe for daily consumption. 

It gives her an extra level of protection since it contains 843.64mg of Sodium Ascorbate to help prevent and treat scurvy and vitamin C deficiency. It also provides enhanced iron absorption, collagen formation, and extra aid in speeding the wound healing process, helping her have the safeguard she needs to make the most of her days with a bright smile and the right mindset. 

“Last year, the pandemic helped us realize how important it is to keep our bodies fit and our immune system strong. Santé Daily-C helped me become mentally healthy since I know to myself that I am doing my part and my best to fight off the dangers of these trying times,” said Cat. 

With a healthy lifestyle and Santé Daily-C strengthening her body and immune system, she spends time with her loved ones, helps her the community, follow her passions, and simply do mundane things and hobbies energized and without worries. 

Santé Daily C is just one of the many other organic health and wellness products offered by Santé. Known for its flagship, Santé Barley™, the company has developed a comprehensive selection of everyday barley-based products. They are made with organic barley grass, as certified by BioGro, New Zealand’s leading organic certification agency.

Music video for debut single, “The Light,” rakes in thousands of views: BUZZ FOR P-POP BOY GROUP ON THE RISE ‘BGYO’ CONTINUES TO SPREAD

Tweet

P-Pop has found its bright new star as new boy group BGYO’S music video for its debut single “The Light” continues to rake in thousands of views and positive reviews following the group’s grand launch.

The music video already has a combined total of over 700,000 views from its official YouTube channel and Facebook page, which continue to grow.

Composed of Gelo, Akira, JL, Mikki, and Nate, the group was initially known as SHA Boys, which first got TV audiences and netizens’ admiration as the group made the rounds of television shows. Their “It’s Showtime” performance has over a million views and earned praises for its outstanding precision.

As the music video premiered at the launch, the group got the chance to show off their skills once more. For the boys, it was a result of many hours of hard work.

“All the hardwork was worth it, now that I’m seeing the video for the first time,” Akira said.

For group leader Gelo, it was the culmination of their long and daunting journey. “Nakakaiyak yung Makita mo yung journey naming leading to this,” he said.

Meanwhile, fan energy for the group was strongly felt at the launch as they stormed social media with tweets that showered the five young men with praises for their talent and refreshing presence in the music scene.

Rosa Diaz said, “Those vocals and choreo. Plus points their visuals! Complete package. ABS-CBN hit a jackpot here.”

"Madaming ibubuga. Yung charisma nila sa stage (ung swag) andoon. Their visuals are all superb. Good voice too. Hindi ko makalimutan ung sa Asap! Doon ako unang naamaze sa kanila. How well they performed despite their struggle w/ their lapels," @poreveryoung posted.

With an aim to create music that resonates with the youth today, BGYO’s debut single “The Light” is a song about empowerment, hope, and self-love.

Among those inspired by the song’s relevance to the times was Jaycel Ann Sumayod, who commented on YouTube, “I am really amazed that their first debut song is all about not giving up in chasing our dreams not the romance drama song that most artists release. For me it is very timely most especially we are all in this pandemic and this online class really give us a struggle but we must be brave at ipaglaban ang ating mga pangarap. Kudos to BGYO and the whole team who planned all of this especially ABS-CBN. You all really work hard for this success! Thank you! Stan BGYO! Stream.”

X- LEI참 commented, “This song is so Lit. Sana meron dito yung "Song of the Year" at "Artist of the year." Can't wait to see more about "BGYO."

BGYO member Mikki said that they have plans to translate the song into different languages so that fans in other countries can fully appreciate it.

Following the group’s exclusive launch, BGYO made their much-awaited appearance on “ASAP Natin ‘To,” where they performed their single for the first time to a larger television audience.

Fans who were unable to catch the launch have a chance to catch it as it airs and streams on February 7 on A2Z at 4PM, Kapamilya Channel and Kapamilya Online Live starting at 11PM, TFC, and iWantTFC.

This Valentine, show some love to yourself by learning more about health and self-care.

Philippine King of Talk Boy Abunda

To help the public become more aware of the dangers of stroke, its prevention and the importance of getting emergency help, Angels Initiative and Stroke Society of the Philippines enlisted the help of the Philippine King of Talk Boy Abunda through an online event called Stroke 101: Knowing the basics of stroke is a way of loving oneself on February 11, 2021, 7 p.m. via the Stroke Society of the Philippines official Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SSPFBPage/).

Because of its urgent nature, Angels Initiative and Stroke Society of the Philippines urge the public to rush a person exhibiting stroke symptoms to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment.

With TV icon Boy Abunda’s engaging and in-depth way of discussing important matters, the medical community hopes to empower the public with essential knowledge about stroke and inspire people to take better care of their health as well as of their loved ones’.

                               

Joining him are neurologists Dr. Romulo Esagunde and Dr. Maria Socorro Sarfati to help shed light on what stroke is, its types and symptoms, what one can do to minimize its risk factors, and what you must do when you or a loved one is experiencing the signs of stroke.

Angels Initiative is a global healthcare initiative endorsed by the World Stroke Organization (WSO) and European Stroke Organization (ESO) to increase the number of acute stroke centers and optimize the quality of stroke treatment in these centers while Stroke Society of the Philippines is an organization of physicians, nurses and other allied health care personnel who have special interest in stroke care, education and research.
