‘Malaking tulong ang loading business’: Globe empowers women to see through pandemic

Tweet

Marites Yanzon, a sari-sari store owner, opened her business six years ago using the money she borrowed from a relative to augment her family’s income and finance their day-to-day needs. Marites though continued to struggle after her savings diminished due to health emergencies in the family.

Fast forward to 2020, little did Marites know that she would play a crucial role in reviving the economy amid the quarantine restrictions imposed by the government to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Her sari-sari store business flourished despite the pandemic, thanks to her loading business which helps people cooped up in their homes stay connected with their loved ones and the rest of the world through voice and data services that telecom companies like Globe provide.

Marites is now earning as much as double from her loading business as compared to over half a decade ago. “Malaking tulong po ang loading business. Halos mas mabenta nga po ang load kaysa sa ibang paninda ko. Mas lalong lumakas ang benta ng load ngayong online class na ang mga estudyante kasi yung mga walang WiFi, sa load sila umaasa,” she said.

As the country celebrates National Women’s Month, Globe continues to empower Marites and other women micro-entrepreneurs who play a crucial role in reviving the economy through their small businesses.

“Retailers are a very important part of our value chain, they help us reach and serve the grassroots communities. This Women’s Month, we would like to thank and honor them, especially the women who keep the community stores running and in turn, are helping our economy recover,” said Bernie Llamzon, Globe Executive Vice President for Channel Management.

Globe’s loading business also helped retailers who were affected by past typhoons. In January alone, Globe, through its Community Development Program, provided at least 280 retailers in provinces devastated by Super Typhoons Rolly and Ulysses with livelihood opportunities via a retailer package which includes an LTE phone, SIM starter kit, and initial load worth P1,000.00. About 80 percent of the recipients were women.

Globe supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG), specifically SDG No. 8 which calls for decent work and economic growth as well as SDG No. 9 which emphasizes the roles of infrastructure and innovation as crucial drivers of economic growth and development.

Other showstopper tracks on the album include Celine’s own take on ‘All By Myself’ by Eric Carmen and ‘River Deep Mountain High’ a song created by Phil Spector for Tina Turner, the album title track ‘Falling Into You,’ plus the classic ‘Because You Loved Me’ film theme to ‘Up Close and Personal’ - to name a few.

On ‘Falling Into You,’ Celine worked with the biggest producers of the time including David Foster, Jim Steinman, Humberto Gatica and Ric Wake.

MAPFRE and Philippine Red Cross partner to provide Filipinos with world-class care and insurance during the new normal

Tweet

MANILA, PHILIPPINES -- MAPFRE and the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) have recently launched a strategic partnership, promising to provide Filipinos with world-class care and insurance amidst the challenges of unprecedented times. The partnership leverages on MAPFRE’s years of experience in providing a wide range of insurance solutions (car insurance, home insurance, accident insurance, and much more) and PRC’s expertise in delivering healthcare services to the Filipino people. Sharing the same advocacy of enabling nation-building, MAPFRE and PRC aim to provide more quality services to protect Filipinos everywhere.

MAPFRE Insurance and The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) launched their partnership product – The Prestige Membership Card, on March 3, 2021 at the PRC Headquarters in Ortigas City, Manila. The event was attended by select media partners and PRC Chapters. From L-R: Vanessa Lee Calixto, PRC Director for Fund Generation & Business Development; Pamela Joy Co, MAPFRE Philippines VP & Head of Corporate Global Unit; Elizabeth Savalla, PRC Secretary General; Senator Richard Gordon, PRC Chairman, Tirso Abad, MAPFRE Philippines President and CEO; Lorenzo Luis Liborio Gallardo II, Insular Life Head of Corporate Division; Nino Dau, MAPFRE Philippines, Business Line Unit Head for Miscellaneous Products.

The COVID-19 pandemic has increasingly upended even the most basic aspects of everyday life, making the MAPFRE-PRC partnership timely. In the Philippines, there are only an estimated six doctors for every 10,000 people -- a problem that has only become exasperated as the pandemic strains the nation’s healthcare system. The increased burden on the national healthcare system has left fewer resources for Filipinos seeking medical help in general, heightening the need for additional accessible and affordable healthcare services.

The partnership is indeed timely as it specifically introduces the PRC Prestige Membership Card, a new addition to PRC’s roster of membership cards which is a form of donation. This is the only card that gives its members both life and non-life insurance coverage; with the life insurance also covering death due to COVID. PRC Prestige Membership also offers benefits including:

·        Priority assistance on blood requests

·        Priority access to ambulance services

·        !0% Discount on Safety Training

·        Accidental Death and Disablement Cover worth PhP200,000

·        Unprovoked Murder and Assault Cover worth PhP200,000

·        Term life coverage worth PhP 200,000

·        Fire cash assistance worth PhP 20,000

 

These benefits cover emergencies, sicknesses, disasters, and even death subject to insurance cover terms and conditions. Insurance cover for non-life benefits is automatic upon purchase while life insurance cover must be activated via a microsite (www.helpandprotect.com.ph/prc/).

During the launch on March 3, 2021, which was held at PRC Headquarters in Ortigas and attended by select media partners and PRC Chapters, PRC Chairman and CEO Senator Richard Gordon hailed the partnership as a crucial step in extending essential services to the most vulnerable Filipinos. “More than just allowing MAPFRE to extend their reach, the partnership also lets the PRC fulfill its mission of helping those who need it the most.” Additionally, the partnership is emphasized as a good way for availing corporations and individuals to further their corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This will also strengthen PRC as an organization, providing Filipinos with an additional safety net for their health and security.

“This partnership is very timely as the COVID-19 situation stressed the importance of prioritizing one’s health. By collaborating with the Philippine Red Cross, we are able to reach and provide protection to more Filipinos through the non-life and life coverages from MAPFRE and Insular Life,” shared Tirso Abad, President and CEO of MAPFRE Insurance Corporation.

Together, MAPFRE and the PRC urge every Filipino to support the move towards a better and healthier Philippines. Though the partnership is just one step in the journey, it is a necessary one nonetheless.
