With Christmas just around the corner, J&T Express ensures that shopping for essentials and gifts alike for friends and family won’t be hampered by the pandemic with their premium delivery services.

Globe, Caritas PH provide education and livelihood support to marginalized communities

Tweet

To help address gaps in education and livelihood across the country, Globe extended seed funding together with digital tools, and skills training for 500 disadvantaged youth across the country through its partnership with Caritas Philippines.

The support is aimed at improving student performance and instilling micro-entrepreneurship skills among junior and senior high school students in 10 communities considered priority areas of Pilipinas Kontra Gutom and where Caritas Philippines dioceses have available community partners.

 

These are located in:

●        Mt. Province, Quezon, and Camarines Sur in Luzon;

●        Capiz and Negros Oriental in Visayas; and

●        Lanao del Sur, Basilan, Sulu, and 2 communities in Cotabato in Mindanao

 

Globe’s support is coursed through Caritas Philippine’s Alay Kapwa Educational Assistance program and Self Help Groups (SHeG) program.

 

The Alay Kapwa Educational Assistance program intends to increase the percentage of graduates from poor communities by helping academically challenged youth to graduate from junior and senior high school through accompaniment and tutorial services. Selected students will also receive devices plus initial data packages for use in distance learning. They will also be given access to Globe’s Digital Thumbprint Program workshops to increase awareness and deepen their understanding of digital citizenship and cybersafety.

 

Likewise, Globe provides the beneficiaries with necessary funding and skills training support via SHeG. The community association channels small regular savings contributions to create a micro-lending business among members. The program includes capacity building in terms of leadership abilities, skills training in micro-entrepreneurship using digital tools, and one-time capital of P10,000 to start their own business.

 

“Globe continues to provide holistic interventions through multi-sectoral partnerships.  We would like to contribute to an inclusive recovery from this pandemic by providing access to relevant tools, skills training, and ways to enable the disadvantaged sector so they can benefit from the gains of a digital economy,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe Chief Sustainability Officer and SVP for Corporate Communications.

 

As the country experiences high rates of unemployment, students and parents alike are more anxious about life after graduation. Addressing both education and livelihood needs enable members of these communities to have a long-term and sustainable approach in fighting poverty through supporting their education and preparing them to be part of our economy through livelihood capacity-building.

 

“Our commitment has always been to support the marginalized communities' social transformation. The pandemic has posed greater challenges to our brothers and sisters which left them struggling to acquire quality education and decent livelihood. With this, we are intensifying our efforts to help the most vulnerable communities by providing holistic interventions that can help them thrive despite these challenging times.” said Fr. Tony Labiao, Jr., Executive Secretary, Caritas Philippines.

 

As the back-to-school season rolls around, instead of gearing for in-school classes, students maintain class instruction at home through distance learning due to the health crisis.

 

However, even before the pandemic,  three different multi-country assessments spearheaded by the World Bank (WB) presented poor learning results among students in the Philippines, with more than 80% of them falling below minimum levels of proficiency expected for the respective grades.^[1]

 

Along with education, employment and livelihood are among the sectors most affected by the current situation. The latest Labor Force Survey of the Philippine Statistics Office pegged the country’s unemployment rate in June 2021 at 7.7%, with the first half of the year averaging at 8.1%.^[2]

 

The lack of livelihood affects hunger incidence especially in low-income families. The latest Social Weather Stations survey conducted last June 2021 shows that 13.6% or an estimated 3.4 million families experienced involuntary hunger – hunger due to lack of food to eat – at least once in the past three months.^[3]

 

The company strongly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly UN SDG No. 4 on the provision of quality education and UN SDG No. 8 to ensure decent work and sustainable economic growth. Globe is committed to upholding the United Nations Global Compact principles and contribution to 10 UN SDGs.

Living With It Sweetly: Healthy Ways to Control Your Diabetes

Tweet

Diabetes has been a bitter pill to swallow, particularly for countries affected by the rising number of cases every year. In 2019, approximately 463 million adults (20-79 years) were living with this chronic metabolic disease, characterized by an increase in blood sugar levels; by 2045, this will rise to 700 million, according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF).

A similar trend is also happening in the Philippines. In 2020, deaths due to Type 2 diabetes mellitus or adult diabetes ranked fourth at 37,265 after heart disease (99,680), cancer (62,289), and cerebrovascular diseases (59,736), as revealed by Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) data. 

However, having diabetes does not mean you can never have a healthy, everyday life.  

 

Working closely with your doctor can help you manage diabetes, and you can also start focusing on some critical changes in your daily life. Here are some ways to manage your blood sugar levels, as listed by the Department of Health (DOH).  

 

Keep yourself active. Despite being inside your home most of the time due to existing lockdowns and community quarantines, staying active is crucial to help control your blood sugar levels. A little cardio can be a big help, no need to push yourself to do hardcore workouts. 

 

Workout at least three times a week for at least 30 minutes each session. Not only can it help you bring down your blood sugar levels, but it can also help you lose some extra pounds, increase your endorphins (happy hormones) and ease stress.  

 

Manage your stress. Getting stressed when you have diabetes will do you no good. When you’re stressed, your blood sugar levels go up. That is why it pays to relieve your stress by doing hobbies that relax you and doing some breathing exercises or yoga. 

 

Quit Smoking. Smoking is harmful to your health, especially if you have diabetes. In addition, it may trigger other health problems, such as heart disease, eye disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Smoking also can make it harder to exercise. If you’re a smoker, consult with your doctor about the ways to quit. 

 

Maintain normal blood pressure. Since hypertension puts a person at high risk of cardiovascular disease, primarily associated with diabetes, reliable blood pressure monitoring and control is highly advised. Seek your doctor’s advice on proper management. 

 

Eat healthy. Eating healthy food is crucial when you have diabetes. Do not skip or delay meals since it causes fluctuations in blood sugar levels. It also pays to eat more fiber-rich foods like vegetables and cut down on salt. Drinking alcohol, on the other hand, must be avoided. Dietary guidelines recommend no more than two drinks for men and not more than one drink per day for women. 

 

‘Eating Sweets? Still Possible’ 

When it comes to eating sweets, it is advised to avoid simple sugars like cakes and chocolates. But it does not mean that you can’t let anything sweet pass your lips again. Instead, have complex carbohydrates like rice, pasta, cereals, and fresh fruits.  

 

You can use some alternative sweeteners now available in nearby drugstores nationwide. For instance, Santé, a premier natural and organic health and wellness product and services provider,  offers Sweet Via, a sweetener from a natural source with amazing health benefits. 

 

Sweet Via is made with stevia, a natural substitute for sugar, derived from the leaves of a small perennial green shrub. Anyone who suffers from blood sugar disorders or who needs to limit their caloric intake should know about the remarkable properties of stevia. It is an accepted sugar substitute that can contribute to weight management and improved caloric control.[1] 

 

Aside from stevia, Sweet Via contains Inulin, a natural soluble dietary fiber from a chicory plant that promotes digestive health. It acts as food for good bacteria in the colon. Studies also suggest that Inulin aids in keeping blood sugar levels low.[2] 

 

Free from artificial additives, Sweet Via turns sweets into a treat without the guilt. It is also a perfect sweetener for not only for people with diabetes but also perfect for weight watchers and those who want to cut down on their sugar or calorie intake.  

 

Sweet Via is now available in leading drugstores nationwide and online shopping platforms, such as Shopee and Lazada. This product comes in a box containing 10 sachets. Each sachet contains 1g of the sweetener, equivalent to 2 teaspoons of sugar. It instantly sweetens any beverage and food recipe minus the guilt and harmful effects of too much sugar. 

 

This product is just one of the many other organic health and wellness products offered by Santé, known for developing a comprehensive selection of everyday barley-based products. They are designed to improve people’s quality of life so they can live more and do more.
