Embrace a healthy lifestyle with New PROVITAL Immuna Plus

As we age, we realize how truly important it is to invest in our health. Boosting one’s immunity has become more imperative at a time when there is an increased threat in people’s physical well-being, especially as you age. As such, older people tend to develop more underlying, long-term health problems.¹

Health as investment

Good health is one of the best things we can give ourselves. Mead Johnson’s PROVITAL Immuna Plus is inviting Filipinos to invest in a healthier lifestyle and help enhance their immunity. PROVITAL Immuna Plus is an adult milk brand with Yeast Beta-glucan, a key immune-boosting ingredient which is clinically proven to reduce symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) by 64%².

“The new normal has become a wake-up call for all of us to really value our health and a strong immune system. This is why Mead Johnson is proud to introduce PROVITAL Immuna Plus while encouraging more Filipinos to embrace a healthier lifestyle,” explained Aleli Arcilla, President & General Manager, Reckitt Philippines. “Our older population are some of the most at risk and vulnerable when there are serious health threats. The good thing is that they can do something about it by taking extra good care of themselves through proper nutrition, balanced diet and exercise.”

PROVITAL Immuna Plus has Triple Immune Protection benefits, formulated with yeast beta-glucan, scientifically proven to help activate immune response to fight against infections and colds². It also contains Selenium and Vitamin C, powerful antioxidants that help regulate immune function and strengthen defense^3,4.  It is also a High Source of Vitamins A, C, E and Zinc, which help promote normal immune function. All these nutrients help activate and strengthen the body’s natural defenses so that people 50 years old and above can live their life to the fullest.

Celebrity wellness inspirations

When it comes to aging gracefully and living a healthy lifestyle, many of us look up to celebrities for inspiration. Actress Dawn Zulueta, host-news personality Suzi Entrata-Abrera, and lifestyle influencer Chuckie Dreyfus are just three of the personalities who demonstrate that looking good and feeling good requires a holistic approach. From exuding positivity to staying fit and active, they also incorporate PROVITAL Immuna Plus in their daily diet. 

Dawn, Suzie, and Chucky, recently started sharing on Instagram how PROVITAL Immuna Plus helps enhance their lives.

“The fact is, as we age, our immune health also weakens. The pandemic brought on uncertain times, so it's good to be reminded to keep our immunity in check,” shared Dawn on her Instagram post. “Despite the pandemic, I know I can count on Provital Immuna Plus to help enhance my immunity so that I can start living like a pro.”

“We need to approach health and wellness in an integrated manner. Just like Dawn, Suzi and Chuckie, drinking PROVITAL Immuna Plus twice a day while eating healthy and keeping an active lifestyle will give us a strong fighting chance against life-threatening diseases,” added Arcilla.

Globe advises customers to protect their data to avoid being victimized by fraudsters

Tweet

Amid challenging times, the incidence of getting easy money even through illegal means becomes attractive. Globe issues this warning for customers to stay vigilant and raise awareness on how to protect one's data to prevent being victims of fraud. 

A modus called “SIM swap scam” is the last step carried out by scammers, in order to take over an individual’s financial accounts -- bank account details, trading information, e-wallet and/or credit cards. 

This modus often involves a victim who’s been long targeted for the scam.  The fraudster has invested time to gather bank account details, email addresses, online credentials, personal facts and identification together with the mobile number registered with the bank for sending a one-time password (OTP).  The last leg will be to take over the SIM of the mobile number registered for the OTP sending. 

Globe urged its customers to use strong and unique passwords for their digital accounts, change it regularly, and use other authentication methods such as security keys, applications, or device prompts.

Globe advises its customers not to share personal information such as birth dates, anniversary dates, TIN, school or company ID, passport details and other information on social media, as these may compromise a customer’s safety.  Scammers and fraudsters may get the answer to your security questions from these details.

Scammers may also call pretending to be telco or bank representatives requiring some personal information and bank details in exchange for some offers or perks.  Bank statements, utility bills, delivery packages, and other documents that contain one’s personal information disposed of in an unsecured manner can also be a source of identity theft.

Here are the indications one may have been victimized by a SIM swap scam. There is a sudden loss of mobile signal. Notifications of so-called log-in attempts or activities are also received via email which the victim did not perform.

Here’s what you can do if a SIM swap occurs:

      ●       Immediately change password/PIN of bank and digital accounts

●       Monitor digital and financial accounts

●       Call Globe (211) or visit the nearest Globe Store to temporarily deactivate the line

●       Inform the concerned bank about the incident and report to concerned authorities

Globe Postpaid users may go to the new GlobeOne app under “Account Requests” or call 211 to request temporary line disconnection.  Both postpaid and prepaid customers may go to the nearest Globe Store to recover their mobile number and get a SIM replacement. 

Globe is also implementing stricter measures to prevent unauthorized SIM change.  For replacement of lost SIM, this includes 24-hour SIM reactivation to allow a stronger customer verification.  Also, a notarized affidavit of loss is mandatory patterned with the banks which require the same document when replacing lost cards and other financial records.

IKEA officially opens online store to the Filipinos, operates 24/7

Tweet

IKEA officially opens its online store to Filipino consumers. The online store will now operate 24/7.

“After several weeks of learning from our test-run, we are glad that we are now accessible to more Filipinos,” said Georg Platzer, Store Manager of IKEA Pasay City. “We are very excited to be part of the lives of the many people in the Philippines and share in their dreams of a better life at home.”

Last September, IKEA went on a test-run for its online store, where it opened up online shopping with limited capacity. This was to test all operational and technical processes and ensure an enjoyable and hassle-free online shopping experience.

Best buys online

IKEA’s most popular items during the test run came from the home storage and workspace categories. Additionally, lower-priced home décor items like the KUPONG Alarm clock (PHP90), FEJKA Artificial potted plant (PHP290), and BONDIS Wall clock (PHP590) were some of the most added to cart items online.

Children’s items also remained popular among online visitors and shoppers, with items like the small KRAMIG Soft Toy (PHP200), the functional TROFAST Storage box (PHP150), and the fully-stocked DUKTIG Play kitchen (PHP5,990) getting added to online carts.

Ready to add to cart?

To shop online, customers must first create an IKEA website account, which is different from their IKEA Family membership information. After that, online shoppers can choose what products they want, add to cart, and then proceed to check out. IKEA accepts payments via major credit cards, GCash, and installments via BDO.

Delivery options

IKEA offers three delivery options: truck, parcel, and click and collect. Orders that do not exceed more than 30 kg in weight and 1.8 meters in length and height will be considered as parcel orders. If an order exceeds more than 30 kg, and the height and length are more than 1.8 meters, it will be considered as a truck delivery order. Online shoppers can also choose to pick up their orders in select collection points

Truck delivery orders are currently limited to Metro Manila only while parcel deliveries extend to the greater Metro Manila area including Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, parts of Quezon (up to Lucena), Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Bataan, and Subic.

IKEA Family

To make the most out of the IKEA shopping experience, Platzer urged shoppers to sign up for IKEA Family to begin earning points from their purchases. This also sets them up to enjoy in-store only perks once the Pasay City store opens later this year. To date, there are over 221K IKEA Family Members. Sign up to IKEA Family here.
