Shopee, Shopee Xpress partner with brands and charities to aid Taal evacuees


The continued unrest of the Taal Volcano forced over 1,000 Filipino families to evacuate to nearby communities in Batangas last March. With Alert Level 3 still in place, these families continue to spend their days in evacuation centers across the region.

As part of its commitment to better the lives of the underserved, Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, partnered with several brands and charity organizations to provide aid for Taal evacuees.

Shopee Philippines Director Martin Yu said, “As we remain steadfast in our commitment to be a force for good, especially in times when Filipinos need it the most, Shopee will work closely with our partners to help provide immediate relief to the evacuees. Our thoughts are with those affected and we hope that the situation in Taal will recover soon for these families to be able to return to their homes.”

Together with Shopee, partner brands such as Universal Robina Corporation, Colgate, and Monde Nissin, donated essentials such as drinking water and food items to affected residents. Through the help of its Shopee Xpress fleet and volunteers, Shopee transported and coursed donations through the ABS-CBN Foundation for the latter’s ongoing on-ground efforts.

These Shopee Xpress volunteers also helped collate and distribute potable water donated by the Luzon Clean Water Development to evacuation centers in Batangas.

Shopee also invites users to donate to those affected by the taal eruption and other emergencies through its partner charities found on the app.

Users simply need to:

  1. Head to the Shopee app homepage

  2. Click Load, Bills, and Travel

  3. Click E-vouchers

  4. Click Charity

  5. Choose and purchase the e-voucher of their preferred charity

Users can also contribute to the ABS-CBN Foundation’s on-ground efforts through Shopee’s Scan-to-donate feature. Just scan ABS-CBN Foundation’s QR code, choose the donation amount, and donate via ShopeePay.

Careline Wow Brow Liner newest shades Caramel and Espresso

Need to catch up on eyebrow makeup trends this year? Thanks to TikTok trends and countless tutorials on YouTube, 2022 will see us leveling up our makeup skills, most especially our eyebrow game.

A quick refresher from Careline lists down four brow trends that you’ll be fawning over in 2022! Read on and try them out because, no doubt, our eyebrows can make a huge difference when it comes to our overall glam look.

The natural brow. For this look, less is definitely more. It's as simple as grabbing a brush and running it through the brow while still achieving a fresh look and clean makeup. Luckily, Careline can do that trick with its Wow Brow Liner! This liner is a dual-ended eyebrow pencil that features an ultra-fine tip that glides effortlessly through hair for soft and natural-looking eyebrows. Introducing its newest Caramel shade, you can easily achieve a natural and stunning eyebrow makeup! First, brush your brow hairs upward so you can easily identify the sparse areas where you want to draw an outline. Then use this shade to lightly define your brows. This liner is long-wearing and smudge-proof too so you can make your brows stand out all day long!

The pretty soft arch.  There’s no denying that sculpted eyebrows work wonders to complement your face shape and define your features. You can master this beauty trend with the new Careline Wow Brow Shade - Espresso! You can use this shade to outline the desired shape of your brow and bring your arched brow to life. Keep in mind, it’s best to focus on sparse areas so you can avoid overdrawn arched brow.

The full and fluffy brow. This eyebrow makeup trend is loved by many women because it works perfectly for all brow hair shapes and types. If you have an unruly brow, you can use the Careline Wow Brow Almond shade to achieve a defined and fluffy brow. Using this shade, simply follow the natural shape of your brow and lightly pencil a line underneath your brow, then fill in your brow by following the direction of your brow hairs, using short strokes, going upwards and rounding off the arch.

The feathery, sculpted brow. In terms of brow texture, the feathery, lifted, and sculpted brow hair strokes is the next big thing for the eyebrow makeup trend. To achieve this look, you can use the Careline Wow Brow Cocoa shade and fill in any sparse spots. You can also define the top of the brow a little bit until you get a feathery look. Aside from this shade giving you effortlessly arched brows, the Careline Wow Brow Liner also contains ingredients that have a softening and soothing effect on skin to keep your brows effortlessly and ultra-fine!

Groom your brows into perfection with these makeup trends using the Careline Wow Brow Liner and its newest Caramel and Espresso shade for only PHP165!

Solane begins roll-out of more affordable Solane Sakto Nationwide

Leading LPG solutions provider Solane now provides the safe, trusted, and reliable Solane LPG in an affordable and portable size in select regions across the country. Also known as Solane Sakto, the new Solane cylinder that holds 1.4 kg of LPG gives customers easier access to safe kitchen fuel in place of less sustainable charcoal or dangerous illegal alternatives.

“Solane has been a household name for many years, and the brand has always stood for safety, quality, and reliability. With Solane Sakto, we hope to give the same experience to more Filipinos so they can enjoy their time in their kitchens without the risks that come with illegal and less sustainable alternatives,” said Tonito Gonzalez, Solane LPG Chief Executive Officer.

Solane Sakto was launched in Iloilo, Antique, Aklan, Capiz, Samar, and Mindanao in 2021 and will soon be available in select areas in SOCSARGEN, Davao, Marinduque and Mindoro in the next few months. The company plans to expand the tank’s availability to more locations throughout the rest of the year. Aside from being a portable kitchen fuel fit for outdoor cooking and other spaces, Solane Sakto also offers an affordable solution to the increasing price of LPG and oil products. It sure can make cooking even more convenient.

“As the pandemic happened, more people started using the kitchen, and this involves younger cooks and even children accompanying their parents as meals are prepared,” said Gonzalez. “The kitchen has become a venue for a lot of activity, including members who have not always been used to operating around the kitchen. Solane makes sure that the kitchen remains to be a safe place for the family when it comes to fuel.”

While availability of Solane Sakto is limited for the time being, customers are still reminded to ensure that their Solane tanks are legitimate to avoid risks of explosions from illegal or counterfeit products. Solane tanks carry the important markings that certify their registration, the specific standards used, the date the cylinder was tested, as well as the tare weight in kilograms which is around 13 to 15 kilos for AS or de salpak, 11.5 to 14 kilos for POL or de roskas, and 4.1 kg for Solane Sakto. Genuine Solane Sakto LPG tanks also come with a biodegradable seal.

To order Verified Solane LPG for a safe home, send a message to 0918-887-5555 or the Solane Facebook page, or place your order through the Solane app.
