Ready to scale-up your business? Ship your parcels in as fast as 2-days in Cebu, CDO and Davao via J&T Express

Business owners are in for a treat with the fastest shipping offer by J&T Express. The new Business Parcel (BP) service can now deliver items on selected locations nationwide in as fast as two days, while skipping ceiling-high shipping rates.

Standard inter-island delivery transactions take three to five days lead time in the Philippines, placing both businesses and consumers to a disadvantage. “When transactions are slow-paced, prospects for business growth are not maximized. At the same time, consumers miss out on the best quality of service they deserve. We designed the Business Parcel service to bridge these gaps,” Ms. Zoe Chi, J&T Express Philippines Vice President and Branding Head said.

In keeping with its commitment to help bolster Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), J&T Express is offering its BP service at an affordable price. ”We want to remove frictions that hamper small businesses from scaling up. Through our services and J&Ts extensive coverage, we hope to help MSMEs thrive and expand.” Chi added. J&T Express has the widest geographical reach in the Philippines with over 1,000 branches and warehouses nationwide.

J&T Express continues to expand its fleet of trucks and other transportation modes including land, air and sea freight in order to serve more locations, especially hard-to-reach areas. J&T Express’ consistent reliable service has earned it the Gold Trustmark Award in the Reader’s Digest 24th Annual Trusted Brands Awards held at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel on April 8, 2022. This is the second year J&T Express has received such prestigious recognition in the same category.

On what more lies ahead for the international courier and express delivery giant, Ms. Zoe Chi assures more is yet to come, “This is an exciting year for J&T Express as we have a lot in the pipeline for our regular and business customers. This year’s outlook for the local business industry is good, and we at J&T are all ready for it.”

The Business Parcel (BP) service is applicable for Walk-in, Door-to-Door (D2D) Free Pickup Service and VIP clients. Maximum acceptable weight is 5.0 kg only.

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

Tweet

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.

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.
