PascualLab extends the love to less fortunate children via World Vision’s CHOSEN

Tweet

After marking its 75th anniversary with the theme #PascualLove, and manifesting it via the company’s CSR initiatives, PascualLab renews its ties with charitable donations organization World Vision to help less fortunate children in Malabon. A virtual MOA signing was mounted last week to seal the partnership.

PascualLab and World Vision join hands anew to help less fortunate children in Malabon via CHOSEN

Through the World Vision program CHOSEN which enables children in select communities to choose their sponsors, PascualLab and its employees were able to help over 75 children in 2021, via the sponsorship of over 140 PascualLab employees.

To continue sharing the #PascualLove and helping these children, one of the Philippines’ most well-loved pharmaceutical companies ¹ and its employees once again joined hands with World Vision.

This year, most employees are renewing their sponsorships, to help children in need of educational support and health essentials.

PascualLab VP for Corporate HROD and DSCC Mia Pascual Cenzon sign the MOA with World Vision's National Director Rommel Fuerte 

According to VP for Corporate HROD and DSCC Mia Pascual Cenzon: 

“Corporate Social Responsibility has always been part of PascualLab’s thrust. In realizing this, it has always been our goal to pursue initiatives that are long-term rather than “one-offs”. Through this partnership with World Vision, we hope to see these children graduate to the next level and help enable them to achieve their dreams through education and health.”

Aside from Cenzon, present at the MOA signing were LAC President and CEO Antonio “Tony” Causing, PascualLab Supply Group’s Senior Vice President and Chief Manufacturing Officer Higinio “Jun” Porte, Senior Vice President for Finance Accounting, ICTD Rowena “Weng” Punsalan, and Internal Audit and Risk Management Head Rodney Doromal. The event was hosted by Lara Dela Cruz, PascualLab’s Senior Manager for Design Services and Corporate Communications together with World Vision's Donor Care Manager Precious Hope Basco.

The World Vision team accords the PascualLab with a One For Children Seal to thank the company and its employees for the valuable support.

National Director Rommel Fuerte led the World Vision team. Joining him were Strategy Management and Quality Assurance Director Vanessa Retuerama, Resource Development Director Jun Godornes, New Sponsor Engagement Specialist El Joy Beneza, Contact Center Officer Marc Klauzen Perez, and Acquisitions Manager Cherry Valencia.

To thank PascualLab for the second year of partnership, the World Vision Team accorded the company and its employees a “Project Salute”, led by Retuerama.

Retuerma shared: “With hundreds of children supported through the years, this partnership is one that we are very proud of, and always eager to share with others.” She added: “That said, we are pleased to award this World Vision “One for Children” Seal as a symbol of our unending gratitude and appreciation for PascualLab’s loyalty towards World Vision and the children we support.”

The One for Children seal was made by a former World Vision beneficiary, artist, and now entrepreneur Kit Gresos

The seal, made by a former World Vision beneficiary, artist, and owner of Papelemento Design Kit Gresos, is symbolic of how philanthropy can bring great opportunities for children, tenfold.

To take its partnership with World Vision and support for the kids further, PascualLab employees hope to meet their sponsored children once the current situation becomes more favorable health-wise. Meanwhile, PascualLab continues to support the World Vision-assisted community in Malabon and even beyond through its family-friendly and quality health and wellness products.

Have a Safe Summer With LG Styler

Tweet

Summer is a season a lot of Filipinos look forward to because of how it’s associated with unforgettable vacations and trips to the beach. However, an often ignored effect during Summer is the high temperatures and potential pathogens that go along with it. Heat and humidity is a combination that creates a breeding ground for bacteria to thrive, especially with clothing.

LG Styler lets you enjoy your Summer without worrying about potential diseases. Now that we’re slowly getting back to normal, taking advantage of technology to help you mitigate the risk of getting sick is more crucial than ever before. During Summer, the clothes you wear can pick up harmful dust, bacteria, and allergens. Sanitizing clothes is as important as washing your hands after getting home every day.

The LG Styler can sanitize your clothing quickly and without fuss. It boasts of TrueSteam technology that kills more than 99.9%* virus, bacteria. With the Styler, you can easily sanitize fabrics, masks, and items that are difficult or impossible to wash. The best part of TrueSteam technology is that it consists of 100% water, with no chemical additives. You get clean, bacteria-free clothes without the need for harsh chemicals or detergents. Even if the sun is out during Summer, occasional rain showers can still happen, which can produce unpleasant smells and odors.

LG PATENTED TECHNOLOGY = Moving Hanger x TrueSteam™ Clothing Care. The Moving hanger simulates the hand waving for clothes, throwing away the dust with 200 swings per minute, while it can create more space for TrueSteam™ to get in contact with the clothes. A low-temperature drying system dries clothing faster than air drying, preventing shrinking and damage caused by heat.

The LG Styler also offers heat-pump technology that gently dries clothes that require special care without worrying about shrinkage or damage. No more dampness or accidental damage - only fresh, clean clothes as they were meant to be! If you’re already going back to the office, you can also use the Styler to keep your pants nice and crisp. With Pants Crease Care, it keeps pant creases looking crisp while reducing general wrinkling.

True to LG’s vision of a smart home, the LG Styler can also be controlled through the use of your smartphone. The proprietary ThinQ app lets you operate or monitor precious garments from anywhere, anytime.

Have fun during Summer without letting your guard down. Use the LG Styler to keep your clothing safe all year round. The LG Styler is available in authorized retailers nationwide and in LG’s flagship online stores in Lazada and Shopee.

Ben&Ben captures fearlessness in pursuing romance with 2022 single “Paninindigan Kita”

Tweet

The song marks another chapter in the band’s career with its incredibly effortless songwriting and anthemic pop sound

Filipino folk-pop collective Ben&Ben marks a new era in music with the release of their 2022 single “Paninindigan Kita.”

Written by Paolo and Miguel Benjamin, the upbeat pop song captures the fearlessness of fighting for someone you love despite the disapproval from the people around.

“It is also an ode to a lover that might be hesitant to take a step forward in the relationship,” says the nine-piece outfit. “It's a heartfelt song that gives a balance between understanding where the lover is coming from, and a gentle reassurance that the one singing the song is ready and sure, after learning a lot so far about life and love.”

Expressing persistence in pursuing romantic love, “Paninindigan Kita” hits the emotions even more majestically with layers of melodic guitar lines, dazed harmonies, and deft arrangements. With the help of their long time producers and friends, Jean-Paul Verona and Sam Marquez, the track soars in mythic spectacle while maintaining a pop-leaning sound. As Ben&Ben puts it, “We really wanted to be unapologetically ourselves and let our natural tastes flow deep into the core of the song arrangement.”

“Paninindigan Kita” holds a special place in the band’s catalog, with it being the first song that they recorded in an actual studio since the pandemic started. Ben&Ben made the entire song at Spryrta, the same place where they recorded their multiplatinum full-length album, Limasawa Street.

“A definitely memorable part of the whole recording was doing the whole song in the excess of a day, working from 10am to 6am and rushing to the airport to catch a flight to Cebu only a few hours later,” shares the award-winning band.

It’s worth noting that “Paninindigan Kita” sounds incredibly effortless as far as songwriting and creating melodies are concerned. This time, Ben&Ben takes pride in bringing to life their emotions though a song, and celebrating how universal some stories are, regardless of its specifity in details.

“We were able to block out the noise and focus on simply speaking to our Liwanag,” the Pagtingin hitmakers point out. “As compared to before, we're a bit more open in the way we speak, and we're a bit more bold and confident with our attitude towards the subject of love, especially because the writer has matured and gained a deeper understanding of how love works.”

This year, the nine-piece ensemble hopes to share their music more to a global audience. With “Paninindigan Kita” marking an entirely different phase in creative and goal-setting terms, Ben&Ben is all set for bigger things in their career moving forward.

“Paninindigan Kita” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Philippines.
