Kumu is 4 U and You and You: The Philippines’ Leading Social App Celebrates Four Years with Stars and Fans Alike

Tweet

Now in its fourth year, social entertainment app Kumu marked the occasion with a bang at the Samsung Hall in SM Aura Premier, in partnership with Globe and Sunsilk; with media partners Spot.ph, Candy Magazine, Pep.ph, One Music PH, When in Manila, and Geektalk PH; and wardrobe sponsors Dave Ocampo, Designers Circle Philippines, and Mabuhay PH. Kumu gathered roughly 1,000 guests, comprising the biggest streamers, the most active users, and a huge roster of the talents that had their dreams of stardom—however unorthodox—through the app.

Celebrating Homegrown Talent

Seasoned host and television personality KC Montero—also Kumu’s VP of Content—opened the show with the official Kumu story, reflecting on how far the app has come since 2018. Alongside him were co-hosts Samantha Bernardo, Kelly Canoza, Kimpoy Feliciano, Aldwin Steven, and Prince, all of whom have been power users and supporters of Kumu throughout the last few years. They later welcomed two of the Kumu is 4 U campaign winners, Andrea Roxas and Princess Jeal, as co-hosts for some segments throughout the evening.

Super groups BINI, BGYO, VXON, KAIA, CALISTA, G22, and Press Hit Play are just some of the names attendees who later graced the stage, as well as solo acts like Anton Diva, Vinz Tiu, and JM Bales—just to name a few. There was also a special performance from the winners of Top Class, the recently concluded reality competition hosted by Catriona Gray.

As the night progressed, it became clear that the Philippines’ local music industry has only just begun to thrive. With the rise of P-Pop also comes a resurgence of OPM, thanks to new drops and covers alike. This was highlighted by a solo performance by certified hitmaker and proud Kumunizen, Adie, along with some more campaign winners—Shone Ejusa, Eunice Janine, Jhiefel Naguit, Maica Bermejo, Pauline Denum, and Mitzi Faye Borja—whose prize was the chance to perform onstage with Sofronio Vazquez, FANA, and Sing Pilipinas grand champion, Chloe Redondo.

The voice of Kuya from Pinoy Big Brother also made itself known, introducing the current lineup of PBB Housemates—Kobie, Andrea, Ralph, Gail, Jordan, Karen, Rob, Maxine, Laziz, Isabel, Zach, Seham, and Benedix—before their group song and dance number.

"This Kumu concert is a celebration of not only our Kumunity, but also everything we went through the past four years as a company,” says James Rumohr, Co-founder and Chief of Staff of Kumu. “We’ve had highs and lows, successes and challenges... this concert shows the very heart of Kumu—our passion, our relationships, and being there for each other in this journey, even in the years to come. And there will be more."

To cap off the evening, Montero introduced the founders and current chiefs of Kumu, showcasing the company’s fast-paced growth over just four short years. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a celebration without wishing Karlito—the Kumu tarsier mascot—a proper happy birthday. As for what’s next for Kumu? It seems only time will tell. “The way we’ve grown is crazy, but it seems we’re just getting started,” shares Alex Tshering, Chief of Growth at Kumu. “It started out as this humble goal of connecting Filipinos around the world, but now it’s about making new friends, finding new talent, exploring new possibilities—from everywhere.”

Teleperformance Philippines commits to strengthen gender and disability inclusivity in the workplace

Tweet

Teleperformance (TP) Philippines, a leading global group in digitally integrated business services, raised awareness among their employees on the struggles that persons with disabilities (PWDs) encounter in the workplace and how to create an inclusive workplace for all.

In an internal forum titled “Interweaving Inclusion in our TP DNA,” which was organized by TP Women, Teleperformance’s gender inclusivity arm that aims to promote gender and disability inclusivity, TP featured key resource persons and Teleperformance Philippines employees as speakers on PWD inclusivity in the workplace, especially women with disabilities.

“No DE&I journey ever stops. It’s a constant process of having conversations, of learning, of growing, and of building a culture in the organization,” said Jeffrey Johnson, Senior Vice President of Human Capital Resource Management, in his opening remarks. “We do this not because we’re supposed to, but because it’s the right thing to do.”

During the forum, TP Philippines employees with disabilities recounted their experiences, observations, and recommendations in a roundtable discussion on being a person with disabilities in daily life and in the workplace.

Participating in the discussion was Marilyn Ventenilla, TP Women Chair and Senior Director of Communication and Marketing, who identifies herself as a PWD. “What we’re doing now is a significant first step,” said Ventenilla. “Learning, experiencing, and observing what persons with disabilities are going through are essential for us to empathize with them and understand their expectations.”

Meanwhile, among the guest speakers were Ryan Gersava, Founder and CEO of Virtualahan, Inc., and Jennifer Anne Mendoza, Membership and Client Care Specialist of the Philippine Business Coalition for Women Empowerment (PBCWE).

Jennifer Anne Mendoza of the PBCWE did a talk on disability inclusive leadership, addressing the need for inclusivity in the workplace and the added challenges of women employees with disabilities. “A workplace diversity and inclusion initiative that overlooks the issue of disability fails to address the needs of a large segment of the population,” said Mendoza.

Meanwhile, Ryan Gersava of Virtualahan, Inc., an online vocational school providing inclusive training and empowering companies to become inclusive employers, spoke about the importance of disclosure and the challenges of non-apparent disabilities and promoting disability-inclusive employment. “Disclosure is the key to solving the systemic and intergenerational problem,” said Gersava. “It is very personal and it is very difficult, and it requires a very strong support system: a strong support system that you and I can build together.”

The forum event closed with attending leaders making a digital pledge to actively promote and foster gender and disability inclusivity in the workplace. Leaders came up with personal ways on how they plan on doing so and shared them on the call. Among them was Teleperformance Philippines Chief Executive Officer Francisco Lara Padilla.

“It’s not enough to just talk about it. We’ve got to do something, we’ve got to prioritize it – especially if we want to achieve real changes,” said Lara in his closing remarks. “We may not have the answers 100% – but we will get there. We all have to start somewhere.”

Teleperformance Philippines also recently received their 5th consecutive Great Place to Work® Certification. The Great Place to Work® certification is awarded to companies based on its level of credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie as surveyed by employees. TP Philippines was the first company to be certified in any industry and is the largest employer in the county to be certified this year.

Beko Unveils Latest Home Technology Innovations At IFA Berlin 2022

Tweet

Guided by their belief that healthy living is only possible on a healthy planet, global appliance brand Beko has developed products and technologies such as the HarvestFresh and SteamCure technology that not only make consumers' lives easier but also preserve nature while allowing people to enjoy and live a convenient and healthy lifestyle.

Last Friday, September 2, Beko showcased its new product innovations at IFA Berlin 2022, one of Europe's largest home electronics and consumer trade shows. These latest home solutions include Beko's new game-changing innovation, SaveWater.

The SaveWater technology will be globally launched in September this year. This technology in dishwashers, washing machines/tumble dryer couples has been crafted to provide quality and water-efficient cleaning. Developed with water efficiency at heart, the new SaveWater line by Beko gives back a total of up to 7.8 liters of water at every cycle to you and the world.

Alongside SaveWater, Beko's line of products at IFA reflects its deep commitment to sustainability and mission to develop durable and quality products that help consumers live healthier and in harmony with the environment.

Make Your Dishes Perfectly Clean And Use Water Efficiently With Beko's SaveWater Dishwasher

Beko's SaveWater dishwasher delivers water-efficient cleaning while offering the lowest water consumption in the Beko range.

With a capacity of 16 place settings, it consumes only 6.9 liters of water to wash a full load efficiently. The SaveWater feature saves water from the last rinse phase in the dishwashing cycle, storing it hygienically and safely in the machine's specially designed water tank. This can be re-used at the beginning of the next wash, helping to save households 2.6 liters of water with every wash using the Eco program.

The water in the tank is discharged after a maximum of 72 hours if the dishwasher is not used during that time to ensure hygienic and safe conditions.

Conserve Water And Still Have Quality Cleaning With Beko's SaveWater Washing Machine/Tumble Dryer Couple

Designed to provide water efficient and quality cleaning, the SaveWater washing machine and tumble dryer couple also have a gentler impact on the environment.

The SaveWater tumble dryer feature works with compatible Beko washing machines where water collected during the drying cycle is fed directly into the washing machine to be used in the next washing cycle.

Ideal for busy households, the tumble dryer feature conveniently collects up to 5.2 liters of water during each drying cycle, safely storing this to supply the washing machine with water. The innovative technology was specifically developed to solve the challenge of clean, reusable water collected in tumble dryer tanks, which is typically safe for household cleaning.

The SaveWater technology conserves water sources by saving water for further use, as it is designed with water efficiently at its heart.

Consume Up to 30% Less Energy Than Class 'A' Energy Rating With Beko’s New Washing Machines With AquaTech® Feature

Beko's AquaTech® Washing Machine harnesses the cleaning power of water to conserve energy while continuing to deliver quality cleaning results.

The intuitive solution premixes detergent with the water used in the wash and cascades this onto fabric before cleaning, which saves power at the start of the washing machine cycle.

This waterfall effect enables the detergent to penetrate textiles deeply, boosting the efficiency of the power of the wash itself and helping to ensure a stellar result from a fast and gentle wash.

Beko's AquaTech® Washing Machine also conserves energy by reducing vigorous drum movements and utilizing the powerful force of the water itself to produce clean results.

The innovative AquaTech® technology enables households to benefit from fast and gentle programs and consumes up to 30% less energy than the class 'A' energy rating limit.

An 8kg load of laundry could now be washed within 30 minutes, removing the need for multiple cycles and reducing the risk of textile damage from the washing.

So, this September, get ready to see the game-changing and environmental-friendly impact of Beko's SaveWater technology.

It is no wonder that Beko has become one of the top large home appliances brands in Europe and one of the pioneers in sustainability alongside its parent company, Arçelik. Their sustainability mission, a holistic approach to implementing innovative technologies in production to minimize environmental impact, and a way of applying environmentally packing alternatives helped them do so.
