Together, We are Unstoppable: Celebrating a New Generation of Inspiring Young Go-Getters with the Samsung #TeamUnstoppable 2022 Campaign

Join the movement by sharing your personal ‘Unstoppable’ stories on TikTok, Facebook or Instagram for a chance to win the latest Galaxy devices


MANILA, Philippines – Creative, ambitious, and driven, today’s youth have shown time and again that they are indomitable in their pursuit of passion and purpose, forging new paths for themselves in fields of their choosing, while striving to make a difference with unwavering spirit and determination.

To celebrate this phenomenon, Samsung Electronics is launching its second edition of the #TeamUnstoppable regional brand campaign, daring Gen Zs and millennials of Southeast Asia to face challenges head-on and strive for greater heights. Based on the theme “Together, We are Unstoppable”, the campaign gathers a group of young changemakers who are passionate about gaming, food, sustainability, social good, education and fashion, and calls on youth from across the region to share their own inspiring stories and galvanize others into action.

This year, to better engage younger audiences, the #TeamUnstoppable movement will be centered on TikTok, where a brand-new generation of ‘unstoppable’ young individuals will share authentic stories in snackable, mobile-first episodic videos.

“Throughout the ups and downs of the past year, it has never been clearer that Gen Zs and millennials in Southeast Asia are unafraid to defy barriers and tap on technology to do good. Through #TeamUnstoppable 2022, we hope to build upon our successful run last year to inspire even more young digital natives in the region who are unafraid, undeterred and unwavering; to push their boundaries and creatively express how they will effect positive change in their communities on TikTok,” said Roy Lan, Regional Senior Brand Marketing Manager, Southeast Asia and Oceania at Samsung Electronics.

To kickstart the campaign this year, we spotlight #TeamUnstoppable 2022 in a regional film that premieres today. Here’s a quick introduction to these go-getters:


Karla Golosinda – The Gamer with a Cause

In the male-dominated field of e-sports, Filipina gaming content creator Karla Golosinda breaks the mold by using her platform to spread warmth, inspiration, and laughter to her fanbase. Harnessing gaming as a force for good, she channels funds raised via live streaming towards needy local students and those affected by natural disasters. Karla, who goes by Queen Wrecker, also utilizes her social channels to raise awareness and garner support for issues surrounding animal conservation and female empowerment.

Chau Bui – The Unconventional Fashionista

One of the top fashion influencers in Vietnam, Chau Bui rises above conventional beauty standards by remaining unapologetically true to herself in building her unique identity, while inspiring others to do the same. Beyond bringing fashion from Vietnam into the global eye, Chau Bui is also on a mission to build a more inclusive and accountable fashion industry, leveraging her social media network to promote health, wellness and sustainability efforts while helping the less privileged.

Jason Chua – The Brash Chef with a Big Heart

Having to fend for himself from the age of 15, Jason Chua was determined to find success on his own terms in Singapore. At 26, he turned his passion for cooking into a career by starting his own food stall, Beng Who Cooks. At the height of the pandemic, Jason gave out thousands of free meals to hardest-hit Singaporeans, and today continues to make a difference by imparting valuable life skills and providing employment to those in need at his now expanded F&B business.

Jerome’s long-standing passion for education feeds into a higher goal – to better the education system in his home country.

Jabir Meftah – The Leader of Youth Leaders

Despite playing many different roles onscreen, Malaysian actor and model Jabir Meftah sees himself as an activist and civic leader first. His showbiz influence is key in his mission to shed light on and make a real impact on climate change and other issues surrounding inequality, and the need for future leaders. Jabir’s non-governmental organization, YouthCare, aims to rally young people around helping others and the environment, and to train youth leaders to continue building a better future.

Neng Sarun – The Champion of Mindful Pet Ownership

Having spent much of his childhood in his father’s veterinary clinic, Neng Sarun’s love for animals led him to establish Thailand’s first pet wellness center, offering a novel combination of health and grooming services for better pet care. As a vet and actor, he works tirelessly in mobilizing veterinary teams and harnessing the power of technology as well as medicine to champion mindful pet ownership across Thailand – including education to improve the quality of life for animals in rural areas

Filipinos among the most sleepless in the world. Here’s how the newest Galaxy Watch5 Series can help

 

Filipinos are among the world's most sleep-deprived, according to a global health study. And, while a lack of sleep can be caused by a variety of factors such as work, illness, stress, excessive use of social media, and unhealthy eating habits, failing to get enough rest can lead to serious health problems in the long run.

Sufficient sleep demonstrates long-term benefits and allows body systems to work better. An adequate shut-eye has impacts on how people will function physically and mentally the next day. It also strengthens a person’s immunity from diseases and viruses.

Achieving a healthy sleeping routine is not easy, especially when people do not have the means to track their habits. With this in mind, Samsung launched its newest Galaxy Watch5 Series designed to enable users to achieve ideal sleeping patterns with the help of technology.

The smartwatch that knows you even with eyes closed

The Galaxy Watch5 and Watch Pro are both equipped with a Sleep Tracker that detects and analyzes users’ sleeping and snoring patterns as well as blood oxygen levels so they don’t forget the value of adequate rest.

These smartwatches also monitor all levels of sleep, including REM cycles, to assist users in adjusting their sleeping[1] habits and informing them on how much rest is required to get through the day. They help plan users’ bedtime, detect their snoring[2], and track their sleep with four sleep stages: awake, light, deep, and REM using eight animal symbols that represent their sleep type. In addition, they even deliver advanced insights from the National Sleep Foundation to improve sleep quality and duration.

Aside from that, if users wish to quickly check their body composition[3] the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro have Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) that provides precise measurements of their body fat percentage, skeletal muscle, and body water within 15 seconds[4]. The smartwatches also sport BioActive Sensors, which can monitor blood pressure and test heart rhythms, making electrocardiogram (ECG) tests handy.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro have revolutionized the way fitness enthusiasts and even beginners track their health. The features of both smartwatches provide accurate health data, inspiring users to sleep better and perform healthier routines. It also offers a battery capacity of 410mAh and 284mAh for the Galaxy Watch5, and 590mAh for the Galaxy Watch5 Pro, with fast-charging for longer usage and a maximized experience[5].

The importance of personalized feedback

Along with the enhanced features, Samsung knows that feedback is essential to improving progress. People believe that to be the best version of themselves, they need to know more and be guided properly. And Samsung doesn’t just listen, it engineers what's best for users. With that, the enhanced Galaxy Watch5 Series detects over 90 exercises and personal routines. It even provides personalized feedback based on the user's workout[6] performance.

The ultra-stylish yet premium design of Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Series is fit for any occasion and everyday function wear. Users may keep it on anywhere, anytime, rain or shine, as the smartwatch is water and sweat-resistant.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Series is now available to be everyone’s fitness companion at the following prices and colors:

       Galaxy Watch5 (40mm) Bluetooth - PHP 16,990 (Available in Silver, Graphite, and Pink Gold)

       Galaxy Watch5 (40mm) LTE - PHP 19,990 (Available in Silver, Graphite, and Pink Gold)

       Galaxy Watch5 (44mm) Bluetooth - PHP 18,990 (Available in Graphite, Sapphire, and Silver)

       Galaxy Watch5 (44mm) LTE - PHP 21,990 (Available in Graphite, Sapphire, and Silver)

       Galaxy Watch5 Pro (45mm) Bluetooth- PHP 26,990 (Available in Black Titanium and Gray Titanium)

       Galaxy Watch5 Pro (45mm) LTE - PHP 29,990 (Available in Black Titanium and Gray Titanium)

From September 2 until September 30, customers will enjoy 50% off on the new Galaxy Buds2 Pro with every purchase of the Galaxy Watch5 or the Watch5 Pro. When purchased with the new Galaxy Z Fold4 or Z Flip4, they can enjoy 30% off on the Galaxy Watch5 Series, and 50% off on the new Galaxy Buds2 Pro.

Rainy season is here—and so are some common rainy day illnesses


Learn about how the rainy season affects your well-being, and what you can do to stay healthy

While the rainy season marks the end of a warm, dry summer, the rainy season also ushers in a wave of climate-related conditions, the most prevalent of which is the common cold.

Because of the damp and cold weather experienced during the rainy season, allergens like mold or fungi are given a chance to grow at a rapid rate, which may exacerbate common cold symptoms, such as a runny nose, congestion, and cough.[1] Changes in temperature can also cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Additionally, the strong winds during thunderstorms can disturb dust particles and pollen, making it more respirable and increasing the risk of triggering allergy or asthma attacks.[2]

Not only that, but the Department of Health (DOH) has observed a rise in COVID-positive cases, jumping to 16.7% this past week. This puts the Philippines’ numbers at over triple the World Health Organization’s (WHO) ideal 5% threshold.[3]

Fortunately, there are many treatments available to help alleviate the discomfort caused by the chilly weather, while also acting as an added preventive measure against severe COVID-19 symptoms. One of these is Lagundi (Vitex negundo L.), a trusted and accessible cure for common cold symptoms in the Philippines that has been clinically tested and proven to aid in the relief of cough, asthma, and other respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.

Lagundex is an over-the-counter drug that makes use of the mucolytic properties of Lagundi to help dissolve the sticky phlegm that develops from allergic reactions or asthma attacks. It also has a broncho-dilating effect, allowing the bronchial tubes to decongest and relax, which widens the air passage and makes it easier to breathe. It is also proven to help relieve mild to moderate cough without any harmful side effects.

Additionally, clinical studies showed that Lagundi can indeed help mild COVID-19 patients improve their symptoms. It also lowers the probability of developing anosmia, or losing one’s sense of smell.[4]

Make the rainy season an enjoyable one by taking care of your health, staying warm, and choosing a preventive treatment that keeps the common colds - and COVID-19 - away.

Distributed exclusively by New Marketlink Pharmaceutical Corporation (NMPC), Lagundex is available in drugstores nationwide and comes in tablet and syrup form. To know more about Lagundex, head on to https://nmpc.com.ph/product/lagundex/.

Drag Playhouse PH honors Beyonce’s Renaissance with culture-defining themed show

The Category is… A night of a thousand Beyoncé.

Drag Playhouse Philippines recently celebrated the music of Beyoncé through a thematic show that further highlights the megastar’s enormous contribution to queer pop culture.

Aptly titled HOUSE 628 LIVE: THE RENAISSANCE BALL, the event provided an outlet for the queens of Drag Playhouse Philippines to express themselves freely without judgment, while sashaying to Beyoncé’s club-thumping 2022 album, Renaissance, and classic hits.

Aside from high-profile Drag Performances of OV Cunt, Marina Summers, Prince, and Eva Le Queen—three of them currently getting valuable airtime at Drag Race Philippines, the drag show also hosted friendly battles in several categories namely Drag Face, where contestants showcase exceptional makeup skills by serving mug on the runway; Drag Runway, where contestants exhibit head-to-toe fierceness during their runway walk; and Lip Sync Challenge, where they pull their most creative tricks in synchronizing their lips to a prerecorded track.

A special drag performance featuring Viñas DeLuxe added more star power to an already eventful night as she performed a medley of Beyoncé’s hits, with House Of Mizrahi Philippines, a local chapter of the Voguing community, joining in some of the performances. A purely Beyoncé-themed DJ set tucked in between the program segments also hyped the crowd, prompting them to sing and dance along to the Homecoming Queen’s iconic bops from the late ‘90s to the present.

Marina Summers, a fan-favorite and frontrunner at this year’s Drag Race Philippines, expressed how Beyoncé shaped her youth. “Her work has been an inspiration for a lot of queer artists, and personally, I’ve always loved performing to her songs. And ever since the Renaissance album came out, just like Queen B herself, my creative path has been challenged to be more innovative and unique.”

Another Drag Race Philippines favorite and drag icon, Eva Le Queen, spoke adoration for Beyonce, pointing out how her music is a gift to the world. “Beyonce has always been an icon and inspiration to the community. Her strong and alpha energy resonated so much to a lot of us Drag Queens who are essentially the face and frontliners of the equality movement for the community. Her music, her soul, her POWER has allowed me to live my life in my own terms and take Eva Le Queen to greater heights. Being a female, POC and be THE QUEEN B is a permission for all of us to be the best that we can be.”

Like Summers and Eva Le Queen, fellow Drag Race Philippines contestant and queen extraordinaire PRINCE, considers Beyoncé as an important figure in influencing her drag persona. She also considers Renaissance as an envelope-pushing record that deserves its place in the pantheon of pop music greats. “It’s totally different from her past records. Most songs were sampled from classic disco hits but somehow Beyoncé made it sound fresh and that’s what makes it great.”

OV CUNT, another royalty in the contemporary drag scene, also showered Beyonce praises, particularly her new album Renaissance, for empowering listeners to be unapologetically, themselves. “It has awoken parts of the colorful history of our community, whether it’s intentional or not. It gave the world possibly new names of icons that may or might not be forgotten by the past. The mention of houses from ball culture, the use of Moi Renee’s Miss Honey in the Pure/Honey—it gives you every opportunity to reference every icon that contributed to our community today.”
