Match made in Galaxy: Pair your OOTDs with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4

Tweet

On social media, fashionistas would often do the "Fit Check" and "Get Ready With Me" trends as they choose their party outfits, corporate dresses, and attires for dinner dates. To complete the look, they also pick a phone case that goes best with their chosen clothing. It could be clear, printed, or neutral. Doing this provides a cohesive ensemble as they take photos or do mirror selfies.

Matching looks might be unimportant for some, but for the expressers and trendsetters, this enables them to showcase who they really are in the most exciting and stand-out ways.

Samsung acknowledges that technology has always been intertwined with personal life. And even with different style preferences, may it be classy, trendy, or chic, the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 will easily match any look with its foldable form factor, bold colorways, and overall sleek design.

When it comes to matching it to a classic style, turn heads with every unfold as the recently launched Galaxy Z Fold4 has a premium finish of Graygreen, Phantom Black, and online-exclusive Beige. Ideal for momentous and formal events like corporate meetings, galas, or fancy dinner cocktails.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip4 goes with everything chic and trendy with its hazy glass finish against high-shine, glossy metal frames of Bora Purple, Graphite, Pink Gold, or Blue. A perfect accessory for fun and unforgettable life moments like concerts, birthdays, or weddings.

The Galaxy Z Fold4 has also put a new spin on slim, as it now sports minimized bezels and lightweight materials, making it even more pocket-friendly. The Galaxy Z Flip4 on the other hand fits all outfits and pockets, with its width as small as 71.9mm when folded.

For Galaxy Z Fold4, the smartphone boasts a 7.6-inch screen when unfolded allowing users to do more and open multiple apps on the taskbar, for quick navigation and super-productive screen. While the Galaxy Z Flip4 has a customisable 1.9-inch Cover Screen, which users can change and personalize in any way they want using personal videos, photos, or their own AR emoji. With this much control, users can easily update whatever matches their mood or outfits.

foodpanda’s new pandAwardees a mix of big names and MSMEs

Tweet

Online food delivery platforms have paved the way to level the playing field for up-and-coming small businesses and big, established names in the food industry. Likewise, the presence of both in digital platforms has allowed consumers to have convenient access to a wider variety of food choices.

For leading online q-commerce digital platform foodpanda, the support coming from these businesses has been crucial to help them succeed in expanding and growing their footprint in the country.

According to foodpanda Philippines Managing Director Daniel Marogy, they hope to once again shine a spotlight on the hard work and service that their partner vendors and merchants put into providing good food for the community – and they are doing that through this year’s Vendor PandAwards.

“This year, we want to continue commending partner vendors who showed exceptional entrepreneurial skills and invaluable contribution to our growth and expansion with another round of our Vendor PandAwards,” Marogy said, adding that the diverse set of criteria of their PandAwards shows the various ways by which vendors’ performance and success can be measured.

“Each PandAward winner is quite unique, and we wanted to show that uniqueness in the categories as well,” Marogy noted.

Panda-best in Ratings

Red Ribbon has been a staple item of every Pinoy celebration and party. But aside from being a long-time household name, they have also been a constant favorite amongst foodpanda users. Because of their top-notch service as well as freshly baked cakes and goodies, it doesn’t come as a surprise that they bagged the award for the Panda-best in Ratings.

The bakeshop was able to consistently maintain an average rating of 4.6 stars in the foodpanda app.

Best ON-the-GO

Nothing beats a cold and refreshing cup of milk tea when you’re on the go or just simply roaming around the area. By ordering Serenitea through the foodpanda app, you can pick-up and enjoy exclusive discounts on your order.

Having the most pick-up orders, Serenitea bagged the Best ON-the-GO award. “It’s nice that foodpanda not only was a huge help for us through food deliveries when foot traffic was down during lockdowns, but they are also a big support to us in the new normal with new services like the pick-up feature,” Serenitea general manager Juliet Chen shared.

Panda New-Comer Award

Another all-time favorite – this time of die-hard coffee lovers – has also been recently included in the roster of treats you can order at foodpanda. Starbucks Coffee needs no more introduction for it to become one of the most-ordered items on the app despite being a newbie in the app.

Getting your favorite drinks and beverages just got so much easier now that Starbucks is finally on foodpanda!

Panda Local Heroes

Capturing the hearts (and taste buds) of foodies in their localities, the Panda Local Heroes is a special category awarded to local vendors who exponentially grew and expanded their business in the area through foodpanda. The award was given to Pares Retiro, Biggs Diner, Alberto’s Pizza, and JM Shawarma for the Metro Manila Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao area respectively.

With its roster of Pinoy favorites such as sizzling bone marrow, silog, lomi, pansit, goto at halo halo, on top of its main pares dish, there’s no doubt that Pares Retiro is truly classic.

“From the very start, foodpanda has played a huge part in our mission to bring what we call ‘Totoong Pagkaing Pilipino’ closer to our pinoy customers. The pandemic made this partnership even more meaningful as we made our meals available to our customers even if they can’t visit us physically,” Pares Retiro Corporate Marketing Manager Joerome Santos remarked.

For Bicolanos in Naga City, Bigg’s Diner is a local fast-food favorite. It is definitely inspiring to witness the growth of what was once a small take-out counter offering burgers and fries to all Nageños to now a special diner concept offering American food and a lot more.

“With foodpanda’s strong online-ordering presence, it became a lifeline for Bigg’s Diner during the pandemic. We saw a significant increase in our sales among branches from Naga and Legazpi stores so we hope to continue doing this partnership in the future,” Bigg’s Diner Head of Delivery and Bulk Order Sales Omann Navar revealed.

“For many people, times are still tough because of the continuing effects of the pandemic. Despite that, our vendors have managed to rise above all adversities,” Marogy added. “In our own way, we want to appreciate the hard work and service they do to make our customers happy. We are also grateful for their trust and confidence, and we will continue to reinforce our commitment to supporting their growth and long-term success.”

Marogy also revealed that the second round of PandAwards was a step up from their previous one with more categories and awardees in the mix. See the full list of winners for the Vendor PandaAwards 2022 here.

What drives an entrepreneur to start a business?

Tweet

The rise of e-commerce platforms in recent times has made it easier for Filipinos across the country to start their own online businesses.

Apart from generating income, there are multiple factors – both personal and external – that inspire a person to start their own business. With this increasing interest, what are the motivations that drive someone to become an entrepreneur?

For overseas Filipino workers like Donald, becoming an entrepreneur meant being able to spend more time with his family. Prior to becoming an entrepreneur, Donald worked in the UAE hotel industry. Although he was able to provide for his family, being away limited him from celebrating special occasions and milestones, so he decided to go home in 2019. When he got back to the Philippines, he made a living out of selling hotel-grade curtains and bedsheets to leverage his hotel industry experience. Initially, he marketed his products through door-to-door sales, but since he was away from his family for a long time, he wanted to spend more time at home. This is why he decided to start selling online.

Donald set up a shop on Shopee to expand his reach to a nationwide audience and boost his sales, all from the comfort of his own home. Today, he has over 100 employees helping him run his Shopee store, and is now able to spend more time with his family. “When I was away, I was never able to celebrate holidays with my family. I took the leap to go home and start my own business – which has changed my life for the better,” shared Donald.

“Because I started selling online with Shopee, time with my family is now a luxury I can enjoy since I can run my business from home. I’ve learned a lot from my journey as an entrepreneur, but I know that business is always changing. I need to adapt, change, and innovate, and Shopee makes it easier for me to do that with new features, tools, and online courses that I can access from my home.”

Meanwhile, for hobbyists like Heron, starting his own business enabled him to build relationships with his customers, and even foster a sense of community with those who share the same interests as him. Before becoming an entrepreneur, he was already an avid collector of imported action figures. When he chose to sell some items from his personal collection, Heron realized he could make a business out of his hobby. With his knowledge on the niche market of collecting action figures, Heron successfully set up his own store. Although he initially started out with a traditional brick and mortar store, he eventually transitioned to e-commerce and sold collector’s items on Shopee.

With Shopee, he was able to grow a customer base who have the same interests and hobbies. He maximizes the platform’s features to directly communicate with his buyers, and build affinity for his business. “I never expected that my hobby would turn into my full-time job. When I needed to sell some of my items to build my savings, it felt like a happy accident that there were many people like me who share the same interests and are interested in buying my action figures,” shared Heron.

“When I joined Shopee, it helped me take my business even further because it became easier to track my stocks, monitor sales, and reach new customers with the different in-app features. My relationship manager has also been a big help in guiding me every step of the way. I didn’t know how to start, but it became a lot easier with Shopee. Everything just fell into the right place at the right time.”

If there’s anything Donald and Heron’s stories have shown, it’s that becoming a successful entrepreneur is within arm’s reach. It takes drive, determination, and personal experience that spark a sense of entrepreneurship for one to take that leap and start their own business. Shopee commits itself to helping entrepreneurs drive their businesses forward through the multiple benefits of e-commerce.
