Maymay Entrata shares why the Infinix HOT 20S is the ideal gaming phone for her

Tweet

All kinds of gamers want the best smartphone in their hands to perform their best and grab those precious victories. You also want a device that works as your ideal companion while traveling or spending your free time.

With her busy daily schedule, this need for a reliable phone is something that singer-actress and Infinix brand ambassador Maymay Entrata knows all too well. For her, the new Infinix HOT 20S more than serves these dual roles perfectly well.

The perfect gaming companion

Mobile gaming is on the rise, and more gamers want to have the best device at the right budget. This is why Maymay Entrata is definitely excited for the Infinix HOT 20S, as it’s a device that can handle all the best games she wants to play.

She really likes the power of the HOT 20S’ processor and how it makes playing games smooth and lag-free. “Pinakagusto kong feature nya ay yung Helio G96 gaming processor kasi mahilig akong mag laro ng iba’t ibang games. Eh diba pag naglalaro po tayo, importanteng hindi tayo maglag. Kaya perfect phone siya talaga for everyday gaming,” she says.

(“The feature I love the most is its Helio G96 gaming processor, because I love to play different games. When we play mobile games, it’s important that we don’t experience lag. That’s why it’s the perfect phone for everyday gaming.”)

The Infinix HOT 20S is a great way to stream and watch your favorite content, as well. When asked about how she spends her free time, Entrata says, “I usually watch my series sa phone ko, at siyempre ‘di mawawala yung gaming at mas napapadalas na ang paglalaro ko kasi using the Infinix HOT 20S kasi ‘di talaga sya nagla-lag.”

(“I usually watch my series on my phone, and of course there’s always my mobile gaming. I get to play a lot more with the Infinix HOT 20S because the gameplay doesn’t lag.”)

Being away from home, it’s also important for Entrata to keep in touch, and the HOT 20S packs a 13GB extended RAM for top performance at all times, and 128GB internal storage that provides a lot of space for essential apps.

“I keep in touch with my loved ones sa pamamagitan ng pag me-message and video calls all the time. Using my Infinix HOT 20S na may 13GB extended RAM plus 128GB internal storage, hindi na ako mag wo-worry kung ilang video call apps pa ang na-download ko kasi alam kong maraming space ang storage ko,” she adds.

(“I keep in touch with my loved ones by messaging and making video calls all the time. Using my Infinix HOT 20S with its 13GB extended RAM plus 128GB internal storage, I don’t have to worry about how many video call apps I download because I know I’ll have enough space in my phone’s storage.”)

‘Blessed and grateful’ to be an Infinix brand ambassador

Infinix is one of the most competitive phone brands in the Philippine market that’s rising in popularity by the day, and Entrata is grateful to become its brand ambassador.

“I’m very much blessed and grateful kasi knowing Infinix, ito ay may mga napakagandang phone, kilala at ginagamit ng karamihan. Doon pa lang, I felt honored na maging official brand ambassador ng Infinix,” she says.

(“I’m very much blessed and grateful because knowing Infinix, this brand has a lot of great phones, and it’s popular and widely used. From that alone, I felt honored to become an official Infinix brand ambassador.”)

She also shared the challenges of shooting the HOT 20S TV commercial, in which she and the crew working that day to overcome the bad weather.

“Yung experience ko po sa paggawa ng HOT 20S TV commercial ay napaka-challenging kasi yung panahon na ‘yun napakalakas ng ulan, medyo bumabaha na ng konti yung venue namin at malapit kami sa river,” Entrata recounts.

(“My experience shooting the HOT 20S TV commercial was really challenging, because the rain was heavy and our shooting venue got slightly flooded and we were near a river.”)

Their efforts bore fruit, as the HOT 20S TV commercial turned out perfect, portraying Entrata as a dynamic and exciting ambassador for the highly anticipated phone.

Performing at her best no matter what, just like the HOT 20S, is nothing new for Entrata. Apart from being a brand ambassador, she has also become a successful singer—her new single “Puede Ba,” released last month, quickly became one of the most listened-to songs in the country.

She appreciates all the valuable lessons she learned as a performer. “Never settle for less talaga, kasi naniniwala ako na you can be extraordinary if you want or chose to. At sobrang masaya akong patuloy akong nagbibigay ng inspirasyon sa kanila to believe in themselves and never give up chasing their dreams.”

(“Really never settle for less, because I believe you can be extraordinary if you want or choose to. And I’m so happy to continuously inspire people to believe in themselves and never give up chasing their dreams.”)

Entrata is also willing to take up new roles in the future and learn more, simply saying, “Keep learning, improving, and exploring new genres.”

Like Maymay Entrata, you too can level up your gaming experience without breaking the bank with the new Infinix HOT 20S. The HOT 20S is available in Light Rider-White, Sonic Black, Fantasy Purple, and Tempo Blue which retails for P8,499 in official stores nationwide, and in Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop.

Christmas Always Finds Its Way - Coca-Cola™ celebrates the unstoppable force of bringing families together in this year’s holiday campaign

Tweet

Holidays are indeed coming, and Coca-Cola is celebrating the moment with the launch of its new campaign–“Christmas Always Finds Its Way”–which celebrates the unstoppable, magical force of Christmas in navigating all obstacles to bring people together.

In 2021, Coca-Cola launched Real Magic®, its new global brand platform and philosophy that invites everyone, everywhere to celebrate the magic of humanity. Central to the philosophy is the belief that we find magic when we come together and share experiences.

In this year’s multi-channel, digital, and experiential campaign, Coca-Cola is set to create a series of memorable and distinct moments across the Philippines, designed to celebrate and create that festive magic across the country, while observing the special role that gatherings, meals, and traditions play in bringing families, friends, and communities together. After all, Coca-Cola has always been part of every Filipino celebration.

"December is the peak of holiday celebrations in the Philippines, when families and loved ones come together to share stories, exchange laughter, and bond over meals and drinks,” said Cesar Gangoso, East Region Frontline Marketing Director of Coca-Cola ASEAN and South Pacific. “We are delighted to hear stories of Filipinos who always celebrate Christmas with a bottle or two of Coca-Cola, so with this year's campaign, we want to better enrich the festivities through a series of activities in the Philippines that can bring a truly magical experience.”

The Christmas Always Finds Its Way campaign of Coca-Cola is headlined by the film ”Just Like Mama Used to Make,” directed by German filmmakers Dorian and Daniel and created by Grey Global. As part of the Real Magic® global brand platform, the film celebrates families and friends, past and present, as well as those shared recipes, memories, and traditions that bind generations together over a Christmas meal.

The campaign starts with a film, “Just Like Mama Used to Make,” directed by German filmmakers Dorian and Daniel and created by Grey Global. The film tells the heart-warming story of how a son’s memory of his mother is kept close through the preparation of a treasured family recipe, continuing to bring his family and new generations together for moments of magic at Christmas.

“The long association of Coca-Cola with Christmas is something we treasure and, this year, we're back with a new campaign that we hope people all over the world will love,” shared Selman Careaga, president of Coca-Cola trademark. “It celebrates families and friends, past and present, as well as those shared recipes, memories, and traditions that bind generations together over the Christmas meal.”

In wider plans to mark the festive season, the brand’s iconic Caravans will return. For almost three decades, since they first lit up the small screen in a TV ad in the mid-1990s, Coca-Cola has built its Caravans truck asset as a powerful and tangible icon of Christmas across the globe. This year, Coca-Cola Caravans are back, and the brand will be curating a truly magical, festive experience centered around sharing meals with an ice-cold Coca-Cola drink. Reimagined as ‘The Coca-Cola Care-A-Van’ in the Philippines, Coca-Cola aims to takeover over forty food fests in different parts of the country, with the goal of bringing communities around the Philippines together for festive cheer.

Coca-Cola Philippines officially kicked off this year's campaign Christmas Always Finds Its Way, a campaign that celebrates the power of Christmas to find its way no matter what, in helping us navigate all obstacles to get together and share meals and stories during the festive season. The campaign is centered around the Care-A-Van Community Takeovers, which was launched at Greenfield District last December 3, 2022, headlined by Coke Studio Artist ALAMAT, games, and Coca-Cola products. The Care-A-Van will hold stops at 41 other food fests nationwide to bring the magic of Christmas closer to communities.

The first Coca-Cola Care-A-Van Community Takeover was in Pasig City’s Greenfield District on December 3, 2022. With a jolly Santa Claus holding a bottle of Coca-Cola painted on its body, the iconic truck welcomed guests and served as a photo wall for taking festive photos. Food tents surrounding the venue also provided meals and Coca-Cola products to be enjoyed during the program. A dynamic performance by Coke Studio artist and rising P-Pop group ALAMAT, raffle draws, games, and other activities also contributed to the lively atmosphere.

Coca-Cola continues to not only refresh people with delicious drinks, but to also refresh communities. In partnership with the Ronald McDonald House of Charities Philippines, the Coca-Cola Care-A-Van Community Takeover will make a stop at Sitio Pintor, Rizal to host a Christmas party and give away meals and Coca-Cola products to 100 underserved families—bringing the spirit of Christmas to whoever needs it.

Lastly, the digital experience will continue as Coca-Cola launches “Call from Santa” web platform that will be available on iOS, Android, Win, and Mac. Filipinos can also access the platform by scanning a QR code in select Coca-Cola bottles. Anyone who wishes to send a surprise to their loved ones can request a personalized video message from Santa. With the Philippines being one of the largest diasporas globally, the platform is a welcome initiative, especially for those who are out of the country.

“We all know how special Christmas is to Filipinos, but we also recognize that there are many out there who can’t be home during the holiday season due to various circumstances or obligations, even as they yearn to be among their loved ones to celebrate a Christmas meal,” said Tony del Rosario, President of Coca-Cola Philippines and Vice President for the East Franchise Operations of Coca-Cola ASEAN and South Pacific. “Since they cannot be with their family and friends, we at Coca-Cola want to find a way to help them enjoy Christmas and experience the magic of the season.”

Indeed, Christmas this year will still be festive, especially for those with impossible journeys, as Coca-Cola helps find ways to bring Filipinos together and remind us that the festivities lie in the moments we share with our loved ones.

Herbalife Nutrition’s Simply Recycle Challenge Sees Over 712,000 Product Canisters Submitted for Recycling from 3,300 Participants across the Asia Pacific Region

Tweet

Premier global nutrition company, Herbalife Nutrition today announced the results of its Simply Recycle Challenge, a regional initiative that aimed to motivate its members across the Asia Pacific markets to submit used Herbalife Nutrition product canisters for recycling. Held from June to August this year, the program accumulated a total of 712,232 product canisters, weighing 36 tonnes – which is equivalent to six African elephants, from more than 3,300 Herbalife Nutrition members who participated in the Challenge.

The result of the Simply Recycle Challenge will also enable Herbalife Nutrition to plant 1,421 trees through its partnership with the non-profit organization, One Tree Planted. On average, a tree can absorb about 10kg of carbon dioxide per year for the first 20 years, therefore, these trees could sequester the equivalent of approximately 14 tonnes of carbon dioxide from the planet every year, equivalent to two round-the-world trips in terms of carbon footprint generated by a car running on petroleum.

“We are delighted with the results of the Challenge and the positive response from our members in support of this green initiative,” said Stephen Conchie, Regional President of Asia Pacific and China for Herbalife Nutrition. “Environmental stewardship is a key component of our global responsibility strategy. From implementing the Simply Recycle Challenge to incentivize recycling of our product packaging, to reducing use of plastic throughout our distribution network, we are taking meaningful steps to do what’s needed to promote a sustainable future for people and the planet.”

Launched on World Environment Day 2022 (June 5) as part of the company’s Go Green initiative in Asia Pacific, the Simply Recycle Challenge encouraged Herbalife Nutrition independent members and Nutrition Club owners across the region to recycle their used Herbalife Nutrition product canisters.

Apart from the Simply Recycle Challenge, some Herbalife Nutrition markets in the Asia Pacific region have implemented additional recycling programs in partnership with local organizations; for instance:

●       In Vietnam, Herbalife Nutrition has collaborated with the Ho Chi Minh City Association for Conservation of Nature and Environment (HANE) to convert used product canisters into plastic grains for reuse in manufacturing;

●       In the Philippines, the company’s partnership with Green Antz enables the transforming of discarded product packaging into green building materials;

●       In Malaysia, the company has engaged Recycle for Life (RFL) to collect used product canisters and bottles from its Sales and Distribution Center in Kuala Lumpur on a regular basis. 100% of the cash rewards resulted from this program will be donated to Herbalife Nutrition Foundation to improve the lives of children and communities in the country; and

●       In Thailand, the company donates used product canisters to Chak Daeng Temple in the Samut Prakan Province for reprocessing into useful materials.

 

On a global level, Herbalife Nutrition continues with ongoing initiatives in eliminating negative environmental impacts, such as reducing the use of plastic by increasing the integration of recycled materials like PCR (post-consumer resin) in its Formula 1 canisters, while decreasing the overall amount of packaging for its nutrition products.
