Pawsitively Impactful: CHERRY Cares supports Animal Shelters through its Project Pa-Help Paw

Tweet

CHERRY Cares, the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) arm of CHERRY Philippines, has embraced a commitment to support local animal shelters through its project Pa-Help Paw.

The special project Pa-Help Paw started in December of 2021. It strives to promote animal welfare by giving food, medications, CHERRY Pet products, and other necessities to predetermined animal rescue agencies and recipients.

At the core of CHERRY Cares’ initiatives lies a genuine concern for our four-legged friends. By reaching out to San Mateo Municipal Pound and House of Strays, the company has taken significant steps to address the growing challenges faced by these shelters. Dog food, cat food and pet shampoo were allocated to aid the overall maintenance of the facilities.

“When we say inclusivity, this includes our fur families through our Pa-Help PAW Project. This is one of our ways to give back and create a happy and healthy relationship with our pets. Let us treat them as part of our family and give them equal rights rather than just co-existing,” says Ms. Agnes Conopio, PR-CSR Head, CHERRY.

This initiative has unlocked our fur-mily’s strong bonds with their humans and encouraged positive behaviors free from abuse, neglect, and abandonment.

Avida Land Unveils the Biggest Outdoor Mural in the South

Tweet

Avida Land excitedly announces the official unveiling of “In Her Future Memories,” a stunning mural artwork and winner of their recently concluded South Park District Mural Design Competition.

 The eye-catching colors of “In Her Future Memories” invite lovers of art from all over the country to appreciate its beauty in person.

From championing local artists to elevating spaces with Filipino artistry is Avida's dedication to the arts, and this advocacy will continue to strengthen for years to come. They believe in the power of art to inspire, connect, and spark conversations, and "In Her Future Memories" embodies this spirit.

“In Her Future Memories” was designed and created by Jhocel “Anthony Marahuyo” Malicsi and his team of thirteen talented visual artists—Rheydene Luca Ortega, Rhealhet Luca Ortega, Laurence Sebolino Gutierrez, Ma. Aleilyn Joyce Domingo Botin, John Roland Alipis, Ainafer Rupal Arena, John Alexis Rupal Arena, Roma Nieves Huet, Rica Permejo, Mia Jormalyn Astrera Balaoro, John Lenarrd Soriano Barua, Michael Grospe Autos, and Jefferson Panghulan Parajas.

Marahuyo Studio is gifted their prize money for winning the Avida South Park Mural Design Competition.

Team leader Jhocel Malicsi and his group executed their winning mural design on one of the exterior walls of the South Park Center. Using paints provided by Davies Paints, they turned the wall into a massive, eye-catching canvas on which the theme was well-interpreted in vivid colors with a clear visual story.

Towering 20 meters above the ground, “In Her Future Memories” is the biggest creative mural in the South that is expected to draw multitudes of art lovers and visitors to South Park District, a 6.6-hectare master planned mixed-use development in Alabang, Muntinlupa City that is home to 2 Avida residential developments which are Avida Towers Ardane - a pre-selling property, and Avida Towers Altura - a move-in ready home, right across the South Park Center and South Park Corporate Center.

Officials from Avida Land were present at the official unveiling of the completed mural.

Avida Land's Marketing Head, Tess Tatco, beams with excitement for South Park District's newest attraction. The towering mural joins Reginald Yuson's existing installations, painting a vision for South Park as a vibrant place to live and thrive. Tatco envisions not just Avida residents, but people from different cities visiting the mural in person. “Come see ‘In Her Future Memories’ for yourself,” she invites everyone, “and step beneath the towering canvas, feel the pulse of the city and nature merge, and rediscover the charm of the South.”

Ulysses Jose N. Rosal III, Business Development Manager at Davies Paints, shared his excitement to have been part of the production of one of the biggest murals in the entire country.

The mural’s creative team designed the art piece to adhere to the competition’s theme of “Part City, Part Nature, Pure South”. It prominently depicts a female cyborg whose mechanical parts seamlessly blend with a backdrop of brightly hued tropical flowers, creating a fusion of technology and nature. On the left, where the flowers open up to the futuristic city skyline, onlookers are invited to imagine what tomorrow might bring.

Through its appealing imagery, the mural transports us to a world where concrete skyscrapers rise amidst vibrant flora, symbolizing a hopeful future where progress does not come at the expense of the natural world. It’s an image that evokes nostalgia and a feeling of deep connection to one’s hometown.

This artwork transcends its physical form, offering an opportunity for reflection and creative expression - where casual passersby and art lovers can capture their own special moment and share this online.

Blacklist International Stars OhMyV33nus and Wise Share Their Seamless Experience With the OPPO A98 5G — An Ultimate All-Rounder Smartphone

Tweet

Blacklist International's OhMyV33nus and Wise, collectively known as VeeWise, reveal what makes the OPPO A98 5G an ideal smartphone for Filipino’s every smartphone needs.

OPPO has consistently launched smartphones that suit and address a user’s demand. Whether you’re a young professional who lives an active lifestyle, a student who requires a phone’s assistance for everyday requirements, or maybe an avid TV/movie buff who binge watches for hours on the phone, an all-rounder smartphone that achieves more is a must-have.

The OPPO A98 5G is a suitable smartphone candidate because it has versatile features every user needs and wants. Blacklist International and OPPO Fam members VeeWise shared that the OPPO A98 5G impressed them with how it blends reliability and multifunctional performance in one device. Read on to know their thoughts on their favorite features of the device.

A Powerful Processor for Seamless Gameplay

A reliable, quality processor allows a smartphone to deliver a solid, all-around performance for everyday use. It ensures that the device is capable of smooth multitasking and worry-free gaming sessions.

The OPPO A98 5G is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset that ensures exceptional performance and power efficiency, meaning even the most demanding games run smoothly without lag or hiccups. “Personally, happy ako to have this OPPO A98 5G because I need a smartphone that has good performance and walang lag lalo na when I am playing mobile games. Buti malakas yung chipset niya so sure and mataas yung ROM so sure na no lags.,” shares OhMyV33nus. “Everytime we have training or practice, this is the phone we use kasi less yung lag and long battery life kaya uninterrupted yung bawat run lalo pag in-game kami,” Wise adds.

Immersive Display that Brings Games and Visuals to Life

The display enhances the overall smartphone experience because it adds next-level excitement and intensity to the games and apps being used. Wise notes the significance of this feature for mobile gaming, “Kapag naglalaro na kami, nagiging kami yung heroes or avatar na pinipili namin, kaya okay yung visuals ng OPPO A98 5G kasi mas feel namin yung laro. Super clear ng screen at kitang-kita lahat ng visuals kaya nakaka gana mag laro”.

With a 120Hz refresh rate, every frame is rendered with unparalleled smoothness, eliminating motion blur and ensuring you never miss a beat. This means users can enjoy fast social media scrolling, a smooth transition from one application to another, better video streaming quality, etc.

Dynamic Audio to Elevate the Device Audio Performance

Gamers are well-acquainted with how changes in sound effects can transform the atmosphere, ramping up the excitement during gameplay. This significantly alters the thrill of the overall gaming experience. With OPPO’s technologies, the OPPO A98 5G’'s dual stereo speakers provide rich, detailed audio that transports gamers straight into the game.

Another feature that pro gamer Wise loves from the OPPO A98 5G is its ability to amplify sound up to 200%. “Yung Ultra-Volume Mode feature ng OPPO A98 sobrang love ko kasi malakas talaga maka hype yung sound in playing games or kahit watching or streaming lang sa Youtube” Wise shares. Get a total feel when listening to an adventure game's addicting soundtrack or a battle royale's intense sound effects, as the device's immersive audio puts you right in the middle of the action.

Long-lasting Battery for Uninterrupted Gaming Sessions

Nothing is more disappointing than stopping a game to charge your phone, especially when you’re really into it. “Lakas makasira ng momentum pag biglang mag notify yung low battery, lalo pag nasa gitna ka ng intense na laro.” Ohmyv33nus agrees. “Buti mahaba battery life ng OPPO A98, so madalang kami mainterrupt sa mga games. “Tapos hindi ka pa masaydong mabibitin pag na lowbatt kasi sobrang bilis lang niya mag charge.” Wise added.

Good thing that the OPPO A98 5G contains a massive 5000mAh battery that can power your gaming sessions for hours on end. And when you're ready to take a break, the 67W SUPERVOOC charging technology quickly replenishes your battery so you can get back to the game in no time.
