EastWest Encourages Pet Owners to "Save and Pawtect" This Summer

As summer temperatures rise, many ‘pawrents’ are opting to stay indoors to keep cool, ensuring both their comfort and the safety of their pets. However, it’s important to remember that pets still need regular exercise and mental stimulation for their overall well-being. Therefore, while minimizing time outside during the hottest parts of the day is wise, planning short, safe outings in the cooler morning or evening hours is essential.

To better equip its customers with the goal of nurturing and protecting their beloved fur babies, EastWest Bank highlights its Save and Pawtect program. It’s a unique, first-of-its-kind offering perfect for pet lovers, providing comprehensive pet insurance when they open an EastWest Savings Account with a minimum balance of Php 100,000.

"Save and Pawtect" is designed to offer peace of mind to pet owners. With rising medical costs, the financial burden of veterinary care can be overwhelming. EastWest Bank’s program addresses these concerns by covering various emergencies, offering up to Php 50,000 in medical reimbursement for pets, including coverage for unfortunate events like death and burial. Eligible pets include dogs and cats aged between 5 months and 10 years, ensuring that beloved companions are covered when it matters most.

For the account holders, EastWest has considered their needs too. The insurance includes Owner’s Liability, Personal Accident, and Total Permanent Disability coverage, with benefits amounting to up to Php 50,000. Additional support, such as Accidental Medical Reimbursement and Burial Benefit in case of death due to an accident, is also included.

"Ensuring the health and safety of our beloved pets is not just a responsibility but a way of reciprocating the joy and love they bring into our lives. With 'Save and Pawtect,' we are excited to offer a financial product that honors this commitment by integrating significant pet care benefits with our trusted banking services. We believe that caring for your pet's future should be as straightforward and secure as managing your finances," said Ms. Ivy B. Uy, EVP and Head of Branch Banking Group, EastWest Bank.

This summer, let EastWest help you protect what matters most—your financial stability and your cherished pet. Visit any EastWest Store to learn more about how you can simultaneously protect your finances and care for your pet.

TeamAsia celebrates 32nd anniversary, announces new leadership

Award-winning strategic integrated marketing agency TeamAsia has named Bea Lim its new president and chief executive officer as the company celebrated its 32nd anniversary.

Bea Lim, TeamAsia president & CEO, and Monette Iturralde-Hamlin, founder & chairperson

Lim is taking over the post of her mother and the agency’s founder Monette Iturralde-Hamlin who will now sit as chairperson of TeamAsia. The announcement was made during the company’s first in-person town hall meeting since the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This transition fills me with immense pride as I am confident my daughter Bea will lead TeamAsia with the same vision and values that Michael Alan Hamlin and I instilled from the beginning,” said Iturralde-Hamlin.

Lim has been the agency’s managing director since 2013, leading overall operations, driving TeamAsia’s world-class Integrated Marketing Experience practice, and spearheading its biggest campaigns in tech, telecommunications, IT-BPM, and development aid.

She will continue driving TeamAsia’s vision and mission forward, embodying its purpose deeply rooted in nation-building with her expertise in integrated communications, management, and business development.

“We are confident that the new leadership will ensure the next 32 years and more of making things happen so that people, brands, communities, industries, and the nation succeed,” said Iturralde-Hamlin. “Driving innovation, leading to inspire, and staying resilient will remain the core of TeamAsia.”

Other key promotions and changes in the organizational structure were also announced during the town hall meeting.

Jeff Enriquez and Malou Martinez

TeamAsia’s IT & Tech Capabilities director Jeff Enriquez was promoted to Vice President of Operations while the agency’s Finance director Malou Martinez was named Vice President of Finance.

Enriquez has worked in TeamAsia since 2004, starting as a web developer before getting named Web Development director in 2009, took on the additional role of IT director in 2011 to become IT & Web director, and eventually IT & Tech Capabilities director after the merging of Digital, Creatives, and Web departments in 2021. Leveraging his 20 years of experience and passion for operational excellence, Enriquez will further strengthen TeamAsia’s infrastructure, ensuring seamless delivery and project execution.

Martinez, on the other hand, was a CPA board exam passer in 1978 and has been with TeamAsia since 2021 after several stints as finance director and chief financial officer in various US and Canada-based companies in the healthcare and auditing industries.
The management committee of TeamAsia (L-R back row): Pam Jocson, Jeff Enriquez, James Chiong, Joyce Alonzo, Lynda Consigo, (L-R front row) Malou Martinez, Shu Manalo, Monette Iturralde-Hamlin, Bea Lim, and Bev Aguilar

Amid the changes, the management committee reiterated its dedication to the agency’s goals of providing meaningful experiences, taking brands to the next level, and driving its various lines of business, Creatives, Digital, Events, and Public Relations, to flourish. The new leadership also pledged to continue fostering collaboration and paving pathways to growth.

“These changes signify our commitment to excellence in integrated marketing experiences and creating and sustaining visibility for our partners. Most importantly, it serves as a testament to our dedication to cultivating the next generation of communication experts and honing a creative, safe, and inclusive workplace,” said Lim.

TeamAsia is a key partner for the PR efforts of the IT & Business Process Association of the Philippines, the enabling body of the industry, and mounted its International Innovation Summit in 2022. The agency also handles the digital and PR initiatives of Bounty, a large-scale industrial agriculture corporation, and Pointwest, a wholly Filipino-owned IT-BPM company; the digital campaign of Himel, a global manufacturer of electrical products; and organized the most recent AI Summit in the Philippines.

From Heart to Lens: HUAWEI Pura 70 Series Immortalizes Moments of Time Together with Emotive Photo Narratives

Global tech leader HUAWEI has made another big splash in the industry with the release of its latest line of smartphones, the Pura 70 Series. With several improvements in terms of hardware and software innovation, the HUAWEI Pura 70 Series stands as a cut above its competition, particularly when it comes to its cameras’ capabilities.

Designed for those who seek to capture the world in all its fleeting beauty, the Pura 70 series introduces groundbreaking camera technology that improves the photography experience with every push of a button, and serves as an effective testament to the tech brand’s “forward-looking” approach to how they make their products. With a relentless focus on innovation and quality, Huawei continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in mobile photography.

Capture that decisive moment with ease

The HUAWEI Pura 70 Series is equipped with an advanced snapshot feature that perfectly catches the essence of an event in an instant. This capturing of the essence, otherwise known as “the decisive moment," is important due to its ephemeral, spontaneous, and fleeting nature. If your camera isn’t fast enough, you may never experience it again. With the Pura 70 Series, precious moments like the split-second of a child’s laughter, a bird taking flight, or the perfect sunset, are captured with stunning detail and clarity.

Being able to capture memories quickly without compromising the image’s visual integrity can largely be attributed to different configurations and tunings calibrated within each phone model. Even with the base Pura 70 model, you’re equipped with a 13 MP ultra-wide-angle lens for expansive shots and a 12 MP periscope telephoto camera with an impressive 100x zoom range.

With the Pura 70 Pro and Pura 70 Ultra, however, the zoom capacity is enhanced to an extraordinary 200x. Additionally, the Pura 70 Pro features a 48 MP Ultra Lighting Macro Telephoto Camera, perfect for capturing intricate details up close with stunning clarity. The Pura 70 Ultra is equipped with a 40 MP ultra-wide-angle camera, ensuring that every shot taken is captured in crisp detail.

Heartwarming moments

In today's fast-paced world, moments slip by in the blink of an eye, so being able to successfully capture and preserve them has become invaluable and priceless. XMAGE's state-of-the-art technology empowers its users to catch and immortalize these heartwarming experiences that define our everyday lives. With these images, XMAGE is able to help us treasure and give importance to significant moments of joy, discovery, and beauty, and to keep them as reminders that life is always filled with cherished memories.

During the hustle and bustle of everyday life, there are always instances where heartwarming stories emerge in each of us. These fleeting moments can be readily found whenever we participate in our different hobbies, passions, and even daily activities. Through XMAGE, these moments of time are turned into tangible pieces which can be locked, preserved, and enjoyed for years to come.

With moments of smiles, the Pura 70 series excels in capturing genuine emotions, particularly the warmth and joy of Filipinos. XMAGE perfectly photographs these inspiring instances where, despite the everyday challenges that they face, the Filipinos continue to push through with resilience and a smile on their faces. By paying tribute to these characteristics, HUAWEI honors the unwavering spirit of the Filipino people.

One of the reasons why we photograph is because we find the subject to be beautiful one way or another. This includes beauty sculpted by hardships and determination. A perfect example is the body of an athlete, where the XMAGE seamlessly reveals its symmetry, and reveals what happens when perseverance and ambition is added to the mix. These moments of beauty are immortalized with HUAWEI, but more importantly, they celebrate the often-unseen connection between beauty, hard work, and life’s biggest achievements.

Lastly, moments of discovery empower users to seek out and capture hidden wonders in everyday life. From the intricate patterns of fabric to the vibrant colors of a bustling marketplace, every moment of discovery eventually turns into a lasting memory. The enhanced zoom and macro capabilities allow you to explore the world up close, revealing details that are often overlooked. This feature encourages you to explore and appreciate the little things that make life unique and fascinating.

Together, these four moments work harmoniously to capture the decisive moment. By combining the ability to freeze time, capture genuine emotions, reveal the world's beauty, and discover hidden details, the Pura 70 series ensures that no significant moment goes unnoticed.
