Brother Philippines and Brother Industries Champion Marine Conservation in Batangas Cleanup

Tweet

BATANGAS, Philippines – Brother International Philippines Corporation, a trusted brand in printing solutions in collaboration with its manufacturing facility, Brother Industries (Philippines), Inc. successfully conducted their annual Coastal Cleanup activity along the coastline of Brgy. Ticalan, San Juan, Batangas last June 22, 2024. The event aligns with the companies' dedication to environmental sustainability, particularly during the crucial hatching season of the endangered pawikans (sea turtles).

A total of 178 dedicated volunteers from both Brother organizations gathered to clean the shores of Brgy. Ticalan. Equipped with sacks and tongs, the volunteers removed plastic waste and other debris along the shorelines, ultimately filling 50 sacks of trash. This year's efforts follow last year's impactful cleanup, where 120 sacks of plastic waste were collected at the Pawikan Sanctuary in San Juan.

“We believe that our responsibility extends beyond providing high-quality products and services. Initiatives like our annual Coastal Cleanup are a testament to our dedication to preserving our coastlines and protecting marine life,” said Glenn Hocson, President of Brother Philippines.

“By working with our sister company, volunteers, and the local community, we strive to make a positive impact

The coastal cleanup plays a crucial role in protecting marine life, particularly the pawikans that nest along these shores. Plastic waste poses a significant threat to marine biodiversity and the survival of these sea turtles. By removing harmful debris, Brother Philippines and Brother Industries are actively contributing to the preservation of Batangas’ marine ecosystem.

This initiative is a testament to the Brother Group's commitment to environmental sustainability, embodied in their global slogan, "Brother Earth." It represents the collective efforts of all Brother offices worldwide, united in implementing responsible business practices and impactful community engagement to address environmental challenges.

The annual Ocean Cleanup supports the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Goal 13 (Climate Action), Goal 14 (Life Below Water), signifying Brother International Philippines Corporation’s dedication to promoting and engaging in activities that contribute to global sustainability. In addition, the initiative also supports Goal 17 (Partnership for the Goals), strengthening collaborative efforts among its partners to address environmental issues and leveraging significant and beneficial resources.

The company’s commitment extends beyond its corporate walls and Ocean Cleanup activities, fostering positive environmental change in every region it operates through collaboration with government organizations, local communities, and NGOs.

The whole initiative aligns with the Brother Group Environmental Vision 2050 in Biodiversity Conservation to minimize the environmental impact of business operations on the ecosystem and promote activities to restore and conserve the ecosystem beyond the impact.

Five reasons why you should get PLDT Home Fiber Unli All

Today’s digital life has many advantages-- from the convenience of working remotely to staying connected with your family and having a variety of choices for entertainment at home.

But while more Filipinos have access to the internet today—an estimated 69 million who spend an average of nine hours online daily—the reality is that consumers are tightening their belts to prioritize their needs. At the end of the day, we must be smarter with our budget.

Fully understanding customers’ digital needs, PLDT Home offers a new Fiber Unli All plan which bundles unlimited internet with up to 2x more speeds, unlimited mobile and landline calls, and unlimited entertainment via Cignal TV. Thus, giving families more value for their money.

1. Unli mobile calls

The Fiber Unli All Plans come with an enhanced unlimited mobile calls feature, which lets the whole family enjoy free calls and texts from mobile to mobile, unlimited calls from mobile to landline, landline to landline, and landline to mobile. To enjoy this feature, customers can register five (5) Smart or TNT numbers.

2. Unli internet with faster speeds

The Fiber Unli All plan 1399 now comes with speeds of up to 100 Mbps speeds, which is twice as fast as the previous plan at 50 Mbps. Your whole family can enjoy playing games or watching online videos on multiple devices seamlessly. Downloading and uploading heavy files from the cloud can be done in a snap at double the speed!

3. Minimize spending on a plan

Not all internet usage is the same. A household of five obviously has heavier usage than solo nesters. Conversely, the same number of people may have bigger demands if they’re gamers or working from home, and lesser demand if they’re at the office all day.

Solo nesters may opt for the Fiber Unli All Plan 1399 while families with heavy bandwidth requirement may choose Fiber Unli All Plan 1799, ensuring that they get the best deal for their internet subscription based on their digital lifestyle.

4. Premium movies and TV shows

With Fiber Unli All, you can get Cignal Plan 290 with 93 amazing channels bundled into the deal!

This gives you access to Cignal’s vast selection of premium channels that feature daily choices of popular international and local movies, TV shows, sports, news and kids’ programming. There’s really something for everyone in the family to enjoy, whether it’s classic movies and TV series or highly anticipated new blockbusters. It’ll take your family’s movie night to the next level, for sure!

5. Simplified billing, multiple services

Receiving and paying for one bill for multiple services make it easier to do monthly budget and tracking expenses, potentially leading to further savings. The convenience of paying for an internet and cable TV services (plus unlimited calls or texts for free) all in one account also enables the convenience of using digital payment apps to schedule monthly payments.

PLDT Home gives customers the option to choose between Fiber Unli All Plans 1399 and 1799, ensuring that they get the best deal for their internet subscription.
