Concentrix held the biggest virtual Family Day event of the year through a Facebook live concert

Concentrix Corporation , a leading global provider of customer experience (CX) solutions and technology, and the largest private employer in the Philippines, held the biggest virtual Family Day event of the year through a Facebook live concert.

Open to the public, the Concentrix Family Day Facebook concert last July 4 saw 267,700 viewers which was a combination of staff, family members and social media followers of the company nationwide. Called #DifferentTogether Family Day Finale, it was a culmination of month-long activities with Php 10 Million worth of prizes given away to over 6,000 of the company’s staff and their loved ones.

The star-studded finale was hosted by celebrity Toni Gonzaga, with guest performances from Billy Joe Crawford, KZ Tandingan, Sam Concepcion, and Filipino dance troupe winner of Asia’s Got Talent Season 1, El Gamma Penumbra. There was also a children’s show, live online games, grand finals of Concentrix Family’s Got Talent where the winning family accumulated Php 55,000 from elimination to championship prizes, and a live digital raffle of 25 home showcases worth Php 40,000 each.

According to Concentrix SVP and Philippines Country Leader Amit Jagga, “Even if it is not the traditional way we used to celebrate our Annual Family Day, we are very proud to host this virtually for the whole Filipino community, to show who we are and what we value as an organization, and how we appreciate and reward our team. The pandemic does not stop us from growing and giving back – we find different ways to show care for our staff and their loved ones. Hence we made sure Family Day had something in it for everyone and reward thousands of participants, so we held multiple activities for a month, culminating in this concert. Family Day is important to us, and we want it to be something our people will always remember and be proud of.”

Concentrix also recently announced that it has broken records for being the only organization hailed as Best Company, Best Employer, Best BPO Contact Center, and Best Foreign-owned Company in the Philippine ICT Awards for 2 years in a row. It also won the award for Outstanding Use of ICT Services to Fight COVID-19, for its investments on staff health and safety and its support for other employment sectors. 

Because #ChangeisBeautiful with Pond's

Kathryn Bernardo

The skin's top enemies are lack of sleep, high stress and pollution. We are on the look-out for products that would awake tired, dull skin and fights off visible signs of aging. The Ponds Institute tackles all above skin problems by inventing NEW Pond's formulations to make you feel and look beautiful. If you are ready for a beautiful change just like me, its time to switch to New Ponds.

The Pond's Beauty Council recently presented their newest Ponds celebrity ambassadors on Feb 22 at Maybank Performing Arts Center.  Ms. Kathryn Bernardo, Ms. Joey Mead - King, Ms. Toni Gonzaga, Ms. Sofia Andres along with Ponds Celebrity ambassadors were presented to the media.

Are you ready for a beautiful change? If you think about your skincare rituals from 5 to 10 years ago, the basics were able to keep your skin clear and well-hydrated. But if you take a closer look at our environment now and analyze what our skin faces each day—like pollution, harsher UV rays, and stress—you’ll realize that these basics are no longer enough. Today’s Filipina is in need of modern-day skincare solutions that can keep up with her ever-evolving skin needs and on-the-go lifestyle.

“This is why the Pond’s Institute’s recent innovations revolved around developing and improving our formulas,” says Apples Aberin, Unilever Head of PR.  “Pond’s wants to evolve with the modern-day Filipina. We want to show her that there is no need to be afraid of the ever-changing environment, because Pond’s is rising up to the challenge and changing with the times.”

Everything Beautiful Begins With Change 
With the NEW Pond’s formulations, the power to change your skin into something beautiful is always in your hands. The secret lies in looking for the ingredients and technology that your complexion needs at each stage of your life. Take a look at the NEW and improved Pond’s Acne Clear, Pond’s White Beauty, and Pond’s Age Miracle ranges, especially formulated for today’s modern woman.

Sofia Andres

For The Blooming Teen
She’s stepping out into the world on her own, and of course, with her besties. The skin challenge? Pimples, oily skin, and stubborn blemishes caused by stress, hormones, and pollution makes her feel self-conscious.

Her Pond’s Solution: Pond’s Acne Clear is clinically proven to clear acne in just three days. It contains the breakthrough Lock & Clear Technology, which is the first in the world to lock bacteria cells and clear it from the inside for beautiful, acne-clear skin. “Having clear skin helps me feel confident, so I always use the Pond’s Acne Clear Facial Wash and Acne Clear Leave-on Gel combo to keep pimples and oil away,” shares new Pond’s girl Sofia Andres. “I love how it helps my breakouts clear up a lot faster, too.”

Kathryn Bernardo

For The Girlboss-In-Progress
Whether she’s climbing the corporate ladder or making waves as a successful millennial, this hardworking woman is eager to show the world what she’s got. She lives an on-the-go lifestyle and commutes constantly for work, leaving her skin vulnerable to the sun’s damaging rays and pollution.

Her Pond’s Solution: Just 10 minutes under the sun can trigger the toughest skin problems. That’s why NEW Pond’s White Beauty uses the all-new, patented ingredient called Vitamin B3+, which works by lessening the production of melanin that causes skin darkening, and preventing the melanin from surfacing. “I noticed that I started getting dark spots from old acne marks and from being under the sun,” reveals Pond’s girl Kathryn Bernardo. “To protect my skin, I started using Pond’s White Beauty since it has SPF that protects it on the outside, and Vitamin B3+ that whitens from the inside. Using it twice daily really helped me get a rosy, white glow.”

Toni Gonzaga

For The Empowered Woman 
Years of experience—including triumphs and failures—have allowed her to know who she is and what she wants. She’s found her stride and now she’s working on letting go of her anxiety and stress, so she can enjoy her time with the ones who matter.

Her Pond’s Solution: NEW Pond’s Age Miracle helps reduce worry lines, wrinkles, skin sagging, and age spots. It has Retinol-C Complex that works 24 hours non-stop, helping to reduce wrinkles to give you a youthful glow. “As a new mom, I noticed that the late nights were starting to take a toll on my skin,” shares Pond’s Brand Ambassador Toni Gonzaga. “I tried the new formula, and after just 7 days, I noticed that I look a lot fresher and I even got my glow back!”

Joey Mead King

Making Beautiful Changes With Pond’s
The All-New Pond’s seeks to inspire women and show them that the power to make change beautiful is in her hands. “They say that the most beautiful faces in the Philippines use Pond’s—and I’m proud to be one of them,” shares new Pond’s brand ambassador, Joey Mead. “As women, it’s important that we strive to inspire and empower one another. We all have the strength and grace to transform the toughest changes into something beautiful.” 

At the forefront of skincare science and innovation since 1846, Pond’s continues to show why it is still a leader when it comes to providing superior solutions for cleansing, anti-aging, and lightening.
