Matrix Announces Retail Launch of Cardio Line for Home Use

Johnson Health Tech launches its Matrix Line of cardio fitness equipment at the Acacia Hotel on May 9. The event was hosted by the Celebrity Fitness couple Coach Jim and Toni Saret. 

We had the privilege of trying out the equipment. I personally love the Treadmill machine because it has a built in virtual reality where you could set your run to a road or a mountain. If you have no space in the house, you could lift the treadmill deck to a near- 90 degree angle to save space. Plus it has a sturdy steel frame to provide superior grip and stability.

Johnson Health Tech is excited to announce the retail launch of its Matrix line of cardio fitness equipment. Previously available only in a gym or club setting, users can now experience the dynamic performance and uncompromising design of Matrix products from the comfort of their own home.

“For years Matrix Fitness has been a trusted partner in the commercial fitness industry worldwide, and we are excited to extend the Matrix brand to our home fitness customers,” said Mark Zabel, Vice President, Global Marketing and Product Development for Johnson Health Tech. “Matrix retail products are designed to bring a premium workout experience to the home – ensuring our customers a higher level of satisfaction with their fitness routine.” 

Optimized for the home environment, the Matrix retail line offers the same durability, performance and industry-leading technology that fitness enthusiasts love about Matrix’s club-quality equipment. With a compact design, the machines fit comfortably in the home workout space, and the superior styling of the industrial design sets a new standard for how home fitness equipment should look. Three different intuitive consoles give users choices, whether they’re looking for an advanced experience that includes access to their favorite apps, social media, premium entertainment, stunning virtual journeys and much more, or a simple display with accurate, easy-to-read feedback that tracks heart rate, distance, watts and other workout metrics.

The Matrix retail line includes:

Treadmills – Offering the industry’s most advanced frame and deck combination, Matrix treadmills strike the perfect balance between engineering and aesthetics. The welded steel frame provides superior stability and the front wheel transport makes moving the treadmill easy. The Ultimate Deck System combines a heavy-duty frame, extra-thick deck and industrial-grade cushions for miles of durable performance. Also available in a folding design, the deck can be lifted to a near-90 degree angle and rolled away to save space. Additional performance options include the exclusive Johnson Drive System providing unmatched consistency and smoothness, available on the TF50.

Ellipticals – The most compact, most comfortable and smoothest ellipticals in the industry, Matrix ellipticals feature wheel- and track-free Suspension Elliptical Technology, which reduces noise and friction, while providing a smooth, consistent feel. Available on the E50 model, the exclusive Exact Force Induction Brake offers smooth, easy and precise resistance changes at the touch of a button.

Ascent Trainers – Matrix Ascent Trainers deliver an exceptionally smooth, ultra-comfortable exercise experience. The unique suspension design with PerfectStride leveraged extensive research to combine an ideal stride motion, ergonomically correct foot positioning, correct posture and a variable stride length that adjusts as incline changes for a more natural-feeling workout. Similar to Matrix ellipticals, the Ascent Trainers feature wheel- and track-free Suspension Elliptical Technology.

Bikes – Matrix exercise bikes are designed for users of all shapes and sizes and are available in upright and recumbent bike designs. The upright and recumbent bikes feature Matrix’s Dual Form Frame, which provides superior stability and easy step-through access, as well as an ergonomic Comfort Arc Seat to maximize support, and the Exact Force Induction Brake (select models), which makes it easy to quickly and smoothly change resistance. The Matrix ES Indoor Cycle offers a true-to-life riding experience with a smooth, heavy flywheel and easy adjustments to give every user an ideal riding position.

A Lifelong Education: Montessori de San Juan School

It is often said that apart from parental guidance and family life, a child’s education is the cornerstone in their upbringing. Indeed, a well-focused, reality-based, and engaging educational environment provides a superior toolkit for children to succeed and thrive in the world they will eventually inherit.

Examining this new world, however, will almost certainly lead to a common realization. Under present – and more so, future – conditions, success stems from being collaborative, multi-faceted, self-driven, highly adaptable, and innovative. It is a world where the traditional system of rote memorization, subject isolation, standardized tests, and enormous class sizes might not equip young minds with the necessary skills and mindset needed to stand out and flourish.

“Is traditional schooling a bad thing? Absolutely not. It was designed during a specific time period, under specific conditions, to serve a particular purpose,” explained Sandy Arellano, an education specialist who has done extensive research on learning theory, child development, and applied instruction. “During that time, the key to success was standardization and uniform quality – that was the prevailing movement in terms of production and employment. This was therefore reflected in the way students were taught,” she further noted.

As decades passed, however, more and more new information emerged, as well as a radical shift in the socio-economic landscape. Rather than evolve with the times, traditional schooling instead chose to cram as much data into students.

“This is why we have a big problem now, where children are over-scheduled, over-pressured, and over-worked by an educational system that is supposed to nurture a love for learning in them. The opposite usually happens,” Arellano pointed out.

The school that Arellano runs, Montessori de San Juan, has made it their mission to treat students as valued individuals, rather than simply a class number or a test score. As such, Montessori de San Juan employs small class sizes, multi-age settings, and subjects that are seamlessly integrated, mirroring how a working society functions.

Children learn through a variety of methods that are best suited for them, including interactive participation, tactile materials, sensory techniques, and mentorship. The application of concepts is given equal importance to the concepts themselves, thus imparting a real-world, practical dimension to the things that students learn.

“In the past couple of years, the educational system of Finland has received a lot of attention because of the way they do things differently, and how well their students do compared to their peers,” Arellano noted. “I think this is a great thing, but a lot of Filipinos may not be aware that we’ve been applying a very similar methodology right here in our country, with essentially the same results. Why read about it when you can have your kids experience it for themselves?” the educator emphasized.

For over 40 years, Montessori de San Juan has provided a successful learning environment for their students which includes an emphasis on love for learning, continuous development, and values formation. Educators at the school wholeheartedly believe and apply these philosophies in their K-12 program.

Epson provides technical training to Gift of Brightness beneficiary San Jose Elementary School-Pagibig sa Nayon Annex

Epson Philippines imparted important technical know-how in operating the Epson products to San Jose Elementary School Pag-ibig sa Nayon Annex in Quezon City.The school had earlier received a donation through the Gift of Brightness Program, in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd). Product orientation and technical trainings were put into place to enable the school faculty and students to maximize the use of the Technology Package and help enrich the learning process for Filipino students.

Each beneficiary school received an Epson Technology package that includes the L220 Multifunction Color Printers and L Series Inks; M100 Single Function Monochrome Printers and Inks; an LQ310 Dot Matrix Printer and SIDM Ribbons, LW400 Label Printers and LW Ribbons, Epson projectors and a document camera.

Epson’s Mark Raleih Esguerra(left) leads the technical training and product orientation conducted for San Jose Elementary School Pag-ibig sa Nayon Annex faculty to help them be equipped in using the Epson Technology package donated under the Gift of Brightness program.

 

“These technical training sessions for all schools that received the Epson GoB Technology Package ensure that we also provide relevant assistance to the custodians and students on the proper usage and maintenance, so that they can have confidence in deploying the use of these products for teaching and learning,” shared Mr. Ed Bonoan, Senior General Manager and Head of Marketing, Epson Philippines

Since the launch of the Epson Gift of Brightness, Epson has partnered with key media and government institutions to select the most-deserving and in-need schools that can benefit from the technologically advanced equipment, including high-volume printers, high brightness projectors and user-friendly scanners.

“Until now, teachers use a lot of Manila Paper to produce visuals for their students. Sometimes we also use an overhead projector that requires a lot of acetates. But now, thanks to Epson, we have a projector to replace those old teaching tools, and we are sure that this will motivate our students to study harder and help them be more engaged in the day-to-day lessons,” shared Principal Joey Mancia, who heads both the Pag-ibig sa Nayon Annex and the San Jose Elementary School Main.

San Jose Elementary School Pag-ibig sa Nayon Annex faculty led by Principal Joey Mancia (back, middle) joins the Epson team during the GOB Technical Training session.


The Pag-ibig sa Nayon Annex of San Jose Elementary School consistently ranks among the top schools of the DepEd NCR Quezon City Division.

The Gift of Brightness advocacy of Epson Philippines was launched in December 2013, and has now benefited a total of 30 schools nationwide. Epson Philippines is currently selecting another batch of beneficiary schools with the help of DepEd and other partners.

“The Epson Gift of Brightness program is our advocacy for education and the Filipino youth.After our first partnership with the Department of Education last year, we are now embarking on another batch of beneficiaries for the Epson-DepEd Gift of Brightness, and some other schools that have directly asked Epson for help. We are focusing on selecting schools from areas that have yet to receive a similar donation. The new batch of GoB schools will be very soon,” concludes Ms. Donna V. Ferro, Head of Marketing Communications and PR, Epson Philippines.

“Brave Nights” at Alek Cafe

“Little steps can go a long way,” says Michiko Unso, artist and Managing Partner of Alek Cafe + Kitchen. Unso knows whereof she speaks.

Unso has been rabidly supporting BRAVE, a series of JCI Makati Princess Urduja Empowerment Project for Women, Abused Children, and LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) communities.

Driven and indefatigable, Unso’s foremost passions include food and the performing arts. When she and some partners thought of putting up a restaurant business, they knew that it couldn’t be just any run-of-the-mill establishment.

Thus, Alek Café + Kitchen + Art Space was born which serves good coffee, food, and other beverages (try the Alchemist Coffee which is a winner) while supporting the arts in all its many forms and the advocacies that Unso champions. “When we conceptualized this space, I wanted to support local artists, ’yung mga gustong mag-exhibit. We (will) sell the art pieces and proceeds will go to the artist and to BRAVE,” recalls Unso.

The first artist featured at Alek Café + Kitchen + Art Space is Paul Anthony Gustilo who has held overseas exhibits most notably at the Art Square Gallery in Kuala Lumpur in 2013. Since he ventured into the visual art in 1992, Gustilo has had many combined solo and group exhibits overseas and in the Philippines in venues such as the Heritage Gallery in SM Megamall, Shangri-La Plaza mall, and the Ayala Mall in Cebu.  

Gustilo was an easy choice, says Unso. “Several artists showed us samples of their artwork. One of our first considerations was that the pieces should be a good fit for the artsy yet intimate vibe of the place, nothing gory since we’re a hit among the Legazpi Village crowd during lunchtime.” 

Gustilo comes from a family of artists since his father is a doctor-slash-painter while his grandfather used to be a background artist at Walt Disney Studios in the ‘80s. Gustilo’s exhibit is dubbed “Van Gogh Pop Art” which features works that are an interpretation of the great but tortured Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh’s immortal works.

“Yung klase ng art n’ya (Gustilo), pop art pero based sa mga classics like Van Gogh’s works,” says Unso. Van Gogh’s works are characterized by bold colors and dramatic, impulsive, and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art.

Gustilo shares that he has only recently dabbled into pop art. “In one of our international exhibits, binansagan nila akong rocker artist because of the boots I was wearing.”

At Alek Café + Kitchen + Art Space, one is treated to a multidimensional experience that is at once relaxing, challenging, and satisfying to all the senses. “I think that it’s a good idea to teach people to appreciate local artists, local food, and coffee and its many categories,” says Unso.

When Unso talks about her journey towards coffee appreciation, it is with feverish enthusiasm. Coffee beans come in three waves, says Unso --- the first wave, the second wave, and the third wave. Their beans at Alek belong to the third wave; they are not mass-produced and go under strict quality control. “We do our own blend, the roasting is fresh, and we use single origin beans, which means that every type of coffee bean comes from one country, one province, one city, and one farm.” Alek Café + Kitchen + Art Space also supports local farmers since Arabica beans which are pricey are only grown in high altitude places in the country like Benguet and Sagada.

Unso derives comfort from having happily welded all her passions --- food, the arts, and women’s, children’s and LGBTQ’s rights --- into one tastefully-designed space at the heart of a primarily business district that is Makati. Located at the Ground Floor of Builders Centre, 170 Salcedo St. in Legazpi Village, Makati, Alek Café + Kitchen + Art Space has begun “Brave Nights,” which started last April 17, with a new presentation this May 13 and every month afterwards.

“Brave Nights” are monologues and spoken word on issues of women and the LGBTQ community performed by different artists which some of them wrote themselves. “Kahit sa maliit na lugar, mahalaga na magkaroon sila ng boses,” stresses Unso.

The opening monologue during the April 17 showcase was Suffragette, written by Jose Victor Torres, it was about a "traditional" and "subservient" wife having a conversation with her congressman husband about the right of women to vote.

The next monologue, entitled Kiriring (from the play Kiriring, Aida, at Macaraig), an emotionally exhaustive take on physical, emotional and sexual abuse that resulted to her acquiring the dreaded HIV virus.

 The third featued monologue, This is My Life, is a bitter sweet representation on the life of an aging gay performer.It was one part nostalgia, one part laugh out loud moments. all part truthful. The many ups and downs of the performer's life mirrored through the Shirley Bassey pop aria.

Capping the first edition of "Brave Nights" was Petunia, a monologue of a woman in her twilight years, who made a vow to enjoy the best years of her life while doing the things she love - dancing, singing and loving herself more.

Unso is progressive-minded and is quick to clarify that AIDS is not the only issue that the LGBTQ community struggles with. “Discrimination is everywhere, most notably in the workplace. Hindi ka puwedeng magsuot-babae if you’re gay kapag sa isang kompanya ka nagta-trabaho.”

Named after Unso’s tall and lovely 14-year-old daughter Mikaelah Alekssandra, Alek Café + Kitchen + Art Space is a fusion of the things that affect us in our daily lives in both cerebral and visceral ways. “Hopefully, in our little way, we will be able to teach people to appreciate good food and care more for people and local artists,” concludes Unso.

Unbeatable Worry-Free Driving, only with Goodyear

When my father used to run a machine shop business a long time ago, I remember that one of our most valuable clients were Goodyear Philippines.

That was why we always got Goodyear tires for all our vehicles back then. So it was sort of a nostalgic experience when I attended a Goodyear event last week, although I don't know anyone from the company, still it brought back a lot of memories when I used to accept orders from the company.

Goodyear launched their new and improved Worry Free Assurance warranty program that gives you emergency roadside assistance, complimentary servicing, and have your tires replaced, all for free. It’s all part of Goodyear’s commitment to give you a better drive.

In a country where poorly maintained roads, and epic traffic jams in sweltering heat are the norm rather than the exception, a reasonable annual fee for 24/7 nationwide Emergency Roadside Assistance and towing is an investment worth considering, but getting Emergency Roadside Assistance free is even better especially if it comes from a company of unquestionable reliability.

And this exactly is just one of the things Goodyear now offers Filipino motorists with the rollout of the new and improved Worry Free Assurance, the first, latest, and most comprehensive warranty coverage from Goodyear Philippines.

In the cutthroat automotive industry that has enjoyed a streak of three consecutive record breaking years in terms of sales, a lot of dealers now include Emergency Roadside Assistance as a part of their warranties, especially on premium vehicles.  The thing is though, this is the Philippines where 10 year old cars are common, and as a people we tend to be sentimental about our cars and to hang on to them well over five years. One of the concerns with Emergency Roadside Assistance attached to a vehicle warranty is that older car owners can’t benefit from it.

That is the beauty of Goodyear’s Worry Free Assurance now Emergency Roadside Assistance is attached not to a car that will last 10-15 years but to a set or even just a pair of tires that will last between up to 3 years depending on mileage and vehicle condition; and there is no tire company in the Philippines more reputable than Goodyear.   Goodyear is virtually a household name in the Philippines, it is one of the biggest and oldest tire companies in the world.  If any company has the stability, the knowhow, and the resources to confidently offer a 24/7 Emergency Roadside Assistance nationwide in the Philippines, it is Goodyear.

The Goodyear Worry Free Assurance is now the standard warranty coverage that comes with selected models of Goodyear tires.  Fulfilled in partnership with MAA Assurance as the insurance and emergency roadside assistance partner, the Worry Free Assurance guarantees 24/7 Emergency Roadside assistance not just for tire-related incidents, but for any vehicle breakdown as well as a Personal Accident Insurance of up to P50,000 for the driver of the enrolled vehicle. Also included in the coverage are Goodyear’s 5 year limited warranty (from date of purchase) against manufacturer defects, one year Road Hazard Warranty (for select tire patterns)and an easy 0% interest payment scheme for up to 6 months.

Getting your Goodyear Worry Free Assurance card is FREE when you purchaseat least two eligible Goodyear tires of the same pattern and size. This is exclusively offered in Goodyear Autocareand Servitekoutlets.  The vehicle the tires are used on then becomes eligible for Worry Free Assurance and all of its benefits.

Goodyear believes that the tire business is a primarily a business of providing safety, which is why Goodyear scientists and engineers have tirelessly worked to improve Goodyear products for over a hundred years. Goodyear also believes that the commitment to the safety and well-being of customers goes beyond manufacturing superior products.  It is ultimately about providing superior service, particularly in times of need.  The many Goodyear Autocareand Servitekoutlets Goodyear has operated over the years are a testament to that commitment, the rollout of Worry Free Assurance takes that commitment to the next level.

“Goodyear is committed to being the most trusted brand in tires and automotive services in the country. Recognizing that high quality services are extremely important to our customers in the maintenance of their vehicles, customers of our Goodyear Autocare outlets will be served by an expert team, who are provided with the latest equipment in auto servicing. And with the new Goodyear Worry Free Assurance warranty program, we are stepping up and setting the bar high for unparalleled warranty offerings,” shared Kenneth Sambajon, Market Director of Goodyear Philippines.

Its Back-to-School season with Robinsons Supermarket "Learn Wellness"

Back in the day, when my kids (from grade school to high school)  were all studying. (In college, they opted to an increase allowances). I always had a hard time preparing for their baon. It would always be fried eggs, ham, hotdogs, fried chicken with rice, biscuits (1 hi-ro and 1 skyflakes) and an egg sandwich on rotation. They would request me to tweak their baons from time to time. Nakakasawa na daw kase. Sometimes, I ended up whipping a pandesal and a coconut jam or a pandesal with kesong puti and a mayonnaise spread.

In this time and day,  millenials are pushing everyone to eat healthier, more eco-friendly foods like eggs and chia seeds. Thanks to today's generation. The rise of the healthy meal preparation with fresh and healthy ingredients are the norm.
