Smart Music Live Online Sessions teams up with Bayanihan Musikahan to bring Regine Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid, Ryan Cayabyab to live online stage

Online concert to raise funds for the fight against COVID-19 continues with even bigger stars this May

Smart Communications stages Season 2 of Bayanihan Musikahan to continue to rally support for those affected by COVID-19 while uplifting the spirits of Filipinos staying safe at home. In partnership with Smart Music Live (SML) Online Sessions, the online concert series increases its vigor as the most visible Filipino citizen action platform at this time

Season 2 brings revved-up musical specials bannered by stars. The SML Online Sessions widens the reach of what promises to be a memorable night with . Asia’s Songbird herself, Regine Velasquez-Alcasid. She performs with her husband, the popular singer-songwriter Ogie Alcasid on Bayanihan Musikahan’s Facebook on Wednesday, May 20, to be streamed over Smart’s official Facebook page. 

Following the call from project lead and National Artist Ryan Cayabyab, the husband-and-wife tandem of Ogie and Regine immediately devoted time, effort, and talent to prepare for this livestream concert. Like the other 100+ musical artists who have participated, they do so gratis, and with the same big heart for their fellow Filipinos.  . 

The singer and the songwriter —who helped raise Php 5 Million for this particular show—are offering talent to assist urban poor communities find and sustain their own talent for survival. 

Exceptional team story

“Mr. C,” as Cayabyab is fondly called, emphasizes that Ogie and Regine now becomes part of an exceptional story. “The most exceptional story for me is that of working with this team in Bayanihan Musikahan.” 

“I haven’t met a team of people as highly motivated, intelligent and industrious as this team who have brought their respective expertise to the table and raised more than 70M pesos to help alleviate the plight of the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters living in Metro-Manila and outlying provinces.” 

Mr. C refers to the more than 300 Filipinos working invisibly to produce Bayanihan Musikahan and to also take care that the donated funds are immediately translated into food packs are delivered to the urban poor. These hundreds of volunteers include community organizers who are themselves urban poor, who belong to the Samahan ng Nagkakaisang Pamilya ng Pantawid (SNPP) and its allied people’s organizations. 

A substantial number of enablers of the “end-to-end” project are those with Philippine Business for Social Progess (PBSP), which has taken up more than the work of fund management for which it is well known in social development circles. PBSP has taken up the multiple challenges of transportation, linking up with vegetable and rice farmers, and organizing logistics. 

The worst and best times for musicians 

For the music industry, the chance to virtually hold hands with civil society and with the most vulnerable Filipinos takes place at a time of vulnerability for the artists as well. Cayabyab who will also be seen in a Huntahan Musikahan program on the same day as the Ogie-Regine concert, describes the unusual situation: 

“It is the worst time, and the best time for musicians, creative artists and composers. The worst time, because there are no jobs available, no live performances, no gigs, no regular work that are needed for recordings, for live TV or taped TV shows, etc.” But he also says that :  “it is the best time – because then, we can practice more, have more time perfecting our craft because there are not many distractions, and no traffic that eats up a person’s work hours”. 

“It is also the time when much creativity is happening, to address the various situations we are faced with. We are circumventing or re-thinking how to use our talents to entertain. When at first it was only to express ourselves, we are now thinking of ways to monetize our performances online. We will get through this, and we will be better musicians, performers and creative thinkers and artists,” he explained,” he explains. 

There’s also a certain kind of intimacy that online concerts provide,  Mr. C continues “We are actually closer to our audience. Anyone can interact with us when we are online. Re online concerts – we have discovered that there is still no app that can approximate real time jam. So until this is realized, we can only produce live music videos from home using the technology available. But so far – ANYONE can do online concerts with just their device (phone, tablet, laptop) plus an array of acoustic or electronic instruments or solo voice.” 

Mr. C says that adjustments had to be done by both performer and audience. “We prepare much the same way as we have always done prior to any performance. Being professionals, we know how to rev up for a performance.” 

“The only distinct difference between live and virtual performance is the hollow feeling one gets after performing a piece. Performers feed off the energy given by spontaneous reactions from the audience, like applause and standing ovations, or catcalls and jeers. Without these reactions, a performer would have to make TREMENDOUS adjustments to his/her psyche – I know we will get through this, but we will have to grapple with that strange phase first. Hearts, likes and wows emoticons can help but the performers see these only when they stop to read interactive windows. Both performers and audience will have to adjust.” 

In this sense, the adjustments that had to be made on the ground by the relief distribution volunteers during a time of great personal danger, have been enormous—and yet, from all indications, successful. PBSP and SNPP have used the new technology to be efficient and highly-energetic. 

Grateful for connectivity 

The National Artist for Music hence emphasizes the pivotal role of connectivity during these uncertain times. “Connectivity is the big star now. Online connectivity is our fastest way to communicate and to learn what we need to do in a pandemic such as this. Online connectivity is also our center of entertainment in this period of extended quarantine. Everything is there. As in everything – from varied shows, all the way to food delivery. Chat groups and community billboards and marketplaces have sprung to address our needs as an individual, family or community. There is no other medium now that can equal what online connectivity can do.” 

He added, “We even attend mass online – and we can choose to attend our parish priest’s mass, or choose to attend the Pope’s! Now, more than ever, we get to see national leaders and medical practitioners of various countries doing what they can to alleviate their people’s plight with unique solutions that other countries can adopt. Caution must be observed though – because there is also so much trash and fake news that abound. But that is for the individual to discern.” 

Continuing what SML Online Sessions began last April, this new round of live online sessions remains a way to bring together the generous spirit of the Filipino and give everyone hope as the nation presses on in its endeavors to eradicate COVID-19 and heal as one.

Carousell Launches New Category, Breathing Life into Local SMEs in the F&B Industry

Carousell, ​one of the world’s largest and fastest growing online classifieds, has partnered with Unilever Food Solutions in providing the local food and beverage (F&B) community the opportunity to continue business operations online. As the threats of COVID-19 force people to observe social distancing and movement restrictions, the online marketplace breathes life into F&B businesses.

The launch of the new “Food & Drinks” category offers local eats, special promotions and increased visibility to the platform’s millions of ​users. It also intends to connect diners to a wide array of food choices offering self-arranged delivery and pick-ups.

“​Our love for food and eating is unquestionable. Food brings a sense of comfort, of belonging and excitement. We give utmost importance to strengthening our community and we know that the Filipinos’ shared love for food will connect us better. As we go through these trying times, we continuously find ways to innovate and bridge entrepreneurs and consumers through our platform’s newest food & drinks category. ​We support local F&B owners while they reinvent themselves online and thrive despite the current economic challenge,” ​shared Raffy Montemayor, General Manager, Carousell Philippines.

“​Small local business owners like us find difficulty in sustaining our businesses. Though the government has provided avenues for financial aid, not all are eligible. Due to the quarantine measures, diners can't eat out or visit our food stalls. As consumers shift from dine-in to food take-outs and deliveries, we look for ways to pivot operations that cater to the demands of a digitally-driven world. Carousell’s efforts to provide a marketplace that can accommodate our needs to reach a wider range of potential customers has been a great help to us,” ​said Jeff Uy from 24 Chicken (@24ChickenPH).

In partnership with Unilever Food Solutions, a key food service supplier with ​brands such as Knorr, Lady’s Choice, Best Foods, Lipton, and Carte D’Or, Carousell will be onboarding hundreds of F&B businesses onto the newly created “Food and Drinks” category on its platform. The onboarding process will ensure that business owners who have not had prior experience with online operations are still able to list on Carousell for increased visibility. With Carousell listings, F&B owners will be able to provide on-demand takeaway services without having to pay a premium or commission to external vendors, and Carousellers will be able to conveniently and directly support the local F&B establishments near them. Interested F&B outlets may list on Carousell following these simple guidelines:​https://carousell.app.link/SupportLocalEats

"At Unilever Food Solutions we believe in supporting every food business, big or small. We are pleased to partner with Carousell and provide F&B businesses a platform to reach more diners, without added costs. This partnership shows our effort to help operators create new revenue streams in a digital and online environment. While the situation remains tough, we believe the F&B industry can persevere and emerge stronger together. Sama-sama, tulong-tulong.” said BJ Carreon, Managing Director, Unilever Food Solutions, Philippines and Vietnam.
They can also apply for the platform’s #SupportLocal SMEs campaign​—a subscription service giving retailers a chance to gain exposure and keep businesses afloat. The company is committing Php 9 million worth of Carousell advertising currency to ​eligible applicants that apply via ​https://caro.sl/supportlocalph on or before May 31, 2020. 

In addition, from now till May 15, all active paid subscribers will get free ​CarouBiz​ for three months.

As the shift to the new normal persists, providing assistance and equipping local owners with tools essential to empower businesses is of utmost importance. For further information, you may visit www.carousell.ph​.

Tagaytay Highlands, a worthy investment in times of uncertainty

Investing in real estate is still one of the wisest decisions that can be made these days. At this point when the global pandemic still has everyone in its grip, it is incredibly tough to manage and protect one’s wealth as capital flows and business acquisitions are expected to remain volatile. While few business opportunities are still fluid, there is nothing like a disruptive crisis to prove that Tagaytay Highlands remains a rational asset one can have for keeps.

Tagaytay Highlands continues to enact measures to keep the community safe and healthy during these trying times—such as creating a COVID-19 task force, routine cleaning and disinfection, protection for club frontliners, regulated operation of facilities as per government-mandated guidelines, and ongoing clean-up efforts in the wake of the recent Taal calamity.

According to research on trends and insights citing the pandemic’s impact on global real estate, the property industry offers good risk-adjusted returns compared to other asset classes even despite various downturns. 

Potential investors are seeing this in Tagaytay Highlands, a premier leisure development that continues to build themed residential communities. On its 25^th year of upholding its premium standing in the real estate industry, Tagaytay Highlands proves to be a worthy investment for property seekers with its new projects, improvements in facilities and amenities, and the expansion of its existing portfolio. 

Purchasing a leisure home in Tagaytay Highlands means acquiring access to its prime location and contemporary facilities. With approximately 1,200 hectares of land area, Tagaytay Highlands remains to be the only mountain resort of its kind and scale, covering the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, and Batangas. At 2,000 feet above sea level, the complex offers panoramic views of Taal Lake, Mt. Makiling, Canlubang Valley, and Laguna de Bay. 

The development’s gated and themed residential enclaves are designed to achieve a balance between the majestic natural environment and man-made conveniences. These communities are primed for expansion, making them foremost choices for investment. 

Horizon Terraces recently launched Westchase, its latest expansion. A project that features modern Asian-themed garden suites, Westchase comes with shared access to Horizon Terraces’ amenities—a lush Central Garden, swimming pools, a playground, therapeutic walkways, private nooks, and terraced gardens. 

In the pipeline is the completion of Horizon Terraces’ Garden Villas, a three-level townhouse development in the Midlands enclave. Its first cluster continues to undergo fast-track architectural and structural works.

As Tagaytay Highlands’ upscale farming community, The Grove at Plantation Hills shines as a leisure, residential and eco-farming concept-in-one. It offers orchard and garden lots ideal for growing fruit trees, herbs, and vegetables in the comforts of one’s own backyard. 

Prospective investors will be happy to note that Tagaytay Highlands is on an intensive drive to innovate for its customers.

It recently reconditioned its Swiss-engineered cable cars and funicular train transport system, which remain unique to the complex to this day. 

Recreational facilities and beverage outlets such as Peak Bar, Tagaytay Highlands Gold Club, The Country Club, and The Sports Center have also undergone renovation to improve its services to its residents, members, and guests. 

For a better Tagaytay Highlands experience, the development has likewise expanded its dining options. Its well-loved restaurants now include Concha’s Garden Café, Amare La Cucina, Lime and Basil, Gourmet Farms, Kaya Korean Restaurant, Brera Delicatessen, and Aozora Japanese Café + Bistro, while Highlander Steakhouse, Highlands China Palace, and The Great Room of The Spa and Lodge remain to be culinary hot spots. 

Investing in Tagaytay Highlands delivers higher appreciation for lot properties and condominiums.
