Put yourself in someone else's shoes or slippers and continue to spread love and positivity with Havaianas!

For Pinoy kids who grew up in the 70’s through the 90’s the slippers or tsinelas was more than just a type of footwear: it was a symbol of summer—and freedom from the black leathers shoes that we wore in school; a toy / prop for street games such as tumbang preso and sipa; and also a nanay’s choice of weapon for dishing out some punishment.

 

It was way back during the Spanish era when Filipinos were first introduced to “chinelas” a versatile footwear you can wear come rain or shine. But it was less than two decades ago when we finally called it “flip-flops” just like the rest of the world—and that was because of Havaianas.

 

In an interview, Havaianas Philippines founder Anne Gonzalez, said it was Havaianas’ distinct summer branding that “strikes a chord with Filipinos.”

 

“Growing up in the Philippines, whenever we think about the last day of school, about childhood memories, or something fun and nostalgic, those thoughts would almost always tie back to summer,” she notes. “It’s something that connects with us—the idea of that season as an awesome and positive feeling. And that’s what we deliver with our brand. For us, summer is a state of mind. It’s not just a season,” Gonzalez shared.

 

“You know, life can get so complicated and the world today is so uncertain,” Gonzalez says. “If we can give people a little bit of happiness on their feet, why not?,” she added.

 

And with everything that’s happened in the past year we really could use some happiness wherever it might come from.

 

This summer, Havaianas is launching a new campaign where for every pair of Havaianas you buy, they will donate 1 Havaianas pair to a frontliner hero! 

 

As part of Havaianas' empathy campaign, they  recognize our Health Care workers, Farmers, and frontliners that are making sacrifices every day for the greater good.  

 

Havaianas pairs come in different designs. Choices are endless for every personality, mood, or occasion. Havaianas brings good vibes to people of all ages, backgrounds, nationalities and styles. The designs and materials are perfectly suited for the tropical climate of the Philippines and its relaxed culture. The flip-flops can be worn all day long without sacrificing comfort and quality.  

 

 

How’s that for spreading some summer cheer?

 

Now you can share the same comfort and quality with the real heroes of this pandemic—our frontliners who risk their lives everyday in this battle against an unseen enemy. Everyday their tired feet deserves some comfort, and what better way to help them relax than with a fun pair of Havaianas.

Put yourself in someone else's shoes or slippers and continue to spread love and positivity with Havaianas! Shop Havaianas in Shopee !

Donate a pair of Havaianas flip-flops when you purchase one (1) pair at https://shopee.ph/havaianas.

Sing Galing, Ang Original Videoke Kantawanan ng Bansa is back!

Are you ready to Sing-Galing? The longest videoke singing reality show is back with the help of Sing Masters Randy Santiago, Donita Nose, and K Brosas, as the show’s hosts, and Juke Bosses Rey Valera, Ronnie Liang, and Jessa Zaragoza as the jury.

Cignal Entertainment and TV5 brings back the well-loved pioneer videoke game show—Sing-Galing! Set to premiere this Monday, April 5, Sing-Galing has since been upgraded with its new features, extra challenges, and hilarious antics.

 

Aiming to reach anyone who loves to sing -- young or old; pro or amateur -- the show encourages everyone to join in, ‘Magkaka-sing galing tayong lahat!,’ so its mantra says. Each episode offers a platform for three contestants, dubbed as singtestants, to compete through three (3) fun rounds that will challenge their luck, knowledge of songs, and lyrics recall, to determine the BidaOke Star of the Night who will be vying all the way to the grand finals. 

 

With the help and expertise of Sing Masters Randy Santiago, Donita Nose, and K Brosas, as the show’s hosts, and Juke Bosses Rey Valera, Ronnie Liang, and Jessa Zaragoza as the jury, both the contenders and Ka-Awit-Bahay are up for weeknight harmonies with their family and loved ones. Even the iconic Genie is back, this time with a revamped look to go along with his onscreen antics. Netizens, meanwhile, also get a chance to experience Sing-Galing’s digiverse, to be hosted by Viral Zinger Zendee.

On what viewers can look forward to, Ronnie Liang said, “Dito sa Sing Galing mai-expect nating mga ka-awitbahay of course ‘yung labanan ng mga pagalingan sa pagvi-videoke. Masusubok pa lalo kung sino talaga ‘yung master when it comes to doing the videoke thing. Kaming mga Jukebosses naman, makikita nila kung gaano kami kagaling mag-analyze ng mga performances nila sa pagvi-Videoke.”

 

On that note, Jessa Zaragoza added, “Sa tingin ko talagang magkakaroon kami ng pagkakaiba sa desisyon. Bilang mga Jukebosses siguradong iba-iba kaming mapipili niyan pero sigurado akong malalaman namin kung sino ang pinaka-may K kumanta.”

 

First aired in the late ‘90s, Sing-Galing—which is a multi-awarded Videoke Game show, and the first of its kind in the Philippines and Asia—gives equal opportunity for everyone to earn by simply singing. Participants don’t need to be experts and professionals in the art; they only need guts and fun to compete at a karaoke format.

 

“Napanood ko ito dati, maganda siya. Hindi kasi siya napakapormal tapos may tawanan din. So maaaliw ka kahit paano, enjoyable siya panoorin. Dito mo makikita ‘yung culture ng mga Filipino bilang mga singer, mga mahihilig sa videoke,” recalled Donita Nose, to which fellow host Randy Santiago seconded, saying: “Very expressive ‘yung mga Filipino di ba, regardless whether nasa tono ka o maganda ‘yung boses mo, pero kapag nando’n ka sa mga handaan, makikita mo ‘yung mga pamilya talaga hindi makakalampas na hindi ka kakanta eh. ‘Yon ang pagka-Filipino. Hindi pwedeng sasabihin mo na, hindi ka marunong kumanta, lahat kahit paano may tono. At alam naman natin kapag videoke, may score ‘yon at ‘yon ang nakakatuwa.”

 

More than anything, this is TV5’s way of providing relief during a time of uncertainty. Sing Galing! not only brings the karaoke bar or party experience closer to home, but it also creates an avenue for families and communities to bond and come together in song.

 

K Brosas assured, “Masaya ‘to, fun, I think ‘yon lang naman ang ating goal, na sa gabi, sa hapunan ay light, kantawanan, di ba? Masarap na hindi masyadong serious na kantahan dahil ‘yung mga hosts hindi naman din seryoso masyado. It’s gonna be fun, super fun.”

 

Tune in at 6:30PM everyday on TV5, for an entertaining, light, and enjoyable bonding experience for everyone and anyone who enjoys singing—Sing Galing, Ang Original Videoke Kantawanan ng Bansa!

foodpanda also credits its success to a community of freelance riders that increasingly welcomes women

Innovation, convenience, and safety have pushed on-demand delivery or quick commerce as a thriving sector in recent years and an essential one amid the pandemic. As a business that thrives through the contributions and success of each player in its ecosystem, foodpanda Philippines ensures to create a balanced arena that benefits everyone. This includes nurturing a gender-balanced workforce and delivery ecosystem. 

 

At foodpanda Philippines, women account for over 50% of the total employee population, many of which are at the helm of their teams. Female employees thrive as leaders at foodpanda as they make up around 40% of the company’s senior managers and 45% of its team leaders. Around 54% of other managerial level roles are also taken up by women.

 

Among the different departments of foodpanda, the commercial team has the most women employees. Almost 64% of the team, which handles sales operations, account management, and partner vendor acquisition, is made up of women. The same team is considerably one of the obvious drivers of growth in the company as more customers and businesses sign up on the foodpanda platform.

 

“foodpanda Philippines will continue to thrive because we are committed to creating and maintaining a balanced system wherein everyone benefits. With an exemplary and hardworking team in the company, many of whom are women who were born leaders, will surely help in serving more customers and communities effectively,” said foodpanda Philippines Managing Director, Daniel Marogy.

foodpanda superstar rider, Maria Gepayo is able to juggle her multiple roles: foodpanda rider, barangay kagawad, BPO worker, online entrepreneur, and mother.

 

As a provider of on-demand service, foodpanda also credits its success to a community of freelance riders that increasingly welcomes women. While riders are still mostly male, there are currently around 250 female riders nationwide who are delivering food and more to different communities. Apart from being riders, these women juggle other jobs and roles. There are mothers, call center agents, and small business owners. Being a foodpanda rider allows them to have a reliable stream of income while still having time for other opportunities outside the company. 

 

Following the challenging year of community quarantine and mobility restrictions, foodpanda was still able to serve customers, and support its partner businesses. In the past year, foodpanda has expanded its operations to more than 100 cities in the country. The company has also tripled the number of customers served, and more than quadrupled its vendor base.

 

foodpanda welcomes more women in the workforce who make it possible for the company to better reach its goal of creating a balanced system for everyone. Through its dynamic and balanced team, foodpanda Philippines is more than ready to achieve greater heights in quick commerce.
