Sarah Geronimo, KathNiel, SB19 to headline Acer Day 2021!

The annual Acer Day celebration is back this year and will be held virtually across 10 regions. Amid the challenges of the pandemic, this event which features fabulous rewards, promotions, and gifts has been themed ‘Live Your World’ to encourage everybody to make the best of whatever situation they are in. 

Acer Day was first introduced in 2017 to celebrate the brand’s achievements with customers. This year, Acer is bringing the celebration online due to public health concerns during the pandemic. In line with the ‘Live Your World’ theme, Acer collaborated with six young and vibrant singers virtually to produce the special song of the theme title.

“Most of us are encouraged to stay home and reduce social activities. However, we want to tell all our fans that staying at home does not mean you have to be alone. The Acer Day theme of ‘Live Your World’ this year draws inspiration from the belief that all of us can make the best of any situation and continue to live our lives, no matter where we are and what constraints we are under. Technology has broken barriers and enabled people to stay connected even more. We believe music is the best medium to transcend borders and circumstances, that’s why we invited the artists to create a special song -Live Your World,” said Andrew Hou, president of Acer Pan Asia Pacific Operations.

 

Acer has prepared a series of performances and activities that will go live at 8:00PM PST on August 7, 2021 as a platform for everyone to connect simultaneously this year. The event can be viewed together by all at Acer Facebook.

MSMEs come together for the World Vision and ComCo SEA Cause Marketing for Good initiative

As part of their initiative to support MSMEs, global development and advocacy organization World Vision and regional integrated communications agency ComCo Southeast Asia held the Cause Marketing for Good Virtual Conference to give MSMEs the chance to do good for themselves and for others. Different experts from renowned brands and agencies around the country joined the event and shared information, experiences and learnings about cause-related marketing or CRM to help equip MSMEs on how to champion social issues through their marketing efforts.

 

It’s been over a year since COVID-19 struck and people all around the world are still trying to cope. Millions were left jobless as businesses closed down in the middle of the pandemic. In the Philippines, micro, small and medium enterprises or MSMEs were hit especially hard as they try to keep their businesses afloat while facing huge hurdles brought about by economic downturn, quarantine regulations, and the pandemic itself. But even when faced with these challenges, MSMEs from around the country have come together to find ways to give back to vulnerable communities.

 

(From top left) Robinsons Supermarket Marketing Manager Angela Totanes, AirAsia Head of Branding and Creatives David Viray, Lazada Strategic Partnerships Senior Associate Yshana Wong, ComCo Southeast Asia Regional Integration & Chief Executive Director Ferdinand Bondoy, World Vision Ambassador Gelli Victor, World Vision Resource Development Director Jun Godornes, IdeasXMachina Group Of Hakuhodo CEO Third Domingo, World Vision National Director Rommel Fuerte and David and Golyat President and Co-Founder Miko David.

“We at World Vision together with ComCo Southeast Asia and our esteemed speakers are honored to present this online conference in hopes that it will inspire MSMEs to start or to strengthen their own cause marketing initiatives,” shared World Vision National Director Rommel Fuerte. “Likewise, we thank all our corporate partners throughout the years for working with us in various initiatives that promote children's wellbeing. As we lift each other this time of pandemic and look after vulnerable families, communities and all children, may God sustain us and be our ultimate source of strength, wisdom and peace.”

 

The online conference included sessions on defining CRM and developing and implementing a CRM campaign by Angela Totanes, marketing manager of Robinsons Supermarket; CRM’s impact on brand image, sales and consumer behavior by David Viray, head of branding and creatives at AirAsia; the results of their study “Cause Marketing & Driving Digital Uplift” by Miko David, president and co-founder of David and Golyat; and how to use e-commerce to forward your cause by Yshana Wong, Lazada Philippines’ strategic partnerships senior associate. There was also a panel on how to create effective CRM campaigns featuring experts and practitioners of the field such as Ferdinand Bondoy, regional integration and chief executive director, partner and co-founder of ComCo Southeast Asia for public relations and Third Domingo, founder and CEO of IdeasXMachina for creatives.

“Doing cause oriented projects is not a nice to have anymore. It is a must, especially at these challenging times. It is each one's responsibility to help rebuild the society, as business will only flourish if the economy is in place,” shared Ferdinand Bondoy. “Now more than ever, cause-related marketing is becoming an important tool because it not only lets businesses nurture deeper relationships with their consumers, but it also allows them to bring more attention to social causes, doing some good in the process. It’s a good time for businesses to start integrating social causes into their plans and help make a significant change to our country and our world when it’s needed the most.”

Mr. Bondoy also announced the upcoming Igniting Social Good Project – a competition for MSMEs that joined the virtual conference, where participants will create an original cause marketing campaign that supports people and communities that have been affected by the pandemic. The chosen enterprise will win ComCo Southeast Asia’s ignite package – an integrated communications services package for MSMEs for the chance to make their winning cause marketing campaign come to life.

“We are excited to see so many companies interested in cause marketing and promoting social causes. As part of our advocacy for MSMEs, we created this competition in partnership with World Vision to support those enterprises who want to do good and be a driving force for social change,” added Mr. Bondoy.

World Vision and ComCo Southeast Asia’s Cause Marketing for Good campaign aims to support and teach MSMEs how to make their businesses relevant through effective and sustainable cause-related marketing campaigns that can rally support from the public.

Huawei has showcased three new products: The HUAWEI WATCH 3, FreeBuds 4, and the Scale 3 Pro

With the different challenges we’re encountering over the past year, we’re highly encouraged to stay at our best. As we're in the latter part of the year, our health will always be our priority – both mentality and physically. Given this, Huawei has showcased three new products that work together perfectly, giving you the best benefits, you can gain for inspiring you to live out your best self-every day.

STAY CONNECTED AND ON TRACK

The all-new HUAWEI Watch 3 is powered by Harmony OS which operates on a unified language for the intelligence, interconnection, and collaboration of different devices, allowing users to seamlessly switch between devices and enjoy a convenient cross-device experience. The HUAWEI WATCH 3 creates a new smart interactive experience on the wrist, and turns the smartwatch into an interaction, smart and health centre giving consumers, an overall smartwatch experience like never before.

Tracking one’s health is very essential – especially if you want to hit your goals in terms of your fitness and performance.

From basketball, tennis, swimming and running to even skiing and golf! Aside from sports and workout modes, the HUAWEI WATCH 3 is also equipped with your basic health trackers coupled up with more - it has sleep monitoring and breathing score which enables and reminds you to have essential rest. SPO2 tracking, TruSeen Heart Rate monitoring, and stress monitoring are also readily available to ensure you’re at your best all throughout the day which can easily be monitored via the Huawei Health App. 

The HUAWEI WATCH 3 also has eSIM service technology, which is interconnected to smartphones, this means that users can use the same phone number on the HUAWEI WATCH 3 enabling you to use the same data plans and credits, via your watch.  Even if your mobile phone happens to run out of battery on the go, you can still utilise the HUAWEI WATCH 3 for real-time communications on the go, just from your wrist! For the Philippine market, eSim can be easily accessible by your respective network carrier. Users can conduct calls, receive and send messages and use apps such as MeeTime all from your wrist!  Additionally, these features and more are packed in a stylish aesthetic with a 3D rotating crown-head and battery power which can last up to 3days in 4G mode and up to 14days in ultra-long battery saving mode.

You can also seamlessly access select apps and listen to music without constantly checking your phone as well. 

 

 *Only the Active / Black strap variant is available in the Philippines

 

STAY UNDISTURBED AND UNINTERRUPTED

Audio quality is a basic requirement of earbuds, and an important factor when choosing earbuds. When using the earbuds to listen to music, the audio details produced are very important. HUAWEI FreeBuds 4 adopts innovative technology structure to bring consumers a better listening experience. This device has been praised by many users for features such as enhanced open-fit ANC 2.0 which results in the most comfortable noise cancellation experience, a lightweight design that brings comfortable wearing experience, and immersive audio quality that will help you remain undisturbed by any litany of sounds.

The Huawei Scale 3 Pro has eight dual-frequency electrodes and Huawei Trufit 2.0 AI, which ensure accurate algorithms for body composition measurements. It can measure body fat, liver fat, skeletal muscle, bioimpedance, and other health stats with high precision. Once synergized with devices like smartphones and tablets, the smart scale can help users monitor fitness progress and key health-related stats especially when used with the new HUAWEI Watch 3 when tracking your progress and fitness goals via the Huawei Health App.

The HUAWEI Watch 3, HUAWEI FreeBuds 4 and Scale 3 Pro are designed to be completely compatible with each other. This leads to a more seamless user experience that allows you to do more with convenience, especially when the audio, health and fitness features of these devices compliment each other so well.

Meralco Suspends Disconnection Activities in areas under ECQ and MECQ

The Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) said on Tuesday that it is again suspending disconnection activities in the Province of Laguna beginning August 1 to 15 and the National Capital Region (NCR) from August 6 to 20, 2021. The announcement came after the Government placed NCR on ECQ from August 6 to 20 and the Province of Laguna on MECQ from August 1 to 15. 

 

The rest of Meralco’s franchise area remains under GCQ with Heightened Restrictions particularly Bulacan, Cavite, the Province of Rizal and Lucena City from August 1 to 15, while Batangas and Quezon Province remain to be under GCQ for the month of August.

 

“Given the current situation, we continue to take into consideration the challenges our customers are facing amid these difficult times. Thus, we will again suspend all disconnection activities in NCR and Laguna to help ease the burden of our customers with the needed relief and additional time to settle their bills,” Ferdinand O. Geluz, Meralco FVP and Chief Commercial Officer, said.

 

He added, “We encourage customers, particularly those with concerns with their previous bills, to reach out, so we can discuss and help clarify their concerns and to even come up with payment terms, if really needed. We also have several platforms by which you can reach us. We hope customers will also take advantage of this period to avoid the inconvenience of having to queue long lines once the ECQ is again lifted.” 

 

For customers in areas under GCQ, Geluz assured that Meralco will continue to be very considerate during this period and vowed to assist customers with their concerns.

 

Meralco reiterated that it will continue vital operations such as meter reading, following the order of the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), and will also continue to work round the clock to serve its customers.

 

“Meralco business operations, including meter reading and bill delivery activities, will continue throughout the ECQ. Our continued operations will ensure that actual consumption for the month will be billed accordingly. But rest assured there will be strict implementation of health protocols in order to safeguard the health and safety of both customers and our personnel,” Geluz said.

 

The ERC, in an advisory last year, encouraged customers who can pay to settle their bills within the original due date “to help manage the cash flow in the energy supply chain and ensure the continuous supply of electricity."

 

In minimizing the risk of exposure to COVID-19 and ensuring everyone’s safety, Geluz reminded customers to always keep safe and advised customers to use Meralco’s various digital platforms such as Meralco Online and Meralco App, Facebook Messenger, Twitter, call its 16211 hotline and book an appointment through the Online Customer Appointment (OCA) system before going to Meralco Business Centers (BCs). Meralco BCs will be on skeleton workforce, for any inquiries and concerns on billing and payments as a precaution to the rising number of COVID-19 cases.

 

Meralco BCs will remain open to accept payments, applications and customer assistance. Business hours will be from 7am to 3pm, in compliance to IATF guidelines, from Monday to Friday and 7am to 12pm on Saturdays.

 

“Meralco crews will also continue to be on standby 24/7 to respond to any emergencies and reports,” Geluz added.

 

Meralco's customer touchpoints include the Meralco website at www.MERALCO.com.ph, and its social media accounts on twitter @MERALCO, on Facebook at www.facebook.com/MERALCO, and the Meralco Hotline at 16211. Customers can also send emails to customercare@meralco.com.ph.

vivo brings an ultra-sleek, stylish phone that fits people’s digital lifestyles through its V21 series

In this highly visual world, there is something enjoyable and entertaining scrolling through social media and seeing people’s quick life updates, at the same time sharing a piece of your life that can let your friends know what you’ve been up to — even if you haven’t talked for a while. So while people are still limited to screens and virtual spaces, sharing snaps of our daily events is a good way to bring ourselves closer to the ones we love. Visit https://www.vivoglobal.ph/phone/vivo-V21e/ for more info about the vivo V21e; and https://www.vivoglobal.ph/phone-orig/vivo-V21-5g/ for the V21 5G.

 

With this in mind, vivo — a leading global smartphone brand — brings an ultra-sleek, stylish phone that fits people’s digital lifestyles through its V21 series. Paving the way for top-quality content, the vivo V21 incorporates a 64 MP rear camera and a 44 MP front camera with an optical image stabilizer (OIS). These features allow one to shoot ‘Gram-worthy photos and videos every time, even in dimly-lit settings. Its advanced camera features let the smallest details of subjects come into view. This way, quality remains top-notch whether one shoots a video or a selfie.

 

It’s also a part of many people’s daily routine to constantly check multiple apps from time to time. Some do their usual rounds on social media apps to watch fun videos, do online shopping, play video games, or keep in touch with friends — which is why having a smartphone that can run fast is essential.

 

The vivo V21 is built with 8 GB RAM and an additional 3 GB virtual storage. This means that the phone has ample space to store multiple apps’ data while they run in the background. Ever scrolled through your phone and then suddenly it keeps crashing? A low RAM may be the reason why. But with vivo bringing in the virtual RAM technology into the V21, users can switch between apps smoothly without phone lags.

 

Apart from all these features, vivo makes the V21 series even more exciting being its thinnest phone so far. People can let out their creative and productive sides with this 7.29 mm thin phone, which is a perfect companion for their mirror selfies and everyday activities.

 

The vivo V21e is priced at PHP 16,999, and the V21 5G now at PHP 21,999 (from its original price of PHP 23,999). The vivo V21 5G, with the new price, is also available for installment for 6, 9, 12 and 18 months. For more info, check outhttps://www.vivoglobal.ph/phone/vivo-V21e/ for vivo V21e; and https://www.vivoglobal.ph/phone-orig/vivo-V21-5g/ for the V21 5G.

 

Life experiences can be convoluted at the moment but our genuine connections don’t have to be. Through online mediums, people express themselves, interact, and let their friends know that they’re still here. Let vivo bring you closer by creating content that is personal to you. 

 

The V21 series is available in all vivo kiosks and stores, as well as online at Lazada and Shopee. Know more about the products by following vivo’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages.

 

SunPlay Skin Aqua ticks off every item on your sunscreen checklist

You already know that you need to use sunscreen daily because sun damage causes skin aging. But really, you should use sunscreen so you can have fun in the sun. So, whether it’s for anti-aging or to prevent painful sunburn, use a sunscreen. Your skin will thank you for it! 

 

So, what should you look for in a sunscreen? You only have one face, and you need to protect it well, so your checklist is probably long. Broad spectrum protection and a sun protection factor of SPF 30 or higher are already given. And what else? You probably want a sunscreen that’s not greasy but lightly moisturizing. It should also be affordable because you apply sunscreen several times a day. It’s a bonus if the product is from a Japanese brand because sunscreens from Japan are lightweight, easy to apply and don’t leave a white cast. Also, Japanese skincare technology is amazing because it combines the use of ingredients that have been proven to be good for the skin with the latest techniques.  

SunPlay Skin Aqua sunscreens tick off all those boxes.
