Pfizer Philippines Foundation, Inc.partners with Impact Hub Manila to host the Health vertical of the Impact Hackathon 2021

With the global COVID-19 pandemic currently causing massive amounts of stress on the world’s public health system, Pfizer Philippines Foundation, Inc. (PPFI), the corporate social responsibility arm of Pfizer Philippines, helped the country’s creative minds find a solution by partnering with Impact Hub Manila to host the Health vertical of the Impact Hackathon 2021, held virtually last August 26 to 28.

One of the hackathon’s main challenges was finding a way to provide crucial health information to communities who have limited to no access to the internet, especially during the pandemic. 

Team Tesla won first place with CamMD, a desktop app that works as a first aid partner at home by identifying injuries or visible symptoms and uses object detection from different open-source libraries to determine the proper treatment. Team Hakushin Impact won first runner-up with Vacchain, an idea to use blockchain technology to digitize the country’s vaccination records and decentralize it in a comprehensive infrastructure, while Team Zenin Tech came in at second runner-up with Medic Marie, a personalized virtual health assistant that offers SMS-based healthcare services for rural communities.

The hackathon, currently in its third year, serves as a launching pad for bright and promising tech entrepreneurs and their impact-driven public health solutions, with a total of P75,000 in cash prizes up for grabs and incubation support from Impact Hub Manila. 

“We wanted to focus on the industry that we wanted to disrupt and innovate. We really felt that we needed to deep-dive into the health industry to understand and assess and forge a community to come together to build solutions, collaborate, and sustain,” said Ces Rondario, founder and CEO of Impact Hub Manila.

“At PPFI, we really love to embrace the idea of innovation. With innovation comes these great ideas that we may not normally think of, especially when it comes to health—some of the interventions for health have been in effect for decades. We realized that these participants could solve our problems if we give them a lot of time to hack it,” said Geof Garcia, executive director of PPFI.

Impact Hub Manila is the Philippine branch of Impact Hub, the largest network of entrepreneurs in the world, headquartered in Vienna, Austria. It has set itself up as an incubation hub focused on purpose-driven entrepreneurs whose venture ideas have the potential to impact the lives of Filipinos on a large scale.

Pfizer Philippines Foundation, Inc. is a non-stock, non-profit corporation organized to perform charitable and social welfare activities and programs geared towards improving health capacities, education, and awareness. Founded in 1997, PPFI seeks to serve Filipino communities to improve health outcomes for a stronger nation of healthier citizens.

Through collaborations with non-government organizations (NGOs) and civic welfare groups, the government and its relevant agencies, as well as through the engagement of Pfizer colleagues as volunteers, PPFI aims to innovate, implement, and sustain equity-based programs that will significantly improve Filipinos’ healthcare access.

 

Shopee Xpress Rider and Student-Athlete Builds a Brighter Future Through Diskarte and Discipline

Twenty-two-year-old Josel Sisor carries a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. He works hard as a Shopee Xpress rider, while also striving to achieve his dreams as a student-athlete. 

 

Josel, who is currently a fourth-year scholar, sports science major, and table tennis athlete at San Beda University, began working as a rider right after the pandemic set in a year and a half ago. After hearing about a friend who took up a side gig as a rider, he took the opportunity to earn some extra cash as well. 

 

Though his father, a factory worker, and mother, a messenger, both work hard to provide for the family, Josel wants to lighten their financial burden by becoming more financially independent, especially during uncertain times such as these. Even before the pandemic, he busied himself with other part-time motorcycle delivery gigs to help his parents out. As the eldest in a brood of five, Josel sets an example for his siblings. 

Josel wakes up before 6:00 AM each day to pick up a batch of parcels at the nearby Shopee Xpress hub and deliver them to shoppers. At noon, he goes back home for online classes and training. Whenever he has time to spare, he delivers more batches of parcels. Josel initially found it hard to focus with such a packed routine, but eventually found his groove. “Na-aapply ko ‘yung pagiging student-athlete sa pamamagitan ng disiplina at pagbalanse ng oras,” he shares. 

 

He is determined to create a brighter future by graduating and becoming a table tennis coach someday. He also finds motivation from his sukis, fellow riders, and his family. He particularly dedicates his earnings and hard work to his beloved, ailing 78-year-old grandmother, who underwent back surgery last year. “Gusto kong magpasalamat sa lola ko sa lahat ng sakripisyo niya, sa pag-aalaga niya sakin simula nu’ng bata pa ako. Kahit walang-wala siya, lahat binibigay niya pa rin. Ang hiling ko lang, sana gumaling na siya,” he says. 

 

Aside from his grandmother’s improved health, Josel’s only wish is for a new motorcycle. His run-down motorcycle would often break down mid-delivery, and he’d end up finishing work well into the night. After hearing of Josel’s heartening story of dedication, Shopee donated not just a brand-new motor vehicle to Josel, but accessories and groceries as well. 

 

Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, says, “We are deeply humbled by Josel’s devotion to his work as a Shopee Xpress rider, but most especially to his family and dreams. To the rest of our Shopee Xpress riders, you inspire us all as well. You are indeed the true lifeblood of Shopee.”

 

Whether as the awesome, reliable kuya at home, the driven student-athlete at school, or the diligent Shopee Xpress rider at work, Josel inspires everyone he meets. He feels grateful for the opportunity to start securing his future and the lessons he has gained along the way from his team leads and fellow riders.

 

As a Shopee Xpress rider, he finds fulfillment in learning how to stand on his own two feet. He adds, “Gusto kong sabihin sa tropang SPX na kahit araw-araw mahirap ang ginagawa, kalaban natin ang init at ulan, tuluy-tuloy lang. ‘Wag tayong susuko, balang araw tayo rin nasa taas.”

Mountain Dew brings to the public Battle of Bangis!

Two teams—one led by Cong and the other by Ivana Alawi—will slug it out in the Mountain Dew Battle of Bangis, a series of challenges that will test their physical, mental and emotional strength, plus teamwork. This is the challenge to watch out for. 

In the true sense of supporting adventure and activities best experienced among friends, Mountain Dew brings to the public Battle of Bangis which will see Cong, Ivana, and their respective teammates taking part in different bootcamp challenges—Pisikalan, Walang Iyakan, Mind Over Matter, and Tropahan--over three weeks from October 10 to 27 leading up to the finale dubbed Mountain Dew Battle of Bangis D’ Ultimate Showdown on November 7.

Mountain Dew Battle of Bangis started after Cong and Junnie Boy posted a video on Facebook thanking everyone for supporting their Mountain Dew TVC with James Reid. Junnie Boy said he’d love to collab with Ivana after Cong asked him who he’d like to work with next. In a video, Ivana said “bangis tayo eh”, accepted the challenge, and called on Mountain Dew to help make it happen. Immediately after, Ivana and Cong were announcing the Mountain Dew Battle of Bangis challenge!

Team Cong is composed of singer, YouTuber and influencer Mika Salamanca, vlogger Junnie Boy and actress and model Sachzna. Team Ivana, on the other hand, is made up of streamer and content creator Khenji Saito, TikTok superstar Yukii Takahashi and influencer and “Asian cutie” Albert Nicolas. 

Dewds at home have the chance to win Mountain Dew Battle of Bangis and be part of their favorite tropa. All they have to do is upload a video doing their take of the bootcamp challenge of the week and use #DewBattleOfBangis to make it count as their official “audition” video. Dewds can send in as many videos as they want, regardless of which team they want to join! Each tropa is looking for six Dewds to be part of their team so you’ll have many chances of making it.

The three weeks of challenges will culminate in the Mountain Dew Battle of Bangis D’ Ultimate Showdown on November 7. The showdown, to be hosted by Sam YG featuring special guest James Reid, will be streamed live on Mountain Dew’s Facebook page.  Chosen participants from the past online bootcamp challenges will be part of Tropang Cong and Tropang Ivana. The ultimate battleground—Call of Duty Mobile—will be the final test of the participants’ strength and cunning. During this showdown, they will be coached by playing Team Captains Cong and Ivana.

Mountain Dew will be partnering with Streets to School (Ivana’s chosen charity) and Child Hope (Cong’s choice) to power up young Dewds with new tablets for their schooling needs. One hundred tablets will be given to the winning team’s chosen charity while 50 tablets will be given to the losing team’s charity.

Samsung launches the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G

Samsung redefined the smartphone experience with the introduction of its foldable devices. By merit of the devices’ innovative form factor, the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G have expanded the ways a smartphone can be used.

 

While the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G has been designed as a powerhouse device to stand the test of time, Galaxy Z Flip3 5G offers users style that doesn’t compromise on function, with self-expression built into the very design of the device. 

 

Whether a user is opening, closing, or just simply holding their phone, every motion is smooth and effortless with Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, as the device maintains a fine balance throughout its body when unfolded as well as folded. Going beyond seamlessly bringing two screens together with its refined form and components, Galaxy Z Fold3 5G also appears slimmer and provides a better grip than its predecessors.

 

Users can take advantage of more uninterrupted viewing experiences when using the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G unfolded. Thanks to new Under display camera technology, the screen’s seamless 120Hz refresh rate, and rich stereo that provide deeper immersion when watching videos, playing games, or enjoying other content.

 

The Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is also the perfect work companion for day-to-day life. It’s ideal for video conferencing as it has an enhanced Flex mode, which makes taking notes or browsing materials during a meeting easy no matter where the user may be. The device’s specially engineered S Pen^[1] lets users drag and drop faster and with more accuracy, and even take handwritten notes for a truly seamless working experience.

 

On the other hand, one of the stand-out features of the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is its iconic, compact design that allows the smartphone to fit comfortably in one hand. In order to make the user’s experience more convenient, Samsung worked hard to refine any unnecessary elements. For example, the device’s camera and Cover Screen are arranged in one single area to avoid any camera protrusion for a sleeker look.

 

Along with this change, the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G’s Cover Screen is four times larger than its predecessor and comes with a range of additional functionalities.^[2] Users can check their alarms, control playlists, record a voice memo, set timers, and even snap a photo– all when the device is folded.

 

Samsung designed the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G to fulfill every need of the modern user for both work and entertainment so that there is no need to compromise. The Galaxy Z Fold3 5G retails at Php 87,990 SRP for 256GB (Phantom Black, Phantom Silver, and online-exclusive Phantom Green) and Php 95,990 for the 512GB variant (Phantom Black, Phantom Green, and online-exclusive Phantom Silver). The Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, on the other hand, is available at Php 52,990 SRP for the 128GB variant and Php 56,990 SRP for the 256GB variant, all available in Cream, Green, Lavender, and Phantom Black colorways. 

 

Unfold a world of offers and discounts

Each purchase of the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G comes with deals worth up to Php 14,400. Customers can get a FREE Flip Cover with S Pen worth Php 3,999^[3], 1 year FREE Samsung Care+ valued at Php 9,499^[4], and a 25W Travel Adapter priced at Php 949.^[5]

 

Meanwhile, customers who purchase the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G are entitled to gifts worth up to Php 10,400, which includes 1 year FREE Samsung Care+ and a 25W Travel Adapter.

Safe Samsung Shopping

Health and safety protocols are strictly followed in Samsung Experience Stores to keep consumers and employees safe. Adhering to the guidelines set by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases, Samsung has limited the number of its customers to 50% capacity, implemented the mandatory use of face masks and face shields, and performs frequent sanitation in all stores. 

 

Samsung Experience Stores also has unique QR health declaration codes to promote a safe and contactless contact tracing process.

Get updated on the exciting launch of vivo Y33s and learn more of how the new phone can help you take clearer photo shots

The young and trend-conscious Filipino fans of global smartphone maker vivo have been getting excited for the Philippine release of yet another Y-series phone – the vivo Y33s, which excels at taking great photos and videos! Head on to https://www.vivoglobal.ph/ to know more about this latest smartphone.

There is just no easier way to share cool personal updates on social media, than with a vibrant picture or video. The vivo Y33s captures your best moments clearer. Described in pilot reviews as a solid mid-end phone with uber strong photographic prowess, this vivo phone promises to have what it takes to be your all-day fun camera, to capture with a clearer shot your daily stories, in all its flattering details. 

Just like its equally nifty predecessor the Y31, the vivo Y33s lives up to vivo Y-series’ chic reputation as being feature-packed yet affordable despite its serious hardware power for fun photography.

Among the phone’s biggest wow-factor is its Super Night Selfie, which allows for taking great selfies even in poor lighting conditions. Its awesome 50MP rear camera is the main star in its triple-camera setup at the back. Equipped with lightning-fast f/1.8 aperture or opening, you never had to struggle just to take clearer shots, especially when capturing spur-of-the-moment fun times. Definitely perfect for nighttime outdoor romps, in the garden, by the moonshine, the vivo Y33s’ powerful camera is also equipped with an EIS (electronic image stabilization) technology that provides stability to both photo and video footages.   

Allowing ample space to run 25 apps in one go, the smartphone is powered with an 8GB + 4GB of Extended RAM that helps deliver a lag-free performance. Paired with an octa-core MediaTek Helio G80 processor, this phone is also excellent for all-day gaming. It even has built-in modes which allows users to have more control over incoming calls, such as answering the simultaneously (and hands-free) while playing, plus pre-selectively accepting or rejecting specific calls, automatically.

The phone’s huge 5000mAh battery is equipped with an 18W Fast Charge, which comes in handy for longer than usual video shoots and selfie sessions, and even for power-hungry game sessions. Now, you longer need to be tethered to the wall due to battery frailties just when your online phone sessions begin to get more exciting.

For the young and restless TikTokers, vivo Y33s’ gyro-EIS capability should be a huge come-on, as it allows them to broadcast their hilarious antics and cool dance moves with sustained clarity. Combined with its built-in excellence at night selfies, nothing can stop their budding social media stardom now from shining even after dark. 

Even leisurely mobile gamers get a thrill and performance upgrade with this phone, which is definitely a huge plus-factor. Who knows, this might even be the edge you need to beat your mobile game buddies at any day. 

Get updated on the exciting launch of vivo Y33s and learn more of how the new phone can help you take clearer photo shots, and focus on the moment by visiting https://www.vivoglobal.ph/ and vivo’s official Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages. 

Y.O.U Beauty proudly introduces its newest NoutriWear+ Series!

When it comes to finding the right foundation, you want something that matches your skin tone, covers any imperfections, lasts all day, and looks and feels natural all at the same time. Finding that perfect foundation isn't exactly an easy task. A heavy foundation feels cakey on the skin and camouflages your complexion, but a light foundation can give you exquisite coverage without looking overdone. 

To help create this look like an enhanced version of your skin and showcase your natural beauty, Y.O.U Beauty proudly introduces its newest NoutriWear+ Series, makeup products made with Litestay technology to provide you with a lightweight but full-coverage long-lasting base makeup and Immortelle C-Lock Essence to deeply nourish your skin. This series is formulated with key ingredients such as Centella Asiatica Extract, commonly used in serums, and SPF 25 & PA +++, with UV protection to protect skin from the harmful effects of UVA & UVB rays. 

Your Makeup with Skincare Benefits In One Product

Two products from the NoutriWear+ Series that Y.O.U Beauty are launching this month: the NoutriWear+ Velvet Liquid Foundation and the NoutriWear+ Complete Cover Concealer. 

 

The NoutriWear+ Velvet Liquid Foundation is the perfect soft, light-diffusing primer that blends seamlessly into the skin that results in a velvety matte finish without feeling heavy. It’s made with Innovative Litestay™ technology, which combines Filmexel(R) and Soft Light-diffusing Powder that creates the appearance and texture of a breathable, lightweight film that feels like your own skin but with full coverage of up to 24 hours. This technology helps control excess sebum without leaving skin feeling dry.

Not only does the Velvet Liquid Foundation preserve skin's elasticity thanks to its Immortelle C-Lock Essence which benefits from the Immortelle flower extract but it also provides antioxidant properties and can help reduces fine lines by regenerating new cells and activates collagen production, nourishing the skin.

 

Y.O.U Beauty’s NoutriWear+ Velvet Liquid Foundation also contains Centella Asiatica Extract that is well-known for soothing the skin and its anti-inflammation properties. This ingredient is also rich in amino acids and is known to effectively calm skin and reduce redness on the skin.

 

2-Easy Steps to Apply the NoutriWear+ Series for an Enhanced Natural Look 

Knowing that everyone has a different skin tone, the NoutriWear+ Series offers options for those with warm to neutral undertones. The mistake of choosing the wrong shade for foundation is common among new and even long-time makeup fans, but the easiest way to tell is to look at the veins on your wrist. If they are blue, you have a cool undertone. Green veins mean you have a warm undertone, and if you see both blue and green, you are neutral.

 

Knowing your undertone will help you choose from the five available shades of The NoutriWear+ Velvet Liquid Foundation: Warm Ivory, Pink Nude, Yellow Beige, Medium Beige, and Sand Beige. 

 

Here’s how you can enhance your natural beauty with a natural no-makeup makeup look:

 

STEP 1: Lightly apply the NoutriWear+ Velvet Liquid Foundation to your skin with a brush in circular motions for a flawless finish, or with a beauty blender or sponge to apply more layers for more coverage and a natural look.

 

You can also apply the liquid foundation using your beauty fingers to achieve a very natural, skin-like finish - you can give yourself a facial massage at the same time!

Huawei's 12th annual Global Mobile Broadband Forum (MBBF) kicked off in Dubai today

Huawei's 12th annual Global Mobile Broadband Forum (MBBF) kicked off in Dubai today with a keynote from the company's Rotating Chairman, Ken Hu.

He spoke on the current state of 5G development and new opportunities moving forward. "In just five years of commercial deployment, 5G has provided a considerable upgrade in mobile experience for consumers, and it's already starting to empower different industries around the globe. Progress was much faster than we expected, especially in terms of the subscriber base, network coverage, and the sheer number of 5G terminals on the market." 

Hu outlined three areas of opportunity that will drive the next stage of 5G's growth, including XR services, the B2B market, and low-carbon development.

The current state of global 5G development

There are currently 176 commercial 5G networks around the globe, serving more than 500 million subscribers. In the consumer space, average 5G download speeds are roughly 10 times greater than 4G, which has fueled broader adoption of applications like VR and 360º broadcasting. In the enterprise space, there are already 10,000 projects exploring B2B applications of 5G (5GtoB) around the world. 5G applications in industries like manufacturing, mining, and ports have already passed trial and are being replicated at scale.

While progress has been steady, Hu noted that there are still some areas for improvement. "Right now more than half of these 10,000 5GtoB projects are in China. We have a huge number of use cases already, but we need to build more sustainable business cases."

He went on to speak of broader changes that will have a long-term impact on the ICT industry, including accelerated digital transformation caused by the pandemic, how cloud and AI have become must-haves for all organizations, and how the world is taking climate change more seriously. "These trends provide many opportunities for our industry," he said. "But they also create some challenges. There are a few things we can do to get ready."

First, the industry needs to get networks, devices, and content ready for explosive growth in Extended Reality (XR). To support a smooth cloud-based XR experience, networks need to provide download speeds faster than 4.6 Gbit/s with latency no greater than 10 milliseconds. "Last year," noted Hu, "we released our goals for 5.5G. And we believe they will help address this challenge."

On the device side, lowering barriers to headset adoption is critical to reaching a tipping point in virtual reality, one of the key technologies in the Extended Reality repertoire of AR, VR, and MR. "To reach [this tipping point], we have to make improvements to both headsets and content. For headsets, people want devices that are smaller, lighter, and more affordable." To enrich the content ecosystem, Hu called on the industry to provide cloud platforms and tools that simplify content development, which is notoriously difficult and expensive.

Second, telecom operators need to enhance their networks and develop new capabilities to get ready for 5GtoB. A strong network is key to 5G applications for industrial use, so operators need to keep making improvements to network capabilities such as uplink, positioning, and sensing. As industrial scenarios are much more complex than consumer scenarios, O&M can be a real challenge. To help, Huawei is developing autonomous networks that bring intelligence to all aspects of 5G networks, from planning and construction to maintenance and optimization.

Digital transformation also requires different roles. In addition to providing connectivity, operators can also serve as cloud service providers, systems integrators, and more, and develop the requisite capabilities. To drive broader adoption of 5G in industries, developing industry-specific telecoms standards is also important. In China, operators, together with their industry partners, have begun working on standards for applying 5G in industries like coal mining, steel, and electric power, and this has helped to fuel greater adoption within these sectors.

"Beyond technology," concluded Hu, "these are some of the intangible strengths that won't provide immediate profit, but will be key to long-term competitiveness in the 5GtoB market."

Third, the industry needs to get ready to go green. According to the World Economic Forum, by 2030, digital technology can help reduce global carbon emissions by at least 15%. "On one hand," said Hu, "we have a great opportunity to help all industries cut emissions and improve power efficiency with digital technology. On the other hand, we have to recognize that our industry has a growing carbon footprint, and we have to take steps to improve that. Right now Huawei is using new materials and algorithms to lower the power consumption of our products, and we're remodeling sites, and optimizing power management in our data centers for greater efficiency."

"We have seen so many changes in the past two years – with the pandemic, technology, business and the economy," Hu concluded. "Moving forward, as the world begins to recover, we need to recognize the opportunities in front of us and get ready for them. Get our technology ready, get our businesses ready, and get our capabilities ready."

The Global Mobile Broadband Forum 2021 is hosted by Huawei, together with its industry partners GSMA and the SAMENA Telecommunications Council. The forum gathers mobile network operators, vertical industry leaders, and ecosystem partners from around the world to discuss how to maximize the potential of 5G and push the mobile industry forward.
