"UNIQLO x Theory" 2022 Spring/Summer Collection

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the latest collection in the "UNIQLO x Theory" collaboration with New York-based fashion brand Theory. The 2022 Spring/Summer collaboration features modern tailoring in relaxed silhouettes with an emphasis on versatility and ease. This is stylish LifeWear for everyday comfort. The WOMENS line will be released on March 25, followed by the MENS line a month later at the end of April online and in selected stores across Philippines.

Popular Ultra Light series available in the WOMENS lineup for the first time

The Ultra Light series, featuring quick-drying, stretchy, and lightweight fabrics, which is a representative product of UNIQLO, was met with an enthusiastic reception in last year’s MEN’S Spring/Summer collection. This year, Ultra Light jackets and pants are available for the WOMEN’S line as well. Both MEN’S and WOMEN’S items embody Theory’s signature urban sophistication reimagined to accentuate comfort. The effortless styles evoke the essence of the season.

 

A minimalist wardrobe focused on comfort

The WOMENS line features a dress in an ultra-stretch fabric with an elegant drape that billows from below the chest, and a nylon parka in a relaxed silhouette to wear lightly over the shoulders. The MENS line includes tops that pair well with a jacket, such as polo shirts in raglan sleeve for ease of movement, and classy cotton T-shirts in a shallow V-neck style. This broad lineup of styles combines the functionality of UNIQLO with the minimalist design of Theory.

Now is the perfect time for travel-hungry individuals to finally go and make use of their CEB Super Pass

The summer season is almost here – that means many of us are planning long-overdue trips with friends and family to make up for the past months. With more domestic destinations easing restrictions and travel being more open for every Juan, now is the perfect time for travel-hungry individuals to finally go and make use of their CEB Super Pass, purchased last year.

 

Launched in May 2021 by the Philippines’ leading carrier, Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), as part of its 25th anniversary, the CEB Super Pass is a first-of-its-kind product that lets travelers buy all they can, and fly when they can, across the airline’s widest domestic network. This PHP99 voucher already covers the base fare so passengers only have to pay taxes and fees upon redemption.

 

For those who want a taste of the great outdoors, travelers can go trekking in Compostela Valley in Davao or Mapawa Nature Park in Cagayan De Oro. Travelers can also opt for a trip to the island of Palompon, 80km away from Tacloban, Panglao Island in Bohol, or Bulubadiangan Island in Iloilo to experience their white sandy beaches.

Many travelers are likewise looking for “workation” spots for a much-needed change in scenery. Cebu is definitely a great choice for delicious food and relaxing beach resorts to feel reinvigorated while working remotely, at the same time.

 

Foodies will surely enjoy a traditional Mindanaoan boodle in General Santos, which is dubbed as “The Tuna Capital of the Philippines.” This usually consists of grilled tuna, inihaw na pusit, kinilaw, shrimp, crabs, and other fresh seafood from the province.

 

Wherever travelers choose to fly, they may redeem their CEB Super Pass flights now. Those who purchased in May 2021 may redeem their flights until May 24, 2022, for travel until May 31, 2022. While those who bought their vouchers in September 2021 have until September 23, 2022 to redeem them for travel until September 30, 2022.

 

When booking flights with the CEB Super Pass, go to the “Redeem CEB Super Pass” tab on the Cebu Pacific website as early as 30 days before the intended departure or until seven (7) days prior, as long as seats are still available. Passengers can only use a maximum of 10 vouchers per transaction. 

 

The CEB Super Pass allows passengers to finally fly to their dream Philippine destinations, so now is the perfect time to re-explore the most beautiful spots in the country! And with Cebu Pacific, passengers are always assured of safe and convenient travels this summer and beyond.

5 Lessons for Strong Business Partnerships

Still going strong and riding on a wave of campus expansion across the country is one of the oldest universities in the Philippines: National University (NU). NU already has 9 branches to date. The venerable yet always dynamic and forward-looking institution has learned so much from the past two years—lessons that university president, Renato Carlos H. Ermita, Jr., wants to share with other entrepreneurs and executives.

“The pandemic caught everyone by surprise, of course. But the intense and widespread community quarantines were really the biggest challenges for businesses in general. In our case, the lockdown came right in the middle and towards the end of the academic year. Our graduating students were finishing their school requirements including exams, projects, laboratory sessions, and then we had to put an abrupt stop to our operations. We had to figure out how to resume academic activities with the least disruption for everyone, whether for students, faculty, and administrative staff,” said Dr. Ermita.

 

In learning to adapt to, cope with, and survive the pandemic’s challenges, the owners and management of NU learned five lessons that businesses, from SMEs to corporations, can learn from.

Lesson 1: Never forget who you are

 

This means knowing and committing to what your core business is and adhering to your corporate values, especially during times of crisis.

 

“Despite the restrictions—from the anxieties about our health, to the lack of transportation, and the suspension of face-to-face classes-we kept a strong focus on who we are as a university: our mission to provide programs that are innovative and relevant to our students, to be able to prepare and qualify them for job opportunities here and overseas,” said Dr. Ermita.

 

Dr. Ermita added that the strong academic team of the University kept them focused on the vision of reaching out and educating more Filipinos. “Together, that focus and that commitment keep our programs up-to-date and attuned with the needs of our students vis-a-vis the various industries they will be entering after graduation.”

 

Lesson 2: Digital and non-digital innovations

 

Dr. Ermita explained that new challenges in the 21st century require a fresh, creative perspective, out-of-the-box thinking, and a passion for innovation.

 

“For example, even before the pandemic struck, the University already had an online platform. In short, we already had the basic infrastructure for conducting online classes. So then, when health protocols put a stop to face-to-face classes, we already had the digital and online structure to build on,” Dr. Ermita said.

 

With a digital, online portal already in place, NU proceeded with adapting its academic content and learning processes to the new “school-from-home” normal. They spent a month preparing learning materials and training their faculty members in the new online teaching platform. By April of 2020, the university was able to resume classes.

 

Lesson 3: Picking the right partners

 

No business during the pandemic can make it all alone. In order to not only survive but also thrive during the pandemic, NU relied on its long-time dependable partners. Dr. Ermita made mention of their partner bank, BDO, which kept on providing crucial banking solutions before and during the pandemic.

 

“Like other organizations, the University had a disruption in its access to funds. With school operations scaled-down and students staying at home to follow safety protocols, it was a challenge to maintain the smooth flow and efficiency of our financial transactions. Whether this was for payments of tuition fees, or payments for diplomas for transcripts and all those things—and then, of course, we also had bills to pay to our utility providers and suppliers. We had financial commitments that had to be honored,” he said. BDO was able to provide the University with very effective services and solutions that addressed these concerns.

 

According to Dr. Ermita, NU and BDO became banking partners in 2008. “From the start of our relationship with BDO, our needs as a university have evolved and BDO was right there to help us adopt new solutions both non-digital and digital. These solutions also evolved from very simple products to more advanced facilities like cheque writing via BDO’s Business Online Banking. We also availed of BDO’s bills payment facilities which really helped our students and their parents transact with the school online.”

 

Lesson 4: Winning, can-do mindset

 

Along with resilience, Dr. Ermita says that NU always maintains a winning, can-do mindset. “I congratulate our students and faculty for staying true to their common goal of achieving quality education and a meaningful learning experience. NU is able to do this because we have a campus culture that fosters a winning, can-do mindset. Whether it’s in academics, or sports, or life in general, we never give up. We always do our best. And if we need to catch up—and there was a lot of catching up to do this pandemic—then we don’t just catch up. We make sure that we win and come out on top. It’s a mindset that our best partners also have in common with us.”

 

Lesson 5: Putting people first

 

Dr. Ermita also said that in running a business, it’s best not to lose sight of the fact that, in the end, what matters most are the people you work with, the people you partner with, and the people you serve.

 

“We are blessed to have very good academic leaders, faculty, support personnel who were tried and tested during this difficult crisis. The faculty, in particular, have shown how much they truly care for the welfare of our students. The same holds true for the people of BDO, who are continually aware of NU’s needs and objectives. The crucial point is really that BDO always keeps track of our development. So, they are aware of our objectives and because of that, they’re able to introduce products and services that continue to help us,” said Dr. Ermita.

 

BDO is a valuable partner to many SMEs, corporations, and organizations. For more information on how to achieve a productive partnership, go to the BDO website, the BDO Facebook Page, or visit your nearest BDO branch.
