Celebrate Women’s Month with these inspiring ladies, watch ‘em all only on HBO GO, powered by PLDT Home!

From Effie White with her amazing voice and personality that arrested everyone in the room in Dream Girls (2006) to Imperator Furiosa with her willingness to put her life on the line to free the Five Wives in Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), aren’t we all glad to have strong female role models across pop culture to inspire young ladies growing up? 

With more women at the helm of productions in recent years, more of these girl power-focused tropes have come to life — with their stories of individuality, resilience, strength, and womanhood front and center.

 

HBO GO celebrates Women’s Month by spotlighting some of these heroines and their inspiring journeys. From Gossip Girl’s misunderstood queen bee to Batwoman’s self-effacing medic, meet strong, relatable women and discover their stories only on HBO GO — powered by PLDT Home’s fastest connections.

Get to know and maybe learn a few life lessons along the way from these female icons. Warning: Spoilers ahead!

 

 

Gossip Girl’s Julien Calloway

She’s as moneyed as an Upper East Sider as she’s influential as an Instagram celeb. With her shaved head and supermodel bod, Julien (Jordan Alexander) rocks as the new Queen Bee of Constance in this Gossip Girl reboot.

 

Make no mistake, though: While usually nice, JC uses her Serena van der Woodsen-esque charm and Blair Waldorf-trademarked sense of authority to her advantage. In the recently concluded first season, she shows off a backbone of steel — defying her father’s wishes to connect with her half-sister Zoya and then confronting him about his sexual abuse allegations. In contrast to the OG GG queens though, Julien exhibits more accountability. In one episode, right at Zoya’s birthday party, she realizes she has gone too far in bullying her sister that she asks everyone in the crowd to record her unexpected “I’m a bully” admission.

And Just Like That…’s Seema Patel

As the overdue follow-up series to the iconic Sex and the City, And Just Like That… proves that women can hold their own — no matter the decade or phase in life.

 

The show may have its original leads in Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte, but no one translates this message more than 50-something realtor Seema (Sarita Choudhury). A new addition to the series, Seema is a breath of fresh air — playing a major role in showing the recently-widowed Carrie that there is still more to life after Mr. Big’s death. She even helps her find a new apartment! Unabashed and opinionated, Seema points out Carrie’s mistakes including this one insensitive — albeit unintentional — remark on her love life and age.

KIMI’s Angela Childs

Trauma affects people in different ways — Angela (Zoë Kravitz), a sexual assault victim too scarred to step out of her Seattle loft, knows.

 

Angela works from home as a data monitor for Amygdala, a tech firm whose products include a smart speaker that uses human monitoring to improve its search algorithm called Kimi (think Amazon’s Alexa). It’s the perfect job for her until she hears a terrifying voice recording that has her suspect someone is being assaulted.

 

Angela reports the incident to her superiors, but none believe her — an experience she knows too well after being disbelieved for her own assault. In this new scenario, she finally musters the courage to check out what’s beyond her front door and gather enough evidence to make a case. Even as she discovers that the higher-ups at work are involved, there is no stopping her.

 

Stream KIMI now on HBO GO.

 

The Girl Before’s Jane Cavendish

Jane (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), after suffering from a traumatic stillbirth, ran away to escape her pain by renting a gorgeous home in One Folgate Street owned by an eccentric architect, Edward (David Oyelowo).

 

Despite red flags (strict rules, cameras everywhere, no personal possessions inside), Jane decides this is the perfect place for her to heal. She even develops a romantic relationship with Edward but everything changes upon learning about Emma, the previous tenant who has more than a passing resemblance to her had mysteriously died. Feeling a connection and wanting to find answers, a suspicious, justice-seeking Jane is led down a dangerous rabbit hole.

After a bad snowstorm destroys her new home, she meets Miguel (Demián Bichir), a hunter who teaches her how to hunt and rebuild her home. Edee finds solace in her new friend, who also lost his family. Edee finally lets herself grieve for her own loss as she navigates her way back to the life she had left.

 

Stream Land on HBO GO from March 19.

 

Batwoman’s Mary Hamilton

In the dark city of Gotham City, the Batwomen— Ryan Wilder and Kate Kane — are fighting with its villains. On the other side of the coin is the cheerful Dr. Hamilton (Nicole Kang), who has hers anchored on nursing. She supports Kate upon learning of the latter’s identity as the female caped crusader.

May ilang tips si Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz para sa gustong negosyo

Bilang isang first-time small business owner, at ngayon ay business management scholar, may ilang tips si Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz para sa gustong negosyo.

 

Una, araling mabuti ang negosyong papasukin. Mag research muna tungkol sa pagnenegosyo. 

 

“Mas okay na alam natin ‘yong pinapasok nating business. Dapat pinag-aaralan muna.” kwento ni Hidilyn.

 

Pangalawa, humanap ng mentor sa pagnenegosyo. Sa propesyon ni Hidilyn na weightlifting, mayroon siyang coach na gumagabay. Ganon din sa pagnenegosyo. 

Pangatlo, alamin ang mga oportunidad para sa negosyo.  Ang additional capital ay hindi kailangan manggaling lamang sa savings o sa kamag-anak at kaibigan. Maaari ring kumuha ng pondo mula sa bangko. 

 

Ayon kay BDO Network Bank (BDONB)  senior vice president at MSME group head Karen Cua, "Ang BDONB ay bangko para sa micro-entrepreneurs. Sa tulong ng aming Kabuhayan Loan, napopondohan namin ang pangangailan ng negosyante sa kanilang business operation at expansion.”

 

Tulad ng ginawa ni Pio Conti ng Laguna, ginamit niya ang Kabuhayan Loan para bumili ng additional stocks ng paninda.

 

Para kina Yolanda Arranquez at asawang OFW, malaking tulong ang Kabuhayan Loan para madagdagan ang kita. 

Malaking tulong ang BDO Network Bank Kabuhayan Loan kina Pio Conti ng Laguna (L) at Yolanda Arranquez ng Davao (R) para mapalago ang kanilang negosyo at matupad ang kanilang mga pangarap.

 

 

Para sa iba pang impormasyon tungkol sa Kabuhayan Loan, bumisita sa pinakamalapit na BDO Network Bank branch, o mag-inquire sa BDO Network Bank PH official Facebook page o sa BDO Network Bank website.

Ninja Van Philippines champions female leadership and resilience this International Women’s Month

 

Every year, a special day is dedicated to honor women around the world, their empowering stories, and achievements while also highlighting important concerns and issues surrounding gender equality in society. In line with this, tech-enabled express logistics company, Ninja Van Philippines, celebrates International Women’s Month by acknowledging the many women in its workforce who, in one way  or another, are responsible for providing hassle-free deliveries and excellent customer service to shippers and shoppers nationwide.

Five women shared how they hustle hard everyday, on or off the road, to achieve success in their current roles in the company and demonstrate leadership and resilience despite the challenges that come their way whether it’s at work or in life.

 

Mothering for success in the industry: Working moms make it work!

Ivy Bautista describes herself as a natural born leader. She has been working as a Sort Training Officer for Ninja Van Philippines since November 2020 where she is tasked to develop training materials for the Sort Team as well as prepare guidelines and incident reports. As a working mom, she has to balance her schedule between work and family duties, which can get challenging sometimes since her job requires her to travel frequently to train Sort Officers in various locations.

Thanks to the support of her husband and colleagues, Ivy is able to stay on top of her responsibilities as a mom and employee, earning the trust of her superiors and teammates and impacting positive changes in her department including standardizing the orientation journey for new personnel.

Account Manager Karla Dasig is also a working mom who has been with Ninja Van Philippines since 2016. She currently handles clients in the finance and retail industries. Being a single mom, she is grateful that the company allows her to work on a flexible schedule, which gives her the chance to spend more time with her son.

 

Working at Ninja Van Philippines enabled Karla to step out of her comfort zone that resulted in tremendous improvement and growth in her professional career. Now, her goal is to enhance her leadership and managerial skills to help her entire team thrive. She also wishes to share her knowledge and expertise to new hires who will be under her supervision so they can better manage and address the problems that may arise on the job.

 

Female Ninjas on the road, driving out the stereotypes

Delivery riders play an important role in making sure that parcels get delivered to customers on time and in the best possible condition. And while we have grown accustomed to seeing male riders on the road, it’s great to also acknowledge the efforts of women who take on this difficult job, rain or shine.

 

Sheina, Michelle, and Mercie are just three of Ninja Van Philippines’ female delivery riders who embody the company’s promise of Todo Hustle, No Hassle deliveries and services.

Four years into being a delivery rider, Sheina Janalul prides herself for consistently receiving good standing for her performance. While she admitted that there can be a handful of difficult customers who tend to lash out on delivery riders like her, she tries her best not to take things personally and as much as possible, not to absorb the negativity from the situation. Of course, not all customers are the same as she has also encountered those who are kind and understanding, even becoming friends with some of them.

 

Michelle Ynigo is another female delivery rider who has been with Ninja Van Philippines since 2018. Given her years of experience on the job, she has encountered her fair share of bumps in the road such as rude customers and lost or damaged parcels that she deals with by keeping a calm disposition when communicating with those involved. All in all, Michelle finds fulfillment in knowing that what she does as a delivery rider contributes value to the lives of Ninja Van’s customers.

 

From a Ninja Van rider in 2018, Mercie Abundo has been promoted to Assistant Station Head of her hub in Mindoro and is now training to be the Station Head soon. According to her, dealing with problematic consignees and riders has been one of the most challenging aspects of her job. However, she has always shown willingness to help with the resolution of any delivery-related issues and ensures effective communication with customers. Because of this, her outstanding performance has been recognized by Ninja Van Philippines, specifically for managing a hub with no parcel backlog – a feat she considers to be one of her proudest career achievements to date.

Time and time again, women are proven to thrive and succeed in industries that are traditionally seen as male-dominated, including logistics. For Ninja Van Philippines, the hard work that its female employees are dedicating to the commitment of putting customers’ needs and operational excellence first will always be recognized and celebrated every day as part of its efforts to push for more inclusivity and diversity in the workplace.

Feel The Outpour Of Emotions From Issa Rodriguez’s “Silong” Featuring Kyle Juliano

 

Longing for someone you love dearly after you part ways is such a hard feeling. Your heart is still hoping that he/she will be back though your brain clearly knows that it’s not going to happen anymore.

That’s the central theme of Issa Rodriguez’s latest single “Silong” featuring Kyle Juliano released under Universal Records. This song is her follow-up to her five-track Ready EP released February of last year. 

The lyric-driven musician amazingly painted the struggles of someone who’s holding on to someone who hurt him/her and expecting for things to go back the way it used to be. The singer-songwriter delivers a compellingly melodramatic rhythm in heart-wrenching lines “Kahit na alam ko na hindi na magbabago ang isip mong sumuko na / Bakit puso ko’y lumalaban pa?” the song’s chorus. 

For her listeners to get to know more about the song’s meaning, Issa explains that “Silong” is basically about those who are alone in fighting the battles and pains of moving on.  “Sa lahat ng lumalaban mag-isa, pakinggan n’yo ‘to tapos let go na ha? 1/2 joke,” she happily quips.

Truly, listening to this brand-new track will give you an outpour of emotions any time of day.

“Silong” by Issa Rodriguez featuring Kyle Juliano can be streamed on your favorite digital platforms under Universal Records. It’s also part of Spotify’s latest New Music Friday Philippines playlist.

AutoDeal prides itself in modernizing the customer experience for local car buyers in the Philippines

The automotive industry is going through a state of massive change from connectivity, electrification and digitization of the customer experience. Customers expect seamless digital experiences not only from ecommerce, but also when buying a car, where they expect a personalized and multi-channel journey.

 

AutoDeal prides itself on being a key component in modernizing the customer experience for local car buyers in the Philippines. Since 2014, AutoDeal has provided buyers the ability to compare vehicles; find special offers; and, complete multiple stages of the car-purchase transaction online. Every month, the online automotive marketplace enables consumers to get the best price on brand new vehicles by comparing offers from multiple dealers by simply going to the AutoDeal website. This enables buyers to transact quickly with trained and vetted sales agents from a network of official partner dealers. AutoDeal’s CEO and Co-Founder Daniel Scott shares: “As automotive retail propels towards digital, AutoDeal is receiving more customers every day, which translates to more sales for our partners every year. AutoDeal was able to deliver over P28B worth of sales to their partners in 2021 from 24,835 purchasers”. 

AutoDeal also helps report consumer trends, insights, and feedback directly to key players in the automotive industry as a means of helping lift the standard of digital commerce. As AutoDeal’s Co-founder Christopher Franks explains: The platform offers improved accessibility to vast amounts of data which translates back to more money left in the pockets of consumers. “These detailed insights on how automotive customers shop makes AutoDeal a core component in helping the auto industry evolve at a time when automotive brands are having to reshape business models and organizational structures to stay competitive in the market”.

 

Every year, the data collected via the AutoDeal platform is communicated through AutoDeal's Industry Insights Report.

 

Launched in 2016, the report tackled the state of the automotive industry and presented data and analysis by experts to back-up AutoDeal’s view as to why innovation was required in the customer journey. In the years leading up to the report, AutoDeal had taken note of high levels of customer dissatisfaction that occurred through easily fixable frustrations such as dealers not responding to online inquiries or access to critical purchase information not being readily available until customers entered a showroom. In the years that followed, AutoDeal implemented technology that simultaneously improved dealership response times, transparency, and sales conversion. In 2016, the report served as a way for brands to compare their online commerce metrics compared to other industry leaders. Today, AutoDeal’s Insights Report is regarded by automotive executives as one of the most helpful, useful, reliable, and easily available sources of automotive market information as it also delves into industry-disrupting factors and situations.

 

As the country begins to pull through the effects of the pandemic, AutoDeal is happy to announce that it has recently released AutoDeal Insights (Vol. XIII) 2021 Complete Insights. In this 13^th issue, AutoDeal examines performance metrics connected to the recovery of the Philippine automotive industry. The report also provides must-have information for brands retailing vehicles in the digital space and includes a full rundown of consumer data collected via the AutoDeal and MotoDeal platforms in 2021. Some of the most remarkable findings in the report focused on leads by market segment; leads by location; leads by device; inquiring and buying trends; and most inquired for brands. To know how the local car and motorcycle market performed in 2021 and learn about improving metrics that are helping shed light on the industry’s road to recovery, simply visit https://bit.ly/2021ADInsights or https://www.autodeal.com.ph/industry-insights and download AutoDeal Insights (Vol. XIII) 2021 Complete Insights.

 

Today, AutoDeal is stronger than ever. Currently, it is partnered with 16 automotive brands, encompassing more than 400 new car dealerships and more than 2000 sales agent partners. In addition, the website averages 2.7M visits/month, generates around 25,000 leads/month, and contributes to over 2000 industry sales/month. These figures show why AutoDeal is currently the largest automotive network as well as the no.1 online automotive marketplace in the Philippines.
