Cebu Pacific together with its NGO partner, Ministries launched Brigada Eskwela

Cebu Pacific, the Philippines’ leading carrier, together with its NGO partner, Ministries, without Borders Philippines, launched Brigada Eskwela at the Epifanio de los Santos Elementary School (EDSES) in Pasay, recently. 

 

This year’s Brigada Eskwela, which has the theme “Tugon sa Hamon ng Ligtas na Balik-Aral”,encourages education stakeholders to contribute their time, effort and resources in ensuring that the school facilities are ready for school opening.

 

Some 21 volunteers for Cebu Pacific went to the school to drop donations from partners and repainted the school’s guidance office.  The students received basic school supplies, hygiene kits and snack loot bags. The teachers on the other hand were given L’Oreal products, Cebu Pacific merchandise and waste bins.  Collectively, the additional items came from Universal Robina Corporation, Coca – Cola Philippines, Philippine Business and Social Progress, Sentinel and Councilor Mark Calixto of Pasay LGU District 1. 

For this year’s Brigada Eskwela, Cebu Pacific volunteers together with its NGO partner, Ministries Without Borders Philippines, DepEd officials, and school officials of Epifanio de los Santos Elementary School, work together to ensure that their students will go back to a newly-refurbished school and provide them a more conducive learning environment, while at the same time, equip them with the necessary school supplies, hygiene kits, and snack loot bags.

“Our school caters to students in Pasay, and since no national government money was put into Brigada Eskwela, we tapped private businesses, NGO’s, private individuals and local government to solicit donations to cover the repair and maintenance of the school,” said Dr. Tirso V. Gali, Principal IV of EDSES.

 

“We were very lucky that Cebu Pacific selected our school as their recipient for this years’ Brigada Eskwela. Despite the challenges brought by COVID-19 Pandemic, quality education must continue and true enough this airline company extended their utmost effort so these less fortunate learners could have better education.”

Gemma Porcia, deputy operations officer, at Ministries without Borders Philippines, expressed gratitude to Cebu Pacific for helping them in their mission to transport school bags to the different provinces in Luzon, Visayas and Mindano.

 

Aside from the on-ground activity, Cebu Pacific also supported Ministries Without Borders Philippines by airlifting for free 4,500 school supplies for students residing in Cotabato, Leyte, Ozamis and Palawan.

 

“We hope that through all these efforts, we were able to help these kids who will be returning to school after the pandemic lockdown shut classes. The students are very excited to go back to school and will resume face to face engagement,” said Carmina Romero, Director for Corporate Communications of Cebu Pacific.

 

Founded in March 1996, CEB is the largest carrier in the Philippine air transportation industry, offering low-cost services to more destinations and routes with higher flight frequency within the Philippines than any other airline. Stewardship for its people, the environment and creating Juan Community are the airline’s major pillars in its sustainability journey. CEB currently offers flights to 34 Philippine and 18 international destinations, spanning Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. 

 

mWell made history by gathering hundreds of doctors, medical specialists, and mental health experts on National mWellness Day

 

Last August 27-28, Metro Pacific Investments Corporation’s (PSE: MPI) mWell, the Philippines’ fastest-growing health app, made history by gathering hundreds of doctors, medical specialists, and mental health experts to give free online consultation and sound medical advice to patients and health-conscious Filipinos from all over the country. 

National mWellness Day, mounted for the 2^nd time since its inception in 2021, has achieved a milestone in its mission to bring quality healthcare to more Filipinos nationwide in the new normal by providing free online consultation to hundreds of patients from all over the country through the mWell PH app.

The two-day advocacy event was helmed by hundreds of family doctors and specialists from Metro Manila, Cagayan De Oro, Davao, and Zamboanga who donated their time to provide consultation via the mWell app, while mental health advocates from MindNation and Makati Medical Center Wellness Center gave on-call services for free mental health counselling. 

Dr. Reymark Calma congratulated mWell for the event which allowed him to feel the true spirit of volunteerism while fellow volunteer, Dr. Mark Calban said, “It was such an inspiring experience serving the medical needs of patients not only from Metro Manila but from different provinces.” Expressing her appreciation for the support she received, Dr. Mae Doctolero, said, “The responsive tech team and operations support made everything so easy.”

A record number of patients, including celebrities, Metro Manila-based journalists and regional influencers were able to consult for free. After the consultation, they also received free e-prescription, medical certificates, lab referrals and vouchers.

Patients expressed gratitude for the free consultation. They found the doctors to be very kind and approachable. “The consultation flow is good and clear,” said one of the patients while another writes, “This is the best teleconsultation I have experienced.” An mWell user who had a consultation with the dermatologist gave this feedback: “My doctor is amazing. She was on time and provided me with all the support.” A mom whose daughter had fever was so thankful that they were able to consult a pediatrician for free. She said:“Laking tulong para sa mga nanay na tulad ko. Ang daling gamitin at ang bait ng duktor. Buti na lang may mWell app!”

mWell partners, including the country’s top insurance companies – PhilCare and Generali gave their full support for the advocacy along with Makati Medical Center Foundation, MPIC Foundation, Unilab, MedExpress, 24 Alkaline-C and PiCur antioxidant.

At the same time, mWell provided free consultation to residents of Barangay Lumutan, a remote community in General Nakar, Quezon through mWell OnTheGo, a portable digital clinic. The mWell OnTheGo bag was filled with a tablet and a phone preloaded with the mWell PH app containing a health pass code for free online consultation.  Foldable solar panels, battery, and Smart pocket wifi were also donated to enable the residents to consult anytime. 

National mWellness Day is in support of the MVP Group’s Gabay Kalusugan advocacy focusing on quality and affordable healthcare. MPIC President, Chairman and CEO, Manny V. Pangilinan says, “Filipinos now have better access to healthcare through mWell’s integrated digital healthcare ecosystem with a wide and sustainable network of medical experts and services.”

For Chaye Cabal-Revilla, Chief Finance, Risk and Sustainability Officer of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation, sustainability is the backbone of the work done across the group. Cabal-Revilla says, “Being able to serve Filipinos nationwide is at the heart of what we do in mWell. That’s why we dedicated two days working with volunteer docs and partners to provide consultation for free. As part of the MPIC Group, mWell is committed to work towards the achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being.”

According to VXON, “Fiyaah” serves as a reminder for their fans to #DareToBeYou, embrace their passions and unleash their inner light. “Fiyaah is actually a true co-production between realme’s team and VXON.

major music streaming platforms as soon as it was released. In just a few hours after its

release, the song was able to hit No. 3 on the iTunes chart for Philippines and No. 1 on the

 iTunes chart for UAE. The group also revealed the official music video on their official YouTube channel.

 

The music video starts with a colorful and warm grading before it eventually flashes into a dark

set-up or layout where the VXON members perform with fire behind them. The P-Pop boy

group’s style and aesthetic also stood out as the VXON members appeared in an all white

ensemble and all black outfit in the video layouts.

 

In addition, VXON complemented the song with a high energy choreography that makes every

viewer want to dance to Fiyaah’s beat. Moreover, VXON also proved their talent and versatility

 by incorporating English, Tagalog, and Spanish lyrics into the song, making this one of Fiyaah's highlights.

Airbnb recorded an increase in non-urban nights booked in Q2 2022 when compared with Q2 2019

  As the travel rebound continues to unfold, the benefits of tourism are spreading across the Asia Pacific. In Southeast Asia, new analysis by Airbnb reveals that the resurgence in domestic and inbound tourism is empowering locals to earn a living and make ends meet. 

 

With people continuing to embrace flexible new approaches to travel and living, communities that have traditionally missed out in the past are increasingly well-positioned to secure a bigger slice of the tourism pie, according to new Airbnb report ‘Further Afield: Spreading the Benefits of the Travel Revolution’. Across the region, this has presented fresh opportunities for locals looking to supplement their income as they grapple with rising costs of living.

Across the Asia Pacific, Airbnb nights booked in non-urban areas have increased in South Korea (up more than 180 percent ), India (up about 140 percent), and Australia (up about 60 percent) in Q2 2022 as compared to Q2 2019. In Southeast Asia, searches for stays in Siquijor in the Philippines surged by more than 280 percent while searches for Marang in Malaysia almost doubled. 

 

The typical earnings for non-urban Hosts increased correspondingly in the same period for a number of destinations. In Australia and South Korea, typical host earnings have more than doubled as travel returned in full force. In the Philippines, almost half of local Airbnb hosts surveyed said their earnings have helped them navigate rising costs of living including housing, daily necessities, and home improvement needs.

 

Not only are travelers eyeing destinations off the beaten path, they’re also looking to stay longer. Notably, nights booked for long-term stays (stays longer than 28 days) in non-urban areas approximately doubled in popular travel and remote working hotspot Thailand in Q2 2022, up from Q2 2019 pre-pandemic.

 

In Southeast Asia, a number of destinations outside major metropolitan hubs were popular  among travelers on Airbnb for long-term stays in Q2 2022. Examples included:

●      Dapa, Panglao, Dumaguete and Silang in the Philippines

●      Ipoh, Kuah, Semenyih, and Port Dickson in Malaysia

●      Koh Pha Ngan, Koh Lanta and Krabi in Thailand

 

Mich Goh, Airbnb’s Head of Public Policy for Southeast Asia, India, Hong Kong and Taiwan, said: “More than two years since the start of the pandemic, we continue to see fundamental shifts in travel that are creating new opportunities for off-the-beaten-track communities. It’s incredibly exciting to see travelers so enthusiastic about exploring new destinations, as well as the positive economic impact cascading to locals.

 

“The increasing popularity of Dapa, Panglao, Dumaguete and Silang reinforce the importance of the Department of Tourism’s plans to drive tourism development in the countryside and promote lesser-known destinations.  We are committed to continuing to work together with governments and stakeholders to keep inspiring travelers to step off the beaten path, and help ensure more communities can share in the benefits of tourism.”

 

In addition to encouraging travelers to explore further afield through innovative search tools such as Categories and I’m Flexible, Airbnb remains committed to partnering with governments and communities in Southeast Asia, including in the Philippines. The company has partnered with Thailand and Indonesia’s tourism authorities on a range of ‘Live and Work Anywhere’ initiatives to attract global digital nomads and remote workers, as part of broader efforts to drive inbound tourism as travel returns.
