Lalamove announced its strengthened partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry Region 3 (DTI-3)

Third-party logistics solutions provider Lalamove announced its strengthened partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry Region 3 (DTI-3) for the upcoming Likha ng Central Luzon Trade Fair. The partnership sees Lalamove’s continued support of the government’s efforts to empower micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) under the One Town, One Product (OTOP) Philippines stimulus program. 

 

This entails the provision of business logistics solutions to businesses across provinces within Central Luzon – namely Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales – that are designed to drive growth, widen reach, and boost economic performance.

 

A collaboration to further Central Luzon’s growth

 

This collaboration between Lalamove and DTI is in line with the latter’s promotion of entrepreneurship across the Philippines, and its continued advocacy for local products and goods. Supported by the Regional Development Council-3 and the Central Luzon Growth Corridor Foundation, Inc., it furthers the Department’s mandate to drive inclusive economic growth across all regions, provinces, and cities in the country.

Likha ng Central Luzon Trade Fair, a major regional trade promotion activity jointly organized by DTI-3 and Philexport-3 aims to gather and champion the region’s entrepreneurs. The annual event will run its 24th edition on October 26-30, 2022 at the Mega Trade Hall, SM Megamall. 

 

“By working together with logistics partner Lalamove, we hope to bridge the gap between Central Luzon communities, shine a light on the beauty of Filipino craftsmanship, creativity and ingenuity by opening the avenue for MSMEs to reach wider markets without compromising affordability and efficiency, and ultimately boost regional commerce across the country,”  DTI-3 Assistant Regional Director Brigida Pili commented.

 

Business solutions for MSME growth & empowerment

 

“As an advocate for MSME growth and empowerment, especially at the regional level, we hope to serve as a platform that enables connection among markets and communities in the Philippines, starting with Central Luzon. By working closely with the government to provide access to local entrepreneurs, we hope more businesses will feel more empowered and confident to grow their businesses further, and reach farther, with Lalamove,” expressed Dannah Majarocon, Lalamove Philippines Managing Director. 

 

Through the on-demand delivery platform’s long-distance delivery and last-mile delivery solutions, the partnership hopes to push entrepreneurs to grow further with the app’s affordable rates (fixed price for the first 40 kms), reach farther with wider coverage across 31 serviceable areas in Luzon, and broaden their market through a wide-ranging fleet of vehicles fit for every delivery requirement. 

 

Through these offerings and more, MSMEs can easily widen their scope for both B2B and B2C deliveries, effectively opening new opportunities for growth with Lalamove. This, tied with the Likha ng Central Luzon Trade Fair, and entrepreneurs across Central Luzon are given the perfect avenue to establish new partnerships, promotions and connections with neighbouring provinces and communities. 

 

With the Lalamove app, MSMEs can book from Pampanga, Manila, Olongapo and Tarlac within Central Luzon, or across Luzon, for their business needs. They will immediately have access to features such as route optimization, trusted partner drivers, and multi-stop deliveries, to name a few, plus a fleet of motorcycles, sedans, 4-wheel, 6-wheel, and even 10-wheel trucks to tap. As corporate clients, MSMEs can unlock further tools to enrich their ventures, including optimal support from the Lalamove team for growing businesses.

Zone Five Camera Club supports HOPE

Since its founding in 1978, Zone Five Camera Club (ZVCC), a guild of aesthetes who share a love for photography, has become one of the most renowned fine art photography clubs in the country today.

 

Having gained recognition at local and international photography competitions, its membership has combined their passion for photography as an art form equally with a passion for creating a difference in people’s lives. 

 

For years, ZVCC has been holding exhibits and fund-raising activities to support the advancement of the education of underprivileged students at an annual charity-event fittingly called: Images of H.O.P.E. (HELPING OTHERS PROSPER & EXCEL).

In 2021, the charity-event’s beneficiaries were scholars from the Assumption Development Foundation (ADF), a non-profit organization dedicated to the learning development of select youths at Sapang Palay, Bulacan.

 

Despite COVID-19 constraints, ZVCC was able to pivot and hold the event online. It was a first in the guild’s storied history. 

 

But it is not without irony that Images of H.O.P.E.’s seamless transition into the virtual space was in stark contrast to the plight of many ADF students.

 

Schooling for the underprivileged was disproportionately impaired during the pandemic. 

 

“This is not only because of an absence of a reliable internet connection in their homes, but more importantly because of the un-likelihood of them owning laptops and computers,” said ZVCC Vice President Angela Panlilio. “Both are obvious staples in the shift to distance learning.” 

 

Perhaps as an unbearable coup de grace, the cramped quarters and raucous environs typical of indigent neighborhoods do not at all facilitate proper studying.

 

It is to this end that, through Images of H.O.P.E., ZVCC was able to raise funds to buy computers for ADF scholars; and, in partnership with PLDT/Smart’s fiber connectivity, build The Learning Hub. 

 

A fully-functioning digital learning center equipped with 10 desktop computers and 600 Mbps of internet speed, The Hub addressed ADF scholar’s needs for finding an environment conducive to studies. 

 

For 4th year college scholar, Miranella stayed at The Hub for three months as a “refuge to survive online classes,” somewhere to concentrate and deeply focus on her lessons. The set-up allowed the engineering student to “host a webinar efficiently” and eventually finish her thesis paper.

 

Clucking chickens and chattering neighbors were Jasmine’s interruptions at home. On her 2nd year of taking Office Administration, the non-stop commotion made it hard for her to work on school projects. But The Hub was “a peaceful place for people who are easily distracted by noise.”

 

Still, to some, The Hub even became a place they could call “home.”

 

To solve her internship struggles, Queenie, a student finishing Business Administration, stayed at the ADF not just for a few weeks but for an entire semester. Quicker access to The Hub made doing research and interviews for her digital project much easier to complete. And as a result, she graduated last September with the award of “Best Intern.”

 

Following the 2021 success of Images of H.O.P.E., ZVCC is again holding an online photography print sale featuring some of its best works from October 23-31 at www.zonev.org with the theme: “Larawang Likha, Handog sa Kapwa.” 

 

“This year, we have chosen our charity-event to benefit Educational Research Development Assistance (ERDA) SaBaNa (for SAnayan ng mga BAtang NAnambakan – which translates to Training Center for Child Scavengers),” said ZVCC Special Projects Head Ruben Castor Ranin.

 

Founded in 1974 by Fr. Pierre T. Tritz, SJ (Society of Jesus), a Frenchman who renounced his citizenship to become a Filipino national, ERDA dissuades Filipino children from dropping out of school. 

 

The ERDA Foundation helps underprivileged students in Radial Road 10, Tondo, Manila through the continued support of partners, volunteers, and generous benefactors such as ZVCC.

 

“ERDA has already assisted more than 800,000 children in their education, and Zone V is hopeful that we can help more,” said ZVCC President Bern Wong. “But of course we need the public’s support, and so we invite our friends, art collectors, and photography buffs to please visit www.zonev.org from October 23 to 21 and join us in this year’s Images of H.O.P.E.”

 

“With your patronage, together we can blend our passion for works of art with a passion for worthy causes,” Wong closed.

Learn how two proudly local beauty brands Jenna Essence and ISHIN built their business

Starting your own business is no easy task– more so when this business is focused on beauty and health products. Not only do you need to have a keen eye on what’s trending, you also need to ensure that your items are effective and safe for your customers, and that ultimately builds a loyal community that keeps on using your products. Learn how two proudly local beauty brands Jenna Essence and ISHIN built their business and made waves among Filipinos in the last few years. 

 

Jenna Reyes, the hardworking She-EO of Jenna Essence

Jenna had humble beginnings before starting Jenna Essence. Her entrepreneurial experience began at an early age as a “Batang Quiapo”, with her younger years spent helping out her grandma sell trinkets in front of Quiapo church. Growing up, Jenna was known among her peers as strong and hardworking, as she juggled different jobs to make ends meet for her family. She began to sell beauty products on a whim to supplement their household income, not knowing this would turn her life around.

 

Jenna was encouraged by her suppliers to start her own beauty brand when they saw her determination to sell their products on social media and through word-of-mouth. After testing the market with a few products, she finally hit her stride with the trending Cocoberry Beauty Essentials. Her business flourished even more when she partnered with Shopee to bring her distributors on the platform. Today, Jenna Essence has expanded to 500 resellers nationwide.

 

The true beauty of Jenna does not lie in her products, but in the way she runs her business with a strong sense of purpose. “For me, ang business ko ay hindi lang para sa akin, ito din ay para sa mga kapwa ko na gustong makagaan sa buhay [the business is not just for me, it’s also for those who want to have a better life], ” says Jenna. 

 

Beauty enthusiasts can check out Jenna’s Cocoberry Soap at Shopee’s Beauty Budol Sale. Made from coconut oil, this soap has positive reviews on its effectiveness to moisturize dry skin, sweet scent on use and smooth texture that’s easy on the skin.  This unique soap helps soften and remove dead skin cells to make your skin look fresh and glowing.

Shirleen and Miguel Bautista, the power couple of ISHIN 

Shirleen and Miguel did what most of us aspire to– they chased their dreams and followed through. Despite both working high-level corporate jobs, they still felt that they could do something more. Both had an affinity for entrepreneurship and knew that this was the path for them. 

 

By chance, the couple came across a hot selling ointment among locals in one of their trips abroad and thought of selling it in the country. With this item, they became successful distributors in the country and gained international recognition that brought them in talks with a Japanese manufacturer who shared its formula which became the birth of ISHIN. By placing their products on Shopee, Shirleen and Miguel made the most of the benefits of the app such as its wide user base and monthly campaigns. 

 

ISHIN became a popular brand among Filipinos who aimed for a healthy and glowing complexion with its unique glutathione formula. For Shirleen and Miguel, their brand goes beyond giving Filipinos premium yet affordable beauty products. “We consider ISHIN to be a heart-based business, not just because of the reasonable prices we have but also how we want our success to pass to our distributors as well,” says Shirleen. 

 

Shoppers who feel inclined to support local businesses with a heart can check out ISHIN at Shopee’s Beauty Budol Sale and get the ISHIN Advanced White. This item is made from a Japanese-tested formula with a unique blend of pearl powder, glutathione, NAC, and collagen that nourishes your skin for a healthy look. Users can also get premium glutathione at up to 20% off and up to 25% off flash deals on ISHIN products when they shop at the Beauty Budol Sale. 

 

From October 23 - 25, shoppers can enjoy up to 90% off and limited-time deals on health and beauty products from local beauty brands such as Jenna Essence, ISHIN and more, only at Shopee’s Beauty Budol Sale. Click here to know more.

Ian Veneracion stars in action series "One Good Day"

Time and time again, Ian Veneracion continuously proves he is one of the most brilliant and established artists the country has ever produced. Started out his impressive showbiz career as a child and teen actor, Ian at some point eventually became a sought-after action star in the ‘90s and early 2000s with movies such as “Zaldong Tisoy,” “Halang Ang Bituka,” “Sgt. Bobby Aguilar: Isa Lang Ang Buhay Mo,” “Ben Balasador: Akin ang Huling Alas,” “Bastardo,” “Armadong Hudas” and “Totoy Hitman,” among many others. 

Proving he is more than just that, Ian’s passion for acting flourished even more as he expanded his range from drama, romantic-comedies, horror, and suspense which Filipinos across generations have come to love.

Driven by his unmatched dedication to his craft, Ian without a doubt remains at the prime of his career. So to celebrate his four decades in the entertainment industry, Ian is all geared up for his much-anticipated return to action via Studio Three-Sixty action series “One Good Day” set to stream November 17 exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.

“This series will surprise our Filipino viewers in terms of quality. With the recent availability of current technologies; the level of image and sound quality, non-linear storytelling, creative and fast paced fight scenes, that of which, would certainly make us proud to showcase the Filipino talent in the art, and science of film making,” shared Ian.

In "One Good Day," Ian plays the role of Dale Sta. Maria, a strong-willed mobster who left the Rodrigo Organization after finding out that he has a brain tumor and that death is upon him. However, with the death of his loved ones, he is drawn out of retirement and is forced to go on a final mission before calling it a day. 

“The role requires a delicate balance of internal ‘order and chaos’ for any actor. A sensitive man, trapped in the complexity of having to embrace violence, in order to gain the peace and simplicity that ultimately is, his end goal,” Ian explained.

Making this heart-pounding series a reality is notable action director Lester Pimentel Ong – best known for “Panday,” “Lastikman,” “Imortal,” “La Luna Sangre,” “Indio” and “Bagani,” to name a few.

“It gives me great pride to be creating action content for the region – something that I feel is critical to grow the industry. I am fortunate to be doing this with Ian, who is not only a brilliant actor, but also a martial artist and an athlete – a true professional who has given Studio Three Sixty his trust,” Direk Lester enthused.

Joining Ian in the star-studded cast of “One Good Day” are Rabiya Mateo as Sandra, Andrea Torres as Alex Sandoval, Aljur Abrenica as Kyzer Catillo, Justin Cuyugan as Roman Rodrigo, Nicole Cordoves as Anne Rodrigo, Pepe Herrera as Joey Rodrigo, Robert Seña as Atty. Bobby Miclat and Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo as Gloria Marquez.

Also with them in this six-episode series are equally amazing talents Claire Ruiz as Mayor Beatrice Marquez, Louise Abuel as Lucky, Joe Vargas as Agent Renz Cruz, Marela Torre as Agent Kona, Lance Pimentel as Lando, and Pontri Bernardo as Governor Paulo Simon. 

A story about family, love, greed and power in the beautiful dark backdrop of kingmakers in the Philippines, stream “One Good Day” on Amazon Prime Video beginning November 17, 2022 with new episodes dropping every Thursdays.
