Tinder’s Year in Swipe

Let’s be real, 2021 wasn’t the return to IRL we thought it would be - a mask was still your most steadfast accessory and you sought out vaccination appointments like concert tickets. The start of 2022, however, brought new excitement for getting back ‘out there’ with our collective resolve to make up for lost time during quarantine. Social activities like travel and live events rebounded in record fashion, and dating was no exception. Millions of young adults who started their dating lives in lockdown, showed they were definitely out and ready to mingle IRL, and unlike previous generations, they were dating on their terms and were done playing games. 

 

With 2022 drawing to a close, Tinder’s Year in Swipe shares the top flirt flexes of the year. From new relationship labels and stances on social issues, to sober dating trends and the hot new emojis popping up in the chat, here’s the state of the date: 

10 Essential Trends on Tinder in 2022

 

#1. Young singles are owning the situationship as a valid relationship status. Young singles were still down to play the field this year, but they opted for a high-quality roster where everyone was on the same page. More than a hookup, but not quite a traditional relationship, the “situationship,” a casual - yet clearly defined - relationship came to rise in 2022. Tinder saw a 49%¹increase in members adding the new relationship intention to their profiles and over 1 in 10²  surveyed young singles said they prefer situationships as a way to develop a relationship with less pressure. 

 

#2. Positivity was a major plus. Originally known as the parking symbol, 🅿️ has been  repurposed to represent Pushin P and was the number 1 trending emoji globally on Tinder this year. An interesting shift from the trending emojis of years past ( 🤦in 2019, 🤷in 2020, and  👀in 2021), members turned to 🅿️ to let the world - and their matches know ‘positivity’ and keeping it real is exactly what they’re looking for¹   In the Philippines,❤️ is the most used emoji, representing the renewed interest in itinadhana among Pinoy daters. Completing the top three emoji in 2022 are 😘 and 😊.

 

#3. The dinner date could soon be dead. It seems the activities we took to during the pandemic are here to stay. Tinder found through a survey that 73% of Pinoy young adults aged 18-25 years old prefer simple dates like taking a walk or grabbing a coffee. 56% prefer to go on a foodie date like checking out new brunch spots, 40% still want to go on a classic movie date, 20% like to go on a music date such as going to a gig, 21% will explore culture date in museums or galleries, and 15% will look for active date like climbing, hiking and cycling.⁶   They’re opting for less traditional, more authentic and sometimes sober (see below) ways to get to know one another. Other creative activities like Camping, BBQs, Trying New Things, and Street Food all made it into the top 10 trending global Interests on Tinder.

 

#4. More singles are raising a glass to sober dates. Alcohol-free dates have become a way for singles to be more authentic on dates and challenge traditional dating norms.  Over 25% of surveyed young singles on Tinder said they drink less on dates compared with last year² and when describing their drinking habits 72%¹ of members said on their Tinder profiles that they don’t drink or only drink occasionally. In fact, the 🍻and 🍷 emojis each decreased (40% and 25% respectively) on TInder profiles YoY¹.

 

#5. Being Funny, Fresh, and Forward was sexy AF. A sense of humor was what members looked for most when reading a potential match’s profile, and 73%² of young singles surveyed across all genders said they were looking for someone who is clear about what they want and has good hygiene. When asked what the most important characteristics are in a potential date, young singles prioritized value-based qualities like loyalty (79%), respect (78%) and open-mindedness (61%) over looks (56%)³. 

 

#6. Stances on social issues could make or break a match. Three-quarters (75%) singles were looking for a match who is respectful of or invested in social issues². Additionally, the Activism and Voters Rights Interests both increased (84% and 37% respectively) in Tinder profiles this year¹. 

 

#7. Nostalgia stanning was a flex. Young singles are getting inspo from 90s and noughties dating trends. The fastest growing interests on Tinder were blasts from the past like 90’s Kid, Anime, and Sneakers. Even everyone’s favorite new old song, Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill'' made a comeback and was in the top 10 Spotify Anthems noted on Tinder profiles¹. Tinder's modern take on the traditional Blind Date also launched for the hotter months. The Blind Date feature on Tinder paired members before allowing them to view each other's profile and was used 200,000 times a day on average⁴. It’s been a tough few years, and it looks like singles are turning to the authenticity and good vibes of a pre-smartphone world. 

 

#8. The 🚩(red flag) & 🌫️  (gaslighting) emojis were trending for good reason. Toxic relationships aren’t new, but all of the tips and psychoanalysis on social media show that young singles are more clued up about the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to dating. Over half (58%) of surveyed young singles said they were confident they could identify a green or red flag²when dating. In 2022, singles have finally had enough and are dishing on what they consider red and green flags, and all of our BS radars have gotten better because of it. A true public service. Tinder members can check out School of Swipe™ for more on healthy and safe dating.

 

#9. Revenge travel racked up the miles on Tinder. After two pandemic-filled trips around the sun, singles were finally able to get back to exploring new horizons with fewer or no restrictions. 18-25 year olds passported on average 9 times a month⁵ with top passport destinations of Pinoy daters including Great Britain, USA and Australia. Locally, Pinoy daters’ top cities to passport to are Quezon City, Cebu City, and Baguio. 

 

#10. Amidst uncertainty and a triple mercury retrograde in 2022 singles were looking to the stars for guidance. Star signs were the most popular type of descriptor added to Tinder bios behind smoking preferences, pets and diet. Leos, Scorpios and Cancers were the signs most likely to include their sign in their bios, and surprisingly, all star signs were most likely to match with the exact same zodiac sign¹.

Samsung Electro-Mechanics Philippines (SEMPHIL) bags the Golden Achievement Award

 

Samsung Electro-Mechanics Philippines (SEMPHIL) bagged the Golden Achievement Award on November 27, 2022. The Golden Achievement Award, bestowed by the Philippine government, is regarded as the most prestigious award given to companies registered with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) and presented by Secretary Alfredo E. Pascual of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

 

Every year, the Philippine government selects and awards outstanding companies in four categories: export, employment, social contribution, and environment. The Golden Achievement Award honors the most outstanding company among the list of companies that have been elevated to the Hall of Fame in all categories.

(L-R)  PEZA OIC-Deputy Director General for Operations Ms. Vivian Santos, DTI Secretary Alfredo Pascual, President and Head of Samsung Electro-Mechanics Philippines (SEMPHIL) Mr. Seoncheol Park, PEZA OIC-Director General Mr. Tereso Panga, and PEZA OIC-Deputy Director General for Finance and Administration Mr. Aleem Siddiqui Guiapal

Samsung Electro-Mechanics was also inducted into the Hall of Fame by receiving the recognition three times in each category leading to their win of the Golden Achievement Award this year.  To date, Samsung Electro-Mechanics has received the Outstanding in Community Projects award in 2007, 2008, and 2009; Outstanding Employer in 2006, 2010, and 2012; Outstanding Exporter in 2011, 2012 and 2013; and Outstanding Environmental Performer in 2007, 2019, 2020.  Since the inception of the Golden Achievement Award in 2012, only five companies, including Samsung Electro-Mechanics, have received this prestigious recognition.

 

Vice President and Head of SEMPHIL Park Seoncheol said, "It is an honor to be recognized as the most outstanding company in all categories: export, employment, and social contribution environment. We will continue to actively conduct social welfare programs for employees and local communities, preserve a healthy environment, and pursue sustainable development."

 

SEMPHIL has received high scores for obtaining certification for an environmental management system (ISO14001) from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and systematically improving the environment, such as energy conservation, reduction in consumption of chemicals, and compliance with standards to prevent water and air pollution.

 Samsung Electro-Mechanics Philippines (SEMPHIL) situated in Calamba Premiere International Park in Calamba City of Laguna, started its operation from year 2000

 

 

In addition, SEMPHIL was also honored for leading the way in advancing social ideals and sustaining corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts through various activities like tree planting and coastline cleanup. SEMPHIL has also taken the initiative to find fresh talents among the low-income households and has provided them learning advice and scholarships in order to help them develop their skills. These promising individuals were given the chance to work for the company. 

Since its founding in 1997, SEMPHIL has been manufacturing the MLCC (Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor), the flagship product, as well as other passive components such as inductors and chip resistors. Its revenue increased by $1,153 million in 2021. In order to meet the demand for IT and automotive components, Samsung Electro-Mechanics is getting ready to use its Philippine Plant (SEMPHIL) as one of its primary production facilities in the future.

 

In August 2022, Samsung Electro-Mechanics CEO Chang Duckhyun met with Secretary Alfredo Pascual of the Department of Trade and Industry to share about SEMPHIL's main activities, innovative technology cases, and contribution to economic growth in the Philippines. Through this meeting, Chang has also requested DTI’s support for Korea's bid to host the 2030 Busan World Expo where Samsung acts as a member of the public-private 2030 Busan World Expo bidding committee.

Newbie and professional photographers alike will definitely swoon over the next level photography features of vivo X90 series

In the history of the X series, vivo began to cooperate with ZEISS to cultivate the imaging in the vivo X60 Pro+ deeply, brought its own vivo V1 chip in vivo X70 Pro+, upgraded the chip to vivo V1+ chip in the vivo X80 Series then iterated the chip into vivo V2 in the vivo X90. For ten years, vivo has always regarded outstanding cameras as a permanent pursuit.

 

vivo Product Manager Dian Zhao said: “The vivo X90 Pro+ should not only be the main camera for most users but also become a spare camera for professional photographers.” Based on this ambition, the vivo X90 series beefed up its  camera specifications from its predecessors.

 

All vivo X90 series lenses are equipped with an upgraded version of ZEISS T* coating as a standard configuration, introducing “ALC sub-wavelength bionic structure coating”, combined with SWC, which is more conducive to eliminating flare and ghosting. The ultra-low distortion ultra-wide-angle camera combined with ZEISS miniaturization and bokeh enables tilt-shift photography. vivo uses low-dispersion and high-transparency glass in its 1-inch T* main camera lens. The company claims that this, combined with a wide f/1.75 aperture, lets an extra 24 percent more light into the lens than the “public” version of the Sony IMX989 sensor.

 

vivo has reconstructed and upgraded the hardware of the vivo V2 chip, bringing more video shooting superpowers based on computational photography to the vivo X90 series, including a 4K ultra-sensitive “night vision device” and colorful night scene video.

 

The super HDR function is added to the vivo V2 chip, which can restore what the human eye sees even in complex light sources and awesome backlight scenes. At the same time, vivo developed “zero delays” capture and a new generation of motion detection algorithms with shutter delays as low as 30ms.

 

 The post-processing section of the photo has not been ignored. vivo X90 Pro+ supports 14bit SuperRaw and video log mode function, these can provide professional photographers with better material quality for post-processing. In line with this, vivo X90 Pro+ can also realize the complete experience of Dolby Vision video ecology, bringing the full workflow of Dolby Vision from shooting to display up to editing.

 

In addition to the main sensor, vivo X90 Pro  boasts not just one but two telephoto cameras. The first one is a 50mm prime master camera that can capture the portrait with vivid color and delicate skin texture. The 90mm medium telephoto portrait lens is good at creating spatial compression and bokeh, especially suitable for humanistic street photography.

 

All these specs and more will make up the vivo X90 series that all photography enthusiasts should watch out for. Be the first to know about the next vivo smartphone through its official website and social media pages in Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok.

 

Aveeno unlocked the power of oats with its science-based formulation that appeals to a wide range of people with sensitive to eczema-prone skin

Our skin is the body’s largest and most visible organ. It serves to protect everything, trapping moisture in while keeping allergens, irritants, and pollutants out. Having sensitive skin is natural, but it’s often overlooked or misunderstood. Many don’t realize that sensitive skin isn’t a skin type, but rather a skin state, may it be dry skin, hormonal skin, sunburned, red, or eczema prone – it’s all sensitive. So, paying attention to your skin, learning about skincare, and adopting good habits can prevent skin flare-ups and lead to a lifetime of healthier skin.

 

November is National Healthy Skin Month, making it a great time to give your skin that extra care it needs. It is also a good reminder for everyone to know more about the products they use to manage their sensitive skin. Aveeno® has once again unlocked the power of oats with its science-based formulation that appeals to a wide range of people with sensitive to eczema-prone skin. These are people who are looking for a better solution to relieve them from their skin conditions. “We know that sensitive skin is real and can have a tremendous impact on one’s quality of life. Aveeno®’s commitment is to care for people with sensitive skin—dry, itchy, and eczematic by combining scientific research with the strong power of oats. As a leader in skin science, Aveeno® has everyday solutions made with effective formulations proven to soothe, help heal and protect dry, sensitive skin.” says, senior marketing manager for skin health franchise Nica Rollan.

 

Aveeno® is also recommended by dermatologists as our products are thoughtfully formulated for sensitive skin, free of parabens, phthalates, and dyes. Johnson and Johnson research and development scientist for skin health, Chernis Low, shared “We are mindful of our consumers’ concern, and seek to address their needs by unlocking the power of natural ingredients in our science-backed solutions.”

 

Through the years, Aveeno® has innovated solutions for different levels of skin needs and sensitivities all with the power of oats. Aveeno®’s Daily Moisture is for people with normal/ sensitive skin. Its key ingredient is prebiotic colloidal oats which helps prevent daily skin sensitivity and dryness by locking in moisture. For those experiencing dry to sensitive skin, Aveeno® Skin Relief helps restore moisture loss, soothes, and relieves dryness. It also provides long-lasting protection with its triple oat complex and natural colloidal oats. Aveeno® also offers a specialized line for eczema-prone skin by combining triple oats and ceramides in Aveeno® Dermexa. Aveeno® Dermexa provides immediate comfort, prevents flare-ups, and the recurrence of extreme dryness.
