Watsons Holds 1st Medical Mission for 2023



Watsons held its first ‘Alagang Pangkalusugan’ medical mission for 2023 last April 13 in partnership with SM Foundation at the Centennial Arena in Laoag, Ilocos Norte. The medical mission aimed to provide free medical services to Laoag residents and promote the importance of health and wellness.

The medical mission included Watsons officials led by Patrick Yu, Marketing Manager of Watsons Philippines and Belle Pesayco, CSR Pillar Head of Watsons Philippines, 25 Watsons volunteer employees and supplier partners, as well as 25 medical volunteers from the local government unit.

The medical mission was conducted in partnership with the Ilocos Norte provincial government led by Gov. Matthew Joseph Manotoc. 


Among the free medical services that the medical mission offered to Laoag residents were doctor’s consultations, blood tests, bone screening, hearing check, skin analysis, hair analysis, ECG, and X-ray. 

Free medicines, vitamins, and health supplements were also given to Laoag residents who went to the medical outreach. 

“We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Watsons for choosing Laoag. This is a great opportunity for our residents, especially the seniors, to get medical attention and live healthier lives,” said Governor Matthew Marcos Manotoc. 

“Watsons is very happy to bring ‘Alagang Pangkalusugan” medical mission to Laoag to help those who have little or no access to medical consultations and services. This is part of our sustainability program’s commitment under the community pillar,” said Patrick Yu, Marketing Manager of Watsons Philippines.

“If there is one thing we learned about working with communities, it is that we can’t do it alone. We need the support of doctors, nurses, our partner suppliers, and volunteer employees to successfully mount medical missions and really make a difference in people’s lives,” said Patrick Yu.

mWell continues to blaze trails in digital healthcare globally

 

Metro Pacific Investments Corporation’s (MPIC) mWell continues to blaze trails in digital healthcare globally as it was named the winner of two Gold Stevie® Awards in the Innovation in Health & Wellness and Most Innovative Startup of the Year- Business Service Industries categories in the 10th annual Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards. mWell is the only Philippine entry to bring home the Gold Award in these two categories.

The two Gold Stevie® Awards come at the heels of being chosen as the Best Mobile Innovation for Digital Life in the 2023 Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards, held during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. 

 

The Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards are the only business awards program to recognize innovation in the workplace in all 29 nations of the Asia-Pacific region.  The Stevie Awards are widely considered to be the world's premier business awards, conferring recognition for achievement in programs such as The International Business Awards® for 21 years. Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned,” the winners will be celebrated during a virtual (online) awards ceremony on Tuesday, 27 June.  

 

More than 800 nominations from organizations across the Asia-Pacific region were considered this year in categories such as Award for Excellence in Innovation in Products & Services, Award for Innovative Management, and Award for Innovation in Corporate Websites, among many others.  Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 100 executives around the world acting as judges in February and March.

“The 10th edition of the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards attracted many remarkable nominations,” said Stevie Awards president Maggie Miller.  “The organizations that won this year have demonstrated that they are committed to being innovative, and we applaud them for their perseverance and creativity.  We look forward to celebrating many of this year’s winners during our virtual awards ceremony on 27 June.”

 

mWell’s achievement comes soon after being recognized as the Best Mobile Innovation for Digital Life in the recently concluded 2023 Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards, held during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Recognized in the new Digital Everything category, mWell is the first in the Philippines to receive this most prestigious accolade in the mobile industry, judged by more than 200 independent judges from across the world, comprised of leading industry and subject matter experts, analysts, journalists, and academics. It celebrates companies, individuals, and governments who have driven the greatest innovation in mobile and adjacent industries.

An accredited telemedicine partner of the Department of health, mWell has redefined telemedicine in the Philippines via a seamless, fully digital experience.

They can even have their medicines delivered to their doorsteps via MedExpress.  Furthermore, mWell provides a digital medical ID which empowers users to keep track of their own personal record which they can easily access.

OPPO recently launched its first-ever flip phone, the OPPO Find N2 Flip


Global smart device brand OPPO recently launched its first-ever flip phone, the OPPO Find N2 Flip. Theseis latest innovations deliver the best product in the market, with technology that focuses on making the flip phone experience unique and seamless. What makes the OPPO Find N2 Flip above the rest is its industry-leading Flexion Hinge that marks a new era in flip phones.

 

On the new OPPO Find N2 Flip, users can take advantage of the tear-drop shaped hinge that changes the game for the flip phone technology. It serves as a solid foundation for a compact yet powerful and capable device with its large cover screen and battery.


OPPO Find N2 Flip in Astral Black

The Next Generation Flexion Hinge

The carefully designed Flexion Hinge is an example of OPPO’s commitment to continuously improve the smartphone industry. Flexion Hinge is first launched in the Find N series, the first ever OPPO foldable phone that is packed with powerful performance while maintaining an appropriate weight and size, it remains the best feature for OPPO’s powerhouse flip phone. With the miniaturized hinge of the Find N2 Flip, the smartphone is more compact and light without compromising its important features. It underwent rigorous testing and improvements throughout to deliver the highest quality it has today.

 

The upgraded hinge also improves upon the core functionality, with a new cam system and 1/4 spindle assembly, so it can hold its form part-folded between 45° and 110°. Its FlexForm Mode lets you hold the phone in your chosen position. You can dive into a relaxing binge-watch, take video calls and capture scroll-stopping photos or videos as if it has a built-in tripod.

 

The choice of hinge materials has also been refined, with Find N2 Flip featuring a flexible stainless steel element that is precision etched, and injected with a soft, pliable material. 

 

Aeronautical high-strength steel at the key bearing position ensures the hinge to deliver higher reliability, that the tensile strength is up to 15%, and the yield strength is up to 25%[1]. Meanwhile, the aircraft-grade carbon-fiber reinforced polymer is also there to make sure the hinge is strong but light.

 

This creates the perfect amount of flex and firmness, whether folding the phone or typing on the display. It also guides the screen into a specific waterdrop fold when Find N2 Flip is shut, reducing the crease significantly when compared to the competition. The water drop shape has a larger bending radius than the U-shaped hinge, resulting in a lighter crease and lessening screen deformation.

Find N2 Flip’s Reticular Matrix Plate combines with display layers to achieve the perfect fold

Superior Features

The OPPO Find N2 Flip boasts a large cover screen on the front of the phone thanks to the miniaturized hinge in Find N2 Flip. A smaller hinge also makes a high-capacity, fast-charging battery possible, and its robustness helps to create unique, part-folded experiences and upgrade durability.

 

Find N2 Flip features the largest cover screens of any flip phone (foldable phones with clamshell fold), elevating the element from decorative to game-changing. The 3.26" cover screen accounts for 48.5% of the top half of the phone to display more content. When matched with OPPO’s design thinking, the cover screen becomes an easy-to-see, first point of interaction, so you can check in with your phone, and get a snapshot of your digital life at a glance.

 

See the weather, your notifications, and even reply to messages quickly, then move on – helping you to strike a better digital health balance while staying connected.

 

Find N2 Flip’s cover screen isn’t just powerful, it’s playful too, introducing new interactive pet wallpapers to add pockets of fun to your day. 

 

Speaking of fun – if you love selfies, you’ve probably used a low-specced dedicated selfie camera in the past, but now with the cover screen together with the help of the Flexion Hinge that can enable your phone to “stand” in a part-folded way, you can preview while you are shooting video with it, and also capture clearer selfies with the main camera -- the best camera on your phone.

 

Find N2 Flip’s photography highlights don’t stop there. With Dual Preview, give users’ subjects a cover screen preview of themselves, and part-fold the phone to unlock FlexForm Mode – perfect for time-lapses, video calls and long-exposure photography.

 

A great camera phone is of limited use if its battery can’t keep up with creativity – but Find N2 Flip’s can. While most flip phones feature between 3500mAh and 3700mAh of power – Find N2 Flip upgrades that capacity to a whopping 4300mAh with a 44W SUPERVOOC flash charging that comes with it for an all-day user experience..

 

The miniaturized hinge doesn’t sacrifice durability, with the phone having been tested to 400,000 folds by TÜV Rheinland – the equivalent for withstanding normal usage for around 10 years[2]. It’s also been put through extreme conditions, working perfectly after being folded and unfolded 100,000 times at both -20ºC and 50ºC.

 

It isn’t just the folding mechanism that gives Find N2 Flip the edge. When shut, the New Generation Flexion Hinge doesn’t feature a hinge gap. This prevents dust and airborne particles from collecting along the crease line, so every time you use it, the screen looks as fresh as when you left it.

 

Finally, the whole phone looks and feels like a familiar, traditional, compromise-free smartphone when open. The Flexion Hinge and unique Reticular Matrix Plate supporting the screen result in the shallowest crease of any folding phone, making it virtually invisible in most environments. This means you can focus on what’s on-screen, and use the large, high-quality display to watch, game, browse or scroll without compromise.

A New Era in Flip Phones

Thanks to its smaller, New Generation Flexion Hinge, Find N2 Flip enjoys the largest cover screen, highest capacity battery and fastest charging of any flip phone. It also creates rich cover screen experiences with that extra size, ranging from playful interactive animals to useful toggles and widgets, and it levels up photography and durability in a host of ways.

 

So while the hinge of a flip phone might be a single element, its impact is far-reaching, and thanks to OPPO’s game-changing New Generation Flexion Hinge, Find N2 Flip is a compromise-free breakthrough for the category. 

 

The new OPPO Find N2 Flip is now available for Php 49,999 via select OPPO Concept Stores, partner dealers, and online through OPPO Official Stores on Lazada with exclusive offer of 0% interest installment for 45 days through LazPayLater as well as free shipping, Shopee, and TikTok Shop.

 

You can also get the Globe Plan 1499 to own the Find N2 Flip with a cash out of Php 28,800 and for Plan 999 with a cash out of Php 33,600. Both plans have the OPPO Enco Air 3 and OPPO Band 2 as freebies. 

 

For Smart Plan 1499, there will also be cash out available and freebies including the OPPO Enco Air3 and OPPO Band 2. 

 

For Home Credit, enjoy 0% interest and installment options for 9,12,15,18, and 24 months, with the lowest monthly payment at Php 1,504. Lastly, for all credit cards, customers can avail of the OPPO Find N2 Flip at 6 or 12 months installment at 0% interest.

 

Perfect Partner

Complement your Find N2 Flip with the OPPO Pad Air, now available in a new Midnight Purple color and with more memory at 4+128GB priced at just Php 15,999.00.
