Acer announces the latest addition to its lineup of powerful gaming desktops, the Predator Orion X

Acer today announced the latest addition to its lineup of powerful gaming desktops, the Predator Orion X. The compact gaming PC packs a massive punch as it combines up to the special edition 13th Gen Intel^® Core^™ i9-13900KS processor and up to a liquid-cooled NVIDIA^® GeForce RTX^™ 4090 GPU, custom-engineered to fit all this power in a small, portable chassis. The space capsule-inspired design was crafted with multiple “zones” to house the CPU, GPU and liquid cooling system, an impressive feat for a desktop of this size. The upgradeable gaming PC also comes with a removable magnetic front cover and metal side panels to protect the vital internals and a mechanical arm-like headset cradle at the top. 

Acer also announced new additions to its range of curved screens with the Nitro XZ452CU V and Predator X34 V gaming monitors. With nearly 45 inches of viewing space, the Nitro X2452CU V’s AMD FreeSync^™ Premium Pro-supported DQHD monitor and rapid 165 Hz refresh rate allow for seamless viewing experience when playing games or multitasking. The Predator X34 V’s OLED UWQHD panel, DCI-P3 99% color gamut and VESA DisplayHDR^™True Black 400 let players experience brilliant visuals and play games in their full glory.  

Predator Orion X: Out of this World Features and DIY-friendly Design

The Predator Orion X is equipped with 13th Gen Intel i9-13900KS processor^[1], which features 24 cores, 32 threads, 150W TDP with the latest hybrid architecture, and can hit a record-setting 6 Ghz for high-powered processor performance. Leveraging the ultra-efficient NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, the small gaming PC houses up to a liquid-cooled NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU block that comes with 24 GB of G6X memory to deliver the ultimate experience for gamers and creators. To fit a GeForce RTX 4090 GPU of this stature, it adds a custom-engineered, liquid-cooled cooling module to the standard heat sink fans, making it possible to combine some of the strongest gaming components within a condensed frame. 

 

The Predator Orion X’s space capsule-inspired chassis weighs only 9 kg (19.8 lbs) and features a modified layout with three special “zones” to allow for greater customization freedom and performance across the board. Zone 1 is specifically designated for greater accessibility to the CPU, PSU, and SSD, while Zone 2 keeps the VGA and dual 2.5-inch SATA HDD slots within striking distance. Zone 3 helps keep its powerful internals at bay as it stows a 240 mm CPU liquid cooler^[1], strategically stationed near Zone 1. Topping off its unique design features, the vital zones are protected with metal side panels, which can be removed using a small latch for easy upgrading and comes with a rotatable robotic-like arm on the top that functions as a headset rest. 

 

Storage-wise, gamers and creators have no reason to fret as the Predator Orion X already comes with up to 32 GB DDR5-5600^[[i]] RAM, two M.2 SSDs (up to 1 TB each) and an illuminated, hot swap NVMe M.2 SSD drive bay for added capacity. The DIY gaming rig also offers fast and seamless connectivity with Intel^® Killer E3100G and Intel^®Killer Wi-Fi 6E AX211 and a generous amount of ports including two USB3.2 Gen1 (one Type-C and one Type-A), a mic and combo jack at the front, a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port, three USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A^[1] ports, two USB 2.0 and a RJ45 located at the rear.

Century Tuna kicked off its Saving Our Seas Campaign

The Philippines is now taking more steps to achieve cleaner and livelier seas as Century Tuna kicked off its Saving Our Seas Campaign, becoming the biggest beach clean-up in the history of Mabini, Batangas. In partnership with the impact organization HOPE, and Aling Tindera’s Waste-to-Cash program which encourages the public to become responsible in plastic waste management — the country’s leading canned tuna brand aims to continue their Saving Our Seas program not just this year, but also in the years to come. 

Being in the canned tuna industry for more than 40 years, Century Tuna wants to stay and provide nourishment to Filipinos for hundreds of years and beyond. In order to do that, the brand aims to fish sustainably by removing anything that makes the seas unhealthy.

“We should see it as a historic moment because Century Tuna has moved forward in terms of taking an initiative on sustainability, by putting together the right elements that will make it sustainable. I think it's a start, and given the response, it's inspiring to continue this campaign,” said Century Pacific Food, Inc. EVP & COO Mr. Greg Banzon.

The commencement of the campaign which started in Anilao, Batangas saw a successful turnout, as the first day of the shore and reef clean-up gathered a total of 156 trash bags with 805.4 kilograms of trash collected by a total of 212 clean-up volunteers, joined by Century Tuna Ambassador Alden Richards and the Century Tuna Superbods. This makes the event the biggest beach clean-up ever in Mabini, Batangas.

 

Mr. Carlo Endaya, Century Pacific Food, Inc.’s VP & GM for Branded Tuna Business emphasized that even if the clean-up started in Anilao, the program will happen nationwide. 

 

“We still want everybody in the Philippines to join even if they're not at the beach, because plastic pollution prevention starts in our home. Our usage of plastic has to make its way into the right material and recovering facility, and the Aling Tindera sites are also nationwide. That's what we want to communicate to people,” said Mr. Endaya.

More than just a clean-up activity, Century Tuna aims to inspire Filipinos through the Saving Our Seas campaign to take part in lessening the plastic pollution in the seas, and taking action to clear away existing plastic waste. With the help of the public in joining the advocacy, the brand’s goal is to collect 10 metric tons of plastic away from the seas this year.

 

“We want to create more awareness for sustainability and more awareness towards taking plastic out of the system so that microplastics don’t leak into our ocean and eventually go into our food. We want to inspire more people to join the initiative as any effort, whether big or small, is important for our future,” said Mr. Leonardo Po, Director & Treasurer of Century Pacific Food, Inc.

Prior to the campaign, Century Tuna has been plastic-neutral in their operations for 3 years now. The brand recognizes Aling Tindera and HOPE Foundation as the gamechangers in completing the plastic circular economy, as they allow communities to earn money from collecting plastic, and makes sure that the plastic collected goes to the right facilities to be properly recycled or disposed of.

Alongside the Saving Our Seas campaign launch, Century Tuna also introduced their newest product Ventresca, the brand’s most premium tuna full of indulgence. The brand also commemorated this year’s Earth Hour movement during the event as a symbol of commitment to saving the planet. 

 

Century Tuna’s “Saving Our Seas'' campaign is just a start of their many initiatives to help our planet. The campaign is not just a one-time, big-time event, as the brand still continues to track the plastic recovered in Anilao sites monthly. It also aims to stay aware of other clean-up efforts done by different organizations and find ways to support/help them—and ultimately save the planet.

Get the chance to be the first ones to listen to Ed Sheeran’s upcoming fifth studio album, ‘Subtract’

Good news, Filipino Sheerios! You have the chance to be the first ones to listen to Ed Sheeran’s upcoming fifth studio album, ‘Subtract.’ 

 

Warner Music Philippines is holding an exclusive album listening experience at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Eye on May 4, 2023. This is the day before Ed Sheeran is set to release his latest album across all platforms. 

Each cabin on the MOA Eye will be converted into a private ‘Subtract’ listening booth, where fans will have the once-in-a-lifetime experience of riding the ferris wheel while enjoying snippets of new music from Ed Sheeran. Those who want to take part in this event simply need to visit the MOA Eye during mall hours and pre-save the album on their listening platform of choice – it’s that easy! 

As if being the first to hear ‘Subtract’ isn’t exciting enough, those who are lucky enough to be part of this event will also get the opportunity to win official Ed Sheeran merchandise. 

 

Those who have been following the British singer-songwriter’s journey know that his upcoming album will be the most honest and vulnerable one yet, as it draws from hard-hitting events that Ed has faced in recent years. 

Album pre save: https://es.lnk.to/subtract

 

He recently released a new single called “Eyes Closed,” which has an upbeat pop feel to it. However, closer inspection of the lyrics reveal that it captures the essence of love and loss, which is also reflected in the official video.

 

“This song is about losing someone, feeling like every time you go out and you expect to just bump into them, and everything just reminds you of them and the things you did together. You sorta have to take yourself out of reality sometimes to numb the pain of loss, but certain things just bring you right back into it,” Ed shared about the song and its video. 

 

If this single gives any indication of what we can expect from ‘Subtract,’ it’s clear that Ed’s new album will be one that bares his soul and taps into his most genuine emotions.  

 

So what are you waiting for? Mark your calendar as not to miss the opportunity to be one of the first people to experience Ed Sheeran’s ‘Subtract’!

Bid Bye to Germs and Hello to 'Oh May Glow' Skin! 

When you look at the science behind it, adding skin germ protection to your beauty regimen makes perfect sense. 

 

As our skin is constantly exposed to harsh environmental elements such as such as dirt, germs, and oil, our skin barrier is weakened, making it lose its natural glow. 

 

NEW Safeguard Lemon Fresh is infused with Vitamin C, a skincare ingredient known for its antioxidant properties, delivering a refreshing cleanse and an invigorating boost to your skin.

 

This powerful combination of Vitamin C and Safeguard's trusted antibacterial formula is what spells the healthy glow difference. Safeguard's unbeatable skin germ protection removes 99.9% of germs and reduces the re-growth of common disease-causing bacteria for up to 24 hours. Belle Mariano’s skin is not just clean and healthy – it’s naturally glowing. 

 

It’s also a glow you can smell as Safeguard Lemon Fresh leaves you smelling oh-so-good with its refreshing and long-lasting lemon scent.

Teleperformance Philippines held a program review and ceremonial turnover of wellness supplies and KISS (Keep It Safe & Sure) dispensers

Teleperformance Philippines, the first and only five-peat certified Great Place to Work® company in the country, recently  as part of their HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) in the Workplace Policy, at Teleperformance Vertis North site.

 

The main highlight of the event was the ceremonial turnover of the KISS dispensers, which was provided in partnership with the Department of Health through their Project Red Ribbon Care Management Foundation and Pilipinas Shell Foundation, Inc. as part of the Comprehensive Corporate HIV Program. The dispensers include condoms, lubricants, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PreP), and HIV testing. In addition, counseling was made available, and a demonstration of HIV testing was made at the site. 

 

IN PHOTO: Dr. Stella Flores, Pilipinas Shell Foundation Policy, Advocacy, Partnerships and Communications Manager, Ico Rodulfo Johnson, President of the Project Red Ribbon Care Management Foundation, Inc., Undersecretary Dr. Beverly Ho of the Department of Health, and Rachel Cacabelos, Teleperformance Philippines Vice President for Human Resources, Communication & Marketing, lead the turnover ceremony of wellness supplies and KISS (Keep It Safe & Sure) dispensers from the Comprehensive Corporate HIV Program (CCHIP), which aims to make HIV testing and prevention paraphernalia more accessible to the community.

 

Rachel Cacabelos, Teleperformance Philippines Vice President for Human Resources, Communication & Marketing noted, “This would show that TP is one with the community, not only the community inside but outside. Because it’s an environment, an ecosystem that you need to bend, and TP cannot do this alone. We need to have partners, like private and government partners who will help us further our advocacy not only for Teleperformance Philippines but for all communities as a whole as well.”

 

The program also aimed to have a review of Teleperformance’s HIV policy, culture journey, as well as the milestones achieved by the initiative that began way back 2015, which makes Teleperformance a safe and healthier workplace for all. The policy seeks to provide continuous drive for testing and education through e-learning, safeguard health and wellness, and have people-initiated transformation with their 3A’s (Adapt, Adopt, Advocate) Model, which has produced more than 80 advocates around the country and continues to increase.

 

The program also adheres to Republic Act No. 11223, also known as the Universal Health Care Act, which guarantees all Filipinos equitable access to high-quality, low-cost health-care goods and services while protecting them from financial risk. It ensures that every Filipino is healthy, safe from health hazards and risks, and has access to affordable, high-quality, and easily accessible health care that meets their needs.

 

“Truly, this is what Universal Healthcare law embraces, for all, and one of those is healthy workplaces. That's why I salute this group [Teleperformance Philippines], for doing this. Rest assured for our supporters to have these kinds of programs and in the future so we’re all in this together, and let’s expand this,” said Dr. Gretchel Tolentino, Assistant Regional Director of Department of Health (DOH).

 

Present at the event were representatives from public sector partners like the DOH, Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), as well as guests from organizations such as the Philippine National AIDS Council (PNAC) and IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP).

 

Dr. Felix Labanda Jr. from the Bureau of Working Conditions of DOLE remarked, “It is a big thing that HIV in the Workplace is really forwarded as something that is very relevant, which means it’s something that is not kept hidden. That is always the goal of Department of Labor and Employment; to remove the stigma and discrimination for something that is not acquired in the workplace. This turnover ceremony is a step forward to bringing perspective that you’re not just working here, but also, it is part of the solution.”

 

The HIV in the Workplace Policy of Teleperformance is implemented under its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiatives, which the company has been championing, not just for its employees, but also for the communities they have adopted.
