Sustainable Projects Shine: Introducing the New Winners of the LG Ambassador Challenge

LG captures lightning in a bottle once again as it recently concluded its LG Ambassador Challenge, which saw dozens of project proposals from across the nation. The contest was first introduced in partnership with Korea Friends of Hope International (KFHI) and serves as a testament to LG's dedication towards fostering sustainable development within the Philippines' local communities. For its second year, the winning proposals are ‘Life is Good, When Life Has Light’, ‘Flowing Water for Growing Future’, and ‘Paliparan Community Livelihood’.

LG Philippines Managing Director Mr. Sungjae Kim, with Korean Friends of Hope International (KFHI) Country Manager Mr. Taeho Lee and Mr. Soonchang Hong, Minister and Consul General of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea awards the winners of the 2023 LG Ambassador Challenge.

‘Life is Good, When Life Has Light’ is a program spearheaded by the Our Daily Bread Community-Dayap Church. The community, based in Calauan, Laguna, is a relocation site provided by the government after typhoon Ondoy. In the barangay, streetlights are practically absent, which makes it a dangerous place come night time, both for pedestrians and drivers alike. To address the problem, solar-powered street lights will be established throughout the dark places inside the relocation area. This goal will help people feel safe, reduce crime, conserve energy, make streets clearly visible in order to promote safety and convenience, and to have safer, comfortable, more convenient, and more efficient movement of vehicles during nighttime.

Another winning proposal is ‘Flowing Water for Growing Future’ by Myla Cabaluna. The project tackles water access in the community of Lawaguin. Because of the lack of an efficient water supply, locals have to resort to washing clothes and dishes, and even bathing by the road. To address the situation, the initiative plans on installing a solar-powered water pump that will deliver a clean and consistent water supply to the community. 

The third winner for this year’s LG Ambassador Challenge is the Paliparan Community Livelihood Project by Bong Rho Yoon.  The proposal aims to alleviate the livelihood of the community living in Paliparan, a dense barangay of over 100,000 people, most of which are urban poor. There are approximately 1,000 families living in the area with over 50% of the households’ main income coming from construction work. To help alleviate their situation, the livelihood project aims to introduce sewing to add job diversification. The vocational training education hopes to increase employment and add a stable source of income for households.

LG Philippines Managing Director Mr. Sungjae Kim was impressed with the proposed programs of this year’s crop of winners. “We at LG are proud to be a part of these helpful and inventive initiatives. Our brand is always committed to sustainability and leaving a positive impact in the community. These programs, spearheaded by our LG Ambassador Challenge winners, offer great strides to deliver sustainable growth to local communities. We stand hand in hand with them to help realize their vision.” Also present during the awarding ceremonies were Mr. Soonchang Hong, Minister and Consul General of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea and Mr. Taeho Lee, Country Manager of the Korean Friends of Hope International (KFHI). KFHI is the international cooperation organization working to build international solidarity between Koreans and people around the world.

Offering a one-stop shop for all food and essential needs, pandamart is foodpanda’s online grocery store which offers a wide assortment of fresh, frozen, snacks, drinks, pantry essentials, pharmaceuticals, and other household items to be delivered to your doorsteps in less than an hour. However, pandamart does not have a physical store open to the public but only serves consumers who buy from the foodpanda app. 

 

To allow shoppers to fully immerse in the pandamart shopping experience, the new pandamart Pop-Up store, located in Trinoma Mall in Quezon City, will allow them to browse through the displayed products in the kiosk, order conveniently in the foodpanda app, and pick up the items on the same day. 

 

“The online grocery space is ever-growing and ever-changing, so to keep up with the current times, we are stepping up our game in offering a wide selection of quality groceries to customers,” said Danielle Eleazar, Head of Marketing (New Verticals) of foodpanda Philippines. 

Eleazer added that despite online grocery shopping becoming increasingly popular, grocery consumers, in general, still prefer to experience the quality of their items physically.“pandamart addresses this limitation by launching our first local physical pop-up store where consumers can physically experience the items sold in pandamart.”

Special treat for pandamart shoppers

 

Exciting activities and exclusive promos await our shoppers, including discount vouchers, item giveaways from brand partners and entertaining spin-the-wheel games with a chance to win prizes. 

 

Additional vouchers and prizes of up to Php 10,000 will be given away to audiences who will tune in to the special Facebook live stream online selling event on May 27. This will also feature the pandamart pop-up store look, available products, amazing deals, and how to order. 

 

Shop like a panda

As foodpanda offers a leveled-up experience to consumers with the first local pandamart pop-up store, the online food and grocery platform is also bridging the gap between the usage of online and offline channels when it comes to grocery shopping for its app users. 

This also underscores the objective of the company’s brand philosophy, which encourages people to live like a panda and allows for more time to do more important things in their daily routines. “By having the convenience of picking up the items after looking at the items first hand and checking out the order in the app, they can have more time to roam around the area or run other errands while waiting for their order.”

 

“We want to bring even more awareness to our online grocery service so that new and existing foodpanda app users can try out the fast and convenient delivery of pandamart’s wide assortment of items and fresh quality products.” 

 

Available until the end of May, pandamart’s pop-up store provides impressive features to give shoppers and consumers a first-hand experience of what pandamart has to offer. So head to Trinoma Mall to enjoy groceries done right, with exclusive deals and exciting prizes.
