With captivating colors that come with the latest design of the Galaxy A24 LTE: Awesome Lime and Awesome Graphite, it’s no cap that Samsung understood the assignment as it hits all the different personalities of Gen Zers– from the Y2K movement, the baddie branding to Danish pastel aesthetic. 

The funky, lustrous, fearless and trendsetter Awesome Lime 

 

If you love pastel or funky colors – basically a member of the Y2K movement and have GRWM to high fashion videos on your watch history, Awesome Lime will definitely suit your personality. Aside from its vibrant hue, the Galaxy A24 LTE’s glossy finish and prism pattern back cover also hosts its well-crafted camera deck.

 

The baddie, mysterious and unapologetic Awesome Graphite

 

The iconic and timeless color Awesome Graphite always gravitates to someone bold, edgy, minimalist, quiet and unapologetic. And if you’re that Gen Z type who loves to embody classic fashion, Awesome Graphite will impeccably blend with your daily fit check. 

 

Matching your minimalist or dark Instagram aesthetic, the Samsung Galaxy A24 LTE is sleek and sophisticated, thanks to the optimized ratio between the corner and camera modules - and the absence of a camera housing is right out of the peak Galaxy S series design playbook. 

 

The Galaxy A24 LTE also sports an upgraded awesome display - from last season’s LCD display, the Galaxy A24 LTE now has a 6.5-inch Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and Super AMOLED so you can see crystal clear and crisp graphics when watching your piled-up TikTok and YouTube videos or playing mobile games with the squad. 

 

Striking your daily fit is so snatched at every shot and any angle with the improved 13-MP selfie camera, 5-megapixel ultra-wide, 50MP OIS Main Camera, 2-MP Macro and the new 2-MP depth that delivers stunning and more focused images and videos.

 

With a Mediatek 6789 processor that supports higher memory bandwidth, the Galaxy A24 LTE offers you enough speed and power to capture and display all the awesome happenings with friends in cafes, park picnics, 1v1 and 4v4 gameplays, or getaways this summer.

 

The increased memory compared to the previous Galaxy A23 LTE – from 6GB, it now packs 8GB memory and a storage of 128GB as well as a Micro SD card slot - is another huge plus as you now have more room for your Pinterest-like content and fashion style. 

 

Be among the first to avail of the awesome phone designed to keep up with your Gen Z lifestyle for a pocket-friendly price of only PHP 14,990!

COVID-19 omicron subvariant “Arcturus” XB.1.16 is found to be more contagious than other COVID variants

According to the Department of Health, COVID-19 omicron subvariant “Arcturus” XB.1.16 could evade immunity and is found to be more contagious than other COVID variants. The World Health Organization also labeled the variant as a “variant of interest,” which means it’s under close observation. 

 

According to the World Health Organization, one of the most universally recognized methods to help prevent the transmission of diseases is through practicing good hygiene, particularly regular handwashing. Proper handwashing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds can eliminate various pathogens, including viruses and bacteria, from our hands.

 

Procter & Gamble (P&G) Philippines, the multinational consumer goods company with a diverse range of superior health care, home care, beauty, and grooming products, through its partnership with the Manila Water Foundation (MWF) and Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) donated Safeguard products to 12 public hospitals in Metro Manila. 

The donation is part of the Maging Ligtas, Mag-#SAFEWASH program which aims to raise awareness of the importance of sanitation and the healthy habits of proper toothbrushing and proper hand washing. 

 

The P&G Safeguard hygiene products will be used in the hospital washrooms and hand washing areas of the hospital compound. The donated products will also protect the front liners: nurses, hospital staff, and doctors who deliver critical health care services. The recipients of the P&G hygiene products are Antipolo City Hospital – System Annex 3, Amang Rodriguez Memorial Medical Center in Marikina, East Avenue Medical Center in Quezon City and Mandaluyong City Medical Center, Ospital ng Makati, The Pasig City General Hospital, Pedro Gil Lying-in Center in Manila, Philippine Blood Center in Quezon City, Philippine General Hospital, San Juan Medical Center, Sta. Ana Hospital – Manila, and the Taguig Pateros District Hospital.

Philippine General Hospital representative Niña Zabal said the donation will be a big help to the PGH community, especially the patient and health workers who are most in need of protection amidst the increase of the positivity rate of COVID-19 cases in the Philippines. 

 

P&G is a consistent nation-building partner of the Philippines through its business, investments, and superior products that promote health and hygiene. The Company’s partnership with MWF has helped educate underserved Filipino communities on the importance of hand hygiene to our overall health. Most recently, P&G in partnership with MWF donated Safeguard Handsoaps to LRT2 commuters.

Here’s a peek at how three of EastWest’s mom leaders have managed to both climb the corporate ladder and raise a happy family

There’s something about women that enables them to take on the challenge of having a career and family life at the same time. Women—especially mom leaders who play important roles in the companies they work for—possess an inner strength and the sheer determination to be happy and successful both at work and at home.

While all women are definitely valid, professionals who are also moms certainly have a more challenging time, as they need to juggle homemaking and having an active career. These mom leaders thrive because of their solid support system, such as the one they get from working at a supportive organization like EastWest. 

To illustrate their success, here’s a peek at how three of EastWest’s mom leaders have managed to both climb the corporate ladder and raise a happy family.

Jackie S. Fernandez, EastWest President

Jackie, who has been married for 35 years with four children and three grandchildren, is grateful that her bosses over the years have allowed her to attend her children’s school activities. She stressed that working for a company like EastWest that puts a premium on the family is also a big help to working moms.

“I had very understanding bosses who would allow me to skip work to attend to my children’s needs at school. I guess spending quality time with my husband and kids and instilling the right values also helped along the way,” she said.

When asked if there was a time that she had to choose between her family and her career, Jackie said she was never caught in such a situation because she was able to monitor the progress of her children while keeping abreast of work and making a mark in the bank. 

“Always remember that your children will grow up, and if keeping your career will have a positive effect on your family, you have to do a good balancing job between your family and career,” Jackie said.

Ivy B. Uy, SVP and Head Regional Branch Banking

Just like any working executive, Ivy wanted to achieve a greater balance between her work and personal life, so that the office doesn’t take up most of her time. However, the term work-life balance can be misleading because her career and personal life do not always exist in separate spheres.

 “For me, work is simply one aspect of our lives. It’s important and needs to be considered alongside other important concerns, such as our home and family lives. We do not have to choose one over the other to be happy and fulfilled, and we should be able to integrate our personal time and work. This will help us manage our time better,” she related.

Establishing boundaries is a crucial part of time management, and communicating these boundaries is equally important. 

“It may sound easy, only because I have a very good support system both from my family at home and my work family. It is also easier to manage my time now as both of my children are grown up and have their own careers as well,” Ivy added.

Mia P. Tamayo, SVP and Head, Credit Cards 

Mia is happy with having four daughters, teaching them to be independent and to go for what they want, all without compromising their studies.

She happily shared that she managed to attend all her daughters’ significant school events without diminishing her work output. “Family will always be a priority,” she said, citing that it truly helped that she also has a husband who supported her career.

Out of her four children, Mia said it is her youngest daughter who took up most of her time as she has Down Syndrome and is hearing impaired, leaving her unable to communicate.

“Down Syndrome babies are generally easy to deal with. It took extra effort because she could not hear, but healthwise she is good and well-loved by her family. It is truly a blessing because she will always be with me,” Mia said.

“What really worked for me is that I loved what I was doing. It’s really about enjoying your work and the people you work with so that it does not feel like work. It is easier said than done but you have to balance. The family must always come first,” she said.

These three exceptional moms of EastWest have set the bar for all women looking to balance their career and family lives. With a supportive network and a work environment that values family, they have successfully navigated both work and home. They have set the standards for future mom leaders and have paved the way for a more inclusive and supportive workplace culture.
