Both brands are well-aligned in our values to set new standards in both technological innovation and competitive performance. This year, as we extend to both Philippines and Malaysia, we hope to do more to grow together and cement our position as a leading platform of opportunities for aspirants,” said Jayf Soh, CEO and Founder of RSG.  

 

Pulse Nova Entertainment, a full-service gaming entertainment marketing agency and the exclusive rights-holders of RSG’s players, partnerships and sponsorships, worked closely with the two brands to develop the partnership. "We're thrilled to unite industry giants, TECNO and RSG, in elevating esports. With TECNO's support, we aim to break new frontiers through the introduction of meaningful partnerships to mobilize gamers worldwide,” said Cindy Lim, Head of Sales, Pulse Nova Entertainment.

 

RSG Teams to Showcase Gaming Excellence and Innovation

 

RSG Philippines and RSG Malaysia players will don TECNO’s logo on their jerseys as they prepare for the upcoming MPL PH and MPL MY Season 13 tournaments. TECNO will support the teams’ efforts in gearing up to set new standards in the esports arenas.

Singapore Cable Car Unveils the World's First SkyOrb

Today, Mount Faber Leisure Group officially launched the new futuristic SkyOrb Cabins on the Singapore Cable Car – Mount Faber Line. The launch of the SkyOrb Cabins took place at Mount Faber Peak, as part of the Singapore Cable Car’s 50th anniversary celebrations. The event was attended by Mr Bob Tan, Chairman of Sentosa Development Corporation and Ms Thien Kwee Eng, Chief Executive Officer of Sentosa Development Corporation, as well as Mr Michael Syn, Chairman of Mount Faber Leisure Group and Mr Buhdy Bok, Managing Director of Mount Faber Leisure Group.

Singapore Cable Car’s SkyOrb Cabin Takes Its Maiden Flight on 15 March 2024

SkyOrb Cabins – A cabin like no other in the world

 

Exclusively designed for the Singapore Cable Car, the SkyOrb Cabin is the world's first chrome-finished spherical cable car cabin. Unlike conventional cabins, the spherical design of the SkyOrb Cabins breaks the boundaries of traditional cable car aesthetics, offering a futuristic and captivating look.

The SkyOrb cabin boasts a spectacular view through its glass-bottomed floor

 

Fitted with glass-bottomed floors to allow guests to view the scenery below their feet, the new cabins offer guests an elevated journey with a stunning panoramic view of the skyline. As night falls, a captivating ring of lights surrounds the cabin windows, casting an illuminating glow that imparts a distinctly futuristic ambience. 

 

The SkyOrb Cabins have been thoughtfully designed with double window louvres at the front and triple window louvres at the rear, providing enhanced air ventilation for guests on board. To offer an exclusive experience, only seven SkyOrb Cabins will join the existing fleet, enriching the vibrancy of the Sentosa skyline. 

 

“Each SkyOrb cabin, a gleaming chrome orb soaring through the sky, embodies modern design. These cabins offer guests a one-of-a-kind experience, taking them on a discovery between Mount Faber Peak and Sentosa, unveiling breathtaking views along the way,” said Mr Buhdy Bok, Managing Director of Mount Faber Leisure Group.

 

Collaboratively designed between Mount Faber Leisure Group and renowned cable car cabin manufacturer CWA, the SkyOrb Cabins showcase product innovation and commitment to creating new unique experiences for guests. Based in Olten, Switzerland, CWA has enjoyed a long partnership with Mount Faber Leisure Group since the first generation of the Singapore Cable Car cabins was launched in 1974.

 

The SkyOrb Cabins will be open for guests to experience from 20 March 2024 and tickets will be available for sale at the Singapore Cable Car Mount Faber and Sentosa Station ticketing counters from the same day. Mount Faber Line and Cable Car Sky Pass ticket holders have the privilege of upgrading one-way of their round trip (between Mount Faber and Sentosa Cable Car Stations) to a SkyOrb Cabin experience. This upgrade costs $15 per person on weekdays, and $20 per person on weekends and Public Holidays.

Grab's Capacity-Building Program Empowers Women Behind the Wheel, Renewing Confidence

Determined to build up the confidence of its women driver- and delivery-partners in offering ride-hailing and delivery services, Grab Philippines has rolled out a vigorous capacity-building program covering key competencies required in the industry. This initiative is a key pillar of the Women Program under Grab’s social upliftment campaign GrabAsenso. 

Grab works with various agencies and organizations for its women-first capacity-building programs

 

Through its active discussions with women driver leaders and women driver communities, Grab Philippines has discovered that among the leading reasons why women feel discouraged from pursuing a career in transportation and deliveries is the mindset that driving is not suitable for them. There is also a lack of confidence in their capability to manage challenging situations like irate passenger handling, vehicle breakdowns, and safety. 

 

In line with this, the leading superapp has fortified its partnership with agencies and organizations like the  Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), Philippine Red Cross (PRC), and the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) to design and implement a comprehensive capacity-building program dedicated to female drivers. This is geared at uplifting the confidence of every current and potential Ate Grab in plying roads daily. 

Grab Philippines and the Philippine Commission on Women held a lunch and learn session with women driver-partners on the Safe Spaces Act

 

On 21 March 2024, Grab women drivers attended a Safe Spaces Training with PCW. PCW speaker Danielle Alexandria Anteola delved into the Safe Spaces Act and how it protects women and ensures justice for misconduct against them. “Efforts such as this lunch and learn session by Grab are critical in making sure that more Filipinas know what the Safe Spaces Act is, and how they can co-create harassment-free and discrimination-free environments as enshrined in the law. We commend Grab for joining the campaign for safe spaces for all our kababayans – a step forward to a more inclusive society,” Anteola shares. 

 

Grab Philippines Head of Operations CJ Lacsican underscores the company’s full dedication to enriching the diversity, inclusivity, and equality within the Grab driver- and rider- network. “The digital economy brings viable opportunities for everyone, intensifying the hope and capability of our kababayans to attain their aspirations. As a leader in ride-hailing and on-demand deliveries, we aim to lift more Filipinos to help them capitalize on these opportunities. Every Filipino wanting to better their life should be able to do so without doubts about their safety, skills, or even fears of gender-based discrimination. These are barriers that we relentlessly try to break down at Grab – for every Ate wishing to join our platform.”

 

On its part, Grab touts a slew of technological features that ensure its women driver- and delivery-partners are safe and protected:

 

●      Women Passengers Preferred Toggle: Activated last February 2024, this new feature gives our Ate Grab driver the option to prioritize the matching with female passengers.

 

●      Emergency Assistance Button: This feature allows driver-partners to readily access law enforcement when in distress with just a few simple taps.

 

            

●      Trip Monitoring: This feature enables Grab to track atypical stops and routing taken by driver-partners, consequently encouraging them to contact law enforcement or medical teams if needed. Through Trip Monitoring, Grab is also able to make proactive calls to drivers and passengers to check on their wellbeing. 

 

 

●      Share Live Location: For a worry-free ride, driver-partners can share a tracking link to their loved ones and colleagues showing their live location as they fulfill a ride. 

 

Grab has also produced e-learning content for its women driver-partners through Grab Academy, which is an online learning platform exclusive to Grab partners. Courses on passenger handling, road safety, and vehicle maintenance can be easily accessed by partners at their preferred time and pace.
