As the campaign enters its final stretch, everyday city spaces across Metro Manila continue to transform into fan-powered destinations, with large-scale placements along EDSA and LRT stations turning YUNA sightings into exciting, shareable moments.

Running from April 23 to May 31, with winners set to be announced on June 4, the campaign invites fans to spot YUNA on Infinix NOTE 60 Pro out-of-home advertisements, capture creative photos, and share them online for a chance to win their own NOTE 60 Pro. What began as a city-wide activation has grown into a community-driven movement fueled by fan participation across the metro.

The campaign has also caught the attention of content creators and personalities who joined the experience firsthand. Lifestyle and travel content creator Ashanti Bandillo, known for her K-pop-inspired content, made a stop at the massive Primex building installation along the busy stretch of EDSA, proving that even city traffic becomes a little more exciting when YUNA is impossible to miss. Her visit added even more energy to the growing online buzz surrounding the campaign, further highlighting how “Take NOTE of Yuna” continues to blend fandom, creativity, and real-world engagement into one interactive fan experience.

Selfies and creative angles are highly encouraged. Entries must be posted publicly on Facebook with the hashtags #SpotNOTE60Pro, #TakeNOTEofYUNA, and #NOTE60Pro. Participants must also include a short caption stating where the advertisement was spotted, tag @InfinixPhilippines and at least one friend, and join the official Infinix Facebook community group. Multiple entries are allowed, provided each submission features a different advertisement.

By transforming city-wide advertisements into interactive fan touchpoints, Infinix continues to bridge digital fandom with real-world experiences, turning everyday commutes and city landmarks into moments of discovery and connection.

With the deadline fast approaching, fans are encouraged to submit their final entries before May 31. As “Take NOTE of Yuna” enters its closing days, Infinix reminds fans that every spot, snap, and post brings them one step closer to owning the NOTE 60 Pro and becoming part of the growing movement surrounding the campaign.

Emergency Preparedness Starts at Home: Keep Important Numbers Within Reach

 Emergency preparedness begins at home. Beyond keeping basic supplies such as food, water, medicine, flashlights, and batteries, every household should also have a clear communication plan in case of an emergency. 

This includes knowing whom to call, keeping important emergency numbers visible, and ensuring family members have an accessible way to contact emergency hotlines, barangays, hospitals, relatives, or first responders when needed.

As families use different ways to stay connected every day, having a dedicated home phone line can be part of a household’s broader emergency preparedness plan. A landline gives family members, including children, seniors, and household helpers, a fixed and familiar way to contact emergency hotlines, barangays, hospitals, relatives, and first responders when urgent assistance is needed. More importantly, it helps give families added peace of mind at home, knowing that there is an accessible way to call for help when it matters most.

It also serves as an additional communication option at home, especially when family members need to quickly coordinate during an emergency.

Keep emergency numbers visible at home

A prepared household does not only know how to call for help. It also knows who to call.

Families are encouraged to keep a list of important emergency numbers in a visible and accessible area, such as beside the landline, on the refrigerator, near the main door, or in the family emergency kit. This helps ensure that anyone at home can act quickly, even under pressure.

Here are some important emergency numbers Filipino families may keep on hand:

● National Emergency Hotline: 911
● Philippine National Police: 117 / (02) 8722-0650
● Philippine Red Cross: 143
● MMDA Hotline: 136
● Bureau of Fire Protection: Check the nearest local fire station or local government emergency hotline in your area. 
● Barangay / City / Municipal Emergency Hotline: Keep local emergency numbers updated and visible at home. 

The Philippine Information Agency also reported that the Unified 911 Emergency Hotline handled more than 5.2 million calls from January to April 2026, showing how vital emergency hotlines have become for Filipinos during urgent situations.

Make emergency calling easier for everyone at home

To help households stay prepared, families may also consider the following:

1. Post 911 and other emergency numbers where everyone can see them. Place 911 prominently at the top of the list, followed by other important emergency numbers such as the local barangay, city rescue, fire station, hospital, and police hotlines. Keep the list beside the telephone, on the refrigerator, or in common areas where anyone at home can easily find it.
2. Teach children and seniors how to call for help. Make sure they know when to call 911, how to state their name, location, and the nature of the emergency, and who else  inthe family to contact
3. Save local numbers, not just national hotlines. Barangay, city, municipal, hospital, and local rescue numbers can be reached more quickly and be more relevant depending on the situation.
4. Include communication in the family emergency plan. Aside from food, water, flashlights, and medicine, families should also prepare reliable ways to call for help and contact loved ones.

Emergency preparedness is not about relying on only one way to stay connected. It is about ensuring households have clear, accessible, and dependable ways to call for help, stay informed, and respond quickly.

Through its connectivity solutions, PLDT Home supports Filipino families in building safer and more connected homes. With fiber internet plans bundled with a landline phone, households can maintain a dedicated home communication line that supports everyday connection and emergency preparedness.

TESDA Center Administrator Mr. Eugene P. Agcaoili expressed, “We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to TCL for partnering with RTC-NCR to make this training possible. This collaboration is a strong example of what public-private partnerships can achieve. Creating meaningful opportunities for skills development and contributing to the growth and competitiveness of the Filipino workforce.”

From Skills to Success

The second installment of the TCL Training Program successfully hosted twenty-five (25) motivated trainees at the dedicated TCL-TESDA Center, located within the flagship TESDA RTC-NCR facility. Over the course of three days, the curriculum was strategically divided into two key categories: lecture and hands-on training. Each session combined comprehensive technical lecture with intensive hands-on training, covering the essential pillars of installation, repair, and maintenance.

 

The program was further enriched by the presence of the TCL Product and Service teams, who shared their deep expertise and practical insights directly with the participants.

Students under TCL’s Air Conditioning Training Program gained hands-on experience as they worked on TCL split-type air conditioning units during their practical learning sessions.

 

To further strengthen its enrollment-to-employment initiative, TCL connected students aspiring to become technicians or future TCL dealers with its internal team and authorized dealers, creating pathways to potential employment and business opportunities.

 

The training program extended beyond standard maintenance to focus on the specialized functions and technical specifications that define TCL products. A core component of the training included practical sessions on TCL’s smart technology, such as the TCL Home App and Voice Command features. By mastering these proprietary innovations, learners are better equipped to service modern, connected households that set TCL apart from other brands.

 

TCL partner B2B dealer Firstar, led by Pika Lee, also attended the three-day training session to announce the learner profiling initiative scheduled on the final day. By the third day, the program transitioned into a formal evaluation and mini job fair, offering the learners  a unique platform for professional assessment. This initiative aimed to pinpoint high-potential individuals and open doors for long-term employment.

 

The program culminated in a certificate awarding ceremony, marking the learners' official transition into the workforce. This certification validates their newly acquired mastery of TCL technology and serves as a direct pathway to career opportunities at different authorized service centers nationwide.

 

“At TCL, we are dedicated to investing in the people who keep the industry moving. It’s been a privilege to support the upskilling of our Filipino technicians through this program. While this session has ended, our commitment has not — stay tuned for even more training opportunities as we continue to inspire greatness and build the future of technical excellence together,”  Cernitchez exclaims.
