Move into affordable, ready for Occupancy housing at BRIA Homes in Magalang, Pampanga

When the pandemic hit the country, I have been thinking about the safety of those who are not settled yet. Like, having a house of your own is a necessity in these trying times. I have been thinking about settling in a province, now that I am working from home or have a vacation house somewhere in Pampanga. 

 

When a global pandemic wreaks havoc in our lives, when we feel threatened by a deadly but unseen enemy, we naturally seek stability and security where we are sure to find it—at home, with our loved ones. Thus, we hastily retreat into the safety of our homes, a place that we regard as a buffer between us and the chaotic world outside.

 

Filipinos, who are especially known to be protective of their families, will attest to this. Although quarantine restrictions compel us to stay home, there’s really nowhere else we’d rather be. Our homes shelter us, calm our fears, ease our anxieties, give us peace, and empower us to hurdle the challenges engendered by a severe health crisis.

More than six months into the pandemic, Filipinos, especially, heads of families and other breadwinners, have quickly adapted to a digital lifestyle. Most have gone into Work From Home (WFH) mode. Students are bravely coping with the challenges of distance learning. Scores of families are even opting for food and other essential goods delivered by online sellers.

Once again the home is reclaiming its status as the center of every Filipino family’s life. With the distractions of modern living—shopping malls, entertainment and leisure hubs, the night scene—losing their allure, Filipinos are realigning their priorities. Instead of spending their hard-earned money on superficial pursuits, a great majority of them now aspire to invest in affordable house and lot packages located in safe and secure residential communities. 

 

This emerging market is what’s driving top housing developer BRIA Homes to build more projects and make home ownership a reality for all Filipinos. With more than fifty projects already in place across progressive towns and cities in the Philippines, a BRIA home is now considered their ‘home of choice’, not only for their aesthetically designed houses but also for their wholesome and serene communities.

 

For prospective buyers in Central Luzon looking for a quick and easy way to move into brand-new houses, there’s BRIA Homes in Magalang, Pampanga. Touting proximity to both Mabalacat, Pampanga, and Concepcion, Tarlac. It is also just 35 minutes away from Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone which is the center of business, tourism, entertainment and gaming centers of Central Luzon. BRIA Homes Magalang currently offers affordable Ready for Occupancy (RFO) house and lot packages. 

 

Purchasing an RFO house in BRIA Homes Magalang has distinct advantages. Once the paperwork is done and payments are made, one can immediately move into it. BRIA Homes Magalang’s modern amenities like the multi-purpose hall, covered basketball court, and the landscaped garden are already in place, as are the security features like the perimeter fence, guarded entrance and exit, and 24/7 CCTV coverage.

 

Once a member of a BRIA community, homeowners also benefit from its enhanced property management, which has been adapted to the needs of the times. To date, its responsibilities include enforcing government-mandated protocols in all its communities, including regular sanitation, social distancing, and promotion of frequent handwashing among homeowners and staff. 

 

Assured by all this, families can happily settle into their new BRIA home and enjoy the fresh country air and the tranquil setting that mark all BRIA developments. Homemakers can plan the interiors and furnish these according to their needs. 

Finally, a well-built RFO BRIA home also makes for an incredibly smart investment. You can occupy it yourself or have it leased out, creating a steady source of income. 

 

“We understand that the need for housing remains an urgent concern for many Filipinos nationwide,” says Red Rosales, president of BRIA Homes. “With scores of RFO homes available at our developments, we hope to see more Filipino families moving into affordable and comfortable dwellings in as fast a time as possible.” 

 

BRIA Homes is a subsidiary of GOLDEN BRIA Holdings, Inc., one of the largest real estate companies in the country. BRIA Homes is primed to bring quality and affordable house and lot packages and condominium units closer to ordinary Filipino families. This is the goal that drives every single employee in the company, for which the ultimate fulfillment is seeing a client happily moving into BRIA's homes.

Macoy Dubs and Jae Miranda unboxed the new Huawei Y7a

Global tech giant Huawei finally launched the much-anticipated Huawei Y7a smartphone, the brand’s newest entry in its famed Y Series. The Y7a sports a refreshed design and upgraded feature set fit for the trendy lifestyles of today’s youth.

 

An online media event held on October 29, 2020 served as the Huawei Y7a’s official debut, which included guest appearances by a couple of popular social media stars. Macoy Dubs of “Aunt Julie” fame and Jae Miranda AKA “Virtual Boyfriend” regaled the audience with their respective character bits, and discussed their favorite activities using the Huawei Y7a.

 

It’s no surprise that young online personalities like Macoy and Jae love the Y7a, given how Huawei highlights “Y for Youth, Y for You” as the core message behind the new device and the Y Series going forward, focusing particularly on the lifestyles and interests of the younger generation.  

 

A finely-crafted smartphone just for “You”

High-powered camera systems - The Huawei Y7a stands out in its segment solely because of its 48MP AI Quad Cameras, which gives users a superb shooting experience for the price. Each lens - a 48MP high-res camera, an 8MP Ultra-Wide Angle camera, 2MP Macro camera and 2MP Depth camera - works together to produce high-quality images in all scenarios, even having a dedicated Night Mode for capturing exciting moments in dimly-lit environments.

 

Greater battery life - A hefty 5000mAh battery powers all-day binge parties and livestreaming sessions on the Huawei Y7a, boosted by the 22.5W SuperCharge technology that refuels the phone as quick as users need it to - a 10-minute charge is enough for 2 hours of video playback, for instance.

 

Bigger and clearer display - At 6.67 inches, the Huawei Y7a’s FHD+ Display provides a 90% screen-to-body ratio to users’ hands for maximum visual excitement. The phone’s slim frame feels like the display flows into the hand, adding excellent tactile feedback to the vivid screen’s clarity.

 

Large storage and RAM - Flicking between apps seamlessly is easy with the Y7a’s 4GB of RAM, while the generous 128GB of storage means more space for high-res pictures, fun videos and exciting games. 

 

AppGallery: the Boutique Store of apps

 

Exploring the Huawei AppGallery opens up the Huawei Y7a’s incredible potential, with millions of apps populating its selection ranging from entertainment and lifestyle entries to utility and productivity-focused titles. To complement the Y7a and its amazing camera capabilities, there’s a suite of photography and editing tool apps recommended for any shutterbug.

 

 

A rewarding download experience

Revolving around the Y Series’ “Y for Youth, Y for You” theme, the Huawei Y7A (SRP Php 8,999) highlights the younger generation’s unique interests in their digital lifestyles. By offering a well-rounded set of exciting features at an entry-level price point, the Y7a successfully embodies youthful energy bursting with immense potential. #48MPQuadCamForYou #HUAWEIY7aPH #YforYou

To mirror the two-pronged protection that the motor care line brings, VS1 & Mototek together with motoring personalities Rica “Jet Lee” Cabarrubias and Philip “JT” Elliot took to their wheels to show their support for our modern-day heroes as part of the brand’s on-going 2020 purposeful ride campaign.

We also know that motorcycles are the best way to navigate the roads right now because of its efficiency and its capability to outrun the increasing traffic” expressed Assistant Product Manager Alek Barcia.

Last August 7, Elliot donated face masks and face shields to Los Banos Doctors Hospital and Medical Center and exchanged quarantine stories with the hospital’s cardio technician, Jena Crisologo, and security guard, Jamal Navarete. 

 

“It’s a very meaningful day, a very meaningful vlog. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam to reach out and makipagkwentuhan sa mga frontliners natin,” shared Elliot.

Moms Anne Curtis and Rufa Mae Urge Parents That Teaching Kids About #SafeWash Begins at Home with Safeguard

It was in late September when the Philippine Handwashing Survey results showed that only 50% of Filipinos wash their hands properly. This “puwede na” mentality in handwashing prompted Safeguard to create the #SafeWash Movement by calling out all the ways Filipinos are not properly washing their hands. Safeguard collaborated with five of the top animation houses in the Philippines to produce a mass education video in a span of three weeks. The catchy rap song was also voiced by Gloc-9, the nation’s #1 rapper. 

Thousands of Filipinos have also tuned in to show massive support for Safeguard at the #SafeWash Raprapan sa Global Handwashing Day that went live online last October 15, 2020. In the event, Fred D’ Germ bitterly accepted his defeat with the outpouring of comments from Safeguard fans. Through presenting the message in pop culture themes, Safeguard aims to reach more Filipinos to show how proper handwashing is done. Watch the video here.

Just like the hundreds of thousands of Filipinos that witnessed the unfolding of the #SafeWash movement, Mommy Rufa also had her own takeaways. “I’ve learned a lot from #SafeWash. Akala ko dati punas-punas lang ok na. ‘Di ba pag may nahulog, punas lang pwede pa daw kainin ulit? ‘Di pala ganon kasi malakas ang kapit ni Fred D’ Germ kaya i-todo ang handwash palagi.”

“The biggest takeaway is definitely changing the way we wash our hands. We all have our own habits and it may not be the right way of washing our hands to make sure our family is properly protected.” Mommy Anne Curtis expressed that her family’s handwashing habits have rapidly changed as well. She continues, “As soon as I come home, I go straight to the sink to wash my hands and I really scrub between my fingers properly to make sure that I am removing all the germs I possibly can and using the 20 second rule.”

Safeguard was also invited by the Department of Health and UNICEF to share the #SafeWash movement at the recent Global Handwashing Day Symposium on October 16, 2020. The brand shared the roots of the #SafeWash movement and how the brand is also partnering with institutions to ensure that the push on handwashing education is enabled by ensuring there is access to hand washing facilities.

Filipinos Pledge to Practice #SafeWash Habits

Continuing what started as a battle cry against hand hygiene misinformation, celebrities, online personalities, and numerous communities have shared and posted videos — spreading support for the #SafeWash movement.

Mommy Rufa Mae Quinto shares to other moms her golden rule for handwashing. “My gogogolden rule is wash to the highest level. ‘Di pwede yung nagmamadali ipupunas kung saan lalo na sa katawan natin kasi kunakalat lang ang germs. Itodo ang safe wash! Wash wash always in all ways with Rufa Mae”. Like mommy Rufa, many Filipino parents are also being more creative and expressive when teaching their children, the proper handwashing way.

This is just the start for Safeguard’s #SafeWash Movement, and it’s here to stay with the brand’s commitment to strengthen proper handwashing education.

After being presented the repercussions of improper handwashing, we must all do our part to keep ourselves and our families from germs. The safe wash way doesn’t stop within our homes but should be done even when we are in public spaces. Let us keep reminding our loved ones, share videos, and post online to help spread the word on the safe wash way of handwashing. The safety of families lies on how attentive parents can be in reminding them to wash their hands.

“Always have soap available and try to instill that habit of washing their hands for at least 20 seconds or even longer if possible.” Mommy Anne reminds parents as a precaution from the threats of illness causing germs.

The #SafeWash Movement starts with every Filipino family in their own homes, keeping their loved ones from committing the improper handwashing habits as promoted by Fred D’ Germ. Through Safeguard’s power to eliminate 99.9% of germs, and correct handwashing practices, every trip to the sink is a guaranteed #SafeWash for a #SAFEPhilippines.
