Datu Puti Mukhasim Nation World Record Day!

Datu Puti just kicked off 2021 by making history in setting a new Guinness World Records title for the most people dipping food into vinegar online simultaneously. 

 

On January 24, the brand hosted a large-scale online meeting via Zoom, dubbed as the Datu Puti Mukhasim Nation World Record Day, where nearly 200 “Ka-Datus” joined the attempt to set a new Guinness World Records title. Hosted by Sam YG, the official title attempt was led by Datu Puti’s celebrity Sukambassadors Tita Krissy Achino, Eric “Eruption” Tai, and Maymay Entrata. 

 

Participants were divided into six Tribo Breakout Rooms, namely Tribo Sukang Puti facilitated by JC Tevez, Tribo Sukang Sinamak with Maymay Entrata and Cara Eriguel, Tribo Pinoy Spice headed by Eric “Eruption” Tai, Tribo Sukang Tagalog with Tita Krissy Achino, Tribo Sukang Iloko with Show Suzuki, and Tribo Spiced Vinegar led by Nikki Viola. 

Nearly 200 participants simultaneously dipped their food into Datu Puti Vinegar at the sound of the SAWSAW Signal which signified the start of the Official Guinness World Records™ Attempt.

  

The breakout rooms ensured that Guinness World Records official adjudicator Brian Sobel, who joined the call all the way from Australia, and six other independent witnesses were able to monitor and check if all the guidelines of the attempt were followed. 

 

At the sound of the Sawsaw Signal, all Ka-Datus and Sukambassadors simultaneously showed their best “Sawsaw-Tikim-Mukhasim” move on camera. Participants simultaneously dipped their choice of food into their favorite Datu Puti Vinegar before tasting its naturally fermented goodness that brings out the best Mukhasim reaction. 

 

As the undisputed leading vinegar brand in the country since 1975, Datu Puti has consistently provided a satisfying nuot-asim sarap that makes great-tasting dishes a lot more enjoyable. Also known as the pambansang suka, Datu Puti now comes in five distinctly Filipino flavors that celebrate the diversity of our cuisine and culture: Datu Puti Sukang Sinamak, Datu Puti Sukang Iloko, Datu Puti Sukang Tagalog, Datu Puti Pinoy Spice, and the classic Datu Puti White Vinegar.

 

Guinness World Records adjudicator Brian Sobel congratulated all Ka-Datus for participating in the historic event, which was also witnessed live by thousands of viewers through the Datu Puti Facebook Page. 

 

“After a thorough review of all the footage from the Datu Puti Mukhasim Nation World Record Day, which took place on January 24, I am very happy and proud to announce that you have managed to set a new Guinness World Records title of the most people dipping food into vinegar online simultaneously. I congratulate Datu Puti and all the Ka-Datus for this ‘officially amazing’ feat. I hope that this new record will not only make Datu Puti and the Ka-Datu’s proud of their achievement, but also help inspire more people in your country and all over the world to explore their own limitless possibilities.” said Sobel.

 

Not only is this feat remarkable for gathering a large number of participants online, but also because of its symbolism. At a time when we are unable to gather physically, the Filipino resilience shines through by finding ways and means to celebrate as a community, even at a distance.

 

The Datu Puti Mukhasim Nation World Record Day was led by host Sam YG, SukAmbassadors Tita Krissy Achino, Eric “Eruption” Tai, and Maymay Entrata, and Ka-Datu Facilitators JC Tevez, Nikki Viola, Show Suzuki and Cara Eriguel.

  

 

Participants were divided into six Tribo Breakout Rooms namely Tribo Sukang Puti, Tribo Sukang Sinamak, Tribo Pinoy Spice, Tribo Sukang Tagalog, Tribo Sukang Iloko, and Tribo Spiced Vinegar. This is to ensure that everyone is seen during the Official Guinness World Records Attempt.

  

Why real estate makes a great investment choice for OFWs

Its every OFWs dream to have a house for their loved ones. A place that they could call their own. Investing in a real estate today is a worthwhile investment because properties appreciates as time goes by. 

Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) are considered the country’s modern-day heroes for a reason. They travel to distant places to work incredibly difficult jobs just to be able to make life better for their loved ones. As they toil abroad, OFWs forego the joy of seeing their children grow and endure heart-rending loneliness most of the time. 

It doesn’t end there. As OFWs send their dollar remittances to their families, they help keep the Philippine economy afloat. These hardworking Filipinos—ranging from medical frontliners to domestic workers—have consistently sent billions of pesos back home. Based on a report, in just 11 months they are able to send back 30 billion dollars,spurring growth in their local economies in the process.It’s clear that OFWs have considerable spending power and many of them are now seeking wise and stable investments that can support them moving forward.

To this end, there are few better opportunities than those found in real estate. Due to the effects of the pandemic, property prices have been frozen for a significant period of time. This means that it is better to invest in real estate now, as it promises considerable return of investment down the road.

And for lucrative property investments, one of the best options is BRIA Homes.

For one, with BRIA Homes’ multiple locations nationwide, OFWs can choose to invest in a comfortable house close to their provincial hometown,a prospect that especially appeals to our kababayans who have been away for the longest time. Imagine OFWs coming home to roost once more and enjoy their retirement in familiar surroundings.

Finally, a BRIA home can also serve as a permanent residence for OFWs’ families back in the Philippines. OFWs can be assured of their loved ones’ security as the latter lead full lives in beautiful homes situated in the BRIA project of their choice. BRIA’s wholesome and thriving communities feature a wide array of recreational facilities such as multipurpose halls, covered basketball courts, open spaces, and children’s playgrounds.

BRIA communities are also fully secured by perimeter fences, guarded ‘entrances and exits’, 24/7 CCTV coverage, and eco-friendly solar lights that keep the streets illuminated at night.

Huawei released its Global Connectivity Index (GCI) 2020

Huawei released its Global Connectivity Index (GCI) 2020, the seventh annual GCI report the company has published. For the first time in a GCI report, the 2020 release proposed five key stages of industry digital transformation: task efficiency, functional efficiency, system efficiency, organizational efficiency and agility, and ecosystem efficiency and resilience.

A key finding of the GCI 2020 is that the digital transformation of industries will help countries increase productivity, spur economic recovery, and develop future competitiveness. GCI research has suggested that economies which could increase productivity and go digital with intelligent connectivity generally enjoy higher gross value added (GVA) per worker or per hour worked.

Starters are proactively narrowing the gap with leading economies.

This report has analyzed the changes of each country's GCI score since 2015. The average scores of Frontrunner, Adopter, and Starter economies have all increased since 2015, with Starters showing the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) followed by Adopters and then Frontrunners. This suggests that Starters are catching up with Adopters and Frontrunners and narrowing the digital gaps.

The 2020 report has also shown that Starters have made significant progress in broadband coverage. Their average mobile broadband penetration went up by more than 2.5 times, their 4G subscriptions went from 1% to 19%, and their mobile broadband became 25% more affordable. These achievements have enabled Starters to offer better comprehensive digital services and embrace new opportunities in economic development. In addition, their e-commerce expenditure has almost doubled since 2014 to over US$2,000 per person. Some Starters were moving up the GCI cluster, increased their GCI scores by up to 17%, and managed to raise GDP to a level that was 22% higher than some peers. Vietnam and Peru have both become Adopter economies in 2020.

 

Organizations in Frontrunner countries want to maintain IT expenditure

Research shows that the willingness of companies to invest in IT varies depending on where they are based. Organizations in Frontrunner and Adopter nations are prioritizing maintaining their IT budgets over non-IT budgets. They have also cut their IT budgets by 2.5 to 3.5 times less than organizations in other countries on average. Nations with more mature digital infrastructure are better positioned to minimize the economic impact of the pandemic, recover faster, and ensure the continuity of their transformation into higher-order productivity models.

The digital transformation of economic sectors will help economies develop “higher-order” productivity to spur economic recovery and future competitiveness. 

 

Countries need to make ICT investments based on their unique set of existing factor endowments in order to produce a multiplier effect. In general, economies are made up of a combination of different sectors with one or two tending to dominate. The GCI 2020 report suggests that a country's ICT strategy should be built around its accumulated sectoral strengths. Regardless of the industry, more digitalization means more added value.

For the first time in a GCI report, the 2020 release proposed five key stages for the digital transformation of economic sectors:

Stage 1: Task efficiency. Focus is placed on tracking the completion of individual tasks through basic connectivity and more efficient communication.

Stage 2: Function efficiency. Computerized or automated functions enabled by ICT make it possible to handle multiple tasks simultaneously and share information more efficiently.

Stage 3: System efficiency. More focus is put on the digitization of core system functions for efficient operations. Enterprises in this stage will have stronger demand for connectivity and cloud services.

Stage 4: Organizational efficiency and agility. Enterprise processes are digitalized, enterprise applications are migrated to the cloud, and all systems are effectively integrated. In addition, high-coverage networks, wide adoption of cloud-based applications, and AI and IoT deployment contribute to real-time data analysis and insights.

Stage 5: Ecosystem efficiency and resilience. The entire ecosystem is digitalized, able to quickly respond to market changes, and can support the automatic coordination and cross-sector collaboration of stakeholders. Representative technologies such as 5G, IoT, and robotics present new opportunities for the emergence of new business models, working methods, and products throughout the digitization process.

"As ICT permeates industries, digital transformation has become unanimously agreed on among countries and industries," said Zhang Hongxi, Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei's ICT Infrastructure. "For the first time, we extended our research perspective from the dimension of countries to industries. We also suggested digital transformation paths for countries and enterprises in different stages to help them build future-oriented economic resilience."

 

GCI reports aim to provide policymakers and economic stakeholders with valuable insights that can help them speed up growth in the digital economy. The 79 countries evaluated by GCI 2020 represent 95% of the world's GDP and 84% of global population.

Returning to her origins 

The Spring/Summer 2021 collection takes you to Deauville, a refined seaside resort in northwestern France to which Parisians flock in summer.

An elongated silhouette replaces oversizing in this collection, which features long, straight-lined skirts and dresses. The color palette is soft and composed, its grayish pastels reminiscent of Deauville’s sea and sky. The collection incorporates a rich variety of the shirts that are essential to Parisian wardrobes, enhancing enjoyment for all occasions.

Jewel Cee is highly effective in boosting immune system

During the first months of the lockdown, you may have noticed the vitamin C aisle in the groceries looking bare after claims on social media that it could help protect you from COVID-19.

 

While there’s still no proof if that is indeed true, vitamin C has long been known to help boost our immune system which in turn protects and helps us fight cold and flu.

 

I’ve been taking vitamin C supplements as far as I could remember, as studies have shown that regular intake of Vitamin C has lots of health benefits. It helps form and maintain bones, and blood vessels and can protect you against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, and other health problems. For those who are having problems with cardiovascular health, studies have shown that Vitamin C’s antioxidant properties can help widen blood vessels and improve nitrict oxide production.

 

Remember how our parents would tell us to take Vitamin C when you have colds or feel a flu coming? That’s because it can strengthen our immunity system so that it could fight off the cold virus. People who regularly take their Vitamin C supplements are said to experience colds with milder symptoms.

 

But beyond all that, I regularly take Vitamin C for its skin and beauty benefits.

 

When it comes to skincare , Vitamin c is said to be the gold standard of beauty ingredients. It can help fade away dark spots, boost collagen production and also can help make you glow or brighten your complexion. I’m a believer of Vitamin C in skincare. 

 

Along with boasting some major health benefits, medical experts say that vitamin C is also good for your skin. Vitamin C not only helps repair free radical damage, but it brightens the skin and helps fade dark spots. Vitamin C also “stimulates collagen production, improving the skin’s texture and quality.

Using vitamin C regularly can help prevent the effects of sun damage and pollution from showing up on your skin, too. The antioxidant helps defend against hyperpigmentation by inhibiting an enzyme called tyrosinase, which is responsible for converting tyrosine into melanin in the skin.

 

And unlike other buzzworthy skin care ingredients, the best thing about vitamin C is that it doesn’t come with a long list of precautions. Vitamin C is generally safe, gentle and effective when used in skin care.

 

Vitamin C also has benefits for your hair as the ingredient is a necessary component to create the protein known as collagen, which then promotes good hair health. Vitamin C also helps your body absorb non-heme iron, a necessary mineral for hair growth.

 

In these difficult times, we all need the vitamins that we can get to help us strengthen our immunity two vitamins that we need to take are Vitamin C, and Zinc.

 

The good thing is, you can find buy your Vitamin C with Zinc at an affordable price with this brand Jewel-Cee 562.43mg Capsule and Jewel-Zee Plus 500 mg Capsule. These are available at Mercury Drug Store for only P4/caps for Jewel-Cee and P5/caps for Jewel-Zee Plus. 

 

Jewel Cee and Jewel Zee are manufactured by COMPACT PHARMACEUTICALS, CORP (CPC), a 45 years old manufacturing company in the Philippines and  is distributed by ZEUS RESOURCES, INC (ZRI).
