More Japanese treats at FamilyMart

No need to wait until you can travel to Japan or scout for inconspicuous suppliers to enjoy Japanese convenience store favorites, thanks to FamilyMart. Iconic items such as Strong Zero, and Cheeza are now easily accessible across all FamilyMart stores in the Philippines.

“We are so glad to add more Japanese treats to our stores, especially nowadays when travel is still limited. As a brand that originated in Japan, it’s only proper that we finally bring in these favorites so that we can delight more Filipinos amid these trying times,” shared FamilyMart General Manager Celina Matias.

The local franchise of the convenience store chain from Japan opened the new year by stocking its shelves with new products that Filipinos only used to enjoy when visiting the land of the rising sun. Some of the standout items include Strong Zero, a line of ‘chuhai’, which is a traditional Japanese liquor; the Suntory Horoyoi range, including the crowd-favorite peach flavor; and Cheeza, triangular cheese crackers with flavors like ‘Raw Cheese’ and ‘Camembert’. Meanwhile, a healthier option comes in Senbei, a savory, oven-baked rice cracker that’s ideal for snacking.

Aside from being available in stores for walk-in customers, these new offerings are also available via GrabMart, so even those working from home or simply staying in can enjoy these treats without even having to leave their house. According to Philippine FamilyMart, this is only the beginning as close to more items will be introduced starting next month.

Ms. Matias added, “We’re staying true to the brand’s Japanese heritage, and introducing to the local market close to a hundred new items in February, so watch out for that!”

GROHE: Designed to Flood

 

When asked about the state of global water security, those working in the development sector would usually summarize it in three “too’s”—too much, too little, too dirty. All three are true for many cities in Asia, and severe for cities in emerging economies like the Philippines. Those in the tropical belt suffer the worst typhoons, droughts, and polluted water sources, with sometimes much less resources to pour into solutions to address these issues. In 2018, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development or OECD estimated the water infrastructure gap to reach USD 6.7 trillion by 2030 and US$22.6 trillion by 2050. The good news is more designers and city leaders are tapping into nature for infrastructure services.

“Nature-based solutions,” Ross Mckenzie, Arcadis Head of South-East Asia & India, tells us what this direction is. “As urban areas expand, the amount of permeable land reduces, increasing flooding events, pollution, and ultimately the quantity and quality of water supply. Nature-based solutions offer a more sustainable, adaptable, and affordable way to achieve climate and flood resilience. They also have benefits that support the UN Sustainable Development Goals. They redevelop the natural water cycle process, reduce the peak flows, allow the water to be naturally retained, reduce the flooding risk, and provide a water source during the dry seasons. Kind of like the natural cycle coming back.”

Sometimes called blue, green, or green-gray infrastructure, the premise for its design is simple: work with nature and not against it. It can be executed at multiple scales. “It’s like bringing the concrete jungle back into the natural water cycle,” says Mckenzie. Buildings can integrate gardens to assist cooling and rainwater capture. Streets can help recharge groundwater better through permeable pavements, rain gardens, and grass swales. Concrete revetments or retaining walls of canals and streams can be replaced with more vegetated edges better suited for pedestrian activity. Public parks can be designed with water retention capacities so that extra water during the monsoon season or a typhoon can be directed to it. Then, when the river level is low, during the summer or a dry spell, the parks discard it into waterways to be used. It could be as simple as reforesting the watershed, waterway edges, and mangroves in order to make existing gray infrastructure more resilient.

The World Bank and World Resources Institute’s 2019 report Integrating Green and Gray: Creating Next Generation Infrastructure offers a couple of case studies of the benefits. For example, the filtration services provided by better watershed management in Portland, Maine, replaced the need for a water filtration plant, saving the city an estimated USD 97 to 155 million over 20 years. Residential and industrial infrastructure in the Philippines avoid more than USD 1 billion annually in damages through mangroves, reefs, and other natural systems.

While the severity of rainfall and drought are water stressors not within direct human control, efficiencies in our water utility systems are. “One of the biggest wasters is non-revenue water (NRW), the water that never makes it to consumers. Most of the loss is caused by leakage through pipe bursts that you don’t know about for weeks,” says McKenzie. The International Water Association estimates that emerging markets have experienced up to 75% NRW. Water losses cannot be eliminated, but ideally water service providers should lower it to below 20%.

Utility providers have a lot of aging infrastructure to upgrade. This does not have to be the case for household water mains. There is already technology available for home and business owners to make sure leaks are immediately addressed and wastage reduced. For example, the GROHE Sense and Sense Guard water systems detect any leak in piping or plumbing systems, whether it is minor, major, or impending, and sends alerts to your mobile phone on excessive water usage. Smarter water systems can start at home, informing us of our own consumption habits so we can recalibrate our lifestyles, and also educate the succeeding generation.

GROHE Sense Guard water security system is capable of detecting issues and pipe leaks before they cause a major water damage, which gives more time for everyone to react. Moreover, installing is a job that you can do quickly and easily.

Clean water is a resource we cannot take for granted. Climate change and rapid urbanization are making it more challenging to utilize and restore these days. Efficiencies can be achieved through innovations in the realms of technology and nature, by mindful governments and individual citizens.

Sky Fiber’s new Super Speed Plans

SKY Fiber is launching its new set of Super Speed Plans on February 1 to deliver on consumers’ need for inexpensive plans with reliable internet connection.

“While we all continue to adapt to the new normal, we cannot deny the significance of having a good quality internet connection at home. As an internet service provider, SKY Fiber wants quality internet connection to be accessible to more Filipinos. With our new Super Speed Plans, we have enhanced the speeds of our best value plans bundled with the WiFi Mesh without compromising its affordability,” James Dumlao, SKY’s head of Consumer Products Group, said.

SKY Fiber’s new plans offer Unlimited Broadband Plans with speeds of up to 50Mbps (P1,699/month), 100Mbps (P2,299/month), and 150Mbps (P2,799/month), compared to its previous offering of 40Mbps, 80Mbps, and 120Mbps. The Unli Broadband + HD Cable TV Plans also provide higher speeds of up to 80Mbps (P2,499/month) and 150Mbps (P2,999/month) with more cable channels.

These Super Speed Plans provide subscribers the right balance in terms of speed, strong connectivity, and value for money. Alan Supnet, SKY’s head of Broadband Products, said they looked into the sentiments of many Filipino families when they were developing SKY Fiber’s new set of plans.

“Families with a limited budget tend to get low-cost plans or wireless prepaid internet, but risk experiencing slow and spotty connection. On the other hand, ultra-high speed plans that do offer reliable connection come with very high costs, which not a lot of people can afford. SKY Fiber offers that sweet spot that’s ‘swak’ for their needs and budget,” he explained.

The new plans also come with free WiFi Mesh units (number of units included depend on the chosen plan) to evenly distribute the internet signal around the house. To date, SKY Fiber remains to be the only internet service provider in the country that readily bundles the WiFi Mesh for free with its plans.

“We made sure to keep the WiFi Mesh included for free in all our broadband plans because we’ve seen how it enhances the experience of our subscribers in eliminating dead zones at home. Most frustrations related to the internet are rooted in poor signal around the home, and the WiFi Mesh is our solution. Anywhere in the house, our subscribers get seamless WiFi coverage without any additional cost,” Supnet said.

For users looking for a reliable plan to cater to their basic internet needs, SKY Fiber still offers its 20Mbps Plan maintained at the affordable price of P999 per month. An Unli Broadband Plan of up to 30 Mbps (P1,299/month) and Unli Broadband + HD Cable TV Plan of up to 40Mbps (P1,699/month) are also new offerings that won’t break the bank.

As a treat for those who subscribe to the new Super Speed Plans within February 1 to April 30, SKY Fiber is offering free and lowered installation fees. Select plans also get a free speed boost until April 30. The boosted speed will depend on the chosen plan. For example, subscribers of the 50Mbps Plan can experience up to 75Mbps until the end of April at no additional cost.

Aside from having new plans, SKY Fiber has made its highest speed plan of up to 200Mbps (P3,499/month) available in all SKY Fiber serviceable areas, which are Metro Manila, Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Baguio, Cebu, Dumaguete, Bacolod, Iloilo, Davao, GenSan, and Zamboanga.

Caltex's Biyaheng Pagtulong nationwide drive to support rehabilitation efforts in Typhoon Odette stricken areas

Caltex, marketed by Chevron Philippines Inc (CPI), announced today its Biyaheng Pagtulong fuel promo. From February 4 to 10, 2022, Caltex network of retailers and marketers will be donating Php1 for every liter of fuel purchased for relief efforts in typhoon-stricken areas such as Bohol, Cebu, Palawan, Surigao and Butuan, which will be topped up by CPI, in partnership with the American Chamber Foundation of the Philippines (AMCHAM Foundation).

All Caltex fuel products are included in this fuel up-to-donate drive and there is no minimum fuel purchase required. The more motorists’ gas-up the higher the chances that the targeted Php5 million fund will be reached for Caltex and its retailers to donate to the typhoon victims.

Typhoon Odette left serious damages across Visayas and Mindanao particularly in Bohol, Cebu, Surigao, Butuan and Northern Palawan. Electricity and water supply have yet to be restored in most of the areas hit by Typhoon Odette. Residents are also struggling with food, clothing, and shelter. Relief efforts in these hard-hit areas are still ongoing.

“Chevron Philippines has always been committed to improving the quality of life of the communities we operate in. We want to appeal to the Filipino spirit of Bayanihan to help those in need. It is our hope that the collective contributions will help in addressing the immediate needs of our countrymen affected by Typhoon Odette,” CPI Country Chairman Billy Liu said.

The Caltex Biyaheng Pagtulong promo can be availed at all Caltex stations nationwide except for the areas which were badly hit by the typhoon.

CPI has a long tradition of donations to various charitable non-government organizations such as the Philippine Red Cross. CPI immediately mobilized aid and relief donations in millions during Typhoons Ondoy, Yolanda, and Ulysses, to name a few.

Converge capped off 2021 strong with improved consistency scores across 5 regions

Ookla®, the global leader in internet testing and analysis, recently verified Converge ICT Solutions Inc. as the most consistent fixed internet provider in 5 regions for the last quarter of 2021, namely Metro Manila, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Ilocos Region, and Cagayan Valley with consistency scores of 82.6, 81.45, 82.99, 80.36, and 85.59 respectively.

Converge’s Q4 2021 score also showed improvement from the same year’s Q1 score of 72.75 to 82.2% consistency score, measuring the percentage of a provider’s samples that equals or exceeds a fixed threshold of 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload.

Likewise, with the thousands of consumer-initiated tests taken with Speedtest®, Converge results showed a median latency rate of 4ms and a jitter rate of 2ms for the last quarter of 2021. The former measures how quickly a device gets a response after a user sends out a request, while the latter measures the delay between when a signal is transmitted and when it’s received.

The mentioned metrics reflected the overall quality of a connection beyond raw speed, validating significant investments on Converge’s high speed network as well as the quality of the connections all over the network.

“The goal of all our roll out of initiatives in 2021 was to bring a better experience to Filipinos in underserved and unserved areas – and increasing our consistency every quarter in 2021 is a testament to our dedication to our subscribers,” said Converge COO, Jesus C. Romero. “Converge stays committed to serving its customers especially during the height of the pandemic. We are ready to face 2022 with improved services to connect our kababayans across all islands,” he added.

With the new normal lifestyle that’s here to stay, Converge is looking forward to ease the Filipinos’ online experience and navigate through day-to-day tasks digitally with its seamless, fast, and reliable pure fiber technology in 2022.

Saab Magalona on speaking to your doctor about vaccine-preventable diseases: Do it for your children!

For wife and mother of two, Saab Magalona-Bacarro, making the call to shots for her children is not even a question of getting it done or not. It is the most important thing to do for her children’s health.
 
“It’s a few minutes of crying in exchange for long-term protection against life-threatening diseases so it’s very much worth it,” the content creator and podcast host said.
 
Saab and her husband, Jim Bacarro learned the importance of immunization through their own mothers whom they seek advice about parenting. “My husband and I are grateful our own parents have ingrained it (importance of immunization) in us enough to understand its importance in protecting ourselves and our future families.”
 
Saab also shared the technique that she learned during the first time her baby experienced receiving a jab. “It wasn’t so bad! If you’re breastfeeding, it’s best to feed them while they take the shot so they can be easily comforted.”
 
She also believes that the children can feel their parent’s energy. “Stay calm and remember that it’s not about you, it’s about your child. If it makes you uncomfortable to see your child get injected, that’s something you will have to overcome.”
 
“Also, don’t make a big fuss about how they’re so ‘kawawa’ or so brave for doing it. Just be there to hug and comfort them and move on to other things,” she added as she believes that this will help in normalizing vaccination.
 
She also advised first-time moms to do their research and make sure it’s science based. Aside from that, it is best to seek advice from the pediatrician.
 
For Saab, getting a shot should not be something to be afraid of. “It’s just a thing we have to do like getting our teeth cleaned at the dentist!”
 
“Vaccination is a big factor in preventing illnesses and spreading disease,” she said. She also encouraged every parent to make the call and speak with their doctor. “Be proactive in your children’s health and make sure to put your vaccination schedules in whatever calendar you use.”
 
Just like Saab, MSD’s campaign Call the Shots also invites every Filipino parent to make their call and do the move to level up the protection for their children against vaccine-preventable diseases.
 
Call the Shots PH is an awareness campaign to help protect parents and their children from vaccine-preventable diseases. This advocacy campaign is brought to you by MSD in the Philippines.
 

For more information, visit the Call the Shots Facebook Page and consult your pediatrician on how to protect your children against vaccine-preventable diseases.

CCC and Nestlé PH gather the brightest ideas for climate action at the Klimathon Finalist Showcase

10 teams selected to advance to the final round and undergo mentorship sessions from industry experts.

The impacts of climate change have gradually intensified around the world with countries experiencing more severe weather conditions, and sea levels rising at an increasing rate. Without urgent action, these are only foreseen to worsen and among those who will bear the most burden is the next generation.

Recognizing this, the youth is taking a stand towards mitigating climate change in various ways such as supporting environmental causes, reducing their carbon footprint, and using their voices in raising awareness on the current climate situation. The United Nations even described them as “agents of change, entrepreneurs and innovators” when it comes to climate action.

As a way to provide the Filipino youth a platform to develop new and workable solutions that can help address pressing climate concerns, the Climate Change Commission (CCC) and Nestlé Philippines launched “Klimathon: Our Race Towards a Net-Zero Reality” last October 2021. Students and young innovators were asked to send in their project concepts focusing on any of these three pillars: plastic waste management, energy efficiency and renewable energy, and food security.

After receiving entries from participants nationwide, CCC and Nestlé have selected 10 teams that will advance to the final stage of the Klimathon and undergo a mentoring program led by experts in the fields of sustainability, agriculture, energy and technology. The finalists presented their project concepts during the virtual Klimathon Finalist Showcase.

Each of the top 10 entries exemplified the youth’s innovative thinking and out of the box approach in helping addressing environmental concerns in the country. From upcycling fish food waste into bioplastic to solar-powered temperature and humidity-controlled food storage boxes.

During the event, the members of the mentoring pool were also introduced to help participants refine their proposed solutions and support them the as they become more involved in climate action moving forward.

After the mentoring sessions, the three winning teams will be named at the Klimathon Finals happening in April 2022. Special citation awards will be given to entries that embody and promote gender empowerment, originality and community participation.

The top 10 finalists and mentors gathered during the showcase together with Nestlé Philippines and the Climate Change Commission during the virtual showcase. Also present was Department of Finance Assistant Secretary Paola Alvarez who talked about the role of the youth in mitigating climate change

“When the CCC and Nestlé Philippines launched this competition last year, we aimed to showcase what the Filipino youth can offer when it comes to climate action. We want to provide an avenue where they can freely create and develop sustainability-focused ideas for the environment. Knowing more about their innovative and refreshing project concepts today, I do believe we have achieved this goal,” said Mr. Ludwig O. Federigan, Chief of Information and Knowledge Management Division from the Climate Change Commission.

Nestle Philippines AVP for Sustainability and Public Affairs, Ms. Christine Ponce-Garcia, also commended the young finalists: “Seeing these bright minds come together shows us that the future is indeed bright as we journey towards a net-zero reality. At Nestlé PH, we celebrate the youth engaged in climate action with their vision and passion. They will be the leaders in ensuring a healthier, more livable planet that they will inherit.”
