Entering
the rainy season, the Local Government Units (LGUs) of various
regions have kickstarted awareness drives and preparedness programs
anchored on Disaster Risk Reduction and Mitigation (DRRM) for this
year's Disaster Resilience month.
The
Asian Disaster Preparedness Center attributes the effectiveness of
disaster reduction and response to the effectivity of managing
information before, during, and after a disaster. However, utilizing
relevant information is largely anchored on the availability and most
importantly, the reliability of platforms for communication in place,
according to Cisco Managing Director for the Philippines Karrie
Ilagan.
"A
huge part of the government's DRRM measures for a disaster-prone
country like ours is vigilant preparation as this is the foundation
of our response to and recovery from disasters," said Ilagan.
"While preparation may involve tasks like having survival kits
ready at home or LGUs readying early warning systems and transport
systems like rubber boats and trucks, technology is a powerful tool
that also plays a crucial role in DRRM and in fact, cuts across all
stages of our disaster approach."
Based
on Cisco's multinational partnerships, Ilagan forecasts communication
technology greatly benefiting each DRRM aspect the government has in
place:
- Prevention and Mitigation
In
order for the development of DRRM plans to be accurate, Ilagan
believes communication technology must aid community assessments
through solutions that facilitate end-to-end monitoring.
"Evaluating
municipalities will need continual monitoring of areas exposed to
natural or man-made risks like flooding or even vehicular accidents,"
she said.
Ilagan
also highlighted that the reliability of these surveillance solutions
is hinged on cloud platforms that allow seamless data gathering,
storage, and exchange, easing the generation of vital community
reports. Likewise, continual communication on surveyed areas are
dependent on communication solutions that facilitate consistent
exchanges between LGUs and their communities to ensure these reports
are updated.
- Preparedness
Ilagan
further discussed that strong partnerships and coordination among all
key players like LGUs and their constituents rely on collaboration
solutions that expand from traditional telecommunication platforms.
To
Ilagan Video Conferencing will innovate communication between these
LGU's, giving critical meetings full context while maximizing the
time of each stakeholder through an all in one platform. With
advanced video conferencing technology, stakeholders will be able to
utilize all the benefits of reliable audio conferencing with the
added value of visual aids.
"We
can't grasp in its entirety how much valuable time has gone to waste
in preparation just because stakeholders had difficulty relaying
critical information to each other. Visual reports are understood,
appreciated, and applied faster when everyone involved can see them
because they transcend verbal challenges in collaboration."
- Response
Collaboration
among stakeholders facilitated by reliable communication solutions
carry over to the next DRRM aspect of response. Integrated and
Coordinated search, rescue, and retrieval capacities are fortified
with resilient, uninterrupted communication among municipality
Network Operation Centers.
On
the other end, mobile IP-based communication systems will aid
on-ground operations using small-scale, independent Voice Over
Internet Protocol (VOIP)—using the internet to facilitate phone
calls. These can be enforced to bridge possible communication gaps
caused by damaged or destroyed infrastructure.
Tactical
kits that are easy to deploy and navigate without the need for
technical experts will greatly benefit early recovery implementations
as well by assisting in the public's connection to family, friends,
and colleagues in devastated regions.
- Rehabilitation and Recovery
Finally,
on the road to recovery and rehabilitation, communication technology
can aid reconstruction efforts for disaster and climate change
resilient infrastructure through faster exchanges. Quick relay of
data from small municipalities to national government offices like
the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRRMC)
has the potential to hasten assistance. Tactical solutions can ease
reporting on potential or new hazards each region must take into
account and can help facilitate monitoring for rehabilitation
progress.
While
recovery efforts are underway, mobile VOIP solutions can also provide
interim connectivity infrastructure for constituents as communication
tower reconstructions take place.
"We
have plenty of use cases from different countries for our
communication and collaboration solutions, Meraki Wifi, Webex, and
Emergency Communication Kit--but all of them contributed to the
effectivity of each nation's disaster plan and we see the same
potential in the Philippines," Ilagan concluded.
People
nowadays have become more conscious in their lifestyle to preserve
the environment. A zero-waste lifestyle means not just saving natural
resources, but also helping save the earth. This can be done by
reducing our consumption of single-use plastic products or going eco.

Allianz Philippines is now the Official Life Insurance Partner of the Philippine Para-Obstacle
Course Racing National Training Pool and National Team for 2020. The company recently entered into an agreement with PILIPINAS OBSTACLE SPORTS FEDERATION, INC. (POSF), the national sports association accredited by the Philippine Sports Commission, recognized by the Philippine Olympic Committee, and sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Sports d’Obstacles (FISO) or World OCR, the International Federation on Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) and OCR Asia.
“Allianz has always believed in creating equal opportunities and encouraging people to meet challenges. This is why we have always been supportive of OCR in the Philippines. Entering into an agreement with the POSF furthers our support for these ideals,” said Allianz Philippines President and CEO Alexander Grenz.
Para-OCR has been officially included as a Demonstration Sport in the 10th ASEAN Para- Games, which the Philippines will host this January 2020. The POSF has already chosen the members of its Para-OCR National Training Pool (NTP) and will soon select the members of the National Team (NT) in the coming months. The members of the Para-OCR National Training Pool include: Ramon Anievas; Jeferson Biteng; Nigel Archer; Jerald Polintan; Angel Torres; Ariel Zinampan; Aga Casidsid; and Bert Natividad.
According to POSF President Alberto Agra, “POSF believes and advocates ‘building better humans’, which is the core value of ‘Olympism’. As such, we promote holistic development of our athletes. Partnering with Allianz PNB Life, in part, helps us achieve this mission. Looking after the welfare of athletes is our duty. POSF becomes more accountable by reason of our collaboration with our Official Life Insurance company.” Under the agreement between Allianz and POSF, the former will provide financial assistance that will be used for the development and welfare of the members of the Para-
OCR NTP and NT.
Allianz will also grant life and medical insurance as well as travel insurance during the athletes’ training period. As part of their preparation, the NTP and NT will be training and competing here and abroad.

It is likewise a partner of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) since 2006.
“Our para-athletes have shown that no matter what one’s background or situation is, one
can succeed. Allianz is one with the Filipinos in supporting them as they compete in a
milestone event,” Grenz concluded.

Monterola, executive director, ACCeSs@AiM and school head of AIM’s Aboitiz School of Innovation Technology and Entrepreneurship; and Dr. Erika Fille T. Legara, deputy director, ACCeSs@AiM and program director of AIM’s Master of Science in Data Science program. |
In1Go Technologies, Inc. has partnered with the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) for the data science project Capstone Project Collaboration.
The project aims to use information or real data to solve the company’s real-world business problems. Data from various industries are becoming more and more important for businesses to get ahead.
In1Go Technologies, Inc., an information technology services and BPO (business process outsourcing) company that provides a wide range of value solutions using the latest technologies, provided data so students in AIM’s Master of Science in Data Science program could develop a model that could lead to solutions to its business problems.
“We’re looking forward to this partnership because this is new in the industry. With data science becoming more important, we’re looking into gaining insights from the information that we have to leverage our clients’ position,” said Ramon S. Garcia, chief executive officer of In1Go.
Data In1Go shared from its clients could help develop a predictive model that the company could use internally for its projects or incorporate into its existing applications. In1Go’s clients are mostly from the fast-moving consumer good (FMCG) industry. Their data include inventories, sales and on-shelf availability.
Data Science students from AIM studied, analyzed and worked on the live data to create a model that could benefit In1Go’s clients. Students partnered with data scientists from ACCeSs@AiM to look for patterns and gain insights from the information provided to meet In1Go’s requirements and parameters to solve its business problems.
Students used computers, machine learning and algorithms to process the data. Depending on the business objective or problem, students tried developing solutions based on the information from the data. The collaborative project also served to meet thesis requirements of AIM’s Data Science students.
“What we envision is for our students to work closely with different industries and do a practical application of data science by working hand in hand with various organizations,” said Dr. Christopher P. Monterola, executive director at ACCeSs@AiM and head of AIM’s Aboitiz School of Innovation Technology and Entrepreneurship.
The Master of Science in Data Science program is a pioneering program of AIM’s Aboitiz School of Innovation Technology and Entrepreneurship, considered the first in the Philippines and one of the firsts in Asia.
In1Go specializes in supply chain, field and distribution management, location marketing and location-based services using state-of-the-art technologies.
Through this collaboration, In1Go hopes to use of the information they have to service its clients more effectively. AIM, on the other hand, hopes to work with more industries and help them understand the advantages of using data science in today’s competitive business environment.
Protect the planet for the better with one good deed every day. With the threat of rising sea levels, combined with the increasing presence of plastic waste, the Earth needs our help more than ever, do your part by saying goodbye to single-use plastic bottles. Instead, consider making the change to Vaya Drynk; a handy and sophisticated temperature-controlled bottle made from sustainable materials!
What’s Wrong With Single-Use Plastic Bottles?
Plastics are synthetic materials made from a host of raw, organic ingredients such as fossil fuel, coal, minerals, natural gas, and plant protein. Because of its durability and versatility, we have become incredibly dependent on the use of plastic. This dependency has come at a cost, with the World Economic Forum finding that of the 78 million tons of plastic waste annually produced, 32% will end up in our oceans. At this rate, with just 14% of all plastic produced collected for recycling, the number of bottles can outnumber the amount of fish in the oceans by 2050.
Plastic bottles are not biodegradable. This means that plastic cannot be digested by living organisms, such as fungi or bacteria. Instead, plastic is broken down into smaller pieces (microplastic) through natural means such as sun exposure and weather conditions. The process for plastic to degrade can take hundreds of years.
However, the power is now in our hands to change the world before it’s too late. We can do this by reducing our dependency on single-use plastic for a smart and eco-friendly water bottle!
Introducing Vaya Drynk
Designed by a global team with a revolutionary zeal for innovation and improving people’s lives, Vaya Drynk is the only water bottle you will ever need! Vaya’s patented VacuTherm Insulation keeps your drinks hot for up to 12 hours, and cold for up to 18 hours- ensuring constant freshness no matter where you are. Each bottle comes with two unique sanitary lids:
Sipper – Comes equipped with magnetic latches to ensure you can relish your drink without having to worry about the lid ever touching your nose
Gulper – Comes equipped with two detachable cups that allow you to share your favorite drinks with family and friends
Compared to other bottles, Vaya Drynk sports the widest mouth on the market today. This allows for quick and easy cleaning. In addition, the wide mouth enables you to load any beverage of your choice into the bottle with incredible ease; whether it’s water, a fruit smoothie, or milk tea with pearls!
Make the Switch to Reusable Bottles
Why settle for constantly paying for plastics, when one reusable bottle can do absolute wonders for the environment and your wallet? Make the change to eco-friendly and sustainable ways of consuming and carrying your favorite beverages with Vaya Drynk, a water bottle made from BPA-free materials!
Take Vaya Drynk everywhere you go; to the gym, to the office, on your commute, or even on your travels in-and-out of the country. The sleek and slim design will do wonders in adding to your style quotient. Drynk allows you to avoid straw use, which is great for your kids as straws inhibit oral development.
Vaya Drynk comes in a range of modern and elegant designs and colors including graphite, gold, black, purple, green, blue, shiny black, white, and red. Vaya Drynk is available in 350ml bottles (PHP1,547) and 600ml bottles (PHP1,866). Each bottle comes with a one-year warranty and can be purchased at http://www.VayaLife.com.l

Amid the environmental challenges the country is facing, local bottling firm Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines Inc. (PCPPI) has strengthened its commitment to running a sustainable business through internal solid waste management efforts. Throughout its 70 years of serving Filipinos world-class refreshments, PCPPI has acknowledged the importance of these measures not just in perpetuating the business but also in ensuring its generational service to the country.
“We strengthened our core commitment to sustainability as we acknowledged that the natural resources we have are limited. Our business and surrounding communities depend on these resources so we resolved to make sure they will continue to be available now and in the future though internal programs we’ve set for ourselves,” said PCPPI Senior Vice President for Operations Allan Frias II.
One of the measures PCPPI initiated within its business was driving a circular economy—minimizing waste at its source through its internal 5-year Luntiang Yaman program focusing on environmental conservation and development. Under this program they launched a three-pronged approach to solid waste management: Packaging innovations, Recycling, and Partnerships.
Innovative packaging solutions
PCPPI has ensured the recyclability of its entire product portfolio—with the bigger share comprised of Returnable Glass Bottles (RGB) at 71%, and the rest comprised of 20% special packaging of pre-mixed beverages for soda fountains, 8% high-value recyclable PET and 1% aluminum can.
"Our product portfolio historically has always been hinged on the returnable glass bottle (RGB) as there continues to be a demand among consumers, and RGBs are a lot sturdier than plastic bottles,” Frias said. “We focus on RGBs because very little needs to be done for their re-use. Our partners return our glass bottles for a fee and all we need to do then is wash and sanitize them.”
Through years of developing RGBs, PCPPI has optimized packaging by reducing the materials in other containers apart from glass bottles by making them lighter, successfully diverting tons of solid waste from landfills. As a result of their packaging innovations since 2014, PCPPI has collectively reduced plastic resin used in its PET containers by 863.4 MT, glass material by 6,467.5 MT, and carton material usage by 921.35 MT.
“Lighter packaging in no way compromises the durability of these containers. The same quality of our products is retained but with added benefit of lessening waste being generated,” Frias explained.
Effective recycling efforts
The Filipino bottling firm also tightened its enforcement of recycling within all of its 13 plants across the Philippines. According to Frias, since the implementation of their Luntiang Yaman program, PCPPI has successfully recycled 81% of in-plant solid waste, putting them right on track to reach their 85% goal by 2020.
“PCPPI embeds recycling even in our community volunteerism projects,” Frias said. “In the past we transformed PET bottles into sustainable sources for light in war-stricken Marawi and recently, in our Brigada Eskwela efforts this year where we turned over a greenhouse made of upcycled PET bottles to one of our beneficiaries.”
Strong Industry partnerships
As sustainability isn’t a competition for PCPPI, the company also leveraged on their industry partnerships to help address solid waste challenges outside their plants.
The company has been a long-time partner of the Philippine Alliance for Recycling and Materials Sustainability (PARMS) alongside other industry movers among Fast-Moving Consumer Group enterprises . "We do not have control over post-consumer wastes, but we try to address this by engaging with our brothers in the industry to help the community have a common recycling facility for all of their wastes,” Frias said. "Here, we segregate our wastes, as well as our partners’ for recycling.”
Further, PCPPI has recently partnered with ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya to donate its used industrial oils, and car in exchange of proceeds that will be remitted to the ABS-CBN foundation to help fund its projects. The project will not just help divert and properly dispose these harmful leftovers, but aims to help alleviate as well the lives of the beneficiaries.
“When it comes to strengthening business continuity, sustainability must always be a key component. By being more conscious of our responsibility to the environment, we benefit not only our business but the communities that surround and support us well into the years to come,” Frias concluded.
Every year, the College of Saint Benilde’s Fashion Design and Merchandising program graduating class stages ‘Sinulid’, a captivating show of creativity and out-of-the-box fashion trends shimmying down the runway—and this year’s was no exception. With the cooperation with Xiaomi, the youngest company on Global 500 fortune list this year, we’d love to talk about the young bloods, the emerging talents who are not afraid to push the imaginary boundaries of fashion.
For the first time ever, leading tech and innovation company, Xiaomi, took part in the much-celebrated event. Similar to the talented student designers, Xiaomi is committed to continuous innovation with an unwavering focus on quality and efficiency. The smartphone brand is known for its groundbreaking ideas in the tech-industry that pushes boundaries in every product it markets.
“We’re happy to be part of Sinulid, an event that showcases the creativeness of students from the College of St. Benilde on how they can make an impact in the growing Philippine fashion industry. Similar to the students, we at Xiaomi believe in being creative, being innovative, so that we can deliver a positive change in the community,” said Mark Li, country manager of Xiaomi Philippines.
He added: “Xiaomi relentlessly build amazing products with honest prices to let everyone in the world enjoy a better life through innovative technology.”
As co-presenter of the Sinulid 2019 Fashion Show, Xiaomi captured the edgy OOTDs and runway looks of the guests and participants with its cutting-edge smartphone, the Mi 9T.
With its triple camera and pop-up selfie plus its fulfilled promise of a true full screen experience, the Mi9T was the perfect accessory. And with its 4000 MAH battery capacity and tough hardware, the Mi9T provided hours and hours of uninterrupted camera use for the hundreds of IG-worthy shots to be had during Sinulid. The Mi9T is available at SRP Php 15,990 for 6GB+64GB, and Php 17,990 for 6GB+128GB. It comes in Carbon Black, Flame Red and Glacier Blue and is available at Xiaomi’s official store on Lazada and at Mi Authorized Stores.
With over 50 participating student designers, the result was an enthralling show of romantic and nostalgic themes that ranged from sartorial glamour to casual elegance. Together with Xiaomi, the annual event continuously breeds a new crop of young talents ready to take on the ever-changing and highly-competitive fashion scene in the country.

This
July, Jollikids are in for an exciting playtime as Jollibee brings
the magic of a carnival ride into their homes with the newest Jolly
Kiddie Meal toy set – the Jollibee Wheel of Joy!
With
the latest set of connectible toys from the country’s leading
fast-food chain, kids will truly have another fun-filled experience
as Jollibee and Friends take them on an exciting Ferris Wheel ride.
Jollikids
can build the Jollibee Wheel of Joy by first assembling the pillars
of their carnival attraction, placing Jollibee at the base, and
turning the knob to see him move around. Next, they can assemble the
Ferris Wheel’s cabs by using bars to connect the swing frames and
fixing the swings of Hetty, Popo, Twirlie, and Yum to the bars.
As
they connect the base and each of the colorful gondolas together,
kids can make Jollibee’s friends spin by turning the knob – just
like a real Ferris Wheel ride!
Let
your Jollikids have fun building their own Jollibee Wheel of Joy with
a fascinating charm and magic that will capture their imagination.
Collect
and connect all five toys with every purchase of a Yumburger (P80),
Yumburger Meal with Drink (P100), Jolly Spaghetti (P95), Jolly
Spaghetti Meal with Drink (P105), 1-piece Burger Steak (P95), 1-piece
Burger Steak Meal with Drink (P105), 1-piece Chickenjoy with Rice
(P120), or 1-piece Chickenjoy Meal (P135), each comes with its own
Jolly Joy Box.
So,
let Jollibee and Friends give your kids a more adventurous playtime
as they build and bring to life their favorite theme park attraction.
Head to a Jollibee branch near you and start collecting all five
Jolly Kiddie Meal toys, available until July 31 only.
‘Rizal
sa Espana’ float scores top prize in the Grand Float Competition
SM
City Calamba designed and created an impressive float that won the
top prize at the recently concluded Buhayani Festival Grand Float
Competition held at Rizal Shrine in Calamba, Laguna.
“We
take pride in the Filipino culture as we show our support by
promoting and joining fun, local celebrations, such as the Buhayani
Festival. This recent win definitely makes us even more proud to be
part of the community,” said Engr. John Jason Terrenal, senior
assistant vice president for South Luzon Mall Operations.
SM
Calamba’s ‘Rizal sa España’ float was inspired by the life of
Rizal in Spain. The façade showed a replica of Universidad Central
de Madrid where Rizal studied medicine to fulfill his dream of
becoming a doctor. Behind it was a library which emphasized Rizal’s
exemplary performance and traits as a student. The dockyard where
Rizal began his journey in Madrid was also included in the float, as
well as the paper and pen which strongly symbolizes his wisdom and
his great contribution in attaining the country’s sovereignty.
Since
2014, SM City Calamba has been taking part in the Buhayani Festival,
which has gained recognition and support from the local community –
from schools, government agencies, private establishments and local
organizations. The Buhayani Festival is Calamba City’s way to
celebrate the life of its homegrown hero and the National Hero of the
Philippines, Gat. Jose Rizal. “Buhayani” is derived from two
Filipino words, “buhay” (life) and “bayani” (hero).

All
it takes are a few quick trips up and down the city’s iconic LRT-1
line. Make it a fun and productive Saturday to remember and get
yourself full and satisfied with this convenient itinerary:
Lunch
at Baclaran
The
southern end of the line at Baclaran
station is
home to various choices, largely thanks to its famous Baclaran
market. Start your Manila food trip with lunch at any of the endless
options, such as the Pista
Food Hall at
Redemptorist Road with a whole host of Filipino cuisine and
delightful regional flavors by its different concessionaires, or the
Yokocho Food
Court if
you’re fixing to have some mouthwatering and affordable Japanese
food. With all the possibilities in Baclaran, make sure you’ve
still got room for the other stops!

Merienda
at Carriedo
If
you want to experience more diverse flavors in Manila, make your way
over to Chinatown in Binondo via Carriedo
station.
There, you’ll find the legendary Quik
Snack restaurant
on Carvajal Street, home to traditional Filipino-Chinese fare with a
few more international dishes also in the menu. You might find the
restaurant packed to the brim with other excited diners, but don’t
be discouraged—the food is definitely worth the wait. You came all
the way here for the good stuff, didn’t you?
Railway
Jam at the Doroteo Jose station
Head
one stop further up the LRT-1 line and discover a cultural gem
outside of food—music! From 4PM-6PM, the Doroteo Jose train station
becomes a mini-concert hub for commuters as up-and-coming local
musicians perform through busking sessions, also known as Railway
Jam. Initiated by Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) and ikotMNL,
in partnership with Organisasyon ng mga Pilipinong Mang-Aawit (OPM),
Railway Jam is showcased from Thursdays to Saturdays until August
2019 at the Doroteo Jose, Monumento, and Baclaran stations for
commuters to enjoy pure musical talent and witness the rise of the
next potential OPM star.
Dinner
at Abad Santos
Last,
but certainly never the least is the Filipino delicacy nobody passes
up—the immortal and ever-present lechon. Score some of the best
lechon in the city by taking the train to Abad
Santos
station
where you can find Mila’s
Lechon.
You can be
sure that it’ll satisfy and serve as a delicious end to an
enjoyable and unique Saturday.
The
beautiful thing about Manila is that you can head to all these stops
in one day, thanks to the convenience of the LRT-1 and ikotMNL! And
since it’s already the rainy season, don’t forget to bring your
umbrellas—you wouldn’t want to go on your food trip all soaking
wet!
ikotMNL
is a tourism
campaign launched by the Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) in 2018
to connect foreign and local travelers to Manila’s rich history,
cultural heritage, and top food destinations by riding the LRT-1 to
areas such as Intramuros, Binondo, Quiapo, and many more. For more
