  • Hydrating healthily in life 24/7

    Hydrating healthily in life 24/7

    It is already a fact that we need water every day to keep our bodies healthy, functioning well and strong enough to withstand sickness. Yet we still go for drinks that quench our thirst and at the same time are
    flavorful and enjoyable to drink – juices and carbonated drinks are the usual suspects. They do taste good and give us some added nutrients; however, it is probable that some of them have chemicals that  will not be as healthy as some minerals that are needed by the body.

    Fortunately, Pocari Sweat, a health hydration drink by Otsuka Philippines Pharmaceutical Inc., brings hydration to a healthier but enjoyable level. Pocari Sweat is highly recommended to those who are
    in need of immediate hydration, most especially those who have an active lifestyle and those who suffer from dehydration because of illness.

    Pocari Sweat has a refreshing mild taste, even best when it’s cold, you won’t need another beverage to wash off a strong taste and flavor from your usual drink. Yet, children as young as one year old can
    safely drink it. It does not have artificial coloring, no preservatives, no caffeine, and no artificial sweetener, which then makes it safe for anyone who needs immediate hydration.

    Especially now during these months when “ber-month” celebrations are close at hand, numerous parties will be held with family, friends, and co-workers from before the Christmas season until the New Year.
    Alcohol will definitely flow and other fun activities will get you into that party mood that lasts up until the sun rises.

    Those who love to go on a night out after work can get over hangover easily just by drinking Pocari Sweat before they turn in after their night cap. There is no fun in having those head-cracking hangovers.
    When we drink alcoholic drinks like beer and cocktail, we get dehydrated easily because we tend to do  a lot of restroom breaks.

    Alcohol also drains the electrolytes that our bodies need to function that is why when we get drunk, we sometimes can’t get a hold of ourselves. Coffee and some warm soup may give us some relief for a
    time, but still, the best way to battle hangover is to replenish our body with enough electrolytes – something that a bottle of Pocari Sweat can give.

    Pocari Sweat comes in 330ml can (Php 24.00), 350ml PET bottle (Php 24.00), 500ml PET bottle (Php 35.00), 2L PET bottle (Php 125.00). Pocari Sweat is available in major chain drugstores, supermarkets and convenience stores.

  • Introducing Quattron Pro, Another Engineering Marvel from Sharp

    Introducing Quattron Pro, Another Engineering Marvel from Sharp

    Elevate Your Home Entertainment with a Beyond UHD Experience

    The evolution of the television set has already come a long way, from the traditional wood-enclosed ones that offer monochromatic pictures and then moving to color, from the cathode ray tubes to LCD to plasma, and now with LED.

    Never content with just following the trend, Sharp (Phils.) Corp. has decided to take it up a notch by helping change the way we see pictures on TV. A few years ago, Sharp introduced Quattron Technology, a proprietary color technology which adds the sub-pixel Yellow to the traditional Red-Green-Blue color setup, for a more natural reproduction of colors, making it more brilliant and lifelike.

    Now, Sharp is going even further with the game-changing Quattron Pro Technology. Simply put, Quattron Pro uses the 4-Color Technology and heightens it with the Quattron Pro Drive Engine. The Quattron Pro Engine is a built-in upscaler which transforms the quality of Full HD TV, making it comparable to 4K-Ultra HD picture quality. It is a great improvement on the usual Full HD resolution, adding 10 million subpixels to the 6 million subpixels that Full HD normally has.

    Sharp Quattron Pro offers stunning resolution that is better than the other Full HD TV products available in the market today. This means more detail, more depth, and more color. And with the addition of the Quattron Pro Drive Engine, everything looks better when seen on this TV. It upscales any content and makes full HD content almost equivalent to Ultra HD quality.

    Quattron Pro is also future-ready in the sense that it allows you to play 4K content without discernible loss in quality. It is a viable and more practical solution, compared to buying a 4K TV today when there is not enough 4K materials available in the market to justify buying one. So, instead of buying a 4K TV hoping to use it in the future when there is more 4K content, you can buy a Quattron Pro now, enjoy Full HD content that is as close to Ultra HD quality as possible, and be ready for the future when 4K content is more readily available. Complementary to the visual precision of Quattron Pro is its sound quality. It has been awarded the THX Certification, a globally accepted standard for sound reproduction. THX was founded by world-renowned Star Wars director George Lucas, who initially created THX to make sure that cinemas could recreate the sound – all the nuances and subtleties – the way filmmakers intended. THX Certification has since then been adapted into home entertainment, with televisions going through 30 test categories, 400 bench tests and 1,000 data points to make sure that only the best of the best are approved and awarded. Because of these rigorous tests, a THX Certification is an instant guarantee that your TV has the highest cinema-house standards for both visuals and sound.

    There is no doubt that the television is a ubiquitous part of every household. But Sharp understands that in today’s world, your home-viewing standards are higher than ever. Trust Sharp to provide quality enjoyment and leisure time with the breakthrough Quattron Pro Technology. This commitment is made clear through Sharp’s “Our Brand, Our Pride” philosophy, a pledge to uplift the quality of Filipinos’ lives with exceptional products.

  • Affordability Key Deterrent from Buying Property: Report

    Global property portal releases new research on real estate in the Philippines.

    Affordability is top of mind for Filipinos who choose not to buy property, with more than 60 percent of renters in a recent survey of online house-hunters citing cost constraints as the primary reason they leased their home.

    The findings are contained in new research from global property website Lamudi, which today released its first report on real estate in the emerging markets. The report, Real Estate in the Emerging Markets, provides a comprehensive overview of the property sector in 16 emerging countries, including the Philippines.

    The report is based on a series of online surveys conducted with house-hunters and real estate agents in each country, as well as onsite data from Lamudi’s global network of websites. The research examines the habits of online property-seekers, while offering insights into the future of the property sector based on interviews and surveys with local property experts.

    The customer survey examined house-hunting habits among buyers and renters. For renters, affordability emerged as the key reason why many Filipinos choose not to buy their own home. More than 60 percent of renters surveyed said they could not afford to buy property. For buyers, the main driver for owning property is security. Nearly three-quarters of buyers cited security as their primary motivation for purchasing a home.

    According to the survey of real estate agents, the country’s economic outlook is seen as the top constraint on the property market, reflecting current concerns about a potential slowdown. However, agents and brokers remain overwhelmingly optimistic about the future of the market. More than 90 percent describe their outlook for the next 12 months as positive.

    Lamudi’s Global Co-Founder and Managing Director, Kian Moini, said: “The primary conclusion that we have drawn from our research is that the future for the Philippine property sector is extremely bright. In fact, two-thirds of the real estate agents we surveyed are expecting growth of eight percent or higher in the property market this year. The country’s real estate market has emerged as one of the most promising in the Asia Pacific region.”

    The report features a series of in-depth interviews with key figures from the property industry of each country, including Jose Romarx Salas, Head of Research and Consulting at Pinnacle Real Estate Consulting Services.

    Mr Salas said the key challenge for the Philippine property market was finding enough land to accommodate development. “In Metro Manila, that’s the challenge: looking for suitable land. Some developers are even willing to bid high, which pushes up already skyrocketing land prices in the capital,” he told Lamudi.

    The 16 countries covered in the report are: Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Morocco, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Mexico and Colombia.

    The full report is presented in an easy-to-read online format, available for viewing on the Lamudi website. Visit www.lamudi.com.ph/research.
