Corporate Governance Asia awarded BDO with
the Asia’s Icon on Corporate Governance for the 14th time. The
icon award recognizes the best of the best in corporate governance (CG) in Asia
for setting the benchmark of
what CG should be.
The country’s largest bank also took home
the Asia’s Outstanding Company on Corporate Governance Award for its
consistently high CG standing, while BDO Chairperson Teresita Sy-Coson and
President & CEO Nestor V. Tan were co-awarded with the Asian Corporate
Director Recognition Award for their exemplary leadership.
“Corporate governance is now deeply
embedded in Asia, which in many ways, serves as an attractive proposition for
investors to park their capital in this region,” said Corporate Governance Asia
Founder and Publisher Aldrin Monsod. “Corporations here have adopted and
continue to adapt to the best international practices that have made Asia an
important investment destination for global fund managers.”
For Tan, CG is valuable in maintaining a
healthy, financially-sound, and well-managed bank. “It is a key driver towards
our sustainable growth and long-term value creation,” he said.
BDO’s
CG practice is recognized as one of the best
in the Philippines. With a high score on the ASEAN CG Scorecard, the bank is
one of the Top 50 ASEAN Publicly-Listed Companies in Corporate Governance.
Having an award-winning CG practice bodes
favorably among foreign investors. BDO has received an over subscription in its
capital market offerings, one of the clear indications that it is a good credit
risk as an issuer.
“We are always looking out for our clients.
To serve them in the best possible way, we constantly evolve our CG practices
to support the requirements of the changing business landscape, comply with new
regulations, and align with international best practices,” added Tan.
Corporate Governance Asia publishes news
and analysis on CG issues, boardroom practices, and shareholder activism. Now
on its 14th year, its Best of Asia Awards celebrates the success of companies
that adhere to the highest CG standards. Awardees have integrated effective
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices across their business.
They are also awarded for the quality of their management, their business
model, growth prospects, financial performance, and relative position in their
industries.
“Part of getting recognized entails the responsibiliy to maintain our performance and if possible, exceed it. We welcome this challenge in keeping with our We Find Ways service philosophy, knowing that our clients stand to benefit further from our improvements,” concluded Sy-Coson.
EXEMPLARY LEADERS. Teresita Sy-Coson, chairperson, and Nestor V. Tan, president and chief executive officer of BDO Unibank, Inc., were bestowed with the Asian Corporate Director Recognition Award by Corporate Governance Asia. Also during the 14th Best of Asia Awards, BDO was also given the prestigious Asia’s Icon on Corporate Governance Award and the Asia’s Outstanding Company on Corporate Governance Award.

7 things to know about the fastest selling smartphone under ₱6,000 on Shopee
The Redmi 7, the
latest budget smartphone from global technology leader Xiaomi, sold out within
30 minutes after it was put on sale last April 5 on Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in
Southeast Asia and Taiwan. This made the Redmi 7 the fastest-selling smartphone
under ₱6,000 on Shopee Philippines. To celebrate the record-breaking feat,
Shopee and Xiaomi will once again hold a Flash Deal for the Redmi 7 on April 10
at 2PM.
Xiaomi is known for smartphones with amazing
features at an affordable price and the Redmi 7 lives up to that standard. Here
are seven things you should know about this budget phone with a flagship-level
design.
Premium-style design
The Redmi 7 offers an immersive viewing experience
with its Dot Drop design and reduced bezels, that’s all Corning® Gorilla®
Glass. The case may be plastic but it feels premium in the hand, especially
with its stylish gradient back cover available in Comet Blue and Lunar Red.
Powerful processor
It runs on the Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM 632 mobile
platform and boasts of an Antutu score of 52520, outperforming other phones in
its price range. This gives the Redmi 7 support for a smooth gaming experience
and makes it great for daily use.
Infrared (IR) Blaster
The Redmi 7 comes with an IR blaster that turns the
phone into a universal remote to control devices and appliances. No need to
search the whole house for the remote control, just use the Redmi 7.
Palm Shutter
Selfies can be hard to take, but not with the Redmi
7. Use its Palm Shutter feature to conveniently take pictures. Just flash a
palm to the camera, like a high five, and the camera will instantly start a
countdown timer perfect for getting selfies or groufies on point. Users should
watch out because more gestures will be added soon.
4,000 mAh battery
With a 4,000 mAh battery, the Redmi 7 can last up to
15 hours of continuous video playback, 26 hours of voice
calls and an astounding 412 hours of standby time. Users can also listen to
3,778 tracks continuously on a single charge.
True dual sim tray
Many dual smartphones sport a hybrid sim card tray,
where only one slot is dedicated to a sim card, and the other is a hybrid sim
card-memory card slot. With the Redmi 7, on the other hand, users can have all
three running at the same time with its three card tray – two slots for sim
cards and one for the memory card. Perfect for people who want all their
contacts and data in one device.
Available exclusively on Shopee
Last but not least, the Redmi 7 is available exclusively on Shopee and will go on Flash Deal at 2PM on April 10, where the Comet Blue Redmi 7 with 2GB RAM and 16GB memory will drop its price to ₱5,599, and the Redmi 7 variant with 3GB RAM and 32GB memory will be sold at the lower price of ₱6,299.

Men can now rejoice that a product line is now available that will cater to men and their special personal care needs.
BAD LAB™ (or Brave And Daring Laboratory) products were made to revolutionize new dimensions in personal care for men that no other product in the market have done in the past
Boldly going where no other personal care brand for men has gone before, BAD LAB™ and its unique packaging sets it above the rest, with the animal concept (with reference to men’s inherent animal instincts), the non-use of a traditional model on the label to make it unconventional and creative, non-conformist, anti-typical, and the competitive pricing makes BAD LAB™ products more fun and endearing.
Revel in the BAD LAB™ range of products under 5 personal care categories for the “bad” man, all made good to make the bad look better. The BAD LAB™ Skin Care line boasts of a Facial Cleanser, Facial Scrub and Facial Moisturizer, Shampoo under Hair Care, Hair Clay, Hair Pomade, Hair Cream and Hair Gel for Hair Styling, Body Wash and Deodorant for the Body Care line, and the
Special 3-in-1, the Hair, Face and Body “Caveman Cleaner” that’s perfect for the bad or outdoor type of man who is on the go and looks for convenience like when traveling, going to the gym, or when doing activities outside his abode.
For BAD LAB™, it’s about using a variety of ingredients for its products to elicit the best results and benefits. BAD LAB™’s Face and Body products use Dragon’s Blood extract, a resin of plant extraction from the jungles of the Amazon to bring about skin rejuvenation. The Hair products’ active ingredient, Fluidipure™8G, helps deodorize bad body odor and controls dandruff.
There is also Silver Citrate, an anti-acne ingredient that bars inflammation and infections. The Blue Stone, on the other hand, reveals the skin’s natural radiance and provides natural nutritive minerals. Lastly, Cronodyn™ fights signs of skin fatigue while it tones and firms the skin.
More importantly, BAD LAB™ products are all certified “halal” by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM). It is the only government body in the world that has control over the implementation of Halal certification anywhere.
So break through the usual norm. As BAD LAB™ says, wash like a man and not like a girl because the day is out there and not in the bathroom. With its energizing, revitalizing and healing ingredients, BAD LAB™ products are totally “man-gineered” for the man, that the dirty can be sexy and the filthy can be clean in a few minutes.
When you use BAD LAB™, be ready to feel and look good.
