    Personal Collection Becomes First Direct Selling Company to Win Gold Asia Pacific Tambuli Award for Sustainability and Corporate Purpose

    Personal Collection Direct Selling, Inc. just had yet another historic win not only for the environment, but also for the Philippine direct selling industry.

    The Filipino-owned company that pioneered the shift from recyclable packaging to biodegradable packaging for consumer goods became the first direct selling company to win the gold award for Asia Pacific Tambuli Awards new category, Leaders for Sustainability and Corporate Purpose Division. Personal Collection is also the only direct selling company recognized among esteemed corporate giants at the prestigious APAC Tambuli Awards held at Grand Hyatt Manila last June 6, 2023.

    Established in 2005, the Tambuli Awards recognizes businesses and brands that live out their purpose and contribute to the common good in society, including Personal Collection’s #GreenLifeGreatLife movement.

    The #GreenLifeGreatLife movement highlights Personal Collection’s unparalleled efforts in being the first Filipino-owned company that transitioned from recyclable packaging to biodegradable packaging for its consumer goods. It also emphasized the organization’s goal to care for the environment through CSR initiatives and awareness campaigns among stakeholders, including its numerous active dealers from more than 450 branches spread all over the Philippines.

    Commitment to the future

    First launched as a single business idea, Personal Collection has since grown to provide hundreds of thousands of Filipino dealers across the country with the opportunity to live a Great Life through earning opportunities and superior, value-for-money products, and services. Two years ago, the company embarked on a bigger journey to build a more sustainable future for Filipinos with the #GreenLifeGreatLife Movement that aims to reduce plastic waste in the environment.

    The #GreenLifeGreatLife Movement has had other big wins since it was launched in June 2021. As a responsible sustainability leader, Personal Collection has transitioned more than 80% of its products to biodegradable packaging as of May 2023.

    Through continuous collaboration with agencies such as the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the proactive participation of its dealers, Personal Collection was able to plant 55,400 trees and over 190,000 mangrove seedlings to help protect the country’s air quality, reduce carbon dioxide, and preserve ecosystems. Simultaneously, the company has collected 30,000 kilos of plastic and other types of wastes from coastlines and estuaries.

    The company likewise reached more than 110 million people through awareness campaigns, taking the next step to educate more and more communities about the need to protect the environment.

  • Believe it or Not, These Shots are Taken by the HONOR Magic5 Pro!

    Believe it or Not, These Shots are Taken by the HONOR Magic5 Pro!

    The newest flagship phone from HONOR Philippines, the Magic5 Pro, is finally in the country to prove its impressive Camera System that earned its Global Top 1 rank from DXOMark in Q1 of 2023.

    Manila, Philippines, June 21, 2023 – Packed with a wide array of camera specs, HONOR Magic5 Pro, the latest flagship phone from HONOR Philippines, boasts an impressive Camera setup that is perfect for both photography professionals and enthusiasts. It features a Triple Rear Camera System consisting of 50 MP Wide Camera, 50 MP Ultra Wide Camera, and 50 MP Telephoto Camera, rightfully earning its Global Top 1 DXOMark for Camera performance for the First Quarter of 2023.

    “Filipinos love taking photos, and our newest flagship delivers top quality shots and snaps, and even video clips that are at par with those taken with professional cameras. It’s no question why the HONOR Magic5 Pro was well-received upon its launch and is continually getting the recognition it deserves within the Philippine tech market,” said Stephen Cheng, HONOR Philippines Vice President.

    Capture high-speed moments with high-quality shots

    HONOR Magic5 Pro debuted its all-new Millisecond Falcon Capture Algorithm, which enables users to shoot dynamic scenes with ease. Partnered with the phone’s AI Motion Sensing Capture, even the most complex movements are captured vividly and sharply. Below are some shots that perfectly demonstrate the power of this flagship’s HONOR Image Engine:

    Zoom in and out with HONOR Magic5 Pro

    HONOR Magic5 Pro’s 50 MP Periscope Telephoto Camera and 50 MP Ultra Wide Camera allow for zoomed in shots that capture even the most minute details of a certain subject. Both cameras work in getting close up shots, the Ultra Wide module doing so at about 2.5 cm away, while the Telephoto node at nearly 30 cm away.

    The phone’s optical zoom enables users to shoot distant objects without fully compromising or hurting the quality of its snaps. Videos can be shot at 10x zoom, while photos can be captured at 100x zoom level. It also offers Focus Lock for easier framing, ensuring that the subjects of your zoomed in shots are clearly highlighted.

    Elevated Night Photography Experience

    HONOR Magic5 Pro excels in low-light photography, thanks to its Super Night Capture capabilities. The photos taken in this setting are in crisp quality, and none of its contrast, exposure, and saturation get compromised – an issue that many photography enthusiasts suffer from every now and then. Even in Ultra Wide settings, HONOR Magic5 Pro’s Night Capture capabilities still deliver quality and crisp shots, displaying realistic and lively image color outputs.

    Shoot Videos Like a Pro with HONOR Magic5 Pro’s Movie Mode

    HONOR Magic5 Pro is equipped with IMAX Enhanced Movie Master to produce cinematic-style videos, taking users’ videography experience up a notch. It offers 4K video recording at 60 fps, and what probably sets this smartphone apart from others is its impressive LOG mode – making post-edit color grading easier and more accessible. Check out this mini-tutorial from Cinematographer Ryan Audencial, who was highly impressed with the smartphones’ Movie Mode and video-taking capabilities.

    Overall, the HONOR Magic5 Pro proves to be worthy of its Global Top 1 rank in Camera Performance for the first quarter of 2023 from DXOMark. On top of its impressive specs – such as its IP68 water-and-dust-resistant rating, the smartphones’ Triple Rear Camera System makes photo and video taking easier for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

    Pricing and availability

    The smartphone, available in Meadow Green and Midnight Black, retails for Php 59,990 both via HONOR Philippines’ offline ( https://bit.ly/Magic5ProStores) and online stores  in Lazada (https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.hsr3z), Shopee (https://shope.ee/1LApXmPIen), and Tiktok Shop (https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSLN2DNm1/). HONOR Magic5 Pro may also be availed via Home Credit for as low as Php 1,718 per month without insurance, Php 2,085 with insurance, and on a 0% interest installment payment.

  • Philippine Ballet Theatre open their 37th season with a brand-new full length Filipino ballet entitled “Ibalon”

    Philippine Ballet Theatre open their 37th season with a brand-new full length Filipino ballet entitled “Ibalon”

    Philippine Ballet Theater has a mission to relay age-old tales of the Filipino people reflecting our country’s culture. They aspire to create and perform stories deeply rooted in our heritage. PBT will open their 37th season with a brand-new full length Filipino ballet entitled “Ibalon”. Lifting from the well-known Bicolano epic “Ibalon”, Artistic Director and Choreographer Ronilo Jaynario focuses on the love story of Handyong (The Warrior) and Oryol (The Cursed Creature). Jaynario emphasizes that his choreography is a reimagination of a love story against a backdrop of Philippine mythology. Indulging in creative liberties he created nuances and plot twists to make the story a powerful display of love in movement. He hopes to leave his audience captivated with colorful dances inspired from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

    This story will be luxuriously told with original music by Paulo Zarate. Zarate explains that in creating the music, his approach was an exaggeration of what the music would have sounded like in ancient times. Filipino instruments in that period were more percussive and rhythmic. He took this into consideration but added bold and moving melodies, incorporating details of Filipino elements that he researched on, to make the music more epic. Zarate wanted to create music that would have a theatrical or cinematic effect on the audience, pushing them at the edge of their seat in excitement or sweeping them into the love story of Handyong and Oryol.

    Matthew Davo as the warrior Handyong and Eloisa Jessa Tangalin as the cursed princess Oryol will take you on a voyage into the heart of our culture and history. With PBT’s rising stars, the story telling of our ancestral stories will come alive with music and dance.

    Together, Jaynario and Zarate wanted to leave a lasting imprint in Philippine Dance history. Nobody talks about old Filipino stories anymore, but creativity can change that. Something new and something old can create beautiful captures of our culture. PBT’s “Ibalon” runs from July 28, 2023, to July 29, 2023, at the beautiful Samsung Theater. All proceeds from July 29 will benefit the fundraising campaign for the 65th Anniversary of the Ramon Magsaysay Awards.
