The Spartan Ambassador Program

Spartan ambassadors are athletes who inspire others to get off their couches and race.

Over the years Spartan Race Philippines has been fortunate to have a strong and solid roster of ambassadors and this year is no different:

Spartan Race Philippines in the Now Normal

While people anxiously await the steady return of competitive racing amid the pandemic, its role and meaning continues to change during these trying times and moving forward. Racing is more than just an entertainment. It is more than just an escape from reality. Spartan Race, like most other races, is a platform for change. A platform to further the conversation. A platform to help, inspire, educate, and guide. With the help of our new roster of Ambassadors and Pro Team, we would like to be ready to open races in the Now Normal. The mentality to wait and expect things to go back to as it was before is over.

We need to switch our gears and prepare a plan to bring back races and galvanize people, to give hope, and to continuously train to become better humans.

Steps to keep stress levels at bay while working-from-home

For over a year now, many people have been cooped up at home, juggling the responsibilities of home and work. Without a clear line between the two, life at home could get overwhelming and stressful. Don’t let stress take over your days.

Here is a four-step recipe for managing stress while working from home.

Maintain a routine

A routine helps you manage your time for work and your family. Start by setting a schedule for your main tasks for the day. This will help you establish a rhythm that works best for you, and let you identify and get rid of what doesn’t work. A routine also serves as a reminder that you are still in control of your life and whatever happens in it, regardless of how many last-minute requests and changes come in between.

What should a routine look like? It’s as simple as having a warm cup of coffee and getting dressed in the morning. Doing either of these two, or even both, can be the first step in creating a structure in your days.

Prioritize taking a break

Back-to-back virtual meetings can be draining. The so-called Zoom fatigue is real, and it can impact your motivation to work while at home. Apart from virtual meetings, tasks tend to pile up in no time, just like before the pandemic. So, take a break.

It may be easier said than done, but you need to take a break from your screen, and that includes your phone — even just a 10-minute break could help. Or try setting aside merienda every day. In doing so, this allows you a momentary breather from the busy schedule, step away from stress, and gather your thoughts.

Move around

Exercise has always been helpful in keeping you alert, stress-free, and healthy. Keep moving to keep going every day. A 10-minute yoga routine, a 15-minute run, or a 30-minute workout — any of these things can help you lower stress levels, and prevent eye strain, stiffness of the muscles, and even headaches.

Try any activity that lets you keep your body moving and helps your mind drift away from negative vibes. What matters is you’re up on your feet.

Eat healthy

Keeping a healthy diet should always be a top priority. Don’t let stress or WFH fatigue get the best of you and your health. Of course, maintaining a healthy diet is easier said than done. But you can start by eating by taking vibrant and colorful meals to get the important nutrients that keep you strong and healthy.

What matters today is consuming food that boosts your immunity, just like the C2 Plus Immuno-C, an orange-flavored drink that combines the power of Vitamin C and Zinc to help strengthen the body’s immune defenses. Keep the stress levels at bay by staying awake, alert, healthy, and on top of your WFH game. Boost your immune system and grab C2 Plus Immuno-C at the Go Robinsons website from the safety of your home.

Shopee and the Department of Health Team Up to Encourage Filipinos to Get Vaccinated

Through this partnership, Shopee and the Department of Health aim to raise awareness on the importance of COVID-19 vaccination through education

Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, partners with the Department of Health (DOH) to promote education about COVID-19 vaccines through in-app and social media initiatives. As the Philippines aims to vaccinate 70% of its population within three to five years, this partnership between Shopee and DOH augments the concerted effort of the private sector and local government units to encourage Filipinos to get vaccinated and protect themselves and their loved ones against COVID-19.

While the local government rolls out COVID-19 vaccination programs, the vaccine hesitancy rate among Filipinos continues to increase, going from 47% in January 2021 to 61% by the end of the first quarter. They remain resistant to the vaccine due to three key reasons: concerns about potential side effects, uncertainty about efficacy, and skepticism.

Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “Shopee is honored to partner with the Department of Health to educate Filipinos on the importance and benefits of vaccination. Through our collaboration with DOH, we can provide the community with accurate and science-backed vaccine information. With proper education, we aim to raise the public’s awareness and hopefully encourage more people to get vaccinated.”

Beverly C. Ho, MD, MPH, Director IV, at Health Promotion Bureau DOH, said, “This partnership symbolizes what we, in the Health Promotion Bureau, want to do—meet people where they are and make living healthy easy. That’s why we are thankful to use Shopee’s platform, one that effectively reaches and engages millions of Filipinos, to make RESBAKUNA reach a wider audience. The immense potential this partnership holds, not only in increasing vaccine confidence but in improving overall health literacy among Filipinos, truly excites us.”

Starting this month until August, users can learn more about vaccines’ safety and effectiveness from DOH and World Health Organization representatives. On June 23, 9:00 PM, users can watch a discussion on “Fake vs Fact on COVID-19 Vaccine Safety and Efficacy” on Shopee Live. Shopee will post helpful information about the vaccines on its official social media pages. A separate microsite will also be available on the Shopee app.

P&G and Shopee Collaborate to Encourage Fair Division of Household Chores in Latest #ChallengeTheChores Campaign

Procter & Gamble partnered with the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia Shopee, to launch its latest campaign as part of this year’s International Women’s Day. Titled #ChallengeTheChores, this campaign responds to the global call for us to challenge gender stereotypes by fostering a sense of joint responsibility within the household and encouraging family members to team up and tackle household chores together.

The campaign will be progressively launched across five Southeast Asian markets, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam, featuring a series of challenges that aim to inspire families to take on household chores together, such as doing the laundry and attending to a child’s needs.

Since Covid-19, 75% of caregiving chores have fallen on women, with several extra responsibilities and commitments added to their already busy lives. To further illustrate the importance of addressing this need for shared responsibility, the campaign will feature a video of how household chores can be equally divided and tackled together.

Alexandra Vogler, P&G e-commerce Senior Director, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, said, “P&G is deeply committed to equality and inclusion. Through this campaign, we want to raise awareness of the imbalanced distribution of chores. Through an entertaining short film and an interactive, gamified experience, we hope to inspire people to #ChallengeTheChores and drive greater equality within households.”

Shopee also found that women are the most active shoppers on the platform in product categories such as household and other fast-moving consumer goods. As e-commerce becomes more prevalent, Shopee looks to leverage its platform to encourage meaningful conversations through a fun, personalized, and interactive experience for customers.

Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “We are proud to partner with P&G, a world-leading FMCG brand, on this meaningful initiative. Besides encouraging families to take on equal responsibilities of household chores, we also seek to provide our users with a wide assortment of products to make everyday household chores convenient and manageable. We look forward to launching more of such engaging campaigns with P&G that would enrich the shopping experience for our users.”

During the campaign period, shoppers in each market can look forward to various activities and exclusive content that will inspire the whole family and help them rediscover the fun of tackling household chores together. These include live streams featuring Key Opinion Leaders on their challenges when tackling household chores and how they teamed up with their partners to overcome those challenges. It also includes exclusive in-app activities to snatch up special deals and win prizes and the classic Shopee Catch game to collect as many P&G products giveaway or vouchers as possible.

The #ChallengeTheChores Campaign will run from March 17 to March 19. For more information about the campaign and the best deals and promos, visit https://shopee.ph/m/pg-super-brand-day.
