    Chooks-to-Go, Special Olympics roll out unified basketball clinic for PIDs and BAVI employees

    Chooks-to-Go and Special Olympics Asia Pacific have conducted a sports clinic for persons with intellectual disabilities (PIDs), their families, and employees of Bounty Agro Ventures, Inc. (BAVI), operator of the country’s largest roasted chicken chain.

    BAVI president Ronald Mascariñas and Special Olympics executive Kaye Samson open the inaugural Unified Basketball clinic under Chooks-to-Go’s “Kaya ‘Yan, Manok ng Bayan” program. Joining them are brand ambassador Kiefer Ravena and the FIBA 3X3 national team.

    The first in a series of activations nationwide under BAVI’s flagship corporate social responsibility program “Kaya ‘Yan, Manok ng Bayan”, the Unified Basketball Clinic saw more than 35 PIDs team up with their family members and BAVI employees as they went through a set of basketball-related games and drills.

    Chooks-to-Go brand ambassador Kiefer Ravena during the first leg of the “Kaya Yan, Manok ng Bayan” Unified Basketball Clinic.

    “This unified basketball clinic is our way of helping PIDs develop their sports skills as they gain self-confidence. For BAVI employees and other stakeholders, it is an opportunity to better appreciate the abilities of PIDs as they bond together through this activity and develop their camaraderie,” said Ronald Mascariñas, BAVI president and general manager.

    The unified basketball clinic was facilitated by Special Olympics and BAVI basketball coaches, including Chooks-to-Go brand ambassador, Kiefer Ravena. It was held at The Upper Deck in Ortigas Center, Pasig City.

    FIBA 3X3 national team players took time off from their hectic training to boost the well-being and confidence of the basketball clinic participants.

    Special Olympics executive Kaye Samson welcomed the sports clinic participants while Special Olympics powerlifting athlete and BAVI administrative assistant Henry Munarriz gave an inspirational message to his fellow PIDs and their families.

    The Kaya ‘Yan, Manok ng Bayan campaign is a year-long sports development and employment program that aims to benefit PIDs through nationwide sports fests, training sessions, and job recruitment activities to BAVI offices. The company hopes to offer at least 20 positions to qualified PIDs from Special Olympics Asia Pacific.

  • Vivo S1 Pro: Smooth moves to flaunt your style

    Vivo S1 Pro: Smooth moves to flaunt your style

    As the old saying goes, “the only constant thing in life is change.” These inevitable changes are most visible at the dawn of a new year—well, plans and predictions of these changes are at least. Incoming trends and styles call for a means to get ahead of the style game.

    Here are smooth moves and changes you can make to help you flaunt your style.

    Read up online

    With the digital age looming over humanity, the word “research” is no longer purely associated with Science, technology, and “unreasonable” college professors. Research is also key in maximizing your lifestyle. What goes with what, which fabric is best for what season, and which clothes are harmful for the environment, are some questions worth asking before purchasing new items for your closet.

    Follow celebrities and influencers on social media

    Speaking of following the latest trends, a way to get a quick fix of what’s hip and hot is following top celebrities and influencers on social media. These “fashion icons” work with top brands and designers so you would truly be updated on-the-dot through their beautiful pages.

    Try out upcycled accessories

    Perhaps a prominent set of movements that swept (and aims to sweep—literally) the world were initiatives geared towards saving and protecting the environment. Amp up your OOTDs and complement your wardrobe with recycled accessories. Not only will these waste-savers be eye catchers and conversation starters, it can be a small step which inspires a giant leap in protecting mother nature.

    Bank on the colour of the year

    Having trouble deciding what color to choose when purchasing new duds? Go for the color of the year, classic blue. This year’s pantone color wouldn’t be difficult to mix and match. What’s more is that this year’s featured color elicits a feeling of calm and serenity—emotions sought for given today’s noisy environment.

    Lose the wired earphones

    With a seemingly endless churning of wireless earphones products that started early last year, why would you still want dangling wires getting in the way of your style? Exude a fabulous lifestyle by walking as if you were in a music video without ugly wires drawing away the attention that your stupendous ensemble deserves.

    Get a phone that emphasizes your look

    After all the research and purchasing, all that’s left to do is to turn the world into a stage and flaunt your style. But what use would all the “ramping” be without a phone that not only matches your style, but also helps you capture all of you with flare.

    The Vivo S1 Pro is the perfect gadget to flaunt and explore your style. Its lavish colorway options, Knight Black and Fancy sky, go with any and every outfit. To top off its eye-popping exterior, the S1 Pro also sports a magnificent diamond-shaped rear quad camera set-up consisting of a 48MP main, 8MP secondary, 2MPwide-angle, and 2MP macro camera that perfectly capture “OOTD” shots. Its unparalleled 32MP front camera on the other hand, will help you take the perfect selfie thanks to its stunning quality and its AI posemaster (a built-in app which guides users into taking stunning selfie shots).

    Manufactured by the leading global technology company, the S1 Pro also brings about maximum ease-of-use with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor and 8GBRAM/128ROM enjoyed through a 6.38-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display.

    About Vivo

    Shopee’s in-app games were played over 1 billion times in total in 2019 .

    10,000 hours of content streamed on Shopee Live a day on average.

    Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, sums up an exceptional 2019 and outlines three defining characteristics for online shopping in 2020: Personalized, Engaging, Social. Shopee enjoyed a landmark 2019 as it pioneered industry-leading initiatives that transformed online shopping in the region. In 2020, Shopee will take its efforts to the next level by making online shopping more fun, customized, and interactive. 

    Martin Yu, Associate Director at Shopee Philippines said, “Shopee had an incredible 2019. We achieved new milestones by staying true to our vision of making online shopping engaging and social. This is proven by our successful in-app games and features which continue to delight millions of users daily. As e-commerce becomes the norm in the coming years, the next challenge is to make shopping online more personal and customized for each user. Shopee believes this to be the future of online shopping and we are committed to making it a reality.” 

    Shopee led the way for Southeast Asia’s e-commerce market in 2019 

    Shopee extended its market leadership in 2019, driven by its successful strategy to forge a social and engaging shopping experience. Fun is at the heart of the Shopee experience as its popular in-app games and features entertained shoppers across the region: 
     

    • Over 1 billion plays recorded on Shopee’s wide range of in-app games in 2019 
    • 10,000 hours of content streamed on Shopee Live a day on average 

    Sellers and brand partners also saw tremendous growth on Shopee in 2019. Sellers across the region experienced a steady increase in orders throughout the year, especially during the busy year-end shopping period. In addition, more brands and retailers joined Shopee to reach more customers, as the product assortment on Shopee Mall doubled in 2019. 

    Powered by its successful strategy, Shopee was crowned the number one shopping app in Southeast Asia and Taiwan by Monthly Active Users (MAU) in the second and third quarter of 2019. In addition, Shopee set new records during the year-end shopping season, highlighted by 80 million items sold in just 24 hours at its annual finale, Shopee 12.12 Big Christmas Sale. 

    2019 Highlights at Shopee Philippines 

    2019 was a fruitful and fulfilling year for Shopee Philippines, as it achieved several major milestones for users. Key highlights include: 

    • Provide non-stop entertainment for Filipinos: Celebrated the beginning of the Christmas season with its first-ever TV show, Shopee 11.11 Big Christmas TV Special. Millions of Filipinos joined in the fun to catch their favourite celebrities, including Alden Richards, Maine Mendoza, and Heart Evangelista.  
    • Announce Filipino Popstar Royalty as new brand ambassador: Sarah Geronimo joined in the fun to celebrate Shopee 6.6 – 7.7 Lowest Price Sale as Shopee brand ambassador. Shopee recorded millions of online views for its commercial with Sarah Geronimo for Shopee 6.6 – 7.7 Lowest Price sale.

    The future of online shopping: Personalized, Engaging, Social  

    Shopee foresees online shopping to be even more personalized, engaging, and social in 2020. In line with this vision, Shopee will introduce new platform innovations to bring users a fun and personalized shopping experience in the new year:  

    • Personalized shopping with data and artificial intelligence (AI): Shopee will deepen its use of AI and big data to curate a more personalized shopping journey for users. For example in 2019, Shopee leveraged deep learning for its recommendation engine to bring users customized shopping suggestions based on purchase and browsing data.  
    • Leveling up user-engagement with new in-app games: Shopee will also innovate its collection of in-app games to bring users more fun and entertainment. In the Philippines, Shopee rolled out its latest horoscope game, the 2020 Fortune Forecast, to mark the beginning of the new year and to allow Filipinos to read their fortune for the year ahead. 
    • Deeper social interaction on Shopee Feed: Finally, users in all markets can expect an upgraded social experience through Shopee Feed by the first quarter of 2020. Shopee Feed offers various social functions for users to create content and interact with friends, fellow buyers, and sellers on Shopee.  

    Yu closed: “I believe that online shopping should bring fun and joy to people. Everyone at Shopee is working hard to make shopping engaging, social, and personalized as e-commerce continues to evolve in our region. We are thrilled at what is to come in 2020 and we look forward to another fruitful year.”
