  • RGC/Uratex Group does its share in the continuing fight against the COVID-19 pandemic

    RGC/Uratex Group does its share in the continuing fight against the COVID-19 pandemic

    As part of its service to the nation and unwavering support to humanitarian efforts in these trying times, the RGC/Uratex Group of Companies continues to do its share in the fight to alleviate the suffering of many Filipinos during this pandemic.

    Just recently, the group lent a hand to the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) and the Metro Manila mayors’ humanitarian response to address the rapid spread of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). 

    In coordination with PRC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Senator Richard Gordon, the RGC/Uratex Group of Companies donated a total of 1,000 mattresses and two food trucks through RGC/Uratex Group of Companies Corporate PR Director Bigboy Cheng to the project being initiated by the PRC and the Metro Manila mayors.

    The project aims to add isolation facilities that come with complete services for COVID-19 patients. The facilities will have food trucks and food kitchens that will offer food for indigent/marginalized members of society who are in the facilities for treatment. The facilities will also have shower rooms, rest rooms and portable toilets that will be replaced daily to keep it clean and sanitary, plus ambulances on standby that will bring patients to available hospitals, according to Sen. Gordon.

    The donation of 1,000 mattresses was just an initial contribution by the Group to the overall effort. This week, the company turned over an additional 1,000 mattresses, for the use of the facilities under the project.

    “We would like to thank Senator Gordon, the PRC, and the Metro Manila mayors for giving us the opportunity to assist in their effort to ease the congestion in hospitals by providing mattresses for their isolation facilities. I believe that through the cooperation of different sectors, we will finally be able to combat the threat of COVID-19,” said Cheng.

    Providing assistance in several humanitarian activities has always been a part of the RGC/Uratex Group of Companies’ service to the nation. Last year, as the pandemic caused the issuance of several lockdowns and community quarantines, the Uratex/RGC Group provided support wherever it is necessary. It dedicated more or less 80 percent of its total Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) budget to COVID-19 response to show its #Malasakit and gratitude to the nation.

    Among the items donated by Uratex to hospitals and quarantine facilities in 2020 were mattresses, cut-away foam for face shields, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for medical frontliners, “Prone Pillows,” a customized pillow designed to help alleviate breathing issues of COVID-19 patients under a mechanical ventilator. There were also donations of COVID-19 equipment, cash and relief packages to employees, subcontractors and promodizers, who are very much a part of the Uratex business.

    Just recently, the company announced a vaccination program for all its employees within the Group. This is to assure that all its employees, and even their families, will remain protected against the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the COVID-19 disease as they continue to perform their work at the various Uratex plants nationwide.

    “As a company, we cannot just stand and watch while the country suffers. We thought we had to do something. #Malasakit has always part of the company’s DNA, which started from its founder, Mr. Robert Cheng. We are just continuing his vision of a ‘people-first’ philosophy, especially during challenging times like this,” Cheng added.

  • Shopee Allows Filipinos to Shop for Essentials Safely and Conveniently at the 4.4 Mega Shopping Sale

    Shopee Allows Filipinos to Shop for Essentials Safely and Conveniently at the 4.4 Mega Shopping Sale

    Health essentials were among the top products purchased by Filipinos on April 4

    Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, concluded its first 4.4 Mega Shopping Day and saw interesting shopping trends among its users on April 4. In the Philippines, consumers took the opportunity to shop for essentials at discounted prices, following the recent tightening of quarantine restrictions. 

    Shopee provided reliable and rewarding shopping experiences for Filipinos at home. Shoppers got to enjoy big savings while safely shopping for their needs, thanks to great deals during the 4.4 Mega Shopping Day. Filipinos stocked up on health essentials with one million medical supplies sold on April 4. Face masks were also particularly in demand and ended up being the top product sold. 

    Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “At Shopee, it is our goal to provide support in delivering daily essentials to Filipinos as they prioritize their health and safety. With the tightened measures affecting more Filipinos, we are glad that we are able to help Filipino consumers shop for necessities at the best value during the 4.4 Mega Shopping Day.”

    Highlights of Shopee 4.4 Mega Shopping Day in the Philippines

    In the Philippines, 4.4 Mega Shopping Day delivered unbeatable deals from a wide range of brands and sellers. At the Midnight Mega Sale held from 12am to 2am, Shopee saw 6 times more items sold compared to an average day. 

    Home & Living, Beauty & Personal Care, and Mobile Accessories emerged as the top-selling categories. Hygiene essentials and personal care items remained a top priority for shoppers. Storage boxes and 3D wallpapers became best-selling items, since shoppers bought more home decor and organizers for spring cleaning and refurbishing as they spent more time at home. Tech accessories also saw strong demand as Filipinos continued to work from home. Phone stands and headsets were especially popular as Filipinos focused on connecting better with their colleagues and refining their work-from-home set-up.

    Yu closed, “We are happy that Shopee has evolved as users’ go-to shopping platform for essentials. We will continue to cater to their evolving needs, while driving growth for sellers and brands during this time.”

    First Look: Celebrity Mom Nikki Gil-Albert Gives us a Glimpse of her Life at Home

    Nikki Gil opens up her home for the first time as she talks about how their life has changed during the pandemic. Not being able to go out to work and socialize, the celebrity-mom shares how she rediscovered her home by turning quarantine time into quality time for her family. Take a closer look and of her home in this exclusive video.

    A Shared Social Space for Home Entertainment

    Making the most of every opportunity to bond and connect, Nikki shows her favorite spot for the family to hang out – the living room couch. Doing different things and being entertained while still being together has become very special for her. “Someone would be binge-watching Netflix, I would be browsing Instagram, and my son would be on Youtube Kids. I like that while we are all doing our own thing, we are still together, we are still spending time together.”

    Working and Learning Anytime, Anywhere

    Showing her own corner of the house, Nikki shares that she has even enrolled in online art classes to rekindle her love for art. Along with hosting online events, checking important emails, and attending virtual social gatherings, she has really put her home office to good use with the internet playing a vital role for her daily activities. “I’ve realized that strong, stable internet connection has proven to be so important to me the past year. And I’m so grateful that PLDT Home has been so reliable and has been a partner in being productive and staying in touch.”

    Equipped with the new PLDT Home WiFi Mesh System, the entire household benefits from strong connections anywhere in the home whether they are using it for entertainment, online classes, web-based meetings, or even preparing meals and deliveries through the internet.

    Secure Parental Controls

    Another aspect of the PLDT Home Wifi Mesh system that is important for Nikki is the Parental Controls. “One of my most favorite features is the Parental Controls. I can block any inappropriate content or website that I don’t want my son to have access to. And, I can limit how long my son can use the device.”

    Whole Home Coverage

    Nikki and her family now enjoy seamless connection anywhere in the house without deadspot issues. The PLDT Home Wifi Mesh system supports 2.4 and 5 GHz capable of providing up to 800 Mbps in a seamless and wide-covering network. This means having a connection all around the home without any delays or deadspots. “You know how you’re walking around the house and you’re streaming something or talking to someone and it just disappears. This solves just that. Wherever you are at home you will have the same WiFi signal,” Nikki shares.

    Catch the full video here and discover how the new PLDT Home WiFi Mesh System can boost connections the way it has helped Nikki enjoy better productivity at home.
