    PCPPI, GMA Kapuso Foundation Promote Better Eye Health

    Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI) and GMA Kapuso Foundation come together for Sight Saving Month. Together with other private sector volunteers, PCPPI supports GMA Kapuso Foundation’s Kapuso 20/20 Eye Project last August 2023 (Sight Saving Month). Optometrists performed free eye check-ups among beneficiaries of the two medical missions held in Sampaloc Elementary School in Quezon Province and at the GMA Network Studio in Quezon City, Metro Manila. Volunteers and beneficiaries received Premier Purified Water as complimentary beverages during the event. Through this initiative, more Filipinos had better access to proper eye care and treatment.

    Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI) recently partnered with GMA Kapuso Foundation (GMA KF) for the Kapuso 20/20 Eye Project last August to mark Sight Saving Month.

    PCPPI donated 2,000 bottles Premier Purified Water, which were distributed during the two medical missions held at the Sampaloc Elementary School in Quezon Province and GMA Network Studio in Quezon City. The medical missions included free eye check-up and a short seminar, which benefited more than 200 participants. There were also 48 students from Sampaloc Elementary School who received prescription glasses during the event.

    The program aims at promoting eye health and care, in light of increased gadget and technology use, which affects one’s vision. Gracing the events were GMA KF Ambassador and Special Adviser Mel Tiangco and GMA KF Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer Ms. Rikki Escudero-Catibog.

    Premier Purified Water is PCPPI’s trusted water brand. With its clean taste and standard quality, it is a good drink for hydrating the body especially when engaged in several activities. It is available in 350 ml, 500 ml, and 1L (PET) in stores nationwide.

  • Things Only Financially Independent Millennials Can Relate to

    Things Only Financially Independent Millennials Can Relate to

    If you take advantage of online payments’ convenience and rewards, then you’re one of them!

    Were you born between 1981 to 1996? If you answered ‘yes,’ then you’re a millennial! Millennials experienced life before smartphones, social media, and the internet, while also living and thriving in the current digital age. Although millennials sometimes get an undeserved bad rap, this generation, in fact, displays high levels of maturity and responsibility—they’re socially aware, financially conscious, and tech-savvy.

    Do you consider yourself a financially independent millennial? Here’s a quick adulting checklist for all you independent millennials:

    You pay your household and utility bills on time.

    Tired of getting late notices for your bills? Now, you are more responsible with your spending and settle all your financial obligations on time. Through ShopeePay, you can pay for your utility bills right from the comforts of your home and enjoy up to 25% cashback. These include companies such as Meralco, Maynilad, Globe, Smart, PLDT, SkyCable, and many more.

    You have enough to give to your family.

    In Filipino culture, it’s considered an act of love and a way to show gratitude when children extend monetary support to their parents. With enough savings, you can give back to your parents by helping them financially and even have sufficient funds for yourself. Sending money to your loved ones is easy and free with ShopeePay. To transfer money, just click “Transfer” on your ShopeePay wallet and input the recipient. You can also make your transfers more special with themed virtual cards! Before transferring cash, make sure that your ShopeePay is verified.

    You have your own place.

    …and you’re way ahead of your rent. There’s nothing more satisfying than being able to afford your own place where you can relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Did you get a loan to fund your apartment’s security deposit? Through ShopeePay, you can settle your loans on time and with ease from third-party lenders such as Dragonloans, Home Credit, SkyPay, and Cashalo.

    You know where to find the best deals.

    You’re practical and are always on the lookout for the best deals out there. With ShopeePay, you can maximize discounts, cashback, and “Buy 1, Take 1” promos at thousands of partner merchants nationwide. You also don’t miss out on ₱1 deals which can be used for adulting essentials like groceries, food, and gas. ShopeePay partner merchants include Puregold, Potato Corner, Seaoil, Lawson, National Bookstore, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Tiger Sugar, and more.

    You donate to charitable causes.

    Another Filipino trait most millennials possess is generosity. Even with the global situation right now, you’re still giving towards others. ShopeePay lets you donate to these partner organizations: Caritas, Gawad Kalinga, GMA Kapuso Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Red Cross Philippines, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Save Philippine Seas, Save The Children, UNICEF, Virlanie Foundation, World Vision, and many more.

  • Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation steps up efforts to promote herd immunity against COVID-19

    Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation steps up efforts to promote herd immunity against COVID-19

    Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation (CLFI), the corporate social responsibility arm of Cebuana Lhuillier, partners with GoNegosyo on a campaign to actively support the humanitarian efforts provided by various private sectors. Their main objective is to help curb the impact of COVID-19 and ensure the health and safety of both community members and private sector employees.

    “Our participation in this campaign is in line with the national government’s efforts to address COVID-19. We believe that for us to combat this pandemic and keep everyone safe, tests and vaccinations shall be made available to the public, much more to our employees,” President and CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier said.

    In the early stages of the pandemic, CLFI purchased 20,000 rapid kits that were donated to 30 organizations, including national government agencies, public hospitals, various LGU’s, and other non-profit organizations. This joint effort paved the way for the community members in far-flung areas to be tested and checked for COVID-19.

    Cebuana Lhuillier likewise allotted kits for its employees, prioritizing their branch personnel who are the company’s frontliners. This has been the company’s practice up to this day since the onset of the pandemic in 2020.

    Through GoNegosyo’s private sectors alliance, CLFI was able to procure a total of 27,000 vaccines, which included donations to both the national government, as well as local communities across the country. This also included 9,000 vaccines for PJ Lhuillier Inc.’s own employees.

    “Ensuring the health and safety of our employees is part of our commitment to continuously provide financial services to the general public. Our goal is to be able to vaccinate 100% of our employees to assure our customers that they are safe while transacting at any of our branches,” Lhuillier adds.

    CLFI’s timely response to the COVID-19 pandemic, through its test kit donation formed part of the foundation’s Tulong Sa Pagbangon campaign, held in 2020. This initiative focuses on providing assistance to sectors severely affected by the pandemic, which included cash donations to partner organizations, relief packs donated in Metro Manila communities, and medical equipment and supplies donated to a number of public hospitals.

    SUPPORTING THE BACKBONE OF THE COVID-19 RESPONSE TEAM. Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation (CLFI) actively takes part in its own COVID-19 response by empowering healthcare institutions by further ramping up more tests and vaccinations. Present in the photo are, Jonathan Batangan, CLFI Executive Director (4th from the left) and Dr. Philip Estinar, OIC Assistant Chief of Clinics of Sta. Ana Hospital (5th from the right) together with CLFI employees and hospital staff during one of the Tulong sa Pagbangon campaign activities.

    CLFI also partnered with both GMA Kapuso Foundation and ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation to make use of Cebuana Lhuillier branches nationwide as donation remittance centers for its COVID-19 and disaster-related assistance programs.
