  • SOLANE Ignites Change, Partners with Rise Against Hunger Philippines

    SOLANE Ignites Change, Partners with Rise Against Hunger Philippines

    Why SOLANE Ignites Change and Partners with Rise Against Huger Philippines?

    FUELING HOPE, ONE MEAL AT A TIME. SOLANE and Rise Against Hunger Philippines team up to bring warm, nutritious meals to communities in need.

    (TONDO, MANILA – PHILIPPINES) SOLANE, the country’s leading LPG brand, is proud to announce its recent partnership with Rise Against Hunger Philippines (RAHP). This collaboration is part of the company’s CSR initiatives, where they aim to provide nutritious lunch meals to underserved communities across the country.

    FIGHT AGAINST HUNGER. Through this partnership, SOLANE provided 500 nutritious lunch meals to individuals in need within the Barangays 101,105,106,128 & 129 Zone 8 District 1 in Tondo, Manila, demonstrating their commitment to alleviating hunger.

    “Solane has been very active in CSR activities since the start of our operations in the communities where we operate. From feeding programs that cater to our less fortunate brethren to imparting our expertise by providing safety trainings on the handling of LPG to the grassroot levels said Dennis Palomar, Public Affairs Officer, Isla Group Corporation.

    ALL FOR ONE. Solane, Rise Against Hunger Philippines, ERDA Foundatio, Inc. and the local government of Barangay 106 in Tondo Manila collaborated to orient residents in the proper and safe use of LPG gas.

    With regards to their partnership with RAHP, Solane has been a staunch supporter since the first quarter of 2024. The company has also donated free Solane LPG refill vouchers, and last November 15, Solane sponsored a mobile kitchen project that served as an extension of RAHP’s food banking program.

    📷“Barangay 106 is located in Tondo, Manila, a very crowded community where fire incidents occur frequently, largely due to houses built with light materials. These factors make the community highly vulnerable to fire disasters. Through Solane’s CSR initiatives, residents participated in a learning session on the proper and safe use of LPG in their homes. This education equips them with the knowledge to prevent fire incidents caused by unsafe LPG usage, ultimately fostering a safer and more responsible community” said Arlene Castro, RAHP representative.

    FOR THEIR PEACE OF MIND. A total of 250 parents attended Solane’s orientation on the safety of LPG.

    Solane has been actively promoting the safety use of LPG, particularly by partnering with Local Government Units (LGU), because the company believes that beyond their quality products, there has to be a peace of mind to all their customers who are patronizing Solane LPG. And this is what it sets them apart from other brands in the industry.

    “All of our CSR efforts are done hand in hand with LGUs. Local collaboration is key in coming up with relevant programs that is valued by the community similar to our Bgy 106 project also in collaboration with Rise Against Hunger” said Palomar. In the past, people approached LPG safety with indifference thinking all brands are the same. Thru the collective efforts of Solane, the communities, government agencies like BFP and DOE people now have increased awareness on LPG safety thru our product knowledge seminars in the barangays. It is a continuing education effort and has made Solane synonymous with safety, reliability and peace of mind”, added Palomar.

    Aside from RAHP, the company’s recent CSR event in Tondo also included beneficiaries selected by Educational Research and Development Assistance (ERDA), Foundation, Inc.

    EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES. Solane will continue with their CSR efforts as they reach out to communities that will benefit from their orientation in learning the safe use of LPG.

    “We are very fortunate that over 250 parents attended this worthwhile event where it teaches the members of our community on how to properly manage and use LPG gas to avoid accidents to happen” said Dolor Cardeno, Executive Director, ERDA Foundation, Inc. “Marami ang nakinabang sa ating event ngayon dahi lsa orientation na ibinigay ng Solane para sa utilization at taman gpaggamit ng LPG para sa kaligtasan ng bawat pamilya na gumagamit nitoMalaking bagay ito dahil ang mga magulang na kasama natin ngayon ay sila ang nagluluto ng pagkain. Ang mga bigay ninyongorientation ay magbibigay sa kanila ng sapat na kaalaman sa tamang paggamit ng LPG upang maiwasan ang mga aksidente tulad ng sunog”, added Cardeno

    Safety, reliability and peace of mind are in our DNA and part of everything we do. We are strong advocates of safety and as such our CSRs are crafted around these principles. We do have regular CSR programs with partner communities/organizations to ensure sustainability and relevant social impact.

    This partnership between SOLANE and Rise Against Hunger Philippines underscores the power of corporate social responsibility and the collective effort to address hunger and malnutrition in the country.

  • Return to Office? Safety Reminders Before Leaving Home

    Return to Office? Safety Reminders Before Leaving Home

    Solane gives easy tips to keep everything safe and secure even while you’re away .

    You’ve planned your commute, prepared your work bag, and are ready to return to the office. But after spending the last few years safe at home, have you thought about how to keep it safe when you leave?  

    To help you feel secure while out, here is a list of reminders for your place to watch out for: 

    • Watch out for running water 

    Nobody wants to come home to a flooded house. Make sure all faucets and showers are turned off to save on your water bill and any damage to your furniture and gadgets.  

    • Check for any unsecured doors or windows 

    Ensure windows, doors, and any other openings are all locked and closed before heading to the office. Leaving any opening is a tempting invitation for theft. Securing your home means nothing will be out of place when you get back. 

    • Unplug small kitchen appliances and gadgets that don’t have to stay on  

    Leaving your gadgets and appliances plugged in the entire day could use up unnecessary electricity, sometimes called “phantom power”. Taking just an extra minute to check on your devices can save on your electricity bill, reduce any likelihood of a power surge, and avoid possible damage that could come from overheating or overcharging.  

    • Make sure your LPG valve is off 

    It is important that you turn off your LPG valve before heading out. Letting the gas seep out the entire day puts your home at risk as the slightest spark will cause an explosion or house fire. Checking that the valve is closed and that all your burners are off can prevent any accidents from happening while at work. 

    While accidentally leaving the LPG tank is more common than you think, Solane tanks with the A/S valve (de salpak) that come with a snap-on auto shut-off feature ensures that the valve closes even if you forget to do it yourself. 

    It may be easy to get careless when you have so many things to think about or when you’re rushing to work. However, keeping the home safe and secure is a lot easier if you get the right products in the first place, especially in the kitchen.  

    Tanks from authorized Solane LPG dealers have gone through proper safety checks to ensure that they keep your gas and your home safe. Additionally, Solane always performs their 7-point Safety check to make sure that the unit you received via Solane LPG home delivery is installed properly in your kitchen.  

    To order Verified Solane LPG, customers may call the Hatid Bahay Hotline – (02) 8887-5555, send a message to 0918-887-5555 (Smart) / 0917 8977555 (Globe) or the Solane Facebook page, or place their orders through the Solane app.  Customers may also place an order through the Web Ordering Platform.
