Casio Partners with Toyota Racing

I've been witness to several Toyota Racing events in Japan (remotely) and in the Philippines. Hearing how passionate people are in the sport makes me feel so good knowing they get to show Toyota Motor Corporation's knack in motorsports and it's development. Now there are big brands supporting them for the same reason, and one of them is Casio Computer Co., Ltd. via their best Casio EDIFICE watch which they are gearing for global promotion.

You can see how they have shared values. They do innovation like no other, they also use tech for their advantage and showcase it by providing EDIFICE to Toyota Racing team during the FIA World Endurance Championship Season. Both brands will also be displayed proudly on the cars, a sight to behold!

For those who didn't know, they were previously known as Toyota Gazoo Racing. The rebranding is a new beginning, which makes sense as it is going to be easier to recall. Casio also treats this as a new level of joy and hopes more people get to know EDIFICE especially for those who are into motorsports and high performance time pieces.

A Thriving Community: SKIN2CONFIDENCE Where Skincare Meets Makeup

Creating connections amongst like minded individuals feels so good. You get to form friendships, a sense of community, and the thought of learning from each other brings inalienable happiness. An event called SKIN2CONFIDENCE: Where Skincare Meets Makeup (their 2nd batch) happened last February 7th. This was organized by Pretty Skin and Lamelin, it was attended by some of the country's leading dermatologists, pharmacists, KOL's and partners to discuss the exciting world of Korean skin science and what Filipinos need.

Initially, they meant to just talk about it, but formed strong bonds as days go by. They had Pretty Skin & Lamelin Korea Founder and CEO Jung Bung Sub to talk lengthy about the science of skin, the discipline to take care of it, and the trends this year. Mr. Jun Gamo also shared his thoughts on Filipinos battling it out with the elements once they step outside the sweltering heat of Manila. 

Leading the way are Mayton Eugenio and Celebrity Make up-Artist Florence Vergara

The Importance of Education Before Confidence

The brand sent Korean representatives Joo Hoang and Junlee Hyeob to also talk about their formulations. From the Lamelin 2% NMN and PDRN line to the Pretty Skin B5 and B3 line, the explained the process on now hydration and other factors work. They also got the help of Dr. Mara Capirosso to talk about skin concerns to debunk myths and how to take care of it. They also had Dr. Finesse Evangelista share her experience with clinical work and its results. Hands on workshop with the gorgeous Grace Lee had them do demonstrations using the Lamelin Camella Line to address dry skin, and how they could layer to get the best results. Florence Vergara also taught more about the new Pretty Skin Makeup line. People really felt education comes first before getting the confidence that comes with it. Brand Global Ambassador Katrina Santos from Pretty Skin & Lamelin made sure they didn't go empty handed and prepared products and GC's so they too can achieve the SKIN2CONFIDENCE experience. 

Ms. Cathy Gamo reiterated the importance of not just introducing their products but elevate standards, learn from each other, show trust and do it together. They had the first one done last January 14th, and the second installment grew its crowd with even more healthcare pros, more partners and consumers too. They're equally excited about Batch 3 which they plan to do on March 20th of putting their community first before profits, guided by the wonders of science and the folks who have supported them. 

Everyone is invited on this date to make skincare education accessible. Make sure you follow the Pretty Skin & Lamelin social channels as they're going to post details about it there. See you at the 3rd SKIN2CONFIDENCE sessions!

Safe, Fair and Balanced Recreation with 0KGames

 

The year 2026 calls for more ways to make entertainment not just accessible, but more responsible for Filipinos. Leading brand 0KGames not only is taking this matter seriously, but also wants to change to make things even more safe, fair and balanced for each one of us. 

For quality time, discipline, they're taking a stance in all their events beyond entertainment. They've got tools in the app so you wouldn't get overwhelmed with it. They've got tools to get you to stop when you need to, in hopes of making self control a norm. 

They plan to even make it more clear, to tell you go stop and make it their advocacy going forward. Enjoyable yet responsible, doing it without worrying to use your brain when needed. 

This certainly goes together.
