Foundations Address Hunger, Sanitation Needs in Eruption Stricken Areas

There is still prevalent hunger in the country and we have to address it. Aside from that, there is a deep concern about sanitation especially when the uneventful things happen. Recently, BingoPlus Foundation took initiative in bringing in over a thousand groceries, food packs and sanitation kits for evacuees in Negros Occidental because of the eruption of Mount Kanlaon. This was done with local government officials of La Castellana and the Nikki Cares Foundation. 

This was in support of the First lady's "Lab for All" medical program where BingoPlus Foundation organized volunteers and logistics in a medical mission for a little over 8000 indigents in the region. They also did this for those in General Santos City, giving 500 folks needed flu vaccines specifically in Purok Mapailubon, plus necessary sanitation facilities to be utilized by different barangays in the area.

They also launched and funded a Dressmaking Training Center for residents of San Isidro, together with their government partners TESDA and DOLE. This is through their KabuhayanPLUS livelihood program which has several projects across the country. This is part of their Barangay Bigayan initiatives which addresses community issues whether it is for service, health and infrastructure needs. They are also moving to put in something for emergency preparedness rather than just doing post disaster responses. This is why DigiPlus President Andy Tsui wants to do in every emergency they have to go to. This is their vision for BingoPlus Foundation which he heads.

The MacPower x Pioneer Insurance Event

We're no stranger to Pioneer and how they have developed affordable insurance services in the country. They have several branches in Metro Manila but quite a few know that they're actually easy to see online too. They've launched a couple of months ago the Pioneer Insure Shop at https://shop.pioneer.com.ph/ and I was lucky enough to experience getting covered there for an out of town adventure, much more apt for those who are into outdoor sports or extreme sports as they call it. Now it's easy to get everything with a few clicks if you need Travel and Health insurance. 

Here's some snippets from the event:

Oh and if you're going to Europe soon, you might want to get their Travel Light package which costs very low than industry standards, and even go the mile helping you with Weather Reports, Health Precautions, Immunizations, Required Visas, Interpreter Referral, Lost Baggage, Lost Passport Assistance, Embassy and Consular Information. That's already an arm and a leg of service but they're practically giving it for a low amount, you should call if you need that soon. If I only knew they had it I would have taken it for my folk's Ireland trip. Anyway, I'd probably call 7505433 next time or email them if I decide to push through with my trip (perhaps later this year).

There were a ton of us there during the event. We had fun talking to Pioneer executives and their team, plus the people from MacPower. MacPower Marketing Corporation is an IT and Accessories distributor in the Philippines that carries tons of brands in their arsenal. Whether it's audio, video, or just about anything that you can stick in your phone, they have it on their silos. You may get them in Switch stores, selected 7-11 outlets metro wide. Aside from that, I took interest with the ones they brought in the event. Take a look at these!

The Lumee case, the ultimate selfie tool used by Kim Kardashian and their whole family! This just looks so good no matter what the condition your lighting is. Costs around 3K for the iPhone 6 case and about a few hundred more for the iPhone 6 Plus.

This Wetsuit Impact case makes your phone almost indestructible, like a 30lb weight won't break it, and even makes your phone hella waterproof. Or maybe that's another case lol.

The Belkin Family Rockstar leaves you with tons of space for your other gadgets to charge in. The 4 port usb charger just rocks in my books. I didn't get one during the contest and I was a little sad LOL.

The good news is, MacPower is selling some of their gadgets together with the Pioneer Insurance coverages so when you buy something from them, you get to go out on adventures while you're covered for FREE. Now that's good news by any standard. To know more about Macpower, please check them out at https://www.facebook.com/MacpowerPH. Hopefully soon we could get some of their devices reviewed here too as they're very eager to lend us some of their wares. Now I'm extra excited! 

Thank you Pioneer and Macpower Marketing Corporation for having us in your gathering! It was a pleasure meeting you all!

Mega Global: Enriching Filipino Lives, One Can at a Time

Mega Global (photo credits to Mega Global FB page and not mine).

This June, a company committed to deliver relevant, up to date and quality products is celebrating their 40th year anniversary. You probably have one or more of their canned merchandise in your home right now but half awake thinking they actually were the ones to manufacture it. Mega Global Corporation, the one who makes Mega Sardines, Mega Creations, Valley Farm and Oh My Ulam! brand of products just struck ruby this 2015 and they're letting you know how much they appreciate your continued patronage of their food products which is distributed here and elsewhere in the world.

Mega Sardines is now in an easy open can. This means, when you go out and travel with the people you love, you don't have to bring a can opener to enjoy it. It's sweet as the sauce is made of ripe tomatoes. This is just one of the things Mega Global produces in their plant. They happen to have the means to can the fish within a 12 hour process. From the sea to the can, unbelievable right?

Mega Global also thought that you should enjoy other things aside from Sardines. They made other varieties like Mega Creations in Natural Oil and Spanish Style. The one in Natural Oil is light, perfect for filling hot bread. My personal favorite is Spanish style, being a person with Spanish lineage makes me naturally love things this hot. Confession, I had 2 cups of rice with it! Super good!

Keeping with the times, Mega Global also has Valley Farm which is a line of food products like luncheon meat. They have it in Tocino Style without making it expensive like the other brands we know. They also encourage to mix this up with other things so you can create other dishes, a feat that makes you decide countless things to make with a single can. See the possibilities? Exactly.

For the fast lifestyle, there's "Oh my Ulam!" which you can easily have with hot white rice. I can even imagine it now. Pork cutlets in adobo flavor, or lechon paksiw that's truly legit, you can even serve this breakfast, lunch or dinner and go away with it. There's no need for cooking too so you save precious time. I tried this the other day and I must say, it changed the way I look at canned food. It doesn't have to be expensive, it just have to be as special as this! 

You see, Mega Global doesn't just manufacture food products and can them... they actually change the way we see food getting preserved, served in meals and have the convenience of just opening a can instead of preparing the whole enchilada. It's convenient, it's fresh, and can save lives in tough times. Mega Global brings in quality that Filipinos here and abroad only deserve, and they've been doing it all these years. It is my wish that in the 40 years that they've been here, they continue to innovate and make us get the best food products in the market, more success in the coming years as they enrich our lives, one can at a time. 

I'll be in your celebration this week, hope to see the people behind this brand in June!
