Foundation Begins Relief Efforts

Typhoon Kristine didn't just pass by, but left thousands of families ravaged where 148 individuals lost their lives across the Philippines, quite hard to see especially families, with names to their faces til today. DigiPlus Interactive's social arm Bing0Plus Foundation just recently released over 37 Million pesos of aid which includes a quarter of a million pesos for those who experienced losses, sent to the bereaved families. Initially it was only for 39, but things worked out with the Foundation and DSWD, the social welfare arm of the Philippine government.

The turnover was witnessed by the PH First Lady, DSWD Undersecretary Pinky Romualdez, and DigiPlus' very own Chairman Eusebio Tanco. They met with Governor Hermilando Mandanas of Batangas, Vice Gov Mark Leviste, Mayor Nestor Natanauan of Talisay, Mayor Albie of Bacolod and Celeste Jovenir the COO of Bing0Plus Foundation. 

Time is of the essence, and while those who are affected by the typhoon move to recover from this calamity, they have these private firms to help them support over 750 families, even more that the previous 100 Million pesos they got to do for various programs in livelihood, healthcare and education. They are also working with other local organizations to make sure they empower them in different Plus Centers, especially those that are in Central Visayas and Gensan, where they have committed help increase a more sustainable way to do things especially work in these communities.

There's also another typhoon up North Luzon and it looks like it is also affecting a lot of people, here's praying nothing would happen to the folks out there. Follow the pages and channels to know more about the various initiatives they've started, there will be more!

Valda Pastilles featuring Rico Blanco

Valda Pastilles has been taking care of us since 1902. From it's early years, they have been having rounds of soothing and cooling cures for sore and itchy throat. They have been here since the galleon trade I hear and the perfect thing to have this time is a collaboration with him and Valda Pastilles in the Philippines. He represents a refreshing brand with a new look, a new feel and he's also going to come out with new commercials this month. 

"It's really the product, we all have experiences taking this. From the time I tried it up until now, it's a no brainer for me. It's a well loved brand, a heritge product and I use it" says Rico Blanco.

"The track they used for the advertisement is actually a real song. The core of the song is getting soothed, if you're having a tough time, and if you hear this... everything will be alright. That's how I want people to think of it. He wants this to be his most chill song, not perfect but that's his goal..." he adds.

As for his music, he's going to release more in the digital front other than making an album. He's not going to wait and just release it right away because he doesn't want people and his music to get stagnant. He thrives to have it now, and that's what we got after the interview. Check this out!

He's glad he's part of Valda Pastilles now. They're even planning to have huge events real soon. You better watch out for that!
