Time for LOVE in Guam this 2017!

Do you still need more reasons why you should go? Well here's 10 more!

It's a US Territory. There's 170,000 people out there and 30% are actually Pinoys.

Shop at Guam, it's only 3.5 hours away! Better than spending the same amount of time in EDSA.

It's a shoppers paradise, tons of brands, your girlfriend would want to do this eveb in one day! Like Amazing Race! Legit, none of those fake ones! Tax free!

Beauty and Beach, tons of shoreline, tons of water sports, expansive marine life!

History and Culture, they're also a melting pot and the nearby islands are real!

Golf. It's a mecca for the sport and you can do this as long as there is sun light! Pretty cool!

It's a MICE destination, do business trips like clockwork. It's easy and they have all the facilities.

Two worlds, World War 1 and World War 2 happened here so you'll see memorabilia plus real sunken ships in one place.

Run. There's an event every week, you can't escape it!

Shop Guam App. Yes they put it in one place with special deals just for you.

2017 is the year of love. Romance, dates, proposals? How about getting married? Well it's all here! #LoveGuam

Just go to Visitguam.com or check out their boot at the PTAA event this weekend in SMX Convention Center. They'll have performers ready. They have 3 airlines servicing the island, sometimes on sale. Last year they have been concentrating on getting you to experience things like the locals but this year it's about LOVE, love for shopping, love for play, love for diving, love for the beach and it's the ideal destination for the family.

CONVERSE Releases CHUCK TAYLOR ALL STAR II GUM

You and I love Chucks and we know that. But here's a little more reason to love them further as Converse Philippines release Chuck Taylor All Star II Gum. If you're thinking about that bubble gum you had when you were a kid (or maybe until now) that's exactly the material they use as rubber soles instead of the regular one we get from the tree. The material has the same grip and durability as with classic Chucks plus the super comfy Lunarlon insole which I so love! Now there's no more pain walking around because of that, plus you're getting premium canvass with a gum rubber side wall and toe cap which I'm sure design wise, you'll love. For added comfort, they also added padded non slip tounge on top so you always get the comfort you deserve.

Now you've got a choice, whether high cut or low cut, take a different look in these Converse Taylor All Star II GUM shoes in 3 colors. Black, Herbal or Obsidian, you'll get to mix and match with your  current wardrobe and still look cool any day, or any night.

It costs Php 3,990 and is available in all Converse stores nationwide. Check out all the CHUCK Taylor designs at www.converse.com.ph or Facebook.com/conversephilippines. This is #ConversPHxChuckIIGum!

Emerald City Now Showing on iFlix!

I am gazing at the lovely posters for the upcoming exclusive iFlix series called Emerald City. Yes this NBC universal original is being shown on the app 3-4 hours right after being shown in the US. Now that's not all, because it's better in the iFlix app because you can download and take it with you wherever you are so there's no boring day as long as you have subscription, let's play!

The series by the way is made by the same guy who did that all star cast Pepsi commercial (remember Beyonce, Enrique Iglesias etc.?) and this series is more of a modern but dark take on the original story of The Wizard of Oz! You won't have any shortage of mythical creatures, drama, dog whisperers and of course tons of MAGIC!

You'll get it from Lady Ev, Glinda, East, West, Eamonn, Jack and the Wizard of Oz... even Toto! You'll also see really good flying vehicles, pretty powerful magical assistants and beasts dropping from the sky. It's going to tell the story of Emerald City all over again, definitely not Kansas!

It's actually prettt good and I've started to make it a habit to check if there's a new episode out. If you haven't subscribed to iFlix yet, maybe now's the time to do that. You can also get a free trial, all you have to do is ask! It's available on the App Store, Google Play Store and on the web! You really have no excuse not to have it! It's also better with Smart!

P.S. They are opening in 8 other countries and with the love they've been getting, the databas is going to be BIGGER! I'm watching The Magicians tomorrow by the way! :) You should too!

UREKA Mega Manila Forum Brings MSME's to Digital Space

UREKA has landed in Manila, and this is good news for SME's.

"This is a wholistic thing that we want to do. The UREKA Mega Manila Forum is going to happen at SM Megamall Megatrade Hall on February 25. We know how there is a growing trend of mobile phones and we already have those ingredients, who needs a platform that would be able to sustain financial inclusion, so we could stay there. We hope to have the SME's benefit from it, to promote your own brand from Baguio, Cebu, Davao and now Manila. This is a mutual effort and team learning so we see the time to do it in Manila because we have partners coming in like Microsoft etc., in order to share our best practices and further enhance the relevance of UREKA and our partners." says Genaro Lopez the Executive Vice President of Union Bank Philippines. 

UREKA is a market place, Shopinas is included and any SME can get started on urekashops.ph as soon as they get to attend in the forum. 

PLDT SME Nation aside from being an enabler, they joined this to educate SME's in the rural places to change Filipino lives. They teach people e-commerce to bring them online so the Philippines won't get left behind. Our neighbors are already heavy and are contributing to their GDP so just imagine the possibilities to our country. We are trying to educate them to promote themselves through social media platforms and how we could get in touch with SME's. We have followed up with our previous attendees and we're asking them to open new channels so while they have physical stores, they could offer it online and support them in their businesses.

UREKA has gone to different cities first because they want inclusive growth and happen first outsuide the metro. This program will also entail help from the consortium members and the government agencies who are now providing services to help them grow. They also have students who they call e-cadets so they help teach the system, so they too can learn practical business experience while helping people with theories of commerce and the things they learned in previous forums.

It's important to provide relevant technology so owners won't get frustrated and this consortium would tell you the ins and outs so you could grow your business in a sustainable way. You will get to disturb giants, but you will understand the whole process with mature technologies and take advantage for affordable, available on demand services so you don't have to spend a lot for technology. Hopefully UREKA will get entrepreneurs to try new technologies, an end to end platform that they offer. You will be asked to bring a few things in the forum so you can get started right away. If you want to register, visit urekaforum.ph/registration and follow the steps accordingly.
