Huawei Philippines, BDO, DepEd Push Improvements in PH Educational Materials

Good things happened during the first week of December as BDO Foundation, the Department of Education and Huawei Philippines joined forces to work in the development of learning materials that would include key subjects in teaching Science and Math in different schools around the country. This is part of the efforts of the BDO Unibank's social responsibility arm to improve learning materials and have it accessed online and offline.

Witnessing the event was BDO Unibank and BDO Foundation Chair Teresita Sy-Coson, BDO Foundation President Mario A. Deriquito, BDO Foundation trustee Lucy Co Dy, DepEd secretary Leonor Briones, DepEd Undersecretary Diosdado San Antonio, DepEd Undersecretary Tonisito Umali together with Huawei Philippines very own Vice President Daniel Guo.

They signed an agreement to implement a program in the country that will involve searching for best learning materials that includes key concepts of Science and Math. It's a competition that where public elementary and high school teachers will be pitted against each other to find out the best learning modules in these subjects. Secretary Briones lauded the efforts of BDO Foundation and Huawei Philippines as they support these projects. With shared advocacies in the foundation, and working together with regards to ICT infrastructure and devices, this will benefit educators and learners in the future. They are also pushing for financial education and wish to include it in DepEd's K-12 program soon.

Level Up Your Ham Recipes This Christmas with MEKENI

I love Christmas dinners and if that doesn't involve ham, I might be thinking twice about doing that. It's time with family, and having one of the most expected dishes on the table will make it complete. But what have you done with the ham so far? Just slice it and serve right? Well, the folks at MEKENI Food Corporation have a better idea. Time to jazz up your Christmas Ham recipes with them today!

Christmas Ham with Honey Glaze and Pineapple

This will blow your socks off as you mix meat, sweetness from honey and the fruitiness and tangy-ness of pineapple. Simmer 3/4 cup of honey, a cup of pineapple juice, 2 teaspoons cornstarch to make a flurry, a quarter cup of water, 6-8 flour tortillas, shredded lettuce, pineapple chunks and salsa. Combine the honey and pineapple juice, mix cornstarch and water, whisk together till no lumps appear. Use the glaze with 500g Mekeni Deli Premium Ham and serve with the cooked flour tortillas (toast it each side for a few seconds). Think of it like a different kind of taco, like a Christmas version of it. Trust me, it's good!

Christmas Fries

 

If you haven't tried it, don't say it's not good, so basically you're going to make fries out of the 500g MEKENI Pear Shaped Ham. Just cut it into lengthy bite sized pieces, roll it in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Fry for a few minutes til it gets golden brown. Take it out of the fryer and sprinkle salt on it, dip in salsa or cheese sauce to make it even better. You'll love it because I've done it quite a number of times during the holidays.

There are tons more that you can do with the Christmas Ham, you just need a lot of patience, a little work in the kitchen so you can come out with a very imaginative dish that your family will love for generations to come. MEKENI knows you can give these recipes a try, so make the celebrations more meaningful with a MEKENI Ham on the Noche Buena table this year. Get them from Mekeni Home2Home Delivery, Mekeni Food Outlets and wet markets near you, I'm going to wait for Christmas to come before I take a slice of this! :) Happy Holidays!

BIGO Live Set to Hold 1st Philippine Annual Awards Gala

Looks like BIGO Live is celebrating in a grand way as they hold the first ever BIGO Live Philippines Annual Awards Gala this coming December 23rd at 8PM. This streaming platform has entertained countless Filipinos and connected us to various content creators across the world.

This time, the locals will be given their well deserved recognition especially since hosts, users, agencies and partners have always gotten the community alive and kicking all these years. It will be given to three categories particularly The Host Awards, The Agency Awards, and The Family Awards. Live performances are also going to be seen as The Top Performer of the Night, The Best Team of the Night and The Best MC of the Night will be determined from it. It'll also be done via votes specifically during that day so if you've got someone you love, it's the best time to show your support.

A new innovation will also be launched called "Virtual Love 3D Avatars". Pretty sick to see how this will pan out as this may change the way BIGO Live will work especially in the realm of VR, AR and content creation in the platform. Make sure you are there on December 23, as I'll be watching too!
