SM Mall in San Jose del Monte City in partnership with the Local Government Unit (LGU) has successfully achieved the 100% vaccination status across employees, agency staff, and tenant partners.
For the safety of its frontline workers and customers, and to stay true to its commitment to provide safe malling experience, SM City San Jose del Monte encouraged all its employees to get vaccinated against Covid19 and rewardingly became the second mall to hit the 100% vaccination status next to SM Center Tuguegarao Downtown.
“We are truly grateful for the strong commitment of LGU and the mall team, SM City San Jose del Monte is now 100% vaccinated. It is true that we can really be stronger and can achieve significant milestones if we will all work hard.” said Regional Operations Manager Lea D. Sta Ana. “We will remain committed in giving the community the safest shopping experience.” she added.
Last May 14, the mall became one of the LGU’s partner in inoculating those in the priority list. Then, the City Health Office started with just 400 vaccines per day. And now that there are more available vaccines, they were able to inoculate 2,000 at the most.
And since vaccines became available to category A4 or the frontline personnel in essential sectors, the mall management became the bridge to the city health and to its frontline employees who weren’t yet vaccinated to get their jab done, which includes the guards, janitorial services, sales clerk, affiliates and tenant’s staff.
Regardless of this achievement, SM City San Jose del Monte will continuously and strictly implement the minimum health protocols such as wearing of face mask, face shields, social distancing, washing of hands, and bringing their own handy alcohol or sanitizers.
The rainy season may be a sweet relief from the hot and humid Philippine weather, but with it comes laundry troubles because there’s hardly any sun for clothes to dry. With the possibility of the kulob smell becoming all-too-familiar during this time of year, Midea, the world’s largest producer of major appliances, shares practical tips to prevent this and keep your laundry smelling fresh and clean even during the rainy days:
Make use of spin dryers. Because drying your clothes in the sun is not always an option during rainy season, using the washing machine’s spin dryer is your best bet as it makes wringing your clothes—to dry quickly—easier. If you’re looking for a durable washing machine that can withstand heavy laundry load, Midea’s new line of Twin Tub Washing Machine is a great option. With key features of dual force pulsator and durable body, Midea’s new washing machine line offers four variants so there’s a model to suit your wash load needs: 7kg Twin Tub (P8,295), 9kg Twin Tub (P9,995) and 11kg Twin Tub (P11,595), and 13kg Twin Tubs (P14,995). Additionally, with only P1 per wash, Midea’s Twin Tub Washing Machine consumes less electricity, which leads to greater cost savings.
Leave space for clothes while drying. When you’re done washing, don’t place your damp clothes too close or over one another as it will only delay drying time and result in an unpleasant damp smell. Be sure to leave enough space between clothes to dry evenly and naturally.
Hang in a well-ventilated room. When you have no choice but to dry your clothes indoors, use the spin dryer a couple of times and hang them in a portable drying rack. To help them dry even more quickly, make sure you can hang them in a well-ventilated room.
Use fabric conditioners. Fabric conditioners help avoid the damp odor smell on clothes. However, this does not compensate for deeply washed clothes. Before using your preferred fabric conditioner, make sure to pre-soak your clothes with detergent or vinegar and baking soda for at least 30 minutes to remove stains and smell on clothes. Iron your laundry. If you find that you still have some damp clothes left, another option you can do is to iron your clothes dry. You can even use scented wrinkle release sprays to further ensure that your clothes smell clean and fresh.
No need to worry about kulob-smelling clothes during this rainy season. With these tips and a little help from Midea, you can have fresh-smelling and clean clothes all-year long.

The current global situation brought about significant lifestyle changes: more people are working from home, consumers are shopping online for their convenience, and business owners are transitioning to online and e-commerce platforms to stay afloat. Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, shares three sellers who found success online with Shopee and how they are preparing for the much-anticipated 9.9 Super Shopping Day.
Obra Ni Juan: Supporting Employees and their Families
Obra Ni Juan, a local clothing store, halted their operations inside a leading mall when the pandemic hit. They decided to shift to online selling to continue their business, launching their Shopee store last June 2021. Obra Ni Juan started to make their products available to a bigger and wider audience while continuously generating sales even with their physical stores being closed. “Because of Shopee, our employees are able to continue providing for their families despite these trying times.”
They are content with the Shopee Seller experience as Shopee provided them with an assigned Incubation Manager who guides them through the onboarding process and supports them in maximizing the different tools they can use to increase sales and foot traffic. With 9.9 approaching, Obra Ni Juan says, “We are bolstering our stocks for our existing products and we have been continuously preparing new items and designs to offer to our Shopee customers. We will also utilize other Shopee marketing incentives such as free Shopee Ad Credits; which leads to clicks that are converted to actual sales and continue to utilize the available marketing tools to scale our business.”
Cleanstar: Building Customer Loyalty
Cleanstar is a one-stop shop for all dental floss needs that supplies affordable, innovative, and high-quality dental floss pick products. During the early stages of their business, they saw Shopee as an opportunity to extend their reach. “By regularly attending the online webinars organized by Shopee and accessing helpful resources on educational hubs, we managed to set up our Shopee online store. The key is utilizing everything that Shopee offers and to just be consistent in what you are doing.”
Cleanstar leverages Shopee Live and In-App Business Insights the most. “Through Shopee Live, we can discuss our product line to our customers and also educate people regarding oral health which helped us gain more followers. Through In-app Business Insights, we also get to monitor the overall performance and health of our store through data and inform us on which aspects we can improve on, and allows us to reply to customers’ feedback about our products. It’s really humbling to see the growth in our follower numbers, and how they give feedback every time they order.”
With the number of orders they were receiving, Cleanstar eventually decided to hire a team just for fulfilling Shopee orders. This coming 9.9, Cleanstar is preparing its stocks early to fulfill orders without the hassle. They also put up ads on the site to improve the visibility of the products.
Martipaps Gift Shop: Increased Daily Orders
Martipaps Gift Shop started selling on Shopee in 2016. They sell various kinds of toys from building blocks and toy cars to mini kitchen sets and pop-up tent playhouses. In the past, they used to do meet-ups and pick-ups, but it took up too much time. “The time spent on doing meet-ups was transformed by selling on Shopee because of its free shipping and Shopee guarantee. A door-to-door cash-on-delivery service where buyers can feel at ease with their purchase. Martipaps saw an increase in sales as they managed to save time on doing meet-ups to focus on managing their store on Shopee.”
Ever since joining Shopee, her orders grew from one shipment a day to about 100 packages daily. She encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to try being a Shopee seller. “Start small. Start from the things you love, because if you love what you are doing you will never get tired of it. You will look for more exciting things, improvements, and additions to make your shop better. Utilize all the tools that Shopee offers – they are like helping hands that can support us to succeed in the online selling business.”

When Colet Raya and her husband Gelo enlisted the help of Sun Life financial advisor RJ Montes for their insurance and investment needs, little did they know that he would also be the key to fulfilling their dream business.
“The first time I got insurance from RJ, na-feel ko na kaagad. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, okay si RJ,” Colet said. “And I was right. Through the years, he stayed talaga with us. Today, I have 10 policies with Sun life – for me, my husband, and for my three children.”
RJ’s advice proved crucial when the couple came across an opportunity for them to venture into build-and-sell. As interested as they were in pursuing the business, they had no idea how they could fund it without sacrificing their financial priorities.
Fortunately, they had in RJ an advisor who was not only on top of their financial plans, but also makes an effort to constantly check in on them. When he learned about Colet and Gelo’s plans, he presented the idea of using the earnings from their investment-linked insurance plan, which has grown over the years, to fund their business venture.
“Sobrang sarap ng pakiramdam kasi natuloy yung business nang hindi kami na-gipit,” Colet shared. “Yun ang gusto ni RJ – ang magamit namin yung mga naitabi namin kasi nag-earn na, at hindi lang hintayin ang maturity ng policies. We can still enjoy it in the present.”
For his part, RJ credits Colet for her openness to his advice as they collaborated in ensuring their financial preparedness. “The fruit of their investments allowed for their business to rise,” he said. “That’s the beauty of what we do as a Sun Life advisor. We help clients realize their dreams by being financially prepared.”
The couple is one of RJ’s many clients within the Raya clan. The relationship stems from RJ’s very first client, who was the father of Colet’s husband. Accompanied by his parents who are also Sun Life financial advisors, he presented to the Raya patriarch as a young and rookie financial advisor, and successfully earned his trust and loyalty. Since then, RJ has been a partner of the entire Raya clan for their insurance and investment needs and had been a long-time financial advisor to Colet’s family.
Knowing fully well the benefits of having a Sun Life financial advisor, Colet encourages others to partner with one as well. “RJ is not just our financial advisor. We have a personal relationship as well,” she says. “Like our family, everyone deserves to have a partner for life.”
RJ and Colet’s story are among those featured in Sun Life’s latest campaign dubbed “Part of Your Life, Partner for Life” as featured on https://bit.ly/2021partnerforlife as well as Sun Life’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/sunlifeph) and YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/sunlifeph).

GCash, the country’ss number 1 mobile wallet company, is the top financial technology brand to be included in the Top 100 Brands in the Philippines, according to Campaign Asia-Pacific and NielsenIQ. GCash is also one of Asia’s top 1,000 brands 2021.
Asia’s Top 1000 Brands is a consumer opinion survey across 14 markets in Asia-Pacific and measures brand preference in 15 product/service categories. It shows brands that are succeeding with their marketing and brand-building efforts and reveals the favorite brands among consumers. This year’s study saw the changing consumer behavior among brands and their increasing digital services.
The leading e-wallet made it to the list while also hitting an exponential growth of 46 million users in June 2021, from 20 million users in January 2020. The app also had over 13 million log-ins per day on the GCash app, peaking at 15 million in the second quarter of 2021.
With its vision for financial inclusion for all, GCash has quickly adapted to the needs of the Filipino people by being a digital payment essential for individuals and entrepreneurs, especially during the pandemic. The top mobile wallet company worked with the government and became its financial aid tool, disbursing over P16 billion to more than 2 million Filipinos and raising over P21 million to more than 3 million Filipinos via digital bayanihan.
“We are honored to be part of the top brands in the Philippines and in Asia. This award further inspires us to continue with our mission to empower as many Filipinos as possible by giving them access to digital financial solutions that can make their lives better and more convenient especially during this pandemic,” said Martha Sazon, President and CEO of GCash.
No other fintech brand made it to the top 50 of the prestigious list, where the ranking of GCash rose from the previous year’s 51st spot to this 24th in the country in 2021. Among the high-ranking brands in the list are Samsung, Apple, LG, Sony, Panasonic, Nike, Nestle, Google, Colgate, and Starbucks.
GCash’s leap in the list can be attributed to strong consumer spending via the app: This year, GCash processed an average of PHP 300 billion in monthly transactions, and is on track in breaching its PHP 3 trillion Gross Transaction Value (GTV) target.
GCash also provides customers an easy and secure cashless payment platform through digital products and services like free money transfers from user to user, frictionless bank transfers, and bills payments. The mobile wallet company also offers businesses, especially MSMEs, a contactless way to accept payment for goods through the use of QR codes and P2P platform, which has empowered over 2.5 million GCash merchants and social sellers.
Currently, a third of GCash’s monthly active users utilize at least one of the app’s digital products like GCredit, GSave, GInvest, or GInsure. GCash provides customers easy access to a pre-approved credit line to pay for bills or QR transactions with GCredit, safely deposit money with GSave, easily invest in a market fund with GInvest, and buy essentials on GLife. With the health risks of the pandemic, GCash also offers customers COVID-19 health insurance for as low as P39 a month via GInsure.
“We are glad to see that GCash has become an extension of the Filipino digital life. It is our goal to democratize access to financial services because everyone deserves to have ways to protect and grow their money, especially during these difficult times,” said Martha Sazon, GCash President and CEO.
GCash was recently named as an “Outstanding Partner” by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas at the agency’s 2021 Stakeholders Appreciation Ceremony. The recognition is for GCash’s continued support and commitment to deliver innovative financial solutions to all Filipinos, especially the unbanked and underbanked segments.
GCash also garnered two awards from the prestigious Asian Banker Awards 2021, and was the sole Philippine fintech company to do so. It won awards for the “Best Financial Inclusion Initiative/Application” for its Social Amelioration Program together with the Department of Social Welfare and Development, and “Best Digital Brand Campaign” for its CSR response to COVID-19, further solidifying the company as the #1 e-wallet app in the country.
Many Filipinos have come to rely on GCash for their daily cashless payment transactions, helping sustain the economy during the pandemic and propelling the mobile wallet to becoming one of the most respected and widely used brands in the Philippines. According to Visa’s latest Consumer Payment Attitudes study, Filipinos using digital commerce platforms like GCash helped boost the usage of digital payments in the country. It was also expected that it will continue to grow as more Filipinos appreciate the benefits of contactless payments like GCash during the pandemic.
ShopeePay, Shopee’s all-in-one e-wallet, expands its network of partner merchants. ShopeePay is now accepted at over 50,000 locations nationwide to cater to the evolving needs of the Filipino consumer, allowing users to enjoy a seamless and convenient experience when it comes to cashless payments. With this, ShopeePay adds merchants such as Lawson, Lander’s Central, UltraMega Supermarket, and Tiger Sugar to its roster.
