In this new normal, food delivery riders are modern-day heroes, working day and night to deliver our favorite meals quickly and safely to our doorsteps. They come in all shapes and sizes too—some ride on motorcycles, some on bikes or e-scooters, and some even deliver on foot! Traversing our streets is already a challenge, let alone with food deliveries in tow, so these delivery heroes deserve a hero’s welcome—and a big thank you—from us customers.

For users of leading online food delivery platform foodpanda, the perfect way of saying “thanks kuya/ate rider” is now available on their app: rider tipping!

Just like placing an order through the app, giving a tip on foodpanda is fast and easy, as users simply need to input the amount before checking out their order. According to Marogy, the rider tipping feature was launched just in time for the holidays last December, and the feature is here to stay.

What’s more, 100% of the tips go to the riders’ accounts, as even the transaction fees for transferring the amounts will be shouldered by foodpanda. “We are one with our customers in saying “thank you” to our thousands of Ka-Panda riders all over the country, and we will continue to find new ways of showing our appreciation,” Marogy said.

 Shopee seller couple proves how love, teamwork, and trust fuel their successful business and strengthen their relationship

Rommel and Ajima’s goal of funding their dream wedding and honeymoon turned out to be the start of a full-scale business that transformed their lives

Having your life partner by your side through the good times and the bad is one of life’s greatest delights. While many believe that it’s not a good idea to start a business with your partner, the young couple behind the Shopee store  BuyMore_Ph proves it can work. Rommel and Ajima’s inspirational love story and Shopee journey are testaments to how teamwork, trust, and communication can lead to success in their personal and professional lives.

Blossoming of the relationship and the beginning of their Shopee journey

Rommel and Ajima started selling on Shopee in 2017 as a newly-engaged couple looking for a side hustle to fund their wedding and honeymoon. In their early days on Shopee, they would sell trendy items such as lip tints and ready-to-wear clothes for men and women.

They admit that it was not easy at first but what helped their business succeed was  to tap into  the current trends. The couple explained, “sumasabay kami sa uso para maka-attract ng customers at nagiging open kami to more variety sa shop namin para mas marami talaga bumili.” [“We had to ride on the trends during that time to offer customers with a wide variety of items that they would be interested in.”]

The turning point of their business happened in 2018 as their shop continued to perform well and more Filipinos began to embrace e-commerce. Rommel, then an IT specialist, and Ajima, a licensed tax consultant, made the crucial decision to quit their jobs and become  full-time Shopee sellers. It was daunting, but the couple remained optimistic. After all, now they have more time together as they run their business. “Parang cheesy siya pero sa totoo lang mas masarap talaga mag work kung may goals kayo hanggang pagtanda,” shared Ajima. [“It’s quite cheesy but honestly it really feels so good to work with your partner when you have shared goals until you grow old together.”]

Growing together as husband and wife and business partners in life 

When asked what their secret was, the couple says it’s learning how to manage their emotions, in and out of work.  Rommel shares “Natutunan namin ihiwalay ang emotions sa trabaho as much as possible [“we learned to compartmentalize our emotions when it comes to the business], and we’re still learning everyday how to improve that. Hindi namin hinahayaan na mangibabaw ang emotions” [“we don’t let emotions get the best of us”], to which Ajima agreed and said, “More than husband and wife, we’re partners in everything”

Their relationship wasn’t the only thing that grew due to their business. They also grew as individuals, becoming more empathetic and decisive in handling their employees was something new to the both of them. With their success, BuyMore_Ph has been able to grant invaluable opportunities to working students and individuals who lost their jobs due to the pandemic, and even some who were unable to finish their studies, especially during these more challenging times.

Rommel, who is more soft-spoken one among the couple, learned to go out of his comfort zone and lead his employees. “Hindi talaga ako masyado makausap sa tao, pero kailangan kong kausapin sila isa-isa para alamin kung ano ang problema.” [I’m not a very talkative and outspoken person but I had to learn how to talk to different kinds of people to resolve issues.]

The couple recognizes the huge role their employees have in the success they’ve achieved. “Super thankful din kami sa kanila kasi nakahanap kami ng tao na may concern din sa kung paano namin pinahalagahan yung business namin,”  [“we’re very grateful to have found people who value our business the way we do”] Rommel said.

Inspiring other couples to be persevering and entrepreneurial  

The seller couple advises other Shopee sellers to not give up and to trust the process. There may be times when certain strategies don’t always work, but Rommel and Ajima believe that sticking together and enjoying the journey will ultimately reap rewards. Ajima reminds couples who also dream of becoming entrepreneurs to play to each other’s strengths and complement each other’s weaknesses,“kung ano kulang ng isa, napupunan ng isa.” [“whatever one lacks, the other will make up for”]

Rommel and Ajima never expected their once small goal of earning extra income to become a life-changing opportunity for them, their family, and their employees. BuyMore_Ph is now one of the top-selling stores on Shopee with over 1.9M followers. In a few months, Rommel, Ajima, and their almost one-year old baby (who was born during the 5.5 rush of 2021, no less) will move into their dream house. They continue to oversee more than 40 employees and the operations of their warehouse, as they venture into more ways to expand their business this 2022.

This is the ground-breaking declaration of Panasonic Air-Conditioning Philippines during its February 11 Air Conditioner Convention, as it unveiled to press and dealers the big news about nanoe X  Generator Mark 2, a new level improved innovation of the nanoe™ technology.

Panasonic Communication & Product Planning Manager Francis Serrato, President & Chairman of the Board, Mr. Yasushi Kondo, and PACPH Vice President Mr. Tomohiro Yamada are joined by Mr. Gary Valenciano during the press conference

Through a virtual conference attended by 200+ press and dealers, Panasonic revealed research results on nanoe™ – it has been proven to inhibit four types of novel coronavirus variants – Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta in a 45-liter test space (with size of 350mm×350mm×400mm), in as fast as 2 hours by over 99.7%.

This breakthrough news in health and wellness will in effect, provide hope for Filipinos to make their homes and business spaces safer and more sanitized for kids, elders, and working individuals.

 

From home to business: A safer environment indoors is a must for Filipinos

UNMASKING THE NEXT BIG THING THIS NEW NORMAL

In 2021, Panasonic conducted a test with a third-party organization and confirmed the effectiveness on each of the 4 variants (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta). Given this, nanoe™ can be expected to have an even stronger inhibitory effect on novel coronavirus variants. The company again conducted a verification in view of the status of the spread of viral infection.

What were the research results? Here's the gist:

Panasonic Corporation has verified the inhibitory effect of nanoe™ technology with benefits of hydroxyl radicals on four novel coronavirus variants, namely Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, in collaboration with the Japan Textile Products Quality and Technology Center (QTEC) *¹.

In the same event, Panasonic announced news about the nanoe X  Generator Mark 2 which produces 9.6 trillion hydroxyl radicals per second – a level up in eliminating odors, inhibiting pollutants, and moisturizing skin and hair. That means, this new technology is two times stronger in performance versus the current nanoe^TM X (4.8 trillion hydroxyl radicals per second). This also means that the nanoe X  Generator Mark 2 may inhibit the novel coronavirus faster and stronger.

Panasonic revealed that nanoe X  Generator Mark 2 is present in these products:

Panasonic X-Premium Split-type Air Conditioner (2022 model)

Panasonic Ceiling-Mounted/Exposed Air Conditioner (2022 model)

 Panasonic Adaptive Ducted Air Conditioner (2022 model)

The X-Premium Inverter Split-type model comes with iAUTO-X feature, temperature and humidity control, built-in WiFi adaptor, perfect for residential or home use.

The new Inverter 4-Way Ceiling Cassette comes with wider flap to produce powerful and 360° airflow that could reach long distance of air throw. ​

Meanwhile, the new Inverter Ceiling-Mounted model comes in a slim design of 235mm thickness, improved installation flexibility and airflow that could reach long distance of air throw.

Lastly, the Inverter Adaptive Ducted type model comes with a low noise level for a common indoor ducted type. It has improved installation flexibility that can be mounted either vertically or horizontally, depending on the AC application and requirement of the users – a first in the Philippines.

Related to this, Panasonic Manufacturing Philippines Corporation shared that it has been exporting nanoe™ X-equipped Window-type Inverter Air Conditioners in Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is also in Hong Kong (Shokukanken, Inc.) where an inhibition test featuring the Window-type Air Conditioner model showed that nanoe™ X has an inhibitory effect against adhered influenza virus (H1N1) over 99.9% in 2 hours.

A Better Life awaits Filipino families who choose to make the smart choice with Panasonic

 A Better Life, A Better World, Always

For the past 20 years since 1997, Panasonic has been conducting research on this technology, and has verified its effectiveness in a variety of areas, including inhibiting pathogenic microorganism (bacteria, fungi, and viruses) and allergens, breaking down PM 2.5 components that have adverse effects on the human body *².

It has also committed to pursue the potential of nanoe™ technology and verify its various effects to continuously contribute to society.

Alongside the research, Panasonic remains proactive in playing a key role in ensuring safer and healthier spaces of health and educational institutions by providing them with much-needed Panasonic air solutions such as Air Conditioners, Portable nanoe™ X Generators, and Air Purifiers all equipped with nanoe™ and nanoe™ X technology – aligned with its thrust of providing Filipinos with A Better Life, A Better World.

Staying at home most of the time pushed me as mom to come up with healthy yet yummy and enjoyable recipes for my family.  My kids love snacks and to be honest, some snack items we buy in the supermarket can be either too sweet or too salty.

So as a mom who puts her kids' wellness as her priority, I make sure I give them healthy snacks.  The best way to be sure is to prepare it myself.  One of their favorites is Potato Wedges.

You read that right!  Potatoes for snacks!  I think potatoes are underrated by some.  We use lots of potatoes for our dishes and snacks because they are really a healthy bunch of produce!

Benefits of potatoes:

• It's an excellent source of vitamin C
• It's a good source of potassium (more than a banana!)
• It's a good source of vitamin B6
• Fat-free
• Sodium-free
• Cholesterol-free
• Only 110 calories per serving

This 2-year pandemic has forced many of us to stay at home and cook more often than usual.  Personally I am taking it positively because it just means I get to spend more time with my family at home, I get to see them more than I used to when we all could go out and spend hours at work, and I can personally prepare meals for them.

Food is what makes the whole family happy.  Food is what bonds our family as well!  We love to cook and we love to eat as well!  My kids and I also bond over kitchen pretend play or culinary online games as well!  We love the challenge and the excitement each time we play cooking games.

Speaking of culinary games, I am so glad I discovered culinaryschools.org/ which is a website that offers a collection of culinary-related online games.  As a parent of young kids, I still supervise their gadget time and online gaming.  The games that we've tried so far on culinaryschools.org/kids-games are educational, encourages critical thinking, helps develop strategic planning and organizational skills, and many more!

Sharing with you some of our favorite games on that website!

GUESS THE WORD

Guess the Food is a simple spelling game where kids are given letter tiles to place in the correct order from left to right to spell the food pictured above. The default game is quite short as it only has 4 levels and a player can skip a level if they are unsure of the answer.

What we like: It helps improve kids' vocabulary and spelling.  It's educational and challenging as well.  It's recommended to kids ages 5-7.

Play the game here: https://www.culinaryschools.org/kids-games/guess-the-food/

TAP SUPERMARKET

Tap Supermarket is an isometric game where the player must manage a grocery store including restocking produce, expanding the line of goods sold, and checking out customers. As you proogress through the game you can unlock new displays. Don't forget to scroll up to the stock room in the upper left corner of the game to keep it stocked as well.

What we like: It's challenging and quite rattling in a good way to keep on restocking items from the store room while at the same time making sure we check out all the people queuing in the counter.  We would have liked it a lot more if there's a goal that's set to reach to move on to another level.

Play the game here: https://www.culinaryschools.org/kids-games/tap-supermarket/

PENGUIN CAFE

Penguin Cafe has you play a penguin on skates rushing around to serve guests and meet the daily goal. While the aesthetics in this game are cartoony the difficulty level increases quickly after the first couple levels.

Remind students playing this game customer gratuity makes up an important portion of a waiter's livelihood. That makes it crucial for servers to maintain a positive attitude in spite of frequently dealing with overwhelming stress and demanding customers.

What we like: We love online games that has something to do with meal preparation and service.  It's exciting and it taches kids to always reach for their goals.  The game also teaches patience, gratitude, and honesty in everything we do.  It also teaches players to always have positive mindset no matter how challenging any situation may be.

Play the game here: https://www.culinaryschools.org/kids-games/penguin-cafe/

FARMS ANIMALS KIDS LEARNING MEMORY GAME

Farm Animals Kids Learning Memory Game is a memory card matching game which also states the names of animals as children flip the cards over.

What we like:  For years, my kids have been playing this classic game to sharpen their memories while and improve their focus.  I love that even adults can play this game and help sharpen memories.   I used to ace this when I was younger but when I started playing this game on the hard mode, I was really challenged to flip the correct cards based on what images I remember.  Kids and adults can both play this at the same time.

Play the game here: https://www.culinaryschools.org/kids-games/farm-animals-kids-learning-memory-game/

This pandemic has brought a lot of anxieties and worries in the family about getting sick.  And why not?  We were all forced abruptly to stay at home and adapt to the new normal.  The kids are the most affected because they had to adapt to the new system of learning.  

The most affected one is my youngest who just entered Kinder or formal schooling last year.  His idea of a physical school and playground is now far-fetched.  He's at an age when he's supposed to socialize and meet other kids plus be involved in physical play. 

This is why I compensate for all their losses by being around my kids all the time, especially the little one.  I become his classmate, his playmate, his customer in his pretend-restaurant and a lot more.  Since he also gets worked up at times, he would always asks for a kiss, a hug, and a relaxing massage at night.

Massages has become our nightly routine.  I believe that a mother's touch never fails to comfort her child.  For our massages, we use IPI Aceite De Manzanilla.  IPI Aceite De Manzanilla emphasizes the power of touch in child development and provides them comfort in different unsure situations.  

• Chamomile oil is a natural antidepressant, helping babies/ children relax and go to sleep
• Helps provide relief in child body discomforts such as muscle aches, cough, cold, fever, and colic

Recently, everyone in the family had flu.  My youngest would complain of some body aches here and there.  I can tell his level of discomfort as he would wake up in the middle of the night.  My hug and massages are what comforts him.  We've established this bonding strengthened by the power of touch.  Thanks to IPI Aceite De Manzanilla, my youngest and I are very much connected.

You can apply IPI Aceite De Manzanilla on your baby’s head, chest, stomach, arms and legs in a  Massage motion depending on which discomfort the child is experiencing.

How to use:

1. Place 2-3drops of IPI Aceite De Manzanilla in your palm.  Rub both your hands until it becomes warm.

2. Gently massage it in your child’s area of discomfort like the stomach, chest, head, arms, legs, and feet.

I love that IPI Aceite De Manzanilla is available in three sizes: 25ml,50ml, and 100ml. The smallest one can be included in our travel kit, so we take our massaging just about everywhere!

IPI Aceite De Manzanilla is available in all leading drugstores, pharmacies, supermarkets, groceries, convenience stores, and sari-sari stores nationwide.  It's also on Shopee and Lazada!

So mommies, bust the myth that IPI Aceite De Manzanilla is only for colic and babies.  Learn more from their #AskDocADM series soon on their Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/IPIAceitedemanzanilla.
