Beko sends love to homes in Gawad Kalinga through Home Buddies Fiesta outreach

0

Healthy living starts at home and extends to the community. Beko, a European appliance brand, believes that making a meaningful impact beyond the household will help create a healthier and better environment for the broader community and future generations.

As part of its commitment, Beko participated in the vibrant celebration of the Home Buddies Fiesta outreach program which uplifted the Gawad Kalinga village in Laguerta, Muntinlupa, on November 10. Home Buddies, launched in 2020, is the largest Facebook community of home enthusiasts in the Philippines, with over 3 million members.

Home Buddies celebrates its anniversary each year by giving back to the community. Now in its fourth year, Home Buddies partnered with Beko and 50 volunteers from its online community to serve around 128 families, including 200 to 300 children, within the Gawad Kalinga Village. Different teams focused on various areas of support: #TeamPinta (community repainting), #TeamBusog (feeding program), #TeamSaya (GK Paraisong Pambata program for kids), and #TeamAlaga (overall event organizing team).

Frances Lim Cabatuando, the founder of Home Buddies and fondly known as Mayora Frances, shared the inspiration for this year’s celebration, which is based on the Filipino Fiesta tradition.

“A Filipino Fiesta is made up of three elements: (1) the community coming together, (2) there’s fun and food for everyone, (3) and it has to be a meaningful celebration. We thought it was the perfect theme for this year’s outreach,” said Frances.

Beko representatives participated in heartwarming programs for kids, staged a booth for participants to enjoy more activities, and sponsored an event segment where community kids played games and took home prizes.

“Our collaboration with Home Buddies reflects Beko’s mission and commitment to creating positive change in Filipino homes. Through our products that promote a healthy lifestyle and our partnerships with organizations that share our vision, we are dedicated to bringing convenience and joy to every home we reach. This outreach at Gawad Kalinga is a testament to our commitment to spreading love, especially as the holiday season approaches,” said Dyeun Zapanta, Marketing Head for Beko Philippines.

“We are grateful to everyone who came and shared their time, energy, and resources to make this outreach happen. Although it was just a one-day event, I know the kids and their families will remember it forever. Thank you, Beko Philippines, for trusting Home Buddies, and we look forward to our 5th anniversary next year,” shared Frances.

In the spirit of the holiday season, Beko is spreading cheer with its Beko Sends Love promo.

DigiPlus, BingoPlus Foundation give ₱37M aid to families of Typhoon Kristine casualties in largest relief effort to date

0

In response to the devastating impact of Typhoon Kristine, BingoPlus Foundation, the social development arm of DigiPlus Interactive, formally distributed ₱37 million in financial aid to families affected by Typhoon Kristine. In the wake of 148 confirmed casualties nationwide, at least ₱250,000 was committed to each bereaved family, as a symbol of compassion and support for their journey to recovery. The initiative started with 39 bereaved families during a turnover ceremony on November 10, at Talisay New Municipal Grounds in Batangas and will continue in several parts of the country. This pledge will continue to support affected families in coordination with the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

First Lady Louise “Liza” Araneta-Marcos, Department of Social Welfare and Development Undersecretary Pinky Romualdez and DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco were joined by Batangas Governor Hermilando Mandanas, Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste, Talisay Mayor Nestor Natanauan, Bacolod Mayor Albie, BingoPlus Foundation COO Celeste Jovenir and local leaders and community members to personally hand over the financial aid. The event highlighted the Foundation’s mission to multiply the good by extending meaningful support to Filipinos in their time of greatest need.

Typhoon Kristine, one of the year’s most devastating storms, left a trail of destruction across South Luzon, with severe flooding and landslides resulting in significant loss of life and damage to property. Talisay, particularly impacted by landslides in Batangas, is one of the focus areas of the Foundation’s relief efforts as the entire province was declared in a state of calamity.

“The BingoPlus Foundation exists to provide more than financial aid; it is about creating hope, resilience, and real change,” said DigiPlus Interactive Chairman Eusebio Tanco. “The work of the BingoPlus Foundation is a true reflection of our belief in giving back without holding back, of reaching out to lift up those in need, and of multiplying the good in every way possible.”

The provision of financial assistance builds on BingoPlus Foundation’s prior support initiatives for Typhoon Kristine victims. In collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s National Resource Operations Center (DSWD NROC), the Foundation provided cavans of rice, benefiting at least 750 families, and mobilized volunteers to help repack and distribute critical supplies for affected provinces.

Together with ABS-CBN Foundation’s Sagip Kapamilya, BingoPlus Foundation also extended support to 1,000 families impacted by Typhoon Kristine in Isabela, Aurora, Pangasinan and Quezon. These immediate actions underscore the Foundation’s dedication to its resilience pillar, showcasing its commitment to making a difference when communities need it most.

“The BingoPlus Foundation stands by our communities not only with aid but with resilience, unity, and hope,” said Tanco. “In moments like these, our commitment to making a difference is stronger than ever.”

Since its inception, the Foundation has allocated over ₱100 million across projects nationwide, addressing urgent community needs through healthcare, livelihood programs, and educational grants. Through partnerships with local and national organizations, the Foundation has established PLUS Centers in Negros, Cebu, and General Santos, creating resource hubs designed to empower communities by offering critical resources such as health programs, livelihood support, and skills training. Each center is a lasting symbol of the Foundation’s commitment to sustainable community development.

“Until now, flagship camera phones with ultra-zoom, power, battery life and AI tools have been weighed down by thick, heavy designs, but Find X8 Series changes the game. Find X8 is a thin and light powerhouse with ultra-beating battery life and a periscope zoom. Find X8 Pro takes zoom further, delivering ultra-grade experiences without the bulk. And with ColorOS 15’s smart and smooth experience, Find X8 Series is set to mark an exciting shift for the smartphone industry.”

OPPO Find X8 is loaded with ultra features. Fitting an incredibly slim periscope zoom camera into a masterfully balanced, sleek, light design at 7.85mm thin and weighing just 193g. Immersive yet compact, it combines a 6.59” display with an ultra-narrow 1.45mm symmetrical border, keeping its size down while making it a joy to handle and behold. And with its fingerprint-resistant diffuse finish available in Star Grey, Space Black and Shell Pink, Find X8 looks as good as it feels.

Fans of bigger screens, get ready for Find X8 Pro. It puts an ultra-immersive 6.78” picture in your palms, showcases quad-curved glass on both sides, and debuts OPPO’s dual-periscope telephoto camera for global markets. Find X8 Pro is available in Space Black and Pearl White, with each Pearl White device featuring a unique pearlescent pattern – no two are the same – infusing an exclusive quality to the colour.

Going the distance, with AI Telescope Zoom, Find X8 Series can reach further than ever before, activating at 10x and beyond. Each can also freeze time in an instant with Lightning Snap, taking up to seven photos every second without compromising on flagship-grade photo processing.

New Predator League Champs Crowned at the Predator League 2025 Philippines Finals

0

Predator Gaming assembled the best local Dota 2 and VALORANT teams in Cebu, lighting up the Queen City of the South with explosive, world-class esports action. The crowds were packed at Robinsons Galleria Cebu where the Predator League 2025 Philippine Finals took place, as fans and passers-by alike witnessed esports greatness.

Grassroots Endeavor from the Start

Predator League always seeks to discover new talent in the local esports scene. Four regional qualifying bouts around the archipelago were held to give more chances for players to showcase their skills and be exposed to high-level plays.

The Predator League 2025 Philippine Finals set the stage for the best local Dota 2 and VALORANT teams to fight for the lion’s share of the coveted PHP 1,000,000 total prize pool. The Dota 2 and VALORANT champions took home PHP 250,000 each and a slot in the Asia Pacific Predator League 2025 Grand Finals.

Dota 2 Highlights

The Dota 2 Grand Finals pitted long-standing squad Execration against newer team Ivory. With in-form mid laners Execration’s Charles “Lewis” Santos and Ivory’s Argle “Ken” Llesis duking it out, it was an exciting match-up from the get-go. While Ivory brought their A-game, Execration’s tried and tested experience prevailed. Lewis was his usual dominant self, but carry player Denz “Denzsanity” Anedez also stepped up to the plate with an impressive 7.5 kill and 10.5 assist average throughout the series. 

VALORANT Highlights

It was a moment to remember for the collegiate esports scene in the Philippines as DLSU VALORANT Esports, UAAP’s VALORANT champions, took their place in the tournament via direct invite. The team showed everyone they have what it takes to compete with the best as they made it all the way to the finals in this pro player-laden tournament despite having less competitive LAN experience. DLSU showed they could stand with VALORANT team staple ZOL Esports in the Grand Finals. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be for the Xavier “Xavi8k” Juan-led squad from Taft as ZOL Esports took an easy 2-0 sweep behind the constant heroics and clutch prowess of ZOL Esports controller Patrick “PatMen” Mendoza. Xavi8k played for Oasis Gaming when they bested ZOL Esports in the Predator League 2024 Philippine Finals. It came around full circle for ZOL and made this year’s victory all the more sweet. 

Tickets Booked for Kuala Lumpur

Execration, Ivory, and ZOL Esports have claimed their spot in the Asia Pacific Predator League 2025 Grand Finals in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Team Secret will join them in flying the Philippine flag against the best teams in the region early next year.
