SM and Mastercard Empower Ten Outstanding STEM Students (TOSS) with Scholarship Grants

0

SM, through SM Store and SM Retail, in partnership with Mastercard, and SM Foundation have launched a new initiative aimed at empowering Filipino students pursuing careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Through this collaboration, ten exceptional students from the Ten Outstanding STEM Students (TOSS) program will receive scholarship grants, along with access to critical digital learning tools, to help them succeed in today’s tech-driven world.

Mastercard will donate P100 to SM Foundation for every eligible transaction made using a Philippine-issued Mastercard at SM Stores. The funds raised between November 15 to 17 during the promo period will go directly toward supporting the scholarships for these students, enabling them to pursue higher education and build careers in the technology sector.

In addition to financial support, the program also seeks to address the digital divide in the Philippines. Previous efforts have already equipped thousands of students with e-tablets and established digital learning hubs in public schools. In 2023 alone, nearly 10,000 students benefited from these resources, gaining access to modern technology that enhances their educational experience.

According to a 2020 Department of Education survey, only 64% of Filipino students had access to smartphones, and just 55% had access to laptops—critical tools for participating in digital learning.

Five-year digital partnership to empower Baguio MSMEs with digital tools, innovation support, and marketing insights for tourism growth

Philippines, 22 November 2024 – Visa, a global leader in payments technology, has announced a strategic partnership with Thames International, a leading provider of education and training solutions, and the City Government of Baguio to enhance the digitalization of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises     (MSMEs). The partnership launched today with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

This five-year Digital Partnership Program by Visa Government Solutions, which partners with governments globally to drive economic growth and digitalization, aims to help MSMEs in Baguio City by driving acceptance of digital payment modes,, supporting innovation, sharing knowledge, and offering marketing guidance and Visa Destination Insights – which provides detailed spending and visitation data through interactive dashboards and reports –  to bolster the tourism sector.

Small businesses playing a key role in Baguio City’s local economy & tourism sector

As the Summer Capital of the Philippines, Baguio is a key part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) alongside Cebu and Iloilo. Since 2017, Baguio has held the UNESCO Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art title, joining a network of 246 cities globally committed to embedding creativity in sustainable urban development. Beyond its creative contributions, Baguio also boasts a flourishing MSME sector that fuels local growth and innovation.

As of August 2023, Baguio has 22,121 registered businesses, with 19,874 being microenterprises primarily in wholesale and retail[1]. This underscores the significance of small businesses to the local economy and tourism, with MSMEs serving as vital tourism front liners.

Supporting MSMEs to innovate and tap into data to upskill them to drive tourism

The partnership includes initiatives to support MSME innovation and payment digitalization, enhance data insights, and upskill MSMEs in the digital economy. It aims to facilitate connections with technology providers and banks and ensure financial inclusion. The program will also develop a data-first tourism strategy, host workshops on data trends, and use Visa Destination Insights for policy development.

The partnership will also expand its reach through media and official channels, promote digital literacy across sectors, and connect Baguio City stakeholders with global Visa experts. This collaboration will enable peer exchange workshops and innovation study tours, allowing stakeholders to share best practices in building an inclusive, digitally empowered government.              

This is a significant step towards supporting Baguio City’s tourism sector by enhancing the overall visitor experience and promoting the city’s rich cultural heritage. Small businesses, essential to the local economy, will benefit from digital solutions and the growth of the creative economy, positioning Baguio City to attract more tourists and stimulate local business growth.    

Jeffrey Navarro, Country Manager for Visa Philippines, said: “We are thrilled to partner with Thames International and the City Government of Baguio to drive digitalization and support the creative economy. Tourism is a vital part of the Philippine economy, and we are delighted to provide our tools and resources to help drive the growth of the industry. Our partnership enhances the visitor experience, promotes cultural heritage, and empowers MSMEs to boost tourism and local businesses, creating a digitally and financially inclusive ecosystem for all in the Philippines.”

NOVELLINO HELPS BOOST PH ECONOMY

0

From vision, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Novellino Wines Vicente “Nonoy” Quimbo turns his wine making business into a mission: To convert as many Filipinos to wine drinking, democratizing wine among Filipinos with an aspirational and healthy drink.

His business is not just to generate income for his family but to contribute to the country’s economic growth. The company imports grapes from different countries to produce wine, giving added value to its products. And since all the raw materials are manufactured here, the company provides more job opportunities as well.

With a market share of 41.6 percent in the light grape wine category in 2023, Novellino continues its market leadership. Following its steady growth, the company has upgraded its manufacturing plant with the latest technology and state of the art equipment to maintain high quality standards in wine production.

“We take pride in the workmanship and craftsmanship involved behind every Novellino bottle. A big toast to Novellino!,” Nonoy said during the company’s 25th anniversary celebrations held at the Novellino winery in Calamba, Laguna last October 17.

Nonoy, together with his whole family, shared the colorful journey of Novellino to business partners, guests and media.  His two sons – Director and Chief Strategy Officer Carlos Quimbo and Chris Quimbo, President and General Manager of Novellino Wines – highlighted the success of the wine brand for the past 25 years.

“Before, people would buy any kind of drink during the season – beer, whiskey, imported wines,” Nonoy shared. “Now, Christmas isn’t Christmas for most families unless there’s Novellino on the table.”

The wine brand has become part of Pinoy lifestyle, a brand of choice at any given occasion of whatever reason and season. Novellino has changed the culture in wine drinking: That it is not only during big occasions like Christmas but also in small gatherings – deepening bonds and ties between friends and families. Significantly, the brand has made winemaking, drinking, and appreciation part of the growing cultural movement in the Philippines.

Meanwhile, Chris led the guests and members of the press to a facility tour showing them the Novellino’s five-stage process in wine production – Fermentation, Centrifugation, Micro Filtration, Chilling and Bottling. The winery boasts of its latest acquisition, the state of the art Alfa Laval centrifuge from Sweden. It’s the first and one of the few wineries in Asia that has this modern equipment. Accordingly, the manufacturing plant has the capacity to produce 30,000 liters of sweet wine per batch. All the upgrades are complemented with revolutionary wastewater disposal solutions and renewable energy.

“We really want to have a sustainable company to meet the increasing demands of the market.” Nonoy beamed. “We have already captured the hearts of the Filipinos. And this time, we want to make the brand known globally.”

“We want to continue delivering fantastic Filipino wine in the Philippines and beyond,” added Chris. “That’s why we’re exploring other wine-infused experiences, giving Filipinos more options to enjoy and appreciate our wine.”

In the past twenty-five years, Filipinos have fallen in love with Novellino. That sweet and rich taste has become their standard in choosing a wine. And when it comes to wine, they think of the only brand that they are familiar with – Novellino Wines.

To date, Novellino has 17 wines and counting with the Filipinos in mind. This Pinoy wine brand has consistently pursued excellence and achieved milestones making it synonymously a national pride. And Novellino Wines is ready to conquer the global market as it continuously writes in the world history of winemaking in the next 25 years and beyond.

Celebrate Filipino Creativity at the National Fiesta Haraya

Running alongside the Christmas Village Fairs, the DTI-Creative Industries Development Office (CIDO) will also host the National Fiesta Haraya (Philippine Creative Industries Festival). This festival celebrates the diversity and brilliance of Filipino creativity across regions in fields such as art, media, fashion, and technology.

Each day, regional representatives from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao will showcase immersive experiences across creative clusters like Digital Creative Services, Performing Arts, Cultural Heritage, Music, Digital Animation, and more. From interactive exhibitions and performances to educational workshops, Fiesta Haraya invites attendees to engage with the dynamic world of Filipino artistry and innovation.

Celebrate the Season, Support Filipino Small Businesses

The DTI-Bagong Pilipinas Christmas Village Fairs highlight the dedication and craftsmanship of local artisans and small businesses, offering a unique opportunity to support the Filipino community through thoughtful holiday shopping. By choosing local, fairgoers contribute to the growth of small businesses, bolstering the economy, and spreading the spirit of community.

Simultaneously, National Fiesta Haraya enriches the holiday celebration with its dynamic events, performances, and exhibitions, adding a creative and educational layer to the overall experience. This festive fusion of commerce and culture celebrates the heart of Filipino creativity while complementing the holiday ambiance of the Christmas Village Fairs.

“We invite everyone to join us in celebrating a truly Filipino Christmas this year,” says DTI-BMDPO Director Marievic Bonoan. “The Christmas Village Fairs, enhanced by the National Fiesta Haraya, offer a joyful way to come together, support local artisans, and make lasting memories. It’s an opportunity to experience the best of the Philippines during this special season.”
