KonsultaMD has taken a significant step towards inclusive healthcare for the LGBTQ+ community by partnering with the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC) Project.

With the partnership, KonsultaMD becomes the first telehealth application in the Philippines to offer Inclusive Care, featuring doctors trained by PEPFAR-USAID’s EpiC Project on Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Expression, and Sex Characteristics (SOGIESC), gender sensitivity, and motivational counseling.

Through KonsultaMD, the LGBTQ+ community now has access to Inclusive Care doctors who are trained to understand and address their specific needs. KonsultaMD provides a safe and respectful space for consultations, offering knowledgeable healthcare services, including those for sexual health.

“KonsultaMD is dedicated to breaking down barriers in healthcare access for the LGBTQ+ community,” said Beia Latay, KonsultaMD CEO.

“Our partnership with PEPFAR-USAID’s EpiC Project allows us to offer specialized care that respects and understands the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, and this initiative is an important step towards achieving that goal.”

By removing common barriers of limited understanding, stigma, discrimination, confidentiality concerns, and restricted access to services, the initiative encourages the LGBTQ+ community to prioritize their health. Overcoming these obstacles is crucial, as delaying care may result in poorer health outcomes for common illnesses within the community.

To consult with an Inclusive Care doctor, download the KonsultaMD app and register. Navigate to the homepage and tap on the “Inclusive Care” icon. From there, click on the “Specialist” tab and select a doctor. Choose between an on-demand consultation or schedule one for a later time by tapping “Book a consultation.”

KonsultaMD continues to lead the way in providing inclusive and accessible healthcare solutions. By partnering with PEPFAR-USAID’s EpiC Project, KonsultaMD is making a tangible difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals, ensuring that they receive the compassionate and expert care they deserve.

Book Nook empowers Filipinos through literacy, self-expression, and giving back

In December 2020, Sheeren Sy, a Singaporean architect affiliated with SM Supermalls, initiated the establishment of Book Nook. The idea began when Sy encountered a small, unattended shelf in Australia, where people could share books for free.

Shereen Sy, inspired by an unmanned book-sharing shelf in Melbourne, Australia, initiates the establishment of the Book Nook in 2020.

Inspired by this concept, she dreamed of bringing a similar initiative to the Philippines. Recognizing the spirit of “bayanihan” – a Filipino value that emphasizes communal unity and cooperation – Sy envisioned creating a space where Filipinos could share not just books but also their talents.

This open library on the third level of SM Aura is a cozy space that allows visitors to browse a growing collection of over 3,000 books, donate and swap books, and foster a love of reading and sharing while promoting community engagement.
Book Nook is more than just a place of learning; it’s a dynamic hub that sparks interest and curiosity. Extending far beyond its collection of books, it hosts a variety of events and activities catering to diverse interests.

In another initiative, the space provided a platform for solo mothers to connect through a book launch of “Solo, Yet SOLOved,” by Tinette Cortes, a memoir about overcoming domestic violence.

To nurture local talent, Book Nook hosted a workshop led by comic book creator Jamie Bautista, where aspiring artists learned the intricacies of visual storytelling.

Emerging artists learn the art of visual storytelling from renowned comic book creator Jamie Bautista.

Moreover, in collaboration with Camerahaus, the biggest photography retailer in the Philippines, Book Nook organized a VlogCon to equip content creators with essential knowledge. Over 700 participants joined the event.

GMA Network donated copies of the illustrated children’s book “Si Gren, Ang Kaibigan Kong Alien” to SM Supermalls through Book Nook. “Si Gren, Ang Kaibigan Kong Alien” is a companion book to GMA’s TV series “My Guardian Alien,” which is about an alien who takes the form of a deceased woman named Katherine after accidentally crashing to Earth in a pod.

The cast of GMA’s TV series “My Guardian Alien” (L-R): Arnold Reyes, Raphael Landicho, Christian Antolin, and Gabby Eigenmann (back).

The success of the initial location at SM Aura has led to the upcoming August 15 opening of a new branch at The Podium.

Keep your modem cool and safe, enjoy undisrupted connectivity

In today’s digital age, your modem is the unsung hero of your home. It powers your internet, enabling everything from streaming movies to remote working. But like any hardworking device, your modem needs some tender loving care to keep it running smoothly, especially when it comes to avoiding overheating.

Overheating is your modem’s biggest enemy. It can lead to connectivity issues, performance degradation, and even hardware failure. Globe At Home shares five ways to keep your modem cool and efficient:

  1. Place Your Modem in Open Areas
  • Ventilation is key: Ensure your modem is placed in a well-ventilated spot. Avoid confined spaces such as cabinets or drawers where airflow is restricted.
  • Keep it uncovered: Do not place items on top of or around your modem. Covering it with books, sheets of paper, or decorative items can block airflow and trap heat.
  • 2. Keep It Away from Heat Sources
  • Distance from hot appliances: Position your modem away from heat-generating devices such as refrigerators and ovens. These appliances may raise the ambient temperature and affect your modem.
  • Avoid direct sunlight: Sunlight may significantly increase the temperature of your modem. Place it in a shaded area away from windows to prevent overheating.
  • 3. Minimize Electrical Interference
  • Avoid other electronic devices: Keep your modem away from running electric appliances such as TVs, cordless phones and personal computers. These devices can emit electromagnetic interference, which not only affects performance but can also contribute to heat buildup.
  • 4. Stability and Placement
  • Use a stable, flat surface: Ensure your modem is on a solid, level surface. Avoid soft or uneven surfaces that may block vents or cause the modem to tip over.
  • 5. Use the Original Adapter
  • Power matters: Always use the original power adapter that came with your modem. It’s designed to deliver the correct voltage and current. Using a different adapter may lead to power fluctuations, increasing the risk of overheating.

By following these tips, you can protect your modem from overheating, ensuring that it operates efficiently and maintains a stable internet connection. Take good care of your modem to avoid charges for device replacement in case of damage.

“The modem is the gateway to WiFi connection. We encourage our customers to take care of it just as they look after their mobile phones and other devices that keep them connected. Being mindful of the location of the modem is key in preventing unexpected disruptions,” said Abigail Cardino, VP for Broadband Business at Globe.

Remember, a properly placed modem is a safe modem. For more tips on optimizing your internet setup and fixing connection issues, check out this video. For more information about Globe, visit https://www.globe.com.ph/.
