Celebrating Women's Month with Mary Rose Marbil: A Story of Love, Compassion, Family and Service

She was all smiles when she went in. Donned in a white crisp top, hair tucked back and a presence I couldn't put to words. She has this presence signifying power, poise, posture that make known strictness. But once she uttered words, it felt like we were welcomed home, like no strangers... getting a warm hug. 

She's the beautiful Ms. Mary Rose Marbil, loving wife to PNP Chief Rommel Francisco Marbil and caring mother to recently engaged Robyn Marie Marbil. She's also the PNP OLC Foundation, Inc. (previously Officer's Ladies Club) Adviser, an honor she doesn't treat as an obligation, but an opportunity to help through charitable causes, now geared to help PNP Personnel and their families. This is also something that she is passionate about.

This strong disposition must have come from somewhere, so I asked about who she gets the inspiration from. She immediately answered her Mom. She says "The woman who made a big impact is my Mom. Not just because she is my Mom, but because of how she is, and how she handled things. She's always objective about things. When we got married, we stayed with her for 3 years. She didn't want me to stay in PSG quarters because there would be a lot of chismis there. It might have been difficult to have 2 queens in one castle, but it wasn't with her. If there are conflicts, she never asked why, but just be present and be there for me. Even with the siblings, she's the most level headed. That's my Mom."

With the PNP OLC Foundation, Inc., she was involved in spearheading their ongoing project called LAB Virus (which they coined from Love and Blessings). She usually goes with the PNP Chief in various locations in the country but didn't participate much in efforts. With the project, she was able to start helping PNP personnel and their beneficiaries. With the foundation, she didn't have to wait for a regional visit to help people. It also rarely happens, and this was able to put them in a more pro-active state. 

The foundation sought help from health services to identify over 500 individuals that are critically ill. This was a huge number, even the Chief PNP was surprised. Much of them were suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease and needs lengthy dialysis treatments in their respective regions. They provided them needed financial assistance that would help for medical bills and for their daily spend. 

While it was a huge help, they wanted their actions to also be more sustainable. One of the regional leaders in Cebu was teaching life skills in making soap. It's a business they could easily teach PNP personnel and their beneficiaries, so they could fend for themselves, and put food on the table after getting help from the PNP OLC Foundation, Inc. Very soon, they will also be teaching and giving away business kits to street sweepers in Camp Crame. They are excited to do this in Manila/Laguna too.

 Here's our interview with Ms. Mary Rose a few days ago:

Spreading love with every touch, the PNP OLC Foundation, Inc. is continuously going around regions including BARMM. With help from private individuals who signified support through their organization, they would be able to lend a hand to more people especially PNP personnel and their families.

Recently, they also had a concert with singing PNP personnel to raise funds for the foundation. They also get help from individuals, other foundations (and the public) so they could come to the aid of more people in times of need. Her experience in the corporate world has helped her organize a structured operation to cater the underprivileged. They now have officers that will be able to continue efforts and ensure it would be addressed after her term. This is such a selfless and noble task, but she finds insurmountable fulfillment doing this.  

Her message to women out there, "There's always something you can do. You're not just a wife, let's not limit ourselves to what people think you can do. We are limitless, especially as women. It shouldn't be a hindrance, I even think there's more power in that. We have our charm, use it to move and make things happen. With our talents, we can use it for the welfare of the people around us. Do what you need to do!" Her story of love, compassion, her family and the service the foundation does for others is so inspiring.

Thank you for sharing your time Ms. Rose, it was certainly a pleasure getting to know you!

foodpanda Launches pandaPatrol Hub on Wheels!

foodPanda is on a roll as they launch a new service that is meant to reach out to even more of their foodpanda Riders across the country. They call it pandaPatrol Hub on Wheels, huge bus that serves as a hub for legitimate panda Riders in hopes to entertain them (via lots of games), reward them (where you can use Bamboo points for foodpanda merch) and help them with any kind of foodpanda rider concerns they may have that can be answered right on the spot because their executives and officers will be there to talk to you in person as it has several seats to accommodate you inside the vehicle. 

The event was hosted by a good ol friend of mine Papa Jackson (who's a real deal biker too) and a DJ of Energy FM. He made the evening quite fun. Aside from that, artist, singer and rapper Quest went on an inspiring barrage of songs that evening and also lauded foodpanda for making efforts in bringing services to their foodpanda riders. Some very talented foodpanda riders also performed on stage the official foodpanda song, they're quite talented that they are bringing them to different provinces to do the same.

The plan is to get this bus appear in different parts of the Philippines this coming June to make sure foodpanda Riders across the country would benefit from the prizes, the rewards and services that they have rolled out this year. Thank you foodpanda and hope to see more of these activations in major cities, provinces and far flung areas soon!

Congratulations on pandaPatrol Hub on Wheels!

Time to Try foodpanda's "pandago" Delivery Service

If you weren't looking and if you're living under a rock, there are a lot of change happening in the foodpanda app. Recently, they launched a new package delivery service called "pandago", something that certainly can benefit you for your personal errands and businesses for their delivery needs.

Case in point some foodpanda merch I had a few days ago which my friend saw on my stories. He's single and very sad lol. So it wouldn't take a genius what a friend would do, send him the merch of course! So it just took a few steps to put in my pickup point, his address, enter the voucher (which is 95 percent off on first pandago transaction), and booking it. It took about 4-5 minutes to have the driver pickup the parcel (which was quick) and a couple minutes more to get the parcel to its destination.

Ms. Patricia Jacinto the Operations Director of foodpanda Philippines puts this as a convenience service that would benefit Filipinos especially if you're sending documents, gifts, and packages. They wanted to also expand their services across the platform as they see the demand for it. They rolled out pandago in several cities like Davao and Cabanatuan. There's also real time tracking on the app so you can see if it's already there plus insurance coverage if it gets lost or stolen during transit. Use NEWPGO on the app and see how it could take off an amount on your delivery services. Imagine the amount of people especially MSME's who can do deliveries fast, 24/7 anywhere in the country (that's the good end goal eh?).

I'm a panda PRO subscriber and have had lots of benefits from groceries (from pandamart) and food deliveries (from my favorite restaurants). Now there's more things that would make my life easy when I forget something from home (which happens a lot apparently) or just want to make someone's day special. 

Hope you all get to try pandago, I just did, it's not that expensive and I totally enjoyed it!

AIA Showcases Keys to Excellent Customer Experience: Tech Groundwork, AI and Personal Service

Fresh as a mornings brew, AIA showcased their digitalization movement this year. An insightful way on introducing how they innovate in their goal of building healthier, stronger and better lives. 

AIA CEO Kelvin Ang says "Welcome to our second face to face meeting as we share what we have been doing after the pandemic. There's a lot of things we worked on and some of you may ask why we are doing this, it's because we want you to witness the people that have been part of our growth and a big announcement last year as we rebranded to AIA. The need to change constantly has been something that happened especially on the digital side. We are in better position to embrace the future especially in the technology, digital l, and data analytics. We used to have so many layers, we restructured it so we can work faster. We have started this in the company and the work we do with agile tribes. In our 75th year we need to start thinking about embracing change and improvement. Learning is a big part in our organization, make it sustainable, expand further and deeper. We have community, bots, an innovation culture in our organization."

He adds "In the past we used to have processes that took two weeks, now it can be done in 20 minutes. We want to make it easier for our customers. We continued to improve our customer portal online, and this year we spent a lot building sales platform to better assess their needs versus our products. It was done on Facebook messenger and fulfill our mission to make it accessible and more affordable. The one we're sharing today is something that is fun and practical, something from our innovation lab. Plus the new distribution to make it accessible and affordable like our other products."

Chief Technology Officer Noel Mendoza explains "The best worst thing that happened in technology was the pandemic, people had to adapt in a faster pace. Everything had to be changed, and it has changed the way consumers get products and services. What we want to share is the things we need to do in the office. It's very different, as customers demand more and to be able to listen to them. It allows us to attune to customers needs today. This will change over time, and this is our innovation program. Our lab makes us understand what is possible, it's where we see what's relevant in the market. We will give you a taste of that and why automation is important."

Dwayne Tin the Innovation and Automation Lead of AIA says "We are not a physical lab, we enable everyone from CEO to customer to have a voice. It's a virtual representation of what we try to be. In a minute you can do a tour to experience how it is to be part of innovation on ground."

The consumers are vital for technology to reach goals. Improvement needs feedback to see what works and what doesn't. Interacting with customers made them learn to discover and combine things in an automation process. The chat bots was made with the customer in mind, to start conversations that are usually asked, like payments and or policy updates especially if they want to information now. It also is manned by digital workers to provide services fast, without queues, send it to you even with multiple policies in tow. Now it just isn't queries they answer, they do transactions and can do it also on My AIA for more secured ones. It also gives customers the ability to understand the costs without being too shy about asking an actual person, even just on messenger you can already accomplish things. It allows in person conversation to a minimal, so they too can concentrate on those what matters most.

Thank you to everyone who showed us around their offices this morning. Really appreciate it!

AIA Philippines want this to be better, to make sure they can build more things to help more customers in the future. That's a noble thing.

Fuji Xerox Launches 21 New ApeosPort Series

Today was an awesome day to launch new products from Fuji Xerox. The brand is synonymous with everything there is to do with copiers, but of course in the industry, they're one of the largest corporations to produce SOHO all in one devices such as copiers, printers, scanners, fax machines, software and cloud services. This pandemic as also been so hard for them business wise, but what I heard earlier in their launch was excitement, optimism that even in these times, they can make your home office or businesses flourish with new top of the line models of their ApeosPort Series.

Hideaki Kato Xerox President says "The past year has been challenging even to our way of life, at 2021, we are moving forward with our new products. This is part of the new normal, we can help businesses with these even in the unprecedented situation. Thank you!"

Eliza Crizanto says "Today we are launching the new ApeosPort series. 21 new models for our Apeos Port series. Whether you are a small, medium or enterprise business, we have multi-function printers in different speeds and sizes. We still have copiers, printers and scanners that would support the new normal lifestyle, freedom from security threats and more. Work style is different, now we have mobile phones, wireless devices, now you can control copy and scan jobs by tapping and controlling it with your smartphones. The toners are made of EA Eco Toners, very eco-friendly, doesn't need much high electric consumption for output. If the components are not being used, it is simply turned off and very eco-compliant. It has smart energy management technology. If you are doing a scan job, the other features are not powered, therefore less electric consumption."

Oscar Dolendo Head of Marketing adds "Our new ApeosPort series have impenetrable data, prevents malware or virus, it also has hard drive encryption, has logged detailed information for tracking. It only allows authenticated users to use the device. It can make you worry free from cyber attacks, the new ApeosPort series has complied with very stringent Japanese/Global standards and technology, giving you freedom from security threats."

James Singson Product Manager for Fuji Xerox says "The security features are already placed in the machines, no need to install anything. If customer need customer support, it will be provided on contract, so no need to worry if the need arises."

ApeosPort series can simplify your work with paperless procedures, electronic signatures, and with it, you can unlock your full business potential. Their carefree management can minimize downtime, easy fleet management, so you can focus on your core business and not attend to any of Fuji Xerox equipment. This is done by electronic partnership-broadband (EP-BB), remote device health check and remote assistance. EP BB send machine information to Fuji Xerox for toner refills, alerts if the machine experience problems, usage, eco impact and service history. Their call centers get the alerts and they contact you directly. That's reassuring. 

Remote Device Health Checks are done with the machine sending data of its different components and device sensing points so they can take pro active efforts sometimes even before customer experiences it. Like wear and tear, service technicians will be deployed and fix it for you. They also take preventive maintenance measures so they can make the equipment healthy. RDHC also generates monthly health reports so they can see machines and its performance. For remote assistance, this is the last line of defense where customers are attended to the quickest possible time. You can connect via cloud by walking through the process, you can fix things and forget about the equipment and use your efforts for the business instead.  

Currently, they have the ApeosPort Series available in the market and you can contact Fuji Xerox Philippines or their channel partners nationwide if you want to avail of their devices and services.

Healthier Holidays for my Family

 

Hypertension runs in the family and so does the greater population in the country. Thing is, you can actually have this condition for years and never even feel it - which makes it quite dangerous as it could cause more health problems including heart disease. Pumping blood into your system is a normal thing, but once those veins, arteries become narrow because of things you eat (hello cholesterol), you would have high blood pressure which won’t be good for your body. This is one of the reasons people experience severe headaches, nose bleeds. fatigue, vision issues, difficulty breathing, chest pain or irregular heartbeat or stroke. I’ve seen some of my relatives suffer the same fate, and as they say, it takes a village to actually get rid of it. We need to understand that it can be attributed to age, race, family history, obesity, your physical activity, smoking, if you eat with too much salt, if you have less potassium, if you're alcoholic, if you undergo too much stress or have other chronic conditions like diabetes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People could suffer a heart attack, aneurysm, heart failure, kidney failure, vision loss, so it is so important to always seek the help of a medical professional. Doctors are the only ones who can diagnose and recommend steps on how you can battle this disease and early detection does really count. Now, my whole family tries to keep our diet in check. Albeit all of us are obese, we try to include vegetables in our plates, less fat, less salt. It is a lifetime commitment, just like how Sanofi does with their #PanataNgPamilya, #PanatangSanofi program. Their thrust is to bring forth more holistic healthcare support and awareness with Diabetes, Hypertension and Chronic Kidney Disease. They know how important proper nutrition and physical activity is and this is part of their goal to create a healthier Philippines. We need to make sure we do our part too by making sure all suggestions by doctors are being followed at home. Sanofi also wants to ultimately bridge that gap between Filipinos and healthcare which is why they partnered with doctors, patients and healthcare providers so they can help the general public gain access to holistic solutions and innovations to rid of this chronic disease.

One of their programs is called Healthier PH Sessions and it is being held quite frequently so the public and medical professionals can discuss how to manage our family's health. They also know how important it is to change the lifestyle and go for healthy habits and teach that in every session. Aside from that, they have WeHealth. It's a Health Hub that connects patients and doctors done online. This proved to be safe even now in the new normal. With it, you can get medical consultations anytime of the day (or as scheduled) or have your medicines delivered straight to your home. This is very convenient especially for those who wouldn't want to go to hospitals or outside as the threat of COVID- 19 still exists. 

They have connected with providers like SeriousMD, AIDE, KonsultaMD and Medifi as their tele-health providers so you can still ask doctors for medical advice and get their medicine from pharmaceutical partners like Watson’s and SouthStar Drug if they need prescription or over the counter medicine delivered to their own homes. This is perfect for those with diabetes, hypertension and other chronic diseases because they got to take care of themselves every day. Then recently, they have developed the Empower Patient Support Program which gives continuous care and medical education for Diabetes patients. It has one year of coverage. They also have paperless online enrollment for those who have Type 2 Diabetes (upon recommendation of a doctor) wherein they get a diabetes kit upon enrollment. In it, they have the capability to merge online patient education and access to diabetes educators so you can stay in touch and do weekly monitoring. You can check for your blood glucose levels at a more constant pace and tell medical experts about it on their tele-medicine platform.

Now, there’s no more excuse for Filipinos who don’t want to visit their doctors. That reluctance has been happening for years and it just becomes so difficult to treat patients when you don’t have a medical professional drawing your path to health. You now have access to information, education, a doctor and even pharmacies with Sanofi’s work, that is a good thing.

It only means that no one should be left behind.

New Shopping, Grocery and Laundry Service App HONESTBEE

Have you heard of HONESTBEE?

Honestly, I haven't either but I think it's good news that the same successful delivery service that has been used in other Asian cities such as Singapore, Taipei, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Tokyo and a lot more. Their service include Concierge shopping which means getting well trained people to pick fresh produce, the best products in the grocery, the best clothes and even one of my most hated chore in the house, the laundry.

For now, it's only available in certain areas in Metro Manila but what I'm so glad about is that it IS here. Their smart shoppers can actually call you back if in case something on your list runs out of stock and give you suggestions for replacements. They also have a mission to lessen middle men, have a farm to table kind of setup. If you have read quite a few articles today in Singapore, there are already a lot of people availing this service as they are priced competitively, some even more affordable than what you see in grocery shops with the convenience of just staying at home or the office or wherever you want it delivered as long as it's within their service area.

As of now, they've got the whole Robinsons Supermarket on their partner merchants. They also have AWC that offers wines and spirits, food specialty shops like FoodSource, Boozy for liquors, Fresh Options meat shop, The Straits Wine Company, Chicco Baby Products, Solo Meat Corp, Figures Of Beans Coffee Products, Harvestime Salads Frozen Berries and Fruits, Incredible India and even G Stuff who sells organic products so almost everything is there. All you have to do is download the app on Google Play or the App Store. They offer same day 1 hour delivery so this is totally convenient and won't be a hindrance in your schedules. The laundry service can get your clothes clean, pressed and folded then sent to your home after 3 days. 

Right now, I talked to their customer representatives (yes I emailed them) and they only cover the whole Makati and Ortigas Business District, Bonifacio Global City, Xavierville and Maginhawa in Quezon City. You can check by putting your address on the app or website and they can tell you if they can deliver. I'm raring to try it out very soon.

Extra Service with Director Chris Martinez

Chris Martinez just headlined last MMFF with his great Eugene Domingo film "Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 2" plus the blockbuster Vice Ganda and Coco Martin starrer "Super Parental Guardians" and he's not stopping there because this 2017 he wants to open the new year with a bang. A movie with Coleen Garcia, Arci Muñoz and Jessy Mendiola, Star Cinema proudly presents a swash buckling, sexy action adventure film called EXTRA SERVICE. 

No, it's not what you think you naughty little boy. It's affinity to that and what is served is something funny. I've seen the trailer and got to see Coleen do waxing services with Vin Abrenica, Arci does foot massage with a foot looking man, and Jessy play around with Enzo Pineda. Now they're not just masseurs all day because they're a real deal crime fighting squad and agent spies set to seek the lost "Perlas Ng Silangan". They've got to find the secret treasure that belongs to the Philippine government via the original femme funny fatale Ms. Carmi Martin.

Direk Chris Quirps "This movie is in some way a work around beautiful faces. They trained under Erwin Tagle who's a champimm fighter. They were all willing to undergo rigorous trainings, they did mixed martial arts and were done seriously. But if they need to make it funny, they also use massage moves. The formula? There's none, but you always do what you can creatively. This is up my alley and I can do this without doing anything nasty. This is spas by day and spies by night and I've done really funny things so make sure you stay at the last part of the movie because there will be something there for you. I always have flare, something sexy, something explosive and more. The ladies have no hangups, when Star Cinema called me there are already stars and I've worked with some of them years ago. They're going to be funny physically so it's very new to them and the audience. Add to that really physically fit boys like Enzo, Vin and EJ and you know you're having a great time. They were afraid at first but all I asked of them is to just have fun. When they made this, they were developing characters and they envibed them right away. Even if Arci was tired, she got it already, no qualms at all. You'll love them for sure. They (the men) were excited and knew they had to show everything that they can do, they're going to channel different characters and you have to watch how they get involved with the ladies. EJ may not be in the trailer but he's got a surprise in this film as an ex who wants to get back with her (Arci). They have different relationship angles, but all in the spirit of fun without being overboard on sexy comedy."

The movie is under Star Cinema and Skylight Films and will show on January 11. This is the first offering of the production so you better watch this if you love the ladies!
