Pepsi Tops Twitter Charts

If you're on Twitter, it's a really good sounding board for what you're thinking. It's a pretty good place to practice your freedoms and even brands like Pepsi are on it. This 2020 might have proven difficult for almost all of us but during that time, they were the only brand that's not tech related to be one of the most Tweeted Brands of the year. I've witnessed that personally when they launched much of their campaigns including #PepsiHitSaSarap together with their brand ambassadors KathNiel, SB19, Mimiyuuuh and Ricci Rivero. They did it with less advertising resources as they concentrated on cultural relevance, the community, and what's been talked about during those specific times.

Pepsi also listens to the audience, responds to those that fell and be heard as relevant. They know what you want, and give it to you.They also had KPOP be paid attention with especially with Blackpink and SB19. Their ambassadors also inspire people, and amplify what they want to put out there. They deserve every bit of success in the social channels they are in.

Each time you see one of these guys and gals know that they're people who represent their brand and have reached you telling Pepsi's story.

Huawei Partners with Local Institutions for Inclusive Growth in the Digital Economy

Huawei just concluded their Intelligent Finance Summit 2021 last November 18 with thier theme "Digital Infrastructures for Inclusive Digital Economies". Industry leaders from different agencies and fintech companies shared their thoughts on best practices on how they could promote inclusive growth in the next few years.

Huawei Enterprise Business Group's Jason Cao says "Huawei has been in this industry for a little over a decade and has served over 2000 institutions which includes the top banks. Our company has been a significant partner in digital transformation and we're not stopping there."

During the talk, they concentrated on what the effects of digital transformation is and how to make it inclusive in the Philippines. The industry is still growing and it's time to discover more industry trends. BSP continues to set really good financial goals, Fintech Philippines Association also promotes inclusion, UnionDigital shares how blockchain could be used to expand this business, and PayMaya gives good advice on how to use digital payments to enable more businesses to grow especially in the Philippines. With Huawei cooperating even more, this could accelerate even further and bear more fruitful partnerships in the years to come.

That's amazing to see, as it become a reality for all of us at this side of the world.

That JOLLIBEE Chick'nwich Is Good

Everybody's talking about it so here we go trying it out today. It's Jollibee's crunchy, juicy, and flavorful Chickn'wich. First of all, the name convention is good so they wouldn't be like the run of the mill chicken sandwich. 

The Chick'nwich is basically a huge chicken fillet sandwich that's been breaded, fried to perfection so you get to have a crunchy exterior and juicy meat inside. The meat actually reminded me of the actual Chickenjoy so they probably have processed that the same. The crunchy breading was different though because they probably needed to have that stay crunchy for a longer time.

The dressing was also different, not the same goop that they use for other burgers. Aside from that, the bun is also on a different level. It's softer, shiny on top, thin to just give you enough bread for the thick chicken cut they got you on the sandwich. I think it's brioche and fits the thing perfectly. It's not spicy so I'd be glad to see a version of it soon. I bet they'll be making a different Chick'nwich too because the box for it has "Others" on another check mark. For me, that's good news.

If you're hearing different opinions or reviews about the Jollibee Chick'nwich, it might be a good time to not listen to their stories. Do yourself a favor and get one yourself. I'm pretty satisfied with what I ate for that amount of money. Yes you could say there are better ones out there but are they priced like Jollibee? I don't think so.

Go give yourself a break and get one on selected Jollibee stores in Metro Manila. I think they're rolling it out in other places soon!

Environmental Efforts Frutition Liquid Hand Soap from Destileria Limtuaco & Co. Inc

World class and oldest distillery in the Philippines Destileria Limtuaco & Co. Inc (established 1852) has been producing Paradise Mango Rum Liqueur since 2002. It's one of the first things they did in order to produce alcoholic beverages that are 100% Filipino made.  Through further research and innovation, they started doing Manille Liqueur de Calamansi in 2014, then Dalandan a few years after. These have been all locally produced and is part of their enduring corporate passion to help farming communities in the country. Farmers also profit more by dealing with the company directly.

They have also done waste management efforts and get byproducts of oil from calamansi and dalandan skin. There is also pulp, seeds and rinds. They thought of making these into other things, ground it up, and make it into an active ingredient for soaps they call SI ANTI BACTERIAL HAND SOAP. I've seen it and used it in my home today, and by any standards, this looks and feels phenomenal... Destileria Limtuaco & Co. Inc has a gem in their hands!

They produced this hand soap with whitening and antiseptic properties, something that you wouldn't see in the Philippine market or the rest of the world. That right there is produced from innovations in the byproduct of Manille Liqueurs and Destileria Limtuaco & Co. Inc continues to do a lot of research in order to have less carbon footprint, less wastage in operations. I'm impressed with what they have thought of and imagine the impact this could do with the environment and the thousands that could benefit in generating jobs by selling them. I hope they could device a way to do that especially for those who have no access to work these days because of the pandemic.

Congratulations Ms. Olivia Limpe-Aw, this is impressive!
