    EVs offered as top prizes for Globe’s G Chance the Raffle 2023

    In celebration of G Day, Globe is giving customers a chance to drive to the new era of mobility, as it gives customers the opportunity to experience sustainable transport by raffling off electric vehicles as top prizes in this year’s G Chance the Raffle.

    Globe is giving away three Gogoro Smartscooters and one BYD Dolphin Pure EV in this year’s G Chance the Raffle as part of the G Day celebration, its annual thanksgiving program for customers.

    This is the first time for Globe to include e-vehicles among prizes in its biggest yearly raffle, as it concretizes its stance in making climate tech solutions available to the public, with the announcement early this year of Gogoro Smartscooters to be available in the Philippines by the end of the year.

    “As a company, we’ve been consciously integrating sustainable solutions in our operations – and now, as we celebrate G Day, we want our customers to experience the same benefits through these sustainable options for their transportation. We hope that it not only reminds them of how much we value them, but also encourages them to make sustainable choices in their lifestyles,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe chief sustainability and corporate communications officer.

    Gogoro Smartscooters are powered through GoStations where users can conveniently swap depleted batteries for fully-charged ones in as quick as just six seconds. Globe’s 917Ventures, the Ayala Corporation and Gogoro Taiwan partnered to bring the clean transport system to the Philippines this year, with its commercial launch set in Q4 2023.

    BYD Dolphin Pure EV, distributed by AC Motors under Globe principal Ayala Corporation with its key dealer network, is a 5-seater electric vehicle that runs on a 70-kW electric motor with 180 nm torque, powered by an ultra-safe 44.9-kWh Lithium-ion Iron Phosphate battery. With a 400-km range, the stylish compact hatchback can comfortably handle out-of-town trips with no noise nor vibrations, zero emissions and world-class safety.

    “Our G Chance the Raffle brings together excitement and advocacy as we debut these e-vehicles as prizes for our loyal customers. This is a rare and life-changing opportunity for them to own vehicles of the future today and a whole new way for us to make dreams happen,” said Jerome Patalud, head of Globe Rewards.

    For as low as 1 Globe Rewards point as a Globe Mobile, Prepaid, Postpaid, Platinum, Broadband or Home Prepaid WiFi user, you’ll get a chance to win one of these EVs.

    Mober, the pioneering delivery service company at the nexus of innovation and sustainability, has proudly unveiled its flagship electric vehicle (EV) charging hub in Pasay City. Merely 1.5 kilometers (km) from IKEA Pasay, this contemporary 800-square-meter facility crystallizes Mober’s unwavering dedication to an eco-friendly future, propelling the company into the vanguard of green logistics in Southeast Asia.

Mober has invested PHP2-million in the construction of the charging station.

    “We strategically opted for this charging capacity as our EV fleet remains dormant during nighttime, allowing optimal charging without overwhelming the grid,” explained CEO Dennis Ng.

    He further unveiled plans to incorporate more potent 22kw chargers along with a selection of DC chargers in the imminent charging points in Cavite/Laguna and Bulacan, amplifying Mober’s commitment to versatility and adaptability in its green infrastructure.

    Ng elaborated, “This inauguration symbolizes not just a milestone but a beacon of our overarching blueprint for an environmentally-conscious logistic framework. And, we’re just getting started.”

    Beyond infrastructure, Mober’s unique partnership model provides an unprecedented advantage to businesses, allowing them to transition to green delivery operations with zero upfront costs, effectively democratizing access to green logistics. This hassle-free collaboration is pivotal in encouraging more companies to embrace sustainable logistics, reinforcing Mober’s role as a game-changer in the sector.

    Aligning with the progressive mandates of the Electric Vehicles and Charging Systems (EVIDA) Act, Mober’s initiatives underscore the Philippines’ assertive stance on eco-driven policies and endeavors. With Mober’s pioneering approach, businesses have a definitive roadmap to swiftly decarbonize their last and mid-mile delivery systems, heralding a new era in business sustainability.

    Top collegiate MLBB teams face off at first Smart University Clash

    PLDT wireless unit and top esports supporter Smart Communications, Inc. recently gathered the top collegiate teams for the first nationwide Smart University Clash, an inter-school Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) tournament played over the Smart Giga Arena. 

    “We are thrilled to host the first Smart University Clash that harnesses the youth’s passion for mobile gaming. It’s an opportunity for them to bond with their friends and form a team, and develop their strategy to compete at the Giga Arena against the best teams from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao,” said Melvin Consunji-Nubla, FVP and Head of Smart Go-To-Market and Subscriber Management. 

    Between July and August, Giga Arena saw intense battles between 59 teams in a single elimination format. When the dust settled, eight squads survived to cross swords in the final phase held at SM North Edsa Cyberzone. 

    VIRIDIS ARCUS from the De La Salle University dominated the first ever Smart University Clash. The DLSU quintet of Journey Nixon ‘Jinx’ Ong, Joshua ‘Aspect’ Tating, Ryu ‘laytutu’ Godoy, Clement ‘Clem’ Chua, and Francis ‘N4TSU’ De Mesa crushed FEU INVICTA from Far Eastern University in the quarterfinals before subduing a gritty KABUD ESPORTS from the University of Cebu-Banilad in the semifinals.  

    The TELETIGERS TGR GOLD from the University of Sto. Tomas toppled EAC-C GENERALS representing Emilio Aguinaldo College – Cavite in the quarters. They, then, knocked out HCDC ESPORTS A from Holy Cross of Davao College in the semis to set up a giga showdown with the esports athletes from Taft. 

    But VIRIDIS ARCUS, with laser focus and surgical strikes, blanked the UST-based squad. “We just kept it simple. We front-loaded our tanks and stuck to our strategy,” said Joshua ‘Aspect’ Tating, the league’s first Most Valuable Player.  

    HCDC ESPORTS B from Davao and EXCELSIORS EXPO from Carlos Hilado Memorial State University (CHSMU) in Bacolod City completed the quarterfinal cast. The champions of the first Smart University Clash took home P75,000 in cash. The first runner up received P45,000 while the second runner up received P25,000. 

    “Esports is also a competition of the mind. It demands teamwork. It encourages the youth to be more collaborative. Smart did a great job hosting the tournament,” said Manuel Buncio, EXCELSIORS EXPO coach and a faculty at CHMSU. 

    Giga Arena is Smart’s esports and arcade gaming platform that makes it easy for Smart and TNT subscribers to play their favorite mobile games and join tournaments to compete with other players.

    The platform offers flexibility for users to customize their experience depending on the type of game and the number of players or groups they want to play with. Subscribers can also win instant prizes in arcade games and tournaments.  

    Giga Arena provides a professional gaming experience where players can hone their skills in a competitive field. And to make sure they enjoy a seamless experience, the platform assigns a dedicated tech support team that tournament hosts can chat with anytime during the event. 

    To get the best deals for Giga Arena, Smart and TNT subscribers are encouraged to download and load up via the Smart App to collect Giga Arena tickets that come with their favorite offers. Giga Arena tickets are needed to join tournaments and play arcade games on the platform. 

    The Smart University Clash is part of Smart’s broad range of activities that empowers the youth to live more today by giving them opportunities to pursue their passions. The initiative also highlights the use of technology to create a happy space that builds bridges of collaboration across sectors and communities.

    ASUS ROG Ally (Z1 Extreme) reviewed

    ASUS ROG Ally (Z1 Extreme) reviewed

    It’s not a console. Thanks for reading the review, we’ll catch you next time!

    Ok, there’s more to the ROG Ally than that, but for better or worse, that opener is exactly what it is. If you’re interested in the device, keep reading, and see if it’s the next device for you.

    Design: 3.5/5

    For a device that has me all worked up about what it can do, I’m not particularly excited about how it looks. Sure, there’s only so much you can do with a slab of plastic and glass, and I’m not really a fan of the “gaming” treatment on gaming hardware, but this strikes me as a little half-baked.

    ROG Ally

    It’s done in plain white, with sticks and buttons on either side of the gloriously large screen, and I do appreciate the use of the cooling vents to show off the ROG design language, but it’s too busy to call understated, and too plain to call edgy.

    ROG Ally

    There’s also the matter of the ports and buttons at the top, which I’ll get to more in the next section, but considering what it’s made to do, I feel like a little more thought could have been put into designing what is essentially a genre-defining device. A sub-700-gram PC gaming device? Yes, please!

    Hardware: 4.5/5

    If you hadn’t been compelled to at least acknowledge what AMD has been doing for the computing market in recent years, it’s time to start. The ROG Ally packs the Ryzen R1 Extreme processor. There’s no need to go into the details of the Z1E, but it’s a firecracker of a processor, and is a great choice for the platform. This is accompanied by 16GB of RAM, 512GB of solid-state storage, and an absolutely gorgeous 7-inch, 120Hz, FreeSync display, and variable refresh rate to make the most of the screen.

    ROG Ally

    Audio is handled by two front-firing speakers, underneath the generously sized controls, and the power button even has a fingerprint scanner, for one-touch login. It even comes with a 3.5mm audio jack. Nice.

    The device has a 40WH battery, which is large, but battery size is relative, and in this case, I’d hesitate to call it anything more than “adequate.” Upgrading the 512GB SSD is quite simple, and Asus themselves gives you a guide, which is quite a refreshing change.

    User Experience: 5/5

    Before grabbing for the pitchforks and torches saying I’m some sort of ROG shill, let me say that as a gaming device, it’s a few blocks away from the neighborhood of perfection. HOWEVER, if you view this as more than just a dedicated portable gaming device, then you can really see the appeal.

    But before that, let’s go over some of the basic stuff. First: It’s a full Windows 11 device that does Windows 11 device things. There’s a desktop, a start button, and a taskbar, just like your laptop or desktop. Second: It’s not a console. The ROG Ally runs Windows, and has all the good and bad of the OS. Third: it has a hefty serving of what some might call bloatware, but since it’s such a niche, cutting-edge device, it’s probably better to leave all the extra software on there for now.

    Before I start singing its praises — and trust me, I will — let me go over some of the points that give me a bit of an itch.

    The placement of the USB-C port is annoying. Yes, it’s great that it’s at the top, and I understand the reason for it being beside the proprietary XG port, but because of how it’s laid out, it’s frustratingly difficult to plug the charger in without looking, and given that a lot of the time, I play in bed with the lights out, plugging in to charge while I sleep is more difficult than it should be.

    The inclusion of a fingerprint scanner within the power button is great, so users don’t have to change their grip and tap at the screen to enter a password, but it’s almost perfectly flush with the top of the device, so it can be hard to feel for when trying to power the device on. Again, this is especially true in the dark. It feels like they spent a lot of time working on all the other parts of the device, that these little details got missed.

    HOWEVER.

    ROG Ally

    All of this is more than made up for by what the ROG Ally can do. I’m subscribed to Xbox Gamepass so I can, at my leisure, look through the library at all the games I don’t have time to play. Among those titles is Starfield. I have tweaked the settings enough to get impressive graphics while maintaining upwards of 30FPS on the most congested parts. Even when the framerate dips, there’s no tearing, thanks to VRR, so the dips aren’t even really noticeable. I mostly game on the 15W setting, at 720P, and I honestly enjoy every second of it.

    Which is good, because you can’t really get very many of those seconds. I can manage a little over an hour of gameplay before the battery gives up. There’s really only so much power you can cram into a device this size, so I’m not really complaining, but if you’re looking for Switch-level play time, you’re going to be disappointed. Still, it’s an amazing experience while it lasts, thanks to responsive controls, that gorgeous screen, and the wow factor of being able to play these titles on such a small device, along with speakers that punch several divisions above their weight class.

    There’s more to the RPG Ally than gaming, though. One of the things that really makes this device shine is the fact that it runs Windows 11. This gives you access to all the functionality of any other Windows 11 device. I have been writing this review at various tables, using an iPad as a display thanks to third-party apps, and a wireless mouse and keyboard. That in itself isn’t that big a feat, but once you realize it’s still a powerful gaming device on its own, and it’s replacing a heavy gaming laptop, then it starts to make sense. Keep a monitor, mouse, and keyboard at your desk, and the small footprint pops right into a small bag, ready to be pulled out for gaming whenever you can spare a moment. With an external display, you’ll get well over 4 hours of work between charges at lower wattages.

    Value: 4.5/5

    At almost PHP45,000, the ROG Ally is several blocks removed from being called “cheap,” but considering what it can do in terms of gaming and productivity, it’s actually a pretty good deal. To be fair, it’s not for everyone. If you’re looking for a console-like fire-up-and-play experience that works without much work, this might not be for you. This is a device that will best serve enthusiasts, particularly given some of the quirks a first-generation device will necessarily have. If you’re willing to work for your portable gaming experience, this is your sign to jump in.

    FullFill offers game-changing ecosystem to empower Filipino MSMEs

    FullFill is a 100% Filipino-owned business operations and fulfillment support startup fostering a roster of tenant partners — enterprises needing an operations solutions partner — and collaborator partners — startups who offer services related to running and scaling a business. The company curates a two-way support system where these two sets of industry contributors can benefit from each other through the unique services and products that each offers.

    Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are the new drivers of the economy, making up 99.58% of the total enterprises that operate in the country, and employing 63% of the country’s workforce. FullFill (We Empower Ecommerce Solutions, Inc.) recognizes their role in driving holistic nationwide growth as the company delivers end-to-end operations solutions for emerging entrepreneurs nationwide.

    “We recognize that there is an intensive gap that needs to be addressed in setting up a business, especially for startups,” shares FullFill CEO and co-founder Joy Chua. “With the comprehensive services that we offer through FullFill and our collaborator partners, we want them to feel empowered that they can manage their operations and scale their ventures,” she added. 

    Currently, tenant partners within the FullFill HQ are supported by its community of collaborators offering 360° support in business registration, accounting, marketing and advertising, social media management, crowd-funding, and more. By cultivating an ecosystem of MSMEs that uplifts other MSMEs, FullFill works toward a shared vision of helping businesses scale and expand their horizon to more opportunities in their network.

    Champion for local talent and MSME empowerment

    Within their headquarters in Pasig are brands carrying newfound success with FullFill. Through its strategic location, tenant partners, particularly those in need of assistance in scaling and those from provincial areas, are able to efficiently carry out their operations while being more accessible to their customers. The company supports the full-time operations of province-based startups like Nature’s Apothecary, a producer and distributor of locally-sourced loose leaf tea from Agusan Del Norte.

    Expanding its reach in B2B industries, FullFill has been the partner of the manufacturer of non-toxic and sustainable household cleaners, Messy Bessy, for its end-to-end warehousing and fulfillment operations for both B2B and B2C channels. Aklan-based bag distributor, 210 Trading, has also tapped the company for nationwide department store distribution. FullFill handles its cargo reception from abroad, quality checks, sorting, tagging, repackaging, and logistics coordination.

    Bringing forth the company’s mission to help MSMEs scale and reach wider audiences, FullFill is trusted by home-based entrepreneurs like Playdate Collection (kids supply distributor) and Aleros (award-winning makers of fruity chili sauces). Both share a common journey from being home-based startups to requiring larger storage and a more efficient operations partner for scaling and meeting market demands.

    The company’s 360° support also helped brands grow even as their owners pursued life goals abroad. Travel Clothing, owned by a seafarer based in Canada, entrusts FullFill with its operations while he travels the world and pursues other passions.

    “Listening to our tenants, we really found that the day-to-day operations and not knowing how to do things efficiently, took up the majority of their time, making them lose focus on their passion of growing and rebuilding their businesses,” shares FullFill COO and co-founder Che Secillano, “Given these pain points, we try to find solutions that would ease their worries and help them regain that spark and drive to further their ventures,”

    This comes as an opportune time to provide more options for Filipino business owners as the growing demand for local businesses continues to grow. The company believes that not only is it important to enhance and expand the MSME industry, but to ensure that, along with its growth, Filipino business owners are given the right support to help them cater to the unique needs of their market.

    “With the evolving consumer behavior, we have to be creative and strategic in making sure that we address the needs of local businesses — no matter where they are in the country. FullFill stays committed to continuously improving our services and cultivating an ecosystem where every aspiring entrepreneur has the opportunity to thrive,” concludes Chua.

    Cisco unveils next-generation environmental sustainability strategy

    Cisco unveils next-generation environmental sustainability strategy

    Cisco, a global leader in technology and networking solutions, has announced the launch of “The Plan for Possible,” an ambitious and comprehensive environmental sustainability strategy that aims to build a regenerative future.

    This year is on track to being the hottest year on record. There is a critical need to limit the temperature rise to no more than 1.5C to avoid catastrophic changes to the climate, and we are currently at 1.1C.

    The world needs a sustainable future: one in which we can phase out our reliance on fossil fuels, address a century’s worth of pollution, provide economic opportunity to communities around the world, and align our activities with the physical boundaries of our Earth. The progress we make in this decade will be critical for future generations.

    Acknowledging these pressing issues, Cisco is going beyond the “doing no harm” approach and building a holistic strategy to environmental sustainability. The “plan for possible” includes how the company operates its business, how it engages with suppliers, and how it helps customers and communities reduce their environmental impacts and adapt to a changing world.

    “The world is connected, but we’re suffering from new forms of disconnection: from each other and our health, and from the health of the planet. Fortunately, technology can help us rethink operating and business models in ways that are digital and low carbon, but also improve individual wellbeing and create opportunities for communities,” said Mary de Wysocki, chief sustainability officer at Cisco. “With Cisco technology, we are helping power the world with affordable clean energy through digitizing smart grids and smart buildings, we are designing out waste by re-building products from used ones, and we are using the Internet of Things (IoT) to protect the world’s biodiversity.”

    Priority 1: Transition to clean energy

    To power the world with renewables, the grid requires updated digital infrastructure to connect diverse, decentralized sources of clean energy. But even as the world electrifies, there is a need to simultaneously reduce the amount of energy used by a connected economy. As a part of this priority, Cisco has set a goal to reach Net Zero across its value chain by 2040, which includes both its suppliers and our customers’ use of energy.

    The company is tackling this with leading energy efficiency innovation, connecting clean energy and digitizing the grid​, and collaborating with customers, partners, and suppliers to accelerate the energy transition. With connectivity at the heart of digitalization, Cisco is in a unique position to equip businesses with technology solutions that help them achieve their sustainability goals. This includes the Silicon One chip, Cisco’s networking device for AI processing, which reduces energy consumption while increasing bandwidth, and Universal Power Over Ethernet (PoE) to optimize energy use for smart buildings.  Cisco is also helping its supply chain set GHG reduction targets. *

    Priority 2: Evolve the business to circular

    Cisco aims to transform its business to extend the useful life of its products and provide ongoing services. It aims to do so by adopting and scaling its business models to extend the product value and reduce environmental impacts​, investing in technology incubation to be at pace with environmental science​, and championing a digital, nature-positive value chain.

    The company is on track to achieving its goal of incorporating circular design principles into 100 percent of new products and packaging by 2025. Also, it launched several programs that enable circularity in its value chain:

    • The Cisco Takeback and Reuse Program, which lets customers return hardware that has reached end-of-use, at no cost.
    • Green Pay, a circular IT payment solution, that eliminates upfront hardware acquisition costs, offers predictable payments for 5 years, and an incentive of 5 percent. As part of this program, Cisco recovers products free of charge so these can be reused or recycled.
    • Remanufacturing devices through Cisco Refresh to give them a new life for our business and planet.

    Priority 3: Invest in resilient ecosystems

    Recognizing the importance of resilient ecosystems and investing in regenerative solutions, Cisco sets its third priority on enabling communities to adapt to climate realities, cultivating talent for the regenerative economy, and deploying technology to protect and restore ecosystems.

    In 2021, Cisco Foundation committed USD100 million in investment over ten years in climate solutions that already draw down the carbon in the atmosphere and help regenerate depleted ecosystems.

    All of Cisco’s strategic priorities are underpinned by strong governance, embedding sustainability into its operations with the intent to maintain alignment with scientific advancements.

    “Sustainability has become a top priority on the Philippine government’s agenda, with the recent launch of its Resiliency Framework for Environment and Natural Resources, which aims to drive existing climate action and resilience initiatives of local government units in the country. As organizations in the Philippines accelerate their digital transformation journey, investments in technology offer them an opportunity to make a transition that is both digital and sustainable. As a trusted technology partner to businesses in the Philippines, we are committed to innovating with our customers’ sustainability goals in mind, and helping businesses make choices with an eye toward a more sustainable future,” said Zaza Soriano-Nicart, managing director, Philippines, Cisco.

    With customers encompassing Philippines metro areas and beyond, Sarisuki serves both urban and rural areas in the Philippines, offering doorstep delivery through the Agri Super Highway and a diverse range of products not readily available in local markets. The platform offers competitive pricing by removing multiple supply chain middlemen, minimizing extra costs for both farmers and consumers.

We at MoEngage are dedicated to providing Sarisuki with deep and actionable insights on consumer behavior, preferences, likes, and dislikes, thus enabling the community selling platform to personalize experiences and engage customers better,” said Saurabh Madan, general manager, Southeast Asia, ANZ, and Japan, MoEngage.

    Sarisuki’s customer base has expanded with an increase in orders placed through Agri Super Highway, driven by improved digital infrastructure and expanded internet and mobile connectivity in the Philippines. With this, customers can easily browse and order a variety of products with just a few clicks and have groceries delivered directly to their doorstep.

    “The MoEngage partnership will help us enhance communication with our steadily growing customer base. With MoEngage’s advanced capabilities, we can personalize our interactions with customers, providing them with relevant and timely updates about new products, promotions, and special offers. This level of personalization will strengthen our relationship with customers and ensure that they stay informed about our platform’s latest offerings and improvements.

Furthermore, MoEngage’s multi-channel capabilities will enable us to engage with customers through various communication channels, including Email, Push Notifications, SMS, and In-app Communication efforts’, said Bam Mejia, chief commercial offer and co-founder, Sarisuki.
