    Toyota endorses En Tsumugi, first model end-of-life vehicle dismantler in PH

    Automotive leader Toyota has endorsed En Tsumugi ELV Dismantler Corporation as a model End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) dismantling facility, the first of its kind in the country, located in Mexico, Pampanga.

    A wholly-owned venture of the Hung family, owner of local metal recycling companies Supreme Mile Trading Corp. (SMTC) and CoroCrown Corporation, En Tsumugi is a result of a pilot project led by Japanese ELV dismantler Tsuruoka Co., Ltd. and financially supported by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Several Japanese businesses, including Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) and Mitsui & Co., Ltd., provided business development and technical assistance.

    The establishment of En Tsumugi is a significant milestone in the Philippine automotive industry’s push for a responsible management system for ELVs, or those vehicles with components classified by the local authorities as waste. The facility, open to various car makes, will serve as a benchmark in further developing the local recycling industry while promoting environmental sustainability and the adoption of best practices and foreign expertise.

    Through its local unit, Toyota Motor Philippines Corporation (TMP), Toyota’s involvement in the project includes providing technical support in various areas, such as environmental compliance, facility design, dismantling methodology, equipment requirements, and hazardous waste management.

    Furthermore, TMP donated five ELVs, including one hybrid electric vehicle, to En Tsumugi as training units for further equipping and enhancing of the facility’s capabilities.

    Toyota Global 100 Dismantlers Project

    “The establishment of a local ELV dismantler aligns with the goals of the ‘Toyota Global 100 Dismantlers Project,’ which aims to establish a network of proper ELV dismantling facilities worldwide,” said TMP President Masando Hashimoto during the inauguration ceremony of En Tsumugi in Pampanga.

    The project seeks to address the environmental challenges posed by ELVs, such as pollution and resource depletion, by promoting proper dismantling and recycling practices, which also contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

    At the same event, TMP bestowed its Certificate of Gratitude to En Tsumugi. Hashimoto also mentioned that En Tsumugi is the fourth ELV dismantler in the Southeast Asian region to receive this endorsement, following similar facilities in Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia.

    Toyota implements the Toyota Global 100 Dismantlers Project as part of its efforts towards “Establishing a Recycling-based Society and System” under the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050, which was globally introduced in 2015.

    Next stop in YClub Touring 2024: Shaping the next level of touring experience in Visayas!

    YClub Touring 2024, organized by Yamaha Motor Philippines (YMPH), turns to the Visayas for its second leg. YMPH invited a hundred Visayan YClub riders to bring out the best in motorcycle touring, discovering the landscapes, and unlocking adventures in every corner. It comes naturally to two-wheeled riders to seek a greater adventure out there with their motorcycles. Since then, a motorcycle has not been a mere mode of transportation but a channel for exploring new cultures.

    YClub Touring

    The growing riding community and the 175km triple route adventure!

    The YClub Touring 2nd leg bridged a hundred riders from different islands of Visayas. The pact was divided into three classifications with 40 riders each router, the 175km journey begins from the capital. The first route calls for adrenaline as the Team Blu (Sniper155, Mio Aerox, YZF-R3, YZF-R15, and WRI55R riders) got to have a motorcycle time trial sport experience.

    YClub Touring

    In contrast of fast-paced activity is the route of Team MAX (NMAX and XMAX). Translating a distinguished gentleman aura, the MAX riders show off their skills in the Golf putting tournament.

    YClub Touring

    Completing the roster is the Team Mio (125cc displacements) that fully expressed their artistry in Latte Art making.

    YClub Touring

    Though the activities were mirrored from the last leg, the connection created throughout the day signifies how these Visayan riders were eager to strengthen the growing community of Yamaha in Visayas. All teams traveled different routes but ended up in one culminating activity at Maayo Argao Hotel and Resort. Capping off the adventure, all 120 riders rode the same path on Day 2, sealing their YClub Touring 2024 chapter with a group photo in Naga City Boardwalk overseeing the panoramic vast ocean.

    Yamaha’s new collection of riding Visayan stories

    The YClub Touring 2024 created a whole new perspective on how Yamaha connects with its riders all over the country. Its unconventional style of touring made the riders closer to their chosen Yamaha motorcycle – making them feel more in every rev and redefining the joy of motorcycle touring.

    Canon addresses growing demand for smart workspace solutions in Asia 

    Canon recently announced plans to increase awareness of its smart workspace solutions in Asia. According to industry research, the Asia Pacific Smart Office market is set for strong growth between 2024 and 2029, with a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. This area is increasingly becoming more attractive to business sectors in Asia, including corporate offices, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, entertainment venues, and manufacturing firms.

    There is a demand for smart workspace solutions driven by users’ need for seamless, tech-driven management tools to enhance productivity and effortlessly manage dynamic work environments. To meet this need, Canon plans to target the growing Smart Office Market, offering multiple Smart Workspace Solutions, including access control, visitor management, room and office desk booking, and secure printing control. 

    These solutions address multiple business challenges, including the need for enhanced security, efficient space management, and better employee engagement. Besides, tightening access control with customizable profiles and HR integration, it also streamlines guest sign-ins. Space booking is made simple, with data-driven insights helping to optimize space usage. In the workspace, secure printing ensures that only verified users have access to sensitive documents. 

    One unique feature is the facial and smile recognition technology, powered by deep learning capabilities. The technology can also be leveraged in various ways, including gamifying user feedback by rewarding positive emotions or facilitating interactive experiences in the workspace. It is also beneficial to the service sector since it encourages front-line employees to start their workday with a smile. Customers can rate their personal experience easily by smiling at the system. In education, younger children can have fun with it, seeing it as a game they and their friends can play.

    World Smile Day

    This facial and smile recognition functionality also aligns with World Smile Day, on 4 October, an international day of celebration dedicated to spreading happiness and encouraging acts of kindness. To mark the occasion, Canon has produced two videos — the first celebrates happy moments, while the second video showcases how its Smart Workspace Solutions foster smiles and enhance user interactions. It also demonstrates how these solutions create positive experiences in various scenarios, encouraging smiles in the workplace.

    The first video can be viewed on Canon Philippines Facebook page (Canon Big Smiles) and the second video can be view on Canon Philippines Facebook page (SWS World Smile Day – Facebook) and  Canon Marketing Philippines LinkedIn (SWS World Smile Day – LinkedIn).

    “World Smile Day is a reminder of the power of a simple smile. Our Smart Workspace Solutions are designed to create positive and meaningful engagements, helping businesses cultivate an environment where people can thrive, grow, and contribute to innovation,” said Kenichiro Kitamura, director of Business Imaging Solutions for Canon Marketing (Philippines), Inc.

    In addition to smile recognition capabilities, other features of our Smart Workspace Solutions include:

    • Access Control: Authorized personnel can be granted access to restricted areas, with customizable profiles to limit entry if necessary. Data can be seamlessly integrated with HR systems for accurate time and attendance tracking. 
    • Visitor Management: To manage guest registration in a fast and secure manner, pre-registration can be done by staff in advance. Pre-registered guest will receive a QR code via SMS for easy check-in, which helps prevent overcrowding at the reception area. 
    • Space Booking: The solutions simplify the online booking process for meeting rooms and hot desks. Statistical analysis reports provide valuable insights for effective space planning and crowd management. 
    • Secure Printing: Sensitive information can be printed securely using Canon multifunction printers with uniFLOW print management. Documents are only released to authorized personnel after their identity has been verified. Users also have the option to scan and securely send documents to their email accounts or document management systems.

    Smart and Maya warn customers against ‘Text Hijacking’ scams

    PLDT wireless unit Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) and Maya, the #1 digital bank in the Philippines, are urging the public to stay vigilant against the rising threat of ‘text hijacking’ scams. These fraudulent messages mimic trusted companies like Smart and Maya, tricking unsuspecting users into clicking on malicious links or sharing personal information.

    Smart and Maya emphasize that they never send SMS with links requesting login credentials, personal information, or account verification. If you receive such a message, it is likely a text-hijacking attempt.

    Text hijacking, also known as ‘spoofing,’ involves scammers using fake cell sites to collect mobile numbers within a targeted area. They push messages directly to subscribers’ devices, bypassing legitimate service providers like Smart. Scammers also use illegal software to manipulate the sender’s name, making the messages appear as though they come from a trusted source. These messages often contain suspicious links, offering fake promotions like vouchers or prompting users to update their accounts.

    To help customers identify legitimate communications, Smart reminds users that its official domain is https://smart.com.ph, while Maya directs customers to its official domains: https://maya.ph and https://mayabank.ph.

    “We are committed to protecting our customers by continuously raising awareness about these scams and educating them on how to stay safe,” said Cathy Yang, FVP and head of Group Corporate Communications at PLDT and Smart. “We encourage everyone to be cautious and avoid clicking on suspicious links, no matter how urgent the message seems.”

    Maya and Smart remain committed to the security of their users and will continue to strengthen their efforts to combat these scams.

    Through its #BeCyberSmart campaign, Smart provides resources and tips on identifying phishing scams. The company has also launched the #HuliScam reporting portal, allowing customers to report suspicious messages quickly. If you receive a questionable SMS, you can report it via https://smart.com.ph/huliscam.

    Maya also proactively educates its users through in-app reminders and security tips via #ScamPatrol. Customers are encouraged to report suspicious activities by logging into the Maya app, going to their profile, and tapping ‘Get Help.’

    Global Tech Funds

    These Funds will function as feeder funds, initially invested in the Invesco Nasdaq-100 Exchange-Traded Fund, which tracks the NASDAQ-100 Index. The latter has historically outperformed the Philippine Stock Exchange Index in the last ten years.

    Global Tech Funds

    “The Sun Life Peso Global Tech Funds allow one to maximize their Peso assets by capitalizing on the tech market opportunities abroad over a long-term investment horizon,” Gonzalez-Chong said. “It’s a good alternative financial solution where clients can build their wealth while enjoying the benefit of insurance protection.”

    Global Alliance kicks off SYP Month 2024 to promote Responsible Communication

    The Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management (Global Alliance) is set to launch its annual Student and Young Practitioners (SYP) Month with the theme Responsible Communication. The #NextInLine initiative is a foundational element of this year’s SYP Month, aiming to empower students and young practitioners to uphold and advance the standards of responsible and ethical communication.

    The event will showcase a variety of activities across six global regions. During the first week of October, the #NextInLine Rocket Forum will feature a series of forums, discussions, and conferences to develop actionable strategies for responsible communication. Additionally, a global manifesto will be signed, signifying the participants’ commitment to becoming ethical and responsible young communication professionals.

    Meanwhile, the #NextInLine Hero Web Conference will unite young speakers from around the globe, ranging from recent graduates to industry leaders, to engage in impactful discussions. This virtual roundtable, scheduled on October 29, will delve into the future of responsible communication through interactive sessions and shared insights. This will provide participants with valuable insights and ideas to empower them in their respective fields.

    During this web conference, the #NextInLine Responsible Communicators’ Recognition ceremony will honor 60 exceptional candidates, with ten nominees selected from each region, for their outstanding contributions to innovation, social impact, and responsible communication.

    Additional efforts will also be initiated in alignment with this month-long event.  This involves the launch of a dedicated web page to provide students and young practitioners access to internship and job opportunities and an online hub that will serve as a digital repository of information that supports continuous learning and skill development.

    “We believe in the power of the next generation in driving meaningful change in public relations and communication,” said Ana Pista, board member of Global Alliance and chair of the Student and Young Practitioners Month. “This year’s initiative highlights the importance of empowering these emerging leaders with the essential tools and resources they need to elevate industry standards.”

    Justin Green, CEO and president of Global Alliance, also expressed his sentiments, stating, “We’re witnessing a shift in how communication shapes societies, and it’s essential that young professionals are not only equipped with technical skills but also a strong ethical foundation. Our goal is to inspire these future leaders to challenge norms, embrace innovation and always prioritize responsibility in their work. This initiative is about ensuring they’re prepared to drive meaningful, positive change in the global communication landscape.”

    Global Alliance is committed to providing a platform for students and young practitioners to engage with established industry leaders, forge connections with their peers and participate in international discussions surrounding responsible communication.

    Policymate offers dengue insurance amidst rising cases

    Advanced Abilities’ online insurance platform, Policymate, is offering Dengue Insurance with Select DengueGuard Medical Insurance by Pacific Cross. This provides PHP10,000 worth of coverage for in-patient and out-patient treatments.

    The rainy season has begun in the Philippines, which means Filipinos need to be more mindful of dengue symptoms that might arise. There has been a boost in dengue cases this 2024, with a 68% increase in comparison to 2023. Given the uptrend, it has become more crucial to be mindful of possible dengue symptoms, such as high fevers, severe migraines, and body pain.

    “With the rising dengue cases, it’s very pressing now to be prepared for whatever symptoms you may experience. We’re pleased to share this opportunity and support Filipinos in their times of need with our dengue insurance coverage on Policymate. Sudden illness can be alarming, and with our offerings, we hope to ease our clients’ worries,” says Angelo Antonio “AA” Buendia, CEO and president of Advanced Abilities.

    Aside from Dengue Insurance, Policymate also offers a holistic array of Medical Insurance options from Pacific Cross to suit a variety of emergencies. Users may opt to avail of more than one type of policy in order to gain more coverage, which may vary from emergency medical conditions, COVID treatment, and even post-hospitalization medication coverage.

    For instance, a client confined for dengue may purchase the Select DengueGuard policy, then on top of that, they may also purchase Select Assist in order to boost coverage for their final hospital bill. This way, clients may also maximize different benefits from the two products.

    With Policymate’s user-friendly platform and interface, users are able to browse and select their preferred Medical Insurance policy as needed. This hassle-free process makes filing for claims and tracking updates as easy as possible, with insurance coverage being made accessible for all Filipinos.

    “One of our goals has always been to bring modern services to Filipinos all over the country,” shares Buendia. “With Policymate, anyone can easily purchase the insurance policy they need and treat their illnesses as immediately as possible.”

    Policymate also provides options for Travel Insurance, Accident Insurance, Property Insurance, Automobile Insurance, and Pet Insurance.
