Also, Mang Inasal has added a third variant to its line of creamy Halo-Halo for merienda. The Mang Inasal Buko Pandan Halo-Halo, which is on a limited run, has been delighting customers since its introduction in July.

Challenging but still hopeful, though some are having a hard time seeing that glimmer of light, this is what we have been through in the last few months of being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, not only in the Philippines but globally. The effect of the crisis completely altered our normal way of life.
SkinWhite, a pioneering whitening brand stood out by bringing light not just to whiten skin but to bring the light of hope to everyone through its #BeTheLight campaign. This envisioned to champion togetherness with everyone, either by group or individual, to be the beacons of light in these trying times.



#BeTheLight campaign supported the good causes of several individuals and organizations through donation. Selected individuals were Marielle Solomon of Siargao Community Kitchen which aided more than 4,000 families in their community and neighboring barangays,
 

Barangay Holy Spirit PWD Association’s president Sarah dela Rosa whose efforts were recognized even outside their area,
 

Pia Alviola of Project Love who was able to donate more than 2,000 protective equipment to frontliners,
 

Melissa Olit of Aiza’s Community Kitchen reached more than 15,000 beneficiaries,



and Angela Lapinosa’s team for RiceAboveCovid, were able to provide more than 300 help packages.

SkinWhite also reached out to several organizations to work together to #BeTheLight to more people across the country. These organizations were Save San Roque Alliance, an organization that provided meals to families in Sitio San Roque, North Triangle, Quezon City, #SilogForACause, a group who prepared silog meals for frontliners and volunteers, Tulong Kabataan Volunteer Network, bikers turned donors of Life Cycles PH, FoodTray2Go, Act as One PH, Juan Spark Youth Leaders, and Project PEARLS (Peace, Education, Aspiration, Respect, Love, and Smiles) who have put smiles on children’s faces amidst the pandemic and the discomfort caused by the enforced quarantine. SkinWhite amplified their efforts by sharing their stories nationwide through social media with the hope that many people will be inspired to join in their causes.

Aside from individuals and organizations, the light also transcended to SkinWhite’s trade partners. The brand’s display rental fees were converted to augment the needs of each of the participating store’s dedicated frontliner employees. Relief packages including essential goods and SkinWhite products were prepared and given to them. Through this, SkinWhite and its trade partners were the light that gave these hardworking frontliner employees more encouragement and motivation during these hard times.

Everyone can share the light, and #BeTheLight.

As the #BeTheLight initiative heralds the value of working hand-in-hand, SkinWhite creatively thought of more ways to have more people on board in the mission to share the light. Different people were asked to write and send words of encouragement and appreciation to our kind-hearted volunteers and frontliners. This is to make them feel that they are not alone in this fight and that they are truly appreciated! These personal messages were included on the daily essential packages which SkinWhite prepared for them.

#BeTheLight aims to have brighter days ahead for everyone

#BeTheLight campaign proved that by coming together, significant and brighter results are sure to radiate among communities and neighborhoods. And just like light, it continues to transcend to everyone. This initiative is a reminder of hope, not only for frontliners, volunteers, and those affected by the pandemic, but for everyone who needs hope as we all bounce back from these trying times.

Now more than ever, SkinWhite will continue to #BeTheLight by giving hope and encouragement to more individuals and organizations to continue on with the cause to bring brighter days ahead!

Lark is making its mark in the industry by providing services and its current product which is the next-generation digital collaboration suite, has been launched, the Lark Mail. It redefines the email experience for enterprises in the Philippines. Breaking down the barrier of information silos by providing more transparent and collaborative communications, Lark Mail will now be seamlessly integrated with Lark’s suite of collaboration tools including Messenger, Video Calling, Docs and Sheets, Cloud Storage, and Calendar.

As one of the most important business tools, email continues to be a siloed form of communication that keeps information away from teams who primarily communicate using digital collaboration platforms. Lark Mail has finally connected email to the other essential tools used in today’s workplace, allowing users to:

Email a Chat Group:

In the recipients field, users can input the names of not just individual colleagues, but also chat groups to send team emails to.

Keep Email Organized with Smart Inbox:

Lark Mail automatically surfaces "Priority" emails first so users can see what's important at a glance.

Provide Quick Permissions:

When sending a Lark Doc in an email, users can see clearly whether the recipients have access to it or not, and give them the permission to read or edit the Lark Doc with one click.

Out of Office Reply:

Create a personalized out of office reply to automatically respond to emails you receive when on a business trip or leave.

Gmail Integration:

Instead of logging into Gmail each day, users can link their Gmail accounts to Lark to enjoy seamless integration between email, messenger and drive.

“Email remains a core component to the workflow of many organizations, but its separation from other collaborative tools such as messenger creates bottlenecks in productivity and makes it hard to stay on the same page," said Joey Lim, Lark VP of Commercial, Asia. "We strongly believe Lark Mail's integration of email with Messenger, Video Calling, Docs, Cloud Storage and Calendar will break down these barriers and transform the way email is used within our customers' organizations.”

Generated

In addition to Lark Mail, the company also recently introduced a new feature called Magic Share, which allows participants to edit content within the video call window, and view content being presented at their own pace. Magic Share eliminates the need to have multiple tabs open when working with colleagues on a collaborative document during a video call, and means users no longer have to worry about keeping up with a presenter that goes too fast or too slow. Once a document is shared, teammates can view it at their own pace and co-edit directly from within the video call window, effectively breaking down the wall between visual and written communication. Latecomers to a meeting can now scroll up to see material previously presented without interrupting the flow of the presenter, while presenters no longer have to worry about issues common to traditional screen sharing such as clients or internal stakeholders seeing inappropriate tabs on their computer or irritating notifications.

Lark Mail, along with the rest of Lark’s suite of collaboration tools consisting of 200GB cloud storage, 500GB email storage and unlimited video call minutes, are available free for businesses in the Philippines. Simply visit www.larksuite.com to switch over to Lark Mail from any email services.

Meals in our family is considered as one of the important part of the day, as we are all meet in once place to enjoy food. Sharing meals with the whole family are moments that shouldn’t be overlooked. Many times family members are just too busy to sit down together for a meal, so it’s important to grab every opportunity to bond, catch up on each other’s days, and spend time as a family.

Making time to have memorable meals can be very healthy for families. To achieve this, here are a few things to keep in mind:

It is efficient to plan ahead

Planning meals ahead of time, even just a week in advance, is way less stressful than having to think of today’s menu on the spot. This also gives a chance for every family member to suggest meals they want to eat for a specific day or what they want to try out.

One of Samsung Digital Appliances’ latest innovations, the Family Hub™, can help out with this and enrich family life. The Family Hub™ is Samsung Digital Appliances' first Smart Refrigerator that provides apps that are beneficial to households and gives families a better dining experience.

Samsung Family Hub™ (RS64T5F01B4)

The Family Board app helps members of the family share their calendar with each other and easily keep track of where everyone is at certain times. This app allows families to determine which day of the week everyone is available to have dinner together. Sharing notes from anywhere is also made possible with this Family Hub™ app, perfect for last minute reminders that need to be seen by the family right away.

Don’t be afraid to get creative
Give the family a chance to expand their taste and discover new dishes by experimenting with recipes. Trying out new food together as a family also makes for a very memorable experience for everyone.

The Family Hub™ has a Recipe and Meal Planner feature that uses AI and food profiling based on the ingredients that are already available in the refrigerator to suggest easy recipes with very simple instructions that even the kids can join in.

Keep track of the ingredients easily for the new recipes by using Family Hub’s Shopping List. This feature allows the creation and sharing of shopping lists for the next grocery run. With the View Inside Feature, forgetting what's already in stock at home will no longer be a problem. With three built-in cameras, it is possible to remotely check what’s inside the refrigerator using only a smartphone. This app also helps tag expiration dates which keeps the kitchen in order.

Enjoy the preparations as well
Having better family meals can start with the preparations in the kitchen too, not just at the table. Involving family members in preparing meals gives everyone more time to spend with each other and get to know each other in a new setting. Enjoying the preparations along with the meal itself as a family makes for a fun bonding experience for everyone.

With the Family Hub’s Smart View feature, surf the net and watch recipe videos for easy reference when cooking meals. This feature also allows one to listen to music and mirror the contents of a smartphone or Smart TV. Being able to do all these straight from the Family Hub™ comes in handy when family members are bonding in the kitchen.

Sharing pleasant meals with the family is more important than many people realize, so make every one count.
