#TogetherwitPride Inclusion Talks tackled SOGIESC awareness and what it means to be a true ally of the LGBT+ community in the workplace – with Christopher Eugenio of the Philippine Financial Inter-Industry Pride, Bem Uychinco, H2R Global Transition Manager of Nestle Business Services and Johann Ang, HR Business Partner of Nestle Philippines.

Nestlé Philippines celebrated Pride Month by pursuing workplace diversity and inclusion

Upholding its pursuit of diversity and inclusion by providing equal opportunities for everyone, and building a workplace in which all people are treated with dignity and respect, Nestlé Philippines joined the LGBT+ community’s celebration of Pride Month in June with the determination to foster an even more diverse and inclusive culture within its ranks.

“Nestlé’s values are rooted in respect - for ourselves and for others, for diversity, and for the future.  Diversity and inclusion are a foundation of our strength as an organization,” said Nestlé Philippines Chairman and CEO Kais Marzouki.

Acting on its commitment to give life to diversity and inclusion, Nestlé encourages its employees to “Bring your whole self to work” through education and awareness building, while creating a work environment that cultivates respect through its programs and policies.

Early in 2020, Nestlé Philippines was one of the first markets to launch the implementation of the Nestlé Gender-neutral Parental Support Policy that provides a more supportive and nurturing environment for new parents. The policy enforces gender equality and diversity, recognizing today’s diverse family structures:  biological or adoptive parents, including same-sex partners, single parents, and legal guardians. With the enhanced policy, the company is one of the first to extend paid parental leave to same-sex partners in the country.

Similarly, the company’s medical program for dependents, as well as other family-related benefits, support common-law and same-sex partnerships.

In the Philippines, all of Nestlé leaders have been trained in unconscious bias and sexual harassment prevention.  The company has also launched a mandatory e-learning course, “Diversity and Inclusion at Nestle: the LGBT+ Community,” which focuses on fostering inclusion for the LGBT+ community, and forms part of an expanding diversity and inclusion learning curriculum.

Nestlé Philippines is a member of Philippine Financial & Inter-Industry Pride, a collaborative, voluntary and non-profit community of practice for equal opportunity employers and inclusive business organizations in the country.

As part of Pride Month, Nestlé Philippines held a forum called #TogetherwithPride Inclusion Talk, which tackled awareness of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sexual characteristics (SOGIESC), and allyship, more specifically supporting equality and the rights of the LGBT+ community in the workplace, with Christopher Eugenio of Philippine Financial & Inter-Industry Pride. Inspirational coming out stories were shared by Bem Uychinco, H2R Global Transition Manager of Nestlé Business Services and Johann Ang, Senior HR Business Partner of Nestlé Philippines.

Nestlé Philippines engages in continuous efforts to make the workplace more inclusive by reviewing its policies and practices in its entire value chain, and fulfilling its role in influencing and inspiring society to be more inclusive.

Bb. Pilipinas crowns new title-holders to represent the PHL

Newly crowned Queens to vie for international titles

 

Four beautiful, intelligent, and eloquent Filipinas were crowned at the Grand Coronation Night of the Binibining Pilipinas pageant held last night, July 11 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

 

Hannah Arnold took home the Bb. Pilipinas International title, Samantha Panlilio was crowned Bb. Pilipinas Grand International, Cinderella Faye Obeñita won the title of Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental, and Maureen Montagne earned the Bb. Pilipinas Globe crown.

 

Meanwhile, Gabrielle Camille Basiano and Meiji Cruz were named Bb. Pilipinas 2021 1st Runner-up and Bb. Pilipinas 2021 2nd Runner-up, respectively.

 

“We are extremely proud of all of our winners tonight,” Irene Jose, Bb. Pilipinas Executive Committee member said. “These women showed unparalleled resiliency, beauty, intelligence, and talent, and the fact that they are all going home as winners is a testament to these qualities. We are excited for the next phase of their journey, and we will be behind them all the way.”

 

The four crowned winners will have the chance of a lifetime to represent the Philippines at some of the most prestigious beauty pageants internationally.

 

The pageant was the first-of-its-kind event to be held with a live telecast from the Smart Araneta Coliseum. The event was approved and closely guided by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Infectious Diseases (IATF). This is also the first time in the 57-year history of Bb. Pilipinas that the pageant took place in a bubble, where all candidates were locked-in the Novotel Manila Araneta City. Aside from this, the strictest health and safety protocols were implemented and adhered to to minimize the chance of contracting COVID-19.  

 

Special titles were also awarded during the Grand Coronation Night of Bb. Pilipinas. The Best in National Costume is Ma. Ruth Erika Quin, while Lesley Anne Ticaro received the Ms. Friendship title, and the Ms. Talent award was given to Vianca Marcelo. Meiji Cruz was named Best in Swimsuit and Gabrielle Camille Basiano was given the Best in Long Gown title. Another special award is the Face of Binibini Award which was awarded to Patrizia Garcia.

 

Meanwhile, here are the recipients of other special Awards:

·         Binibini Araneta City– Francesca Taruc

·         Manila Bulletin Readers’ Choice Award– Micca Rosal

·         JAG Denim Queen– Hannah Arnold

·         Ms. World Balance – Alexandra Faith Garcia

·         Ms. Alagang SIlka – Ma. Francesca Taruc

·         Ms. Ever Bilena – Maureen Montagne

·         Ms. Pizza Hut – Karen Laurrie Mendoza

·         Ms. Cream Silk – Maureen Montagne

 

With the theme “I am Binibini”, the 57th Binibining Pilipinas pageant went back to its core values, celebrating and elevating Filipinas while empowering and enabling them to showcase their beauty, grace, and wit on a global stage.

 

This year’s Bb. Pilipinas took place after hitting pause last year because of the impact of the pandemic. And as we continue to tread the road towards recovery, this year’s pageant also aims to inspire Filipinos while persuading the public to avail of vaccines being offered by the government.

 

“Through the years, Bb. Pilipinas has gone beyond the bounds of being a beauty pageant. It has served as a beacon of hope for many Filipinos. This year, as we continue to face the challenges and uncertainties brought by the pandemic, Bb. Pilipinas reassures Filipinos that there is hope. We will get over these difficult times and we’ll eventually return to a sense of normalcy. But for that to happen, we need to do our part, and that means we need to get vaccinated,” Jose said.

 

This year’s pageant made herstory, as Ms. Universe 2018 Catriona Gray and Bb. Pilipinas Grand International 2016 and Ms. Grand International First Runner-Up Nicole Cordoves hosted the much-anticipated event. This is the first time that an all-female pair hosted the Bb. Pilipinas Grand Coronation Night.

 

The Binibining Pilipinas 2021 Grand Coronation Night was aired on A2Z Channel, Kapamilya Channel, and Metro Channel, and was simultaneously live streamed on iWantTFC and the official Binibining Pilipinas YouTube page.

Pilipinas mobile app, it’s available for both Android and iOS users. You may also like and follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You can also subscribe to Bb. Pilipinas on YouTube.  

Usapang TANGhalian

Make the most of lunch in the new normal through Usapang TANGhalian!

 

Due to lockdowns, families are spending most of their time together at home. Parents and kids are physically together for days on end, working and going through distance learning. However, are you, as parents, taking this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to know your kid and build stronger relationships with them? With so many things happening at home, it is easy to forget to set time to bond and know your child. 

An example of such a moment is lunch, a meal that is often rushed with parents mentally preoccupied with the next task of the day. Instead of being a time to share a meal with the family and connect over conversations, lunch has become a time where the family is physically together but emotionally distant from one another. This is one of the reasons why kids nowadays feel neglected or lonely. 

Tang strongly believes that lunch can be a moment to build stronger relationships with your kids; calling on moms to transform lunches into bonding moments by having an Usapang TANGhalian. It is about the power of conversations to know your kids, understand their perspective, and check up on their emotional well-being. With its new campaign, Usapang TANGhalian, Tang leads the way in reminding moms to be fully present during tanghalians, taking this time to nurture their kids through healthy beverages and meaningful conversations. 

Together with Camille Prats, Tang showcases how every tanghalian can be transformed into bonding moments through Usapang TANGhalians. Camille shares with us real Usapang TANGhalians with her son Nathan, most of which lead to surprising revelations that help her understand her son even better. Camille shares, “Nathan is always busy with online school and I was curious if he needed help with anything. Whenever I would ask, he replies, “Nothing Mom, kaya ko ‘to.”. One lunchtime, I decided to ask: Is there anything mom can do better? And he told me that he appreciated every time I would check up on him because it made him feel that I was always there for him. This made me tear up and surprised me at how much Nathan appreciates the little things I do”. As a hands-on mom, Camille believes, like Tang, that all parents should use their time together with their kids as an opportunity to build stronger relationships, nurture their them, and prepare them for an even better future.  

Tang’s Usapang TANGhalian takes a step further by partnering with Facebook Mom Communities such as Mommy Mundo, Lifestyle Moms PH, Usapang Nanay, Moms Support Moms PH, Moms Club PH, 1ST Time Moms, and many more to kickstart the transformation of every tanghalian into an Usapang TANGhalian. Within each community, hundreds of KOLs will be sharing their experiences and tips to start an Usapang TANGhalian. Tang will also be launching a Facebook and Instagram filter with randomized questions for parents and kids; with the hopes of making Usapang TANGhalian fun and helping moms capture these bonding moments. 

In addition to advocating for stronger parent and kid relationships, Tang is also encouraging moms to serve healthier beverages over lunch. With the 100% Vitamin C of two oranges in every refreshing glass, Tang provides the protection your kid needs. So, Tang calls out to all moms to transform tanghalians from being a rushed and neglected meal to being a time to prepare their kids for a better future through Usapang TANGhalians and the 100% Vitamin C of Tang. 

Kaya mga mommies and daddies, ‘wag palampasin ang Tanghalian na walang Tang at #UsapangTANGhalian! Try the #UsapangTANGhalian filter on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3w3XBHE or Facebook:https://bit.ly/3wjRgYK with your kids and you might just be surprised by their answers!

 Empowering every Filipina through walang dudang alaga

Binibining Pilipinas and Silka team up for this year’s pageant

The Filipina has captivated the world. For many years, she has captured the hearts and imagination of the globe, not only because of her innate beauty, but also because of her undeniable intelligence, unparalleled grace, and committed drive to positively impact society.

Binibining Pilipinas has been proudly bannering these traits on the international stage, proving again and again the uniqueness of the Filipina. Now, on its 57^th year, the most prestigious pageant in the country finds a new ally in Silka, which for two decades has been giving Filipinas walang dudang alaga. These two forces have come together to propel Filipino women to greater heights!

The partnership between Binibining Pilipinas and Silka comes as the latter celebrates a special milestone—its 20th anniversary. As Silka has built a legacy of empowering women through self-care / alaga sa sarili, teaming up with Binibining Pilipinas is significant in reinforcing commitment to women while positively impacting society at large.

“Binibining Pilipinas has built itself to be the most prestigious pageant in the country. But more than that, it has been an organization that proudly advocates for the Filipina to the world,” according to Jane Co, VP for Marketing of Cosmetique Asia Corporation. “We, at Silka, are very proud to work with them in this year’s pageant as we aim to once again crown Filipina women that will represent the best of our country internationally.”
