Reinvent and Go This 2021 with Globe Virtual Hangouts

 

Globe Virtual Hangouts is back for another year of digital experiences and events and this time, things will be even bigger and more exciting! In 2020, Virtual Hangouts brought everyone #OLTogetherNow through online music festivals and concerts, a youth summit, Kfan meets, and an eSports tournament among others.

 

So, what can everyone expect from Virtual Hangouts this 2021?

 

In a virtual 360-degree view launch event enjoyed by guests through their VR goggles last February 18, Globe gave a sneak peek on the reinventions that they'll bring to GoJAM, GoCAMPUS, GoKOREAN, and GoESPORTS this year. Hosted by Martin Javier, the event also featured exciting games and freebies for media attendees as well as a moving performance from one of the country’s rising talents, Alex Bruce.

 

GoJAM

Continuing the success of last year’s GoJAM LIVE, Virtual Hangouts has partnered with Karpos Live to bring a concert series featuring local and international acts such as Paradise Rising’s Jason Dhakal, Claudia Baretto, Leanne and Naara, and more. Paradise Rising is a music collective born out of the partnership between Globe and 88rising that aims to bring Asian artists to the forefront through music.

 

GoJAM also brought the Wanderland Music Festival 2020 and the Double Happiness: Winter Wonder Festival virtually to music lovers last year, so you should keep an eye out for more events like these in the future.

 

Reinvented musical experiences are also underway for you and your barkada as GoJAM brings new immersive experiences including virtual 360 concerts and choose your own adventure-style interviews.

 

GoCAMPUS

More youth and school-oriented events await Gen Zs with a leveled-up GoCAMPUS as it brings another virtual youth summit, Future Reinvented, to more schools across the country. Students will also be challenged as they put theory into practice through a 5G Hackathon where teams make real-life applications of 5G technology.

 

With these events, GoCAMPUS is looking forward to reinventing school and learning experiences for students and empowering them to eventually bring to life real-world applications of 5G technology in society, industries, and smart cities.

 

GoKOREAN

2021 is turning out to be one exciting year for Kfans in the country starting off with the partnership between Globe and Kpop sensation BLACKPINK and the recently concluded THE SHOW virtual concert. The reinvention of K-experiences is just beginning as Virtual Hangouts presents the upcoming Kmmunity Fest, where fans get to meet other K-pop fans and celebrate anything and everything Korean! This can be enjoyed on new platforms such as SHOOR, Upstream, as well as Vlive and VLive+.

 

With GoKOREAN, KFans can also participate in more interactive activities, like the design-your-own cup sleeves event as a way of celebrating the birthdays of BLACKPINK members, to fully immerse in the Korean culture that they love and show their support to their idols.To be updated on these events, join Globe Kmmunity PH, an exclusive Facebook group where fans can mingle and share their love about all things K-Culture.

 

GoESPORTS

By staging the VH UltiCup last year and opening it to both professional and amateur gamers, Virtual Hangouts made competitive eSports accessible to more people and gave homegrown talents the opportunity to represent the country at the SuperGamerFest 2020.

 

This is part of Globe’s ongoing efforts to improve the Philippine eSports scene by developing and discovering new eSports athletes through programs designed to train newbies into pros.

 

With its recent partnership with Riot Games Southeast Asia, Globe is opening new possibilities to local gamers and enthusiasts by giving them access to the latest games out there like League of Legends: Wildrift and most especially, to more major eSports tournaments that you might see very soon on GoESPORTS.

 

“Virtual Hangouts truly presented us with an opportunity last year, an opportunity best suited for our digital-first generation. Through this year’s initial line-up of events and experiences, we will continue to reinvent to keep them inspired and action-fueled towards their goals and purpose and enable them to continue to experience every day the best way possible,” said Kaisie Del Carmen-San Pablo, Brand Head of Globe Prepaid. “This is just the start. Globe Prepaid is very excited to open up the new set of reinvented, close to real life Virtual Hangouts line-up for you.”

 

You can be part of these upcoming events on Virtual Hangouts simply through the GlobeOne app. On the app, just click on the Virtual Hangouts tab to view the events and join. You can also tap the heart icon to save the event or share it to your friend.

Meet unMEAT, the 100% plant-based meat

Here’s the newest meat alternative that looks, tastes and is priced like real meat.

It’s a generally accepted notion that eating healthy means skipping great-tasting food.  

Not anymore. Now it’s completely possible to enjoy the best of both worlds as Century Pacific Food Inc. (CNPF), one of the largest branded food companies in the Philippines, unveils its newest brand: unMEAT, a 100% plant-based meat, made tasty from simple ingredients. 

“One of the biggest concerns about plant-based foods is that they are not delicious or as pleasing to the palate as real meat,” notes Nikki Dizon, a Senior Executive at CNPF. “But our Nutrition Science team took that as a challenge, and completely delivered by coming up with a meat alternative that unbelievably and undeniably looks, feels, and tastes like meat. Moreover, they made unMEAT using simple ingredients and extracted the nutrients from real food rather than synthetic compounds so it’s healthier and more affordable”

unMEAT Giniling

The launch of unMEAT was driven by a growing consumer demand to incorporate healthier food options into their diet, especially given the ongoing pandemic. This is evident in the shift of food trends on social media. Whereas in the past, food aficionados across the globe constantly debated on the best burgers, social media is now filled with discussions on which plant-based burger looks, tastes, smells, and even bleeds like real meat.  

unMEAT Burger Patties

With unMEAT, taste is never compromised! It is as delicious as a regular meat patty, with a similar mouth-feel, making it the best meat alternative for those who are planning to make the switch to a healthier, more sustainable diet. Even better, unMEAT is packed with simple but nutritious ingredients. It is a good source of fiber and protein. It’s also cholesterol-free, trans fat-free, egg-free, and dairy-free. 

During the launch, Michelin star chef Sau del Rosario who was among the first to sample unMEAT, described it as “the taste is like you got it from the oven. It’s tasty, it’s clean, and it’s very delicious. I would put this in my menu!”

unMEAT Hungarian Sausages

It comes in four variants:  Nuggets, Hungarian Sausages, Minced Meat and Burger Patty. CNPF aims to market the range as close to the price of real meat counterparts in keeping with its goal of providing affordable nutrition. 

In the Philippines, unMEAT was first introduced through Shakey’s Pizza’s newest offering, the Goood Burger. It has since attracted a small cult following in the few weeks it has top-billed Shakey’s Pizza chain’s foray to burgers.  

Now, as the plant-based food mania continues to sweep the world over, Century Pacific Food Inc., is giving consumers easy access to healthy and tasty 100% plant-based food options as unMEAT is now available via online shopping platforms, and increasingly in  supermarkets and specialty stores nationwide. 

unMEAT Nuggets

Following unMEAT’s successful initial rollout as Shakey’s Goood Burger, CNFP will also be partnering with more restaurants in the country. Additionally, the company’s Global Brands Team has started offering the product to customers across a network of 80 countries such as the USA, Singapore, China and the Middle East giving consumers in many parts of the world easy access to tasty, healthy, and affordable 100% plant-based meat alternative. 

“This newest addition to our product portfolio further strengthens our company’s mission to provide affordable nutrition for all. UnMEAT is both very affordable and delicious!” added Dizon.

Now it’s possible to be healthy while enjoying what you eat with the 100% plant-based unMEAT.

Globe launches 5G Roaming in Thailand

Over the past few months, the adoption of 5G technology in the country has been unprecedented despite the challenges brought by the pandemic. Driven by the demand of the public for better connectivity, Globe Telecom continues to expand its 5G network in Metro Manila and key areas nationwide.

Globe also made another milestone with its debut of the 5G roaming service in Thailand in collaboration with roaming ally and Thailand’s largest telco, AIS. Roamers are assured of uninterrupted connectivity and fastest speeds wherever they are in Thailand as 5G coverage in the country extends to all its 77 provinces.

With this feat, Globe has laid down the foundations for an ultra fast and worry-free roaming experience with 5G where it matters.

“Although traveling may be challenging at the moment, we recognize that some Filipinos will find it necessary to leave the safety of their homes to fulfill important obligations abroad. As such, they are assured of instant and seamless connectivity wherever they are with Globe’s 5G roaming service,” said KD Dizon, Globe’s Head for Consumer Mobile Business.

“Globe subscribers traveling overseas, as well as foreign visitors coming to the Philippines can expect our continuous efforts to bring 5G to more locations in the country and in other parts of the world as the year unfolds, giving way for more users to experience the benefits of next-generation connectivity,” Dizon added.

Once travel resumes, Globe roamers with 5G-powered smartphones can elevate their travel experiences with 5G’s lightning-fast speeds and uninterrupted connection within 5G-ready areas. Through HD quality video calls and seamless live streaming of their adventures on social media, customers will also be able to stay connected while traveling abroad. All these can be experienced with Globe’s Roam Surf 399 (all-day for Postpaid, 1GB for Prepaid) and other Roam Surf promos with no additional charge. 

5G’s unbeatable speeds and almost real-time latency opens a world of countless possibilities that travelers can look forward to as more and more international destinations transform themselves into 5G-powered smart cities, delivering new experiences on retail, entertainment, and healthcare. 

Currently, Globe is working towards rolling out its 5G roaming services in more key markets in Asia, Middle East, North America, and Europe with the help of its roaming partners. For more information on 5G Roaming, go to glbe.co/5GRoaming.

 ‘BLACKPINK: THE SHOW’ reinvents the concert experience for BLINKs worldwide

While live concerts were put to a stop by the pandemic, that didn’t hinder international K-Pop group BLACKPINK from entertaining BLINKs worldwide! The music powerhouse recently launched its first-ever livestream concert entitled THE SHOW, sponsored by Globe. BLINKs were able to get a reinvented concert experience featuring Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rose at their best!

The livestream concert is part of Globe and BLACKPINK’s partnership under the telco’s newest campaign, Reinvent Your World, which empowers its customers to transform themselves in the digital world and open up to new and exciting possibilities, like THE SHOW for example, with Globe as their partner.

Kicking off the show with their 2019 hit Kill This Love, BLACKPINK gave a glimpse of what their world tour could have been if the pandemic was out of the picture. Complete with 10 different sets, spectacular and never-before-seen choreography, flashy costumes, and a full-on live ensemble, every BLINK watching at home surely felt like they were in the same venue as their idols.

BLACKPINK performed their hit songs Whistle, Boombayah, Don’t Know What to Do, As If It’s Your Last, and an electrifying and fiercer rendition of Ddu-Du Ddu-Du as they danced in shallow waters with fire in the background. Of course, THE SHOW was also an opportunity for BLACKPINK to perform some of the tracks on THE ALBUM live including How You Like That, Lovesick Girls, Love to Hate Me, and You Never Know.

Each member gifted BLINKs with a solo performance in between sets. Jisoo sang a stripped-back version of Tove Lo’s “Habits (Stay High)” wearing an immaculate floral gown; 

Lisa showed her rapping and dancing prowess with her own spin on Doja Cat’s “Say So;” Jennie served looks and talent as she performed a revamped version of her song, “Solo;” and Rose rivetingly unveiled her highly anticipated debut solo track “Gone”.

 

In one of the more tender moments of the show, a throwback clip was shown, presenting  BLACKPINK in an empty arena as they looked back at their first concert. “The concert was one of our big dreams. I was highly excited and I had high expectations. I think it was a very precious moment,” said Rose. “It was a tour that clearly showed us the relationship between BLACKPINK and BLINKs.”

The girls also addressed their fans in the video, expressing how much they miss performing in front of them and feeling their love through cheers and waves of lightsticks. “It’s been a while since we’ve met, so I hope we can all have fun [during THE SHOW],” added Lisa.

For their last song, BLACKPINK sang Forever Young as they were surrounded with messages sent by BLINKs from all parts of the world to close THE SHOW on a high, hopeful note. Fans took it to social media to express how they enjoyed the livestream concert with some even holding watch parties with their fellow BLINKs featuring BLACKPINK-themed snacks and decorations. Other BLINKs also wore their merch and took out their lightsticks to really get the feel of the concert experience.

Those with membership access to BLACKPINK’s YouTube channel who want to rewatch the concert will be able to do so over the next Sunday, February 14, at 2 AM, 10 AM, 3 PM and 8PM  (Philippine Time).

"Globe continues to provide its customers with a unique and reinvented experience through world-class partnerships -- such as the one with BLACKPINK -- together with a dependable and continuously-improving network, and access to the latest technology like 5G, LTE-Advanced Home Prepaid WiFi and Unli Fiber Plans. Indeed, Globe helps its subscribers reinvent their world amidst these challenging times," said Issa Guevarra-Cabreira, Globe's Chief Commercial Officer.

5 Ways to Maintain Clean Air at Home

Your home plays a major part in maintaining your health and well-being. It’s where you find comfort and solace after a stressful run at work. While you wish to lie comfortably at home, it's important that you also take good care of your space whether big or small. 

A clean house can be difficult to manage when you don’t have someone to help you tidy up the place. As a result, we tend to put everything altogether and realize the growing pile of mess that makes it more difficult to accomplish.

This may lead to health complications like mild colds and even asthma that can put you and your family at risk. That is why cultivating dirty air especially at home is a health hazard that we should all combat. 

Here are tips to achieve a clean and breathable environment in the comforts of your home. 

1. Get an Air Purifier

Back then, drawing open the curtain is enough to let air enter our homes without worrying about pollution. Today, we need to purify the air so we avoid breathing in dirt and chemicals coming from outside.Getting an air purifier is one way to have a tolerable and relatively clean atmosphere. It has filters that clog toxins and chemicals and emit cleaner air in no time. It’s also cheaper to get an air purifier than using advanced technology that basically does the same thing. 

2. Vacuum Carpets/ Upholstery

Another cause of dirty air is having dust-polluted carpets, bedding and upholstered furniture that can accumulate more dust if not properly cleaned or laundered. Using vacuum cleaners is an effective way to get rid of these trapped particles that come from pets roaming around you home. 

3. Get plants

Plants are still the best source of oxygen, especially if you live in the city. Having plants in your garden and indoors could bring your cleaner air and good energy while you’re at home.

4. Spray Hydrogen Peroxide

Mold releases “spores” into the air that can trigger one’s allergy. Spraying hydrogen can help remove unwanted mold stains and residue. This is a non-toxic means to kill molds that have been living for some time in the gaps and corners of your bathroom. You can also mix this with vinegar and have them stored for future use.

5. Air Duct Cleaning
