Gen Zs have a new
and interactive way of hanging out with the squad through Globe Virtual
Hangouts. Enjoy online activities that cater best to your interests with its
four different kinds of hangouts, including GoCAMPUS, that will curate youth
and school-oriented events.
As the youth
navigate the changing times, GoCAMPUS will help them be ready and equipped for
whatever the future may bring, especially in terms of education and career,
through the upcoming Future Forward: A Virtual Youth Summit. This caravan of learning
forums aims to empower Gen Zs by inviting young industry leaders to impart
knowledge and motivation, and by providing them with a platform where they can
share their thoughts about the things that matter to them.
Virtual Hangouts
gave a sneak peek on what people can expect from Future Forward Summit through
an online launch event last November 5 that also featured an interactive school
fair platform complete with mini games and booths. Here, the Future Forward
Preppers, or the first-class speakers for the summit, were revealed as well as
the corresponding youth-oriented topics that they will discuss in their talks
and masterclasses.
Globe Studios Head
Quark Henares got the ball rolling last November 27 where he talked about the Future of Filmmaking and was followed by
Crystal Gonzalez, CEO and Co-Founder of PICK.A.ROO, last December 5, where she
shared her insights on the Post College: Employee or Entrepreneur
debate. Artist-designer Leeroy New also talked about Nurture Nature last December 10, and finally, JC Gallegos, Head and
Co-Founder of Shoor, talked about The
Future of Experience Economy last December 12.

these talks as Globe Prepaid rolls out new runs of the GoCAMPUS Youth
Summit, whether you are passionate about
filmmaking, building your own start-up company, or using your talents for
advocacy! There are also fun and educational experiences that will always await

12.

4 kitchen safety tips when using LPG
![]() |
Always place your LPG cylinder in a
well-ventilated area |
4 kitchen safety tips when using LPG
As
everyone continues to stay at home, people have been spending a lot of their
time in the kitchen lately – from preparing daily meals and trying out new
recipes, to cooking with the kids and of course, enjoying homecooked meals with
the entire family. With this, kitchen safety is more important than ever, and
it starts with securing all the tools and equipment, including making sure your
LPG cylinders are safe and professionally installed.
Solane, a leading LPG provider in the country, offers these safety tips on the
use of LPG to make cooking at home a safe and enjoyable experience.
Place the LPG cylinder in a well-ventilated area. When choosing a spot
for your LPG cylinder, make sure that there is an opening, such as a window or
a door, to ensure adequate ventilation. Make sure that LPG cylinders are also
far away from other heat sources, electric outlets, and hazard-prone areas in
the house to avoid ignition. Lastly, make sure that your LPG cylinder is in a
secure and upright position.
Inspect the LPG cylinder. Upon delivery, carefully inspect your LPG tank
to make sure that it is in good physical condition. First, check the cylinder
for dents, cracks, corrosions, or other damages. Then, make sure that the
safety cap and security seal are in place. If there seems to be a problem with
any of the components, turn off the gas supply and have it replaced or repaired
immediately. To make it easier, Solane offers customers a free 7-Point Safety
Check. Through this extra precautionary step, Solane's well-trained riders help
ensure that the tanks are safe and secure.
Use correct equipment and accessories. With LPG cylinders, ensure that
you are using the correct hose by checking for the mark, "LPG Hose."
Branded regulators, such as RECA and TPA, are recommended because these
are manufactured according to specific standards. When attaching the regulator,
ensure that it is securely connected to the cylinder valve. The regulator knob
should also be open to allow the outflow of gas from the holes. It’s also
important to regularly check the condition of these two and replace them as
needed. The hose should be replaced every 2 years while the regulator should be
replaced every 5 years upon the date of manufacture.
Practice caution. Whether you are installing, using, or disconnecting
your LPG cylinders, caution is a must. To avoid mishaps and injuries, you
should also never attempt to fix, refill, or replace your cylinders without the
help of authorized personnel. Don’t forget to turn off the cylinder valve or
regulator and gas appliance when not in use. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions regarding the use and maintenance of your gas appliance. In case
of an emergency, try to eliminate all sources of sources of ignition and turn
off the gas supply of the cylinder. If the leak is on the cylinder, cover the
leaking portion with a wet rag.
Make sure your LPG is authentic. To help ensure the safety of your
family, buy your LPG cylinders from authorized dealers only. In addition, when
buying gas tanks, be sure to check for quality markings on the cylinders, such
as the registered brand name and trademark of the manufacturer, standard used
and test dates, the serial or code number, expiry date, tare weight and LPG
content, and the “Made in the Philippines” mark.
For more information, visit https://www.solane.com.ph or follow @solane.ph on
Facebook. To order Solane LPG, call 8887-5555 (Metro Manila) or text (0918)

Music Icons’ Stories on
the True Meaning of Sharing this Season
Filipinos
celebrate the longest Christmas season in the world. It comes with the age-old
traditions, big family reunions, Kris Kringles with friends, extended shopping
time for gifts, neighbourhood carols, and the nine nights of Simbang Gabi.
The present
situation, with the pandemic and the natural calamities that have upended many
lives, may have brought a feeling of uncertainty for many families. But there’s
no stopping Christmas for the fun-loving and family-centered Filipinos. The indomitable
spirit of the Filipino endures, and it is strongly affixed to traditional
values of bayanihan and malasakit.
PLDT Home recently
released its Christmas ad titled “Mine”, which highlights the joy of giving. It
goes beyond than the mantra of ‘treating yourself’, to show that there is more
satisfaction derived from treating others and sharing the spirit of the season,
even more. The strong connection of PLDT Home enables Filipinos to extend help
and give more hope to others through the different online platforms that are
available.
Filipino music icons also expressed
how the internet enables them to share their gifts and blessings this season of
giving. National Artist for Music Maestro Ryan Cayabyab says that “The true
meaning and joy of Christmas is sharing.” He adds, “For me, the joy of music
and songs is what I can share this Christmas season.”
Powered by PLDT Home, sharing gifts
and spending meaningful time with loved ones have become more convenient for
families despite the social distance. Mr. Cayabyab notes, “With PLDT Home, we
can all rediscover the joy of sharing this Christmas.”
Mr.
Ryan Cayabyab: https://www.instagram.com/p/CIm0hm8HcDC/
For Asia’s songbird Regine
Velasquez-Alcasid, what’s important is the happiness of her loved ones at home.
She shares, “Nakakamiss din ang mamili ng pangregalo at panghanda para sa
pasko. Bagamat iniisip ko din maging praktikal muna at magtipid bilang hindi
natin alam hanggang kalian pa ito. Pero kasi tayong mga Pinoy kahit mahirap ang
buhay, we are still able to celebrate Christmas. Bilang nanay gusto ko lang
naman ay maging happy ang anak ko. Dahil ang pasko ay para naman talaga sa
kanya.”
Ms.
Regine Velasquez-Alcasid: https://www.instagram.com/p/CI7cYuYAwdI/
An artist and a father to three
children, Franco Laurel says, “We are grateful this year that we are all
together and safe at home.” He adds that for the family’s safety, their
reunions and get-together with loved ones are now done virtually. He shares,
“The great thing about doing all the Christmas parties virtual at home is the
super high speed and reliable PLDT Home Fibr connection. Now it covers our
whole house with fast internet connection.”

Franco Laurel: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CJGOKe2FzoG/?igshid=1o09npwe74m74
The true meaning of the season and its source of joy comes from
caring for others and keeping the family together at home. This Christmas, it
is time to rediscover the gift of sharing and re-establish the strong
connections, not only to our family, but equally so, to the community.

P&G continues to be a force for good for communities this Christmas
P&G continues to be a force for good for communities this
Christmas
MANILA
PHILIPPINES – Procter
& Gamble Philippines (P&G) is bringing comforts of home to communities
by donating hygiene kits and products to thousands of families affected by
Typhoons Rolly and Ulysses. The leading health and hygiene products
manufacturer partnered with the Philippine Red Cross, World Vision Philippines,
and the local governments of Marikina, Cabuyao and Taguig to bring relief to
communities for Christmas.
“P&G has always believed in becoming a
force for good and growth for the country, and this is especially true during
the holiday season and after what the Philippines and the world have been
through. For P&G, our hygiene brands are our main contribution to sharing
comforts and experience of home to Filipino families this Christmas,” says Raffy Fajardo, President and General
Manager of P&G Philippines.
P&G and its partners donated products to
communities in Albay, Catanduanes, Cagayan, Isabela, and the cities of
Marikina, Cabuyao, and Taguig. Philippine Red Cross will distribute 4,000
hygiene packs for families in Cagayan and Isabela, while World Vision hygiene
gift packs will reach over 3,000 families in Albay and Catanduanes.
On top of providing relief for affected
communities, P&G continues to extend this care for its employees, the
company’s number one priority, amid the difficult times. The company launched
the Alagang P&G program, which aims to care for its workforce. On top
of ensuring their health and safety with various benefits, P&G’s Vibrant
Living wellness program was redesigned to champion the new work-from-home
lifestyle in the better normal. The program introduced online classes and
programs on fitness, mental health, and even spiritual recollections.
For frontliners, P&G repurposed its manufacturing operations in Cabuyao, Laguna to fulfill its pledge with the DOH and
partner health institutions to produce one million medical-grade face masks, which
has now been doubled to benefit more medical frontliners who continue to need
PPEs. The Safeguarding the Front-liners program gave hygiene kits to over 15,000
frontliners and 5,000 PPE suits to COVID-19 hospitals in Metro Manila and
Laguna at the beginning of ECQ in March.
P&G also collaborated with the Department
of Health (DOH) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to
launch a nationwide education campaign for better health habits called BIDA Solusyon
sa COVID-19 which has also won P&G three special awards from PANAta Awards by the Philippine Association of National
Advertisers (PANA).
“Even before the pandemic, P&G has always been
guided by our core principles of caring for our employees as our number one
priority, serving our consumers with our trusted and essential health and
hygiene brands and stepping up for communities in need. This is something we
have strongly committed to and we will continue to do in the coming new year as
a force for good and a force for growth for the country,” says Raffy.
