GS1 Philippines, the leading organization on local barcode standards, officially launched GS1 Activate, a web-based service aimed at simplifying barcode generation and symbol creation for businesses.
<br />
<br />
Launched during GS1 Philippines’ Annual Conference and General Membership Meeting on January 30, 2024, GS1 Activate is set on revolutionizing the retail supply chain through digitalization. By streamlining the making product data and identification digitized, the efficiency and visibility of supply and demand chains globally and across sectors are further enhanced.
<br />
<br />
GS1 Activate enables businesses to achieve accurate product identification with global trade item numbers (GTINs) and seamless data sharing, enhancing customer service and operational efficiency. And with GS1 Activate, businesses can easily obtain barcode numbers for their products, allowing for their global distribution. Additionally, the service provides expert guidance on printing and placing barcode symbols to ensure optimal scanning performance. By leveraging GS1 Activate to share product data, companies can expand their reach to retailers and marketplaces worldwide, enhancing the visibility and accessibility of their products on a global scale.
<br />
<br />
GS1 Philippines targets to introduce GS1 Activate to over 30,000 retailers nationwide by the end of 2024. They are currently serving over 5,000 retailers.
“In an economy where the Philippines’ e-commerce market is estimated to reach $24 billion (approx. Php 1.3 trillion) through 2025, GS1 Activate is a game-changer. This new service revolutionizes business barcode generation, reducing the time required compared to traditional product identification methods and eliminating common errors, saving costs on label reprinting and minimizing the need for extensive personnel training. By dramatically simplifying the process, GS1 Activate also enhances efficient data sharing, crucial for strengthening both local and global trade. This launch is a testament to our dedication to advancing digital integration within the Philippines' supply chain ecosystem, reinforcing our role in the global economy,” GS1 Philippines, and Philippine Retailers Association President Bobby Claudio said.
<br />
<br />
Aligning with the annual gathering’s theme, “Unified Unlocked: Activating Integrated Digitalization,” GS1 Philippines’ conference marked the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the barcode system and highlighted GS1’s focus on shifting to the 2D migration of barcodes to QR codes while calling for global retail Point of Sale (POS) scanners to be capable of processing 2D barcodes by 2027.
<br />
<br />
In his remark, GS1 Philippines Chairman Atty. Pablo Gancayo shared, "We are now focused on evolving the barcode into the next level we call the 2D migration, which is expected to revolutionize further commerce. GS1 will guide the industry towards 2D migration, which it hopes to achieve and implement comprehensively by the year 2027."
<br />
<br />
The annual gathering hosted insightful discussions, networking, and collaboration opportunities among key government figures, industry players, and GS1 members. Among those present was Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Undersecretary Mary Jean T. Pacheco, who emphasized GS1 standards' pivotal role in enhancing supply chain efficiency and visibility for Philippine industries competing globally. During her talk, she discussed the government agency’s three-year food logistics action agenda aimed to revolutionize the food distribution system by addressing critical supply chain gaps and integrating ICT to enhance logistics performance. Undersecretary Pacheco expressed eagerness for collaborations with GS1 Philippines to achieve these goals.
<br />
<br />
Other government leaders and industry experts also shared their perspectives on the impact of global standards in the digital age, including Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Secretary Ivan John Enrile Uy; De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde School of Environment and Design faculty member and packaging designer and consultant Prof. Ana Maria Veronica Solano; and CLASSchool Founder and Nutraways Manufacturing Corporation General Manager Love Emmanuel Agudo.

#TeamGalaxy and Queen of the universe, Catriona Gray is geeking out over the new AI features of the Galaxy S24 Series. At the launch of Samsung’s latest Galaxy S series, Catriona Gray being the ultimate multi-hyphenate queen, explained how she has found a new productivity and creativity companion - the ultimate all-rounder just like her - the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
<br />
<br />
Intuitive AI features geared towards productivity and creativity<br />
<br />
With an on-the-go lifestyle where she consistently creates content, works on new projects and attends numerous meetings, Catriona loves to capture snippets of her day through the notes app.
<br />
<br />
“With Notes Assist, I can create custom notebooks with personalized covers and AI analyzes and summarizes the content of the notes. It’s so convenient for a quick revert and it shows me the summary and main points of the whole notebook,” Catriona shares.
<br />
<br />
Catriona also highlighted her favorite AI features that are perfect for her being productive and creative on-the-go - the circle to search with Google feature, which allows users to select parts of an image or a text and look up information. Users can even select icons from images to copy and paste into the notes app, messages and even use to create stickers.

<br />
The Galaxy S24 Series also enhances how devices can connect people from all around the world, making truly borderless communication possible. AI features remove communication hurdles with near-real-time voice and language translations, live language translations through call assist, and seamless live translation chat assistance.
<br />

“Just thinking of possibilities with travel, I think we've all experienced challenges while traveling and having language barriers at times when wanting to clarify something on an itinerary, or directions,” Catriona shared.
<br />
<br />
“Now with live chat updates, it allows us to connect, even with phone calls. It allows you to follow along with what the other person is saying. It’s innovative, connecting so many different people from around the world. When you think about a device, a phone, and its initial purpose, it innovated to a level that's breaking boundaries. In a way, that is a very cool thing.”
<br />
<br />
Every content creator’s dream come true<br />
<br />
The Samsung Galaxy S24 series also sets a new standard for image and video capturing, with upgraded lenses and the integration of the new ProVisual engine. This engine improves color tone, reduces noise and brings out details in every photo, along with making sharing on Instagram and Snapchat seamless. AI also enhanced editing features like AI Zoom, and AI powered object resizing, moving and erasing. Editing applications are also built in-device so content creators no longer need third party applications to work on-the-go.
<br />
<br />
Catriona shares her experience with video editing on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. “Video editing on this is an absolute dream because the processing power of the S24 is really nice as well, it's very well rounded.”
<br />
<br />
For content creators who are passionate about sharing content real time, the integration of the apps gets rid of the challenges of having blurry and low quality images when transferring photos and videos from the phone camera to the application.

Herbalife Philippines started the year with an educational talk by Dr. Luigi Gratton, Vice President of Training at Herbalife. In the media gathering last January 13, 2023, Dr. Gratton session highlighted Herbalife's Global Nutrition Philosophy in championing a holistic approach to well-being through balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and placed emphasis on community support to sustain one's wellness goals.
<br />
<br />
Dr. Gratton shared the latest findings in nutrition science and ways the power of community can be leveraged to meet health and wellness goals for the new year.
<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Touching on the significance of protein-rich, low-calorie diets as pivotal tools for ensuring overall health, Dr. Gratton said, “The main thing we have seen in the latest literature is that restricting calories leads to losing weight along with a tremendous amount of muscle. However, increasing your protein intake will prevent muscle loss. Maintaining that muscle allows you to be healthier as you age.”</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
Dr. Gratton also highlighted the results of Herbalife’s Asia Pacific Power of Community Survey 2023, which underscored the central role of community support in helping individuals achieve sustainable health goals.
<br />
<br />
The survey revealed that 83% of APAC consumers are actively pursuing health and wellness goals, with 51% of these consumers finding support groups very important in their health journey, providing motivation and access to a network of broader health perspectives and resources.<br />

<br />
<br />
Now, Abbott is partnering with celebrity moms Chesca Kramer, Nadine Samonte, influencers and online mom communities to raise awareness on stunting, offer educational resources ad online tools, nutrition assessment and counselling to promote childhood growth potential.
<br />
<br />
"There is a clear need to educate parents on the prevalence and impact of childhood stunting on growth and development," accordingnto Dr. Jose Dimaano Jr., Nutrition Medical Affairs Director for Abbott in Pacific Asia. "Early identification of growth issues and quick intervention for children found to be at risk of nutrition deficiency can have a profound impact on the fight against stunting. This is why Abbott is taking a multidisciplinary approach in supporting parents by working with communities and healthcare practitioners to provide tools and information to spot the signs of malnutrition and take action."
<br />
<br />
Stunting can challenge a child’s development, impact their overall health and limit their future potential. Children affected by stunting can be at risk of significant immune deficiencies, compromised cognitive function, behavioral problems, diminished bone health, and decreased muscle mass.
<br />
<br />
"Since its inception in 2021, Growth Watch has educated and reached more than 161,000 families. And the goal is to doible the reach by end of next year," said Angelico Escobar, General Manager of Abbott's nutrition business in the Philippines. ''Abbott is driven by our mission to help children have a healthy start and reach their optimal growth. We know that malnutrition is complex and affects children’s growth across all socioeconomic classes. The work of Growth Watch is one of Abbott’s efforts to fight global malnutrition and to help children achieve their growth potential through measurement and proper nutrition.''<br />
<br />
In 2021, Abbott launched the Abbott Center for Malnutrition Solutions, an initiative to reduce malnutrition. The center, a collaboration between Abbott and external experts and partners, is focused on the identification, treatment and prevention of malnutrition for the most vulnerable populations in the world including children, aging adults and under-resourced populations. The Growth Watch initiative also contributes toward Abbott's 2030 Sustainability Plan goal to transform care for malnutrition, chronic and infectious diseases.
<br />
<br />
As part of the Growth Watch initiative, parents and guardians are invited to join mom communities to establish the habit of measuring their children’s height, and provide proper nutrition to safeguard the growth, well-being and development of children across the country. Tools and resources available include:
<br />
<br />
● PediaSure Plus Growth Calculator<br />
<br />
● PediaSure Plus Height Chart<br />
<br />
● Free growth assessment and nutrition counseling
<br />
<br />
Nutrition plays a crucial role in addressing malnutrition and stunting challenges. Addressing undernutrition early can help mitigate growth issues and ensure children reach their full developmental capacity. For children who do not get enough nutrients through food alone, nutrition supplements, such as PediaSure Plus, can help fill some of the gaps. The oral nutritional supplement, recommended by doctors, is formulated with 37 key growth nutrients including natural vitamin K2 and arginine to support 1.5 times faster growth in 8 weeks and strong bones.
<br />
<br /><br />
For free growth assessment and nutrition counseling, register online or by calling Abbott’s
Careline - Metro Manila: (02) 8995-1555 and PLDT toll free hotline: 1-800-10-995-1555.

Last October 29, 2023, CHILD Haus celebrated
its
21st anniversary at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall.<br />
<br />
An institution founded by ‘Mader’ Ricky Reyes,
CHILD Haus
serves as a beacon of hope for children stricken by cancer. Throughout its history, one consistent major supporter of the establishment has been the Sy family – in its early years, Henry ‘Tatang’ Sy, Sr., and over the last decade, SM Prime Holdings Inc. Chairman of the Executive Committee Hans Sy continuing the tradition established by his father.
<br />
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOocabfER3RcSAzMl025OLDMh9QImYOOrExq8hjtVe0tzjs4DzsIjt-wOwSPMjm5l1h0z4rh5o2RyWypbtqoL4xcAVWCcMPdmsGgiPakpkr5-Kg4H-Ak5eWXgQtDpzc9ReYMkZorQ5551pE8jv-n9rUVsAWxjw7-JMvCMpLfzOc9UNf5zPESA-k7y0hx1L/s4096/received_3196327163996631.jpeg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; clear: left; float: left;"><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="4096" data-original-width="2721" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOocabfER3RcSAzMl025OLDMh9QImYOOrExq8hjtVe0tzjs4DzsIjt-wOwSPMjm5l1h0z4rh5o2RyWypbtqoL4xcAVWCcMPdmsGgiPakpkr5-Kg4H-Ak5eWXgQtDpzc9ReYMkZorQ5551pE8jv-n9rUVsAWxjw7-JMvCMpLfzOc9UNf5zPESA-k7y0hx1L/s320/received_3196327163996631.jpeg"/></a></div>
Leading the event were Mr. Sy and ‘Mader’ Ricky, and several individuals and companies who, over the years, have contributed to the well-being of CHILD Haus were invited. Many children, who have been ‘adopted’ by CHILD Haus and now call it home, were also in attendance. The media was present as well, recognizing how establishments like CHILD Haus make a big difference and become the ‘answered prayers’ of so many children and their parents.
<br />
<br />Three CHILD Haus stories, featuring Aya, Laura, and Jessa, were turned into video vignettes that highlighted the message of hope and the life-saving work of the organization. While it is easy to describe such events as heartwarming and tear-jerking, it was truly remarkable to witness even the most seasoned press photographers being moved to tears by these videos. This is a clear testament to the profound impact that these testimonials had on the audience at the event.
<br />
<br />
After CHILD Haus founder ‘Mader’ Ricky's heartwarming welcome, SM Prime Holdings Inc. Chairman of the Executive Committee Hans Sy took the stage to present plaques of appreciation to the many friends of CHILD Haus whose generous donations have made the organization's life-saving work possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
Those cancer-stricken kids are ‘adopted’ and provided food and shelter. Until the children are declared cancer-free and/or have completed their treatments and medical procedures, one child and one parent are allowed to live at CHILD Haus. If it’s an infant, both parents can stay.
There are presently two CHILD Haus locations - one in Manila, near the Philippine General Hospital, and one in Quezon City.
<br />
<br />
A longtime supporter and regular visitor to CHILD Haus, Karylle, led the children in a rousing song composed by Karylle’s husband, Yael Yuzon. Then ‘Mader’ Ricky’s daughter sang a rendition of Florante’s ‘Handog’ that had been reworded to fit the sentiments of the children at CHILD Haus. These were two songs that the children had learnt and practiced as a “thank you” to the many guests who have helped make the ‘haus’ a reality.
<br />
<br />
In the end, both ‘Mader’ Ricky and Mr. Sy acknowledged the significance of this event, which commemorates 21 years of compassion, fortitude, and the spirit of giving and sharing.

Apple Premium Reseller Power Mac Center (PMC) celebrated its 29th year by staging a series of live audio-digital crossover experiences featuring OPM icons and emerging artists.
<br />
<br />
In this streaming age when music from all over the world has become readily available at one’s fingertips, PMC aims to put the Filipino brand of music front and center and give our local artists a unique platform to share it.
<br />
<br />
“Sync Sessions is an original concept from way back that allows artists and fans to experience music in unique and innovative ways, as our featured bands and solo artists use Apple devices as instruments. As we consume more and more digital content, we also want to showcase the beauty of the live human experience of coming together to enjoy music,” said Joey Alvarez, PMC Director for Marketing and Product Management.
<br />
<br />
To bring the audio-digital experience to more customers, it was staged in different locations in Metro Manila over five consecutive Saturdays, from August 26 to September 23.
<br />
<br />
It kicked off at Eastwood, featuring Bullet Dumas, alongside Sync Sessions veterans Ang Bandang Shirley, Sandwich, and Jess Connelly, who was with frequent collaborator LustBass. It was followed by Jakarta-raised Filipino hip hop artist Young Cocoa and—another Sync Sessions pro—Filipino indie folk band Munimuni on September 2 at SM Makati.<br />

<br />
The third leg saw R&B singer Jason Dhakal with yet another Sync Sessions headliner, Autotelic, playing it for the UP Town Center crowd on September 9. The following Saturday, Zild rocked what he called a “rare short electronic set” at Robinsons Magnolia, alongside Filipino alternative rock band SOS, and singer-songwriter, record producer, and YouTuber Lesha, who said she taught herself music production on an iPad mini and MacBook before.
<br />
<br />
Capping off the series is the powerhouse lineup composed of soulful pop duo Leanne & Naara, OPM icon Ebe Dancel, <i>“Muli”</i> crooner Ace Banzuelo, and indie pop rock band This Band performing before the jampacked crowd at Festival Mall in Alabang.
<br />
<br />
The events were hosted by social media personalities Vince Velasco, Samm Alvero, and Aryn Cristobal. Audience members were in for a surprise as lucky participants got to take home exclusive Sync Sessions merchandise, PMC gift certificates, and awesome prizes from PMC partners Amazing Thing, Belkin, JBL, PanzerGlass, Sony, and SoundCore by Anker.
<br />
<br />
<b><i>Music production for content creators</i></b>
<br />
<br />
Sync Sessions is an initiative that puts the power of the human talent at the center of technological advancement. Beyond the stage, it aims to empower Filipinos to maximize Apple technology through discovering new ways to make music that is unique.
<br />
<br />
<blockquote>“Many of the artists we invited have long been using Apple devices for their music. PMC hopes to inspire a new generation of musicians and content creators alike to keep discovering their voice and express it through their chosen medium or channel—be it music, film, or even vlog. We hope to provide the tools that make individuals stand out and reach their dreams,” Alvarez said</blockquote>.
<br />
<br />
At present, PMC is rolling out its 30th anniversary year-long celebration with the theme “30 Years of Transforming Experiences Through Lifestyle Innovations.” It is also gearing up for the much-anticipated iPhone 15 launch.
<br />
<br />
Power Mac Center was established in 1994 and has since built the country’s largest network of Apple authorized retail stores, repair and service centers, and education resellers, with over 100 locations nationwide. It is also currently the only reseller in the country with Apple Premium Partner (APP) status, the highest distinction of Apple resellers worldwide.

<p> </p><blockquote>"I desire to become an educator not just to fulfill a dream but also to be a blessing to the next generation," says
18-year-old SM scholar,
Princess Eunice Motel.
</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
Motel is currently pursuing her education at the Philippine Normal University. Motel is one of two children of Hildajane, an on-call factory re-packer, and Richard, a set man, hailing from Caloocan City.
<br />
<br />
Her dream of becoming a teacher has been a lifelong aspiration, deeply rooted in her heart and mind----a calling that became even more pronounced when she embraced her Christian faith.
<br />
<br /><blockquote>
"My unwavering commitment to becoming a teacher is directly inspired by the Kidz Life Ministry, a cherished initiative of our church dedicated to teaching children about God's word. I aspire to be a vessel for sharing knowledge, instilling hope, and nurturing a brighter future for the next generation," she said.
</blockquote><br />
<br />Princess has chosen to pursue her dreams by working on a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Education at the Philippine Normal University, her dream institution. "PNU is renowned for its ability to nurture exceptional teachers," she remarked. "As I aspire to become an educator, I also strive for greatness and excellence, and there's no better place to achieve that than at PNU."<div><br />

Following in her mother's footsteps, Jhona Bolinas is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Education with English as her major. Born in Baliuag, Bulacan, she passed entrance exams at other universities but opted to enroll at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Valenzuela given its proximity to her residence.<br />
<br />Jhona opted to study education specializing in English after considering other career paths, drawing inspiration from her mother, who is also an educator. "Watching, observing, and listening to her, I learned the basics," she shared. </div><div>
<br />
When asked if she plans to work abroad after graduation, Jhona keeps her options open, recognizing it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "But right now, I want to ensure that my mother enjoys a good life before making such a significant decision," she explained.
<br />
<br />
Another aspiring educator is Krissa May Oquindo. Her father, a cable technician, is the family's sole breadwinner while her mother dedicates her time to caring for the family. Krissa completed her senior high school education at the Universidad de Manila. She applied to four State universities and ultimately chose to enroll at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), known for producing graduates highly sought after by employers, as per a recent survey.
<br />
<br />
Regarding her motivation to become a teacher, Krissa shared, "Being an educator has always been my passion. From the moment I set foot on a school campus, the idea of standing in front of students and sharing knowledge excites me." She has selected Science as her major to deepen her understanding of the subject and to enlighten others about it.
<br />
<br />
Krissa has no plans to teach abroad. She believes that while there is demand for teachers overseas, the same holds true in the Philippines: "My passion for teaching is rooted in caring for the next generation, especially for the youth of our country."
<br />
<br />
Through the years, the SM college scholarship program has empowered 3,791 graduates who have enrolled in over 120 partner colleges and universities across the nation. These scholars enjoy full tuition benefits, monthly allowances, part-time work opportunities during semestral and Christmas breaks, job offers from the SM Group upon graduation, and engaging activities and enrichment programs.
<br />
<br />
Moreover, SM's tech-voc scholarship program had equally produced 4,669 graduates, further contributing to the development of skilled professionals in various fields.

<br />
<br />
True to its commitment in uplifting education in communities where it operates, SM Foundation has been an active member of DepEd’s Adopt-a-School Program since 2002.

<br />
<br />
SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime) recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Japan’s GUUN Co. Ltd. to explore a potential partnership to implement waste management solutions by recycling waste paper and plastics as an alternative source of energy called <i><b>‘fluff fuel’</b></i>.
<br />
<br />
Fluff Fuel technology Guun Co., Ltd. recycles raw plastic materials to produce Fluff Fuels, which provide eco-friendly, alternative fuel source. The name “Fluff fuel” comes from the word fluffy, and they are one of the highest grades RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) which are produced from shredded and compressed plastics, papers, and fibers. These are often used as fuel alternatives to coal or heavy oil in most paper mill
manufacturers and power companies
in Japan, as well as cement companies overseas.
<br />
<br />
SM Prime Chairman of the Executive Committee Hans T. Sy is positive that a partnership with GUUN will contribute to the waste reduction goals of the country.
<br />
<br />
<blockquote>“Today, Japan’s waste management and recycling technology is among the most advanced in the world,” he said. “There is no better partner for SM because we do not just talk about being big, we make sure we do it; we do not talk about being environment friendly but we do take bold steps to save the environment. I am looking forward to growing with GUUN as among leaders in solving environmental issues in the Philippines.”</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
In 2013, GUUN Co., Ltd., successfully established a pilot project that created a recycling enterprise in Inayawan, Cebu, Philippines sponsored by JICA. It was taken over by Cebu City two years later and is still in operation today. The processing capacity of the pilot plant is 5 TPD.
<br />
<br />
Founded in March 2001 and headquartered in Yokohama City, Japan, GUUN, Co. Ltd., is a waste disposal and recycling company that specializes in creating technologies for producing Fluff Fuel derived from waste plastics and wood chips from various kinds of waste wood.
It had recently inaugurated its ₱200-million, 2,400-square meter waste recycling plant in Tayud, Consolacion, Cebu.
<br />
<br />
Since then, Japan’s Ministry of the Environment has adopted GUUN’s waste-to-fuel technology as a model for advanced low-carbon technology innovation for further deployment in developing countries.“This will be a milestone partnership for us,” GUNN Chief Executive Officer Shinji Fujieda said after the signing ceremony. "I understand very much how important waste management is for SM and for the Philippines and we look forward to more projects we can do with the properties of SM Prime.”

SM Prime’s initiatives for waste management include waste reduction and effective waste collection and segregation. Over the years, it has implemented programs such as Trash to Cash, Plastic Waste Collection, and E-Waste Collection that have contributed to reducing the total solid waste generation across its real estate portfolio.
<br />
<br />
Through its pioneering Trash-to-cash recycling market, SM Prime has collected and recycled 1.4M kg of plastics, paper, metals, and others in 2022. “We have saved 16,766 trees from the 986,222 kg of paper recycled,” SM Prime disclosed in its 2022 Integrated Report to shareholders.
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, SM’s Plastic Waste Collection program, a partnership with the Plastic Credit Exchange that was launched in February 2021, has accumulated 42,541kg of plastic waste from 14 mall sites. Also present in all its 83 SM Supermalls is the E-Waste Collection program for the responsible disposal of WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment). This drive has helped process close to 7,000 kilograms of e-waste.<br />

<p> </p>Earlier today, Taiwan-born gaming company Mooneen officially launched its blockchain-based play-to-earn (P2E) game called “Rise of Elves” with a grand celebration at the Ayala Mall Circuit, Makati City, Philippines.
<br />
<br />
The launch underscores Rise of Elves’ goal to strengthen its presence in the Philippines, which ranked 4th out of 26 countries in the NFT Gaming Adoption Report by global fintech platform Finder in 2022.
<br />
<br />
“The Philippines is the first launch market that we have chosen. Besides having a substantial player base familiar with blockchain games, we also aim to make the in-game ecosystem more vibrant by welcoming Filipino players into our community,” Johnson Chan, Mooneen Blockchain Architecture Development& Strategy Research Specialist, said.<br />

<br />
<br />
Rise of Elves has significantly grown and expanded across different markets, including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore, and is currently being played by more than 66,000 players.
<br />
<br /><b><i>
Inside Rise of Elves
<br /></i></b>
<br />
Rise of Elves is a virtual world that runs on the Polygon blockchain, wherein players will be introduced to fascinating creatures known as “Elves.” These in-game items are represented by NFTs, which can be collected and traded on the game's marketplace for real money.
<br />
<br />
Players can compete in Player-Vs-Player (PVP) as “Arena” mode and Player-Vs-Environment (PVE) as “Adventure” mode. Players can also “Evolve” a new Elf on the official website, allowing them to build potentially more powerful teams and yield additional NFTs to sell on the marketplace.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />Each Elf is a unique NFT, which consists of seven parts: Body, Top, Ears, Eyes, Back, Chest, and Tail. Each part has different characteristics, which make Elves perform differently in battle.
<br />
<br />
There are also characters called “Heroes” that players can mix and match with their assembled teams of Elves.
<br />
<br />
Rise of Elves has partnered with all-time boxing legend Manny ‘PacMan' Pacquiao for an exclusive in-game hero design and 200 different styles of Manny Pacquiao NFTs. The game has also featured NFTs in partnership with gaming content creator Aningning, and prominent member of Team Payaman YOW.
<br />
<br />
There are three tokens related to the game that players can earn and trade for profits: Rise Of Elves (ROE) coin, Crystal Of Element (COE) coin, and Magic Book (MGB) coin.
<br />
<br />
ROE is the game's governance token that allows players to vote on new developments. ROE is given to players as a reward for competing in the Arena and placing on top of the tournament board COE is Rise of Elves’ in-game currency earned from playing in both the Adventure and
<br />
<br />
Arena modes. Both ROE and CEO are required for evolving new Elves. Meanwhile, MGB tokens are used to acquire Heroes and can only be earned through the Adventure mode or purchased from the marketplace.
<br />
<br /><b><i>
ROE Play to Earn Model
</i></b><br />
<br />
“When we initially designed the game's economic model, we made critical adjustments to prevent the issues faced by other similar games. We've implemented a three-token model to ensure a sustainable cycle where the player needs and rewards circulate back into the game itself,” Chan said.
<br />
<br />
“We've conducted thorough research, including a deep dive into other NFT games. The most significant difference between us and these blockchain pioneers lies in the rigorously calculated and disaster-avoiding design of our economic system. Additionally, our game modes and battle variations offer even more playability and diversity compared to our predecessors and competitors,” he added.
<br />
<br />
Chan envisions P2E games like Rise of Elves to serve as a gateway, opening up the world of Web3 to players who were originally in the Web2 space. “Our goal with 'Rise of Elves' is to continuously lower the entry barriers for regular mobile gamers, enabling them to enjoy the excitement and benefits of our gaming,” he said.
<br />
<br />
Rise of Elves is a game where players have multiple elves that can be traded as non-fungible tokens (NFT). Players can use their Elves to battle with other players or join various events, players who win and participate will earn cryptocurrency as a reward.

To enhance water conservation and management in the facility, the system collects rainwater from the roof and gutter, passing it through vinyl-coated mesh filters to help ensure water quality. With an 800-liter storage capacity, the harvested water serves the facility’s non-potable needs like watering plants, cleaning, and toilet flushing.<br />
<br />
The rainwater harvesting facility also operates without electricity and features labeled faucets for intuitive recycled water use.

SMFI fitted the facilities with sustainable fixtures and infrastructures
on top of its rainwater catchment system.
Midwife Narcisa Jagmis, who leads the said birthing facility, said that the facility will help them reduce their reliance on the city’s water supply systems.<br />

“Mahalagang hindi kami nawawalan ng tubig sa center, lalo na po pag nagsimula kaming magoperate bilang birthing clinic. Ngunit minsan po, walang dumadaloy na tubig at wala kaming mapagkukunan,” Jagmis shared. <br />
<br />
“Kaya napaka laking tulog po ng natural na tubig mula sa rainwater catchment system na. Madali namin itong naaccess upang gamiting panglinis o pandilig dahil konektado ito sa mga gripo. Ang tubig naman mula sa main line ay maitatabi namin para sa aming sterile operations,” she said.<br /></i>

<br />
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime), recently called on local public officials to avoid the extraction of groundwater and, instead, invest in rainwater collection for recycling and impoundment, as well as explore new technologies such as modular desalination and modular sewage treatment plants, to manage the effects of climate change on the country’s water resources.
<br />
<br />
At the multi-stakeholder forum, “<b><i>Towards a Greener Footprint</i></b>”, in Iloilo City recently, Environment Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga shared solutions-focused guidelines to help the local government reduce carbon footprint, with emphasis on water conservation to address the looming water crisis and increase access to safe water and sanitation.

“We need to invest in the appropriate engineering and infrastructure to deliver water from the source,” Secretary Loyzaga said. “We must avoid, if not reduce drastically, the extraction of groundwater which in low-lying coastal areas causes subsidence and increases flooding.”
<br />
<br />
“Rainwater catchments will not only provide additional supply for household use but will also help ensure the availability of surface water through the maintenance of watershed cover when impounded,” Secretary Loyzaga said.
</blockquote><br />
<br />
Based on the latest report of the Philippine Statistics Authority, water abstracted for own use increased from 215.2 billion cubic meters (bcm) in 2020 to 217.8 bcm in 2021 countrywide. From 2010 to 2021, the largest amount of self-abstracted water is for the power sector (58.7%). This was followed by agriculture (33.5%); mining and quarrying, manufacturing, and construction (5.3%); and services sector and households (2.6%).
<br />
<br />
Earlier this month, the DENR said the country still has enough water supply, but proper management is needed to prevent a possible water crisis by the end of the year.
<br />
<br />
The call was met with a resounding response from the private sector, particularly, SM Prime. In the same forum, SM Supermalls Vice President for Corporate Compliance Engr. Liza B. Silerio shared how SM Prime has stepped up the sustainability programs that it has been doing since SM Supermalls started recycling water in the 1990s.
<br />
<br />
From rainwater catchment to help deter flooding in communities where its malls are located, SM Prime also pioneered the mall-based rainwater filtration system that converts the collected rainwater to be potable enough for washing, cleaning and even drinking. Launched at SM City Baguio, the facility will supply mall tenants with enough potable water to help reduce sourcing from the communities’ water table.
<br />
<br /><blockquote>
“As an integrated property developer, we have seen the first-hand effects of natural hazards that are caused by the change in weather patterns in the Philippines,” Engr. Silerio explained. “El Nino and La Nina are two phenomena resulting from climate change. Our country ranks number one in the World Risk Index 2022 report as the most vulnerable among 193 nations.”
</blockquote><br />
<br />
Faced with this challenge, Engr. Silerio shared that SM Prime will continue to find innovative ways to address the climate challenges. “We continue to evolve and adapt technology to improve our resource consumption as part of our climate action,” she concluded.
