Wazzup Pilipinas!

Business process outsourcing giant Sutherland Global Services recently renewed its collaboration with Globe Business, making the corporate and ICT arm of Globe as its primary Philippine provider for both wired and wireless connectivity services as well as co-location on the telecommunications company’s world-class and state-of-the-art MK2 data center.

Company officials from the US-based BPO confirmed that Globe Business has become its current primary circuit, effectively re-establishing ties forged between two industry prime movers. It has been a partnership built around mutual business confidence and technological reliability since the BPO’s first day of Philippine operations in 2005.

Sutherland’s Associate Vice President for Technology Michael Quiambao said that the importance of seamless connectivity to the BPO and its business cannot be overemphasized. “As far as our clients’ business metrics are concerned, we are bound to honor our commitments with them. Thanks to Globe Business, we strengthen our clients’ faith in us, and in so doing, we boost our credibility with them. We have entrusted our connectivity requirements to Globe Business as the major provider of internet services where most of our applications are routed.”

Lee Stay Curious Campaign

Curiosity is a quality that is often associated with danger and mischief. But it is also a valuable skill that propels innovation, initiates breakthroughs and urges a person to keep on pushing and exploring, and in the process, discover new ideas, forge new paths.

The legendary and pioneering denim brand Lee recognizes the power of curiosity, and to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of its iconic Union-Alls, and the exclusive preview of two of its newest innovative product lines for Holiday 2013 – Lee Stretch Deluxe and Blue Label at the Lee Concept store, in Glorietta 2, Lee introduces five highly accomplished individuals, multi-hyphenates who best exemplify how curiosity leads to success – not just in one but in two or more fields.

Leeroy New is known for his work as a sculptor and fashion designer, and he would not strictly call himself any of the two. He explains, “I primarily trained in sculpture because I felt it would best equip me with the skills necessary to execute ideas that were not necessarily 2-dimensional.” The association, he believes, is entirely incidental. “As a natural progression from creating sculptures and defining spaces, I felt at ease with the idea of incorporating the human element into my practice, hence, the works that overlap with the intentions of fashion.”

Jean X and Why

"Stay Curious", Lee Jeans’ new campaign is an initiative for the inquisitive. With 124 years of authentic denim heritage, the brand's ability to stay hungry for the new puts them at the forefront of denim innovation. "Stay Curious", a plan of action and engagement is a push to have every unanswered question answered, to have the unfamiliar become more familiar—all by living through your favorite pair of Lee jeans.

"We need that feeling, the emotion and personal expression that for a brand like ours, is critically expressed through the fabric. Denim is intriguing and unique in that it can truly reflect the personality of the wearer - the little scrapes, scuff, tears and frays, the way it gets better with ages and over time becomes part of the person it clothes…’" Lee EMEA Head of Design Gerald Bultot explains.

Every pair of Lee Jeans becomes part of your personal history, living through experiences with you—like second skin. It will document and record your stories. It will become your past, your now and your new. While it certainly reminds you of moments in every stain, rip and wear, it'll also remind you of possibilities. Lee Jeans encourages the liberation of your passion for expression. Take it from the jean-ius himself: “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”—Albert Einstein.

Make your individual denim documentaries speak, always STAY CURIOUS.
