Use your power to make environmental change a reality

Use your power to make change. This is what Philips, Sun Life, and World Wide Fund (WWF) Philippines campaign for in the Earth Hour held at the Sun Life Centre Green Roof at Bonifacio Global City on March 29, 2014.

“For this year, we have the superhero theme for Earth Hour. We have Spiderman as our first ever superhero ambassador,” says Mr. Jose Maria Lorenzo Tan, CEO of WWF Philippines, “We want to ask people, what heroic act can you do to save the planet? We chose Spiderman because he is a superhero who shows that we can all be great once we realize the power that we have.”

In addition to this partnership with WWF Philippines, Philips also collaborated with Sun Life Financial—another fervent supporter of green living. Philips is a tenant of the Sun Life Centre building which is a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) construction in Bonifacio Global City.

Sun Broad Band Quest 2013 Grand Champion Iktus Launches Self-Titled Album

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I witnessed how they won at the Sun Broad Band Quest 2013 competition held at the Music Museum located in Greenhills, San Juan. I was there when they announced the winner and was so very proud for they truly deserve the spot on top place.

Though the others were a real competition, Iktus delivered their performance very well . Mind you that the performance was done live so it gives you an idea of how great they were to impress the judges and convince each one of them to give them the title of becoming the very first champion of the Sun Broad Band Quest annual search for the best bands in the Philippines. They will soon hand over another crown to the next winner sometime probably this November as revealed by Sun Broadband Marketing Senior Manager, Karen Capellan.

Their self-titled album launch is their momentous glory of finally showing off their musical talents to the world now immortalized as a concrete album under MCA Music, Inc. with their proud faces smiling on the album cover. It is an accomplishment well deserving of a celebration. Thus the album launch in the form of a bloggers night last March 27, 2014 held at Flare located in Metrowalk Commercial Complex.
