Wazzup Pilipinas!

Global innovation leader and world’s number one PC maker Lenovo is offering its laptop devices at discounted prices this August as part of its cash rebate campaign that coincides with SM’s Cybermonth celebration, where customers can purchase a Lenovo Ultrabook for as low as PHP 12,995.

Featured in the campaign are the newly released S145 and S130 Ultrabooks that measure as thin as 17.7mm and less than 1.5kg in weight. The bezels are also significantly reduced on the sides for a more compact form factor, and internals are upgradeable for both RAM and SSD storage.

From now until August 30, 2019, the S130, S145, and IdeaPad 330 will be offered at prices below their SRP. The full list of participating Lenovo devices and their promo prices are as follows:

For Lenovo Philippines Country General Manager Michael Ngan, the rebate promo is for students and those who are still looking for the ideal device that can be used for everyday needs. “The academic year has just begun for most schools and to help students make the most of their learning experience, we are offering our IdeaPads at a much affordable price range. Apart from the lower price, users will enjoy various features critical in boosting productivity, whether at home or in school.”

Embracing form, function, style, and fun, each IdeaPad delivers responsive performance users can count on. The IdeaPad S145, for instance, which was just released this July, is a reliable and affordable device for everyday needs. Its narrow bezel makes for a cleaner and larger display area, and the crystal-clear Dolby Audio™ provides exceptional entertainment.

In addition to the discount, the participating devices come with a 2-year onsite warranty. To avail, visit major electronics stores nationwide. For more information, contact Lenovo Philippines on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/lenovophilippines/.

DOE Opens Applications for its First Nominated Petroleum Blocks

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Department of Energy (DOE) shall be conducting the opening of applications for nominated areas under the Philippine Conventional Energy Contracting Program (PCECP) on August 16 (Sulu Sea Basin), 19 (Northwest Palawan Basin), and 20 (Southeast Luzon Basin) at the agency's headquarters.

Each of the three nominating companies has complied with area clearance and nomination requirements prescribed under Department Circular (DC) No. 2017-12-0017 on the PCECP Circular and Guidelines.

Challengers have until 11:00 AM on each day to submit their application requirements before bids are opened at 1:30 PM.

The DOE has set up a one-stop-shop at the venue to accommodate any last-minute submissions from challengers until the prescribed deadline.

Members of the Centralized Review and Evaluation Committee (C-REC) will be spearheading the bid opening activity to run the "completeness check" for each submitted PROPOSAL. The lack of any documentary requisite in the PCECP Guidelines and Application Checklist, which includes legal, technical and financial qualification documents, will warrant an automatic disqualification.

On the other hand, qualified applications shall be subjected to further exhaustive evaluations from the C-REC, before the endorsement of the highest-ranked application to the Secretary. This would then be followed by the signing of a corresponding Service Contract by the President.

The DOE is pushing to reinvigorate petroleum exploration and development activities in the country to serve as a cushioning measure against the volatility of oil prices, which has a direct impact on the costs of transport and power. One successful case is the Malampaya Deep Water Gas-to-Power Project, the largest natural gas industrial project in the Philippines, which recovered all costs in four years.

Thus, the Department is committed to 'Explore, Explore, Explore' in its pursuit of energy independence, security, and sustainability through the effective and reasonable development of all indigenous energy resources in the Philippines.

Avéne Thermal Spring Water – A Gift from Nature for Good Looking Skin

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Redness, flushing and irritation are common problems for sensitive skin sufferers. Treating sensitive skin can be quite tricky, if not downright frustrating, but now there is a solution and it is water.

This isn’t just regular water, however. It is spring water from France called Avéne, a French brand based around the science of the local spring water that originates from the beautiful mountains of Cevennes in France. This one-of-a-kind product contains minerals with healthy benefits and therapeutic properties proven to soothe, soften, and restore the natural balance of every skin type, especially sensitive skin.

The French Academy of Medicine recognizes the many benefits of Avène Thermal Spring Water to be anti-irritating, soothing and anti-inflammatory. Known for its healing power, Avène soothes and heals skin with dermatitis, ichthyosis (extremely dry skin), eczema and psoriasis. It helps reduce inflammation, relieve irritation and speed healing.

But besides its almost miraculous effect on sensitive, afflicted skin, Avène Thermal Spring Water has many cosmetic properties as well. Misting skin with Avène is a very pleasurable experience in itself, but the best is yet to come because it does help to make skin soft, fresh-looking and dewy as well.

Here is a “good-looking skin regimen” with the help of Avène Thermal Spring Water:

In the morning:

· Spray it on first thing to gently awaken your complexion and give it a special glow and radiance.

During the day:

· When you’re hot, tired, or icky, mist your face, neck and arms to feel its soothing properties and leave your skin feeling soft and fresh.

· Use it to soothe reddened skin and to feel nice and cool after staying out in the sun.

· You can also spray on Avène following hair removal to remove the sting or discomfort.

· Spray Avène on puffy eyelids to create a sense of relaxation and to lessen the puffiness.

· Use it to set your makeup.

· After removing makeup, spray it on to brighten your complexion.

Once you start using Avène Thermal Spring Water, you’ll find you’ve got to use it again and again. It comes in three sizes to ensure you always have some on hand: regular size (300 ml) for your bathroom, medium size (150 ml) for your bag, and a convenient pocket size (50 ml) for traveling.

Avène is available at Watsons and at department stores and malls. For more information about Avène Thermal Spring Water, please visit www.eau-thermal-avene.ph. Or like @EauThermalAvène.PH on Facebook and @avènephilippines on IG.
