Wazzup Pilipinas!


All-female gaming league Liga Adarna is set to launch a series of online playthroughs for a cause as the newest gaming partner of World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines’ for the Now Loading: Gamers for Nature campaign.

With the importance of environmental conservation and the nature’s impact to human health relevant more than ever, League Commissioner Let Perez encouraged their followers to help #ChangeTheEnding for the planet.

"Unlike our life online where we have multiverses and multiple worlds to explore, in reality, we only have one world, and we have to do our part to preserve and protect it. We are one with WWF to create awareness and fight to change the ending," said Perez, who is also known in the gaming community as Queen Wasabi.

“We are very excited to be partnering with WWF. As someone like me who does work remotely most of the time, and living in my online world, it is very easy to forget the reality of what our world is becoming. This advocacy is a good reminder that we only have one world we live in and we need to take part in taking care of it," she added.

Launched in March 2020, Liga Adarna is a franchise-based esports league for women that aims to bring together and nurture women in esports. Talents from the group’s all-girl roster will stream special Mobile Legends, Call of Duty, Valorant, and Dota 2 playthroughs on Liga Adarna’s official Facebook page starting this November to raise funds for the organization’s environmental education initiatives. The initiative also aims to provide aid for the fisherfolk of Lagonoy Gulf, which covers the Provinces of Albay, Camarines Sur, and Catanduanes, whose homes and livelihood were ravaged by Super Typhoon Rolly and Typhoon Ulysses.

Liga Adarna is powered by mobile services provider Smart Communications, Inc., its official telco partner, which has a longstanding advocacy to promote esports and bring subscribers closer to their passions.

WWF-Philippines is set to hold more playthrough streams for the gaming community in the next few weeks to help #ChangeTheEnding for the environment. Stay tuned to WWF-Philippines’ official social media pages for the complete lineup and schedule.

“Puhunan Sa Tindahan” Nagsimula na!

Sama-sama ang buong mundo na may mga pinagdadaanan dahil sa epekto ng COVID. At dahil dito nagiba ang daloy ng mga pang araw-araw nating pamumuhay. Maraming nagsara na kompanya at mga hanap buhay, at marami din sa atin na nawalan ng trabaho. At yung mga may sariling negosyo, ay tinamaan din dahil sa lockdown.


Dahil sa banta ng COVID iniiwasan nating lumabas nang walang plano, hindi pwedeng basta basta makaalis ng bahay at bumyahe ng malayo, at pinagbabawal din ang siksikan at iniiwasang maging matao ang mga pampublikong lugar. At dahil diyan kahit ang simpleng negosyo na pagpapatakbo ng mga sari-sari store at karenderia ay hindi na ganon kadaling gawin.



Sa katunayan, ayon sa mga ginawang pagaaral mga 49% ng mga sari-sari store at 38% ng mga karenderia ay nahirapan ipagpatuloy ang negosyo nila dahil sa hirap ng pamimili ng bentahin. Dahil dito maraming nagsara at ang iba lumiit ang kita.


Naniniwala ang mga economic experts sa bansa na ang sari-sari store ang susi para muling sumigla ang ekonomiya. Sa kanilang pagtataya umaabot sa 13% ang kontribusyon ng mga tindahan sa GDP ng bansa, o humigit kumulang ₱1.5 Trilyon. Ibig sabihin, ang pag bagsak ng mga simpleng sari-sari store at karenderia ay nakaapekto ng malaki sa ekonomiya ng bansa.


Drive Groceries and Billease nag tag-team!

Sa tulong ng Drive Groceries at Billease, mas madaling makakaahon ng mga may ari ng mga sari-sari store at mga karenderia dahil sa progamang, “Puhunan sa Tindahan”, na inaasahan nating maka tulong sa ekonomiya ng mga maliliit na komunidad.


Pag mas maraming malalapit na tindahan na matatakbuhan, mas makakaiwas tayo sa siksikan sa mga grocery at palenke para sa pamimili at pang araw araw na pangangailangan, at makakatulong tayo sa pag “stay at home” na patakaran ng gobyerno upang malabanan ang COVID.



Ang “Puhunan Para sa Tindahan.” ay isang programa kung saan pwede kang makautang nang hanggang ₱40,000 nabhalaga ng paninda sa tulong ng BillEase at ide-deliver naman ang mga pinamili sa bahay mo sa pamamagitan ng network ng Drive Groceries na walang delivery fee. At lahat ng yan magagawa mo nang walang kahirap hirap gamit ang chrome app sa smartphone o sa computer mo saan ka man sa Pilipinas.


Drive Groceries Online

Pumunta lang sa groceries.drivemanila.com para sa online grocery shopping. Mag add to cart lang ng mga napiling paninda mula ₱5,000 hanggang ₱10,000 sa inyong unang loan. Pagkatapos ng check out, piliin lang ang “Pay with BillEase,” bago i-finalize ang order. Makakatanggap kayo ng email na may invoice at instructions mula sa Billease.


Sa loob lamang ng 24 oras sa pag submit ng requirements ay aprubado agad ang loan mo at asahan ang next day delivery ng pinamili mula sa Drive Groceries. Maari ding gamitin ang Drive Groceries para mai-schedule ang mga susunod na pamimili na maaaring umabot sa ₱40,000.


Layunin ng Drive at BillEase na makatulong sa ating mga mumunting negosyante para sabay sabay tayong makaraos sa malaking pagsubok na dala ng COVID, at kamakailan lang kasama na ang pananalanta ng bagyong Ulysses. Sa hirap ng buhay ngayon, mabuti at may maasahan tayong tulay sa kabuhayan.

Unique Qualities of Singaporean Cuisine You Should Know About

Wazzup Pilipinas!


Food, good food is a core element of Singaporean culture. In fact, 'have you eaten?' is a popular greeting used to express affection in Singapore. If you've ever been to Singapore, you would know that Singaporeans are very particular about their food. It's not uncommon to find them involved in heated debates about who and where serves the best meals.

What makes Singaporean cuisine unique?

Singaporean cuisine is a rich fusion of mainly Chinese, Indian and Malaysian influences. Most items on the menu in Singapore have their origins in either of these three countries. These dishes have undergone years of adaptation to make them uniquely Singaporean. It is also influenced by Western and other Asian cuisines. If you're worried about how Singaporean cuisine fits with your diet restrictions, you shouldn't. In Singapore, the diversity in religious and cultural affiliations means that there is food to cater for people with diet restrictions like Muslims, Hindus, and Vegans.

The flavour of Singaporean food is so diverse, it includes sweet, sour, spicy and rich citrus flavours. The meals are made by combination of spices from different cultures to produce a unique tasting masterpiece.


Best Meals You Should Try in Singapore

If you visit Singapore and leave without exploring its rich food heritage, then you've missed out on half of the Singapore experience. Unlike typical Asian meals that are either rice or noodles based, Singaporean cuisine contains both while incorporating meat, fish and a variety of spices that cut across cultures.


Here's a short list of foods you shouldn't miss out on while in Singapore.


Hainanese chicken rice:

Hainanese chicken rice which belongs to the rice category is considered a Singaporean national dish. It is frequently recommended for tourists. It's a filling lunch of steamed chicken and rice. The quality of the meal depends on how well the chicken broth is made because it is used to cook the rice.


Bak kut teh or Meat Bone Tea or Pork Ribs Soup:

It is a humble Singaporean dish which has received immense recognition. It's made from a combination of pork broth and several spices like anise star and chili. It can be enjoyed in most hawking centres.


Bak Chor Mee or Minced Meat noodles:

A noodle meal garnished with minced pork, liver, meat balls or fish balls, fish cake slices in vinegar braised sauce.


Tandoori Chicken:

A Singaporean dish of Indian origin. The chicken is first marinated in lots of spices before being cooked in an oven.


Where to Eat


Hawker Centers

These were established by the government to accommodate the food hawkers after hawking was abolished. Each hawking centre accommodates dozens of stalls and sellers each specializing in a particular Singaporean meal. You can get meals for as low as $3 and because they're located in every district it's easily accessible. Don't worry, being cheap doesn't mean low quality, as hawking center cooks put great effort into their meals. Two Singaporean street hawkers became deserving recipients of the Michelin star in 2016.







Singaporeans care more about tasty meals than about posh locations, so it's not unusual to find smartly dressed business executives seated comfortably enjoying a plate of food at one of these hawking centers. Hawking centers are not only a prized cultural heritage for Singaporeans, they're also a great tourist attraction.


Restaurants




Many restaurants serving both local and foreign dishes fill the streets of downtown Singapore. While you can find restaurants focused on specific cuisines, others also serve unique fusion dishes combining both local and foreign influences. Unlike the busy hawking centers, the restaurants provide you with a more comfortable and relaxing environment to enjoy your meals. Dining here is more expensive than at the hawking centers, but you get personal service from a waiter which allows you to comfortably soak up Singaporean culture.


Some restaurants like CÉ LA VI have incorporated rooftop bars in Singapore. This enables diners to enjoy the beautiful Singaporean skyline while savoring rich meals and drinks.

Now that Covid19 restrictions have been lifted, outdoor spaces, restaurants, bars and hawking centres are to observe strict sanitation and social distancing guidelines to ensure safety. In addition to upholding these guidelines, CÉ LA VI has opted for online menus to further ensure safety.
