“We need to hydrate during extreme heat, even if we are staying indoor. It is important for our bodies to remain cool to avoid heat exhaustion and keep our focus and productivity at 100%,” said PCPPI President and Chief Executive Officer, Frederick D. Ong.

Ong agrees, “Drinking water at least 6 to 8 glasses a day is still one of the best ways to keep yourself hydrated. Even if we work long hours, we must remember to drink water to keep our mind and body working well,” he said.
Premier purified water is available in sari-sari stores and local community outlets nationwide.
PCPPI is the exclusive manufacturer of well-known beverage brands in the Philippines: Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, 7-Up, Mirinda, Mug, Gatorade, Tropicana, Lipton, Sting, Premier, Milkis, and Aquafina.
Workspaces, may it be at home or in offices, have historically been defined by the tool that people use the most — and a glance at today’s “offices” immediately informs us that modern workspaces are more stylish, more agile, and just a bit more intuitive than the traditional ones. Huawei decided to crank all these attributes to the max, as the company officially releases the latest addition to their signature notebook lineup, the newest HUAWEI MateBook Series on April 28, 2022, in the Philippines.
The HUAWEI MateBook 14, HUAWEI MateBook D 14, and HUAWEI MateBook D 15 all carry the Huawei DNA of three core factors: aesthetics, innovation, and intelligence. It’s these three elements weaving together organically that set the HUAWEI MateBook Family apart, and by doing it so well that they redefine what a workspace looks and feels like to users – one that’s seamlessly intelligent in every scenario.
With the ever-increasing need for flexible working, it is no doubt that having a fully interconnected experience will underpin the future of the smart office. As a way to provide users with the best seamless experience, Huawei has taken another step forward with the launch of Super Device — a revolutionary technology that allows multiple devices to function as one. With this Smart Office solution, Huawei aims to democratize users from the complications and interruptions of working with a lot of devices, giving them a chance at a centered and focused creativity and productivity experience.
HUAWEI MateBook 14
The MateBook 14 immediately makes an impression with its 2K FullView Display, with the bezels pushed ever further to the laptop’s edges that it’s like a floating window. And what a window it is: 90% screen-to-body ratio, 185 ppi pixel density, and 3:2 aspect ratio for superb versatility. Next, there’s the 11th Gen Intel Core processor that packs an incredible amount of performance into such a compact frame, offering up to 29% faster speed than the previous generation courtesy of the i7-G1165G7 chip and 512GB of SSD space. An integrated Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics chip keeps all visuals as crispy as possible, and an updated Shark fin thermal dissipation system ensures the laptop stays cool and stable even at high loads.
Aside from running on one of the most advanced processors, HUAWEI MateBook 14 is equipped with an Eye Comfort Mode that is effective at minimizing blue light emissions, alongside a DC Dimming that helps eliminate any perceptible screen flickers that can put a strain on the eyes, especially over a long session.
The HUAWEI MateBook 14 – weighing just 1.49kg and measuring just 15.9mm at the thickest part – sports a minimalist metallic design in Classic Space Grey that allows it to be extremely slim and lightweight while looking positively stylish. Making it even more incredible is the device’s 56Wh high capacity battery, and Intelligent Power Saving technology that holds enough charge for the notebook to support 11 hours of battery life.
Bringing serious smarts to the table is the Super Device feature — an intelligent cross-device collaboration system that treats any nearby Huawei device as part of the MateBook’s core functionality, and vice versa. Super Device maximizes productivity by allowing Huawei devices to interconnect and work with one another seamlessly and flawlessly, letting users work and play as they desire.
HUAWEI MateBook D Series
The MateBook D Series comes in two size configurations (14- and 15-inches), but both FullView displays feature Full HD IPS panels with a cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio, as well as TÜV Rheinland certification for Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free support for more comfortable viewing experiences.
Performance-wise, the MateBook D 14 and D 15 share the latest 11th Gen Intel Core processors built on the 10nm SuperFin technology. 16GB of RAM and high-speed NVMe PCIe SSD storage means running and switching between tasks are snappier than ever, and the Performance Mode toggle unleashes the CPU’s full power to accommodate more demanding work.
In terms of look and feel, both the HUAWEI MateBook D 14 and D 15 come in a tougher and stronger metallic body, with two stunning variants: Space Grey and Mystic Silver. To maximize portability, these new D Series notebooks are superbly light and compact, weighing only 1.56kg.
Huawei’s ingenuity also continues with small details that matter like the HUAWEI MateBook D Series’ cutting-edge Smart Fingerprint Power Button that automatically authenticates identity when powered on, and saves the hassle of keying in a password to access Windows. Another essential productivity tool is the Recessed Camera function that’s hidden underneath a keycap, and enables easy access to webcam functionality while offering complete privacy when there’s no need for a camera.
Super Device capability also comes standard with the HUAWEI MateBook D Series, instantly connecting to any Huawei device within proximity. Syncing with different form factors is more seamless than ever — from sharing files to using mobile apps; from collaborative editing across screens to projecting on larger monitors — all interactions are made wireless and intuitive from the moment Super Device activates.
The MateBook Series family has plenty of amazing features for consumers to explore, such as double-digit hours of battery life, SuperCharge capabilities, and fingerprint power button access. Get some hands-on time of your own as soon as the Huawei MateBook family hits the online shelves on April 19, 2022:

The first reactions to Tom Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick are in, after the highly-anticipated sequel had its world premiere recently as part of this year’s CinemaCon.
The lucky audience who got to watch the film almost one month before it opens in cinemas was unanimous in hailing the sequel as “worthy of the long wait.” Below are just a sampling of the very positive post-screening reactions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvrF_ty4NM
Sean O’Connell – Cinemablend
#TopGunMaverick is a masterful adrenaline rush. Tom Cruise is our greatest movie star. This delivers EVERYTHING you want in a blockbuster. Aerial scenes are jaw dropping. Character work is fantastic. Pure action with massive heart. A must see!
Steve Weintraub – Collider
Absolutely loved #TopGunMaverick. Blown away by the cinematography and flying scenes and of course @TomCruise’s performance. Rest of the cast was great with special props to @Miles_Teller and @glenpowell. This is the kind of movie you want to see on the biggest screen possible.
Jamie Graham – Total Film
Not sure it’s possible to make a more perfect sequel than Top Gun: Maverick. If you like the original, this is everything you’ve waited 36 years for, balancing nostalgic call-backs with a fresh, dynamic plot and STUNNING aerial photography. Totes emosh, too. I’ll be stunned if there’s a better blockbuster this year.
Keith Simanton – IMDb
The typical crowd of somnambulists at CinemaCon in Las Vegas are notoriously tough. So it’s remarkable that when shown TOP GUN: MAVERICK they applauded 4 times *during* the movie. During it. It’s going to be a massive hit.
Chris Lindahl – Indiewire
After hearing for a week about movies that need to be seen in theaters, Paramount delivered a big-screen spectacle in Top Gun: Maverick at #CinemaCon, a solid standalone actioner that gets its heart from the backstory of the original film.
Drew Taylor – The Wrap / Light The Fuse Podcast
#TopGunMaverick is a profound cinematic experience and easily the best film of the year. What Kosinski, @chrismcquarrie, @eddiehamilton and of course @TomCruise have accomplished is epic and intimate, heart stopping and heartbreaking. However good you think it’ll be, it’s better.
Erik Davis – Fandango – Rotten Tomatoes
One word: Wow! #TopGunMaverick is absolutely terrific in every conceivable way. The action & flying is crazy intense & continually changes & evolves. You’re on the edge of your seat. I was not prepared for how emotional it was, too. The crowd cheered a dozen times. It’s real deal
Yong Chavez – ABC CBN
#TopGunMaverick is everything I hoped it would be & more. When the word ‘cinema’ is invoked, it’s always about auteur-filmmakers. But for many generations of theatergoers all over the world, it also means Tom Cruise in a movie that makes them cheer & gives them joy for 2+ hours.
In Philippine cinemas May 25, Top Gun: Maverick is distributed by Paramount Pictures through Columbia Pictures. Connect with #TopGunMaverick
