About Bridgerton
From Shondaland and Creator Chris Van Dusen, the second season of Bridgerton follows Lord Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), the eldest Bridgerton sibling and Viscount, as he sets out to find a suitable wife. Driven by his duty to uphold the family name, Anthony’s search for a debutante who meets his impossible standards seems ill-fated until Kate (Simone Ashley) and her younger sister Edwina (Charithra Chandran) Sharma arrive from India. When Anthony begins to court Edwina, Kate discovers the true nature of his intentions — a true love match is not high on his priority list — and decides to do everything in her power to stop the union. But in doing so, Kate and Anthony’s verbal sparring matches only bring them closer together, complicating matters on both sides. Across Grosvenor Square, the Featheringtons must welcome the newest heir to their estate while Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) continues to navigate the ton whilst keeping her deepest secret from the people closest to her.

Bridgerton is a romantic, scandalous, and clever series that celebrates the timelessness of enduring friendships, families finding their way, and the search for a love that conquers all. The series also stars Adjoa Andoh (Lady Danbury), Lorraine Ashbourne (Mrs. Varley), Harriet Cains (Philipa Featherington), Bessie Carter (Prudence Featherington), Shelley Conn (Mary Sharma), Nicola Coughlan (Penelope Featherington), Phoebe Dynevor (Daphne Basset), Ruth Gemmell (Violet Bridgerton), Florence Hunt (Hyacinth Bridgerton), Martins Imhangbe (Will Mondrich), Claudia Jessie (Eloise Bridgerton), Calam Lynch (Theo Sharpe), Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton), Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte), Luke Thompson (Benedict Bridgerton), Will Tilston (Gregory Bridgerton), Polly Walker (Portia Featherington), Rupert Young (Jack), and Julie Andrews as the voice of Lady Whistledown.

‘Squid Game’ Star Jung Ho-Yeon Becomes IAM Worldwide’s First-Ever Global Ambassador

This 2022, IAM Worldwide is focused on aggressively expanding their company operations and market influence. And in line with this, the company says it is ready for bigger things and is delighted to welcome its newest and first-ever global ambassador – South Korean model and actress Jung Ho-Yeon.

Ho-Yeon is best known for playing the role of North Korean defector Kang Sae-Byeok (067) in Netflix’s Squid Game. The series became Netflix’s most watched show ever within a week of its launch on the streamer, with 142 million member households globally watching the show. Since then, Ho-Yeon’s fame has skyrocketed on a global scale with now having 23.7 million followers on Instagram and counting. Before her acting debut, she gained popularity as a top runway model starting at the age of 16 and has starred in Korea’s Next Top Model in 2013.

For IAM Worldwide President/Founder Allen Marvin Yu Eder, having Jung Ho-Yeon on board is perfect for the company’s goal to reach potential millennial and Gen Z consumers. “Ms. Jung Ho-Yeon is definitely the exceptional choice as the new face of the company and our products. She’s now a powerhouse celebrity known globally and really connects well with the youth. She’s a glamorous ace for IAM Worldwide”, he explained.

Moreover, Vice President/Founder Aika Lorraine Uy believes that lots of Filipinos right now are really into the Hallyu wave with the Korean entertainment so having a very prominent star like Ho-Yeon is a real honor as her chic personality and glamorous aura greatly compliments the company’s goal to inspire the youth and feel connected with IAM Worldwide’s products more than ever. She said, “We consider being associated with the very lovable Jung Ho-Yeon as a success already. We strongly feel that she will be able to scale up the company’s presence and customer base by a thousandfold not just here in the Philippines, but also in other countries.”

Ho-Yeon has won millions of hearts because of her talent, beauty and charm. She recently won the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series at the 28th Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards last month and the Best Actress in an Action Series at the 27th Critics Choice Awards held last March 13. Moreover, she recently accepted the global ambassador role for luxury brands Louis Vuitton, Chanel Beauty, and sports wear Adidas.

Meanwhile, General Manager/Co-Founder Joanna Mañego considers this a “proud moment” for the company since Ho-Yeon deeply understands her role as an ambassador and fully trusts the benefits of IAM Worldwide’s products. “We are so proud that we have Ms. Jung Ho-Yeon on our side as our company goes to its pivotal moment of expansion. With her campaign, we believe that we will be able to encourage more people to be and stay healthy with IAM Worldwide’s products,” the GM stated.

Get ready as the young global fashion icon and superstar proudly endorses the AMAZING Pure Organic Barley that is a grass leaf, 100% organically grown from Australia in the young green stage which is purported to be the most prolific, balanced supply of nutrients of any single source. Another product is the AMAZING Immunergy with Vitamin C + Zinc + Vitamin D + Moringa Oleifera, an immunity and energy boosting powerhouse. And the AMAZING Acai Berry Extract with Collagen and Bacopa Monnieri, with 8 essential ingredients to protect the body from damaging effects of free radicals while enhancing one’s memory and promoting skin elasticity.

Truly, IAM Worldwide is grateful because it’s Ho-Yeon’s very first time to endorse a company and brand that’s proudly Filipino. And if you ask her, she can’t wait to bring happiness to her growing hardcore fans and supporters here in the country. She hopes to visit the Philippines soon and is very thankful to all the love she’s getting on social media coming from Filipinos.

“Sending my biggest hugs to you. I am always proud that I have such caring and loving fans from the Philippines! Take care and stay healthy everyone. Fighting!”, says Jung Ho-Yeon.

Globe & Its Partners Mobilize Collective Support for Hunger Alleviation and Holistic Assistance

Every day, millions of Filipinos go to sleep on an empty stomach.

In the Philippines, an estimated 2.5 million people reported experiencing involuntary hunger as of the third quarter of 2021.^[1] Many lost their livelihood due to the pandemic and were challenged with making ends meet daily.

With these challenges, immediate and collective action is an imperative. In this regard, Globe, through its Globe of Good program, aims to provide a platform that can bridge multi-sectoral stakeholders and encourage collective action towards achieving sustainable and inclusive development for communities by leveraging the power of technology.

In partnership with the Ayala Foundation, Caritas Philippines, and Tzu Chi Foundation Philippines, the Globe of Good program intends to provide a holistic intervention focusing on hunger alleviation and livelihood opportunities to benefit vulnerable families. Through these partnerships, Globe also promotes employee and customer engagement by conducting fundraising activities to encourage them to contribute to these initiatives.

The digital solutions group intends to strengthen its ecosystem of partners to drive social impact and allow its multi-sectoral partners to connect with and provide holistic programs to disadvantaged communities through the power of technology. The program empowers stakeholders through digital volunteerism, value chain integration for smallholder farmers, sustainable livelihood initiatives, and employment opportunities.

“We aspire for Globe of Good to be a platform that will allow people to use digital tools to create social impact. We want to extend everyday acts of kindness to those in need, so that we can create wonderful and uplifting experiences for all Filipinos,” said Yoly Crisanto, SVP Group Corporate Communications and Chief Sustainability Officer at Globe.

Programs under Globe of Good include family feeding activities, skills training for micro-entrepreneurship and vocational courses, access to microfinancing for start-up businesses, and employment opportunities for skilled workers.

The Ayala Foundation currently implements the #BrigadangAyala Kaakay Program to support families of those who lost their jobs in Metro Manila during the pandemic starting with a 12-week supplemental feeding initiative. Likewise, Caritas Philippines has the Alay Kapwa Legacy Program to provide livelihood through Self-Help Groups for low-income communities in Visayas and Mindanao, in partnership with local dioceses.

Meanwhile, under its #TzuChiSeeds Program, Tzu Chi Philippines has organized the Davao del Norte Banana Planting Livelihood and the Zamboanga Youth Education to Employment projects. These are designed to strengthen and empower the capacities of affected individuals, families, and communities to become self-sufficient through education, livelihood creation and humanitarian assistance.

“As a technology partner, Globe brings together its ecosystem to push forward collective action. There is an urgent need for all of us to work together to ensure sustainable and inclusive recovery from the pandemic. For every Juan that we help and capacitate, there is a multiplier effect on his family, community, and the nation,” said Crisanto.

Globe encourages every Filipino who can help to be part of the ecosystem of impact.

In the spirit of bayanihan, customers can use their Globe Rewards points that are about to expire on March 31 to donate to the Globe of Good. For as low as 1 point, customers can help families put food on the table and contribute to sustainable community programs.

Customers can go to the Rewards section of the New GlobeOne app, click the “DONATE” icon, choose Globe of Good and the corresponding denomination you want to donate, and press “REDEEM.” A confirmation message will be sent by 4438 upon successful donation.
