  • 5 Activities to Kickstart your Morning Along with a Cup of Great Taste Duo

    For a lot of people, it can be challenging to start the day, especially if you have a lot on your plate. Having an early head start and energizing morning is essential in accomplishing your daily to-dos and responsibilities. Here are five activities to help you kickstart your mornings with ease:

    Create a journal entry

    Apart from physically waking yourself up, keeping your mind sharp at the start of everyday can help you look forward to what the day may bring. Allot at least 15 minutes in the morning to sit down and do a decorative gratitude page on your journal. For the ones expecting a busy day ahead, you can map out your daily plans and to-dos to organize the things you need to accomplish. 

    Walk your pets

    Most dedicated pet parents spend a part of their mornings checking on their furry friends that they tend to get some exercise in. Stretch your legs by going for a 10-minute walk or go for a quick jog around the village. You can soak up the sun for some vitamin D and indulge in a simple exercise for both you and your pet.

    Develop a home work-out routine

    Working out can be daunting for beginners. But the good thing is, even at home you can find an activity that will improve your body’s stamina and make you physically alert throughout the day. You can do quick 10-minute workouts like push-ups and sit-ups, follow a yoga routine on YouTube, or get into HIIT workouts. Just make sure to get enough sleep prior to working out to avoid getting over-fatigued before work starts.

    Enroll in a dance class

    Love music and dancing alone? Then it’s time to try something new: dance classes. Not only are they fun to learn, but they can also be a great form of workout. You can start by joining online Zumba classes or even learn the basics of street dancing from their rooms. This activity can wake up anyone’s senses in the mornings or anytime of the day.

    Sleep and get up early

    Sleeping early and getting ample hours of sleep may help give you the energy and mood boost you need. This also means that you can wake up early the next morning and can get more things done. For more energizing mornings, try cooking a proper breakfast meal and pair it with a great cup of Great Taste Duo coffee. Its balance of dark roast coffee and right sweetness of brown sugar is the tamang timpla you’ll enjoy.  

    Great Taste Duo is the first two-in-one coffee mix that is sure to help keep you energized every morning. Affordably priced at only Php 4.00 per sachet, it’s an ideal drink to give you the daily boost of energy to kickstart your day!

  • Here’s How Google & YouTube will Support the Philippine Elections

    As part of an ongoing commitment to connect voters to timely information and help protect the integrity of the Philippines elections, Google and YouTube announced a series of product features, partnerships, and programs. 

    Raising authoritative election information 

    As Election Day approaches, millions of people in the Philippines will be turning to YouTube to get the latest election news, and learn more about candidates and the voting process. To connect people to authoritative election-related information, YouTube provides a variety of Election Information Panels:

    ●      Candidate information panel: When YouTube viewers in the Philippines search for the names of President and Vice President candidates, a relevant candidate information panel will show at the top of their search results. This panel highlights information on the candidates, such as their political party and what office they’re running for. Information about candidates and parties is sourced from vetted, non-partisan, third-party sources.

    ●      How to vote information panel: To help people learn more about the voting process,an information panel surfaces on YouTube for all searches pertaining to “how to vote”. These panels will link to the Commissions on Elections’ (COMELEC) website featuring relevant materials, requirements, and the step-by-step of the voting process.

    Google

    This is part of the existing portfolio of features that YouTube has rolled out in the country, aimed at raising authoritative information. These include Top News and Breaking News shelves for fast-moving, breaking news events; information panels that indicate funding sources from publishers that receive public or government funding; and information panels giving topical context that links to third party sources such as Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica, for videos on a number of well-established topics that can be prone to misinformation including the Holocaust, the Apollo moon landing, and Martial Law in the Philippines. 

    Speaking about the election information panels in the country, Emily Moxley, Vice President for Product Management at YouTube said, “Political news and events can be subject to misinformation, so the availability of authoritative information sources is crucial. Over the last few years, we’ve made deep investments to make YouTube a more reliable source for news, while also maintaining the openness of the platform. Our work is ongoing and we are committed to making YouTube a vibrant and safe community for a healthy political discourse as well as help protect the integrity of elections.”

    Removing election-related violative content & reducing harmful misinformation 

    YouTube’s Community Guidelines apply equally to everyone. From February 2021 to January 2022, the platform removed over 400,000 videos uploaded from the Philippines for Community Guidelines. YouTube elections misinformation policies prohibit content that: 

    ●      Misleads voters about the time, place, means, or eligibility requirements for voting, or false claims that could materially discourage voting

    ●      Advances false claims related to the technical eligibility requirements for current political candidates and sitting elected government officials to serve in office

    ●      Encourages others to interfere with democratic processes

    ●      Contains hacked information, the disclosure of which may interfere with democratic processes

    In addition, YouTube’s systems are designed to limit the spread of borderline content and harmful misinformation. Today, consumption of borderline content that comes from its recommendations is significantly below 1% globally.

    Supporting fact-checking initiatives

    The Google News Initiative (GNI) supports Meedan’s #FactsFirstPH, a coalition of more than 100 groups, including news organizations such as Rappler, civil society organizations, business groups, faith-based communities, research groups, and legal organizations to fight misinformation ahead of the Philippine elections. The GNI has also partnered with the University of the Philippines (UP) to launch a journalist training series and provided support to tsek.ph, a collaborative fact-checking project led by UP. 

    Investing in media literacy programs 

    Google has been investing in and supporting local media literacy programs to teach people how to identify trusted information. These include the Asian Institute of Journalism and Communication’s “a day in the life” video series and training for news literacy, and CANVAS’ #YOUTHink magazine. Google.org also made a grant of $1.5 million to help the ASEAN Foundation expand media literacy education in ASEAN member communities including the Philippines. The ASEAN Foundation has also developed a digital literacy comic book available in Filipino.

    “Fighting misinformation is important to Google and it takes the whole of society working together to address it. We will continue to forge meaningful partnerships with the media and community groups to help people access the right information so they can make an informed vote in the upcoming elections,” said Irene Jay Liu, Google APAC News Lab Lead.

    “Part of COMELEC’s mission is to empower voters with accurate, relevant and timely information. We laud Google for taking the important steps in helping Filipinos access authoritative information that is essential for an informed electorate,” said James Jimenez, Commissions on Elections Director for Education and Information.

  • Your Guide to Must-Try Pizzas in Manila This 2022

    The debate on what makes a good pizza still stands. What really makes it worth trying? There are three important elements of a pizza but for me, the crust plays an important role as it’s the foundation of a pizza. It has to be thick enough to hold the toppings well, has a slight crunch but is also chewy, and of course, it has to be tasty even as is. There are a bunch of places where you can get a good slice of pizza in the metro but it can get overwhelming at times. Here, we list down pizzas that’s worth checking out this year:

    Backyard Pugon

    Backyard Pugon 1
    Backyard Pugon 2

    Started as a passion project in his backyard (hence, the name), Backyard Pugon churns out sourdough pizza in small batches. He is after all a one-man team! There are six kinds of pizzas and get this, each of them has been calorie- and macro-counted which is perfect for those who are looking to indulge while sticking to their diet. Aside from pizza-making, taco pockets and char-grilled kebabs are also available. He even asks his customers for topping ideas for future flavors at times.

I’ve tried a number of pizza places in Manila but Crosta still has my heart. Crosta only has one goal and that’s to make pizza great again! They offer quality pies with quirky names like Pepperonely, Pork You, and Everyday We Trufflin’. I remember they only had less than 10 on their menu when I first encountered them but now they have grown to 50 pies to choose from, with Vegan options available.

They’re one of the pizza places in the metro that specializes in Detroit-style with a pizza crust that’s crispy on the outside and thick and fluffy on the inside. They have classic flavors like the OG Red and Pep but they also have more unique flavors like The Russian and Piña Express. Who says pineapple doesn’t belong in pizzas?! Their offerings are on the pricey side though, ranging from P585 to P2,500.
