Doggo Lends a Helping Paw to Pawssion Project

Dogs are not only man’s best friend, but a source of pure happiness and companionship to most owners. As a way of giving back to the fur community and to champion a kinder world for people and animals, dog care brand Doggo recently conducted a corporate social responsibility initiative in cooperation with Pawssion Project, an organization that pushes for the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of animals in need.

This initiative is in line with Doggo’s commitment to provide fur parents with quality dog products, and to help with the wellbeing of the animal community. The cause was also supported by Purretty, a company that focuses on cat care essentials. Basic needs such as dog treats, dog cleaning products, cat litter products, and a sponsored spay and neuter drive were all included in the brands’ contribution to the animal-friendly cause.

Small step for a bigger change

As the country is seeing a dramatic rise of homeless cats and dogs, Doggo is helping to reduce the number of stray and neglected pets. One of the highlights of the project was the sponsored spay and neuter drive for in-house dogs at Pawssion Project and other cats and dogs in the area, where a total of 50 cats and dogs were sterilized.

The spay and neuter initiative is a priority for Pawssion Project. This is one of their missions in campaigning for responsible pet ownership and improvement of animal wellbeing. Pawssion Project is a non-profit organization that provides shelter to neglected animals with their goal to decrease the number of unwanted animals that will eventually end up in animal shelters. Being an organization that receives hundreds of reports about stray dogs and cats, Doggo spearheaded this initiative to assist Pawssion Project in their rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of stray cats and dogs in the country.

“It is our mission to rescue these dogs who can’t protect themselves.” says Pawssion Project founder Malou Perez. “We want to foster a kinder environment for these animals through different initiatives that are rooted in our organization’s care for animals. We also hope that through these projects, we can educate pet owners on their responsibilities, and inform the masses that animals shouldn’t be neglected in the streets.”

It’s raining cats and dogs freebies

The giving spirit is in the air as the furry friends were showered with donations from Doggo. Doggo shared 15 gallons of Doggo shampoo and 50 packs of Doggo Chewy Bones for the dogs’ bathing and nutritional needs. The cats were also not left out with goodies as Purretty handed out an estimated 80 bags of Purretty Cat Litter for their hygiene essentials.

Doggo also welcomed Macky and Moo, a dog and a cat, into their family to show the strong partnership between Doggo and Pawssion Project to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome abused and abandoned animals.

A helping paw-tner

With Pawssion Project rescuing over 500 dogs around the country, they have urged pet lovers and rescuers to take action in adopting these animals in need of a home. Doggo shows its continued support in the adoption drives held by Pawssion Project with a Doggo Starter Kit pack. The pack includes two Doggo shampoos, one Doggo conditioner, one cleaning brush, and a Doggo treat, completing the essentials needed by a new paw parent.

“We are looking forward to more projects with Pawssion Project,” says Doggo CEO Kurt Cheng. “It is our commitment to help in the improvement of the wellbeing of these animals in need. Pawssion Project is a dedicated and passionate partner that keeps us inspired to help out pet owners and their fur babies through our quality products.”

For donations to Pawssion Project, interested individuals can visit Pawssion Project Donation. Doggo products are available at Doggo House BGC, GrabMart, Pet Express, and Doggo’s official store on Shopee and Lazada.

Love, Bonito launches its latest Kids Collection and First-ever Children’s Swimwear

This summer, Love Bonito launches its newest Kids collection using new fabrication coupled with playful and abstract print motifs. The abstract prints range from gentle, majestic underwater creatures to skateboards and playthings, designed to facilitate engagement between parents and children through conversations and imaginative play. The brand will also be introducing swimwear for kids for the first time, allowing moms and their little ones to twin even by the pool.

[Left to Right] Henri Relaxed Unisex T-Shirt in Summer Playthings (Daffodil) and Korie Elastic Drawstring Shorts in Summer Playthings (White); Elara Double Strap Low Back Swimsuit in Summer Playthings (White); Elara Double Strap Low Back Swimsuit and Azel Unisex Button Down Shirt in Summer Playthings (Daffodil); Azel Unisex Button Down Shirt in Summer Playthings (White) and Korie Elastic Drawstring Shorts in Summer Playthings (Yellow)

Research suggests that unlike adults, children are able to keep information separate from their senses and may therefore perceive the visual world differently. As such, headlining this collection is the brand’s very own in-house print, Summer Playthings. The prints feature abstract shapes, forms and lines that can be interpreted in infinite ways through a child’s imagination.

Is the motif a whale or a skateboard, a stingray or a kite? For their little souls, anything is possible. This collection aims to evoke different perspectives, spark curiosity, encourage parent-child bonding through the sharing of different viewpoints, in the hope for adults to rediscover the world through a child’s eyes.

Azel Unisex Button Down Shirt in Summer Playthings (White); Elia Ruched Flare Dress in Summer Playthings (White);

Moreover, we recognise that moms are constantly on the lookout for children’s apparel that are not only chic, but also comfortable and easy-to-wear. For this Kids collection, we have introduced two new materials, printed rayon and drapey summer denim, both of which are light and breathable to ensure maximum comfort for hotter days. Being more absorbent than cotton, rayon is ideal for humid climates since it absorbs moisture from the skin. As for our summer denim, it is made of a lighter fabric which feels cool and gentle to the skin, keeping the body more comfortable and allowing the skin to breathe.

Elim Sqaure Neck A-line Top in Summer Playthings (Daffodil) and Ivana Denim Elastic Skirt in Light Denim Washed; Presley Denim Relaxed Romper in Medium Denim Washed; Zambi Unisex Round Neck Muscle Tee in Summer Playthings (White)

Moms can also look forward to twinning pieces, including swimwear, launched for the first time in a Kids collection, and start planning for fun-filled family days under the sun!

Love, Bonito’s Kids collection is sold online from 22 June 2022 at https://www.lovebonito.com/intl.

How Fatherhood Pushes These Dads For The Better

Fathers provide, protect, and persevere at home and at work. In celebration of Father’s Day, three fathers from Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, share how fatherhood has allowed them to become better versions of themselves, including at the workplace.

Martin: Evolving as a Leader and as a Father

Shopee Philippines Director Martin Yu has been leading teams to help businesses shift online through Shopee since 2017 and has seen the platform grow. As a father of two young boys, Martin has observed a common aspect between being a father and a leader that he now applies every day: the need to evolve. “When Shopee started in the Philippines, I had to be more of a coach, but as we grew and built up a larger team, I had to adjust my leadership style. I tried to foster a culture where my team is encouraged to speak up and contribute their ideas and initiatives. Now, my role is to ensure these align with our bigger business objectives.”

As a Father, Martin is mindful of how fast his sons are growing up and how he needs to similarly adapt his parenting style to keep up with their changing needs. “I encourage my children to try new things and try to be their buddy. I talk to my sons like we are friends now because they are developing their interests, and I want to encourage them to discover who they want to be in this fast-changing world. Looking ahead, I know I must adapt even more as they become teenagers and young adults.”

Martin’s ultimate hope is that his work will inspire his kids to pursue impactful careers. “My sons are still young, but I think it’s never too early to teach them the value of meaningful work that significantly impacts society and empowers them to pursue a career path that offers that opportunity.”

Michael: Building more Meaningful Relationships

Before coming to work for Shopee Xpress as a partner rider two years ago, Michael worked as an overseas Filipino worker in Taiwan, just like his father. Growing up, he found it difficult to form a solid connection with his father since their relationship mainly consisted of online video calls. When Michael became a father four years ago, he knew he wanted to be a more present figure in his daughter’s life.

As a Shopee Xpress partner rider, not only is Michael able to provide for his family’s needs, but he can also play a more active role in the lives of his two children, aged two and four. “Bago nagsimula ang pandemya, balak ko talaga bumalik sa Taiwan para masuportahan ko ang aking pamilya. Nagpapasalamat ako nang lubos na nakakauwi ako sa aking mga anak araw-araw dahil sa aking trabaho bilang Shopee Xpress rider. Dahil dito, mas nagkakaroon ng meaning ang aking buhay at trabaho.” (Before the pandemic, I planned to return to Taiwan to continue providing for my family. I am grateful that my job as a Shopee Xpress partner rider allows me to come home to my children everyday. Being able to play an active role in their lives has given my life and my job more meaning and purpose.)

One of the things Michael is most proud of in life, is being a present father in the lives of his children. “Ang pinakamalaking inspirasyon ko sa buhay ay ang aking mga anak. Ipinagmamalaki ko na natutupad ko ang aking tungkulin bilang tatay sa kanilang buhay.” (My children are my biggest inspiration in life. It is very meaningful for me that I now get to fulfill my role as a father in a better way.)

Mark: Giving His Best as a Father and a Seller

Since becoming a father, Mark has learned what it truly means to work hard and persevere. He nearly lost his daughter nine years ago to biliary atresia, a rare condition that affected her liver and required her to undergo an expensive procedure abroad. By selling customized pillows on Shopee’s platform, Mark has been able to provide for his family’s needs, including his daughter’s regular medication.

As a father and a seller, Mark said, “Nine years ago, I fought to become a father, and I continue to fight for my family every day. When I started my online business, I struggled to get orders, but I persevered and gave my all for them. Selling through Shopee has allowed my family to reach many milestones like building a home and a warehouse. Everything I do, whether as a father or a business owner, is driven by my love for my wife and daughters. Till today, I continue to give my best every day, not just for my family, but also for my customers.”

By embracing their roles as fathers, Martin, Michael, and Mark have come to understand better how to serve their customers and their teams in their respective roles as employees of Shopee and partners of Shopee Xpress. Their meaningful careers have enabled them to make a difference in the lives of others – both at home and in the workplace.

Better than Best: Friends Turned Business Partners Chari & Rose’s Pandemic Boom & Beyond

COVID-19 paved way for a new normal. Streets quiet, malls closed, with people afraid of leaving their homes prompting the boom in online shopping. The indoors provided solace and its interface is digital. This was the formula that kickstarted Rose and Chari’s ventures. “The pandemic was the great equalizer. It gave new opportunities to those whose eyes are constantly seeking,” said the company’s leading Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Rose Tolentino. While many slowed down, the duo went the opposite direction and launched not just one but multiple brands from personal and men’s care to food.

“2020 was the year. We felt the consumerist landscape was changing so to adapt was imperative for survival,” said Rose. “We were fueled to see the opportunity lying ahead so we really did our best, and have been continuing to do so. We felt it would be an injustice to God not to do well. That was really our motivation and push,” said Chari.

OMO! White

OMO! White, the company’s first successful brand scaled when it closed a partnership with the country’s biggest household cosmetic company, Ever Bilena Cosmetics Inc (EBCI). What once was a Korean-inspired product line is now manufactured in Korea. “The best of korean technology with the Filipino skin in mind,” Creative Chief Officer (CCO) Chari Trinidad-Mendoza, says. OMO! White is now in nearly 2,000 doors nationwide in all leading beauty & department stores.

Building a team that runs 100% online, the duo found the system worked to the advantage of their millennial team. No longer bound by the regular ‘8-5’ office demands meant clockwork capacity for their members’ optimum hours. “You know creativity can spring at 3 A.M. I guess you can call it ‘structured flow,’ says Rose.

Oh Crop!

Oh Crop! Is an adlai brand to serve the ballooning health-conscious consumer market. It is as an alternative to the Filipinos staple white rice, packed with nutrients, low in glycemic-index (GI) and high in fiber. Partnering with celebrity restaurateur Marvin Agustin, the company has hectares of personally-owned and contracted land whilst pioneering the first adlai-financing system with UBX and multiple LGUs to further encourage sustainable livelihood for their partner farmers. The brand is currently available at The Marketplace under the Robinsons Retail Group.

Rosie Posie

Halal-certified with a core philosophy of ‘beauty is kindness,’ Rosie Posie is a 4-step skincare kit made specifically for the Filipino women in Visayas and Mindanao. it is a brand promoting gentle and natural ingredients that aims to take care of you, while you take care of the Earth. The brand is available in Rose Pharmacy in Cebu, Iloilo and Bacolod.

Alike

Aside from their products in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) category, the ladies own the media company Alike Media. Similar to OMO! White, Alike was founded before the pandemic but its pivotal year was in 2020. An originally digital media company, expanded into an omni-channel that now has both digital and print. They were ranked as part of the top 10 digital media companies in the country.

Best friends since they were 10 the two are now in their 30s. Two decades of friendship have evolved and formed them, but never separated. The pandemic taught them simplicity, grit, but above all – what truly is ‘essential.’

Respect. Trust. Dreams. Love.

Dads, and men in general, can be the hardest to shop gifts for. This time, there’s no need to secretly ask Ma what to give Pops this Father’s Day. Shangri-La Plaza rounds up all the fun things to buy for and do with the special guy on his special day—and for the rest of June. Bring the dads (and all the best boys!) out as Shang celebrates Men’s Month!

Add flavor to his mornings with Nespresso. Is Dad the type to have his cup of joe as he reads the paper first thing in the morning? Head over to the Nespresso Pop-Up Store to bring the ultimate café experience into his home. Mall guests can check out its range of coffee machines like the handy Essenzo Mini and the Creatista Plus for barista-level brews.

At the store, coffee specialists can also offer complimentary coffee tastings so Dad can explore the store’s World Explorations Espressos that feature unique flavors like Paris’ mild and balanced taste, Rio de Janeiro’s herbal and spicy aroma, and Istanbul’s roasted and fruity beans.

Pamper him, for a change. Pa has spent his entire life working to provide for the family. He has even pampered his kids, sometimes to a fault. But that’s just how his love is, it’s overflowing. Why not turn the tables around and treat him to a day of loving? Get him all pampered up at Bruno’s Barbers. This beloved barbershop has grooming services such as deep cleansing facial and foot spa and pedicure cleaning. There’s also Bowman Bear Barbershop & Spa which offers massage services that will surely complete Dad’s day out.

Suit him up. Every gentleman needs a good well-fitting suit in his wardrobe, so he’s prepared for any special occasion. Get him a set expertly created by T.M. Lewin. This British retailer has more than 100 years of tailoring experience, making it the go-to place for a reliable suit. Feel the need to add a pop of color to dad’s wardrobe? Known for its Parisian touch, Daniel Hechter has racing suits and everyday travel shirts in a variety of colors, while Marks & Spencer completes the look with its dapper collection of cufflinks, belts, and ties.

Take him to an acoustic show on Father’s Day. It might have been a long while since Pops enjoyed music live. Bond with him and catch a new Live At The Shang performance featuring well-renowned acoustic crooner Paolo Santos on June 19, 6PM at the Grand Atrium. The singer rose to fame for his rendition of Moonlight Over Paris. Since then, he has released albums like Back to Basics and The Anthology, and performed in various stages locally and internationally.

Let him feast like a king. Nothing says I love you better than treating the big guy to an unforgettable meal. This month, make sure he gets good food and quality time, of course. Take him to Arya Persian Restaurant which offers an array of Persian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern dishes. Aside from their famous kebabs, make sure to get the Koobideh platter that combines chicken, beef, and lamb. Brotzeit, which apart from serving fresh draft beer, offers Platten Platters or what people refer to as the heart and soul of traditional German dining culture. Their bestseller Wunderplatte has oven roasted chicken, Berner sausages, honey Bavarian ribs, crispy pork knuckles and four side dishes.

Cafe Lyon has tummy-filling rice and pasta meals, including various Filipino brekky plates, spicy longganisa pasta, and roast beef belly. If dad likes to celebrate with a bottle of wine, head over to Wine Story and choose from their collection of rare vintages, which includes the 1985 Chateau Margaux and the 1985 Haut Brion. Another option is the go-to wine place Titania which carries various labels from Europe, Latin America, and Australia.

Help him build his man cave. Time to make his mancave dreams come true, and take the necessary steps to create a space for him to wind down, watch sports, play games, and enjoy their favorite hobbies. Cap off Men’s Month by checking out all the home lifestyle spaces that are set up on June 20 to 29 at the Grand Atrium. With the help of Rustan’s Department Store, Dads and other men can get ideas on how they can create their very own gadget-filled workstation, gaming room, or walk-in closets. There are also cars on display, in case he’s considering getting a new ride.

If dad is into DIY projects, take him to Shangri-La Plaza’s True Value, which has the latest materials and power tools he’ll need.This trusty hardware also carries the latest smart gadgets and outdoor living essentials to upgrade his mancave and set up his own relaxing space in the garden.

For being our first (and forever!) hero, mentor, and friend, Dad surely deserves all the love and appreciation. Make him feel like he’s truly the rockstar of our life with all the thoughtful Men’s Month activities at the Shang.
