    Back-to-School Alert: National Book Store Invites People to Rediscover Passion with an Unconventional Ad

    National Book Store, a cherished Pinoy brand and trusted partner for generations of Filipinos, has fueled our love for literature and creativity ever since childhood. 

    As the new school year fast approaches, the brand released a heartwarming and mind-bending film that captivates audiences with a unique narrative about rediscovering passion, creativity, and love for learning.

    National Book Store film Passion poster

    Their newest film “Passion,” revolves around a seemingly ordinary mother with a secret that is anything but ordinary. 

    The film’s main turning point is when the mother, after seeing National Book Store’s diverse selection of sulit reads and bestselling books, is triggered to molt her human guise to reveal her true self.

    Watch the full film to witness her shocking transformation.

    This unexpected transformation symbolizes the constant internal conflict between personal passions and parental duties, resonating deeply with viewers of all ages. 

    As shown in the film, there’s only one place to help us rediscover our love for reading, creativity, and learning — and it’s National Book Store. 

    If you also want to rekindle your personal passions, or just planning to do your back-to-school shopping, you can head to any of the 240+ National Book Store branches nationwide. They have awesome deals and sulit bundles, lowest price finds from Best Buy, new and bestselling school supplies from trusted brands, and more!

    National Book Store is also revamping their Loyalty Program, Laking National. By signing up for free at lakingnational.com, you can get free cashback every time you shop with your Laking National QR! You may also use your Laking National QR when you shop at their online store here and at any of the official stores on Lazada, Shopee, TikTok, and Zalora. 

    Shopping at National Book Store has never been more exciting with these new rewards. And with the release of their film, it just proves that rediscovering our slumbering passions for reading, creativity, and learning at the place Filipinos hold close to their hearts for generations has never been more welcoming.

    Shopee Mall, the leading destination for authentic brands on Shopee, prioritizes user trust and satisfaction. Recognizing the growing importance of online shopping authenticity in the Philippines, Shopee Mall is implementing significant changes to its platform. These changes focus on providing users with an unparalleled shopping experience that guarantees product legitimacy and a seamless shopping journey.

    Shopee Mall

    Strengthened Customer Safeguards

    Shopee Mall has always been synonymous with authenticity. All products on the platform undergo rigorous verification to ensure they are 100% genuine. Now, Shopee Mall is going a step further by introducing a groundbreaking triple money-back guarantee. If a customer receives a counterfeit product, they will be reimbursed three times the value of their purchase. This industry-leading initiative underscores Shopee Mall’s commitment to user protection and sets a new standard for online brand authenticity in the Philippines.

    Shopee

    Shopee Mall has simplified and extended its return and refund policy. Users now have 15 days from the date of receipt to initiate a return, double the previous window. As long as the returned item meets the established Return Terms & Conditions, a full refund will be issued.

    Shopee Mall’s commitment extends to delivery as well. The platform’s Guaranteed Delivery program ensures orders are not canceled. In the rare instance of a cancellation, users will receive compensation vouchers. Additionally, the new Shopee On-Time Delivery feature offers voucher compensation for orders that exceed the estimated delivery timeframe.

    Upholding the Highest Brand Standards

    Shopee Mall takes a multifaceted approach to maintaining a trusted environment for genuine products. The platform enforces stringent measures to identify and eliminate unauthorized sellers and counterfeit goods.

    Since July 2023, Shopee Mall has witnessed a significant rise in seller applications, exceeding 1,000. However, only sellers who meet specific brand quality standards are granted access. These standards include possessing credible trademark registrations or authorization letters from authorized distributors.

    Shopee Mall’s commitment doesn’t end there. The platform continuously evaluates its existing brands and sellers to ensure they maintain compliance with its high quality benchmarks. To date, over 3,000 sellers are undergoing this evaluation process to guarantee a comprehensive selection of authentic products.

    For an extra layer of security, Shopee has launched the Brand Intellectual Property (IP) Portal. This one-stop platform safeguards the interests of both sellers and intellectual property owners. Sellers can leverage the portal to validate their brands’ IP rights and report suspected cases of IP infringement for investigation.

    Streamlined Shopping Experience

    Shopee Mall has revamped its user interface to provide a more intuitive and streamlined shopping experience. Users can effortlessly discover new arrivals, bestsellers, exciting deals, and personalized recommendations tailored to their preferences.

    The platform has also welcomed a wave of sought-after brands, including Nike Swim, Kerastase, Terranova, Paula’s Choice, and Supergoop! These exciting additions join hundreds of other popular brands already available on Shopee Mall. Identifying authorized sellers is easy – simply look for the Shopee Mall badge on each shop and product page.

  • Watsons Launches Naturals by Watsons’ Blue Beauty Range to Combat Ocean Plastic Waste

    In commemoration of Earth Day, Watsons, the leading health and beauty brand under AS Watson Group, proudly introduces the Naturals by Watsons’ Special Edition Blue Beauty range. This special collection, initially launched in Hong Kong, Thailand, and Taiwan markets, is now expanding to Malaysia, Singapore, and soon to the Philippines.

    Watsons Naturals

    The Plastic Predicament

    Every year, a staggering 14 million tons of plastic find their way into our oceans, equivalent to the weight of over 140,000 blue whales. With projections indicating that by 2050, the weight of plastics in the ocean will surpass that of fish, urgent action is needed to combat this crisis. Ocean-bound plastic, defined as abandoned plastic waste within 50km from shores where waste management is lacking, wreaks havoc on marine ecosystems, impacting at least 700 species and causing the deaths of 100 million marine animals annually.

    A Sustainable Solution

    Malina Ngai, CEO of AS Watson, underscores the far-reaching impacts of ocean-bound plastics and Watsons’ commitment to sustainability. The Naturals by Watsons’ Special Edition Blue Beauty range features bottles made from 100% recycled ocean-bound plastic, marking a significant milestone in their sustainability journey. Ngai emphasizes the importance of raising awareness and invites customers to join the movement in protecting our oceans and marine life. “Ocean-bound plastics have far-reaching impacts, not only on the ocean but also on our habitat. To raise awareness of ocean-bound plastic, Watsons has launched Naturals by Watsons’ Special Edition Blue Beauty range. It features bottles made of 100% recycled ocean-bound plastic, representing an important milestone in our ongoing efforts to promote sustainability. The new range encourages our customers to join us in protecting the ocean and marine life, inspiring them to love their skin while loving the planet.”

    The Blue Beauty Collection

    The Naturals by Watsons’ Special Edition Blue Beauty range includes shower gel, body lotion, shampoo, and conditioner, each formulated with over 94% natural origin ingredients. Crafted from 100% recycled ocean-bound plastic, these products offer customers the opportunity to actively contribute to the fight against plastic waste while indulging in sustainable personal care.

    Coming Soon to the Philippines

    Launching in Watsons Stores across the Philippines by mid-May, the Blue Beauty range offers clean beauty products devoid of 20 unwanted ingredients. Enriched with certified organic Algae sourced from Portugal, each formulation provides powerful results through natural ingredients with deep hydration benefits.

    Embrace Sustainable Living

    Ngai encourages consumers to make sustainable choices in their everyday lives, emphasizing the importance of small decisions in protecting our planet. With 9,700 Sustainable Choices products available, ranging from skincare to personal care, Watsons aims to make sustainable living more accessible.
