This is in light of recent incidents in Davao del Norte, where subscribers were scammed by persons misrepresenting themselves as PLDT personnel.

“We would like to remind our subscribers to be vigilant against various scams, and to report suspicious incidents to local authorities in their area,” said Alan Abrina, Customer Service South Mindanao Area Head at PLDT, adding that PLDT is also collaborating with the Philippine National Police (PNP) in Davao Region and Davao City to help keep its customers safe from scammers.

PLDT also reminded subscribers that PLDT field technicians or sales personnel would not recover their modems without replacing them first.

Persons who would like to report such incidents can also do so via PLDT’s Hotline 164 – just call “164” on any landline or mobile phone, regardless of network.

When reporting incidents such as cable breakage or other incidents, customers are requested to provide the following information: a brief description of the incident, date and time of discovery, and exact location (barangay, town/city, province), and their name and contact details (mobile or landline number, email address). A landmark or photo indicating the place of incident will also be helpful. Other relevant information may be asked when necessary, in the course of the investigation.  

“By working together, we can all help improve PLDT’s services as well as keep our communities safe from accidents that may be caused by low-hanging wires or open or broken manhole covers,” said Cathy Yang, FVP and Group Corporate Communications Head at PLDT.

These initiatives are part of PLDT’s continuing efforts to further enhance the quality of customer experience. PLDT operates the country’s most extensive fiber infrastructure, which spanned over 1.1 million kilometers as of end-2023. This fiber infrastructure also supports Smart’s mobile network.

The post Exciting Updates from Cebu Pacific for CDO travelers [MAY 2024] appeared first on Iligan Daily.

Organized by the DBS officers and headed by their President, Gem Tadefa, the virtual hangout was a  resounding success. Over 70 people joined the fun and shared their insights about love and relationships  in the digital age. 

“We initiated the DBS Hangout tradition amid the pandemic to maintain connections with our members.  After the pandemic, it evolved into a means of fostering and fortifying relationships with other blogging  communities. The hangouts involve casual discussions on various topics and sharing stories in a virtual  setting,” Gem Tadefa said.

“The DBS Hangout “Love in the Digital Era: Valentine’s Then and Now” marks our first Valentine’s Day  special since 2020, and it’s a remarkable, highly engaging event. It’s puzzling why we haven’t organized  such specials before, but it has proven to be the most entertaining hangout to date. Despite the diverse  backgrounds of attendees from eight different regions, we all find common ground in one universal  language—love,” he added. 

The event was graced by different blogging communities across the country, including the Bulacan  Bloggers, CDO Bloggers, Iligan Bloggers Society, Iloilo Bloggers, Inc., Negrense Bloggers, Palawan Bloggers,  and SOX Bloggers. 

Attendees engaged in lively discussions exploring the differences between love in past generations and  the digital age. Topics ranged from long-distance relationships to expressing love through technology and  love languages. Speakers and attendees shared personal experiences, opinions, and insights, promoting a  lively exchange of ideas. The engaging and entertaining Michael Carbon, also known as Manay, hosted the  hangout and ensured that attendees remained captivated throughout the session. 

Apart from the blogging communities, the virtual hangout was graced by representatives from Davao  Bloggers’ partner brands, who shared a bit about their agencies and what’s new in their industry. Jainy  Carilla of DM&A Co. told everyone to look forward as their agency has several campaigns in 2024. Kim  Vargas of Metrobank organized a fun trivia game about Valentine’s Day and highlighted Metrobank’s  reliability for banking needs. Ripple8’s Julius Macalagay and Michelle Opple introduced their agency and 

its awards and engaged attendees with a mini-quiz. Jarren Mateo and Erwin Colcol showcased Cebu Pacific  as a trusted airline and generously gave away two roundtrip tickets to any domestic destination in the  Philippines. 

As the Co-Presentor of the virtual hangout, foodpanda gave everyone ₱500 foodpanda gift vouchers. They  currently have a promo where you can get 200PHP off for selected foodpanda food merchants. Just enter  the code PANDA. T&Cs apply. 

DBS President Gem Tadefa highlights that there will be more events for everyone this year. “The Valentine’s  Day special hangout won’t be the last. There will be more, and they will only get better and bigger. We are  working on something exciting, a project I cannot disclose. Content creators should stay tuned.” 

The Davao Bloggers Society extends heartfelt gratitude to all its members, fellow blogging communities,  and partner brands for their support and participation. With more exciting events in the pipeline, DBS  looks forward to fostering further engagement and collaboration.

The exhibition, titled “Anyam Hablun 2023”, will take place at The Gallery, 2^nd floor, Greenbelt Mall 5, Makati City on May 25-27, 2023, and will feature an array of cultural products, including traditional weaves, handmade crafts, and delicious food, all created by the women entrepreneurs.

This event provides an opportunity for women from Sulu to come together and celebrate and promote their beautiful cultural heritage. It also serves as a platform for them to showcase their talent and ingenuity to a broader market.

“We are thrilled to be able to share our cultural products with the larger audience in Metro Manila,” said Ms. Rosemain Abduraji, Executive Director of Tumikang Sama-Sama Inc., who is working directly with Accelerate Sulu women. “We hope that this event will promote a better understanding and appreciation of our colourful cultural heritage.”

The exhibition will also feature live music and dance performances, and artisan demonstrations providing visitors with an immersive Tausug cultural experience.

“We invite everyone to join us for a day of celebration and learning,” added Ms. Abduraji. “This event is not only about highlighting our products but also a manifestation of gradual development in Sulu that is enabled by improved stability.”

The trade expo is part of a project called Accelerate Women’s Entrepreneurship for Peace and Prosperity in Sulu or Accelerate Sulu which provides economic opportunities to marginalized women in Sulu including former combatants, wives, and family members of former combatants, those affected by violent extremism, either directly as victims of violence, or family members of those involved in extremist groups. The project supports capacity development on product enhancement, packaging, and access to the market. In addition, the project aims to build a stronger social entrepreneurship network among women. 

Accelerate Sulu is supported by the Australian Government and co-implemented by Tumikang Sama-Sama Inc. (TSS), the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD), and The Asia Foundation (TAF).

In line with the celebration of National Women’s Month, the Iligan Chamber of Commerce and Industry Foundation Incorporation (ICCIFI) opened the 2023 Trade Fair, March 3, at Robinsons Place atrium.

The trade fair features the best products of 50 micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the city, ranging from processed food, gifts, and housewares to fashion accessories, beverages, home style and living, and health and organic products.

ICCIFI President Reggie Punongbayan said the event is an opportunity for businesses, entrepreneurs, and community members to come together and showcase their products, services, and ideas.

“Iligan City is always been known for its rich culture and history. This event is a testament to the vibrancy and diversity of our community. As we explore the different exhibits and stalls, we see the ingenuity and creativity of our local businesses, entrepreneurs, and the students, who are also participating in this event,” she said.

Meanwhile, Department of Labor and Employment Lanao del Norte OIC Provincial Head Lawyer Safrali Cabili said the trade fair is a big accomplishment for the Iligan Chamber because it is one way of showcasing local products. “Nowadays, not all of us would prefer an imported product, and I think this is the start of patronizing our own,” he said.

Moreover, the chairperson of the Committee on Trade and Commerce Industry, City Councilor Marlene Young, extended her full support to the business community.

“Being the chairperson of the Committee of Trade and Commerce Industry, we would like to assure you that we will do our best to put our efforts, especially in my office, to pass the possible resolutions and ordinances to improve the life of our business owners in Iligan,” she said.

The MSMEs will continue to display their products until March 8. Other activities lined up include financial literacy, a cultural show, a women’s success story forum, and Kapehan sa Iligan Chamber. (CEC/PIA-10/Lanao del Norte)

Through a community service program called “Communicate in English with Us,” teachers learned how to use information and communications technology (ICT) in differentiated instruction and project-based learning to promote inclusive education.

Merciditha Alicando, chair of the English department at MSU-IIT, said the participants learned how to use QR codes and were shown how to use ICT in the classroom. She then reminded the teachers that they should be excited about teaching their students, show them real things, and encourage them to do whatever they want in life.

Eko Purwanti, dean of UMY’s Faculty of Language and Education, said that their partnership with MSU-IIT was important because it gave teachers the tools to help their students learn more.

“Having this partnership, we can provide better opportunities for teachers to empower themselves. By empowering our students with English competencies, we believe that students can broaden their knowledge,” she said.

Participants of the program shared the challenges that they experienced in teaching. With the program, they have gained skills in preparing learning materials and learned strategies for teaching their lessons interactively.

Moreover, Mae Camañan, an English teacher from Tubaran National High School (TNHS) in Barangay Mandulog, is thankful for the program as it helped her improve her ways of teaching.

“The program really gives me a chance to improve myself in the way I teach English, especially in the form of macro skills. It really gives me a guide on how to motivate my students on handling the plan,” she said.

On the other hand, Spencer Tano of TNHS said he learned the importance of using differentiated instructions (DI) in delivering lessons based on students’ learning styles. (AAA/PIA-10/Lanao del Norte)
