Crowd Store Finder : A website for locating nearby open stores

Crowd Store Finder

A website launched for locating nearby open stores,
pharmacies during quarantine period 



MARCH 25, 2020 - As most establishments in the Philippines close due to the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) making it both hard and risky to go out to buy goods, a website is launched to help locate those that are still open.

Called ‘Crowd Store Finder’, the website works like Waze or Google Maps that scans through the user’s neighborhood to find stores, banks, pharmacies, and remittance centers that remain operational.


Under government guidelines, only establishments selling basic commodities are allowed to open during the quarantine period. This is to prevent people from staying outdoors that increases their risk of catching COVID-19.

Aside from knowing the open establishments, users can also chat with their neighbors who are currently using the website to ask questions and seek further assistance.

Crowd Store Finder’ relies on information shared by volunteers from Good Vibes Digital PH, a group organized by Trinmar Boado, winner of the Clash of Codes competition at Multisys Technologies in 2019.

Boado, who works at the Department of Science and Technology’s Metals Industry Research and Development Center (DOST-MIRDC), said more than 100 volunteers are coordinating safely from their own homes.





“This technology reminds us that sharing of info does not just save the time of other people but also their lives,” shared the IT expert.

To use the website, visit bit.ly/CrowdStoreFinder on any mobile, tablet or computer devices. Follow Crowd Store Finder on Facebook at fb.com/CrowdStoreFinder.

An Evening With 98° - The Philippine Tour 2020

An Evening With 98° 

- The Philippine Tour 2020



Pop/R&B vocal group 98 Degrees have announced that the quartet of Nick and Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons, and Justin Jeffre, will be bringing their greatest hits to the Philippines dubbed as "An Evening with 98 Degrees" The Philippine Tour 2020."



In contrast to many of their contemporaries, 98 Degrees were founded independently before they signed a recording contract with Motown Records in 1997. Their debut album also arrived that year, featuring their first top twenty single, “Invisible Man.” Touring extensively to build their cachet and eventually migrating to Universal Records, the foursome released an impressive arsenal of successful albums (98 Degrees and Rising, This Christmas, Revelation) and radio hits (“Because of You,” “The Hardest Thing,” “This Gift,” “My Everything,” “Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche),” and “Thank God I Found You,” a collaboration with Mariah Carey and Joe that would propel them to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 2000)


How about you, What is your favorite 98° song???

All told, 98 Degrees’ album sales have exceeded ten million units internationally.

In 2002, the group went on hiatus, during which its members pursued a wide array of solo projects – musical and otherwise. A decade after putting the 98 Degrees banner into semi-retirement, the quartet announced in 2012 they would be recording their fifth studio album and began touring again. 

In February 2020, Big Hot Events Management brings An Evening with 98 Degrees the Philippine Tour and is staged to perform at the following:

February 16, 2020 SMX Convention Center Davao 

February 19, 2020 Waterfront Hotel & Casino Cebu City 

February 25, 2020 SM Mall of Asia Arena

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT WITH INEX ACTIVE 


PHILIPPINES, OCTOBER 2019 – A new line of workout gear, INEX ACTIVE, was launched last October 23, 2019 at the Mindful Movement Asia Pilates Studio in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig through an invigorating Pilates session headed by Mindful Movement Asia Pilates Studio General Manager Ken Colubio and Pilates coach Regina Del Rosario with INEX ACTIVE Founder and daughter of Senator Pia Cayetano, Maxine Sebastian and Managing Partner Juancho Palacios.

“INEX is short for inexorable which means unstoppable and relentless as we want the name itself to be empowering. We wanted the logo to mean something, so we chose the wolf and the moon. The wolf symbolizes personal power and all that is INEXorable in every one of us; the moon is a symbol of female strength. They say when the moon is full, women are in their highest point energetically. So, we’re hoping that by wearing INEX, women will be able to bring that feeling with them,” – according to Maxine Sebastian. 

Ms Earth 2015 Angela Ong

The event was also graced by notable personalities like Sen. Pia Cayetano, beauty queen-turned image consultant Abbygale Arenas-De Leon, Ms. Earth 2015 Angela Ong, model TV-host Kelly Misa to name a few; and they had the privilege to try and enjoy the newest INEX activewear styles. The seamless structure of INEX ACTIVE sportswear is mainly made up of nylon which is soft as silk. It is also breathable, durable and odor-inhibiting in which it wicks sweat from your skin to fabric’s surface where it can evaporate. They are available in the sweetest pastels to the most energizing neons. INEX ACTIVE is passionate about finding fresh ways for women to express themselves through their activewear and ultimately sharing the joy of an active lifestyle. They are big believers in self-acceptance and self-expression.

This is why they aim to provide a variety of styles that complement every body type and to encourage women expressing themselves and embrace what makes them unique. Another core values INEX ACTIVE want to share to their customers is “It’s Cool 2 Care”. They are committed to slowly but surely shifting to a more sustainable business model starting with their packaging options in which their customer can choose between their reusable pouches and their 100% compostable packaging.

Baliwagenews Travels: Guimaras Island Tour

Baliwagenews Travels
Guimaras Island Tour

Nagbyahe kami mula Cebu papuntang Iloilo. Unang kita ko pa lang ng SeatSale ng Philippine Airlines, nagbook na agad ako. Wala nang isip isip hahaha. Paano ba naman 784 pesos lang roundtrip ticket! Mag-iisip ka pa ba? Kaya isinama ko ang buong pamilya.

*Tip para makapag book ng murang airline ticket? - kapag nakita mo na super mura at seatsale na sa date na nakita mo, wag na mag-isip! I-book na agad... sa mga walang credit o debit card, pwede nmn payment via remittance centers o ang pinaka madali ay via 7/11 (7-eleven) stores. Screenshot everything and bayaran ang reference number.  Ganun lang ka easy, pag walang budget.... ngangaey hahaha sorry next seatsale na lang.

35 minutes lang ang byahe mula Cebu airport hanggang Iloilo airport. Maliit pero malinis ang airport ng Iloilo. Mula naman sa Iloilo City, pwedeng mag jeep o taxi hanggang sa Ortiz Wharf (kung saan sasakay ng ferry/boat papuntang Jordan wharf). Ang pamasahe sa ferry/boat ay 22 pesos para sa regular rate at 18 pesos para sa mga PWD at Senior Citizens. 15 to 20mins lang ay nasa Guimaras Island ka na! Wow! Ang lugar kung nasaan ang sweetest mango. Bakit at paano nila prinoprotektahan ang mga variety nila ng mangga? Malalaman mo sa vlog ko! Watch na dali, may fieldtrip dito at madami kayo matututunan!
