Five ways the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G and Galaxy A23 5G can help you succeed in today’s workplace


In recent years, the workplace as we know it has changed fundamentally as a result of technological, environmental, and societal factors. The pandemic, for instance, has inevitably compelled companies to adopt work-from-anywhere arrangements and hybrid or virtual offices. Likewise, modern workplaces have also implemented more flexible work schedules to accommodate the newest generation of employees—the Gen Z—who has never known a time before the internet. As digital natives, this young breed of professionals can easily adapt to a virtual setup, accomplishing tasks and interacting with co-workers online.

With the workplace rapidly evolving, our smartphones play a more crucial role than ever. We need to be able to rely on them for connectivity, efficiency, and performance as we take on the demands of our day-to-day jobs from virtually anywhere.

Samsung understands that young professionals rely heavily on their smartphones to stay connected and be their most productive selves. With that, the brand has combined the latest and most efficient smartphone features in their new Galaxy A Series devices: the Galaxy A13 5G and  the Galaxy A23 5G so users can multitask, work hassle-free, and enjoy recreational moments through super smooth gaming and streaming.

Here are five ways these awesome 5G smartphones can help you succeed in today’s fast-paced world:
 

1. Less loading time = more productivity
As go-getters, we can’t afford to be weighed down by unreliable Wi-Fi connection. Good thing the Galaxy A13 5G and Galaxy A23 5G are both equipped with hyper-fast 5G connectivity. This means less loading time for web pages and apps, leading to efficiency and faster performance online. Living life as a digital nomad and juggling tasks even while out of town? These smartphones can be your companion as you work anywhere!
 

2. Store your files with ease
Another great thing about the Galaxy A13 5G and Galaxy A23 5G is their massive storage. While 128GB Internal Storage can already do wonders when it comes to saving your files, the memory of both phones is also expandable up to 1TB. This comes in handy whenever you have to save large conferencing apps, or huge presentations and documents, so you can keep them wherever you work.
 

3. Multitask and scroll away
Being able to multitask is an important skill to have, especially given our hectic schedules. Luckily, the Galaxy A13 5G and Galaxy A23 5G can help you do just that, as they deliver lag-free performance and can switch tabs and take on heavy apps without issues. And to make it more awesome, the Galaxy A23 5G boasts a RAM Plus feature that gives the smartphone up to 6GB additional RAM to provide a more seamless performance.


4. Keep going with all-day battery life
Multitask for hours on end with the Galaxy A13 5G and the Galaxy A23 5G's high-capacity 5000 mAh battery. This allows these smartphones to run for up to 40 hours without the need for constant recharging, ideal for work-from-anywhere arrangements. Whenever you do have to juice up, the smartphones are also equipped with fast charging capabilities—25W for the Galaxy A23 5G and 15W for the Galaxy A13 5G—so you can quickly pick up where you left off.


5. See content in awesome detail
Equally as important as the phone’s connectivity, battery, and performance is its display. Both the Galaxy A13 5G and Galaxy A23 5G are equipped with vivid, immersive screens to make sure you are able to appreciate all types of content in awesome detail. The Galaxy A13 5G boasts a 6.5” HD+ Infinity-V display, while the Galaxy A23 5G packs a 6.6” FHD+ Infinity-V display, guaranteeing smooth and uninterrupted viewing.

Achieve awesome goals in the workplace with an awesome 5G smartphone! Its reliability and strong connectivity will definitely strengthen the way today’s hustlers communicate and nurture a healthy and more productive working environment.

Samsung’s new AX32 Air Purifier is finally available online to keep homes safe and clean


Now that COVID-19 restrictions are easing up and wearing of face masks outdoors is already optional, a lot of people are starting to go out more often to make up for the time lost to the pandemic. Yet, the fact that COVID-19 is still here remains. It’s still important to stay cautious and be aware of the quality of air around. Keeping hands sanitized and social distancing can only do so much for people to stay safe. The next best protection? Keep air quality at home virus-free and clean with air purifiers.

Trillions of ultrafine pollutants build up in the air that everybody breathes, even indoors. They are everywhere every day. The dirt and dust in the room, pollen and allergens from plants, gases from cookstoves and heaters—these are invisible particles that decrease indoor air quality and can potentially harm one’s health.

That’s why it helps to have Samsung’s new AX32 Air Purifier, which keeps indoor air pure by removing ultrafine dust and reducing harmful bacteria and viruses with little to no effort. Young homeowners today invest in compact and stylish air purifiers such as this to have a functional home appliance that will fit their space and also increase productivity. After all, working from home and sprucing up a condo space feels way better when it’s guaranteed that there’s fresh, clean, and odor-free air around.

The Samsung AX32 Air Purifier has a multi-layered high-efficiency purification system for bigger spaces and can cover up to 41sqm area. It has a washable pre-filter that extracts larger house dust particles, an activated carbon deodorizer that removes harmful gases, and a dust collecting filter that captures up to 99.97% of ultrafine dust.




And these filters are easy to maintain. The washable pre-filter only needs periodic cleaning, and the deodorizer and dust-collecting filter are built-in so it’s easy to replace. Additionally, the unit is equipped with a filter alarm, with an alert icon that blinks when it’s time for a clean or change.

Doing air purity checks can also be instantly done with this home appliance. It has a 4-color indicator with a sensor which intuitively monitors and shows the level of air pollution at home, from low to high. It also has an Air Sensing Light, which immediately tells how clean the air is.

The new Samsung air purifier will also fit right at home with its compact and sleek design. It is available in the color sand beige, perfect for minimalist city dwellers and homeowners. Its cube-style shape also takes up less space and features smooth rounded corners, making it a practical choice for homes that sport modern interiors.

Lastly, this air purifier makes it possible to conveniently take care of one’s home anytime and anywhere because it is SmartThings-compatible. Just by connecting it to the SmartThings app, homeowners can remotely turn it on and off, check the air quality, and control other functions even before they get home. They can also set an operational timer in the app to save the air purifier’s energy consumption.

The new Samsung AX32 Air Purifier is now exclusively available online for only PHP 10,995. Visit samsung.com/ph/air-care/air-purifier/ to know more.

CELEBRATING TIBAY: Bear Brand Batang Matibay 2022 Winners exhibit resilience despite life’s greatest challenges



This year’s Balik Eskwela has given new hope to our young learders in the midst of the uncertainties brought by the pandemic. As we continue to maneuver through the new normal, we also need to keep our young learners inspired and encouraged to dream big and to build a good foundation to secure a better future for them and their families.

Most Filipino families—regardless of social standing—believe that education plays a vital role in a person’s success. That’s why this year’s Balik Eskwela is different and more important for many parents and students. As young learners transition back to the new normal after overcoming the uncertainties and difficulties brought by the pandemic, Bear Brand is sparing no effort to inspire and encourage children to dream big and secure a better future for them and their families.




Recognizing exceptional students in the Philippines
Although every student made sacrifices and experienced difficulties in their studies over the past year, some kids faced harder challenges due to their everyday living situation. However, despite these obstacles, they have displayed their eagerness to learn and to overcome life’s adversities. Bear Brand has been honoring the strength and resilience of these young people since 2018 through the Batang Matibay Awards. Last October 27, the 2022 Batang Matibay Awards was held in Screening Room 1, Cinema Complex of Estancia Mall, Pasig.

In partnership with the Department of Education, Bear Brand started the Batang Matibay Awards to recognize students who exhibited “tibay” in learning both in school and in life. This means not only do they show excellence in academics, but also the community and their families. Every Year, Bear Brand and DepEd call for nationwide nominations of ten Batang Matibay public school students from grades 5-6 who can serve as role models and inspirations to their families, school, and community.


2022 Batang Matibay Awardees
Bear Brand continues its commitment to building a generation of Batang Matibay by announcing this year’s Batang Matibay awardees. All of the 10 Batang Matibay awardees showed exemplary courage and strength to thrive despite their struggles.


4 Batang Matibay Awardees who showcased how to be a Batang Matibay


One of the awardees is Jerald Pelonita from Guihulngan, Negros Oriental. Despite being born without arms, he rose above his peers and was hailed as Champion for the Division level National Art Contest. He displayed commendable skill in drawing and painting using his foot.

Cryzon Jay Ambinang belongs to the Manobo tribe who lives in a secluded area in a mountainside in North Cotabato. He walks more than 2 hours to get to one of DepEd’s last mile schools. Despite his own personal struggles, he excels in school and extracurricular activities, which includes being Vice President of SPG in their school that leads several projects in their school. One of those is the distribution of modules in his community and organizing feeding program for the Manobos.

Mark John Alayon from Roxas, Capiz is a model student despite his financial difficulties. His mother is a cancer patient while his father works as a construction worker. Even though the everyday struggles torment his young heart, he excels in school and is consistently chosen as a homeroom officer in class. He also joins programs sponsored by his school or barangay Mark John does all these while also helping his father raise livestock, plant vegetables, do household chores, taking care of his mother, and studying.

What all the awardees have in common is the lifelong learnings that are ingrained in them at their young age. Bear Brand wants to nurture their tibay ng isip, tibay ng katawan, and tibay ng kalooban and help them secure a better future by recognizing their efforts. In addition, with every glass of Bear Brand Powdered Milk, the awardees are provided with a holistic, Tibay Nutrition that will keep them strong while facing life’s challenges.
