Hanabishi Appliances will open its first flagship store in top online shopping app Lazada this coming October 24, 2020. To celebrate the launch, it will be treating its customers to a 20% discount on its small appliances and 10% discount on its big appliances.

Pasumbal said that Hanabishi’s small and big appliances will be available in its LazMall store, including its current top-selling items like the hand mixer, digital microwave, electric oven, coffee maker, and air fryer.


Many customers are also buying our new products like UVC essentials and air purifiers,” she added.

Hanabishi is their kapartner not only in their homes but also in their businesses,” she said.

The COVID-19 pandemic’s wide-reaching and extraordinary effects particularly to public health and the medical field has, unfortunately, created other grave consequences that have come unnoticed. As focus, as of late, has been on the novel coronavirus, attention on other equally critical illnesses and diseases has seemingly taken a back seat.

 

Among these illnesses, the World Health Organization (WHO) identifies Tuberculosis or TB, Malaria, and HIV as the among the most serious. In fact, the WHO notes, TB claims 1.5 million lives a year, while NGO Frontline AID states that 38 million people live with HIV worldwide. Of this, 12.6 million or 33% have been unable to access HIV treatments during the pandemic induced lockdowns.

 

The impact of COVID-19 on HIV programs and patients

 

A report from UNAIDS reveals that one in four people living with HIV have reported problems with gaining access to important medications. Similarly, HIV programs are among those that have had disruptions in services, with up to 85% of existing programs affected based on a survey by The Global Fund, a partnership that mobilizes and invests funds to support programs towards AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

 

Of even greater concern, Frontline AIDS further observes, is how the coronavirus, alongside HIV and AIDS, has a greater impact on people who are already marginalized. Specifically, it is those most affected by HIV who will feel the brunt of the effects of the coronavirus, especially with how lockdowns and quarantines have made access to much-needed antiretroviral medicines, not to mention visits to hospitals and health centers, extremely difficult.

 

The importance of HIV protection and prevention

 

In light of the above situation, and in view of recent data from the DOH-Epidemiology Bureau that shows 2,818 newly-confirmed HIV-positive individuals from January to March of this year, protection from HIV is truly the best way forward.

 

Actively doing its part in informing the public on the importance of protection, preparedness and education regarding HIV is Durex. Through its latest multimedia Protection & Preparedness Education (PPE) campaign—featuring vlog collaborations, online university talks, and e-learning videos—Durex wants the public to be properly informed and kept safe from HIV during this pandemic. The public is also enjoined to visit Durex Philippines’ official Facebook Page and YouTube Channel, where they can be kept up-to-date and informed.

 

And since no one is invulnerable to catching HIV in these times, being prepared in encounters – to always come prepared – is a must. And clearly, as we all do our share in preventing the spread of COVID-19, we must also be responsible in protecting ourselves and others from catching HIV.

What are the factors to consider in choosing a smartphone? Price, how about specs? And what about brand? With all the existing ones, it’s quite difficult to choose so let me make it easier for you.

Realme is the top 2 smartphone brand in PH considering barely two years of presence in the Philippine market, the fastest growth speed in local smartphone history. That goes to show how much consumers support their products which can be attributed to quality and durability as well as their after sales service. Some even say their software is better. I, personally own one which I truly love because of its reliability in games. 

Recently they launched new products which they sell at Shopee that everyone will surely take notice of and will definitely sell like pancakes. 

Realme 7 8gb RAM+128gb ROM












It is the first smartphone powered by MediaTek Helio G95 mobile processor. Ideally for modern-day gamers & entertainment fanatics, this smartphone not only boasts of a high quality gaming processor, but also a 6.5-inch 90Hz ultra-smooth display, a 16 MP in-display selfie camera,  2nd Generation 64MP Sony IMX682 rear quad-camera system. It comes in Mist Blue and Mist White

At P14,990, it comes with :
30W Dart Charger
USB Type-C Cable Protect Case Protect Film SIM Card Tool
Important Info Booklet with Warranty Card


Realme 7 Pro (8gb RAM + 128gb ROM)






This model features a 65W SuperDart fast charge which guarantees the phone to be fully pumped in 34 minutes. It has the same design and colors with the previously stated model above. However, the Pro version is slimmer and lighter giving it a more compact body. The screen is a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display. A microSD slot that is expandable up to 256GB is also included.


At ₱17,990 it comes with:
65W SuperDart Charger

Realme Buds Q 20-Hour Playback Time


This piece of audio technology is designed by none other than Jose Levy, a multi-awarded designer known the world over. Its exquisite design is based on the round shape of  cobblestones which apparently is a perfect fit for your ears. Due to its frosted texture, it feels like a cobble flowing in your hands. It comes in yellow, black, and white. You won't feel a thing when it's on your ears since it only weighs 3.6g which is lighter than a sheet of A4 paper. It is powered by a 400mah battery for 20 hours total playback. With its 10mm Bass Boost driver, the bass is more powerful and deep, and gives the same experience as in a concert. Lastly, it is equipped with R1Q chip that supports Bluetooth 5.0 allowing instant connection. Oh and before I forget, it also has IPX4 water resistance to prevent sweat and rain from damaging the device, giving you full sense of reliability.
