Manila Water bags two Merit Awards at the 21st Philippine Quill Awards

Manila Water Foundation’s Project Drink Pilipinas! and Manila Water Sustainability Team’s Katubig Currents: Stories & Actions for a Sustainable Future both earned recognition at the 21st Philippine Quill Awards held at the Manila Hotel recently.   

Manila Water receives dual distinction at the 21st Philippine Quill Awards, presented at the Manila Hotel. The Manila Water Foundation and the Sustainability Team each get a Merit Award for exceptional communication projects that promote public health and environmental stewardship. 

Project Drink Pilipinas! , sponsored by the Manila Water Foundation, received recognition in the Corporate Social Responsibility category.  The campaign encourages hydration for both health and environmental sustainability.  Through the Project Drink Pilipinas! The Manila Water Foundation has constructed over 400 refrigerated drinking fountains (RDFs) in critical public areas such as parks, hospitals, and tourism sites to promote the community's health and well-being.  RDFs have been installed on campuses around Metro Manila, guaranteeing that students, instructors, and staff have quick access to clean, refreshing drinking water.

With over 752,987 people now having access to clean, potable water, the project promotes the use of washable drinking cups or tumblers while challenging the "throw-away" mentality of single-use PET plastic bottles, which can contaminate streams and cause flooding.

“Project Drink Pilipinas! of Manila Water Foundation calls on more partners and donors to bring refrigerated drinking fountains to more schools and public spaces. Through partnerships, let us quench the public’s thirst for clean, potable water, promote hydration for health, and care for the environment by supporting solid waste management programs of cities and communities.” ~Rej Andal, Manila Water Foundation Executive Director

Meanwhile, the Manila Water Sustainability Team's Katubig Currents: Stories & Actions for a Sustainable Future program received a Merit Award for Sustainability Communications as well as Breakthroughs and Innovation.  The initiative combines employee-led watershed restoration activities through Pasibol: Puno ng Pag-asa with an internal storytelling platform, Kwentong Katubig, to build a sustainable culture.  Katubig Currents encourages Manila Water employees to become climate resilience ambassadors through more than 1,600 volunteer hours, 22 published publications, and other employee-driven solutions.

“Katubig Currents reflects the heart of our sustainability journey—empowering every Manila Water employee to be a storyteller, a changemaker, and a steward of our shared future. This recognition affirms our belief that real climate action begins within.” ~Sarah Bergado, Manila Water Sustainability Director

The Philippine Quill Awards, organized by the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Philippines, is the country’s most prestigious recognition program for business communication excellence.

Dream It, Do It: BINI and Students #GoForIt with Globe

Globe is building spaces where desire meets opportunity by providing internships, mentorship, funding, volunteering, and youth-led events that inspire.  Globe recently launched their #GoForIt campaign with BINI, which pairs eight student dreamers with eight BINI members, not as stars on a pedestal, but as friends who face the same late nights, doubts, and pressures.

They demonstrated that dreams can take many forms, like becoming a photographer, digital illustrator, model, journalist, scientist, game creator, or performer.  From rocking the stage to making the next great breakthrough, every road is worthwhile.

“Globe not only connects people through a network, but through communities as well.” ~Clareene, a Polytechnic University of the Philippines  student dreaming of becoming a digital artist

One Beat, Many Dreams

BINI understands what it's like to pursue a dream that seems out of grasp.  From grueling training days to topping the charts, they experienced the same uncertainties and obstacles as many students today.

“Kahit din may mga doubts kami nung una, since Globe believed in us, that allowed us to believe in ourselves.” ~BINI Aiah

Reminding everyone that life and dreams are not a race against anyone else, but a personal journey you take at your own pace.

“‘Di kailangan magmadali para magwagi, buhay ay ‘di karera.” ~BINI Maloi

These moments with BINI show that they’re not just stars, but young women who once dreamed like today’s students. Whether in music, medicine, entrepreneurship, or digital art, one truth stands: no matter the dream, hold on to it, and go for it.

 

Globe’s Game Plan for Student Success

These interactions with BINI demonstrate that they are more than simply stars; they are young women who once dreamed like today's pupils.  Whether it's music, medicine, entrepreneurship, or digital art, one truth remains constant: no matter what your dream is, hold onto it and pursue it.

“It’s a lasting commitment, this is Globe’s promise to give young people the tools, skills, and support to turn ambition into achievement.  We empower today’s youth through the Globe Student Program, which connects classroom learning with real-world experiences. Students can explore opportunities to join special Globe events, volunteer initiatives, and exclusive student raffles designed to inspire and engage.” ~Roche Vandenberghe, Globe’s Chief Marketing Officer

Aside from experiences, the program grants access to the GlobeOne app's Student Rewards, which offer intriguing benefits. Students can receive discounts, rewards, and personalized learning experiences from partners such as Ayala Museum, Museo Pambata, beep™ card, Timezone, and Jollibee.

Simply search for "Student Specials" on the Globe Rewards page in the GlobeOne app to see student-specific incentives. Whether through dependable connectivity, learning platforms, digital tools, or mentorship, the challenge isn't being alone, but rather being prepared to Go For It!

The Rhythm of Ambition

Globe's message, like BINI's music, reaches out to Filipino student youth from all backgrounds. There is no single path to success; it begins with courage, expands with perseverance, and thrives when the correct resources are available. That's why #GoForIt is more than just a message; it's a movement encouraging every student, dreamer, and future leader to take their shot.

 

Different Dreams. Same Drive. #GoForIt with Globe.

Revisiting Classic: UNIQLO’s 2025 Fall/Winter Collection Gives Modern Spin to Timeless Style

UNIQLO celebrity partners Solenn Heussaff, Donny Pangilinan, Kianna Dy, and Jasmine Curtis-Smith, together with UNIQLO representatives, showcase the styling versatility of the 2025 Fall Winter Collection

UNIQLO today unveiled the design concept for its 2025 Fall/Winter collection, "Revisiting Classic," which combines timeless style with a polished, modern edge.  On August 22, the global clothes retailer showcased its new lineup to the media at Gallio Events Hall in Parañaque City.

UNIQLO, the definitive authority on classics-meet-modern wardrobe necessities, blends various other conflicting elements for this season's collection, resulting in something new yet familiar.  The 2025 F/W collection combines functional and traditional elements, masculine and feminine, and adds an athletic twist to structured tailoring.  It's all about adding elegance to basic styles and balancing contrasts to create a more fashion-forward range that is also comfortable and utilitarian.

“With the theme ‘Revisiting Classic,’ this collection takes a cue from timeless style, showcasing silhouettes, colors, and patterns perfect for various lifestyles, while paying close attention to quality through our clothing technology. We want to give our customers, fresh, versatile LifeWear that’s perfect for the season because nowadays, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort to look good. Your clothes should make you feel good, too.” ~Geraldine Sia, UNIQLO Philippines Chief Operating Officer

During the press preview, UNIQLO's local celebrity partners Donny Pangilinan, Solenn Heusaff, Kianna Dy, and Jasmine-Curtis Smith demonstrated the style options for the 2025 Fall/Winter Collection.

Donny wore the popular JW Anderson Straight Jeans to create a preppy appearance, focusing on stacking silhouettes, colors, patterns, and materials. Solenn demonstrated how flexible UNIQLO garments can be by wearing the durable, easy-care Merino Crew Neck Sweater with a satin skirt for a style that is both comfy and effortlessly stylish.  Kianna, a volleyball superstar, showed the Sport Utility Wear collection, which can transition from active to casual with its core capabilities. Finally, Jasmine demonstrated UNIQLO's dependable HEATTECH and PUFFTECH goods, which are ideal for staying warm while traveling.

The UNIQLO 2025 Fall/Winter collection features sleek and modern designs in a variety of categories, as well as some notable collaborations to keep track of.

The new range of jeans has the JW ANDERSON Straight Jeans as the season's silhouette. It has a vintage appearance and a superb straight fit in a comfy 100% cotton fabric. This season, the JW ANDERSON Straight Jeans are available in two new colors: Deep Blue for Women and Gray for Men, which complement any ensemble.  Donny enjoys the style versatility the best.

There are several Sport Utility Wear items as well worth getting during these cold months. Stay cool, dry, and safe from the sun anywhere you go with the Pocketable UV Protection Parka. Meanwhile, The AIRism Bra Sleeveless Top presents an updated neckline and length for a sleeker fit and utmost versatility, making for the perfect inner or top as is. Aside from UV Protection and AIRism, the Sport Utility Wear collection features other foundational functionalities. This includes DRY-EX technology, which keeps wearers dry at all times, and  Ultra Stretch feature, which allows for amazing ease of movement.

“As an athlete, this is basically my daily wear. UNIQLO Sport Utility Wear  pieces offer me comfort and ease during my most active training days plus they are effortless to style too!" ~Kianna Dy

For trips to colder places this season, the UNIQLO 2025 Fall/Winter collection offers a variety of options to assure comfort while remaining stylish. The Washable Milano Ribbed Sweater is made of UNIQLO's unique yarn, which gives it a bouncy but soft feel, distinguishing it from typical knitwear.  Its tight-knit weave also tackles knitwear's fundamental shortcoming, as it is durable and machine-washable.  Solenn attests to UNIQLO's knitted garments.

"I attest to the knit pieces of UNIQLO. As a working mom, I’m also moving a lot, so my clothes really get put to the test. But they still look good, as you can see now." ~Solenn Heussaff

Then, to be warm, comfortable, and stylish all at once, even in chilly weather, there are many of UNIQLO HEATTECH things to consider from the 2025 Fall/Winter collection.  The HEATTECH Extra Warm Cashmere Blend T for women is made with a 9% cashmere blend yarn that feels deliciously smooth and fluffy and conforms to the body for a comfortable fit.  The men's HEATTECH Cashmere Blend Crew Neck, on the other hand, is made of yarn that is roughly half as thin as that used in cashmere sweaters, providing the same function as standard Extra Warm HEATTECH with around 70% of the weight for more comfort.

"I love wearing the HEATTECH Cashmere and PUFFTECH Cropped Vest because they’re stylish and lightweight, perfect for packing. I can wear it on its own or layer it with a PUFFTECH vest, depending on how cold it is or the look I’m going for. You’ll definitely see this outfit on my socials in the months to come." ~Jasmine Curtis-Smith

Jasmine's picks are from the current UNIQLO: C collection.  UNIQLO Creative Director and acclaimed British-born fashion designer Clare Waight Keller created the new collection, which exemplifies the essence of movement and function in wardrobe basics, perfectly merging formal elegance with casual comfort.  In addition to UNIQLO: C, the UNIQLO 2025 Fall/Winter collection features new designs for the PEACE FOR ALL Charity T-Shirt Project, UNIQLO U, and a special collaboration with modern French fashion brand COMPTOIR DES COTONNIERS.
