SM and Fast Retailing Foundation Launch ‘Grow Trees Community’ in Nasugbu

SM Foundation, Inc. the social good arm of the SM group, and the Fast Retailing Foundation (FR Foundation), a general incorporated foundation in Japan, formally launched the ‘Grow Trees Community’ project in Nasugbu, Batangas last September 27 as the first stop of three provinces for their ‘treescaping’ and reforestation initiative.

The Grow Trees Community project aims to plant and grow trees across the Philippines while helping create livelihood opportunities by working closely with the people’s organizations in the communities. The project also joins hands with Costa del Hamilo, Inc., Manila Southcoast Development, Inc and the local government of Nasugbu.

“The core of our program is to go beyond planting trees. It also addresses the social and economic needs of communities by providing them with the means to engage in agroforestry. With this in mind, we want to build a strong foundation to keep growing communities by fostering collaboration and leadership in caring for the environment” said Cristie S. Angeles, SM Foundation Assistant Vice President for Livelihood.

“Facilitating sustainable development is one of the core activities of FR Foundation and we support this program to further promote environmental stewardship, preservation and the economic development among communities. We are delighted to partner with SM Foundation who has an extensive experience in community development and tree planting programs in the Philippines,” Mr. Yoshio Ishida, Secretary-General of FR Foundation said.

The project is also seen enhancing prospects for eco-tourism and in turn, job creation for the community.

“This endeavor will definitely boost the eco-tourism here in Nasugbu moving forward with the flowering trees creating a picturesque view of the property. This will promote not just Hamilo Coast, but also the local community with no other property hosting this vast array of Palawan Cherry and other flowering trees,” Franklin M. Bolalin, Assistant Vice President for Hamilo Estate Management said.

Hamilo Coast looks after one of the largest mangrove forests in the province of Batangas in partnership with WWF Philippines since 2007. The 24-hectare mangrove belt is covered by lush 50,000 mangrove trees.

Three of Hamilo Coast’s coves, namely Pico de Loro, Etayo and Santelmo, have been declared as Marine Protected Areas by the (Organization) since 2009.

The site serves as a marine sanctuary to an exuberant diversity of marine animals and a resilient locale for migratory and unique species of birds, now totaling 96, which includes the vulnerable Philippine eagle-owl (Bubo philippensis).

The presence of more trees in these areas will act as natural protection against erosion, and absorption of planet-warming greenhouse gases.

Grow Trees Community is in support of the SM Green Movement that aims to improve the quality of life of communities through sustainable solutions to promote a green planet, green living and a green culture.

FR Foundation focuses on promoting research designed to help make the world a better place, spurring technological development, nurturing human resources, and supporting socially vulnerable individuals or groups.

It is part of Fast Retailing Co. Ltd., the leading Japanese retail company that owns well-loved casual wear brand, Uniqlo.

LG: The Evolution of OLED evo

With the introduction of anything new, there’s always a fever pitch to get under the hood and explore what's inside. This is true for all industries especially in this day and age of vlogging and content creation. New menu items from your favorite restaurant, a facelift of a fan-favorite car model, next-gen gaming consoles, and of course, electronic equipment are some of the most popular things to compare and contrast to previous iterations. LG’s award winning OLED TVs are no exception. Its newest offering, the LG OLED evo, has been a hot topic for content creators worldwide. To help shed light on some of the OLED evo’s mystery, we go into detail about what’s new that it brings to the table.

What is LG OLED evo?
Simply put, LG OLED evo is the technological spirit behind the TVs, not a designation of a specific part. OLED evo is LG’s exclusive OLED technology which combines cutting-edge dynamic tone mapping and the powerful α9 Gen5 AI Processor. No matter what panel or parts may be used in the individual unit, all 42-inch C2 OLED TVs will meet the same picture quality standards.

While some other electronics companies might use the same underlying OLED hardware, what sets LG apart is their own processing technologies and models to finetune and enhance performance – which is why OLED evo is such a compelling choice for consumers. OLED evo leverages the superior capabilities of LG’s α9 Gen 5 intelligent processor to deliver outstanding picture quality. The combination of these features and qualities makes the OLED evo technology a cut above the rest.

All LG OLED evo TV variants, the 42”, 48” and 52” all offer industry-leading OLED technologies that go beyond hardware. They are all powered by the powerful α9 Gen5 AI Processor which optimizes the picture for more immersiveness, has foreground and back-ground effect enhancing, and reduces picture noise and offers better resolution upscaling. Whether you’re watching high definition 4K content or 20 year old videos, the picture quality is automatically adjusted to bring you the best possible viewing experience. It also provides viewers with more lifelike audio, enabling the TVs’ built-in speakers to produce virtual 7.1.2 surround sound. Even without the use of additional speakers, you get to experience clear and crisp sound.

Another key feature of OLED evo TVs is the Picture quality algorithm, which includes dynamic tone mapping that looks at the brightest and darkest areas in over 5,000 areas of the screen and then calibrates the best HDR for each of those areas. This means that optimal HDR can be applied for over 5,000 areas of the screen for optimal color expression. See colors as they should - dark areas stay dark as onyx and brights are exceptionally light.

Go beyond the panel and dive in with LG’s innovative OLED evo technology. Visit lg.com/ph for more product information. LG OLED evo TVs are available at authorized retailers nationwide and at LG’s official flagship stores in Lazada and Shopee.

LG Gives Grant of an Ambulance to Ambassador Challenge Winner Bahay Aruga

LG, delivering on their commitment to supporting the development of local communities, recently turned over its grant to one of its LG Ambassador Challenge winners, Bahay Aruga. The LG Ambassador Challenge is a global initiative spearheaded by the South Korean tech company together with Korea Friends of Hope International (KFHI). The program aims to give support to local programs that improve the livelihood of developing communities.

One of the winners of the first Philippine Ambassador Challenge was Bahay Aruga, a free halfway house for Pediatric Cancer patients of Philippine General Hospital (PGH). One of the organization’s biggest obstacles was the lack of transportation options between the halfway house and the hospital, especially during medical emergencies. As part of the LG Ambassador Challenge winning grant, LG recently turned over a brand new ambulance to Bahay Aruga.

In a small turnover ceremony, KFHI country manager Taeho Lee, Bahay Aruga corporate secretary Viana Joan B. Mata, LGEPH managing director Sungjae Kim, and LGEPH product director for Air Solutions Changsoo Jang were onsite to give the ambulance, together with LG loot bags, to Bahay Aruga and the children they are supporting.

LGEPH managing director Sungjae Kim expressed his happiness with the success of the first LG Ambassador Challenge in the country. “LG is fully committed to supporting local communities and lending a helping hand to aid in development. The LG Ambassador Challenge, together with the help of KFHI, lets us amplify our efforts. We are ecstatic with this first round because it definitely won’t be the last.”
