The original music video saw its dance choreography garner viral success globally, spawning over 5.6 billion views and 4 million creations just on TikTok in the Southeast Asian region. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the Philippines alone, “Water” has amassed 3.1 million creations and 3.3 billion views on TikTok, making it the top contributor on the platform. The “Pop-piano” sensation also went viral in Philippine mainstream media late last year, with Filipino superstars Sarah Geronimo and Kathryn Bernardo attracting headlines with their cover performances of “Water.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tyla is a 15-track affair and the first full-length offering from the singer, who struck gold (and platinum) with her hit single, “Water,” one of 2023’s biggest hits that has accomplished 766 Million Streams worldwide to date. Across Southeast Asia, the single achieved 4X Platinum certification in Singapore and Malaysia, and Gold certification in the Philippines.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On her debut album, Tyla introduces her supporters to the full scope of the African pop star within, taking each listener on a journey driven by Amapiano and interpolated with a multitude of the genres that have inspired Tyla throughout her young life, including Hip Hop, Pop, and R&B.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tracks like “Safer,” “Truth Or Dare,” and the Becky G-featured “On My Body” will recall the timeless energy of “Water,” while elsewhere, Tyla expands her range. Gunna and Skillibeng join her for a high-octane Hip Hop anthem, and “Butterflies” is a viscous R&B ballad devoid of Tyla’s customary upbeat tempos. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“When I listen to the album, I’m so proud of it,” Tyla told Rolling Stone last week. “I just see our sound going so far: the culture, the words, the slang. Even just Joburg — the thought of people now singing about Joburg.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The release of Tyla follows a historic second half of 2023 for Tyla, who became the highest-charting female soloist in African history on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 when “Water” peaked as the #7 song in the nation. Along with this accolade came an RIAA Platinum certification and Tyla’s first GRAMMY nomination. In February, that became a GRAMMY victory, for “Best African Music Performance,” in a crowded field that included Davido, WizKid, and Burna Boy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“The Tyla story is one that has already inspired millions of people,” says Ezekiel Lewis, President of Epic Records. “Her young star is on the rise, and this project marks one more step towards the achievement of a global music fan base rooted in the touch and feel of Amapiano, R&B, and Pop. Her music is an export of African music and culture “The Tyla Way”, and we are eager to share this amazing body of work with the world. Stay Tuned.” Fans in search of the full suite of the TYLA album experience are encouraged to check out the singer’s merch bundle, which includes autographed vinyl options, streetwear and, in true pop star fashion, an album poster.

A recent study by TransUnion Philippines showed that 94% of Filipino Gen Zs see the importance of credit and lending products to reach their financial goals. Still, only 35% report having sufficient access to such products.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“If you talk to any Filipino, there’s still significant frustration with the complexity, lack of transparency, and bureaucracy embedded in financial services. Only 8% of Filipinos own a credit card, largely because it is incredibly difficult to get one if you don’t already have one,” said Danielle Cojuangco Abraham, Zed co-founder.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Complicated application processes, tedious documentation, and arbitrary underwriting methods are among the challenges that disproportionately impact young people when they apply for their first credit card accounts. Those lucky enough to get approved face astronomical APRs, punitive fees, and a broken customer experience. These observations led to the creation of Zed, the first credit card for young Filipino professionals.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2KK_tWCNHOZwTn-8EEe2NHJkw1RGwV0I5yGKn9ADnK11o1wacrbKAW6n6685tsPXHQVfMJNU3VnK9sXRFpnh2vH4-rdupJkHtNJO7fsZ12fjzzazjfNGzh-jxkN5eDzKsS40-LAdC0mfpysYqaCvNdTM9SJY-hyJvAaUPEt_mh5uHayOsljuvEPn-dxuG/s1280/Zed%20card%20front%20back%20Large.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2KK_tWCNHOZwTn-8EEe2NHJkw1RGwV0I5yGKn9ADnK11o1wacrbKAW6n6685tsPXHQVfMJNU3VnK9sXRFpnh2vH4-rdupJkHtNJO7fsZ12fjzzazjfNGzh-jxkN5eDzKsS40-LAdC0mfpysYqaCvNdTM9SJY-hyJvAaUPEt_mh5uHayOsljuvEPn-dxuG/s16000/Zed%20card%20front%20back%20Large.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“We founded Zed on the belief that young people in the Philippines and Southeast Asia deserve better financial products, better technology, and ultimately better service tailored to their lifestyles and exceeding their expectations,” Danielle added.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Created by two Stanford engineers and Y-Combinator alumni, Zed is a credit-led neobank regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). Its first offering is a Mastercard Titanium credit card that boasts no interest, no foreign transaction fees, no annual fees, and is backed by a groundbreaking app – all of which makes it the ideal credit card for everyday spending, travel, utilities, and everything in between.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“As a technology company from day one, we don’t have to pay for costly overhead like physical branches or bloated headcounts for manual, back office processes. We’re able to pass these savings on to customers in the form of no revolving interest, no fees, and excellent customer service. We started Zed on the premise that you could build financial services where a customer’s success was a core value,” said Steve Abraham, Zed co-founder.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Our proprietary technology platform allows us to remove the pain in traditional banking, deliver powerful first-to-market features, and provide a fair and transparent cost structure where both Zed and the customer could win,” he added.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This sentiment and Zed's mission resonated with many Filipinos. The waitlist received almost 25,000 sign-ups within the first three weeks.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Our business model is simple and purposely built to succeed only if our customers do.

While awareness of insurance importance is increasing, the aforementioned traditional insurance products fail to resonate with many people for various reasons, including affordability, accessibility, and relevance. These factors have largely contributed to the low insurance penetration in the Philippines, which stands at 1.68% as of September 2023.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCgKEvn2t3ij9SSRAObrz_HFCZgRpCLXd_R-el1_ZvaPdOwXuix_PymzDketTFlrFsWNufHqTN90Kn65vdSmevbP_O2DZMSn3sQ54OXtQDpM1CkCdTyIXKvL5iGNdBuSO-homLjNIDhzu7tE-Di9Lvoh63jTCaRLaCvUUNQUJh1400m0SkUPxHlsJkpCY-/s1000/Online%20Shopping%20Protection-Igloo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="727" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCgKEvn2t3ij9SSRAObrz_HFCZgRpCLXd_R-el1_ZvaPdOwXuix_PymzDketTFlrFsWNufHqTN90Kn65vdSmevbP_O2DZMSn3sQ54OXtQDpM1CkCdTyIXKvL5iGNdBuSO-homLjNIDhzu7tE-Di9Lvoh63jTCaRLaCvUUNQUJh1400m0SkUPxHlsJkpCY-/s16000/Online%20Shopping%20Protection-Igloo.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is where microinsurance is changing the game as insurtechs and insurance companies have introduced personalized microinsurance products that cater directly to Filipinos' unique lifestyles and needs as they go through various stages of their lives. As an insurtech, Igloo and its partners have facilitated various microinsurance products that safeguard the unique needs of digital natives and underserved sectors. These products run the gamut from travel insurance, to electronics protection, e-commerce purchase protection, and even protection for the gamers’ health.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“While traditional insurance products may have high premiums and broad coverage, microinsurance products are designed to provide targeted protection against specific risks relevant to our daily lives. By offering affordable products that address immediate needs, microinsurance can serve as the gateway to broader insurance protection and may be key to boosting insurance penetration,” said Roberto Vea, Commercial Lead at Igloo Philippines.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Among the most popular insurance products Igloo PH and its partners facilitated are Gadget Protection and Online Shopping Protection. In 2023, Gadget Protection sold 10.3 million policies while Online Shopping Protection sold 1.98 million, highlighting strong customer demand for coverage against electronic device damages and online purchase risks.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Microinsurance empowers individuals to protect themselves against risks they face today, whether it's safeguarding their electronics from liquid damage or ensuring affordable coverage for spontaneous travel adventures. At Igloo, we believe it’s important for insurers and insurtechs like ourselves to continuously develop relevant products and make sense for our customers,” Mario added.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As of September 2023, microinsurance premiums in the Philippines have increased by <a href="https://preciouscomms-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2Oec37GoICKkc3a2JkDFGY7a3OyZOlDr35hPsWQGX_vaKOWdUjgH5pTd-KliWGB5R83M1-1orjOf8QhGMiUoO41GGxIObD6nhokQI1IhjAVIhf5a-NjKfSzLE67Pu8AS4ppq5kvIpematvJy_PqPHTph8vNsTZUOoWP1F7Y9K168s3XRrojSGBDQrWVF_EEhWu2W4FChoVdJ1CuCV_fBVgg4YmW5qdc1hwl7Iu6tO3pBEI4738baWSdPwCSvdcnPf-EBxIv9DctvJHBRsy_xA1piq2bWctWBWeqUl-WlZIHAoZFV_9tkIKmlAAR4Hi7wRwcHqeLW5JlOE9ycxf2wp9SVsjz0">19.6% to P10.16 billion</a>, and over 56 million Filipinos are now insured under microinsurance policies.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“The growth of the microinsurance industry underscores how the approach to insurance awareness is no longer one size fits all–it must evolve alongside our digital-first lifestyles, safeguarding our ever-expanding virtual assets and providing peace of mind in the face of modern risks,” Vea explained. “This also means ensuring that the products are where our consumers are–online, thus making sure that the entire buyer’s journey from consideration to purchase and claims must be easy, accessible, and uncomplicated.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to a recent study conducted by Manulife, <a href="https://preciouscomms-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2djUv2G2mgZFa1VvE2Ci98uUBW1xRnUlCCvJTTKBm-K-OOWdUjgGJMXtiVVRQQU2XAb6JkE8dMcoJ0oMMzHKyOMN2Gfp59fRn0sT0j-quih9crz0j4a2zpAVkMRInFTOTOb2uaSr8axukpT5pMMV4BGrHzqow9AlFkAzeJALtU1PBUkKu1qHXPC9RrXuM-MoeQMCgvpCOhsV1hBHd-mw0XcR30Q_6CWYxwxjt2aGbyKR7nMsFIz_zXmSj54quDBXm-rMWf656sa9sql6oRcDJpta0MORWTgTmuylH4oRFJapwJg">41% of Gen Z individuals</a> (aged 18-24, according to McKinsey) plan to purchase insurance online in the next 12 months.

This indicates that younger generations are increasingly preferring and adopting online channels for purchasing insurance.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is where the availability of embedded insurance expanded the distribution channels, providing consumers with a convenient way to discover, evaluate, and purchase products in just a few clicks. Igloo does this through partnerships with major e-commerce platforms like Lazada and Shopee, leading payment platforms like DANA in Indonesia and GCash in the Philippines, and retail chains like Circle K in Vietnam.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“As Igloo continues to play a vital role in making microinsurance accessible to millions of Filipinos, we remain committed to prioritizing products that raise insurance awareness and adoption and are relevant, innovative, and customer-centric,” Vea concluded.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Learn more about how Igloo’s tailored microinsurance solutions by visiting <a href="https://preciouscomms-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2N0fDsntm6KT_65MeZ_JPaDevi122oSnZm21ybvnzjDqWOWdUjgHomwj4gct65EmcQMK0FHuQ3bCRpKoT3bNssP0wuYYllGmrJ5sJ9hzmxbIeM48zVkB620iVPTIMZtVLjNkKHt7uQu5V7tw9U8TobBwfAZpTs6u6HCcJae1OimaQ3lfoidA">iglooinsure.com</a>.</div>Hoy!

This is part of the “Hoops + Health” program, a PHP 40 million partnership with Beyond Sport, a global sport-for-social-change organization. The program aims to leverage the power of basketball to encourage physical activity and promote healthier lifestyles by renovating basketball courts across Asia.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The inauguration event, held on February 28, 2024, at the Legacy of Light Village basketball court in Calauan, was attended by Sun Life executives, Sun Life brand ambassador Donny Pangilinan, Beyond Sport representatives, residents of Calauan, and national media.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The basketball court has been transformed with fresh coats of paint, upgraded facilities, and new, state-of-the-art basketball hoops. More than just a physical renovation, this initiative represents Sun Life’s commitment to fostering healthier communities by improving access to physical activity. The revitalized court provides a safe and accessible space for individuals of all ages to engage in basketball and other physical activities, promoting overall health and well-being. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition, the “Hoops + Health” program will deliver an educational program for local coaches to learn about nutrition, physical activity, and protecting mental well-being.

The CamSur-based recording artist has recently signed with Sony Music Entertainment, the home to an all-star roster of OPM acts such as Ben&Ben, SB19, Clara Benin, Ace Banzuelo, Denise Julia, O Side Mafia, Demi, and dwta—to name a few.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Apart from being the newest addition to the growing family of the international record label, the promising newcomer sets her sights on representing her hometown on the global stage while showcasing her individuality through music.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Her debut single “<a href="http://patrciaheart.tunelink.to/kahit-di-ako-ang-gusto-mo">Kahit Di Ako ang Gusto Mo</a>” hints at an even brighter future as Patricia Heart defies expectations with her unique brand of charisma and songwriting chops. Buoyed by a suspenseful intro of synthesized strings and dramatic instrumentation, the soulful ballad reveals her experience as a young woman trapped in a toxic relationship, struggling to find light at the end of the tunnel.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Patricia Heart explains, “This song was written after losing one’s self to an obsessive, toxic relationship and eventually realizing the need to walk away from it in order to reclaim my sense of self-love. I have been in this kind of situation before. But you know: it takes two to tango, so no matter how badly we want to keep that relationship, if the other person is not as invested as you or you keep on sacrificing your worth as a person, it will never be saved.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The emotional single showcases Patricia Heart’s confessional songwriting style, infusing even more unfiltered woundedness into her sonically rich sound. Showcasing drama and, to an extent, dark humor to the mix, the budding pop/alternative talent marks her debut with an earworm that will surely gain traction among listeners of all ages, who can relate to her earnestness as a singer-songwriter.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“There’s so much that I can offer as an artist, and I hope the general public will love Kahit Di Ako ang Gusto Mo,” Patricia Heart shares. “It’s a song that comes from a place of hopelessness and trauma, but it’s also a cautionary tale that encourages the listener to never put other people’s feelings above your own, especially when you’re constantly losing your own person in the process.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Kahit Di Ako ang Gusto Mo” will be part of her upcoming debut EP, Songs of Siren, to be released soon. The highly anticipated release will contain five songs and is “poised to cast a spell on listeners once they hear the siren sing.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Patricia Heart’s “<a href="http://patrciaheart.tunelink.to/kahit-di-ako-ang-gusto-mo">Kahit Di Ako ang Gusto Mo</a>” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.</div>Hoy!

We’ll all play lengthy sets, and while we haven’t come up with a set list yet, we’ll likely play as many of our favorite songs as possible from the last 10 years.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">The intimate gathering also doubles as a launch for the band’s special limited-edition merchandise, particularly the classic CHEATS logo shirt with new colorways, re-released for those who haven’t had the chance to get one or want to collect them all. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">CHEATS also expressed gratitude to the fans who have continuously supported their work all these years. “Thanks to everyone who has supported the band, whether you’ve been there since the early days or just discovered us fairly recently. This will be our first show since last September, so we’re itching to play again for all of you.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">CHEATS was first formed by Jim Bacarro in 2013 and features Bacarro on vocals, keys, and guitar; Saab Magalona and Candy Gamos on vocals; Manny Tanglao on bass; Jason Caballa and Kyle Quismundo on guitars; and Enzo Hermosa on drums. The 7-piece band has produced three critically acclaimed studio albums to date: 2016’s Cheats, 2017’s Before The Babies, and 2022’s Houseplants. They have also headlined several music festivals here and abroad, such as Wanderland Music and Arts Festival, Clockenflap Music and Arts Festival, Laneway Music Festival, and AXEAN Festival, to name a few. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tickets to 10 YEARS OF CHEATS are now available via <a href="https://bit.ly/cheats10">bit.ly/cheats10.</a> Early bird passes have already sold out, but regular passes are still available for PHP 800. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">10 YEARS OF CHEATS is presented by CHEATS and GNN Entertainment Productions. </div><br /> Hoy!

The multi-skin tone color card sets a new benchmark for multi-skin tone imaging with the industry’s largest and most accurate skin tone database. It will further assist TECNO Universal Tone technology’s algorithm to adjust the accuracy of every skin tone in each capture, achieving greater mobile portrait inclusivity. Attendees at MWC Barcelona 2024 can experience this latest advancement of TECNO’s Universal Tone technology in person at the brand‘s stand, 6B11, Hall 6, Fira Gran Via.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPjuDf8S58SGST-XoAiDM5PQssSqKl6o2umvIh6AU4RCmiKw_sEcylr1ZFaBPOVlBA1TK-rxEAm2J83fxtlz1IvFNOk5bF3quYYqPloyP_cvTgA5dbS6bcLq8vEuZFb6v4AFva7L-R8ALlEWgmPTzJogd0ul9qXIH1qakr6SBcdd-KQhKKnox3txPsJGSQ/s768/tecno-mobile-logo-2-768x406.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="406" data-original-width="768" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPjuDf8S58SGST-XoAiDM5PQssSqKl6o2umvIh6AU4RCmiKw_sEcylr1ZFaBPOVlBA1TK-rxEAm2J83fxtlz1IvFNOk5bF3quYYqPloyP_cvTgA5dbS6bcLq8vEuZFb6v4AFva7L-R8ALlEWgmPTzJogd0ul9qXIH1qakr6SBcdd-KQhKKnox3txPsJGSQ/s16000/tecno-mobile-logo-2-768x406.webp" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mobile portrait technology has been biased for too long due to a lack of objective evaluation indicators and inspection standards for measuring multiple skin tones. To address this issue, TECNO’s multi-skin tone color card utilized international standard skin color collection methods to collect 2,838 skin color spectral data points. Having conducted a rigorous analysis of skin color clustering, boundary colors, and intermediate color division in CIELAB space, TECNO established 268 kinds of skin tone patches based on this large skin spectral database. The result of this innovation is the industry’s largest and most intricate skin tone database yet.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">TECNO’s multi-skin tone color card will be used to assess the color accuracy of the different skin tone images that are captured and displayed, as well as fine-tune the algorithms of Universal Tone’s multi-skin tone imaging technology, including skin color restoration algorithm and skin color improvement algorithm. This advancement further allows TECNO to improve every skin tone's accuracy further, providing an industry-leading validation standard for multi-skin tone imaging technology.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dr. Kaida Xiao, Associate Professor in Colour and Imaging Science at the University of Leeds, who advised TECNO during Universal Tone’s development, notes how this development can be utilized to better enhance the images it captures, “For years, imaging technology has not encapsulated skin tone diversity. While AI promises much to overcome this, it is often trained with historically biased data. TECNO’s multi-skin tone color card solves this issue scientifically by collecting mass amounts of unbiased data, and by integrating it with more advanced AI into TECNO’s camera system, TECNO has been able to truly capture the beauty of diverse skin tones.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">TECNO has partnered with many top global academics and influential institutions to explore the significance of inclusive portraiture. Last year, the company collaborated with BBC StoryWorks on the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/storyworks/future/portrait-for-everyone/portrait-for-everyone-with-tecno">“Portrait for Everyone” </a>short film, engaging professors in Colour and Imaging Science, Media Technology, and Psychological and Behavioral Science to discuss the societal impact of TECNO’s Universal Tone technology, the industry’s most advanced AI-powered multi-skin tone imaging technology yet. Moreover, through in-depth academic research, scientific analysis, and consultation with authoritative experts in the field, TECNO was able to determine how best to remove the technological and psychological barriers that negatively impact people’s engagement with portraiture, allowing for a truly unbiased and professional photography experience through Universal Tone technology — an approach that the multi-skin color card continues.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As a pioneer in developing a more inclusive smartphone industry, TECNO is committed to pursuing new technologies that ensure the beauty of human diversity is accurately captured. The newly released multi-skin tone color card represents a further step forward in Universal Tone’s mission to ensure greater inclusivity in mobile imaging, embrace every culture's uniqueness, and celebrate every form of beauty.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To find out more about TECNO Universal Tone technology, please visit: https://www.tecno-mobile.com/news/detail/#/1384</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For any related media queries, please contact <a href="mailto:pr.tecno@tecno-mobile.com">pr.TECNO@TECNO-mobile.com</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> berlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09683963967406704151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669552663122540058.post-89873190399482994412024-02-26T22:55:00.000-08:002024-02-26T22:55:32.288-08:004 safe ways to clean your ear<div style="text-align: justify;"><i>MakatiMed recommends these tried-and-tested methods of removing ear wax—only if needed</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Yp9hN3logTZFNr6fJuR_-ZQ8-5PHwhn9fe-AlA521R-MEjFNqmtCF6gb2Im4LHSQVMHSKam5ocIk5obCFkVBi3bLwWMrfA-gmZCdrs_vdRSN9KCdM0zmTX3ep4-005GN4boYHRW3lQ4iMmwMAcFb2he_rnQuhl2J3a-r-xl08pQY5G6mK3lwHc60lqeG/s4896/You%20may%20risk%20doing%20more%20harm%20than%20good%20when%20you%20shove%20a%20cotton%20bud%20in%20your%20ear.%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4896" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Yp9hN3logTZFNr6fJuR_-ZQ8-5PHwhn9fe-AlA521R-MEjFNqmtCF6gb2Im4LHSQVMHSKam5ocIk5obCFkVBi3bLwWMrfA-gmZCdrs_vdRSN9KCdM0zmTX3ep4-005GN4boYHRW3lQ4iMmwMAcFb2he_rnQuhl2J3a-r-xl08pQY5G6mK3lwHc60lqeG/s16000/You%20may%20risk%20doing%20more%20harm%20than%20good%20when%20you%20shove%20a%20cotton%20bud%20in%20your%20ear.%20(1).jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For generations, cotton buds—aka cotton swabs, Q-tips—those small wooden, cardboard, or plastic rods with wads of cotton wrapped tightly on either end, were the go-to cleaner for our ears. Yet by shoving a cotton bud in your ear, you risk doing more harm than good, says Joseph Ray Richard R. Cedeño, MD of the ENT Center (Dr. Ariston G. Bautista Center) of the top hospital in the Philippines, Makati Medical Center (MakatiMed).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“When you use a cotton swab to remove ear wax (or cerumen) from your inner ear, you could push more cerumen in, creating a buildup in your ear canal,” warns Dr. Cedeño. “This results in hearing problems, ringing in the ear, dizziness, and pain. Poking a cotton swab in the external canal could also damage your eardrum, a complication that may need surgery to fix. And cleaning your ear with a cotton swab is one of the leading causes of otitis externa, or an infection in your ear canal.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Though often considered dirty and gross (hence the need to get them out of our ears), ear wax serves a purpose. “Ear wax is a sign of healthy ears,” adds Dr. Cedeño. “It serves as a filter of sorts, trapping and preventing bacteria, fungus, and tiny objects from entering our inner ears. It also protects the delicate skin of our ear canal and acts as a natural moisturizer.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So important is ear wax that no less than the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation declared that we should just leave ear wax alone, especially if it doesn’t cause any problems. “It helps to know that the ear has a self-cleaning mechanism,” Dr. Cedeño points out. “In time, ear wax naturally migrates from the inside to the outer ears. Even chewing and moving your jaw helps move old ear wax from the ear canal to the outer ears.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But if you must clean your ears—maybe you feel a buildup or notice your hearing is muffled—there are several ways to do it. MakatiMed recommends these four safe ways:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">With a washcloth</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“This is only meant for the outer ear,” reminds Dr. Cedeño. “Use a warm and damp washcloth to gently wipe the outer surfaces of your ear.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">With baby oil, mineral oil, or glycerin</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Warm the baby oil, mineral oil, or glycerin to your body temperature. Tilt your head to the side and place about 3 drops inside your affected ear with a dropper. Repeat twice a day for 5 days maximum until the wax softens. “When it does, gently guide warm water into the ear, then tip your head to drain your ear of fluid and wax. Clean with a washcloth or paper towel,” says Dr. Cedeño.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">With a cotton swab</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yes, it is possible to still clean with the controversial cotton swab. “Just use it to gently clean only the outer soft part of the ear canal and not the bony inner part,” Dr. Cedeño stresses.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">With your doctor’s help</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Visit an otolaryngologist (that is, a doctor specializing in conditions related to the ear, neck, and throat) if you experience pain in your ear, fever, some hearing loss, or fluid coming out of your ear. “Your doctor has the tools and expertise to safely remove ear wax and check for any underlying problems,” Dr. Cedeño suggests.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For more information, please contact MakatiMed On-Call at +632.88888 999, email <a href="mailto:mmc@makatimed.net.ph">mmc@makatimed.net.ph</a>, or visit <a href="http://www.makatimed.net.ph/">www.makatimed.net.ph</a>.

However, amidst these obstacles, the industry is forging ahead with innovation and modernization, with insurtechs emerging as crucial drivers of this change, fueling efficiency enhancements and elevating customer experiences.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLKm-Q_Vyd_d5ptK3vEww9hyq8RnrbvzGRoPFNDpGvJ2tIuu1QxVKOUK2eMkVdlNdvbI52kgnsK0OBRc0cLHG59NOfeQMCo1IG471mZbM15Y8bkvKiH5Z-qdEOzPwR4VyiotCJtjcRb16RBh0somi1iAffsCwhb8mwan_lA0uYT-o3lMdLpgAfkSUPaNv6/s1870/Igloo%20Insurance%202.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="804" data-original-width="1870" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLKm-Q_Vyd_d5ptK3vEww9hyq8RnrbvzGRoPFNDpGvJ2tIuu1QxVKOUK2eMkVdlNdvbI52kgnsK0OBRc0cLHG59NOfeQMCo1IG471mZbM15Y8bkvKiH5Z-qdEOzPwR4VyiotCJtjcRb16RBh0somi1iAffsCwhb8mwan_lA0uYT-o3lMdLpgAfkSUPaNv6/s16000/Igloo%20Insurance%202.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Insurtechs have facilitated the seamless integration of insurance into the purchase journey across diverse platforms, including e-commerce, fintech, and logistics. They have also made it possible for brick-and-mortar establishments such as convenience stores to become viable distribution channels to enhance accessibility and awareness of insurance products, bringing offline consumers online. Insurtech firms likewise empower insurers to create personalized products, meeting the unique needs of underserved sectors and effectively managing emerging risks in digital consumers' lifestyles today–these include pet insurance, travel insurance, electronic and mobile phone protection, and even micro, small, and medium business insurance.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Amidst the industry's continuous transformation, insurtech Igloo identifies key trends poised to persist in 2024, further elevating efficiency throughout the insurance value chain and propelling the ongoing momentum of embedded insurance and personalization.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">AI-Powered Data Analytics for Enhanced Risk Assessment</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fast becoming the cornerstone of the insurance sector, revolutionizing the way companies analyze data and assess risks. This year, we can expect insurers to increasingly leverage AI for advanced data analytics, allowing them to gain deeper insights into customer behavior, preferences, and emerging risks. By harnessing the power of AI, insurers can enhance their risk assessment models, leading to more accurate pricing and better management of uncertainties in the ever-changing market.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Blockchain for smoother claims processing</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Blockchain's sustained influence in insurance underscores its pivotal role in streamlining claims processing. The decentralized and transparent nature of blockchain ensures efficient, fraud-resistant transactions, expediting claims settlement and reducing administrative costs. This enduring trend continues revolutionizing the insurance landscape by enhancing accuracy, trust, and operational efficiency.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Zero-Code Platforms for Swift Product Launch</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The adoption of zero-code platforms is set to streamline and accelerate the launch of new insurance products across various channels. These platforms empower insurance companies to develop, modify, and deploy applications without extensive coding, significantly reducing the time and resources required for product development. This rapid deployment capability ensures that insurers can respond swiftly to market demands, offering a diverse range of products tailored to the evolving needs of consumers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Digital Empowerment of Agents to Boost Productivity</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As the industry becomes more digital, insurance agents are also set to benefit from advanced technologies that enhance their productivity and improve customer interactions. In 2024, insurers are expected to invest in empowering their agents with digital tools and resources, facilitating seamless communication, quicker policy issuance, and personalized customer experiences. The digitalization of agents also contributes to an overall positive customer journey, fostering loyalty and satisfaction.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Securing Against Climate Change Through Insurance</h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbTcKxQaQbHyyyrbtf-_TiEaYVZNy80EPbOMAUM1XPI0e9mCyTTH0-jI5VDkIn-CnL4odksfAH4CBCPW2PhTNJBdf4Mgad8RizZ3iL9psjv0Nam37QrgNyZzSw78JObfKtO-EwLDMjq8JN0zySBQXY_TiKGV7Vh4KNTiJ3QjxsVRthlFaALa6nOt1BmAVW/s1600/Igloo%20Insurance.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1164" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbTcKxQaQbHyyyrbtf-_TiEaYVZNy80EPbOMAUM1XPI0e9mCyTTH0-jI5VDkIn-CnL4odksfAH4CBCPW2PhTNJBdf4Mgad8RizZ3iL9psjv0Nam37QrgNyZzSw78JObfKtO-EwLDMjq8JN0zySBQXY_TiKGV7Vh4KNTiJ3QjxsVRthlFaALa6nOt1BmAVW/s16000/Igloo%20Insurance.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Climate insurance has emerged in response to the increasing frequency and intensity of climate-related events. As businesses, individuals, and governments grapple with the impacts of climate change, insurance has become a critical tool for managing the financial losses resulting from it, such as damage to agriculture, infrastructure, and personal property.
