Hyun Bin Philippine Fan’s Virtual Birthday Celebration levels up Fangirling experience

NEW NORMAL Fangirling is done differently in all parts of the world.  Here in the Philippines, multiple HYUN BIN Fangirling social media pages rose, since the success of the Kdrama Crash Landing On You (CLOY). A Fan Community is lead by an Events Company, Manila Preneur Corp.

The Hyun Bin Philippine Fan Club (HBPFC) has multiple content, being the First of most things, having it’s own website, fan merchandise,  fan live broadcast, featured clips for documentary, gift sending to Hyun Bin in Korea, creation of the exclusive fanzine, and the most awaited is their birthday celebration for their Oppa Idol, Hyun Bin.

“I want Hyun-Bin’s Birthday Month to be a campaign, not just an event”, shared by the Fan Club Director, Cherry Saculo-Genato. As a solid fan, she has organized the fan club no different from her popular events and festivals.

“I am a Filipino creative, I support projects that showcase Filipino Pride.  By profession, I organize different events; one is the Manila Beer Fest, participated by 80 Local Craft Brewers. I was sure that making a Customized Craft Beer by the 4th largest Brewery (Boondocks Brewing) in the Philippines, as a gift for Hyun Bin was an idea that is hard to beat. I thought that if the gift is unique, Filipino Fans would stand out, that is why I tirelessly think of ways where we can be exceptional.”
She added, “ Creating a Craft Beer for Hyun Bin is a work of Art, from carefully selecting the ingredients, taste testing, designing the packaging and up to all the way how videos are directed. Hyun Bin Beer is my gift to the Filipino fans and the Fan’s Gift to our one and only Hyun Bin. 

The Hyun Bin Beer is the highlight of the Birthday Virtual Party on Sept 25, 8pm  PH time, streamed live at the FB page of Manila Preneur Corp.  Audience may also expect a complete Birthday celebration where they can watch panel of fans for games, cake blowing of a grand customized cake by Maria’s Cake, AVP presentation, gift giving and Toast wishes from VIPs and celebrity guests.
 
The HBPFC’s overflowing love for their IDOL, has taken their Fangirling into an innovative expression of their admiration to HYIN BIN thru many other ways such as: Charity Event last Sept 19, at SILUNGAN NG PAG-ASA (Shelter for Cancer Children Patients).

Manila Preneur Corp., commissioned internationally recognized multi-media artist, Clint Catalan to Make HBPFC’s Filipino – inspired custom hand painted shoe (and box included) dedicated to his character Captain Ri in Crash Landing On You

And very soon the HBPFC will share its Fanzine, a magazine for the fans, which has the same content as to what was given to Hyun Bin as gift for his Birthday, a proof of the club’s milestones.

“Fangirling is not just an obsession to an idol, we formed our group based on our common admiration to Hyun Bin and it has taken us to meet people from different walks of life, we are continuously inspired and we choose to be high-spirited especially this challenging times of our lives.” --- Cherry S. Genato, Hyun Bin Philippine Fan Club/ Manila Preneur Corp.  September 20, 2020.

PH IMPROVES GLOBAL INNOVATION INDEX, HITS TOP 50; Needs to support more R&D and innovation programs – DTI chief

The Philippines continues to prove that it is among the world’s most innovative economies as it ranked 50th out of 131 countries in 2020 as reported in the annual Global Innovation Index (GII), up from 54th last year. This is the first time that the Philippines has breached the top 50 of the GII, which recognizes the country as an “innovation achiever” for the second year in a row.  

“Together with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL), and other national government agencies, we are delighted to see that our efforts to develop the country’s innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem are bearing fruit,” said Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez.  

“We are also committed to sustaining our gains in fostering a culture of innovation among our Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), as well as enabling the close collaboration between industry and the academe. Both of these are crucial as we endure the pandemic and we push to revitalize businesses, investments, livelihoods, and domestic demand,” Sec. Lopez added.  

The trade chief also stressed the need for government to continuously invest in research and development (R&D) and innovation to sustain economic growth. He also underscored the importance of closer collaboration with the private sector, increased access to credit for all Filipinos, provision of microfinancing opportunities and livelihood and business trainings for MSMEs. 

The GII 2020 noted that “over the past seven years, and taken together, China, the Philippines, India, and Vietnam are the GII economies in the top 50 with the most significant rank progress over time.”  

This was facilitated by their integration in global value chains and innovation networks. More specifically for the Philippines, from a rank of 100th in 2014 and reaching 50th in 2020, the GII highlighted country’s continued performance in pushing above expectations in its level of development. This placed the country among the top 10 best-ranked lower middle-income economies in the GII, which includes Vietnam, India, and Indonesia. 

“The DTI has long-recognized that for the Philippines to be competitive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, our enterprises and industries need to have strong linkages in domestic and global value chains and participate in innovation and production networks. These are essential in our Inclusive Innovation Industrial Strategy (i3S), which we have been implementing since 2014 and guides our efforts in building Regional Inclusive Innovation Centers (RIICs) across the country consistent with our Inclusive Filipinnovation and Entrepreneurship Roadmap,” said Undersecretary Rafaelita Aldaba.  

“The RIICs bring together stakeholders from government, industry, and the academe to collaborate and commercialize innovations in order to generate better employment opportunities, more entrepreneurial activities, and sustainable economic prosperity in the country’s regions,” said Undersecretary Aldaba. 

The country’s rankings in the GII’s input and output sub-indices continues to improve year-on-year. From a rank of 76th in 2019, the Philippine input sub-index rank rose to 70th, and from a rank of 42nd in 2019, the Philippine output sub-index rank moved up to 41st.  

Furthermore, the country’s rankings significantly increased from last year’s in four of the GII’s seven pillars: market sophistication (110th to 86th), business sophistication (32nd to 29th), knowledge & technology outputs (31st to 26th), and creative outputs (63rd to 57th). 

The GII 2020 also indicated that the Philippines’s strengths include: trade, competition, and market scale (20th); knowledge absorption (7th); knowledge diffusion (8th); utility models by origin (8th); productivity growth (6th); high-tech net exports (3rd); ICT services exports (8th); firms offering formal training (7th); creative goods exports (10th); e-participation (19th); and high-tech imports (1st). 

“We are confident that the Philippines can improve its innovation performance and move up the GII in the coming years, especially with the implementation of the Philippine Innovation Act and Innovative Startups Act. Filipinnovation will remain central to sustaining our competitiveness and national development through this pandemic and beyond,” remarked Sec. Lopez.

Israel Donates Learning Equipment to Support Filipino Students Amid COVID-19

Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation – MASHAV donated learning equipment to the Department of Education (DepEd) of the Philippines to help with its continuous efforts in coping up with the COVID-19 pandemic and in providing distance learning to Filipino students.

Chargé d’Affaires (CDA a.i.) Ms. Yulia Rachinsky-Spivakov led the turnover ceremony of the learning equipment comprised of heavy-duty copiers, laptops, and office printers. DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones witnessed the ceremony virtually while Usec. Revsee Escobedo from DepEd and Dean Jason Arriola from the Department of Foreign Affairs Office of Middle East and African Affairs (DFA-OMMEA) graced the event with their presence.

“COVID-19 pandemic has put a stop to our regular way of transmitting education which is largely face-to-face. Since we are determined to continue the process of learning amidst the pandemic, we have turned to blended learning without the face-to-face component,” Sec. Briones said. “Thank you very much for these learning equipment that we could use for blended education. I have been thinking of how to select the lucky recipients of these gifts. We will prioritize those who need it the most,” she added.

Furthermore, DepEd Secretary Briones has expressed her appreciation towards Israeli achievements in Science and education and her willingness to develop the bilateral cooperation in these areas.

“We are very happy to give assistance to Filipino students. We are aware of the challenges that DepEd is facing in terms of the blended learning approach due to COVID-19. That’s why we decided to give support to the Filipino youth, teachers, and the DepEd,” Ms. Rachinsky-Spivakov said. She added in Tagalog, “Sobrang masaya kaming tumulong sa mga mag-aaral sa Pilipinas. Sana magamit ito ng maayos at marami ang makinabang.”

During the event, CDA a.i. Ms. Yulia Rachinsky-Spivakov, mentioned President Manuel Quezon who saved Jewish refugees during the Holocaust. “Israel will forever be grateful to the Philippines for that. This is one of our humble ways to pay back,” Ms. Rachinsky-Spivakov said.

The turnover ceremony took place at the Embassy of Israel in Manila on 13 August 2020.

DOH adopts DOST, Ateneo FASSSTER Disease Surveillance Tool

In a ceremonial turnover on Friday, 4 September 2020, the Department of Health (DOH) will formally receive the Feasibility Analysis of Syndromic Surveillance Using Spatio-Temporal Epidemiological Modeler For Early Detection of Diseases, commonly called FASSSTER, as a tool to aid in disease surveillance in the country, including the monitoring of COVID-19.

The disease surveillance tool (FASSSTER) was developed by the Ateneo De Manila University (ADMU), with funding grant from the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD), in 2016, initially for dengue, but which has since been recalibrated as a web-based disease surveillance platform that allows policymakers to understand the outbreaks at the national, regional, and local levels and assess the effects of the preventive measures in place. 

As a disease surveillance tool for COVID-19, the Ateneo Center for Computing Competency and Research (ACCCRe) of ADMU collaborated with the University of the Philippines Manila - National Telehealth Center (UP-NTHC) and the Department of Health-Epidemiology Bureau to develop the technology which is now publicly accessible at https://fassster.ehealth.ph/covid19 and uses localized indices from Philippine health records.

“It is indeed heartwarming to see our experts in FASSSTER actively contributing to public health through research and innovation. I share the pride with our researchers in saying that what started as a modest project in data science has today become a vital support to our healthcare system, especially in these uncertain times,” said DOST-PCHRD Executive Director Dr. Jaime Montoya.

Brandon Vera Excited With Possibility of Facing ‘Monster’ Buchecha in the ONE Circle

Filipino-American ONE Heavyweight World Champion Brandon “The Truth” Vera is spending much needed quality time with his wife Jessica and newborn Atreyu Timothy in Guam amid the pandemic. But ONE Championship’s recent bolster of its heavyweight division has the reigning king enthusiastic about a handful of potential matchups.

One such matchup could possibly come against a recent signing. The promotion announced last week that it had added grappling legend Marcus “Buchecha” Almeida to its ranks. The Brazilian superstar is one of the most prolific Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitors in the world and is widely considered a demigod in the grappling circles.

After hearing the news of Almeida’s signing, Vera says he felt extra motivated to get right to work.

“So I had to look up the proper name, because I only know that monster as Buchecha. He is a phenomenal athlete. I am very lucky to have the opportunity to possibly meet him in the ONE Circle,” said Vera.

“And it’s not just him. ONE signed a plethora of amazingly talented heavyweights. I’m going to train right now!”

One look at Almeida’s grocery list of achievements on the mats can make anyone starstruck. The amount of gold medals and world championship he's won is blinding.

Almeida has 128 victories and only 13 losses in his grappling career, and now, he’s making the shift to the Circle which has fans from both the grappling and mixed martial arts worlds excited.

Vera knows exactly the type of ‘monster’ he could be up against should he meet Almeida in the Circle. “The Truth” is all praises for “Buchecha.”

“I am very familiar with his grappling accolades. He has beaten the best in the world and at any given moment, at any weight, he is one of the top two grapplers in the world against anyone. I am very excited he is making the transition to MMA,” said Vera.

“I think it is the correct progression after you win 13 World Titles in grappling. There is no one else for you to beat there. Looking forward to watching him and maybe even competing against him.”

Vera has held the ONE Heavyweight World Title since 2015, when he captured the inaugural belt with a knockout victory over Paul Cheng. Since then, Vera has defended the title successfully on two occasions, via first-round finishes over Hideki Sekine and Mauro Cerilli.

After a failed bid at light heavyweight against Aung La N Sang, Vera is excited to get back in the Circle and continue his reign of dominance in his natural weight class.

With the possibility of facing “Buchecha” down the line, Vera is confident his jiu-jitsu can hang with the world’s best, and that his overall skills will guide him through if he works hard enough.

“It’s a very welcome challenge. My grappling and jiu-jitsu lineage is full of schools of hard knocks -- from Master Lloyd Irvin, to Dean Lister, to Andre Galvao, my catch-wrestling coach Neil Melanson, and everyone in between. I’m very confident in my jiu-jitsu capabilities,” said Vera.

Though nothing has been finalized as of the moment, the Filipino-American is expected to make his next title defense against India’s Arjan Bhullar, another worthy name in the mix. That bout could come later this year, or in early 2021.

One thing is certain, ONE Championship’s heavyweight division is looking very deep right now, and Vera suddenly has a myriad of tough matchups he could possibly face in the Circle. At this stage in his career, Vera is rejuvenated.

Like always, the 42-year-old veteran is up for the toughest challenges.

“The level of competition has just increased exponentially. ONE Championship is making a very comfortable home for the big boys and giving me a lot of work to do. I’m looking forward to all of it,” said Vera.
