The True Meaning of Support

Typhoon Yolanda left the country with almost 6,000 people dead, more than 2 million families affected and P34 million worth of properties destroyed. But despite the devastation it caused, Typhoon Yolanda did not break the Filipino spirit. If for anything, it has revealed just how truly resilient Filipinos are. Just as important, this calamity has also displayed the emphatic nature of humanity. The outpouring support from around the Philippines and all over the world gave the victims encouragement and strength to rebuild their homes, their families and their lives.

 

SYKES is one with the rest of the world in responding to Visayas’ call for help. Days after the storm has passed, the call center quickly organized a donation drive and reached out to different organizations for relief efforts. Some of the employees even took it upon themselves to volunteer in the repacking and delivery of the relief goods. The SYKES site in Cebu also set up a feeding program for the Yolanda victims. SYKES maybe a global company but the bayanihan spirit is evident. Seeing employees donate not just food and water, but also their time and effort is truly moving.

 



 

But so much more is needed to be done. One has to look beyond the immediate needs of the people in Leyte, Samar and Tacloban and start thinking long-term. That is why SYKES employees voluntarily given their team building funds to help.  SYKES, as a company has also pooled together funds to donate. SYKES has raised nearly 2 million pesos for the victims. These funds will be used in rebuilding efforts of the affected areas – from the reconstruction of schools and clinics to initiating livelihood projects. SYKES is committed to helping the typhoon victims recover and be back on their feet.

 

In a company gathering, Mike Henderson, the Senior Vice-President of the APAC region, personally thanked the employees. “To every SYKESer here, thank you. Thank you for supporting not just the company, our clients  or your fellow SYKESers. Thank you for extending your support to the victims of Typhoon Yolanda. Thank you for the donations---cash and material needs. Thank you for your spirit of volunteerism. Thank you for contributing your team building funds and some from their own personal pockets. This is the essence of support. Again, thank you. “


Mocha Girls at Uno Mag!

If you think that the Mocha Girls are just a simple girl group that gets TV time by looking pretty and sexy on variety shows, think again.

There is more to the Mocha Girls than just skin-deep attraction.

Landing on the cover of UNO, the ultimate guide for men in the Philippines, proves there is more to them than just scintillating looks and come-hither moves.

This all-girl pop group has seen its share of beautiful faces come and go. One thing that has remained constant is the founder and the person who lent her name to the group, ringleader Mocha Uson. She is fiery, spirited, and a true leader.



 

Mocha says what keeps the group going is the drive to reinvent itself. The current members were not there when Mocha Girls started seven years ago. But Mae, Franz, Seika, Georgina, Jhane together with Mocha have found a way to use each other's strengths and complement them to form a cohesive, well-oiled pop group that thrives on reinvention.

Mae uses her sweet personality to create the group's choreography; Franz comes across as the anti-thesis to pop with her naughty hip-hop moves; Jhane is both rocker-chic and alluring belly dancer; Seika provides the J-Pop flavor; Georgina brings the fashionista model to the stage and bringing it all together is Mocha, post-modern feminist and superwoman in one sexy, smart package.

Because of the versatile talent the girls bring to the group, Mocha Girls has earned its share of awards for their pop hits. With every new song they have released they continue to prove they are not a one-hit girl-group wonder. No wonder then that they bagged Best Dance Album in the 2009 PMPC Star Awards for Music for Deliciosa and Best Dance Album in the 2012 PMPC Star Awards for Music for 18+ Restricted.

In this issue of UNO magazine, readers and Mocha Girls fans will be treated to a veritable visual feast of the girls in different titillating poses. With lots of skin bared too. It's like Christmas all over again. From racy poses to barely there clothing, the girls show that they can manage to capture a guy's attention while sharing something sensible about themselves in the process.

The sharing by each member is what makes this UNO issue even more special. The informative featurettes on each member of the group provide a rare glimpse into how the girls think, how they feel about things and situations around them...think of it as a one-on-one date with a girl you like.

The girls even let readers in on their recent escapades abroad with an exclusive behind the scenes peek at their Japan and Canada tours.

And the surprise bonus? The issue contains a free calendar inside, featuring, of course, the Mocha Girls.

Go ahead, treat yourself to a dose of Mocha and her girls. It's gonna be well worth it to find out what gets these six ladies going, moving, and rising up.

No More Bad Hair Day with Céleteque DermoScience Hair & Scalp Care Clarifying Shampoo

Did you know that the scalp is also part of the skin? It is actually the thickest skin in the human body and it also needs proper care to give you healthy and beautiful hair. Now, Céleteque DermoScience gives you special care for your hair and scalp with its new clarifying shampoo.

The Céleteque DermoScience Hair & Scalp Care Clarifying Shampoo is a once-a-week wash that helps get rid of residue buildup on your scalp.

Residue buildup is caused by constantly using hair care products such as shampoos, conditioners, gels, waxes, hair polishes and sprays. These products combined with excess oil and dirt on the scalp, can cause clogged hair cuticles, which may lead to dry and brittle hair. It also makes hair dull, greasy, feel heavy and difficult to manage because residue buildup prevents your roots from absorbing nutrients.

Using the Céleteque DermoScience Hair & Scalp Care Clarifying Shampoo once a week will unclog follicles to allow fresh moisture and nutrients to penetrate hair cuticles. After using the clarifying shampoo, you’ll notice that your regular shampoo will work even better for you and you can enjoy having hair that is healthy-looking and manageable.

It’s time you pay more attention to your scalp and clarify your hair once a week with the Céleteque DermoScience Hair & Scalp Care Clarifying Shampoo.

Céleteque DermoScience has 7 other skin care lines for different skin types and concerns. The Hydration line for expert moisturization; Acne Solutions line for Acne-prone and oily skin; Brightening line for those who want luminous and even-toned skin; Sun Care line for double sunscreen protection against UVA/UVB rays; Advanced Anti-aging line to diminish the signs of premature skin aging; Restorative line for lifting aging skin; and the Maternity line for OB-Gynecologist certified skincare products.

About Yoshinoya

Yoshinoya was born in 1899 under the ingenuity of its founder, a Japanese, named Eikichi Matsuda.   Our story begins at Nihonbashi, a humble fish market in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, on the outskirts of Edo Castle where Mr. Matsuda created a delicious recipe of beef and rice known as Gyudon (beef bowl).  Named for his birthplace of Yoshino-Cho, Osaka, Mr. Matsuda’s restaurant featured delicious, affordable and fast meals. It was an entirely new concept in Japanese culture, and both the hard-working fisherman and market visitors embraced it. Yoshinoya was an instant hit. In 1923, Japan was hit by the Great Kanto Earthquake  and Yoshinoya  had to move to Tsukiji with the rest of the fish market and throngs of hungry patrons continued to enjoy Yoshinoya’s original gyūdon, or Beef Bowl. 
 
In 1946, Mizuho Matsuda, son of Eikichi Matsuda, turned the business into a 24-hour restaurant and rapidly gained wide spread popularity in Japan. In 1958, it became a corporate company operating on a chain store system. Yoshinoya boasts of more than 100 years of tradition. Yoshinoya has grown to be one of the most important brands in Japan and boasts of more than 1,000 outlets, making it one of the biggest fast-food chains in Japan. To date, there are more than 1200 outlets around the world, namely Japan, USA, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia and the Philippines.   Soon, it will open in Thailand and Vietnam as part of its expansion program in the Asian region.

Yoshinoya’s logo, the “bull horn” was invented by Yoshinoya’s Mizuho Matsuda, with orange as its main color and has been adopted as Yoshinoya’s log since 1899.  The idea of the “bull horn” logo was derived from the initial letter of Yoshinoya “Y) while the rope surrounding the horn represents “Yokozuna” ranking (winner) in Japanese sumo-wrestling, also representing the Yokozuna quality of our food.  The surrounding rope is made of 27 rice grains and the whole log means Yoshinoya sells the “best beef bowls”

BRANCHES
There are currently six branches in Metro Manila:  SM MEGAMALL, SM MALL OF ASIA, SM MANILA, SM NORTH EDSA, ROBINSONS GALLERIA, AND GLORIETTA 1.
