#ThrowbackSeries Donita Rose: Conquering new grounds

Donita Rose, one pretty face who graced local cinema has conquered a new ground, where she can showcase her other expertise as a chef at a Filipino supermarket chain in the US. She left show business in 2020.

The Filipino-American actress, TV host, and former MTV Asia VJ has announced on her Instagram account a few months ago that she’s the new Corporate Research and Development Chef of Island Pacific, which has multiple stores in California and Nevada. Island Pacific is owned by Nino Lim, husband of former actress Krista Ranillo.

She shared on her Instagram: “Many of my closest friends have said that I look much happier these days. I attribute much of it to a job I’m passionate about, financial peace, being closer to loved ones, supportive friends and not to mention, the most amazing fans who shower me with never-ending words of encouragement (many visiting me from all over California to support @chirp.n.oink).”

Her plans of going back to the US since the late 1990s had finally come true.  “Maybe someday, I’ll be able to go back to the US, not really to become a big star because a lot of people say that getting the break in that country is difficult,” she shared from a previous interview.

Donita Rose Cavett in real life was previously married to Eric Villarama (2003), got separated in 2016. They have a son named Joshua Paul. Her American father is from Oklahoma and her Filipina mom is from Pangasinan.

MTV VJ days

Donita related from a previous interview that she was chosen as MTV VJ after passing with flying colors the station’s rigorous audition. Particularly, she was chosen because of her good command of English and her easy-to-get-along-with personality.

To be a VJ she said, love for music must be innate in you. Donita of course is a follower of hip hop, R & B, and fast music. “It wasn’t given to me in a silver platter. I auditioned several times. I just trust in the Lord. I’ve been praying for this job. I think it’s a confirmation that God wants this job for me,” she said from an earlier interview with this writer.

While she was in Singapore and enjoying a career-high, Donita was listed as the 12th “Most Gorgeous” woman by Singapore entertainment magazine, ETC., FHM listed her as well as number seven among “Asia’s Sexiest Women.”

She also did her first international film titled Legacy. In the movie, she was paired with actor-singer David Hasselhoff.

A happy childhood

Donita shared that she had a happy childhood since her family is family-oriented. “We are a close-knit family. My family and my other relatives would meet every day for a little get-together in our backyard,” she recalled. “It was really fun.”

When she was younger, Donita wanted to become a marine biologist. That didn’t materialize of course. “So I just took up scuba diving. I dive every now and then, but that’s basically about it,” she said.

Donita is the eldest in a brood of four. She was born in America where she lived for five years. Then her family moved to Subic, Zambales, and eventually to Manila when Mount Pinatubo erupted in 1991.

An inclination for acting

Donita was encouraged by her mom Adelina Ramos Cavett to enter showbiz. The inclination to act came from her mom who is a singer-dance instructor, and who directs stage play for children. Donita used to appear in stage plays when she was a kid.

She was discovered by the late master showman German Moreno when she went to watch GMA 7’s former shows Lunch Date and That’s Entertainment. Then only 17, Donita was asked by German if she wanted to join the show. And the rest is history.

Donita on-screen is the same off-screen. “I’m a very predictable person. I don’t have major mood swings. And I’m a woman of substance,” she quipped.

A Christian herself, Donita makes it a point to read the Bible every day. “I’ve been raised a Christian all my life,” she pointed out. “Now, I have developed a more personal relationship with the Lord. I talk to Him every day. I feel that He is so near to me.”

Above all else, she experiences a greater sense of security. “I know that one day I’ll go to Heaven. And He is there waiting for me. What I like about my life now is that I don’t have to worry about yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I’m very much secured,” she disclosed.

Donita believes that perseverance has its own virtue. There are certain blessings that come from God. And she’s happy and proud of what she has achieved for herself.

Strong Support Ecosystem for MSMEs Online Business

As society becomes more digitalized, e-commerce plays a significant role in helping groom and grow entrepreneurs who can meet the needs of consumers. More people in the region are coming online, and this number is expected to reach around 380 million by 2026[1]. In order to help brands and MSMEs establish and strengthen their online presence, Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, focuses on developing a strong support ecosystem that makes it simple for them to launch and grow their online business.

This includes enhanced marketing tools, knowledge sharing, and upskilling, as well as sustained guidance from Shopee, to help business owners tap into various markets, increase their monthly average sales, and achieve notable e-commerce growth as a whole.

Shopee Seller Education

Shopee provides the necessary support and seminars to equip aspiring entrepreneurs with the e-commerce knowledge they need to succeed. Just this year, Shopee launched its first Shopee University Summit where industry leaders, successful online sellers, and top brands shared their expertise to help sellers understand the basics of e-commerce and how they can maximize the potential of e-commerce and succeed in growing their business online. The second summit also proved to be a success with 35,000 online viewers. During the summit, participants learned about developing the correct business branding, product photography skills, and leveraging Shopee tools and social media platforms to promote their businesses.

Shopee sellers can also access Shopee’s Seller Education Hub (https://seller.shopee.ph/edu/home) where they can take helpful e-commerce courses, participate in informative webinars, and read articles about shop management, product listings, operation improvements, and other business matters.

All-Around Support from Relationship Managers

In addition to marketing tools readily available for use within the app, Shopee also provides MSMEs with constant guidance on how they can improve and grow their business through highly-trained relationship managers (RMs). To fully support a seller’s growth, RMs push for excellent service and tend to the seller’s inquiries, and sometimes going out of their way to cater to the seller’s e-commerce needs.

Kriszel of M A R E Clothing said that their relationship manager helped them greatly, even encouraging them to join big campaigns to grow their business more. “Our relationship manager was very helpful all throughout our Shopee journey. During big campaigns, we were given ample exposure to in-app features like Shopee Feed. Last 10.10, we earned more than 2,000 followers thanks to Shopee’s feature Feed Freebies. We are very grateful for the guidance we received and it is a big factor in our shop’s success.”

Campaigns that Meet Consumer Demand

In addition, Shopee also supports its sellers through big campaigns as local MSMEs stand to benefit from the increased traffic to supercharge their business growth and scale their online presence. Throughout the region, sellers who participated at the recent 9.9 Super Shopping Day recorded 8X more orders compared to an average day, and this coming  11.11 – 12.12 Big Christmas Sale, Shopee continues to provide sellers with marketing tools to further drive sales. The 11.11 – 12.12 Big Christmas Sale is happening until December 12, 2021, and serves as an opportunity for sellers to provide consumers with promos that include ₱1 deals, free shipping with no minimum spend, and 10% off daily vouchers.

Digital Payment Options with ShopeePay

As digital payments become more integrated into the daily lives of consumers, ShopeePay serves as a multi-functional tool for all their payment needs while providing rewards and safe transactions. Through Shopee’s year-end campaigns like the 11.11-12.12 Big Christmas Sale, ShopeePay will continue to drive greater adoption of digital payments amongst shoppers and merchants, bringing ShopeePay users greater convenience and value while helping businesses access more opportunities in the digital economy.

Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “To grow in e-commerce, brands and businesses need to be committed to their journey and here at Shopee, we ensure that we are here to guide and support them all throughout. This is why we designed our ecosystem to be end to end: onboarding, training, and scaling their business to meet the demands of their customers. The needs of our stakeholders are ever-changing, and this is why we need to keep evolving.”

City of Dreams Manila Reaches 99% Colleague Vaccination Rate

The Safety Seal-certified City of Dreams Manila establishes colleague immunity with 99 percent of its staff fully immunized. The announcement comes timely as the luxury integrated resort gears to welcome more guests and reopen more facilities with the easing of Metro Manila to Alert Level 2.

“We are grateful to our colleagues who have taken the step towards protecting themselves, their families and colleagues, our guests, and the community in general,” says Property President Geoff Andres. Fully vaccinated staff are those who have completed the required vaccine dosage. The resort, which has ordered enough vaccines to vaccinate its staff, is currently inoculating their staff’s dependents. Their children under 18 years old follow suit.

Various initiatives were granted by the resort to encourage the vaccination uptake, including two-day paid leaves on the day of the vaccination and after, to provide rest should the staff experience any post-vax side effects, and continuously re-enforcing the message that the vaccination is a collective effort and a compassionate step towards stemming the spread of COVID-19. Webinars conducted by medical authorities gave staff a better understanding of the benefits of being vaccinated. The resort also allowed time for vaccine confidence to grow, as those who initially hesitated eventually agreed, upon seeing their colleagues get vaccinated, and also provided shuttle service from the resort to the vaccination sites for its team members, and allowed them to get vaccinated during work hours.

Pregnant staff are offered hotel limousine service from their home within a reasonable radius to the vaccination center and back. The resort’s in-house Occupational Health and Safety unit keeps track of the staff’s vaccination status and helps the staff make appointments through available channels. Colleagues who have been off-site were urged early on to get vaccinated in their respective communities where available.

City of Dreams Manila implements a “Play it Safe” campaign, which mandates all colleagues to follow stringent health and safety guidelines throughout the property, including their work areas and in community spaces such as the employees’ dining area.

Pick.A.Roo joins forces with Mayani, doubles down on organic fresh finds

Riding on the wave of an ultra fast-growing Internet economy in the Philippines, the Megaworld-backed lifestyle delivery app Pick.A.Roo creates a formidable team-up with leading agriculture technology platform Mayani in their shared bid of providing on-demand more organic produce at fresher quality to the health-conscious market.

“We partnered up with Mayani because our goal and initiatives are aligned when it comes to promoting local farmers and offering local organic produce. Our mission is to support local businesses and help expand their e-channels thru our app,” says Crystabelle Anne Gonzalez, the Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Pick.A.Roo, which was just launched last August 2020 in the middle of the lockdown.

Gonzalez further remarked that they want their customers to discover a new way of eating healthy through a wide range of organic alternatives, as well as a healthy category for customers to purchase from the comfort of their homes.

Backed by Silicon Valley venture firm AgFunder and Asian family conglomerates, it has also secured key partnerships with the likes of the Department of Trade & Industry to bridge rural farmers to the urban market – a feat that includes its last-mile channel collaboration with Pick.A.Roo.

“We are very bullish in our outlook for on-demand fresh finds, especially organic ones. This strategic alliance ups our game even more as we take on that growing need of the market for locally-grown food amidst a fast-lifestyle,” says Josef Amarra, Mayani’s Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, who also take point for on-demand services.

The team-up combines these forerunners’ strengths not just of operational capability from harvest to delivery, but also of their extensive marketing channels for special promos bringing delight to the moms, health buffs, home kitchen leaders.

Holiday Wish List by Matteo Guidicelli

Actor-singer Matteo Guidicelli, a UNIQLO fan, and endorser of the brand shares his list of LifeWear items for the holidays. “I’m definitely doing my Christmas shopping at UNIQLO since it offers stylish and comfortable pieces for everyone’s everyday clothing needs.”

For his wife, Matteo’s top item is the Women’s Ultra Light Down Jacket, just in time for the cold weather. The jacket can be used as innerwear or outerwear and has a special lining so it’s static-free. For work, the jacket can be paired with the Women’s Rayon Skipper Collar ¾ Sleeve Blouse to add a sophisticated touch and the Women’s Smart Ankle Pants that has a two-way stretch for stress-free comfort.’

Matteo Guidicelli / Courtesy of generationt.asia

Made with soft cotton and volume for a relaxed style, the Women’s Smooth Cotton Dolman ¾ Sleeve Dress is the perfect gift for Matteo’s mom. Its’ loose-fitting cut can be layered with the Women’s HEATTECH Ultra Warm Leggings in case she gets cold this season or when she travels to a cooler destination. It uses bio-warming, insulating, and moisture-retaining features making it 2.25 times* warmer than the regular HEATTECH item.

On the other hand, Matteo is eyeing more formal pieces for his dad to wear to his meetings and special occasions. Called the Ultimate Classic Shirt, the Men’s Oxford Long Sleeve Shirt is made with special yarn to achieve a fabric with a premium feel. It is also pre-washed and pressed for a lasting elegant look that goes well with the Men’s Smart Ankle Pants (Ultra Stretch DRY-EX). This pair of pants has a clean ankle-length cut and is made with DRY-EX material that quickly dries sweat and moisture for a comfortable feel even after a full day’s work. To complete the look is the convenient and versatile Men’s Overshirt Jacket (Jersey).

For his younger brother, he’s thinking of casual looks to go with his daily errands. The Men’s Chino Shorts has a unique texture brought out by slightly brushing the high-density cotton twill material and through a special dyeing and washing process. The fit has been made looser from the thigh to the hem so it is easier to pair with oversized tops like the Men’s Uniqlo U AIRism Cotton Crew Neck Oversized T-Shirt. For slower days at home, Matteo is buying his brother the Men’s AIRism Cotton Set (Short Sleeve) which offers a top and bottom made with AIRism material with dry technology to make it extra soft and comfortable.

*Calculated based on the CLO value that measures heat resistance. Compare to regular HEATTECH.

Cleen and Green: The Eco-friendly Cleaning Service

Mabel Amante-Villena and her husband, Papillon Villena – the Villena’s aspiring business entrepreneurs are first and foremost dutiful parents who strive to always nurture their son in the safest space possible.

Accustomed to a standard level of cleanliness, they became aware, while visiting their home in the Philippines, of the need to create a service lacking in Batangas. The incident happened when Mabel’s husband had an allergic reaction to dust and pollen in the surroundings. Concerned for her family, she suddenly realized that a cleaning service was needed which could provide the people with professional quality cleaning.

Thus, they created a service like no other before-one that fully gives importance to kid and pet safety and those with sensitivities and allergies all while being completely environment-friendly. They then discovered a plant-based cleaning solution that is made from neem, which is known for its antimicrobial, antiparasitic, and anti-viral benefits.

Their vision was materialized as what we now know as Cleen and Green, the eco-friendly cleaning service, and which we also love today. Cleen and Green has impressed everyone with their advanced use of plant-based, non-toxic, non-chemical cleaning solutions, modern cleaning technology and very efficient cleaners that can manage from the ceiling, wall to the floor. They are also known for doing high ceiling cleaning because of their professional cleaners with complete cleaning tools including scaffoldings and high ladders.

Cleen and Green cleaning solutions

Cleen and Green has brought great development to the community since its inception and has inspired all with their mission towards greatness. This company has now become a force of nature in the industry pushing beyond expectations and advancing to new territories.

Starting out with their home with only three cleaners, now they have grown to a good number of cleaners currently assigned to four different locations (Lipa, Cavite, Laguna, and Quezon City) in a span of just one year. Their advancement is clear, as well as their innovative franchise model, actively partnering with overseas Filipinos.  By the looks of it, success is much bigger for C&G in the near future.

Makati City Provided with Unique Panasonic nanoeTM and nanoeTM X Technology for Use in Main Vaccination Site

Panasonic, as part of its global campaign to spread advocacy for cleaner and fresher air for life, recently reached out to the local government of Makati City through a contribution in the form of nanoeTM air purifiers, and nanoeTM X generators, that have been verified to have inhibitory effects on the novel coronavirus*1. The equipment set-up and turnover were done at the main vaccination site of the city located at the Makati Coliseum.

Panasonic Air-Conditioning Philippines CEO Masaru Toyota, Life Solutions Group Country Head Yosuke Tanaka, Makati City Mayor Abigail Binay, and the Head of Makati Incident Command Post Dr. Roland Unson, were present during the site visit.

It has always been the intention of Panasonic to provide cleaner and fresher air to improve the quality of life for everyone with the introduction of the nanoeTM in 1997 and nanoeTM X in 2016.

In 2009, with the help of an independent testing organization, Panasonic verified the effect of hydroxyl radicals contained in the water against bird flu and new strains of influenza, and in 2012, in collaboration with an independent testing organization in Germany, again conducted virus clearance testing that showed effectiveness of the technology against highly resistant viruses and unknown viruses. *2

Just last year, again using an independent testing organization, Texcell*3 – France, further verified the inhibitory effect of Panasonic’s patented nanoeTM X technology on the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19.

The Makati City partnership is part of a bigger program of Panasonic in the Philippines to provide air purifying and anti-covid technology of nanoeTM X in selected sites in the National Capital Region to protect medical front liners and Filipinos in vaccination areas and to make them and the public feel safer with the theme “Bring Back the Filipino Smile”.

Panasonic works hard to bring back the smiles of the unsung heroes of this pandemic, and the Filipino people, for them to feel safer, breathe easier and be more secure to smile once again.

For more information on Panasonic and its patented technologies, please visit https://www.panasonic.com/ph/nanoe

Notes:

*1: based on the Texcell, global contract research organization, verified the inhibitory effect of the nanoe™ X technology with the benefits of hydroxyl radicals on adhered novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) placed in 45L box. Over 99.99% of adhered novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) activity was inhibited within 2 hours.

Note: This verification was designed to generate basic research data on the effects of nanoe™ X on the novel coronavirus in laboratory conditions different from those found in living spaces. It was not designed to evaluate product performance.

 *2: Main releases on verification cases

– May 12, 2009：Positive effects of charged water particles on viruses, bacteria, and agricultural chemicals have been verified.

– October 20, 2009： The new influenza virus inhibition effect of charged water particles has been verified.

– February 20, 2012：Suppression effect of charged water particles on pet-related allergens, bacteria, fungi, and viruses has been verified.

– January 16, 2014：Nano-sized electrostatic atomized water particles effectively break down PM2.5 components and inhibit the growth of fungi attached to Yellow Sand.

 *3: Texcell is a global contract research organization that specializes in viral testings, viral clearance, immunoprofiling and R&D or GMP cell banking, for your R&D, GClP, GLP and GMP projects.

With more than 30 years of experience and roots within the Pasteur Institute in Paris, Texcell has a long-recognized expertise in viral testing with a broad range of protocols for the detection of adventitious agents.

Texcell is the first spin-off of the Pasteur institute of Paris created in 1997.
