Universal Robina Corporation’s Agro- Industrial Group, through its premium farm products unit Robina Farms, was added to the companies that threw to back-up the Fighting Maroons. The University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons will continue to get valuable support from their most loyal and staunchest supporters, the Robinsons Retail Group and Universal Robina Corporation’s Agro Industrial Group (URC-AIG), as they continue their build-up for the upcoming UAAP season and beyond. They officially renewed their partnership recently with Robinsons Retail Holdings, Inc. President and CEO Robina Gokongwei-Pe, and URC-AIG Group Business Unit General ManagerVincent Henry Go, and UP Fighting Maroons Team Manager Agaton Uvero and Head Coach Bo Perasol signing the Memorandum of Agreement at the UP Executive House in Diliman, Quezon City.

Robina Gokongwei-Pe, a UP alumna and avid backer of the Fighting Maroons involved Robinsons Supermarket and Handyman as Fighting Maroons supporters in 2010. Even as UP went winless and won only a total of three games in four seasons (2010-2013), Robina and her group stuck it out with the country’s premier state university in its quest back to relevancy in the field of sports.

“We firmly believe that the UP Fighting Maroons shares the same values as us, such as passion for excellence and loyalty to our stakeholders. As we renew our official support for the men’s basketball team, we want them to continue to imbibe the same things that our company lives by as they seek to surpass last year’s achievement. This upcoming UAAP Season 82, it would be another great privilege to stand by this team together withthe whole UP community.Hoping to exemplify ISKOs values of honor and excellence in every endeavor,” saidVincent Henry Go of AIG’s Robina Farms.

“UP’s run last year is proof that everything is possible. Hopefully, this year’s team will build on what Batch 81 started and bring home the UAAP Championship for the first time since ’86. It’s UP’s time! They should take it. They deserve it,”  said Universal Robina Corporation – Agro Industrial Group’s Marketing Director Jonathan Diño.

“We’re always grateful for all the support we have received from our alumni, especially from Ms. Gokongwei and her group of companies, who have been with us through our ups and downs. This team knows what it’s like to be at the bottom, to lack basic necessities like food and allowances. We are thankful for the faith and loyalty of the Robinsons Retail Group,” said UP head coach Bo Perasol.

The Fighting Maroons fresh from their Championship run in Taiwan’s Buddha’s Light International Association (BLIA) Cup coupled with offseason trainings in Las Vegas and Japan, look to give back to their supporters in Season 82.

Ms. Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo, Celebrity Actress and Champion’s very own endorser

Why Champion? I have many reasons why I changed to Champion, it is budget-wise. Their not the cheapest but affordable one and it is cheaper than the biggest brands where in they all do the same thing so why invest in an expensive brands. Another one is the fragrant, the scent of the Champion leaves the clothes smell like a perfume. Specially now that is rainy season and mostly of our clothes cannot be dried that well, it’s good there is a Champion that makes our clothes smell clean.

Since I’m a Champion user, I am very thankful that I was invited last August 5, 2019 for the launched of the New Champion Supra Power range. Champion has been providing quality detergents to Filipino Mom for more than four decades now and the event was spent paying tribute to Supra Nanays, where the Moms who still manage to care for and provide for their families through their tireless works, sacrifice, and love, day-in and day-out.

During the launched celebrity actress, Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo, Champion’s very own endorser and Supra Nanay interviewed by Ms. Cerah Hernandez-Co, host of the program. Ms. Judy Ann shared her thoughts on Champion Detergent being the only brand for her that’s able to provide her with the high level of cleaning that she and many other Filipino moms need. She also excitedly talked about new Champion Supra Power and her upcoming TV campaign, before providing media guests and partners an exclusive look at her much-awaited TV Commercial which airs on August 13, 2019. This was also followed with a surprisemini-digital-film featuring stories of three Supra Nanays that touched and warmed the hearts of the audience members watching.

Aside from Ms Judy Ann, Champion also invited three celebrity teens namely Ylona Garcia, Heaven Peralejo and Grae Fernandez to talk about their Supra Nanays. Their stories, serving as examples of the types of content Champion hopes to gather for the next phase of their campaign — #SupraPowerNiNanay – where they’ll be asking consumers to submit stories of their Supra Nanays. Chosen stories could then be eventually featured in a mini-docu digital film featuring those real Supra Nanays. With Champion’s new and improved formulation, new packaging for the entire Supra Power range, Champion has quite a lot in store for its consumers for the rest of 2019.

Champion Supra Power available in four fragrance variants:

1. Original Supra Clean

Their now available in stores, ready to deliver the high level of cleaning for “putingwalangbakas” for Supra Nanays nationwide.

Some quotes say, “Jobs fill your pocket but adventures fill your soul.” Everyone loves to travel to make some adventure into his or her lives. However, in traveling, they must remember their safety first. None of the travelers wants to take hitch while traveling. That is why they choose to take insurance with them. They will choose whether Car Insurance or Travel Insurance is the right thing for them or both.

Nevertheless, most of the travelers choose them both to avoid any circumstances.

Car Insurance

Car Insurance companies in Singapore offer three main types of motor insurance policies and two types ofmotor insurance scheme.

Three Main Types of Motor Insurance:

1. Comprehensive car insurance that covers repair or replacement of the vehicle. If it is damaged or lost because of theft, accident, vandalism or weather-related damage.We recommend this type of car insurance if you do not have enough savings to replace the car, or are economically dependent on it.
2. Third-Party, Fire and Theft Cover car insurance covers damage and damage caused to your vehicle by a vehicle or other party’s property, it also covers your vehicle is stolen or damaged by fire. To purchase this policy, you must not have any financial loan for your car. You should also make sure you have enough savings to replace the car, especially if you rely on the economy. For newer cars, it is better to get comprehensive car insurance.
3. Third-Party Cover car insurance covers claims of liability from third parties for injury and damage to their vehicle or property caused by your vehicle. To purchase this policy, you must not have any financial loan for your car. You should also make sure you have enough savings to replace the car, especially if you rely on the economy. For newer cars, it is better to get comprehensive car insurance

In Singapore, there are two types ofmotor insurance scheme. Authorized Workshop or Any Workshop. An authorized workshop is one that has an arrangement with the insurance company and hence the scheme has a lower premium because the insurer has control of the repair cost.A reason for people to choose the “any workshop” scheme is that they have a certain car make, whichcan only be fixed in designated workshops.

Excess, also called deductible, is to the first amount of the claim, which the insured has a bear. If the insured has an excess of $500 and the total repair costs $3,000, then the insured has to pay $500 while the insurer pays the remaining $2,500.

The insurance company normally imposes some excess, as this would serve as a form of co-insurance. With an excess, the insured would tend to be more careful because if claims occur, the insured also has to be out of pocket and contribute towards the claim. In general, the higher the excess, the more careful would be the insured and hence the lower the risk of having a claim, to reduce frivolously (unnecessary and avoidable) claims.

You can choose to pay a higher premium to have lower excess. If you are a PHV (Private Hire Vehicle) driver, you can also ensure the high excess from less than $4.00 a day.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance helps protect you from risks while you are traveling overseas. All policies offer at least basic levels of cover for medical costs, cancellation and lost, damaged or stolen baggage. However, policies’ coverage varies greatly and it is important to check that you have the right insurance for the kind of traveling you plan to do.

Here is the level of cover for the features named above and consider the following:

• Emergency assistance
• Personal liability
• Scheduled airline failure
• Legal assistance
• Travel disruption
• Holiday curtailment

Generally, the single-trip policy covers you for as long as your trip lasts up to a maximum of 180 days. An annual travel policy covers you an unlimited number of trips for an entire year from the policy start date. Such a policy is worthwhile if you are a frequent traveler.

A Family travel insurance Plan will cover children under 18 or if still schooling. This is a much cheaper option to consider when traveling with family.

If you plan to travel several times within a year, annual travel policy covers all your trips and can be far more cost-effective.

The cheapest policy might not have the best coverage, so choose a policy which best suits your needs.
