Buildrite Construction Chemicals officially debuted Readycrete, ready-mix concrete in a bag, and SmartBond Flex, the nation’s first flexible tile adhesive, during the just finished PhilConstruct 2022. For Magna Prime Chemical Technologies, Inc., notably for its brands Buildrite and Sinclair Paints, the launch was a historic occasion since it started a company history of introducing fresh, cutting-edge products at each yearly PhilConstruct event.

Readycrete is the first and only ready-mix concrete in a bag in the Philippines, conveniently giving construction projects a consistent concrete mix they can trust. For tile installation, Buildrite introduced Smartbond Flex, the first ever flexible tile adhesive in the Philippines. SmartBond Flex tile adhesive acts as a shear stress dampener, which prevents the tile adhesive from cracking or losing adhesion,

Readycrete Concrete Mix in a Bag addresses the problem of access to high-strength ready-mix concrete. Builders with small to medium projects are forced to mix their own concrete on-site, which is the primary cause of concrete problems and poor concrete strength. With Readymix, it’s now possible to order ready-mix concrete in a bag regardless of the quantity needed or the location of the jobsite, providing a convenient solution for many construction projects.

SmartBond Flex is the first flexible tile adhesive in the Philippines. Tiles can pop out because of the movements of tiles and substrate during changes in temperature and structural movements. SmartBond Flex tile adhesive acts as a movement absorber or dampener, which then prevents the tile adhesive from cracking or losing adhesion.

Buildrite constantly seeks advancements in construction chemical technology. With the addition of Readycrete and SmartBond Flex to its products, the company will continue to develop more innovative solutions and educate people about cost-efficient, reliable, and sustainable construction chemical products and methodologies.

Don Timothy Buhain, Rex Education chief executive officer; Atty. Joseph Noel Estrada, author; Atty. Dominador Buhain, Rex Education chairman and president; and Danda Crimelda Buhain, Rex Education chief external affairs officer at the book signing of “Code of Ethics of Professional Teachers 2023 Edition”

The 2022 Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP) National Convention is returning in person with Rex Education and a sizable group of educators, school leaders, and superintendents from all over the country after two virtual gatherings during the epidemic.

The 2022 CEAP National Convention will take place in a post-pandemic environment, with the goal of bringing together the knowledge and experiences of schools that are only now beginning to recover from the difficulties of the previous two years. This will enable all educators and students to work together more effectively to advance learning in a progressive and spiritual direction.

The Rex Education Hub showcased REX’s diverse suite of solutions from early childhood education to professional development.

The theme, “Pilgrims of Hope Moving Forward in Synodality,” is inspired from the Holy Year 2025 motto, “Pilgrims of Hope,” which represents the theme of Pope Francis’ pontificate. It also calls upon the journeying together of various members of the education sector as one Church, as prescribed by Pope Francis in his Global Compact on Education message in October 2020.

“To educate is always an act of hope, one that calls for cooperation in turning a barren and paralyzing indifference into another way of thinking that recognizes our interdependence,” said Pope Francis during the speech. “The journey of life calls for hope grounded in solidarity. All change requires a process of education in order to create new paradigms capable of responding to the challenges and problems of the contemporary world, of understanding and finding solutions to the needs of every generation, and in this way contributing to the flourishing of humanity now and in the future.”

Rex Education Hub: A Lifelong Learning Journey

Building on the theme of the 2022 CEAP National Convention, the Rex Education Hub was created for delegates to have a glimpse of every Filipino learner’s lifelong learning journey through rediscovering REX’s diverse suite of solutions from early childhood education to professional development.

The hub was also designed for delegates to feel renewed excitement about learning in all life stages and to collaborate more and innovate further in support of quality education.”

“The journey of life is a journey of learning. At REX, we support Pope Francis and CEAP’s vision for synodality, where every Filipino is moving as one for every learner, so that they are empowered, equipped, and championed.” said Don Timothy Buhain, chief executive officer of Rex Education. “Through the Rex Education Hub at CEAP 2022, we hope we have showcased, yet again, that we are here to support every learner in every phase of their journey.”

Under Early Childhood Education (ECE), REX showcased its educational book titles, anchored on socio-emotional, language, and cognitive skills reflected in the six domains of development in the National Early Learning Framework (NELF) by the Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) Council.

In response to the need for learners to know more about Philippine history, “My Bayani” is REX’s series of storybooks that introduces Filipino heroes to inspire self-analysis and reflection.

Basic Education continues to be the foundation of many learners’ development journey. From kindergarten to senior high school, REX worktexts are applicable across disciplines and integrate values and character formation for holistic development. Other learning solutions such as “My Skill Builder,” “My Career Journey,” and “Laro, Likha, Linang” are supplementary and equally comprehensive materials that further support the Filipino learners throughout their learning journey.

Moreover, after the pandemic reinforced digital solutions as non-negotiable in education, REX continued to build on the importance of digital resources. REX offers Schoology, a learning management system, and standardized assessments such as Digital Aces and Harrison Assessments as great tools that help mold learners who are ready for the demands of the 21st century.

REX also further guides students as they step into higher education. Relevant and evidence-based solutions and up-to-date contents based on real-life applications are at the core of REX’s learning materials to prepare students as they choose and build their careers.

As a lifelong learning partner to law students and practitioners, REX not only creates books, but also opportunities for mentoring and talks or conversations. A book signing with Atty. Joseph Noel Estrada, author of Code of Ethics of Professional Teachers, was held on-site on October 27, 2022.

As learning continues beyond formal education, REX’s suite of professional learning materials are intended for those who are looking to level up their journey and contribute to nation-building. Aside from various legal materials, REX’s solutions include the Barangay Handbook, designed for public servants to help them advance their knowledge and skills as they carry out their tasks for the benefit of their constituents.

REX also highlighted their partnership across several promotional and educational campaigns with Edukasyon.ph, an organization dedicated to developing EdTech products and services that bridge the gap between teaching and learning in the digital world.

CEAP 2022: A Renewal of Commitment to Edukampyons

In 2022, REX will once again take part in the CEAP National Convention as part of its ongoing commitment to support education and serve as a lifelong learning partner for all learners.

“As Edukampyons, we always protect, respect, and fulfill the needs of every Filipino learner. We can only do this when we work together with our educators, school heads and administrators, and stakeholders—fellow Edukampyons, who can help us move forward for a progressive education for our nation,” said Buhain.

The CEAP 2022 conference took place from October 25–28, 2022, at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City. Both online and in-person delegates attended concurrent sessions, Eucharistic celebrations, the swearing-in of the newly elected CEAP National Board officers, and the presentation of the Pro Deo et Patria Awards.

Filipinos recall Sinclair for its iconic 80s and 90s campaign, which encouraged more individuals to perform their own house improvements. The motto “Sinclair it!” from the company became synonymous with the word “do-it-yourself” or “DIY”. which throughout the years has made the brand a household name. Sinclair has stayed true to its objective of offering top-notch paint products to countless families and businesses around the world over the past few years.

Sinclair is making its return to the local market with a wider and more sophisticated selection of products that offer beauty, durability, affordability, and eco-friendly solutions suitable for every Pinoy home as a result of technological advancements and as the market for construction development remains competitive.

The New Generation of Sinclair

With the reopening of the local market, Sinclair’s timely return will fire up the local competition with its latest premium products that continue the legacy that it started.

Aside from its Traditional or Classic Paint selection that made Sinclair one of the world’s pioneer and trusted brands, Sinclair highlights its innovation with its modern technology paint system, from oil-based to water-based paint and universal colorants.

“We’re delighted to bring back the brand that provided beauty, protection, and comfort to many Filipinos over the past years. With Sinclair’s new line of products – from oil-based to water-based – customers can assure continued premium quality products that will last for a long time while keeping the environment safe and sound,” Mr. Derick Tan, Founder, and CEO of Magna Prime Chemical Technologies, Inc., the company that manufactures Sinclair in the Philippines.

Sinclair’s new generation of paint products highlights its waterproofing innovation that made the paint system more economical, easier to apply, and durable. Inspired by the beauty and long-lasting capability of nature, these new generation paints are made suitable for the tropical weather system in the Philippines on top of the climate change we’re experiencing:

Natica Waterproofing Paint – Inspired by the abundant marine shells in the Philippines, this waterproofing paint possesses marine shells’ thick and smooth features that represent durability and protection. Made of modified pure acrylic paint, this latest innovation of Sinclair is used as a water-proofer, primer, sealer, and top coat making it more cost-efficient than the traditional method of waterproofing and painting exterior walls.

Armadillo Polyurethane Paint – inspired by the New World placental mammal, this Armadillo Polyurethane Paint is the first water-based PU Paint in the Philippines takes pride in being a tough and flexible paint just like an armadillo skin. Recommended to use for high-rise buildings to avoid frequent repainting or costly paint over because of its durability.

Tamago Cleanable Interior Paint – Sinclair’s take on the sheen of an egg – or Tamago (卵/玉子) in the Japanese language – is made to provide a sleeker yet manageable look for home and establishment’s interiors. Made to provide a clean and cleanable look, its simple yet calming effect is achieved with its balance of flat and glossy while protecting your walls or hiding wall imperfections.

Taro Silicone Paint – Is the first silicone paint in the country. With the wet season taking over almost half of the year in the Philippines, rainwater has become one of the main reasons why paint fails to protect many homes and establishments. With Sinclair’s Taro Silicone Paint, families and establishments can have peace of mind any season due to its impregnating capabilities. Impregnation happens when the paint penetrates through the pores of the substrate thus enhancing its adhesion. It also has high-performance formula creating high-vapor permeability that allows water vapor to escape from the surface, avoiding the build-up of algae and fungus that cause paint to peel off. This paint is suitable for structures located in highlands, beside seashores, and areas where wall moisture is present.

More Options to Choose From

Aside from the New Generation paints, Sinclair also levels up its Classic Paint selection which ranges from oil-based to water-based paints that provide equal beauty and protection to various surfaces.

Ligno – this waster-based wood primer is ideal for priming, sealing, and filling wooden substrates that help prevent tannins and stains. An eco-friendly product, this paint has low odor, low volatile organic compounds, and is non-toxic.

Rhino – for those metal surfaces, this Sinclair water-based metal primer and top coat provide a two-in-one purpose that saves time and money. This paint has excellent corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor applications, ideal for new or weathered galvanized metal, steel, and aluminum roofing surfaces, properly prepared or treated ferrous metal, garages and fences, machines and industrial equipment, pipelines, and tanks.

Cascara – for multi-surface paint, the Sinclair Cascara is an eco-friendly, high-gloss, low-odor, water-based paint ideal as a topcoat for wood, metal, and concrete on interior and exterior areas.

Sinclair is also sparking more colors to its Filipino customer through its colorants products that are made to provide good color retention without losing the glossiness of the base paint. Along with its New Generation paints, Sinclair is also launching Chameleon Colorant, which is dubbed as the universal colorant that gives accurate blend and color preference. Chameleon Colorants are specially formulated using special types of chemicals and pigments to ensure that they can blend homogenously either with water-based, solvent-based or epoxy-based type of paints.

Mr. Derrick Tan

“With more Filipinos enjoying DIY home projects, Sinclair paint products that are highly recommended by professionals are made to spark creativity and freedom, while providing protection, peace of mind, and value to Pinoy’s hard work and money,” Mr. Tan concluded.

During PHILCONSTUCT 2022, Sinclair Paint officially returned to the Philippine market. Visit https://www.magnaprime.com.ph/product-category/sinclair for more information on the items made by Sinclair.

There has been a significant shift in the previous several years in the shopping habits of customers. Filipino shoppers are now conducting the majority of their shopping online, trying on garments virtually, adding items to virtual shopping carts, and checking out their purchases with swipes and clicks as opposed to pushing trolleys through grocery aisles and trying on clothes in actual boutiques.

Furthermore, this tendency is here to stay as more and more customers realize the convenience of being able to buy anywhere and get simple access to technology and digital tools. Home Credit Philippines, the lifestyle partner of every Filipino, is collaborating with Lazada Philippines to give Filipinos a more enjoyable and convenient shopping experience in order to stay up with this trend and the rising customer expectations.
