The most-attended Halloween event in the country happened last October 26, 2019 at the CCP Complex Pasay City. Run4UrLifeseries, under RED Sports by RED Entertainment, concluded their Halloween fun run event and night party - Shake, Rattle & Run: Engkan2 - with more or less 2,000 participants.

Casino Filipino made Shake, Rattle & Run: Engkan2 possible as the official presenter alongside RED Sports by RED Entertainment.

During the event, PAGCOR’s Assistant Vice President for Marketing Mr. Hector Melencio thanked all the runners who chose to spend their Halloween celebration at Shake, Rattle & Run: Engkan2. “On behalf of Casino Filipino, our partners from RED Entertainment, Red Sports, and to all event partners, thank you for spending this night with us,” he said.

Activities and Giveaways from Casino Filipino

Runners were able to interact with Filipino mythological monsters such as the manananggal,kapre, "duwende,"white lady, black lady, diwata, vampires, and other famous movie horror characters.

This year, aside from product giveaways from other event sponsors, participants also received Php500 game coupons that they can use in any Casino Filipino outlets.

Moreover, RED Sports and Casino Filipino held a costume competition that participants happily took part in. A creepy Valak went in third place while Mr. Bean ignited childhood nostalgia, placing in second. A realistic Annabelle doll sat on her rocking chair, winning first place.

To make the Halloween experience more fun for kids and kids-at-heart, they went trick or treating in every booth, gaining candies, chocolates, and lollies along the way!

At the latter part of the event, actress-TV host Regine Tolentino led the Zombie Zumbathon, cooling down the runners and participants. As the concluding part of the event, DJ Carlo Granadil definitely rocked the stage as participants and organizers alike partied the night away.

Fun Run for Dialysis PH

As part of RED Sports’ advocacy, part of the proceeds will go to Dialysis PH, a support group for Chronic Kidney Disease patients. This means that all runners had the opportunity to help people in need while getting fit and enjoying the creeps of the said Halloween event.


RUN4UrLife Series of RED Sports by RED Entertainment advocates fun in fitness through concept-centric fun run events. In its first year, RED Sports has produced Singles Run, SongkRUN, Festival Run, and Sharp Run For Every Juan under the RUN4UrLife series — making it the fast-rising sporting event company in the Philippines,

OneOkada expands its health and wellness services with the state-of-the-art machines powered by Japan Technology

OneOkada is known for its unique health and wellness products such as the famous Black Garlic which has been proven to fight cancer cells and boost the immune system and the Camu-camu Extract which is said to have the most Vitamin C content.

But OneOkada is not yet through in discovering more to help the sick and to help people avoid being sick. This is why just last October, 2019; they introduced another machine which helps kill cancer cells through Microwave Energy Therapy or COMET. This therapy uses heat to kill cancer cells, while leaving normal cells intact.

I was able to talk with some of the patients who are undergoing the therapy and they are proof that COMET is very different from the radiation technology or chemotherapy that most of the hospitals are using nowadays. With COMET, they can go on and live a normal life after therapy - no vomiting, no nausea, no hair loss, no loss of appetite, no fatigue, etc.

One of the patients who is a teacher actually doesn't look like she is sick. She can even travel from Quezon City to Rizal after the treatment despite the fact that she has stage 4 breast cancer since May 2019. She was on her 4th therapy with COMET on the first week of November and I can't sense any negative vibes from her, aside from she got emotional while I was interviewing her. 

Apart from the COMET machine, the Oneokada Wellness Hub has Portable Scanner detection of abnormal cells of the whole body. The scanner can read even your DNA and can project what ailment you might encounter 5 years from now.

They also have this gadget which measures vital signs by just holding a rod. Another machine that is really amazing is the one that eliminates free radicals by just sitting on a bag attached to it for 30 mins.

OneOkada Wellness Hub, was almost full at around 4PM. There are a lot of patients putting their trust in the machines and the products being offered by OneOkada. They are not first-time customers, they are loyal customers who have proven how effective the products are whether as health maintenance or cure to their health problems.

OneOkada is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 4, 2017. OneOkada International Corporation is a Distribution Company of health and wellness products located at the heart of Quezon City, with business address at Unit 803 Triumph Square Building, 1618 Quezon Avenue Quezon City.

Lamudi's Philippine Real Estate Conference 2019: Shaping the Future of Real Estate

On October 17, 2019, Lamudi successfully held The Outlook Real Estate Conference 2019 at the Makati Shangri-La, bringing together industry thought leaders from all over the country to talk about the hot topics in the Philippine real estate sector.

The Outlook: Philippine Real Estate Conference 2019, with co-presenters Philippine Daily Inquirer Property and Holcim Philippines, provided an avenue for insightful discussion spanning a wide range of topics from sustainability to alternative ways of investing in real estate.

The major sponsors for the event are the International Workplace Group and SMDC, and the official TV partner is Cignal TV. The Outlook Conference has also teamed up with event partner Subdivision and Housing Developers Association (SHDA), and media partners Philippine Daily Inquirer Property, Business Mirror, Business World, Malaya Business Insight, Manila Standard, and Philippine Star.
The Role of Developers in Making the Philippines More Sustainable

The Outlook Conference started strong with its first track, “Taking Sustainable Action: Addressing Climate Change Through Real Estate,” where moderator Cathy Saldaña, Managing Director of PDP Architects, steered the conversation into a topic dear to her heart. The panel revealed that though different companies are already pioneering efforts to use solar energy, waste management, and water recycling to be more sustainable, there is a need to adopt a more global, top-down approach to initiate change that will last.

The panelists for this track were Cecilia Domingo, Vice-President and Head of Meralco; Gian Carlo Valerio, Chief Executive Officer of Solana Land; Ram Maganti, SVP for Marketing and Innovations of Holcim Philippines Inc.; and Gay Santos, a financial inclusion specialist/advocate.

The Philippines is blessed with sun and rain, Saldaña noted, both of which can be harnessed as sources of energy. Maganti also mentioned the scarcity of fresh water, prompting the company to use recycled water as part of their sustainability efforts. Domingo talked about the residential and commercial efforts started by Meralco and its subsidiaries, from solar panels to e-sakay as an initiative. According to Domingo, the Meralco compound has already banned single-use plastic, and are active in tree-planting initiatives for carbon reduction.

Real Estate Marketing for a Younger Market

The second track, “New-Age Customer Experience: Transforming Real Estate Marketing in the Age of Disruption,” moderated by Deborah Ong, Head of Corporate Partnerships at Lamudi, explored the role of disruption in shaping a new breed of real estate clients along with strategies that should be adapted to thrive in this new consumer environment. The panel discussed the “end” of the mall to give way to online shopping, and how this prediction years ago failed to take into account the adaptability of Filipinos to change. What could have ended an industry sparked disruption, giving rise to the changes in the way people do business and how consumers consume. 

The panelists for this track were Thomas Mirasol, General Manager of Federal Land; Marco Antonio, President & CEO of Century Properties; Tek Samaniego, Property Editor of Philippine Daily Inquirer Property; Jose Soberano III, CEO of Cebu Landmasters; and Eugene Lozano, First Vice President for Sales and Marketing for Megaworld Corporation.

Lozano, who has witnessed the transition from traditional to digital marketing, said there is now a focus on Google Analytics. 

To successfully implement these changes, Lozano mentioned the importance of informing key people in the team. 

“We’ve been very busy re-training, providing lectures and materials to different key people just to keep up with the digital transformation of marketing strategies nowadays.” 

“The consumer today is more demanding,” Ong noted.

“And they really want to get their money’s worth,” Samaniego added.

Uncovering New Real Estate Sales Strategies

“Fresh Perspectives: Mapping Evolving Real Estate Sales” was moderated by Bhavna Suresh, Chief Executive Officer of Lamudi. The third track leaned towards preparing the sales team for new business models, strategies, and practices that improve how real estate is offered to customers. The panelists mentioned the importance of likability and trustworthiness, the human touch, malasakit, and thinking beyond after-sales.

The panelists were David Rafael, President & CEO of Aboitiz Land; Beth Ventura, President of Anchor Land Holdings, Inc.; Ricardo Lagdameo, First Vice President of Damosa Land; and
Raphael Felix, President of Phinma Properties Inc. and Subdivision and Housing Developers Association (SHDA). 

Rafael admitted to wondering about the future of real estate. “Will we ever reach a point where people would buy property the way they buy food from Foodpanda or they buy a shirt from Lazada?” 

Upon pondering, however, Rafael has come up with an answer: “At the end of the day, the human person buying property will really still need to talk to a human person.” 

Startups and Their Exploration of the Sharing Economy

“Paradigm Shifts: Exploring the Sharing Economy in Philippine Real Estate” explored the changing Philippine conditions and the rise of startups that have led to the growth of the sharing economy. Eric Manuel, of Arch Capital Management, moderated the track, which discussed the commute as a major pain point for residents who eventually decide to move to co-living spaces. The very young population of the Philippines wants to be measured by their performance, not their timesheet. Co-working spaces, on the other hand, allow young professionals to expand their network.

The track’s panelists were Jelmer Ikink, Group Director of MyTown; Nick Padilla, Co-founder, CEO & Space Captain of Kahon.ph; Paul Rivera, Co-Founder & CEO of Kalibrr; and Lars Wittig, Country Manager Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, S. Korea for International Workplace Group.

Shared spaces answer the tenants’ need to escape the commute. Ikink further noted that the future of work, especially its definition, will change over time and to address this, they are working towards a zero-commute lifestyle. This means working, living, and all amenities will be in the same space.

Choosing Investments: From POGO to Property

“Changing Face: Uncovering Alternative Ways to Invest in Real Estate” zeroed in on the drivers of investor demand, the new investment opportunities available in the market, and how the market can tap into these to encourage a robust real estate economy. The moderator, Cignal TV’s news anchor Danie Laurel, asked about the viability and sustainability of POGO as an investment. Panelists also recommend diversifying as a smart way to invest. 

The fifth and final track’s panelists were Richard Raymundo, Managing Director of Colliers; Mikko Barranda, Associate Director of Leechiu Property Consultants Inc.; Iluminada Sicat, Assistant Governor of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas; and Noel Rapadas, Senior Vice President and Chief Finance Officer of Torre Lorenzo.

Sicat presented an interesting fact that will help guide investors in diversifying their portfolio: “We did an assessment of the impact of POGOs on the price of our residences. There was a sudden increase in the price of rent, but if you look at the net contribution of POGOs, it’s not that big, actually.”

Raymundo also noted that if POGOs did not come, “the rents would have corrected anyway.”

Rapadas mentioned that there is still a long way to go for these kinds of investments to be sustainable. He urged investors to look at what drives prices up, and suggested following a fixed plan to see growth. Rapadas also said that despite the increase in the prices of real estate, the Philippines is still relatively cheap compared to other places for investment in Asia.

Projects Shaping the Filipino Community 

Keynote speaker Vince Dizon, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), shared the plans for New Clark City as part of the Build, Build, Build program. New Clark City is planned to be the Philippines’ first smart, green, and resilient metropolis.

The Outlook Real Estate Conference also gave a platform to Virlanie Foundation, a private, non-profit and non-sectarian organization reaching out to marginalized children and communities in the Philippines. Lamudi and Virlanie launched a partnership program, Cherish-A-Home Fundraising, to help the disadvantaged, abused, neglected, and abandoned children through in-kind and cash donations that will improve their quality of life in any of the foundation’s eight homes. 

The Outlook Conference: Future Forward

Lamudi’s The Outlook: Philippine Real Estate Conference 2019 gathered real estate thought leaders to share their insights on the pressing topics facing Philippine real estate today. The event leads up to Lamudi’s Outlook Awards: The Philippine Buyers’ Choice Property Awards scheduled on November 14, 2019, at the Makati Shangri-La, where property developers from all over the Philippines gather to celebrate the outstanding achievements that shaped the country and steered it to a greener future.

The winners of the awards are determined by a panel of judges and a survey involving 10,000 active property seekers.

Dermcare's 30th year : proof that an original is worth more than a hundred copies

Being in the industry for almost three decades, Dermcare is undeniably one of the leading names when it comes to beauty, health, and wellness.

Presscon at the Belle and Dragon restaurant in Makati

During the presscon for the company's 30th year in the business, President and CEO of the Dermcare Group, Ms. Zenaida E. Palisoc shared that her passion for beauty started when she was still young. At her young age, she is aware that aging is inevitable; but she also believed in growing older gracefully, with ageless beauty that glowed from within - and that gave birth to Dermcare.

Madam Zeny had always wanted to look beautiful and at her best. Even as a teenager, she was determined to find products and treatments that would help her with her dark, problematic skin. As the years went by, she tried almost every local and imported beauty product that promised her a fairer complexion and would help keep her skin clean, supple, and fresh. Finding most of those products unsatisfactory and lacking, she finally realized it made more sense to develop those products herself, because she knew exactly what she and most women wanted.

Pioneering Affordable Skin Care and Treatments for Filipinos

Madam Zeny’s love affair with beauty, health, and wellness began in 1989 when she and her husband, then Board Director of the Livelihood Foundation under the Office of the President, the late Joselito L. Palisoc, established ZET Pharmaceuticals and Dermcare Professional Skin, Hair, and Spa.

Madam Zeny and Sir Tito Palisoc opened their first Dermcare branch, a combination pharmacy and skin clinic, in a 20sqm space along Taft Avenue, where they catered to a niche market of Filipinos who were looking for top-of-the-line specialty skincare preparations and treatments at affordable prices.

That small clinic pioneered the whitening business in the country, and under the hands-on care and supervision of Madam Zeny, has now grown to be a trusted brand with more than 100 branches spread out across the Philippines.

Building The Business

The growth of Dermcare hasn’t been all posh and glamour. Madam Zeny dedicated years of hard work, commitment, and sacrifice to bring the brand to where it is today. After Sir Tito passed away, she invested herself even more into the business, to the extent of training under a dermatologist to learn how to give facials herself. Later on, when Dermcare started offering massage services, she trained to become a licensed massage therapist through the Department of Health and London’s CIBTAC (Confederation of International Beauty Therapists and Cosmetologists). Recently, with the rapid growth and expansion of the business, she got over her initial apprehension of going back to school and secured for herself a Masters in Entrepreneurship at the Ateneo Graduate School of Business where she graduated as a gold medalist.

This discipline and dedication to the craft is instilled into each and every Dermcare employee.

Before they are even fielded out to their assigned branches, they are all flown to Manila to undergo a comprehensive and rigorous one-month training sessions including Human Anatomy and Physiology. 

Therapists are trained directly by Dermcare’s medical director and resident dermatologist, who ensures that by the end of the session, these employees will have made a firm commitment to adhere to the quality and performance standards that the company has set for the business.




#WeDoCare

Aiming to become the preferred brand in the beauty, health, and wellness industry, Dermcare has resolved to provide its customers with innovative products and services that are responsive to their needs and lifestyles. There is constant product research and development, upgrading, and training to ensure that all business units – including its products, services, and people – remain attuned to, if not ahead of the quickly transforming market.


Madam Zeny is quick to point out that Dermcare has persevered through two global crises, has grown exponentially, and has become a respected trust brand because the organization is made up of passionately caring professionals with years of skills and experience, who all want to make a difference in the lives of others. These people are the cornerstones of Dermcare’s success throughout the years.

30 Gorgeous Years

On its 30thyear in the market, Dermcare is now celebrated as a one-stop-shop beauty, wellness, and rejuvenation center, continuously delighting its clientele with safe and effective skin, hair, and body care products and services at a superior value. The brand itself has become synonymous with the diamond peel, which they also pioneered and is still its bestselling service, along with whitening treatments, pimple control, and anti-aging treatments.

And as it continues to innovate, transform, and lead the industry, Dermcare has expanded to offer even more specialized care for its growing clientele. Aside from its flagship brands – DermcareProfessional Skin Hair and Spa and the Dermcare Luxe Wellness and Spa – the Dermcare Group now includes Brow Hub and the Belle La Peau Waxing Salon, which were designed to deliver highly personalized services for discerning customers.

Together, Dermcare, Brow Hub, and Belle La Peau – led by Madam Zeny Palisoc and carried through by the men and women who make up the Dermcare Group – are all geared up and excited to carve out even more milestones into the beauty, health, and wellness industry.

On December 9, 2019; Dermcare will have a grand celebration of their 30 years in the industry at the Manila Hotel. It will be directed by none other than Direk Raymond Villanueva, a well-respected and famous veteran fashion show director in the country.

Congratulations, Dermcare!

Lazada Collaborates with Five Renowned Milk Companies to to ensure hassle-free, worry-free online shopping of Milk Products

There are a lot of milk brands in the market, and the wide variety brings confusion and worry to parents; whether buying online or via the physical store. You can't blame parents for being skeptical when it comes to formula milk because the health of their kids is the one at risk if they would get a non-authentic product from the store.

While online shopping is the most convenient way for Moms to buy milk products, it worries them at the same time if what they are buying is from a trusted source. Good thing Lazada launched The LazMall Milk Guarantee program which provides moms with the convenience and full confidence to purchase milk formula online. The program is a partnership with renowned milk companies namely Nestle, Wyeth, Reckitt Benckiser Abbott, and Nutricia, to assure consumers that only high-quality, authentic and fresh milk are available on Lazada’s LazMall platform.

In conceptualizing the program, rigorous market research was done to better understand key concerns related to milk formula purchasing for mothers. The findings include milk product authenticity and expiry dates, reliability of sellers of such products and long delivery lead times. 

 

Through close consultation with milk company partners, Lazada developed a robust set of guidelines and protocols that led to the advent of LazMall’s Milk Guarantee Program. This program guarantees the highest standards are applied for milk handling, storage, and delivery of milk products.

Emma Chavarot, Chief Business Officer of Lazada Philippines, said, “Lazada is the first and only e-commerce platform in the country to offer 100 percent guaranteed fresh and authentic milk products for online purchase. Together with our esteemed milk company partners, we are pleased to launch the LazMall Milk Guarantee Program, a product of our close collaboration and our commitment to safeguard and maintain high-quality standards. With busy mom lifestyles, we hope to provide more convenience and ease of mind when taking care of important things like buying fresh and authentic milk for their children.”


What Lazada’s Milk GuaranteePromises Moms

• Authenticity

Only infant milk formula, growing up milk and maternal milk from official brands and official distributors in the Philippines are sold on Lazada’s LazMall platform. All milk products are 100 percent authentic and are sourced directly from the milk brands.

• Freshness

The program guarantees that all milk formula products for outbound are at least 6 (six) months from their expiry dates.

• Quality

Lazada warehouse employees are professionally trained to handle and fulfil orders in accordance with the quality and best practices upheld by the Milk Industry. These milk products are securely stored in Lazada’s warehouse to ensure that product quality is maintained at its best.

• Worry and Hassle-Free Online Shopping Experience 

With Lazada’s logistics capabilities, all milk products ordered under the Milk Guarantee Program will be delivered straight to the customer’s doorstep within the next day.

Customers are provided with multiple payment options and are updated through SMS and email regarding the status of their orders.

• Seal of Milk Guarantee

All milk products covered by the LazMall Milk Guarantee Program will have the green seal of 

authenticity and freshness as seen below. Now, mothers will never have to worry when purchasing their trusted milk products online.


“When it comes to choosing the right products for one’s child, nothing is left to chance. We identified the challenges faced by mothers through on-the-ground feedback, hence with the LazMall Milk Guarantee program, we truly hope to improve and increase options available on Lazada for mother and baby-related needs,” added Ms. Chavarot.

Lazada Cabuyao Plant Tour in Line with the Launching

To give Moms an overview of what actually is happening inside Lazada's biggest facility in the country - the Lazada eLogistics Plant in Cabuyao - they invited a few Moms to join the tour inside the plant. 

It was surprising and at the same time amazing to see very organized and systematic processes from inbound to outbound and shipping. The warehouse is clean and orderly, fully automated and the products inside were stocked properly in rigid and very stable metal storage racks. There was a huge stock for baby essentials such as disposable diapers and milk formula, proving that these are one of the fastest moving consumer in Lazada. Everyone is busy despite the fact that human interaction with the product is limited because of the barcode system that they implement in every order.

The warehouse is not air-conditioned but is well-ventilated. During the QnA with the executives of Lazada and the milk companies, I raised a concern about the required maintaining temperature when storing milk products. 

I was worried that hot temperature might affect the quality of the formula milk, but the executives of the milk companies assured that the quality of milk products decreases only once the packaging is opened; so there is nothing to worry about if a milk formula is stored in a room or lower temperature.

I have been to a lot of warehouses because I used to work in semi-conductor and electronics companies before, and I can say that this one is the best so far in a lot of aspects. 

During the lunch break, I was able to talk with Ms. Chavarot and I found out that the milk products with the guarantee seal are mostly those intended for kids more than 2 years of age because of the Milk Code; so don't be surprised if you see more milk for under 2 years old without the seal.

You might see milk formula that are sold at a lower price than those at the Lazmall, but you can't guarantee that they have the best quality for your kid. Let's not settle for anything less when it comes to the nourishment of our kids. 

Let's only trust the milk products guaranteed by Lazada. 

The guarantee seal somehow takes away a lot of questions and doubts from a parent's mind.

Dubbed as the heart of Asia, Taiwan beats with a fiery passion that attracts many Filipinos. In fact, the number of Filipinos who visited the island republic increased in 2018 by 44.13% from 2017.

For some, Taiwan is a food destination and picturesque views. To many others, it is the home of cutting-edge technologies and life-changing innovations.

Over the past year, Taiwan has grown into a global leader in innovation by supplying solutions to our modern problems. The value they provide is so gigantic that the Taiwanese economy lists global powerhouses such as Google, Apple, Microsoft and IBM as part of its clientele.

It's easy to get lost at the rate Taiwan churns out game-changing products. So, for those who are looking to get the best Taiwan can offer, look for the seal of the Taiwan Excellence Award.
"Products selected for the Taiwan Excellence Awards serve as shining examples for the domestic industry. Apart from the distinction, these products and brands are also promoted by the Taiwanese government on many international stages," said Tony Lin, deputy director of the Strategic Marketing Department of the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA).

The Taiwan Excellence Awards covers different products that are used in various sectors such as manufacturing, education, healthcare, transportation, e-commerce, smart living, green energy, and public service.

"Taiwan Excellence works to connect people through innovation and excellence, which they can feel in their lives every day," Lin added.

Real world innovations

Under its umbrella are companies and brands that provide concrete solutions to real world problems, effectively transforming the dreams of a smart future into reality.

For one, tech giant Acer has been developing a self-driving car that will usher in a new age in smart transportation. During the project, they partnered with Yulon Group, one of Taiwan's top car makers.

In the realm of robotics, there is the TTRobotix's SeaDragon XLR, a remote-controlled robot and submarine, that can dive 300 meters deep to aid in surveillance, rescue, or marine research.
Also updating the way we learn in the classroom, Everest Display Inc. boasts it Cloud Touch Projector. Unlike traditional projectors, the device can be used independently with its built-in Android system and a range of unique functions and features.

Revolutionizing personal hygiene is the Eleclean disinfectant spray, made of 100% pure water with no chemical additives. Housed in a compact device, the water is electrolyzed to create reactive oxygen species that are strong enough to kill most disorder-causing microorganisms, while remaining gentle so that it doesn't cause skin irritation.

To help people adjust to rising air pollution rates, Edimax created EdiGreen Airbox, a smart air quality detector with temperature and humidity sensors. It accurately measures the levels of harmful miniscule particulate matter present in the air.

A triumph in the field of smart healthcare is being developed by AmCad Biomed. Their AmCadUT Thyroid Cancer detection machine uses the power of algorithms to automatically classify thyroid tumors. According to Peter Wu, president of AmCad, the machine can analyze whether a tumor is benign or malignant. In addition, it has an average accuracy of 90 percent, 15 to 25 percent higher than that of the most superior experts.


Unparalleled excellence for the world

With so much innovation to offer, Taiwan, with the help of Taiwan Excellence, is improving lives all over the world. Later this year, Taiwan Excellence will showcase some of its great products for Filipinos to enjoy.

To experience many other wondrous innovations, Taiwan Excellence is inviting everyone to the Taiwan Expo, which will highlight Taiwan's experience and expertise in various industries such as technology, agriculture, design, medical care, education and tourism on November 8-9 at the SMX Convention Center, Davao.

Pack Print Plas Philippines 2019 Unites Three Industries in One Mega Expo

What are the latest trends in brand packaging? Have manufacturers come up with a solution to the demand for environment-friendly and sustainable containers and wraps to our everyday needs?

This is just one of the issues that producers, suppliers and consumers will learn in Pack Print Plas Philippines, scheduled to be held from today until October 12, 2019 at the SMX Convention Center Manila, the only trade show in the country that gathers the interrelated industries of packaging, plastics, printing and office supplies in one venue. Show hours will be from 10:30am to 6:00pm daily.

For the past 27 years, Pack Print Plas Philippines has provided a single platform where producers, suppliers and consumers have convenient access to technology, product development, industry research and production solutions to benefit both international and domestic markets.

This year, the show promises to be an even bigger one with the partnership between trade organizers Global-Link MP and Messe Düsseldorf Asia, providing combined expertise and experience to bring in more foreign exhibitors and trade buyers to the show floor.

With the printing industry producing a lot of waste, many small- and medium-sized printing companies have minimal knowledge on the proper means of handling chemical wastes. This meeting aims to educate the printing industry in managing proper waste disposal.

To add to this, there will be a Print Media Management Conference which will be held on October 10 from 1:00pm to 6:00pm alongside the expo.
