Continuing the Legacy of Volunteerism : Angat Buhay Achieves PCNC Accreditation

A year since its inception, Angat Buhay remains steadfast in its dedication to community upliftment, bolstering its commitment to good governance with the recent acquisition of the Philippine National Council for NGO Accreditation (PCNC) recognition. This notable achievement, secured merely one year after its formal launch in July 2022, reflects Angat Buhay's unwavering commitment to excellence, transparency, and accountability – qualities recognized not only by the government but also by various donor agencies.

On August 30, Angat Buhay proudly received the PCNC accreditation, surpassing the stringent standards set for NGOs. This milestone prompted a heartfelt expression of gratitude from the Executive Director, Raffy Magno, who acknowledged the challenging process undertaken by Angat Buhay to achieve this accreditation. In a Facebook post, Magno emphasized the accreditation's value as a catalyst for continuous improvement in the NGO's internal systems and processes.

"Mahirap-hirap ang proseso na pinagdaanan ng Angat Buhay para makuha ito. Pero sobrang sulit dahil naging tulay ang accreditation na ‘to para patuloy nating ma-improve ang systems at processes ng ating NGO," Magno shared.

The PCNC accreditation serves as a testament to Angat Buhay's dedication to good governance and effective management. Magno highlighted that the accreditation would help streamline and organize their internal systems and processes, fostering an environment of efficiency and effectiveness.

For volunteers nationwide, the PCNC accreditation opens new opportunities and reinforces Angat Buhay's commitment to community-centric initiatives. The NGO, conceived in the spirit of "bayanihan" following Atty. Leni Robredo's groundbreaking 2022 Presidential Campaign, has consistently championed volunteerism, engaging with marginalized communities and addressing their needs.

The PCNC-accredited NGO continues to advance its advocacies in public education, public health, disaster relief and rehabilitation, as well as community engagement and empowerment. In 2022 alone, Angat Buhay reached almost 200 communities, positively impacting thousands of individuals. The organization is fueled by a renewed enthusiasm to sustain its efforts and welcomes donors who wish to contribute to its mission.

Interested contributors can refer to the provided donation channels or contact donate@angatbuhay.ph for more information. Additionally, Angat Buhay extends its reach beyond national borders, accepting donations through give2asia.org/angatpinas. All contributions are exempt from donor's tax, ensuring that 100% of donations will be allocated to Angat Buhay's projects.

The PCNC accreditation not only provides access to local and international funding but also reinforces Angat Buhay's legitimacy as a recognized NGO. It signals their eligibility to register as a BIR donee institution, facilitating the organization's ability to further its impact on communities.

As a designated Accrediting Entity by the government, PCNC plays a crucial role in ensuring NGOs' compliance with established local requirements and standards for good governance and management.

For those inspired to join the volunteer network, Angat Buhay invites individuals to become volunteers and stay updated on its initiatives through its website at angatbuhay.ph.

A Comprehensive Map To Cleaning Your Kitchen

Two roads appeared before me and I took the one less cluttered.

Ahhhh…the kitchen. It’s where we make our 1st meal of each day. It’s where we pack lunches and prepare meals. It’s where we’re caught sneaking midnight snacks. The path to the kitchen is the one most traveled in all our homes. To keep traffic moving freely, follow these steps when cleaning your kitchen.

Cluttered Counters of the Third Kind:

Your countertops are not mailboxes. Nor are they a keyholders or phone chargers. If it doesn’t need to be there, find it a new home or get rid of it.

Highway to the High Spots:

This is common knowledge, and common sense, but start at the top. Use a dusting tool with an extension handle and get the places you can’t reach by hand, like the ceilings, light fixtures and the top of your refrigerator, etc.

A Cabinet in The Woods:

After you get the ceiling and other hard to reach places, your higher cabinets are next. Clean out your dishes and other items and vacuum with an appropriate attachment to get as much dust and debris removed as possible. Then wipe down with whatever solution is safe and that makes you comfortable. White-vinegar cleaning solutions mixed with essential oils are greatly effective but not all surfaces can handle them. Make sure you know what you are cleaning before you apply any solutions.

Next, clean your backsplash, hanging microwave and anything else above waist level.

Your Crisper Is Not A Petri Dish:

Your refrigerator should be cleaned out regularly. Food starts to develop mold and bacteria way before we notice it. Crisper and meat drawers are especially susceptible to germs and unseen leaks can collect in corners and become virtual breeding grounds for sickness.

It’s a hassle but it has to be done. Take out all the food from your fridge. If it’s expired or even starts to have a funny odor, throw it out. You can’t really run a vacuum cleaner to suck up food debris so you have to pick up larger pieces by hand as best you can. You can, however, attach a nylon stocking tightly around the end of your hose extension and suck up food debris that way. You have to be extra sure the food is not wet and that no liquid will go into your machine. The nylon won’t stop the suction power but it will trap the food to it and prevent it from going into your hose.

Drawers and trays should be soaked in hot, soapy water and sprayed down with a white vinegar/disinfecting solution right after. Let them air dry completely or dry them thoroughly with a towel and/or hairdryer on low heat before replacing them.

Door To Door:

The fridge door gets touched by everyone in the house at some point each day. The dishwasher and stove doors are not far behind, either. White vinegar is a great way to clean all of these doors. Avoid using vinegar on stone or marble surfaces and always remember to clean your handles, knobs and buttons thoroughly.

Double Down On Dishes:

Fill up the sink(s) with soapy, hot water and add whatever fits and needs to be soaked. Your crisper drawers, that dish rack that’s developed a mildew issue, the microwave tray and rotation device all can be submerged.

After the water has cooled down to room temperature, take the soaked items and put them in your dishwasher. And, leave the sink full for a bit longer…


Small Appliances Get Big Attention Too:

There are lots of little, working parts to your coffee maker, toaster, blender and more. Drip trays, the lid to the coffee pot, detachable crumb catchers from your toaster, all can be placed into the soapy water still left in your sink. Wash them all and rinse with hot water – as hot as you can stand it – to kill off any remaining germs.

Microwave Your Microwave:

Fill a microwave safe dish with white vinegar and water. You can add lemon slices or essential oils as well. Heat it up on high for a few minutes or until boiling. Let the steam fill up the inside of the unit and stay in there until it disappears. Next, wipe the microwave down as normal. This solution helps break up grease, oil and splashes that collected along the sides, top and bottom of your unit.

Sterilizing Stove Tops

Food happens. To keep your stovetops clean and working better for longer, follow these steps:

1. With a dry cloth, brush off any food or debris.

2. Wipe down the stovetop with a moist cloth and hot water.

3. Turn on the burners and pour a moderate amount of white vinegar onto the range.

4. Turn off the heat and sprinkle baking soda all around, on top of the vinegar

5. Let the solution bubble and fizz for a few minutes

6. When the range is cool, wipe down as usual with Dawn and hot water; rinse off carefully and dry completely

Countermeasures:

Now you can scrub your counters. Push all debris in to the sink. If anything falls on the floor, leave it because you’ll be cleaning that soon using this useful article. Don’t use vinegar on stone or marble surfaces. For regular countertops I love adding lemon-infused essential oils.

Sink Or Swim:

This might be the only occasion where you want to choose “sink.” Drain the water from the sink. Coat it with vinegar and like with the stovetop, dump baking soda all over it. Let it fizzle and break up grease and grime, then rinse with boiling water. Always remember to get your faucets and handles, too!

You Are Now Free To Clean About Your Lower Cabinets:

Follow the same procedure as with the higher cabinets, making sure you remove any and all debris collected in corners.

Finally The Floor:

Use a vacuum cleaner and its appropriate attachments before doing anything else to suck up surplus dirt and debris. Then sweep with a broom if needed, or a Swiffer that attracts dirt hidden in corners. Pull out your appliances and clean behind, around and under them. Mop or dry mop as required based on your floor type. Put up police tape to prevent unwanted footprints on your newly cleaned floors. Or, you know, just tell them to stay out for a while.

Trash Time:

Take out the trash as normal. Only this time, take the trash can/bin outside too. Fill it with hot, soapy water and a cup of white vinegar and baking soda. Let it soak. Rinse with hot water and allow it to dry completely before putting in a new bag or liner. Tossing in a lemon peel helps keep it smelling fresh, too.

Ensuring Clean and Quality Air at Home: A Comprehensive Guide

Experience the most gratifying sensation by spending cherished moments at home with your family. Amidst the hustle of work and school, returning home becomes a vital respite from the daily challenges. Yet, the essence of this retreat is amplified in a healthful home environment.

Surprisingly, studies indicate that indoor air quality is often less pristine than perceived, potentially surpassing outdoor air pollution levels. Enclosed spaces facilitate the accumulation of airborne contaminants, posing health risks to you and your family. It's imperative to prioritize a healthy living environment to ensure the well-being of your loved ones in the very place meant to offer solace and rejuvenation.

There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort...

Household appliances like stoves and boilers emit pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, known to inflame airways, and carbon monoxide, posing a risk of asphyxia. Additionally, allergens contribute to suboptimal indoor air quality, with dust mites, molds, and fabric fibers being common culprits.

Moreover, viruses and bacteria inadvertently brought into our homes can linger and proliferate, further compromising indoor air quality. These factors not only disrupt our health but can be particularly concerning for young children, exacerbating potential problems. Safeguarding against these sources of indoor pollution is paramount, necessitating awareness and measures to ensure the well-being of occupants and maintain a healthy living environment.

Ensuring better indoor air quality involves adopting several practices:

1. Clean the Floors: Regular cleaning of floors is crucial as they tend to accumulate dirt, harboring allergens and bacteria. Vacuuming effectively removes accumulated pollutants, while mopping takes care of residual dust. Placing a doormat also minimizes the entry of outdoor dirt into your home.

   
   

2. Introduce Indoor Plants: Beyond their aesthetic appeal, indoor plants play a crucial role in purifying the air. Not only do they release oxygen, but they also absorb toxins, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.

   
   

3. Identify and Eliminate Odors at the Source: While scents like lemon or lavender may create a perception of cleanliness, they often merely mask underlying odors. It is essential to pinpoint the source of unpleasant smells and address it directly for a genuinely fresh environment.

   
   

4. Manage Humidity: Maintaining optimal humidity levels between 30-50% is vital to prevent the proliferation of dust, mites, and allergens. Enclosed spaces can benefit from the use of air conditioners, effectively reducing indoor air moisture while also controlling the presence of allergens.

Adopting these practices not only enhances the cleanliness and freshness of indoor air but also contributes to the overall well-being of occupants. Consistent efforts in maintaining a healthy indoor environment can significantly impact respiratory health and reduce the risk of allergies and other health disruptions associated with poor air quality.

Lastly, make informed choices when selecting your air conditioners, as not all units merely cool the air. Choose air conditioner models that go beyond cooling, offering comprehensive air solutions. Prioritize models equipped with Inverter technology, as they not only deliver exceptional cooling performance but also ensure significant energy savings. With features like sleep mode, powerful mode, and an anti-bacterial filter, the unit prioritizes both comfort and health.

Look for an air conditioner that introduces advanced Nanoe technology, providing a robust purification system. This technology not only deodorizes but also inhibits bacteria and viruses, removes dust, and purifies the room, even when the cooling operation is off. Some models have a unique top flap design that enhances airflow for a healthier and more comfortable living space. Nowadays, many brands in the market pioneer Inverter technology, ensuring greater efficiency and translating to improved energy savings. Choose air conditioners that go beyond mere cooling, prioritizing your well-being and energy efficiency.

HONOR Surpasses Expectations with 200% Sales Growth, Revealed at Fortune Global Forum 2023

HONOR, the global technology brand, has emerged as a trailblazer in foldable innovation and eye comfort technology, achieving an impressive 200% growth in overseas markets this year. The brand's commitment to human-centric innovations took center stage during the enlightening discussion titled “A New Intelligent World: What’s Next for Smart Devices” at the Fortune Global Forum 2023 in Abu Dhabi.

Dr. Ray Guo, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of HONOR Device Co. Ltd., emphasized the significance of human-centric innovations in shaping the future of smart devices. Foldables, on-device AI, and technologies enhancing human-device interaction, such as eye comfort display technology, were highlighted as pivotal components of this transformative era.

Addressing a critical global issue, HONOR identified the widespread prevalence of vision impairment and blindness, affecting at least 2.2 billion people worldwide, with 1 billion cases that could have been prevented or mitigated. In response, HONOR prioritized integrating eye comfort display technology, investing over $140 million in display technology R&D, and accumulating more than 500 display-related patents.

Historically, foldable devices faced challenges in portability, durability, and battery life. HONOR, however, successfully tackled these issues with devices like the HONOR Magic V2, which combines the sleekness of a regular flagship smartphone with the immersive experience of a foldable screen. Rigorous testing proved the device's durability, with the ability to withstand at least 400,000 folds, coupled with silicon-carbon battery technology ensuring all-day battery life.

HONOR recently celebrated a significant milestone, surpassing the manufacturing of 1 million foldable phones from its factory. The HONOR Magic V2 stands out as the No.1 best-selling foldable in the Chinese market, capturing a remarkable 25% share of the expanding foldable market as a single model, according to industry analysis firm Omdia.

This achievement signifies a maturing industry, demonstrating how HONOR is propelling the supply chain forward and streamlining the manufacturing process through increased automation and efficiency.

The conversation at the Fortune Global Forum also delved into the potential of on-device AI, a domain where HONOR has made substantial investments. The brand's commitment to AI was showcased during the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit, where it unveiled that the upcoming HONOR Magic6 smartphone would feature On-device LLM powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform. HONOR advocates for a hybrid AI model, leveraging on-device AI for personalized content and services while prioritizing user privacy by keeping data on the device.
