Could the next Happiest Pinoy come from the city of Durian?

Davao City is known for its vast plantations, booming tourism, and possibly the home of next Happiest Pinoy. Led by Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Solutions (CLIS) General Manager Jonathan D. Batangan, the Happiest Pinoy team went on a three-day city invasion to spread the happydemic to all Davaoeños last February 15 to 17.

In search of that one person who has what it takes to be the Happiest Pinoy, a series of campus visits were held at the Philippine Women’s College and Ateneo de Davao University to encourage students as well as the individuals in the education profession to join the campaign.

In celebration of Cebuana Lhuillier’s 25th year anniversary and its pursuit to provide happiness a local back-to-back press conference on the Search for the Happiest Pinoy 2012 and the 24k Cebuana Card relaunch was held. PJ Lhuillier Group of Companies Business Quality Management Division Manager Warren Enteria wowed over 25 local media from print, TV, and radio, as well as Davao-based bloggers of the new innovations of the 24k card.

Valentine Outreach at Golden Acres Home for the Aged

Valentine's Day is a natural time to share love and it becomes more significant when shared with those who feel unloved and deserted.
On February 14, the PJ Lhuillier Foundation, Inc. (PJLFI) organized an outreach program dubbed as “Ikaw LOLO at LOLA, ang Ka-Valentine ko” for the resident elderly of the Golden Acres Home for the Aged in Quezon City.

Together with PJLFI’s Metro Manila scholars, a total of 175 elders were served with special gifts, soft biscuits as raffle prizes and merienda. During the program, some of the elderly delightfully performed special numbers. Volunteer scholars and PJLFI staff also joined them in performing a song and dance presentation, which filled the event with cheer. In addition, several basic goods for daily use of the elders were turned over to the institution.

Outreach to Golden Acres Home for the Aged, which is a haven for neglected, abandoned, and homeless elders, is yearly conducted by the Foundation.

Cebuana’s Gem Shines Brightest in the Aspirants’ Cup

 

High-flying Vic Manuel of Cebuana Lhuillier leapt over the competition to bag Best Player of the Conference honors in the PBA Developmental League Aspirants’ Cup.

 

The 6’4” forward, also the current UCAA Most Valuable Player, possesses tremendous athleticism and agility uncommon for athletes his size. The former PSBA Jaguar averaged 15.9 points and 8.3 rebounds in the current D-League tournament. Manuel hopes these numbers are enough to catch the fancy of pro scouts as he bared his intentions of joining the Philippine Basketball Association draft later this year.

 

“Desidido na akong mag-pro pagtapos nito,” said Manuel, referring to his contractual obligations with Cebuana. “Sana may magbigay ng chance sa pros.”

 

The 24 year old first rose from obscurity two years ago when he stole the spotlight from older, more experienced players to capture the PBL MVP plum as a player of Pharex B-Complex.  Vic is the final recipient of this award before the league folded. He also saw action in the PBL-Liga TOP and Liga Pilipinas while starring for the Philippine School of Business Administration in the NCRAA and UCAA.

 

Despite his experience in various tournaments, the Nueva Ecija native credits his stint in the PBA Developmental League, particularly with Cebuana Lhuillier, as the period in his career where he received the best exposure and training to prepare for fulfilling his dream to play in the Philippine Basketball Association.

 

 

“Malaking tulong sa akin yung pagkakataong naibigay ng paglalaro ko dito sa D-League lalo nung mapunta akong Cebuana. Mabait si coach (Luigi Trillo) at marami akong natutunan sa kanya. Nagkaroon ako ng malaking kumpyansa sa laro ko,” he revealed.

 

 

 

Before he makes the big leap however, Manuel is determined to make his final conference with the Gems one to remember. The top performer of the Aspirants’ Cup, disappointed by Cebuana Lhuillier’s failure to advance to the championship this time around, said he will move heaven and earth to make it happen once the D-League opens shop again in March.

 

 “Malaki talaga ang expectations ng lahat na mapachampion ang team. Next conference gagawin kong lahat para masuklian ang tiwala ni coach at ang suporta ng management. Dagdag nalang siguro yung magkaroon ako ulit ng award, pero gagawin kong makakaya ko,” Vic declared.

 

 

Although his team was unable to compete for the Aspirants’ Cup title, Vic Manuel’s hard work and determination received a fitting tribute and Cebuana’s Gem shone the brightest in this tournament. Congratulations to the PBA Developmental League’s Best Player of the Conference!

Bitamina sa Eskwela Launched in San Manuel, Tarlac

February 8, 2012 – The PJ Lhuillier Foundation, Inc. (PJLFI) in partnership with Philippine Star Operation Damayan donated 500 bottles of Tiki-tiki vitamins which are set to be distributed to the 214 Day Care students covering six schools in San Manuel District, Tarlac.

Malnutrition in the Philippines is a very prevalent condition wherein kids are usually affected. According to the records given by the school’s coordinator, 42% of the 214 students were found to be underweight. Hence, these vitamins would be great help in reducing the malnutrition rate of the recipient schools, especially for poor families who cannot afford to buy vitamins. Nutritional supplements will be given daily by the teachers to ensure the day-care students will benefit from this.

Bitamina sa Eskwela is one of the newest projects of PJLFI. Vitamins were provided by the United Laboratories, Inc.
