As Teleperformance continues to grow and invest in the Philippines, we want to be able to give more people the option to work from wherever they live. Geography and location will no longer be a barrier when it comes to job opportunities; with TP Cloud Campus, they can pursue their career in the IT-BPM industry from wherever they are,” shared Teleperformance Philippines Chief Operations Officer Joey Marquez.

The new Teleperformance “Campus Culture” supports the employee’s physical and mental well-being, assisted by bespoke Technology, Analytics, and Process Excellence (T.A.P.TM) solutions that harness human insights, fun, teamwork, friendly competition, and continuous learning.

Sustainability at SM PRIME is at the core of its corporate identity

· Leave a comment ·

Climate change is one of the most pressing and defining global issues today. It has become imperative for both the public and private sectors to continue to band together to primarily, safeguard the welfare of the people and to step up to strengthen the resilience of the nation.

The Philippines currently ranks third globally when it comes to climate change vulnerability. In relation to its geographical location, it is more exposed to altering intensities of climate change manifested through erratic weather systems and natural calamities.

The private sector is called upon now more than ever to align with the principles of sustainable development and to take on the same firm stance on environmentally sound practices in its operations.

“I constantly encourage the private sector to work closely with the government. This way, we can be more cohesive in our efforts to make more meaningful progress towards a better and sustainable future. As a private enterprise, SM Prime will continue to do its share in addressing climate change for the benefit of communities,” said Hans T. Sy, SM Prime Holdings Chairman of the Executive Committee.

Water conservation

Sustainability at SM Prime is at the core of its corporate identity. SM Prime has spearheaded sustainable practices as well as set records in pioneering programs to consciously protect the environment and strongly focus on resilience in its developments.

For one, the property conglomerate embarked on a campaign to substantially reduce its water consumption. It pioneered the installation of sewage treatment plants even before the measure was required by way of the Clean Water Act in 2004.

Today, its sewage treatment plants recycle 8.7 million cubic meters of water, lessening its dependence on fresh water sources for air conditioning operations, gardening, water closet flushing and other non-potable uses. SM Prime’s water catchment basins across 20 SM malls can also catch and store almost 79 million liters of water in total every time it rains, or as much as 32 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

By controlling the flow of flood water, surrounding communities have been provided more protection against the devastating effects of floods, alleviating what communities would normally fear when the rains come.

Renewable energy

SM Prime continues to explore ways to promote environmental consciousness in its operations and developments to minimize environmental impact.

In 2014, SM Prime achieved an important milestone in the country with SM City North EDSA becoming then the world’s largest solar-powered mall. Today, SM Prime is adding eleven more malls with solar roof decks.

Showing its firm resolve to advance its sustainability agenda, the company is committed to increase the use of renewable energy by 50% in 2022 across its various business segments, ahead of the national goals to be 35% renewable by 2030.

Through these efforts, SM Prime is committed to provide affordable and clean energy to its tenant-partners, minimizing the carbon footprint emission in its operations.
Collaboration toward resilience

As a key figure in the private sector, Mr. Sy and his dedication to environmental protection continues to serve as a testament to how Philippine businesses can usher positive change toward disaster resilience and risk reduction management in the country.

In 2012, Mr. Sy joined the United Nations Private Sector Advisory Group (PSAG) for Disaster Reduction. In 2015, he was also inducted as the first and only Filipino member UNDRR ARISE (Private Sector Alliance for Disaster Resilient Societies) International Board. He currently serves as co-chair in the ARISE-Philippines network and National Resilience Council (NRC) of the Philippines, representing the private sector. He continues to help develop multi-sectoral partnerships in the country to strengthen the ability of corporations, including MSMEs, to prepare and respond to disasters brought about by natural hazards such as earthquake.

“Climate change is looming over our Mother Earth. If we can contribute no matter how little and if I can get everybody to be aware of it, I think we will make an impact. It’s never too late,” said Mr. Sy in a video interview for the 50 Sustainability & Climate Leaders initiative.

SM: Creating shared value through tech-voc education

· Leave a comment ·

One of the flagship programs of SM Foundation, the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of the SM group, is its scholarship program. Aside from the college education offerings, the program also provides venues for students who would like to pursue a career in the skilled labor industry.

The gradual reopening of economy not just in the country, but around the world, brings hope to more job opportunities for Filipinos who lost their jobs because of the health crisis. Indeed, the support for individuals eyeing to be part of the skilled industry is needed now more than ever.

It was in this light when SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime), together with SM Foundation (SMFI), Don Bosco One TVET Phils. Inc., and the city government of Pasay partnered to give educational support to 20 deserving youth coming from Pasay. To date, SMFI has already produced more than 4,500 tech-voc graduates who are now gainfully employed.

A dream to be fulfilled
One of the current SM tech-voc scholars from Pasay is Stephen Parina. His dream is to put up his own automotive shop since aside from his interest in cars and motorcycles, he intends to uplift the economic status of his family. Both of his parents are temporary employees at the Pasay City Hall.

“Nakita ko sa Facebook post ng SM Foundation na nandun ang aking gustong course kaya dali-dali akong pumunta sa city hall ng Pasay para alamin ang mga detalye nito at kinabukasan ay nagpasa na ako agad ng mga requirements,” said Stephen, who is now studying Automotive Mechanic course at the Don Bosco Makati.

“Gusto kong matuto kung paano mag ayos ng mga sasakyan at makatapos ng pag-aaral dahil hirap kami sa aming pamumuhay. Alam ko na makakatulong ang edukasyon, kagaya ng techvoc upang matupad ang aking pangarap na makapagpatayo ng sarili kong automotive shop. Magiging susi ito upang mai-angat ko ang antas ng pamumuhay ng aking pamilya” he added.

“Taos pusong pasasalamat sa SM at sa Sy family dahil nabigyan nyo ako ng pagkakataon na makabalik muli sa pag aaral. Hinding hindi ko ito malilimutan. Dadalhin ko ito hanggang sa aking pag tanda,” Stephen said.

Ticket to success
Another current tech-voc scholar is Jeorge Angelo Madrid. He is also studying Automotive Mechanic course at the Don Bosco Makati. His father works as a painter of houses and buildings while his mother works at the Department of Social Welfare and Development. Jeorge is the youngest and most of his five siblings already have their own families.

According to Jeorge, he sees this opportunity of going back to school as his ticket towards achieving his dreams: “Nag-apply ako sa SM Foundation kasi wla po akong kakayahan na makapag aral at makapagtapos. Wala po akong pagkukuhanan ng pang tuition para maipang bayad sa eskwelahan.”

Jeorge is adamant to find a gainful employment right after he finish his studies. “Salamat po sa SM Foundation. Kung hindi dahil sa inyo, hindi madaragdagan ang kaalaman ko tungkol sa automotive. Magagamit ko ito sa aking paghahanap ng trabaho at kinalaunan, masuportahan ang aking sarili, mga pamangkin at ang aking mga magulang,” Jeorge further shared.

Reaping the fruits of his efforts
Anthony Andales, an SM tech-voc scholar alumnus, also took the time to share his inspiring story. He graduated from the Dualtech Training Center in 2019 and is now employed as a staff technician in a known company which manufactures various electronic products for home and office use.

“Bago ako mag-training sa Dualtech, nagtrabaho muna ako bilang isang helper sa isang refilling station. Ang aking arawang sweldo ay P220 lamang. Akala ko dati, wala na akong mararating sa buhay at hindi na makapagtatapos ng pag-aaral,” Anthony recalled.

“But God gave me the privilege to be chosen as one of the SM Foundation scholars para makapag-aral ako nang walang binayaran kahit piso. Ang tanging puhunan ko lang ay ang aking lakas ng loob at ang aking mga pangarap sa buhay na balang araw, makatutulong ako sa aking pamilya upang kahit papano ay makaahon sa buhay,” he further added.

Right after his on-the-job training, he was absorbed by the program’s OJT- partner company and was given a job as a staff technician because of his skills and work ethics.

“Napagawa na namin ang bahay kahit papaano, hindi man bato pero at least maayos at safe kapag may bagyo. Hindi po kagaya dati na pag umuulan ay may pa-shower kami kasi butas-butas na ang bubong at tagpi-tagpi ang dingding ng aming tahanan. Walang imposible kapag ikaw ay may pangarap at determinasyon upang maabot ito sapagkat maraming tao at institusyon na handang tumulong. Kaya sobrang thankful po talaga ako sa mga taong tumulong sa akin para magkaroon ng maliwanag na kinabukasan.” Anthony concluded.

SM Foundation, through its Scholarship program, provides deserving and qualified students with access to college education and technical-vocational studies since 1993.

Chimeraland Pre-Registration Event Kicks Off, First Trailer Revealed! The Boundless Fantasy Universe of Chimeraland is About to Open

· Leave a comment ·

CHIMERALAND – A Boundless Universe of Fantasy Awaits You. Chimeraland, a vast new open-world massively multiplayer online (MMO) game, is now open for both mobile and PC gamers to pre-register their interest. Gamers who pre-register atchimeraland.com from December 16 onwards, can ensure they are fully informed of game developments and have the first glimpse of Chimeraland once the game is officially launched in early 2022.

UNIQUE FEATURE IT HAS TO OFFER

There are a number of unique aspects to the game which are likely to appeal to current both Mobile and PC gamers. One of the key features is the game’s focus on ‘Eastern’ mythology, with the inspiration driven from ‘Classic of Mountains and Seas, renowned Chinese literature famous for its ancient mythical beasts.

Players in the game will have the opportunity to explore the huge world and, in the process, encounter many fascinating beasts and monsters which they can admire, battle, tame or, thereby evolving new ‘Chimeras’ with individual characteristics, shapes, and abilities. As a result of this system, the combination of potential creatures that could be encountered in the game is practically unlimited and provides players with endless opportunities for experimentation and imagination.

The world of Chimeraland is also unique in that it is spherical, just like the real world. This means that players will never encounter invisible walls and will be able to enjoy true adventures across over 4000 square kilometers of the map, which includes four continents, explorable seas, and oceans. On top of main continents, Night Sky is another featured in-game planet where players will be able to visit and explore as they develop their capabilities.

Phyllis, Producer at Level Infinite said, “We think that Chimeraland will strike a real chord with Malaysian gamers and want to encourage them to pre-register so they don’t miss out on any developments before the game launches in early 2022. Chimeraland defies standard definitions or explanations and really needs to be played to be appreciated. We have had great feedback from our beta-testers who are all really excited for the game to officially launch and we will be revealing more information about that soon. Based on our testing we know that Chimeraland will provide a fantastically open-ended and rewarding gaming experience that both mobile and PC gamers can really immerse themselves in.”

HIGHLY CUSTOMISABLE

The game offers players huge amounts of freedom and a good example of this is a highly developed base/home building feature. This will give players the capability to build their own personalised homes in any corner of the game (including under the sea) with thousands of modules and styles to choose from, letting players really stretch their imaginations and creative capabilities.

Another evolutionary highlight of the game is raising your own unique Chimera Pets using an “alien system” of “devouring” or “evolving” which gives your pets unique shapes and powerful abilities. From a bunny to a ten-thousand-year-old behemoth, all monsters can be captured as pets.

Chimeraland is an MMO so one of the key priorities for the developers, which is in keeping with the game’s vision to create a world beyond imagination, was to ensure that players will be able to differentiate themselves visually from other players. As a result, players have the ability to choose from dozens of different races, with huge character customization and tweaking options. By design, all characters have access to the same race and occupational capabilities, so players are free to create any outlandish character they want with no limitations or penalties based on their aesthetic choices.

GET READY FOR THE LAUNCH & GRAB YOUR REWARDS

Chimeraland will offer both challenging Player versus Environment (PvE) and Player versus Player (PvP) action. The largest beasts and monsters will take teamwork, skill, and the right equipment to overcome. Players will be able to choose from multiple weapons and can freely switch between them during fights, creating limitless tactical and strategic choices (especially when collaborating with other players) which will ensure combat is both fun and engaging.

Get rewards like Cowries, Legendary Pill and Pet Egg via pre-register on the official website, and pre-registration to achieve a specified number of people can also be unlocked in accordance with the stage, to obtain the HP Essence, Intelligence Pill, Lv. 2 Mount Skill Book and other luxury rewards, valued up to 40 US dollars. In addition, the official community also held a series of reservation activities, participation can get many in-game super useful new virtual treasures for travelers!
