What went down at the fun-filled Infinix Xmas Festival

The Infinix Xmas Festival last December touched many people’s lives in various ways. The month-long promotional event was the top smartphone brand’s way of thanking its fans for their unwavering support. It brought together fun-loving Infinix fans who are on the hunt for the latest smartphones.

More than anything, Infinix Holiday SparX was about letting Filipinos feel the Christmas spirit, be it through exciting Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) games or special gifts.

The gift of giving
Infinix offered special discounts and promos on select smartphones during the Infinix Xmas Festival. Many people were able to cop the newest models as a treat to themselves or a gift to their loved ones. There was also a Lucky Draw raffle, where lucky winners took home prizes like the Infinix ZERO 30 (4G), Infinix ZERO Ultra, Ultra Smart Watch, and P10,000 worth of MLBB diamonds.

Lucky Draw winner Nina Torrejos from Cebu said she’s thankful to Infinix for giving her an Infinix ZERO Ultra during a tumultuous time in her life. “Our house burned down recently, so winning an Infinix ZERO Ultra feels like a blessing for me and my family,” she said.

Select TikTok affiliates were also able to take home Smart Watches after joining Infinix’s Go X-tra Affiliate program. JoshinTek (@nickoitek) said he felt motivated to spread the good news about Infinix’s affordability during the Holiday SparX event. “Nakita ko ang good quality ni Infinix kaya I was eager to sell it and share the good news to other people that this phone brand can suit their budget,” he said.

“Maraming salamat Infinix for having this promo. It truly helped me not just gain and engage more with my followers, it helped me have a wonderful holiday season. I hope you will have this more very soon,” said @techmno.

Partying with XFans
Infinix gathered fans, gamers, and smartphone enthusiasts to the three-day Holiday SparX event at the Market! Market! Activity Center. The event featured selling booths with discounted smartphones, experiential zones, and even a live MLBB-friendly match.

The match featured two MLBB teams, Team Pampamilya and Team Pride of Echo, and Infinix ambassadors Cherizawa and Yskaela. It was a fun and intense match-up that showcased their skills while using Infinix phones. Ultimately, Team Pampamilya with Cherizawa came out victorious against Team Pride of Echo with Yskaela. “My favorite experience sa MLBB match game is yung makaakyat kami sa stage for the showmatch! Thankful ako sa brand dahil sa opportunity na ibinigay to us,” said Mima of Team Pride of Echo.

Infinix has been the official sponsor of the MLBB Professional League (MPL), where the brand promoted the local gaming and esports scene. Team Pampamilya was also the champion during the Guard Your Goddess Miya tournament, where they also utilized Infinix phones to play their best. “Ang go-to Infinix phone namin ay yung NOTE 30 5G dahil ito yung napanalunan namin sa Guard Your Goddess Miya tournament. Napaka-smooth ng games like Mobile Legends sa Infinix NOTE 30 5G. Nakakagaan sa paglalaro, at the same time, swak sa budget,” said Team Pampamilya.

Infinix Holiday SparX also offered experience booths where fans can check out smartphones up close, including the new Infinix ZERO 30 (4G), and make memories. There was an AR photo booth to capture wonderful moments with their family and barkadas, and an area to play casual games using Infinix phones.

An exciting look at what’s to come
Infinix is already gearing up for an exciting 2024 with upcoming releases. Recently, the brand introduced the HOT 40 Pro, a powerful phone that offers a fast and fun gaming experience for under P7,000 available on Infinix’s online stores at Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop.

As one of the top tech brands in the Philippines, Infinix is dedicated to providing high-quality smartphones suited to users’ gaming and lifestyle needs. The brand’s affordable price point makes it an accessible choice for techies and gamers of all ages.

UST tops off Henry Sy, Sr. Hall at Manila campus

The University of Santo Tomas (UST) held the topping off ceremony of the Henry Sy, Sr. Hall last October 7, 2023. The ceremony is a builder’s tradition that highlights the placement of the final beam on top of the structure.

The seven-storey building is a tribute of the Sy family, the SM Group, and UST to the SM founder for his life-long education advocacy. It is equally a manifestation of the ever-growing desire of the UST Research and Endowment Foundation, Inc., Anargyroi: FMS Foundation, Inc. (AFI) and the 152-year old UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery (FMS) to further level up in the field of medicine.

The Henry Sy, Sr. Hall will serve as a hub for simulation in medical education, interactive student centered-learning, collaborative multidisciplinary research, and interprofessional education. It will house the Sts. Cosmas and Damian Simulation and Research Center.

“The Henry Sy, Sr. Hall will be a state-of-the-art structure designed to meet the challenges and expectations of a digitally-inclined medical education landscape. It will house technologically advanced facilities and equipment, which will complement the existing teaching, learning, and research practices of the University. It is yet another milestone, securing the UST FMS a relevant spot, a significant spot in Catholic medical education in the country, the region, and the world.” FMS Dean Dr. Ma. Lourdes Maglinao said about the Henry Sy. Sr. Hall.

“Medical students can access a broad range of digital tools and resources to enhance their learning and education as we were compelled to shift to e-learning and online course platforms,” UST Rector, Very Rev. Fr. Richard G. Ang, O.P., said.

“Nowadays, keeping up with the advances in medical education is paramount to ensure that our students are competent, agile, and well-prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities of the ever-changing educational landscape of modern medicine, and this building, this edifice, will give us state-of-the-art equipment, which will give our medical students a cutting-edge knowledge on how to use robotics as well as other equipment,” Fr. Ang added.

Designed by C.A. Ventura & Partners, the Henry Sy, Sr. Hall is on track to be completed by June 2024. ♦

SM Prime, WWF-Philippines join forces to nurture the future sustainability champions

Recognizing today’s youth’s key role as tomorrow’s guardians of the environment, SM Prime
Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime) and World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines (WWF-Philippines) have
teamed up to launch YOUth are the Future,a leadership program aimed to equip young student
leaders on environmental conservation , climate change, and sustainability issues.
“There is no better time than now to educate the youth. As stewards of the planet, it is important
that they have an opportunity to learn about environmental conservation, encourage them to
voice out their fresh ideas, and share new perspectives,” said WWF-Philippines Education for
Sustainable Development Project Head Dino Calderon.
“When we provide our young student leaders with learning opportunities and expose them to
practical solutions, we have a chance to help them design a sustainable future. We are
committed to make sure that things change for the better,” says Hans “Chico” Sy, President of
SM Engineering Design and Development Corporation (SMEDD) and SM sustainability
champion.
Commencing with the grand launch on October 10, 2023, the student ambassadors from various
Metro Manila high schools participated in a discovery tour around the SM Mall of Asia Complex,
which features SM Prime’s sustainability efforts and disaster resiliency practices. The formal
introduction of YOUth are the Future Ambassadors was held at the SMX Convention Center and
along with a pinning ceremony. Leaders and representatives from SM Prime, WWF-Philippines,
government agencies, and foreign dignitaries are also present at the event.
In a message she delivered during the event, Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR) Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga said, “Our journey is really about the
race to resilience, as our climate changes, society is changing. Sustainability is our pathway to
survival as a planet and that is what resilience is really about, the ability to withstand the impacts
of the hazards that we know and those that we could face in the future.”
The youth ambassadors will participate in a three-day eco-camp at the Pico De Loro Beach and
Country Club in November, where they will learn about waste and energy management,
resource optimization, and climate mitigation and adaptation strategies from some of the
country’s experts.
Renowned for its role in Olive Ridley Sea Turtle conservation, the 3-day eco camp in Hamilo
Coast also serves as an immersive natural classroom in environmental conservation. The
expected output from the eco-camp is a Green Manifesto that outlines their plans to effect
change and a storybook module co-authored by all the participants. The program will culminate
through a series of mall and school tours throughout Metro Manila to boost youth engagement
