Meralco Appliance Calculator: my electricity budget buddy
The Meralco Appliance Calculator (M.A.C.) has been a consumer’s electricity budget buddy since 2003. The M.A.C. is designed to be an electricity bill management tool of Meralco residential customers to help them: a) better manage their electric consumption and their electric bill; b) make wiser decisions in buying home appliances, and; c) get home energy efficiency tips that are customized to their home electricity consumption. Any consumer can access the M.A.C. from Meralco’s website: www.meralco.com.ph.
Although the M.A.C. has been around for many years now, new features and enhancements are constantly being introduced to enable it to cater to the growing demands of electricity users.
With the new Meralco Appliance Calculator (M.A.C), users can now have the option of using either “My Appliance Calculator” or “My Bill Manager”.
“My Appliance Calculator” allows the user to calculate the estimated consumption cost of appliances - one at a time.
“My Bill Manager”, on the other hand, allows the user to calculate the estimated consumption cost of appliances in a table format. It allows the user to get an estimate of the household’s total electric consumption cost and see which appliances consume more electricity.
Other features of the “My Bill Manager” menu include: consumption manager, energy efficiency adviser and target bill amount estimator. Consumption manager allows the user to see the corresponding electric consumption pie chart and some text description of the chart based on the information provided by the user. The energy efficiency adviser, meanwhile, allows user to see some energy efficiency tips based on the information provided by the user. The target bill amount estimator, on the other hand, allows the user to see an estimate of his “monthly target kWh consumption” and “estimated price per kWh” by just inputting the “target electric bill amount”.
Other new features of the M.A.C include: a) e-mailing of the M.A.C web link to friends through the “email” button; b) sharing the M.A.C web link to Facebook and Twitter accounts through the “share” button; c) sending feedback to Meralco regarding the new M.A.C through the “feedback” button; d) printing the computation results of “My Bill Manager” through the “print” button (for easy access and future reference of the computations), and; e) viewing the basis for computing the estimated electricity consumption of home appliances for the M.A.C application through the “formula” button (so that users can validate the results of the computations).
The M.A.C. is truly a user-friendly, interactive and valuable tool for costconscious
electricity consumers. Go give it a try!

Pursuits, Passion, and Philanthropy in new SunPIOLOgy
EDUCATION and the environment take center stage in SunPIOLOgy 2011: The Pursuits Journal which was officially launched on November 25 in Eastwood Mall and Fully Booked at Fort Bonifaco High Street. Now on its second year, SunPIOLOgy is a collaboration between Sun Life Financial Philippines and Hebreo 12:1 Foundation.
Featuring nature-inspired photographs taken by actor Piolo Pascual, The Pursuits Journal will benefit the scholars of Hebreo Foundation. Set up by the Pascual family, it supports the education of underprivileged but deserving students.
In pursuit of portraits
SunPIOLOgy 2011 showcases Pascual’s unique eye for detail and depth in pictures taken during his many travels. From the high peaks of Mt. Pulag to the breathtaking depths of Palawan, he captured nature in its solemn and reflective designs. Marvel at the full circle rainbow in historic Siem Reap in Cambodia, or water buffalos as they cross a plain full of ash in Zambales.
Divided into four themes – air, fire, earth, and water – the Pursuits Journal sets a colorful tone for the new year. In between its pages, one can learn about environmental conservation through eco-friendly tips and advice. Delight in the wealth of photos included in today’s hot new planner, and take comfort in the fact that you are also helping to ensure a bright future for Hebreo beneficiaries.
“To be able to share my blessings through my passion for photography makes SunPIOLOgy very dear to my heart. For this year, we carry the cause of education and ecology in a beautiful and useful journal,” shared Pascual.
Be a green advocate
Come 2011, Sun Life Financial-Philippines will move to its new home called the Sun Life Centre. As the first green commercial building in the country, it is certified by the U.S. Green Building Council on the basis of energy efficiency and use of sustainable materials.
Sun Life has long been an advocate of the environment and sustainability. Through the Pursuits Journal, Sun Life continues its crusade to inspire Filipinos to be green advocates. The company recognizes the importance of preserving the environment in line with its consistent emphasis in ensuring the future of Filipinos. “Sun Life invites everyone to adopt a green lifestyle, where sustainability is practiced on a regular basis,” enthuses Sun Life President and Chief Executive Officer Riza Mantaring.
Sustainable partnership
Aside from SunPIOLOgy, Sun Life and Pascual also worked on several other projects. In fact, the actor is the latest endorser of It’s Time!– the first financial literacy advocacy in the Philippines. Also a talented singer, Pascual serenaded Sun Life clients and agents in a sold-out concert held last October.
Helping Sun Life and Pascual in this endeavor are the SunPIOLOgy 2011 sponsors, namely: ABS-CBN CCPMG 360, DMC, Eastwood Mall, The Enterprise Center, Filipinas Heritage Library, Fully Booked, Outcomm, and The Philippine Star.
The public is also invited to visit the SunPIOLOgy 2011 benefit exhibit to be held on the following venues: 4/F Eastwood Mall (Nov 26 to Dec 10); Fully Booked High Street at the Fort (Nov 26 to Nov 30); Filipinas Heritage Library in Ayala (Dec 6 to Jan 7); and the Art Hall of The Enterprise Center (Dec 12 to Jan 12).
You can also own a piece of Piolo’s photography through an online bidding. Simply log in and register at www.sunpiology.com. Autographed and framed photos found in the journal will be rewarded to the highest bidder until the midnight of January 11, in time for Pascual’s birthday.
“Like its predecessor, SunPIOLOgy 2011 will make a difference to the lives of Hebreo scholars. And now that we’re carrying the cause of the environment, we are also securing the future of generations to come,” says Mantaring.
SunPIOLOgy 2011: The Pursuits Journal is now available in all Fully Booked stores and all Sun Life Customer Centers nationwide. For more information, click www.sunpiology.com.

the Piolo Pascual interview c/o Manila Bloggers Network
as part of Manila Bloggers Network, i had the privilege of interviewing the very handsome and dreamy Mr. Piolo Pascual. not only is the guy ultimately talented, he is also very nice and sweet, not to mention friendly. it was a lovely time we had doing the very short interview.
Tuesday, July 13, 2010
Piolo: A Financial Monologue
There is no fool’s gold beneath the surface of Piolo’s beliefs and values. Behind the disarmingly handsome face is a man who knows how to protect his dreams and priorities. In between the hectic schedule are charity works, sports, and his undying love for family.
The same can be said on how he handles his finances – smart, delicate, and purposeful. And as the latest addition to Sun Life Financial’s “It’s Time!” financial literacy advocacy, he is ready to impart the message of a bright and stable future.
On Money
My mother showed me the best attitude towards money, which is humility. She also taught me to use money to do good things. My faith also gave me a great foothold on my finances. Much has been given to me, and it is only right that I give something in return.
On Financial Planning
You have to know what is important to you, and starting early is the way to go. In fact, the life insurance I got for my son Iñigo has already matured. Now his future is secure, and I’m so happy to know that he could do anything he wants. So it really pays to put your money on the best financial baskets around.
On Spending Habits
I am very practical with the things I buy. I never spend beyond my means. After a long and tiring day, I splurge on food. But that’s it. My happiness does not rely on the things that I have. Also, I do save for rainy days. We never know the lemons that life may throw our way.
On Retirement
Even before I entered the entertainment industry, I saw myself retiring at a young age. It may be a change of career, or doing other things that I have always wanted to pursue. For instance, I want to have my own business someday. It is so exciting to think about the future if you’re protected and secured.
On Success
Never let it get to your head. I consider myself very blessed for the opportunities given to me. So I never let it go to waste. I work hard, fulfill my responsibilities, and always try to pay it forward. I know it sounds too heroic, but I want to be able to help when I can, whenever I can.
On Future Plans
In five years, I see myself being married. I want to see my kids grow up, and I want to be beside my wife through thick and thin. We are not going to be young forever, so I am now saving and investing for that chapter in my life. I want to protect their dreams, so I have to be ready for anything.
On Achieving Financial Freedom
Can I say that I am financially free? YES, yes I can. But I still invest on things that will matter in the future. I keep on saving up, so I can continue to be confident about my and my family’s future. It’s time to create the life we always want to live. No time like today, no place like the present to start. Again, it’s time!
On Being an It’s Time advocate
Sun Life has been securing the future of Filipinos for 115 years now. Even during the global financial crisis, they proved that they are very stable. They continue to fulfill their commitment to their policyholders. The It’s Time advocacy is such a noble initiative, one that can help millions of Filipinos fulfill their dreams. This makes me proud to be part of the Sun Life family.
PIOLO RUNS WITH THE SUN IN NEW TVC
Protect your dreams is the battle cry of Sun Life advocate Piolo Pascual. It’s Time!!
Running enthusiast and latest Sun Life Financial advocate Piolo Pascual rediscovers the charms of old Manila and a piece of Sun Life Financial Philippines (SLFP) history in a heart-thumping and edgy new TVC.
Inspiring Filipinos to take charge of their finances in order to protect their dreams, Pascual gives a personal take to Sun Life’s It’s Time! advocacy, the first advocacy of its kind in the Philippines to promote financial literacy and preparedness among Filipinos .
No guarantees
Shot near an old Binondo building that used to house Sun Life’s operations, the TVC shows how a harmless night can turn into a life-changing moment. It features Piolo in tip top shape, depicting a metaphor of life where anything can happen to us even at the top of our game, and the best you can do is to be prepared.
“The message of the TVC is beautiful and profound. We all have to realize that life offers no guarantees so we must always be prepared and protect our dreams from uncertaintyes,” explained Pascual.
Back to its roots
The TVC was a throwback to classic Manila, with the famous Jones Bridge at the background under an overcast evening sky,. For Sun Lifers, the TVC honors an important chapter of the company’s history in the Philippines. Home to SLFP’s local operations from 1951 to 1981, the Singson Building at the foot of Jones Bridge bore witness to post-War rehabilitation and the onset of Martial Law. A story that spanned three decades, it is an important section of Sun Life’s 115 years of service to Filipinos.
“Binondo is where everything started and today Sun Life continues to honor its commitment to Filipinos after more than a century of service. Our latest TVC not only delivers a relevant message for all of us, it also pays honor to our company’s glorious past and our on-going commitment to Filipinos,” said Riza Mantaring, President & CEO, SLF-Philippines.
Sun Life family
Now part of the Sun Life family and the It’s Time! advocacy, Pascual admits that the cause of financial literacy is very similar to his values in life. Though an accomplished actor and a sought-after endorser, he continues to be a practical man and a firm believer in saving for a rainy day.
Started in July 2009, Sun Life’s It’s Time! advocacy celebrates its first anniversary with Pascual joining other advocates Pia Magalona, Bam Aquino, James Yap and his son, Baby James.
With the TVC as a catalyst, Pascual encourages Filipinos to not leave anything to chance. “It is never too early to aspire for great things and never too early to protect your dreams. We all need to take charge of our financial future, not only for yourself but also for your loved ones,” Pascual concluded.
Indeed, It’s Time!!
Wonder Woman 2.0

Attention all obsessive comic fans! Set your mood dials to "outraged." Wonder Woman, one of the most popular superheroes of all time, is getting a new look.
Even casual fans of the Amazon Princess can spot her famous threads a mile away. Blue shorts with white stars, a bold bustier, and bright red boots that make Superman's look downright tasteful. All that's about to change, though. Starting with this month's comic, Wonder Woman starts wearing pants.
You can almost hear the fanboys screaming. But, according to a popular blog from CNN, there is a reason for the switch. Writer J. Michael Straczynski, who is taking over writing the comic, commented on a DC Comics blog post, "I wanted to toughen her up, and give her a modern sensibility." She's been saving the world for 69 years. If you ask us, it's only fair that she finally treat herself to some new threads.
So, what are the specifics? The biggest news is that she'll lose the hot pants, and wear tight blue pants instead. The famous bracelets are still around, but, according to Straczynski, they'll be more colorful, "with a script W on each of them that form WW when she holds them side by side…and if you get hit by one of them, it leaves a W mark." As Straczynski puts it, "this is a Wonder Woman who signs her work."
But it's not just Wonder Woman's appearance that's been changed. Her back story is different, too. The New York Times explains: "In the reimagining of her story, Wonder Woman, instead of growing up on Paradise Island with her mother, Queen Hippolyta, and her Amazon sisters, is smuggled out as a baby when unknown forces destroy her home and slaughter its inhabitants." Clearly, this is a darker version for a more dangerous world.
Not surprisingly, the news of Wonder Woman's new look and history inspired huge searches on Yahoo!. Lookups for "wonder woman changes," "new wonder woman," and "wonder woman outfit" all roared to life. Others wanted to know more about Wonder Woman's alter ego. (FYI, she goes by the name Diana Price when she's not kicking criminal butt.) And lest you think her classic look will simply fade away, consider this: Searches on "sexy wonder woman outfit" have already started their ascent in preparation for Halloween.

Public 'webphone' now in Philippines
MANILA, Philippines - The country's first "webphone" resembles a public phone booth, but is loaded with more services.
Called E-Stop, the latest offering of Ayala-led Globe Telecom Inc. puts together the payphone and Internet services in a touch screen device, allowing users to call, surf the Internet, and send e-mails.
It can be found in Quezon City's TriNoma mall, which is also owned by the Ayala Group.
"We are proud to bring another first in the Philippines. We are excited to introduce the new all-in-one Webphone service that consumers can conveniently access if they need to call or connect to the Internet," said Globe president and chief executive officer Ernest Cu.
Globe rolled out the first E-Stop in partnership with TouchMedia Philippines under a proof-of-concept trial.
Asked about the market's response to Globe's latest service, Cu said, "We are glad that after more than 2 weeks since we started with the first Globe E-Stop, we've had an overwhelming reception from the consumers in terms of revenues, usage and service."
As it enhances its public webphone service, Globe said it intends to offer text messaging, reloads, bill payments and advertising at the E-Stop in the future.
