        It was in 1996 when Chips Delight first hit the shelves. These freshly baked and melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chip cookies were the delicious creation of Grand Alphatech International Corporation (GALINCO). Founded by its visionary entrepreneurial Chairman William Co Buchong, GALINCO has always aspired to make products that proclaim “Ang galing ng Pinoy!”, Mr. Co Buchong believes in exporting world class products made from the Philippines rather than “exporting” Filipinos separating them from their loved ones. Now, 25 years later, GALINCO continues to innovate, create, and deliver delightful treats to millions of families, not just here in the Philippines but around the world. From its first ever Chips Delight chocolate chip cookies, GALINCO went on to expand its product line to several other delicacies and chocolate snacks. GALINCO Chief Operating Officer Josephine Co-Salonga who was trained in baking in the UK explains: “Humbled by the success of Chips Delight cookies, we

  Coming into the second year of the pandemic, cleanliness and safety is still the number one priority for families. Even as vaccinations are slowly rolled out, nothing beats preparedness in keeping sickness at bay. Worldwide innovators, such as LG, have been hard at work to provide tools to help in the new normal. Its newest product, the LG Styler, is designed to keep clothes fresh and clean without needing to launder it excessively. In a recent online event, LG introduced the Styler to the local market. Hosted by LG Brand Ambassador Stephanie Zubiri, the event showcased the different uses the LG Styler has for individuals from all walks of life.

There is no doubt that the global pandemic has accelerated digital transformation, changing our day-to-day lives. Due to current events, the digital shift that was supposed to take years happened in a blink of an eye – putting the spotlight on businesses and how they make an effort to innovate their products and services. For Home Credit, it did not come as a surprise since their digital efforts started years ago knowing that digitalization, especially in the financial industry, is the next big thing. Their journey started from their launching in 2013, where they already proved to be a gamechanger in the financial landscape. Coming from a predominantly unbanked market like ours, Home Credit came into the picture and started catering to Filipinos with little to no credit history and providing affordable installments for their gadget and electronic needs. This is what we now call as “buy now, pay later” and despite the term finding its fame during the pandemic, it’s actually a relative
