World Class Medicine At An Affordable Price With RHEA Generics

RHEA Generics celebrated its partnerships with some of the biggest names in the drug industry at a recent trade launch series held at the Blue Leaf Cosmopolitan in Libis, Quezon City last May and June 2017.

With its mission to provide world-class quality medicine at affordable prices, Philusa Corporation partnered with some of the most respected names in the pharmaceutical industry including Pfizer, Sanofi, GSK, Otsuka and Merck. 

“It was a strategic, innovative, and noble partnership and we hope to enhance the life of the Filipino patients by ensuring that these high-quality medicines are within their reach,” Philusa President and General ManagerNeogin A. Evangelista said.

Aside from the already available products of RHEA Generics in the market like their over-the-counter vitamins, they ventured into providing medication that addresses some of the most prevalent diseases like diabetes and hypertension, and life-saving antibiotic medicines. 

“These are medications that can help improve the quality of life of Filipinos. We are proud that together with our partners, we are able to bring to Filipinos drugs that are of world-class quality and at prices that they can afford,” Evangelista added.

Even Mel Tiangco, a highly-respected news anchor and multi-awarded actress Angel Locsin have joined in and supported RHEA Generics being the brand’s two newest endorsers. “I like RHEA Generics because of their world-class quality medicines. Yes, we need more affordable medicines, but we also want to make sure that these are safe and of the best quality. Rhea Generics provides that,” Mel Tiangco said.

It is expected that more products will be added in the future to provide more options for patients, championing their mission of giving accessible & world-class quality generics medicines to all Filipinos.

PSBank To Deactivate All Non-EMV Cards by Sept. 1, 2017

Philippine Savings Bank (PSBank), the thrift bank arm of the Metrobank Group, has declared a deadline for deactivating all its non-EMV cards in line with its thrust to provide clients with more secured products and services.

In a statement, PSBank said “All non-EMV PSBank cards can no longer be used beginning September 1, 2017.” With this, it is encouraging all its clients to replace their non-EMV cards now at any PSBank branch. If it is your first time to replace your card, it is FREE of charge, PSBank said.

The Bank started to issue EMV chip-enabled cards as early as January 3, 2017. All its more than 600 ATMs are already EMV-ready.

PSBank debit and prepaid card accountholders can simply visit any branch to get their card. They simply need to bring their old card and one government-issued valid ID. On the other hand, for PSBank Flexi accountholders, their card will be delivered via courier to their office address while their PIN will be delivered separately via another courier to their home address. Flexi card holders can activate their card by calling PSBank’s 24/7 Customer Experience Hotline at (02)845-8888 or by visiting the nearest PSBank branch.

PSBank’s move to shift to EMV chip-enabled cards is in line with the issuance of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Circular No. 859 or the Europay, Mastercard and Visa Implementation Guidelines.

The PSBank EMV chip-enabled cards have enhanced features for verifying transactions made on the card, therefore minimizing cases of card-present fraud incidents and identity theft and giving cardholders the peace of mind whenever they do card transactions.

As 7-Eleven celebrates being part of every Filipino’s daily lives, 7-Eleven also reached out to our brothers and sisters who were affected by the conflict in Marawi. Donation Boxes were deployed in all corporate 7-Eleven stores in Mindanao.

Employees and customers had the opportunity to share their blessings to help the victims by providing them with food and other in kind donations. This charitable drive started last June and will last until July 11.

Philippine Seven Corporation (PSC) also partnered with PhilSeven Foundation Inc. (PFI) and Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) to support the 7-Eleven Global Environmental Campaign by sustaining a tree planting project at the Marikina Watershed at the Brgy. Calawis, Antipolo City.

Employees get to volunteer, along with community to enhance two hectares of an agroforestry site through the planting of 1550 fruit-bearing trees. With this activity, 7 Eleven hopes to improve the biodiversity of the Marikina Watershed and provide at least 20 households with additional income.
