The easing of the alert level is expected to encourage mobility and commerce, favoring the country’s plans of stimulating the growth and revenue flow of businesses gravely impacted by the pandemic – most especially micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

Be C-gurado Every Day

How Santé’s Daily-C Plus can provide a doubled-up protection for you and your family

As the Philippines detected the highly infectious Omicron variant, Filipinos have seen a sudden and tremendous surge in the COVID-19 cases. And while the infections in Metro Manila and its nearby provinces are already starting to decrease, the Department of Health (DOH) still recognizes the country, especially NCR, as high risk for the virus. 

For that reason, people must be C-gurado amid these uncertain times. It is essential to always keep our health in check with sufficient vitamins and nutrients for doubled-up protection against the invisible enemy even if we’re wearing masks outside and completely vaccinated, along with a booster shot.

“Be clear in your purpose”: Pfizer Philippines kicks off 2022 with online leadership event

Guest speaker Pilipinas Shell President
and CEO Lorelie Quiambao Osial
inspires morale with keynote speech
To officially welcome a new business year in 2022 and inspire its employees to do their best, Pfizer Philippines convened its leadership and management team—from the country manager all the way to district managers—in an online kickoff meeting last January 7.

The meeting, which had the theme “Connecting Hearts, Connecting Science,” had Pilipinas Shell’s first female president and CEO Lorelie Quiambao Osial as keynote speaker. She shared insights and stories, and answered questions about her 20-year career with the multinational energy company.

Osial believes that there is no formula to be a strong leader, although there can be a single framework that allows for differences or changes.

“As a leader, you do need to be clear about your own purpose and the purpose of your organization. Be ready to evolve, have a growth mindset, communicate purposefully and with the right frequency, and value your people and resources,” she said.
