"Saludo" to highlight heroism of Filipino people
A new television series entitled "Saludo"; that will feature the everyday heroism of the Filipinos was launched at the Camp Crame headquarters in Quezon City recently.
Police Chief Superintendent Rhodel Sermonia of the Police Community Relations Group (PCRG) under the Philippine National Police (PNP) and popular film producer Leonora Sy led the launch of the new television series which will be aired on PTV4 every Sunday at 8 p.m.
Sy said: "SALUDO is a one-hour weekly hero-serye program of PTV4. It is a compilation of stories of everyday Filipino heroes, the least-told life stories which could be the inspiration of each and every Filipino."
"This is dedicated to all the everyday heroism of the Filipino people. They all deserve the praises for whatever heroism they have shown," added Sy, executive producer of the show.
For its premier episode on Sunday, Jan. 27, "Saludo"; will feature the heroism of former Philippine National Police Chief Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa played by actor Polo Ravales.
"We will not delve into the life story of former PNP chief Bato. Well, at some point, it will be tackled a bit. But we will highlight his heroism. That you have to watch the effect of General Bato's heroism in the country's peace and order and in the economy as well," said Sermonia.
He also said: "The first episode will also touch on the issue of illegal drugs and how the government is dealing with the situation."
Sermonia added: "If you know someone who has done an act of heroism, please approach us and we will see what we can do. We need to share this heroism to the world because we want the others to be inspired and do good."
Other celebrities who attended the press launch of the new television series were Bahjo Cabauatan, director of the TV series; and Dennis Coronel Macalintal, line producer.
Also at the launch were two of the five Gwapulis - PO3 Alexander Po and PO1 Willy Quinto - who will be part of the first season of "Saludo"; Other Gwapulis who will join in the succeeding series of "Saludo" are former Mr. International PO2 Neil Perez and PO1 Richard Pangilinan.
Sermonia said that "Saludo"is also one way of reintroducing to the public the role of PCRG. "People are familiar with HPG and CIDG but the PCRG has no recall to some people. PCRG assists and helps the people in times of calamities and disasters."

6 HACKS TO SURVIVE COMMUTING IN METRO MANILA
Do you commute everyday? Are you taking public
transportation? Do you live in urban areas?
Once in a while I commute and use the public transportation. You know
how challenging and downright agonizing it can be to commute on a daily basis
and while there’s much to improve with our transport system that we can rant about.
There are ways for us to at least make
the experience easier for ourselves, more pleasant even. So I’m sharing with
you 6 sure hacks to survive commuting in the metro.
1. CHOOSE RIGHT, PACK SMART
First and foremost, always ensureyou bring
a bag that can be fully and securely closed such as those with zippers. Tote
bags may be convenient for you, but remember you’re not the only one who will
have easy access. If you change bags frequently, get a bag organizer to easily
transfer all your things from one bag to another. If you’re a gadget junkie,
use a cord organizer for tangle-free earphones and chargers while you’re on the
go.
2. WEAR THE COMFIEST SHOES
Trust us, your daily travel can be a whole
lot easier and much less tiring simply by wearing the right shoes. Ditch the
heels, obviously. Go for something reliable and tested like Skechers GOWalk—said
to be the number 1 walking shoe in the U.S., it’s also worn by travelers in
airports all over. The latest Skechers GOwalk Evolution makes you feel like
you’re walking on clouds, giving a bounce in every step no matter how long and
tiring the lines or walks are. Well cushioned, lightweight and breathable,this
shoe is a must-have travel and commute companion!
3. USE STORED VALUE CARDS- Save time &
money, grab limited deals!
Skip long lines atticket stations by
purchasing beep™ stored value cards.
Aside from saving time lining up, it also saves you money as it comes out
cheaper than buying single rides in LRT1 and LRT2. This January, you’ll want to
watch out for a new limited edition Skechers beep™card—a special co-branded
card that can be used anywhere on MRT3, LRT1, LRT2, P2P buses, BGC Bus, and
anywhere beep™cards are accepted. In the spirit of Christmas and to make
commuting a better experience for everyone, Skechers is giving out a P500
discount voucher on GOwalk shoes with each purchase of a Skecher beep™card
(P50). No limits on number of cards you can purchase so if you want to share
the gift of comfort and convenience to friends and family this season, a
Skechers beep™card with GOWalk discount voucher is a great way to go!
Skip long lines at ticket stations by purchasing
stored value cards. Aside from saving time lining up, it also saves money too
as it comes out cheaper than buying single rides. This December, you’ll want to
watch out for a new limited edition Skechers Beep card—a special co-branded card
that can be used anywhere on all MRT and LRT trains, select P2P buses, and
anywhere Beep cards are accepted. In the spirit of Christmas and to make commuting
a better experience for everyone, Skechers is giving out a P500 discount
voucher on GOwalk shoes with each purchase of a Skecher Beep card (P100). No
limits on number of cards you can purchase so if you want to share the gift of
comfort and convenience to friends and family this season, a Skechers Beep card
with GOWalk discount voucher is a great way to go!
4. BRING A COIN PURSE
Oftentimes, journeys require us to take 2
or more modes of transport. So while stored value cards make our lives easier
on trains and some modern bus lines, we still need to rely on cash for jeeps,
tricycles, and taxis. It helps a lot with both safety and convenience to have a
separate coin purse handy on short rides so you don’t have to bring out your
main wallet which carries your cash and cards. Also, you won’t have to worry
about not getting enough change back when you can give the exact amount!
5. KEEP HYDRATED
Instead of buying bottles of water every
day, we suggest that you bring your own water tumbler instead. This way, you’re
not just saving money, but you’re saving the earth by reducing single-use
plastic as well. The water will help you stay fresh throughout your commutes
especially in our typically hot and humid weather. Place it in an easy to
reach, outer part of your bag so you it’s easy to hydrate whenever and wherever
you are.
6. NO MORE SWEAT
If you have a big meeting or event coming
up and you don’t have space or time to pack extra clothes, prevent sweat marks
by putting liners inside the sleeves of your clothes where your underarms are
positioned. Of course, it’s always good to bring a hand fan or a portable
battery-operated one for hassle-free cooling to avoid
sweating in the first place.
There you have it! 6 hacks and I hope it can help
you make the best experience possible out of your challenging city commutes!
Limited edition Skechers beep™Cards will be available for purchase this January
2019 at selected P2P stations. One P500 discount voucher will be given with
each Skechers beep™card purchased.
