Sharing the Value of Community through Motorcycle Clubs

Tanauan, Batangas—August 7,2020—Filipinos are one of the most joyful, family-oriented, and social people –it is engraved in our veins. Amid the current global health crisis, however, we do not get to spend much time with the people we love, especially with community quarantines (CQs) and lockdowns imposed in most parts of the country.

Thankfully, the “new normal” has brought us innovative ways to communicate and socialize with other people.

From shopping online to meeting through video calls, people find new ways to satisfy their needs and spend time with their loved ones. One of the best things that the “new normal” has brought us is the safety and convenience of motorcycles when it comes to mobility and safe commuting.

Motorcycles can also bring people together, despite the dangers that the virus presents. Take it from these Motorcycle Clubs, which do not only keep the community experience for themselves, but also share them with others by giving a helping hand during these difficult times.

The Honda BeAT Fi Owners Club Surigao Chapter, an MC of BeAT Fi Riders, took advantage of their motorcycles and brought food packs to their co-members who were affected by the pandemic.

Meanwhile, in the province of Cebu, The Cebu XRM Riders Club gave back to their communities with the help of their motorcycles. The club initiated a food drive to deliver snacks to frontliners in Balamban-Cebu City boundary last April, which was their way of giving back to the modern-day heroes for their sacrifices.

The Honda Click Game Changer Philippines, a motorcycle club for Honda Click riders, started a charity program through charity rides to deliver essentials and relief goods to the victims of the Gloria V Fire in Quezon City last July 19.

These Motorcycle clubs show how Honda continues to encourage riders to help and share the meaning of community with its “ONE DREAM” campaign, which aims to inspire fulfill the dreams of Filipino riders through the joy of mobility.

The Honda BeAT Fi, XRM125, and Click are only three motorcycles from the wide array of cutting-edge motorcycles created by Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI), the no. 1 motorcycle manufacturer in the Philippines.

There are other Motorcycle Clubs out there, geared up with HPI’s motorcycles like the Honda Genio, PCX150, AirBlade150, ADV150, Supra GTR150, and more, sharing within their members the value of building a community and giving back to others in need.

There is a lot more to explore from Honda and its wide array of motorcycles.

Santé, to Provide Job Opportunities Amid COVID-19

Pasig City, Philippines; August 6, 2020—Santé, one of the active global players in the direct selling and wellness industry, announced recently that it is looking to provide job opportunities for those whose livelihood is affected by the current global health crisis.

Despite the pandemic, the company continues to receive a steady demand for its premier organic health and wellness products and services, Santé CEO Joey Marcelo noted.

Known for its flagship product, Santé Barley, the company has developed a comprehensive selection of everyday barley-based products. They are made, specifically with organic barley grass, as certified by BioGro, New Zealand’s leading organic certification agency.

“We’ve seen the change in the buying behavior of our customers. People are buying online and are also shifting their focus to preventive care. Since Santé’s products fall under the wellness category, we continue to receive a growing demand,” added Marcelo.

In March, the demand for Santé’s Daily-C, a non-acidic Vitamin C, has increased by more than 1000 percent.

This steady growth urged the company to strengthen its online presence. It also utilized technology to transform quickly and cater to the demands of the “new normal.” The move also aims to attract more distributors, called Santé Business Owners, to put up their own direct selling business.

“We reacted fast, making sure that our online systems are working, from our customer services to online ordering systems. Most importantly, we made sure that the top management was visible. Virtual meetings were done daily with our teams and business owners,” Marcelo added.

Present in 10 key cities worldwide, there are thousands of independent Santé business owners. Marcelo said, only half of them were active last year. “We are expecting more than 50 percent increase in the number of our business owners in the next couple of months,” he noted.

Santé makes it even safer and easier for potential business owners to jumpstart their business. With Santé’s Engage system, its business owners are easily plugged into a series of leadership, product, and business training aimed to help equip and aid in their growth both as a person and as a businessman.

Fastly adapting to the Covid-19 situation, Santé’s Engage webinars are all done online and are given for free.

Santé also developed a mobile app (IOS, Android), which helps its business owners to conveniently order products and have them shipped. They can also transact everything through the company’s website.

“Our Business Owners are glad to have a business that is, in a way, pandemic-proof. The global health crisis may have minimized person-to-person interactions, but we have helped them to shift to online selling. They are now all back on track,” Marcelo said. “Santé will remain wide open for those who want to jumpstart their direct-selling business.”
