The Mister and Miss Philippine Eagles 2024 pageant, which TFOE-PE Inc. is hosting this year, has a distinctive vision that goes beyond conventional beauty pageants.

EastWest Ageas Wins Quill and Anvil Awards

EastWest Ageas recently scored wins for its brand transition campaign from two prestigious award-giving bodies: an Award of Merit from the 20th Philippine Quill Awards and a Silver Award from the 59th Anvil Awards.

The two respected organizations recognize exemplary bodies of work in business communications, marketing, and public relations. “We are honored to receive these awards, as they show that we are on the right track on our journey to even greater success.  And I am immensely proud of our team,” shares EastWest Ageas President and CEO Sjoerd Smeets.

The Philippine Quill Awards is given by the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Philippines. These awards recognize excellence in strategic communication and outstanding communication skills in the country.

Presented annually by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP), the Anvil Award is regarded as the most prestigious symbol of excellence in public relations practice in the country. Entries are evaluated in three phases by distinguished panels of screeners, judges, and multi-sectoral jurors, both from the Philippines and abroad.

Rebranding to EastWest Ageas

The award-winning campaign was born through the partnership between EastWest Bank, one of the country’s fastest-rising banks with 30 years of local experience, and Ageas, the Belgium-based global insurance company with 200 years of insurance expertise. The company officially transitioned into EastWest Ageas in 2022.

“We needed a name that captures our ambitions to grow and serve more Filipinos so they can have a better tomorrow while also reinforcing our story to the public,” Joub Miradora, Chief Customer Officer, shares.

EastWest Ageas (EWA), formerly Troo, started its life insurance operations in the Philippines in 2015. In its first year, the company ranked 34th and reached the 12th spot by the end of 2022. Now, EastWest Ageas aims to grow even further in the industry by leveraging its strong corporate culture and a range of customer-centric business transformations. And the first transformation was the brand itself.

With these recognitions from the Philippine Quill Awards and the Anvil Awards, the brand transition is a testament to the power of taking risks and embracing the promise that transformation brings. More can be expected from EastWest Ageas in 2024 as the company continues to build a better tomorrow for all Filipinos.

EastWest Ageas is a joint venture between EastWest Bank and Ageas.

2GO, a division of SM Investments Corporation and the biggest logistics and transportation provider in the Philippines, has just signed an agreement with the National University (NU) to offer marine experiential on-the-job training to students majoring in tourism and hospitality at NU through 2GO’s Sea Solutions Business Unit. Students will be better prepared for their professional employment after graduation thanks to this strategic partnership, which will provide them with real-world work experience.

Participating students will spend three years onboard 2GO vessels, learning about local hospitality and tourism on a seven-day trip. While onboard, students will help out with the hotel and F&B operations and listen to regular lectures from training instructors on topics like housekeeping, F&B, and guest interactions.

National University President Dr. Renato Carlos H. Ermita stated: “Our students will enhance their knowledge, experience, and employability upon graduation through the 2GO Group, Inc.’s internship program. National University is dedicated to providing top-notch educational opportunities.”

The onboard learning program will provide students with immersive work experiences onboard similar to a cruise for 5 to 7 days, focusing on 2GO’s expertise in hospitality services. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in a career as a cruise operator to obtain hands-on training in the ship’s hotel management. As a vital link between academic study and real-world experience in the ever-changing service sector, this program is a must-have for National University’s graduating class.

Sharon Musngi-Ngo, who is the head of 2GO Group Inc.’s sea solutions business unit, was very excited about the internship program and the opportunity to work with National University. Making sure students have an easy time leaping into the workforce is our top priority in our leadership and education programs.

The internship program is scheduled to run from 2024 to 2027 and will provide students who participate with mentorship, advice, and insights into the sector. National University and 2GO Group Inc. are partnering because they believe it will have a positive effect on students’ lives and careers.

A higher level of practical experience
Students from all around the country have had access to 2GO’s on-the-job training opportunities, making the company a major participant in the maritime training industry. To give students a chance to put their classroom learning into practice, the company gladly takes on and mentors students majoring in tourism, hotel and restaurant management, and cruise ship management.

When it comes to domestic tourism and the significance of safe and convenient transportation of people and products, we at the SM Group know how important it is. President and Chief Executive Officer of 2GO and, concurrently, SM Investments, Frederic C. DyBuncio, stated that the partnership with academic institutions like NU will attract and retain more qualified individuals in the travel and logistics industries.

Technical marine majors with an emphasis in marine engineering or transportation can participate in 2GO’s internship programs. With the help of these programs, people who want to work in the marine industry can get the hands-on experience and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen field.

School trips tailored to include crucial topics are also available from 2GO. Learn the ropes with these concise one-hour day excursions that cover the ship’s accommodations, navigation, classification, safety and security features, and daily routines.

Different 2GO apprenticeship programs have different cutoffs for different majors, but each ship may hold 30–300 students.
