MANILA – Probably the biggest and most enthusiastic group at the Philippine Cancer Society (PCS)’s Relay for Life event recently held at the Quezon City Memorial Circle, the 250 plus-strong contingent from Brother International Philippines, Corp. (Brother PH), along with their partners, family and friends, took turns going around the oval track in this year’s cancer awareness overnight vigil.

This is the fifth consecutive year that Brother PH joined PCS’s Relay for Life, which annually raises funds for cancer awareness and patients’ services.

Brother Philippines President Glenn P. Hocson said that their continued support for the event allows the company to contribute funds for cancer patients and support groups, give moral support to all patients battling the disease, and cheer on the cancer survivors who already won the fight against the Big C.

Hocson said that it is also the company’s way of providing its employees, as well as the company’s partners, opportunities to give back to those in need of compassion and support and to make them aware of the health risks that may lead to cancer.

The company’s support for the program is in line with the Brother Group’s “Golden Ring Project”, where different offices of Brother worldwide participate in Relay for Life events in their respective countries. A symbolic sash embroidered with the flag of each of the participating countries is being routed yearly so that they can add their latest year of participation in the embroidery work.

“We echo Relay for Life’s battle cry:  celebrate life, remember those who died of cancer, fight back and—If I may add—prevent cancer by living a healthy lifestyle,” said Hocson.

In line with Brother’s Golden Ring Project, the global Brother group initiated a symbolic sash which is being routed yearly so that each participating country can add their latest year of contribution in the embroidery work.

LG invites you to enjoy more function, more style with new K Series

One-month promo offers K10 LTE buyers the innovative Quick Cover case for FREE

The K4 LTE offers LG’s popular camera features such as Gesture Shot and Flash for Selfie inherited from its G Series, making it a standout among competitors.

The K10 LTE, on the other hand, sports a 5.3-inch HD In-Cell Touch display and is one of the first to run on Android 6.0Marshmallow OS.

With this sleek and contemporary exterior, the K10 LTE offers a high-end look and feel for a friendly budget.

A special add-on feature to the K10 LTE is the Quick Cover flip case which gives users a view of the entire strip along the right side of the display, instead of a small window found in previous QuickWindow cases. The visible strip is protected by a transparent extension from the main case and displays relevant information like time, date and events. Users can even answer calls without the need to flip the cover open.

For consumers with active lifestyles, the K10 LTE  is designed with multimedia creating and consumption in mind with its roomy display and advanced camera functions for this category—13MP rear and  5 MP  front. Its front camera highlights the same Gesture Shot and Flash for Selfie also found in the K4 LTE.
