Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach Interviews “Candidates” Seeking to Join Online ESL Platform 51Talk

Pia Wurtzbach interviews candidates who wish to be part of online English platform 51Talk. The live stream, with hints of a reality and talent show, aims to attract 30,000 new online English teachers to join the platform.

Manila, Philippines – 51Talk, together with their new Philippine brand ambassador, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, held its first-ever live stream interview via Facebook after hundreds of aspiring online English teachers signed-up to get a chance to be part of the show. The live stream is part of 51Talk’s campaign to invite qualified Filipinos who are interested to take advantage of the 30,000 home-based online teaching opportunities offered by 51Talk where people can teach, learn and most importantly – earn. 

Listed in the New York Stock Exchange, 51Talk is the leading online English education platform that connects thousands of Filipino teachers to foreign English language learners via an interactive virtual classroom.

More than 70,000 viewers tuned in and joined the fun and inspiring live stream which allowed them to learn more about the teach at home opportunity and acquainted them with the application process that can be completed in as fast as three days. Pia interviewed nine pre-selected candidates from different backgrounds who shared their heartwarming stories on how they found hope in 51Talk after losing their jobs or livelihood.

Several of the candidates expressed how the pandemic has affected their current livelihood, especially those who belong to the travel and events industries. 

Paula, a professional dancer and instructor who has been performing and teaching for 14 years, had a lot of her events and classes cancelled due to COVID-19. She came across the 51Talk online teaching opportunity and decided to give it a shot since she has teaching experience.

“I want to be able to translate my teaching skills from dance and performance arts into teaching English. I just love sharing what I know and see my students grow into the best versions of themselves,” shared Paula. 

Trina, a professional events host, found herself in the same boat as a lot of her hosting gigs were cancelled or postponed indefinitely. 

“While the situation we are in can be very disheartening, I decided to try out as a 51Talk teacher and I’m happy that I made it to this fun interview with no less than Miss Universe  Pia Wurtzbach!” exclaimed Trina. Trina gave the viewers a taste of her fun, entertaining energy as she sang songs both in English and Chinese

Pearl, another one of the candidates, candidly shared how the past few months have been very tough for those in the travel industry. She was about to return as a flight attendant after her maternity leave but her retraining was put on hold as travel restrictions are still in place. Having no income, Pearl said she had to find a stable and sustainable livelihood that would allow her to help her husband, especially now that they have their first child. 

“When I learned about the opportunity in 51Talk, it gave me hope and made me revisit my childhood dream of becoming an educator,” shared Pearl. “Even if I don’t have any teaching experience, I didn’t hesitate to sign-up. I borrowed my sister’s laptop just so I could apply. I’m very excited to start teaching in 51Talk.”

According to 51Talk teacher Angelo Lex who co-hosted the show, being an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher is very profitable as he gets to earn at the comfort and safety of his own home in his preferred schedule. He also shared his excitement when he learned of the platform’s recent announcement about the 20 million pesos incentive program exclusively for 51Talk teachers this month. 

Pia felt ecstatic and inspired since this is her first stint in interviewing candidates online. “It’s a humbling experience to interview such incredible candidates from all walks of life, to hear their unique stories and to witness how talented and passionate they all are,” shared Pia.

Towards the end of the show, Pia said she was moved after hearing the story of one of the candidates, Pearl, the flight attendant who borrowed her sister’s laptop just so she could sign-up to be a teacher at 51Talk. Pia surprised everyone as she decided to personally give Pearl a laptop to help her get started in her online teaching career. 

“We see your hard work and we’re very sorry for what you’re going through as a young mom. I find you very engaging and who has so much potential,” said Pia.

Aspiring online English teacher Pearl became emotional when Pia Wurtzbach surprisingly announced she would give Pearl a laptop so she can start earning from home to support her family. Pearl was a flight attendant who lost her job but found hope in 51Talk. 

“It’s such an honor to represent 51Talk as their brand ambassador and to be able to connect to thousands of Filipinos through this live stream. I hope it inspired them and gave them joy.” 

Pia considers empowering Filipinos as her top advocacy, now more than ever when thousands of Filipinos have lost their livelihood due to the pandemic.

“I am encouraging all qualified individuals to sign-up and to seize this wonderful livelihood opportunity. See you in our next live stream!” exclaimed Pia. 

Next month, 51Talk will be doing another round of interviews with a new set of candidates via their official Facebook page. To get a chance to be interviewed, showcase your talent, and have a #DateWithPiaAt51Talk, sign-up via 51Talk’s website at www.51Talk.ph.

Baby-led Weaning Esssentials

It's funny how I've had two older kids and yet I still feel like a first time Mom with my third son, Gadi. Things have changed when it comes to baby trends since I first gave birth. One example is how we feed babies.

Years ago, we used to feed babies using the traditional method. This includes feeding them with purees. When my second child was born, we did the same thing to him. Now, with my third child, I was introduced to "Baby-led Weaning" and we chose this other side of the road.

"Baby-led Weaning" or "BLW" means your child is in charge of eating. This is where finger foods are introduced rather than spoon-fed purees.

If you think Baby-led Weaning is for you, make sure you've got everything that you need. Gadi needs items that will help him feed himself and will make the journey easy and enjoyable for us.

So, here are the basic items we've been using which I find invaluable:

1. Suction Plate and Utensils

I love the idea of using a suction plate as this prevents babies from flipping their food. It sticks really well on the tray. Plus it comes with cute designs and food dividers. The beginner spoon and fork helps my son to feed himself using utensils. This also aids in transitioning him from using hands to proper utensils.

2. Straw Cup or Regular Cups

We started our littlest man Gadi with an open cup and he learned naturally. Having a straw cup is also handy especially if you want a closed container and less spillage. Sometimes, if I want to let him drink on his own, I use the straw cup.

3. High Chair

Any high chair with a tray will do. There are different types you can choose from depending on your preference, there's wooden or plastic. Just make sure to choose easy to clean and lightweight. I would prefer a foldable one to save space when not in use.

4. Waterproof Bibs

The mess is inevitable with BLW. It is something you have to embrace if you let your baby feed himself. This is another tool to help you clean up and protect babies from the mess. I love to use the one with a catcher so there will be less food on the floor. The silicone bibs are adjustable and easy to clean.

5. Cooking Tools

There are different cutlers and bento tools you can use to add decorations to the food. It will help the food look visually appealing. You can make different shapes, themes, and styles. I'm sure you'll enjoy preparing your little one's food too.

6. Teeth and Gum Care

We want our kids to have good oral health and it should start, well, as early as they started eating solid food. An age-appropriate tooth and gum brush and tooth gel are nice to have as it promotes healthy teeth and gums.

That’s it for my Baby-Led Weaning Essentials list! My #LittlestMan Gadi is only 8 months old

and we're still learning this. We've been on the journey for over a month now and we've been enjoying the journey immensely.

Here's a compilation of our one month journey:

You are SAFE at The Manila Hotel

TMH Lobby: The Grand Lobby of the historic Manila Hotel will light up again soon as the hotel partially reopens to accept guests beginning July 3, 2020

Just a day before the historic hotel’s founding anniversary, The Manila Hotel plans to partially open its doors to its valued guests, with the famed Café Ilang Ilang, the Lobby Lounge, and the Delicatessen resuming operations on July 3, 2020. A rebirth of sorts after months of following the government’s quarantine protocols, the hotel has adjusted along with the rest of the world in navigating the “new normal,” and puts a high premium on the well-being of guests. 

With the lobby shining bright anew signifying eternal hope, The Manila Hotel commemorates its 108th founding anniversary on July 4 by welcoming guests with an enduring brand of service that is now focused on enhanced health, hygiene, and sanitation protocols in line with DOH guidelines. 

As the hotel prepares for the reopening, Atty Joey Lina, the president of The Manila Hotel, assures the public, “You are safe here. We have taken every precaution to heart so you and your loved ones can have peace of mind when you visit or stay with us.”

To its valued guests who are waiting for Café Ilang Ilang to open, The Manila Hotel offers its 108th Anniversary Promo that gives the first 108 customers for the first 108 days of its reopening (including Saturdays and Sundays) a special dining rate of only Php1,250 for lunch and only Php1,550 for dinner. Café Ilang Ilang likewise returns with a new system for dining where guests can “order and eat all you can,” meaning they can order as much food as they want from the selection of dishes at a fixed price. 

Both Café Ilang Ilang and the Lobby Lounge will be open with limited seating capacity. Thorough sanitation procedures will be implemented, and guests can order using the disposable menu, eat using cutlery in sealed containers, and even use tables with acrylic dividers. Front-facing personnel communicating with guests like Guest Services Officers (GSOs) and waiters will don masks, gloves, and face shields. To limit contact with guests, Café Ilang Ilang is also fine-tuning its contactless ordering and payment system.

Adopting best practices, the hotel launches a comprehensive initiative to assure its patrons they are safe at The Manila Hotel. High-traffic public areas will have hygiene reminder signages and distance indicators, and guests will be asked to undergo mandatory temperature checks and health declaration procedures. Limited capacity will also be implemented in elevators, while several hotel facilities will remain closed including the spa, swimming pool, gym, and other areas.  

High-touch points like door handles, elevator buttons, public area furniture, and others will be sanitized multiple times per day using UV technology. Tests reveal that UV sanitation greatly reduces the bacteria count on surfaces, as demonstrated by lower RLU readings—whose value is used as a measure of surface cleanliness—after the procedure. 

Barring announcements from the government to the contrary, the hotel also plans to start accepting room bookings by August 2020.  The public will be assured of rooms thoroughly cleaned first with UV-C light technology to eliminate germs, bacteria, and viruses; followed by medical-grade sterilizing and disinfecting solutions. A change of fresh and sanitized linens; sanitation of touchpoints in the room including remote controls, lamps, etc.; and thorough bathroom disinfection are also part of the procedure. Guests will also receive personal wellness kits, issued a UV-sanitized keycard, and arrive to guestrooms with a seal of assurance that they are the first to enter the sanitized environment.

Because taking care of its own people means they can take better care of guests, The Manila Hotel has invested on testing its staff upon return to work to ensure they are healthy. The culinary team strictly adheres to stringent protocols on proper hygiene, hand washing, and food handling. Staff will be required to wear PPEs as needed, and strict implementation of distancing measures will be done in the offices, front desk, and other areas frequent by guests. 

The Manila Hotel looks forward to welcoming both loyal and new guests with the kind of service it is known for, with the assurance that “YOU ARE SAFE HERE” is not just a tagline but a commitment it truly means to uphold.

Shapewear to Save the Day!

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are mine.

It's been 8 months since I gave birth to my third child. Although, I'm over the postpartum period and my body returns to a non-pregnant state. It seems my postpartum belly just doesn't seem to go away. Haha. I'm sure some moms can relate to me.

Although I resolved to go back to exercising and dancing like I used to and shed some pounds off, I'm just too busy about motherhood that I care less about it anymore. Taking care of my little men and the house chores seem to drain all my energy. Besides, since we started our baby-led journey and as I began to prepare meals for my #LittlestManGadi, my love for baking rekindled. And thus, we enjoy eating sweet treats every now and then.

Good thing I don't need to worry about bulging tummy anymore. ShapeWear is here to save the day! Shapewear has become one of the essential wardrobe collections for women these days. The best full body shapewear offers a lot of benefits from helping the body to contour, to achieving that figure that will best compliment your dress.

At some point in our mommy's life, we want to feel like Cinderella and to look at our best. But most of the time our Mommy tummy could be an issue, agree? I remember wearing a long dress at a friend's wedding. It was a really nice dress except that I look pregnant because of my.... oh well, tummy! I promised not to wear that dress anymore. But everything changed until I learned about shapewear from another friend of mine. Since then, I don't fear to bring out that old long dress for an upcoming formal event. I don't fret wearing a cheap mini dress because I know now how to feel confident and put-together, thanks to shapewear!

Good thing I don't need to worry about bulging tummy anymore. ShapeWear is here to save the day! Shapewear has become one of the essential wardrobe collections for women these days. The best full body shapewear offers a lot of benefits from helping the body to contour, to achieving that figure that will best compliment your dress.

At some point in our mommy's life, we want to feel like Cinderella and to look at our best. But most of the time our Mommy tummy could be an issue, agree? I remember wearing a long dress at a friend's wedding. It was a really nice dress except that I look pregnant because of my.... oh well, tummy! I promised not to wear that dress anymore. But everything changed until I learned about shapewear from another friend of mine. Since then, I don't fear to bring out that old long dress for an upcoming formal event. I don't fret wearing a cheap mini dress because I know now how to feel confident and put-together, thanks to shapewear!
