Barangay Shopee launched to help communities in need

With its mission of bettering the lives of Filipinos across the country through technology, Shopee has helped millions of local buyers and sellers adopt e-commerce seamlessly through its meaningful campaigns and initiatives.

In time for its much-awaited double-day sale, the 9.9 Super Shopping Day, Shopee launches Barangay Shopee, the newest initiative under its Shopee Bayanihan CSR program, designed to help communities in need by enabling Filipinos to win a sponsored community project for their barangay.

Through this contest, Shopee users from all over the Philippines have the chance to win a community project that will help address the needs of their barangay.

Winners of the contest can choose their own community project that all members of their barangay can benefit from, such as a new basketball court, multi-purpose hall renovation, public school supplies, and other community-building projects.

Starting August 25 up to September 9, users can join Barangay Shopee by posting video entries on Facebook and submitting the link via the Barangay Shopee page in the app. Joining the online contest can be done in three simple steps:

  1. Create a 1-2 minute video with at least 3 barangay members and answer the questions:
    • Bakit kayo ang dapat tawagin na “Barangay Shopee”?
    • Paano pwedeng tulungan ng Shopee ang inyong Barangay?
  2. Post the video on Facebook, following these requirements:
    • Follow and tag @ShopeePH on Facebook
    • Post is public
    • Use the hashtag #BarangayShopee in the caption
  3. Submit the link to your video via the Barangay Shopee page in the Shopee app.

Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, shared “We are thrilled to be launching our newest initiative, Barangay Shopee. In everything that we do, we work towards our main mission of bettering the lives of our users, sellers, and communities through technology. Through Barangay Shopee, our goal is to foster the community spirit of barangays from all over the Philippines and uplift them by providing them with a community project that their whole barangay can benefit from. We look forward to crafting even more initiatives that will help make e-commerce more accessible for all.”

Barangay Shopee is the newest initiative under Shopee Bayanihan, the company’s umbrella CSR program that seeks to harness the power of technology to help communities benefit from digital transformation, wherever they are in the Philippines.

Specs comparison: All the Huawei P40 models

Huawei has just revealed three new models for the P40 lineup through an online event. These handsets are armed with hardware that mainly focus on mobile photography and carry premium features to rival today’s flagship phones. Check out our specs and price comparison for the three variants and see which model could best suit your needs.

[supsystic-tables id=2]

One of the main deciding factors, if you’re to choose between these three, is camera capabilities. The top-of-the-line P40 Pro Plus is equipped with two optical zoom cameras with up to 10x optical zoom. The P40 Pro has up to 5x optical zoom, and the base P40 goes up to 3x optical zoom.

Another difference lies in the build quality of its back. While both the P40 and P40 Pro come in Gorilla Glass protection, the P40 Pro Plus takes it a step further and goes for ceramic which is said to be as strong as sapphire.

In terms of similarities, the mid-tier P40 Pro shares the same specs as the P40 Pro Plus in display, front camera, battery size, among others. All three variants also run on the same Kirin 990 processor — a step up from the previous P30 Pro’s Kirin 980 CPU.

Apart from those specs, the new P40 series comes with Celia. Celia is your new voice assistant similar to Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa. And yes, you can call it by saying, “Hey Celia.” You can then ask it to make calls, set reminders, and perform tasks that voice assistants commonly do.

Pricing for the P40 series are as follows. The P40 and P40 Pro will be available globally come April 7, while the P40 Pro Plus will be up for grabs in June 2020.

  • Huawei P40 – EUR 799 (8GB/128GB)
  • Huawei P40 Pro – EUR 999 (8GB/256GB)
  • Huawei P40 Pro Plus – EUR 1,399 (8GB/512GB)
