Time to work and play with Taiwan Excellence

The Philippine Statistics Authority reported last March that eight million Filipinos are overworked. They work well beyond the required 48 hours per week—equivalent to one additional day, which inhibits quality time with family, adequate sleep, and general well-being. These statistics suggest that Filipinos should take a step back and strive to strike a balance between their professional and personal lives.

The Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) is pleased to present innovative products that have been developed to help achieve a better work-life balance. Through its Taiwan Excellence campaign, TAITRA introduces wonderful products that boost quality of life.

Every day is an opportunity to get active

Our daily commute can consume so much of our time. Consider switching up your mode of transportation. 


Check out Tern’s Verge X10, a portable bike that disassembles in just 10 seconds. Its wheels are ultra-light, giving city riders a great biking experience. If you’re traveling long distances, try Heartway’s lightweight and compact S21 EasyMove Scooter. It can travel as fast as 4 miles per hour, and is easily transportable through its remote-controlled folding feature. It comes with a travel case so you can take it with you on your next trips.

Learn something new

Weekends are a good time to reward yourself for the week’s accomplishments and to reenergize for what’s ahead. However, this doesn’t mean cozying yourself up at home to sleep, reading or binge-watching your favorite TV shows. Discover new, relaxing, and revitalizing hobbies to enjoy on your days off.


Test your athletic abilities and push yourself physically by joining a triathlon. And make sure you have essential gear like the Revolution Tri-Max Fabric from AROPEC Sports’ Triathlon Compression Lycra Suit. It’s made with a special super-stretch fiber that supports muscles and keeps you comfortable during and after cycling to optimize performance.

If you prefer stress-relieving activities, golf is a great alternative. Hono’s The Best Caddie Putter can help you master the game faster. It has a built-in Slope Detector to improve your aim and a non-slip rubber grip to enhance your comfort. Or bring the Step2Gold’s Ta-Da Chair on your next trip to the golf course. It transforms a walking stick into a chair in just a few steps and enables a convenient way to get a breather on busy days.

Find time to de-stress


Unwinding is crucial and allows you to boost energy levels for your next activity.
Photowalking is a physically less demanding hobby and the PaperShoot Hinoki Digital Camera is a great companion. A first-of-its-kind, this digital camera is made of wood, uses a one-button system for hassle-free control, and comes with wide-angle and fisheye lenses, a micro USB port for effortless exporting, and a 5 MP CMOS image sensor.

It’s easier to achieve a work-life balance with these Taiwan Excellence-approved products. For more information on Taiwan Excellence accredited products, visit the interactive Taiwan Excellence Experience Zone 3 at the Glorietta Activity Center on November 24 to 26.

The effects of Goldwin Monteverde's reported resignation from Adamson

On the afternoon of April 11, 2017, SPIN.ph reported that coach Goldwin Monteverde has resigned from his position as head coach of the Adamson Baby Falcons. Rumors of coach Goldwin's resignation has been going around High School basketball circles, so the news of the resignation didn't come as that much of a surprise for insiders. (Photo Credit: Hazel Siy) But for fans, the move came as quite the surprise. After all, the Baby Falcons were still projected to contend for a championship despite the controversial end that they had to their Season 79 campaign. They weren't losing that much key players to graduation, and the desire for redemption was the most important part in all of this. The fact of the matter is, Goldwin Monteverde could very well be going out of the Adamson basketball program. This move creates then a number of effects not just for the San Marcelino-based school, but also the rest of High School basketball.  1. The effect it has on the Adamson Ju

Troy Mallillin is a Blue Eagle. Now what?

(Photo Credit: Janine Torre, The GUIDON) Against the JRU Heavy Bombers, Troy Mallillin finally made his much awaited debut as a Blue Eagle. Just seeing him in uniform was already enough for fans of the Blue Eagles to go wild. Seeing a NCAA Juniors MVP wear an Ateneo jersey feels weird, for any fan. Seeing a former La Salle Greenhills player wear the blue and white? It's like an Ateneo High School boy wearing a La Salle jersey. Oh.. wait... Obviously, any Atenean is brimming with excitement right now after managing to secure (or is it really secure?) the services of the former NCAA Juniors MVP. But what else are the other implications of Troy Mallillin taking his talents to Katipunan? Let's break it down: In the short term Right now, don't expect Troy to get a lot of minutes. As mentioned before , Ateneo is filled with a number of forwards in Mike Nieto, Vince Tolentino and Raffy Verano. Shaun Ildefonso is no longer in that fray of forwards after taking his talen
