HARI launches Hyundai i20 Cross Sport in PH

Cross over to more excitement with the newest offering from Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI), the Hyundai i20 Cross Sport. The new vehicle expands the Hyundai lineup, giving the customers a car choice that stands out from the usual hatchback driving experience.
The i20 Cross Sport will come in two (2) engine types: 1.4 Kappa Petrol with Dual MPI with VIS (Variable Intake System), and a 1.4 U2 CRDi Diesel, with 5-speed manual transmission and 6-speed manual transmission respectively, giving drivers the freedom and control in their driving experience with the i20 Cross Sport. Nonetheless, other drivers who prefer a minimalist and simplistic drive over the stick shift can opt for the automatic transmission in the 1.4 Kappa Petrol engine.

The new i20 Cross Sport is also equipped with roof rails, which also provide both looks and use to the car. The silver finish improves the rugged and sporty appeal, and its form is sturdy enough to carry sports gear or other equipment catering to outdoor activities.

Achieve a secure ride even during long drives at higher speeds with the rear tailgate spoiler of the i20 Cross Sport, as it provides excellent aerodynamics while giving your car’s rear side a compelling view. The tailgate spoiler comes with a stop lamp, also an essential for road safety.

Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 gives i20 Cross Sport the looks that can attract any road onlooker. Headlining its captivating exterior design are projector headlamps and an aggressive front grille that give the i20 a unique and pleasing image, aside from its solid performance credentials. The headlamps also come with Cornering Headlamps to provide better illumination while driving; all this is achieved while still infusing a sense of beauty in the car.

Any adventure is not worth having without even an inch of safety, and the i20 Cross Sport is abundant on features to help you drive the right way on the road. First on the list is its Anti-lock Braking System or ABS, which prevents over-steering on slippery surfaces by turning on stable braking, giving you better control on the wheel despite unfavorable weather conditions. In any case of a mishap, ABS prevents wheel lock-up during panic breaking, so you can quickly regain control of the car.

When parking, go through it like a pro with Reverse Parking Sensors that alert you of obstacles on the rear side. The Steering Adaptive Parking Guideline, which is a rear camera parking that is controlled by your steering, will precisely guide you in complex and congested parking spaces. Also, when you’re parked in a dark place and you struggle to locate your car, the i20 Cross Sport’s headlamp escort function allows the headlamp to be turned on for a limited time, so you can easily find your car.

So if it comes down to a difficult decision—whether to go sedan or hatchback, or maybe shift to something bigger like a Compact SUV, there’s no more need to worry. The i20 Cross Sport gives the best of all worlds all rolled into one active and exciting ride.

Twin wins for China Bank at the 5th Asian Excellence Awards

China Bank and its SVP for Investor and Corporate Relations Alexander C. Escucha were recognized at the recent 5th Asian Excellence Awards in Hong Kong. China Bank was named Best Investor Relations Company (Philippines), while Escucha was named Best Investor Relations Professional (Philippines).

Organized by Corporate Governance Asia, the Asian Excellence Awards distinguish the public companies in the region that perform consistent excellence in corporate governance. The companies are evaluated on aspects such as investor relations, corporate social responsibility, financial performance, and business ethics.

China Bank was one of the 22 awardees for the Philippines in the Best Investor Relations Company category, along with SM conglomerate companies BDO, SM Investments Corporation (SMIC), and SM Prime Holdings.

Escucha was one of the seven Best Investor Relations Professional awardees for the Philippines, including SVP for Investor Relations Corazon C. Guidote of SMIC.

Investor Relations (IR) is a key component of corporate governance at China Bank. A financial discipline and a communication function, it is fundamental in its role of promoting transparency and investor confidence. According to Escucha, IR facilitates a better understanding, for the Bank’s investors and the financial community, of how China Bank conducts business and makes money ethically, and for Management, of investors’ expectations of China Bank.

“Through regular two-way communication and interaction with investors, analysts, regulators, the financial news media, and other stakeholder groups, IR is shaping the standards of governance at China Bank, enabling us to benchmark the Bank’s performance against our peers, get a clearer sense of the concerns and expectations of our diverse investors, and develop strategies to address these concerns and expectations and increase shareholder value,” said Escucha.

Late last year, Corporate Governance Asia, the most authoritative quarterly magazine on corporate governance in Asia, also named China Bank as Asia’s Outstanding Company on Corporate Governance (Philippines), and its corporate secretary, Atty. Corazon I. Morando, as Asian Company Secretary of the Year (Philippines).

Founded in 1920, China Bank is the country’s first privately-owned local commercial bank and now the fifth largest private universal bank with P471 billion in assets. It serves the banking needs of the corporate, commercial, and retail markets. The China Bank Group has 480 branches to date: 316 for China Bank, 86 for China Bank Savings, and 78 for Plantersbank. This vast branch network is complemented by electronic banking channels—ATM, online, mobile, and phone banking—that provide 24/7 service.

A photo of the LG Magna was uploaded with the caption, “Curved phones are finally here in the Philippines!”. For those unfamiliar, it boasts a curved back for better handling and a wide-angle front camera to accommodate more people during a group selfie.

The handset is also loaded with features like Glance View, Gesture Shot, and Touch & Shoot, but as we’ve mentioned earlier its most attractive characteristic is a midrange price that should justify the kind of performance its users will be getting.

Interested in this upcoming handset? If the units are already here in the Philippines then it’s only a matter of time until they make it available. Stay tuned as we’ll be keeping tabs on its local announcement.

New Park Triangle breaks ground

New Park Triangle project officially breaks ground, expanding the BGC community’s access to retail and lifestyle choices.

All roads led to Bonifacio Global City last February 26 as the retail and mixed-use segment of Ayala Land’s latest development, Park Triangle, broke ground in Taguig.

The triangular lot, aptly called Park Triangle, is intended to seamlessly bring the cluster of developments in the vicinity together to reflect the kind of place BGC has set itself out to do. On one side will be the first and only Kidzania in the country, scheduled to open this summer, where children can recreate and experience jobs firsthand. On top will be a multi-purpose event venue to cater to the BGC community’s growing needs.

Seamlessly blending Park Triangle Residences and Park Triangle Corporate Center is the four-level retail podium that will fill the continuous demand for that live, work and shop lifestyle of BGC. Dubbed as “The preferred center for urban home and lifestyle choices”, Ayala Malls Park Triangle will house an array of premium retail and specialty food concepts alongside a supermarket, top global fashion brands and retail power centers targeted to cater to BGC’s multi-faceted community.
