True stories of Overseas Filipinos shine in global spotlight, in time for PH Independence Day

Leave a comment

Filipino caregivers, barista featured in LA, New York, UK, and Dubai

NEW YORK, June 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — True stories of successful Overseas Filipinos are making the rounds globally, in time for Independence Day in the Philippines.


Videos featuring Charmaine “Charm” Espinoza, a Filipina caregiver in the United Kingdom and Dan Johnson “DJ” Noblesa, a Filipino barista in Italy, can be viewed in Times Square in New York, and LA billboards in Inglewood, Los Angeles, California from June 12 to June 13.

The videos are part of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Creative Communications (OPACC)’s new country branding campaign ‘We Give the World Our Best – The Philippines, featuring the true stories of Overseas Filipinos giving their best, wherever they are in the world.

OFWs in the global spotlight

Charm and DJ’s videos had also earlier appeared in New York Times Square and Dubai‘s La Mer City Walk, two of the most prominent and modern cities in the world.

UK nurse May Parsons, meanwhile, was the face of the bus ad shown in London on no less than the day of King Charles III’s coronation. May was the first nurse to have administered the COVID-19 vaccine in the United Kingdom, which was very much recognized by the UK government.

OPACC says the London bus ad had been rolled out during the momentous occasion to draw in the huge crowds, and communicate the inspiring message that Filipinos give their best wherever they are and in whatever they do.

“At its core, the project intends to let the whole world know how good, compassionate, and competent Filipinos are. Filipinos bring their ‘best’ through daily actions that touch lives all over the world,” says OPACC Sec. Paul Soriano.

A Pinoy’s unique values

In their videos, both Charm and May were both lauded by their foreign patients for their untiring and dedicated service, manifesting how they showed true care, or the malasakit, maasikaso and maalaga values that comes naturally from every Filipino.

“Nursing is not the easiest job in the world, in fact, it’s emotionally draining. I truly believe in the things that I do, because of where I come from, our resilience, our dedication… I gave my best, and my heart, I am the Philippines,” May says in the video, on how she performs her daily routine of caring for the sick in the UK.

Charm, on the other hand, is seen in the video patiently attending to an elderly lady, who gradually changed her demeanor because of Charm’s untiring and caring attitude.

In the video, while the song “Lean on Me” was playing, Charm said: “I do what’s right, I give my best, I keep caring.”

In the next clip, Charm is introduced by her elderly patient to the family as “My friend, from the Philippines,” and her son, appreciatively looking at Charm, whispered a warm thank you.

The video ended with Charm proudly saying: “I am Charm, I am the Philippines,”

In the video in Italy, the owner of a coffee shop said that “for coffee-loving people, Italy is where they should go. And in their shop, they honor their barista, not their coffee machines.”

The owner added while showing how their coffee were made and brewed: “Because coffee is like life, it’s all about how you make it; when your barista is the best, you can taste the love in every cup, our barista is the best, bravo Filipino!.”

The video ended with DJ, the Filipino barista saying: “I am DJ, I am the Philippines.”

Proud Pinoys at their best

The new videos demonstrate how OFWs portray that they are not mere peons in the country that host them, but true ambassadors of the country they call home.

Through their selfless attitude of thinking first of the welfare of their patients/clients, they are able to develop personal connections and create a strong bond between cultures and societies. This leads to greater understanding and appreciation of the Philippines and its people.

The videos are now getting positive raves from the netizens.

A nurse from a government hospital in Quezon City who has seen the video of May and Charm said: “The video is impressive, sana marami pang similar video ang maipalabas para maipakita kung paano mag-care ang Pinoy sa ano mang lahi sa mundo.”

A barista of a small coffee shop in Manila who has also seen the 1-minute video of DJ commented: “Iba talaga ang pinoy pagdating sa gawaan ng kape, like what the song of the late Tina Turner said – we are “Simply the Best. I’m proud of DJ and how he is bringing honor to our country.”

IMDA Introduces Sustainability Standard for Data Centres operating in Tropical Climates

Leave a comment

  • Standard aims to optimise energy efficiency while operating DCs at higher temperature settings
  • IMDA forges new partnerships to drive global digital sustainability

SINGAPORE, June 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Singapore has launched one of the world’s first standard for optimising energy efficiency for data centres (DCs) in tropical climate countries. Announced by Singapore’s Senior Minister of State, Communications and Information, Dr Janil Puthucheary at ATxEnterprise, the standard comes after a working group comprising domain and technical experts from both industry and academia, as well as government agencies worked on establishing a set of guidelines to enable the operation of DCs at higher temperature settings while optimising energy efficiency. 



DCs are important enablers of the digital economy

DCs are important enablers of the digital economy. However, DCs are also intensive users of resources like land, water, and energy, contributing to our carbon footprint. In a typical data centre, cooling systems account for up to 40% of total energy consumption with many operators choosing to operate their equipment at temperatures of 22°C and below.[1] The cooling of DCs in a warmer tropical climate environment presents additional challenges as more energy is used to operate the cooling systems.

Globally, there is a consensus amongst DC operators on the need to operate their DCs sustainably. There is also increased awareness that it is possible to operate DCs at higher temperatures while achieving optimal results. However, there is a lack of established industry guidelines on how to safely raise DCs’ operating temperatures in a tropical climate, and at higher humidity levels. Singapore’s new standard was developed against this background.

The new standard aims to help DCs develop a roadmap to support the gradual increase in the DC operating temperatures to 26°C and above. This could lead to DCs potentially benefiting from a 2% to 5% cooling energy savings, with every 1°C increase in the DC operating temperature.[2] 

Pushing the envelope of sustainability with green DCs

IMDA’s new standard forms part of the Digital Connectivity Blueprint which was launched on 5 June 2023 by Singapore’s Minister for Communications and Information, Mrs Josephine Teo. The standard for tropical DCs complements other sustainability-related industry standards and best practices that are key in our push for sustainability in Singapore’s ICT ecosystem.

Green Mark Certification

To encourage greater adoption of the standards by the DCs operating in Singapore, IMDA is working with the Building & Construction Authority (BCA) to update the Green Mark scheme for DCs, which sets the energy efficiency and sustainability benchmarks for the DC industry, with this new standard for Tropical DCs.[3]

Lacework Unifies Entitlements Management and Threat Detection for Simplified Cloud Security

Leave a comment

New Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) capabilities are the company’s latest investment in cloud security on the Lacework platform

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Lacework, the data-driven security platform, today announced new CIEM functionality  that empowers teams to gain observability of all cloud identities, know precisely who can perform what actions, and easily identify which identities pose the greatest risk. Furthermore, Lacework’s actionable approach to CIEM provides customers with recommendations on how to reduce their identity risk. By combining these new capabilities with cloud security posture management, attack path analysis, and threat detection into a single platform, Lacework gives customers a clear understanding of their cloud identity landscape, visibility into cloud identity and access management (IAM) misconfigurations and exposed secrets, and continuous discovery of identity threats.

The benefits of public cloud come with complex challenges in managing identity risk. With over 35,000 granular permissions across hyperscale cloud providers, organizations struggle to limit unnecessary access. Most cloud users and instances are granted far more permissions than they actually need, leaving organizations highly exposed to cloud breach, account takeover, and data exfiltration. And the fact that machine identities in the cloud typically outnumber humans by an order of magnitude intensifies the issue.  

“Enforcing least privilege and having visibility of identities and entitlements is a top cloud security challenge for IDC clients. With this innovation from Lacework, security teams can automatically see which identities are overly-permissive, and zero in on the ones that pose the greatest risk,” said Philip Bues, Research Manager for Cloud Security, at IDC. “Beyond prioritizing risks, this will also allow teams to confidently suggest policy changes and reduce their overall attack surface risk.”

Preventing Cloud Identity Risk with New Entitlement Management Technology

Lacework dynamically discovers cloud user, resource, group and role identities and their net-effective permissions and then automatically correlates granted versus used permissions to determine identities with excessive privileges. The platform calculates a risk score for each identity, determines the riskiest identities based on attack path analysis, and auto-generates high-confidence recommendations for right-sizing permissions based on historical observations. This means Lacework not only informs customers of risky identities and entitlements, but also shows those identities that are hardly used or even need entitlements to begin with.

“CIEM is a vital facet of a comprehensive cloud security strategy,” said Paolo del Mundo, Director of Application Security, The Motley Fool. “It’s encouraging to see Lacework incorporating this into their well-rounded CNAPP solution, potentially providing a robust response to the challenge of managing cloud access permissions effectively.”

Combined with Lacework’s ability to prioritize risks from an attack path context, as well as detect user and entity behavior anomalies, customers are able to:

  • Continuously comply with IAM security and regulatory compliance requirements.
  • Identify cloud user, application and service identities, know exactly what actions each can take, and prioritize the identities that pose the greatest risk.
  • Limit the blast radius of compromised cloud accounts, achieve least privilege, and establish trust with engineering teams.
  • Continuously discover risky behavior, including lateral movement and privilege escalation, without needing to write rules or stitching together disparate alerts.
  • Rapidly detect insider threats associated with malicious or accidental abuse of permissions.

“Our customers need to know what entities are actually doing in their cloud and whether it’s malicious or inappropriate, and it can’t get in the way of their ability to move fast,” said Adam Leftik, Vice President, Product, Lacework. “Now Lacework customers can address both sides of the identity security issue with a single platform that prevents identity risk exposure and detects identity threats at scale, with the context to quickly investigate, prioritize, and respond to identity alerts. It’s the latest step in our mission to give enterprises the confidence to rapidly innovate in the cloud and drive their business forward.”
