Gift Ideas for our Superhero Dads

There's no denying that times have changed – and the roles of the modern day dad have changed as well. Years ago, many of us would associate them to be the household breadwinners, mainly providing for the family’s necessities through their 9-5 jobs. But now, dads are doing so much more than that. 

Those who used to have desk jobs are now taking on more responsibilities at home all while still providing for their family’s needs. On the other hand, dads who are in the service industry have been working tirelessly not only for their families but also for the hundreds and thousands of people they are serving daily in these challenging times.

World Vision and ComCo Southeast Asia join forces to support MSMEs

Aside from plaguing the health of people all over the world, COVID-19 has affected global economies, with businesses closing down leaving millions of people jobless. In developing countries like the Philippines, small businesses are hit the hardest as they struggle to survive in the current climate. Consumers are looking for brands that care about social issues, but with most business enterprises in the country made up of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), these businesses might not have social issues at the top of their priority list as they try to cope with the pandemic. In line with this, World Vision in the Philippines, an international child-focused non-profit organization, has partnered with ComCo Southeast Asia, a trailblazing and globally award-winning integrated communications agency in the region, for Cause Marketing for Good – a campaign to support MSMEs during these difficult times and to teach them how they can champion social issues through their marketing efforts.
