PRESS RELEASE: SBMA calls for SEA Games volunteers

SUBIC BAY FREEPORT – Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Chairman and Administrator Wilma T. Eisma has called for the participation of volunteers from the Subic Bay area in the 30th Southeast Asian Games that the Philippines will host late this year.

Once more tapping the wellspring of volunteerism that helped make Subic a model for military base conversion, Eisma urged local youths to take the opportunity to serve and be part of history.

“Make a difference and be a hero,” Eisma said in a call broadcast over social media.

“Come show your malasakit once again. Be a SEA Games volunteer and give yourself the chance to serve the country and be part of history,” she added.

Eisma made the call for volunteers after the Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee (PHISGOC) announced the need for some 12,000 volunteers for the regional sports spectacle that will be held in November 30 to December 10.

PHISGOC chief operating officer Ramon Suzara said that volunteers will be mobilized for the Games in Metro Manila, Subic, Clark Freeport, and other venues to help run the country’s hosting of the 56 sports and 529 events in this year’s sports meet.

Eisma said she has called for volunteers to show their malasakit for Subic in so many occasions in the past. “Today, I am calling on you again to join the SBMA team and help make the 30th SEA Games successful,” she said.

Out of the 56 sports slated in the 2019 SEA Games, 16 will be hosted in Subic. These are duathlon, triathlon, pencak silat, sepak takraw, chess, table tennis, muay thai, karatedo, vovinam, obstacle sports, modern-date pentathlon, beach volleyball, beach handball, and all water sports: sailing, wind surfing, and traditional boat race.

PHISGOC said around P100 million to P150 million will be allotted to the volunteer program from the P5-billion SEA Games budget of the national government.

The volunteers will be provided with uniforms, transportation, allowance and meals for an eight-hour shift.

Eisma said that those interested to join the SEA Games volunteer program in Subic may apply online thru this form. Applicants must be at least 18 years old.

Recruitment of volunteers will be conducted from April to July, with the online registration starting on May 15. Training of volunteers will be held from August to October. (30)

When Should You Upgrade Your Television?

In general when upgrading any household appliances depends on the unit if it still working or in good condition, also the best rule would be if your budget permits you to buy a new one. 

Nowadays, to watch a tv program can be as easy with just a few clicks on your smartphones, tablets, or even on laptop and computers, you just need to hook up your device on Wi-fi connection and you can stream a certain movie or television program for free or even subscribe online. I personally consider this as one of the best technology inventions! Although, shopping for tv is quite stressful when you talk about deals to get. 

Now when we talk about when should you upgrade your television, there are things you need to consider when taking that step. Here are some things I have learned about the technology of television at the present time. 

Some say that a typical lifespan of LED tv is 8-9 years or 80,000 hours or more and as long as there are no technical issues that can cause trouble. If you have a decent television and for the sole purpose is to watch the regular channels whether you are connected to an antenna or a digital box I believe it is still good. 
Now, resolution wise such as 1080p & 4K, HD and UHD (ultra high-definition) features, what I have learned about it is that 4K or UHD is four times the resolution of a 1080p (HD) TV. A display of 8 million pixels for a 4K television giving you a good and quality display looking at it as virtually close to the scene when seated close to the television. 
Some of the points I considered over the last weekend when we purchase our new Smart TV, which was on sale! 

It has been 6 years since we purchased our LG 32" 3D LED Tv and we decided to replace and upgrade it to a new TCL 55" Smart 4K TV! 

Original price of this unit was Php35,600 ($678) less Php12,605 ($240) price was down to Php22,995 ($438), we think this is the best price we can get for a Smart Tv.  Aside from the price point that made us decide to get a new one, here are some of the specs of the Tv.

HDMI2.0

HDMI2.0 supports 4K resolution image with high transmission speed, up to 4 audio streams could even provide a higher standard for better sound quality.

Last night we watched an episode of MMA match for three hours on Youtube and we enjoyed a continuous stream, our Wifi connection was on point, haha! We will be installing the Tv on the wall this coming weekend using the wall bracket that was included in the package, also we need to purchase an added cord for the digital box for the wall installation. From a 32" to 55" Tv we were amazed by the difference between the two. 

Overall, when purchasing or upgrading for a new Tv, look for the specification of the unit you and your family be needing and the most important thing is to consider your budget. 

Tip: I always find it a must to hook up any appliances in the house to an automatic voltage regulator, this will help any appliance in the house when electricity will fluctuate and will prevent electrical damage to the appliance unit. 

I look forward for years of fun and techy viewing from our new TCL Smart Tv
