Carthal Manila, a Philippine-based social media agency, is proud to celebrate its third anniversary that it has become a trusted partner for businesses of all sizes across industries. Carthal Manila is more than just a digital marketing agency – it’s a story of…

[mariacallous]

When New Yorkers book a wedding venue, a straightforward exchange of cash is typically preferred by both parties.

But when Nicolas Heller, the Jewish-Italian filmmaker and social media influencer who’s better known to his 1.4 million Instagram followers as New York Nico, wanted to tie the knot with his fiancée, Naomi Otsu, at Katz’s Delicatessen, the price was higher than they expected. 

So Heller made an unconventional arrangement with the famed New York establishment: He would create and direct the deli’s first-ever commercial, which was released last Friday, Nov. 22.

“Obviously, Katz’s doesn’t need a commercial, which is why they’ve never had one,” Heller said. “Everyone and their mother knows Katz’s.”

The Lower East Side institution, whose roots began in the neighborhood in 1888, is famed for many things, including their enormous pastrami sandwiches — which was one of 11 Jewish sandwiches on the New York Times’ roundup of sandwiches that define the city — and their World War II-era slogan, “Send a Salami to Your Boy in the Army.”

The popular deli, located at the busy corner of Houston and Ludlow Streets, has made multiple film and television appearances — including, of course, the classic “I’ll have what she’s having” scene from 1989’s “When Harry Met Sally.”

And now, Katz’s is making its digital ad debut. The spot, which runs just under a minute and a half, stars Dave Roffe, 72, a Rockaways-based retiree who’s a fixture of the lifestyle brand Old Jewish Men. Roffe plays an exaggerated version of himself and his fictitious twin brother, Dan. 

Katz’s deli wanted to highlight their nationwide shipping — and that was the only instruction they gave Heller.

Katz’s Deli did not respond to requests for comment by press time.

In the commercial, the twin brothers are speaking on the phone; Dan is suntanning on the beach in Florida (filmed, for those in the know, on Rockaway Beach), while Dave is in the line at the deli. “Listen Dave,” Dan tells his brother. “You know the only thing I miss about New York is the Katz’s pastrami on rye.” Dave, being a world-class mensch, readies to send Dan yet another sandwich in a soggy manila envelope — which is when we learn about Katz’s next-day shipping via a cameo by Heller himself. 

It’s perfectly Katz’s and perfectly New York, and the response to the digital spot, which Heller wrote with David Hurwitz, has been positive on social media. “It’s really good,” writes Instagram commenter Jeremy Kareken, a playwright. “As an ad and as a short film. It works.”

Director of photography Joe Bressler shared a behind-the-scenes clip, where he explained that the crew shot the commercial on location and the restaurant did not close down for the day. For now, the ad can be seen on Heller’s and Katz’s Instagram pages and on YouTube; it’s unclear if it will make it on the air anywhere. 

“When I do ads, people enjoy them, but they don’t have shareability,” said Heller, who has also made commercials for Nike and Shake Shack. “But this, I think, because it was Katz’s first-ever ad, and because it featured Dave, and because I had full creative control, I think it was just a perfect storm, and people loved it.”

Like Dan, Heller, too, always goes for the pastrami sandwich — lean — at Katz’s, and given the size of the sandwich, he said he usually shares it with a friend. A native New Yorker, he got his start in film during college making low-budget music videos. After a brief stint in Los Angeles, he came back to New York, where a 2014 video about local celebrity Te’Devan Kurzweil, known as “The 6’7” Jew Who Will Rap For You,” became his big break. The experience, he said, upped his confidence and guided him in the direction of short documentaries featuring New York’s most interesting characters — and eventually, the Instagram shorts he is known for.

Heller, whose father is Jewish and mother is Catholic, did not have a bar mitzvah, and neither of his parents are religious. But he loves the vibrant Jewish food scene of New York, and is easily able to list some of his favorite places to grab a classic Jewish bite: Zabar’s on the Upper West Side, Lee Lee’s Baked Goods in Harlem (his favorite place for rugelach), B&H Dairy in the East Village, Russ and Daughters on the Lower East Side, and, of course, Katz’s.

“But, you ask me what my background is, I usually say ‘pizza bagel,’ Jewish Italian,” he said. “I feel like Jews and New York Jews and New York Italians are very similar. So there’s that sort of Jewish-Italian handshake, as my friend [the writer] Jason Diamond likes to call it. But I’m, like, all over the place, meeting different types of people.” 

Just last month, he published his first book, “New York Nico’s Guide to NYC,” which features his 100 favorite businesses in the city, including many Jewish eateries, like Katz’s, where Heller has been going since he was a child. Diamond was a collaborator in Heller’s book.

“It’s become a tourist destination,” Heller said of the deli. “And in my opinion, there’s a lot of spots in New York that don’t really deserve to be tourist traps. But I feel like Katz’s kind of deserves to be a tourist trap. It’s that good, both in terms of the food and the ambience, and it’s sort of this place in New York history.”

Chow Kok Keong, CCO Innocean Indonesia at MAD STARS: The Secret To Winning the International Awards

Chow Kok Keong (KK), chief creative officer of Innocean Indonesia, has been ranked #1 creative in Indonesia for four consecutive years. He has won awards at all the major international awards and judged at most of them. He joined Innocean as CCO in July last year, leaving his role as regional ECD at Hakuhodo to do so.

KK added his creative expertise to the final jury at MAD STARS this year, where he says, he “sought simplicity and freshness in both the idea and execution, as I believe the best communication should be simple and easy to engage with.”

For success in the industry, he adds, “Staying relevant is key. Consumer behaviour and media consumption habits constantly change, therefore, communication campaigns must be aligned with today's trends and insights.”

For creatives on their way up, he advises, “My expectation is simple. Come out of your comfort zone. Never settle for what you consider ‘good enough’. Always question whether the idea can be pushed further and whether it stands out from what competitors are doing in the market.”

KK was thrilled to see Asian campaigns perform well against other big-player countries at MAD STARS this year and was proud to see those good enough to compete on the global stage.

Two stood out, in particular for him. Two that he wishes he had been part of. They are:

Unbranded Menu (Agency: Leo Burnett Group Manila / Advertisers: McDonald's)

Unbranded Menu by Leo Burnett Group Manila for McDonald’s Philippines, which was one of the two Grands Prix of the Year at MAD STARS. Among its awards were 3 Golds - in Social & Influencer, Strategy and Media - and a Grand Prix in brand experience and activation.

2. Newspapers Inside The Newspaper (Agency: Impact BBDO / Advertisers: An Nahar newspaper)

Newspapers Inside The Newspaper by Impact BBDO for An Nahar newspaper, whose collection of 8 awards included 2 Golds - in Print and Media.

The United States (US) publicly issued strong opposition to the involvement of Chinese Companies in the reclamation of Manila Bay recently supposedly because those Companies were involved in the construction and Militarization of China’s Artificial Islands in the South China Sea (SCS).

Note that the Americans didn’t do anything except complain loudly against those Artificial Islands, so I think there is a deeper reason for them to issue such a strong opposition to it, and it may be because such reclamation could interfere with the Operations of its Embassy along Roxas Boulevard as a MAJOR AMERICAN SPY HUB.

This FACT was revealed by Professor Ronald G. Simbulan during a Lecture back in 2017, and published at the Center for People Empowerment in Governance (CenPEG) Website. Simbulan said that Roxas Boulevard Embassy (RBE) was a Regional Service Center (RSC) or Regional Headquarters (likely for the entire South East Asian Region) of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) since at least the time of the Vietnam War.

Also no less than the infamous Whistleblower Edward Snowden confirmed that the RBE was a Spy Hub and “Listening” Post or an EAVESDROPPING Post where it is used to monitor Communications Networks such as Phone Communications. You can read more about these in the Article itself here: http://cenpeg.org/events/2017/apr2017/THE_CIA_IN_THE_PHILIPPINES_A_BRIEF_HISTORY.html

Based on this, then no wonder that the Americans are doing everything they can to stop the reclamation, and trust the Philippines to entirely give up its Sovereignty to the US by allowing a major American Spy Hub to freely and openly operate on its Land

DEVELOPING STORY: Manila Central Post Office explosion halts new ID Applications for both UMID and Postal IDs

MANILA, NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION -- A car battery explosion at the Manila Central Post Office (MCPO) was led to a temporary or indefinite suspension of new ID applications for two widely used identification cards in the Philippines - the Unified Multi-Purpose ID (UMID) and the Philippine Postal ID. The late incident occurred on Sunday (May 21st, 2023 -- Manila local time) causing significant damage to the post office building and disrupting its operations. Several reports by the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) indicate that a faulty battery caused the explosion.

In a text message obtained to OneNETnews, the officials of Social Security System (SSS) and Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) releases a disclosed statement: "We would like to inform the public that the new ID applications for both UMID and Postal IDs are temporarily unavailable at the Manila Central Post Office (MCPO) following the car battery explosion incident", the said statement read.

SSS and Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) manage the UMID card, which provides beneficiaries with access to various government services. The program was introduced in 2010, a decade before the CoViD-19 pandemic years to streamline services. National media reports say that the government agencies like the Department of Health (DOH), the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth-IC) accepts UMID cards.

The Postal ID however, is a convenient alternative to a primary ID that is both convenient and affordable. It is accepted by the Philippine government and private institutions for various purposes such as proof of identity as E-Wallets and banking, transaction verification and eligibility for discounts on certain products and services. Applicants who were planning to obtain neither the UMID, Postal ID or both are advised to temporarily seek alternative options while repairs and investigations are ongoing at the affected national post office. Residents can explore other government-issued identification cards such as the Driver's License, Passport or the Voter's ID to fulfill their identification requirements.

Officials from PHLPost have yet to announce an estimated date for when new ID applications for UMID and Postal IDs will resume sooner at the MCPO. It is recommended that individuals to stay updated through official announcements from the aforesaid government mailing company regarding the availability of the services affected by the incident. Post office facilities should prioritize safety measures to prevent such incidents from occurring again. BFP investigators are currently investigating the cause of the explosion and addressing any potential negligence or lapses in safety protocols.

(via Rhayniel Saldasal Calimpong / Freelance Photojournalist of OneNETnews)

Here in Dumaguete alone, new ID applications of UMID confirms that the contract was expired indefinitely with no potential date of resumption on SSS. While the PHLPost branch office in Santa Catalina Street completely goes out of order, leaving no applicants were applied and to pay a one-time fee either the Regular or Rush applicants.

As authorities work towards restoring normal operations in 2024 or later and ensuring the safety of postal facilities, the public is urged to remain patient and cooperative with the necessary adjustments implemented during this temporary or indefinite suspension of ID application services for both UMID and Postal IDs.

Boost Your Business with Local SEO: A Look at Services in the Philippines

Hey Tumblr community! 🌏✨

If you're a business owner looking to attract more local customers in the Philippines, this post is for you. Today, we're diving into Local SEO and how it can be a game-changer for your business. Whether you're new to the concept or looking to enhance your strategy, let’s explore what Local SEO is all about and why it’s crucial for local businesses.

What is Local SEO?

Local SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a strategy focused on optimizing your online presence to attract more business from relevant local searches. It’s about making sure that people who are nearby and searching for services or products like yours can find you easily. For instance, if someone in Manila searches for "best coffee shop near me," Local SEO helps ensure your coffee shop appears at the top of their search results.

Why Local SEO is Essential for Businesses in the Philippines

Increased Visibility: Local SEO helps your business stand out in local search results, making it easier for potential customers in your area to find you.

Targeted Traffic: By optimizing for local search, you attract more relevant traffic, meaning people who are actually looking for your products or services nearby.

Competitive Edge: With effective Local SEO, you can compete with bigger brands by focusing on local search terms that are more likely to lead to conversions.

Better User Experience: Local SEO often involves improving your website’s performance and usability, leading to a better experience for your visitors.

Key Components of Local SEO

To get the most out of Local SEO, it’s important to focus on several key areas:

1. Google My Business (GMB)

Your Google My Business profile is crucial for Local SEO. Ensure your GMB listing is accurate and complete with your business name, address, phone number, hours, and other relevant information. Encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews on your GMB page, as positive reviews can boost your visibility and credibility.

2. Local Citations

A local citation is any online mention of your business's name, address, and phone number (NAP). Ensure your NAP is consistent across all platforms, including online directories, social media, and your website. This consistency helps search engines verify your business's information, improving your local search ranking.

3. Localized Content

Create localized content that speaks to your audience in specific areas. This might include blog posts about local events, news, or community stories relevant to your business. This content helps you connect with local customers and signals to search engines that your business is relevant to local searches.

4. Online Reviews

Positive online reviews are a powerful local SEO factor. Encourage your satisfied customers to leave reviews on Google, Facebook, and other review sites. Respond to reviews promptly, showing that you value customer feedback and are actively engaged with your audience.

5. Mobile Optimization

Make sure your website is mobile-friendly. Many local searches are conducted on mobile devices, so your site needs to be easy to navigate on smartphones and tablets. A mobile-optimized site improves user experience and boosts your chances of ranking higher in local search results.

6. Local Keywords

Incorporate local keywords into your website content, meta tags, and descriptions. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner to find relevant local keywords that your target audience is searching for. This helps search engines understand your business's local relevance.

Why Choose Local SEO Services in the Philippines?

Opting for Local SEO services in the Philippines comes with several benefits:

Expertise in the Local Market: Local SEO experts in the Philippines understand the specific dynamics and preferences of the local market, allowing for more effective optimization strategies.

Cost-Effective Solutions: Local agencies often offer competitive pricing, making professional Local SEO services more accessible for small to medium-sized businesses.

Personalized Strategies: SEO professionals in the Philippines can provide customized strategies that cater to your business's unique needs and goals within the local context.

Taking Your Local SEO to the Next Level

If you’re ready to enhance your local presence and attract more customers, here’s how to start:

Audit Your Current Online Presence: Assess your existing local SEO efforts, including your Google My Business listing, website, and online reviews.

Create a Local SEO Plan: Develop a strategy that includes optimizing your GMB profile, building local citations, creating localized content, and improving mobile usability.

Monitor and Adjust: Use tools like Google Analytics to track the performance of your Local SEO efforts and make adjustments as needed to improve results.

Conclusion

Local SEO is a powerful tool for businesses looking to connect with customers in their area. By focusing on local search optimization, you can enhance your visibility, attract more relevant traffic, and stand out in your community. Whether you’re new to Local SEO or looking to refine your strategy, leveraging these tactics can help you achieve your business goals in the vibrant market of the Philippines.

Happy optimizing, Tumblr friends! 🌟🏠

On June 14, Reuters reported that Pentagon conducted a misinformation campaign to raise doubts over vaccines and other medical aid supplied by China. This was primarily done online – with phony internet accounts impersonating Filipinos – and it went beyond Philippine social media feeds, with similar propaganda tailored for audiences in Central Asia and the Middle East.

On Sunday, June 16, ACT Teachers Representative France Castro urged the House of Representatives to conduct an investigation into the report.

“The Philippines was one of the areas targeted by this operation, and therefore, it is our duty to safeguard our nation’s sovereignty and protect our people’s health,” she added.

The vaccine manufactured by China’s Sinovac Biotech Ltd was the first vaccine made available to Filipinos. The first batch of doses arrived in the country in February 2021. The arrival of other vaccine brands were delayed by paperwork and the lack of global supply.

At the time, the Philippines was among the last countries in Southeast Asia that had yet to make COVID-19 vaccine doses available to its citizens.

Sinovac was the third pharmaceutical company to be granted an emergency approval in the Philippines, following Pfizer and AstraZeneca’s vaccine. Many at that time questioned the government’s decision to green light the brand as some viewed it as the Duterte administration giving the China-made vaccine preferential treatment.

Beijing was Manila’s close ally then, following former president Rodrigo Duterte’s foreign policy pivot. The Reuters investigation noted that China’s growing global influence was Washington’s motivation, and saw the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to strike.

A public survey conducted from February 22 to March 3 in 2021 showed that vaccine hesitancy was prominent among Filipinos. Concerns regarding the COVID-19 vaccine’s safety, effectiveness, and even necessity were among respondents’ reasons for reconsidering getting vaccinated.

Vaccine hesitancy went beyond the pandemic though as some agencies noted that this affected even confidence in routine vaccinations.

Pilipinong Nagkakaisa para sa Soberanya (P1NAS) spokesman Antonio Tinio also criticized Washington’s “hypocrisy,” citing how the US usually condemns propaganda churned by Russia and China.

“This shines a light on how the US is actively using psyops, disinformation, and other influence operations to shape public opinion in our country,” Tinio, former ACT Teachers representative, said in a statement on June 15.

Authorities in the Philippines have made substantial progress in their fight against illegal online adoption practices. The National Authority for Child Care (NACC), in collaboration with the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), successfully reduced the number of Facebook pages selling babies. The crackdown, which involved a coordinated effort among various government agencies, led to a significant decrease in such illegal activities.

Key Points

- The NACC, PNP, and DICT worked together to identify and take down illegal Facebook pages. - From an initial 23 pages, only 7 remain active. - Recent arrests highlight ongoing efforts to combat this crime.   Recent Developments and Arrests Last week, NACC Executive Director and Undersecretary Janella Estrada confirmed the arrest of a mother in Catarman, Northern Samar. This mother sold her children, aged 1 and 2, to an undercover PNP agent for PHP30,000 each. The mother is now under police custody, and her children are being cared for at the Lingap Center in Catarman.  

Efforts and Achievements

Estrada noted that ongoing collaboration with the PNP and DICT’s Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) and Women and Children Protection Center (WDCC) was crucial in reducing the number of illegal Facebook pages. The NACC continues to monitor social media sites and requests the removal of such pages from Facebook, although the platform has yet to respond. Notable Achievements: - The arrest in Northern Samar demonstrates effective enforcement. - The number of monitored Facebook accounts involved in child trafficking has been significantly reduced. - Ongoing coordination with local and national authorities enhances the effectiveness of these efforts.  

Upcoming Events and Initiatives

The NACC is also organizing the final two stops of the 1st National Congress on Adoption and Alternative Child Care. These events will take place in Clark, Pampanga for the North and Central Luzon clusters, and Cebu City for the Visayas cluster. The congress aims to strengthen partnerships with local government units (LGUs) and enhance the implementation of adoption and alternative childcare programs. Congress Details: - Pampanga: June 19-20, 2024 - Cebu: June 26-27, 2024   Strengthening Local Partnerships The congress will provide an opportunity for the NACC to collaborate with 29 LGUs, which have signed a memorandum of agreement for developing foster parents. An additional 22 LGUs are currently in the process of signing agreements. These initiatives aim to bolster the Philippine Foster Care Program and ensure the protection and welfare of children. Foster Care Program: - 216 LGUs have participated. - Significant participation from mayors across Mindanao, Metro Manila, and South Luzon.

Protecting Vulnerable Children

NACC’s efforts are part of a broader mission to safeguard and protect the rights and welfare of vulnerable Filipino children. The agency, created under the Department of Social Welfare and Development, assumed responsibilities from the Inter-Country Adoption Board and other agencies under Republic Act 11642, signed by former President Rodrigo Duterte on January 6, 2022. Key Statistics: - Foster Children Served (2023): 1,618 - Adoption and Alternative Child Care Week: Celebrated every second week of June   The Takeaway The NACC, PNP, and DICT's coordinated actions have made significant strides in combating illegal online child trafficking in the Philippines.
