Tuna, rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids, can help maintain a cat’s skin and coat.

Produced locally and sourced sustainably, Purr Delight is a proud Filipino brand. It’s made with real tuna flakes without extenders or artificial flavors, ensuring that cats enjoy only the best. Most importantly, the product is certified by the Bureau of Animal Industry and well-loved by cats.

As the heart of Isabela province, Ilagan is proud to host this grand event, which pays homage to the rich heritage of the region. The Mammangi Festival serves as a platform to honor the past, celebrate the present, and look towards the future with hope and optimism. Mammangi is an Ibanag term denoting the City of Ilagan’s Corn Farmers. Additionally, it encompasses the entirety of the procedure involving land preparation, cultivation, livestock rearing, harvesting, drying, and the sale of corn, the primary agricultural product of the municipality, in addition to vegetables, legumes, palay, and tobacco. Being observed as an expression of gratitude for a bountiful harvest, the Mammangi Festival “honors the farmers, who have long been considered the true foundation and backbone of Ilagan’s economy.

Vision for a Liveable City by 2030 The festival’s theme for this year, “Liveable City of Ilagan 2030: Isinasapuso Ng Bawat Ilagueño,” is indicative of a collective aspiration to transform Ilagan into a more livable city by 2030. Improvements to the quality of life for all residents, effective governance, and socio-economic and cultural development are all part of this vision. From April 26 to May 11, 2024, the festival encompassed a variety of events, including the eagerly anticipated Festival Street Dance and Gawad Ilagueño honors, as well as investor meetings and cultural exhibitions.

Mammangi Festival is not just about entertainment and indulgence – it is also a time for reflection and gratitude. Throughout the event, there are opportunities for the community to come together and give thanks for the blessings they have received, as well as to pray for a prosperous future for themselves and their loved ones. The festivities commenced with a mass celebrated by Rev. Fr. Ric Zeus E. Angobung at Friendship Park in Bagumbayan on May 4, 2024.

During the Barangay Night event, the contributions and dedication of the barangays in ensuring peaceful progress and a better future for Ilagan were recognized. The following barangays were awarded Outstanding Barangay Awards for their exemplary performance in various areas: Brgy. Lullutan for Disaster Preparedness, Brgy.

With such recognition, local government units strive harder to further improve their public services. Everyone was amazed by the dazzling barangay night made even more joyful by guest artists Wally Bayola and Allan K from GMA Kapuso.

Philippines’ Corn Festival

One of the main highlights of the festival is the traditional Mammangi dance, a captivating performance that tells the story of the town’s origins and the struggles and triumphs of its people. The dancers, adorned in colorful costumes and intricate headdresses, move in perfect harmony to the beat of drums and the sound of traditional instruments, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that captivates the audience.

For this Mammangi Festival 2024, the most awaited part also is the dance contest that was held at Ilagan Sports Complex. The 8 clusters (Poblacion 1, Poblacion 2, Western 1, Western 2, Northeastern 1, Northeastern 2, San Antonio 1, and San Antonio 2) showed their jaw dropping performances in front of Ilagueños.

The report, titled: “The Quest for Meaning at Work”, is the very first Southeast Asia-focused  research survey on the pursuit of meaning at work. The report explores the responses of 2,023 participants from six key Southeast Asian countries and aims to define what meaningful work  means to today’s workforce. 418 in the Philippines participated in the survey. 

When looking for a new job, almost half (42%) of the Philippines respondents have identified  salary and job stability as their top priorities. And 29% of the respondents said that maintaining a  positive work-life balance is becoming increasingly important for professional fulfilment.  Significantly, the pursuit of a high salary is not driven by the quest for material wealth but rather  by the aim to provide comfort and security for one’s family. 

The report also shows only 32% of Philippines respondents are “very satisfied” with the level of  purpose in their current role, demonstrating a significant opportunity for organizations who want  to set themselves apart in the tight talent market. 

PHILIPPINES FINDINGS 

• 100% of Philippines respondents surveyed indicated that having meaning at work was  important to them. 32% of Philippines respondents indicated they currently feel “very  satisfied” with their current level of meaning at work. 

• While the majority (86%) of Philippines respondents believe that any job can contribute to  the betterment of society and the planet, 52% of them are contemplating a career change to actively pursue this purpose. 72% of those who have already made the transition report  high levels of satisfaction. 

• When considering a new job, Philippines participants prioritize salary and job stability  above all else, almost half (42%) citing this as the primary determining factor. Following  closely behind are work-life balance (29%) and opportunities for career advancement and  personal growth (29%). 

• The significance of a company’s reputation, particularly in social responsibility, has  become a critical factor for job seekers. In fact, 90% of Philippines respondents indicate  that a company’s reputation in these areas significantly contributes to their decision to  pursue employment with them. This surpasses the SEA’s average of 77%. 

SOUTHEAST ASIA (SEA) FINDINGS: 

• 98% of participants surveyed from six key SEA countries indicated that having meaning  at work was important to them. Only one in five (21%) of SEA respondents indicated they  currently feel “very satisfied” with their current level of meaning at work. 

• More than half of SEA respondents expect their companies to take a leading role in  promoting sustainability initiatives. They also advocate for the creation of more positions  dedicated to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) responsibilities and the  provision of learning programs for employees that focus on societal impact and  sustainability. 

• While the majority (86%) of SEA respondents believe that any job can contribute to the  betterment of society and the planet, 53% of them are contemplating a career change to  actively pursue this purpose. Impressively, 84% of those who have already made the  transition report high levels of satisfaction. 

• The significance of a company’s reputation, particularly in social responsibility, has  become a critical factor for job seekers. In fact, 77% of SEA respondents indicate that a  company’s reputation in these areas significantly contributes to their decision to pursue  employment with them. 

• Respondents expect their companies and employers to balance improvements in  workplace conditions with a commitment to broader societal well-being. More than seven  out of ten respondents agreed enhancing working conditions with flexible hours,  comprehensive health insurance and equal pay (74%), and advocacy for Diversity, Equity,  and Inclusion (DEI) and other social causes (72%) are actions organizations could  implement to enhance their meaning at work.

Jobs_that_makesense Asia CEO, Ms Léa Klein said, over the past three years, we’ve  witnessed a significant shift in this area. 

“We are seeing a distinct shift towards integrating sustainable practices into various job roles,  which is a positive development.” 

“To meet our region’s sustainability targets by 2030, we must accelerate the momentum we are  seeing in this space. The workforce is increasingly committed to sustainability and DEIB practices,  necessitating the expansion of sustainability-driven roles and upskilling programs. By  mainstreaming sustainability across all levels of companies, these positions will become the new  norm, ensuring the success of the entire region,” Ms Klein said. 

ManpowerGroup’s Regional President of Asia Pacific and Middle East, Mr Francois  Lancon, said this research is closely aligned to ManpowerGroup’s vision that meaningful and  sustainable employment has the power to change the world.  

“It is encouraging to see the findings of this report align to our own core belief that meaningful  work is a key driver of employee happiness, health and productivity,” Mr Lancon said.  

“Today, as the acceleration of automation, a greater focus on ESG, and the emergence of  generative AI reshapes industries and economies, organizations have more ability than ever to  create opportunities for people to engage in purposeful and fulfilling work.”  

“While Manpower is committed to identifying and building talent with the right skills to succeed in  these new roles, business leaders must have the courage to create opportunities that deliver the  type of meaning today’s workforce craves,” Mr Lancon said.  

Mr. Rommel Roque, President and CEO of Prime Manpower, an authorized franchise  partner of Manpower, said “What resonates most is that 100% of those surveyed in the country  voiced that Meaning of Work was important. This isn’t surprising as we also consider the relatively  young average age of the country at 24 years old with a high English language ability embedded  in its culture.” 

“This sentiment may have been amplified further during the pandemic years where more  consciousness to contribute for the betterment of the world became a real and reachable  aspiration.”  

“Part of Manpower (Philippines)’ goals is to harness the power of these individuals and channel  them towards work opportunities that will provide this kind of self-fulfillment. Providing student  internship programs in-house and through our client networks prepares the young workforce with  the new skills demand of the world. Professional Academy programs elevating current skills or  learning new ones especially in the Sustainability industries create new pathways for both young and older personnel to meet the change ushered in by ESG and the progress in AI. I believe that  these types of initiatives would be worth serious consideration by employers of today,” said Mr.  Roque.
