Honda Debuts New Hispanic Marketing Campaign for the All-New 2017 Ridgeline Pickup Truck

TORRANCE, California, July 6, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Honda is launching a new integrated Hispanic marketing campaign for the redesigned 2017 Ridgeline pickup truck, which went on sale in late June. The multiplatform campaign appeals to the brand’s expanding market of Hispanic customers and will launch with the Ridgeline’s official sponsorship of the Univision Deportes’ broadcast of “Campeón de Campeones,” the emblematic Mexican soccer championship match between the winners of the two most recent Liga MX seasons, taking place on July 10 in Los Angeles and airing on Univision Network and simulcast on UDN (Univision Deportes Network).

The new Ridgeline Hispanic marketing campaign produced by Honda’s Hispanic Advertising agency Orcí includes TV, digital, social and experiential executions highlighting the completely reimagined Honda Ridgeline’s unique capabilities and new levels of versatility, while touting its industry-exclusive key features. “NO ES NADA” (https://youtu.be/hiIa1d5qs48), a new TV spot debuting as part of the campaign, features the all-new Ridgeline as a ‘mid-size truck with a big-sized heart.’

“NO ES NADA” TV Spot
In “NO ES NADA,” the hero of the spot has a truck that can do it all – the 2017 Ridgeline – and is constantly going out of his way to help others. Family and friends catch on, and suddenly he becomes the go-to-guy that is always being asked for “little favors” that end up being major endeavors. The new creative showcases the Ridgeline’s innovative features including the world’s first available Truck Bed Audio system, the Honda-exclusive In-Bed Trunk® and Dual Action Tailgate.

“The Honda Ridgeline’s incredible versatility and one of a kind features are what set it apart from other midsize trucks, and make it the perfect vehicle for people’s daily lives or special tailgating events,” said Gina Jorge, Manager of Multicultural Marketing at American Honda. “Debuting Ridgeline to fans of Campeón de Campeones is a fantastic opportunity to show how Ridgeline can bring friends and family together.”

Ridgeline and Fin de Semana de Campeones Partnership
The 2017 Honda Ridgeline is the official automotive partner of Liga MX “Campeón de Campeones” and SuperCopa MX. The Ridgeline will have a large on-site presence including vehicle displays showcasing how the new Honda pickup’s features are perfect for fútbol fans and tailgating before the match. The Southern California Helpful Honda People will be onsite offering cold water from the Ridgeline’s In-Bed Trunk® filled with ice, sunglasses and upgrading lucky fans. The partnership also will include in-game spots, “Play of the Game” in-game features, game clock signage, billboards, digital advertising, and channel sponsorship of Campeón de Campeones and sponsorship of the livestream of tournament.

The “NO ES NADA,” TV spot will run on Univision Network and UDN. On the social and digital front, social posts leading up to the game and day-of will be shared on @HondaLatino Twitter and Instagram as well as on Univision Deportes’ social media channels.

About the Redesigned and Re-engineered 2017 Honda Ridgeline
The all-new Ridgeline, now available in Honda dealerships, builds on the unique and still industry-exclusive features that debuted in the award-winning first-generation Ridgeline in 2005. With superior on-road manners and a spacious, flexible interior — the 2017 Ridgeline adds the truck bed audio system to the already industry-first In-Bed Trunk® and Dual-Action Tailgate. Ridgeline joins Honda’s expanded lineup of innovative light-truck models, including the HR-V crossover, the CR-V and Pilot SUVs and the Odyssey minivan.

The Ridgeline was developed by Honda R&D Americas in Ohio and California, and is produced exclusively at Honda’s Lincoln, Alabama, auto and engine plant, alongside the Pilot and Odyssey.

About Honda
Honda offers a full line of reliable, fuel-efficient and fun-to-drive vehicles with advanced safety technologies through approximately 1,000 independent U.S. Honda dealers. The Honda lineup includes the Fit, Civic and Accord passenger cars, along with the HR-V, CR-V and Pilot sport/utility vehicles, and the Odyssey minivan. The next generation Ridgeline pickup truck is set to debut later this year.

MIAMI, July 6, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Inspirational author, lecturer and communicator Ismael Cala is in Mexico City to present his books Ser como el bambú (‘Being like the bamboo’) (HarperCollins Español) and El analfabeto emocional (‘The emotional illiterate’) (VR Editoras) this Saturday, July 9^th.

“How wonderful to meet again with Mexican readers, and this time for a double whammy! We’ve got something for all tastes. One is for kids, so parents and their children can enjoy what we can learn from the bamboo, a plant whose strength and flexibility make it very powerful. And the other one is for young people and adults, because all of us have been emotional illiterates at some point in our lives, starting with me,” said Cala in Miami.

Signing and presentation of ‘Ser como el bambú’ (‘Being like the bamboo’)
Date: Saturday, July 9th
Time: 12:00 pm
Place: Librería Porrúa. Parque Lindavista. México DF
Address: Colector 13 Nº 280, Local SA-11, Magdalena de las Salinas, México, D.F.

Signing and presentation of ‘El analfabeto emocional’ (‘The emotional illiterate’)
Date: Saturday, July 9th
Time: 5.00 pm
Place: Librerías El Sótano. Sucursal Miguel Ángel de Quevedo
Address: Ave. Miguel Ángel de Quevedo Nº 209. Colonia Romero de Terreros, Delegación Coyoacán, México DF

Ser como el bambú (‘Being like the bamboo’) is a beautifully illustrated book for children in a bilingual edition that will allow parents to spend some quality time with their kids. It’s the story of Mama Panda and Baby Bear, and will inspire children to develop values such as patience, perseverance, determination, independence and generosity.

El analfabeto emocional (‘The emotional illiterate’), for its part, is a practical guide for how to use our emotions so that they can lead us to success. “I was an emotional illiterate.” This is how Cala bluntly begins his latest book, which focuses on the role of emotions in our lives. The author proposes to flee from feeling like a victim, leaving behind our fears and constricting beliefs.

“If pessimism and insecurity block our personal or professional progress, if everyday traffic brings out our inner monster of rage, if jealousy dominates our relationships… then it is time to take action,” Cala proposes.

Open letter from Ismael Cala to President Evo Morales

July 5, 2016

0

MIAMI, July 5, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — On Thursday the president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, made the following statements about the writer, lecturer and communicator ISMAEL CALA:

http://www.unitel.tv/noticias/evo-morales-sobre-periodista-cala-algunos-vienen-a-molestar-y-conspirarme/

Ismael Cala’s response to President Morales follows:

Today on the first day of my new phase away from CNN en Español and on a personal note I would like to thank you, President Evo Morales, for calling me “annoying” and a “conspirator”. In accordance with my style of shattering paradigms, which is fully explained in my book Un buen hijo de P (‘A real S.O.B.’), I take your attacks as a wonderful compliment.

The press is always seen as “annoying” to those who think they’re above everyone else. Certainly I am a “conspirator”, though NOT because I try to overthrow governments or get involved in politics, but simply because I ask my guests questions with no restrictions other than those of common sense. I know that questions are uncomfortable for certain people, but it is assumed that politicians are public servants who govern under the terms of a “contract” signed with the citizenry in mind. And they have to answer to the citizenry.

If you do not know the reasons why I voluntarily decided to leave CNN en Español, I will tell you. I did it to close a cycle, to embrace change, reinvent myself and allow for alteration in that space – an alteration that many people find hard to put into practice when they hold positions of power. One of the reasons for my resignation, already explained in my first book ‘El poder de escuchar’ (‘The power of listening’), was having to deal with politicians (it makes no difference what ideological banner they wave) who are too accustomed to memorized speeches, incapable of showing their feelings and encumbered with oversized egos.

On the other hand, believe me, it’s no insult for you to call me a cubano gusano (‘cuban worm’). Reducing people to animals for the purpose of discrediting their ideas, actions and opinions, always ends up discrediting the person who uses this approach. To describe a human being with the name of an animal that is supposedly repulsive is an old tactic that comes from Nazism.

Nobody uses the term gusano (‘worm’) in Cuba anymore. The more than two million Cubans who live outside of our country are human beings seeking personal self-realization, beyond the particular reasons of each individual.

Let’s leave behind the ideological dinosaur. Let’s sit down and celebrate what brings us together; enough with the caricatures, with discrediting people and the insulting attitudes.

Whenever you would like to, let’s sit down and talk, without any cameras.

I’ll say goodbye with best wishes for your health and success. Soon I will send you my most recent book El analfabeto emocional (‘The emotional illiterate’). I hope you enjoy it.

I am convinced that our continent must embrace its cultural, ideological and racial diversity. We must seriously address the reasons that drive citizens to immigrate to other places, instead of trying to humiliate them. Latin America has all the potential to become the happiest place in the world.

Cordially,
Ismael Cala

Puerto Rico Legal-Assistance Organization Receives $11.8 Million under Bank of America Mortgage Settlement

July 5, 2016

0

BOSTON, July 5, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Eric D. Green, independent Monitor of Bank of America’s August 20, 2014, mortgage settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice and six states, today announced the distribution of $11,756,742 to the Fundación Fondo Acceso a la Justicia, Inc., as mandated under the settlement, to provide legal assistance in foreclosure prevention and community redevelopment.

The Foundation, headquartered in Guaynabo, is one of 56 state-based legal-assistance organizations receiving funds under the settlement, which settled legal claims arising from mortgage-related activities by Bank of America and its subsidiaries. A distribution was made earlier to NeighborWorks America, a national, congressionally-chartered nonprofit organization that provides training and support for community-based redevelopment programs in the United States and Puerto Rico.

The distributions – totaling more than $490 million nationwide – were triggered in December by President Obama’s signing into law an act extending federal tax relief through 2016 to homeowners who otherwise would have incurred income-tax liability from mortgage debt forgiveness they received under consumer-relief provisions of the settlement. The money being distributed to the nonprofit organizations is from a fund established under the settlement to provide federal tax assistance to homeowners in case Congress failed to extend the tax-relief legislation.

With the signing of the legislation, the tax-relief fund became surplus. Under the terms of the settlement, Professor Green is required to distribute 75 percent ($367.62 million) of the fund to eligible legal-assistance organizations in each state and the remaining 25 percent ($122.54 million) to NeighborWorks America.

The settlement provides that in each state, the District of Columbia, and each U.S. territory or possession, to the extent practicable, the legal-assistance organizations are to receive a distribution of $200,000 from the fund, with the remainder to be allocated among the states and other eligible jurisdictions based on poverty population data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau, in the manner used for funding distribution by the Legal Services Corporation. As specified in the settlement, these recipients are state-based Interest on Lawyers Trust Account (IOLTA) organizations or other state bar association affiliated intermediaries that fund legal aid organizations in their jurisdictions.

Co-signatories to the settlement, besides the bank and the Department of Justice, were the Attorneys General of the States of California, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland and New York, and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Eligible legal-assistance organizations in all six “settling states” have received their distributions, as have organizations in a number of other jurisdictions.

The remaining distributions will be made in the coming days upon completion of appropriate documentation by the recipient organizations.

Professor Green, a Boston-based professional mediator and retired Boston University law professor, was hired as independent Monitor to oversee the tax-relief fund and the bank’s compliance with its ongoing consumer-relief obligations under the settlement.

A full list of recipient organizations and more information about the settlement is available at the Monitor’s website: http://bankofamerica.mortgagesettlementmonitor.com. The Monitor’s mailing address is: Monitor of the Bank of America Mortgage Settlement, P.O. Box 10134, Dublin, OH 43017-3134, and the e-mail address is [email protected].
