Make super moments pain-free with Panadol

Are you one of those people who easily suffers from headache due to changed of weather? I do. And sometimes it last the whole day. One time my daughter Sofi asked me why I always have headaches. It cut short of the time I should be spending playing with her because I have to take a short nap thinking it might go away. I guess one way or another, we suffer from headaches that stop us from doing anything, even spending quality time with our family. Whenever I have one of those times, I always have paracetamol on hand (my hubby also suffer with headaches from time to time) to at least lessen the pain. 

And now that it's summer, we want to spend as much time as possible outside enjoying outdoor activities, right? But too much heat can make us prone to headache. Good thing Panadol provides fast-acting pain relief, promises to take away the pain 5x much faster than other paracetamol.

Creating a Benchmark for Volunteerism and Social Responsibility with The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®

Long before corporate social responsibility and volunteerism became a buzzword for brands and corporations, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® has already made it an intrinsic mission and company philosophy. 

It’s a commitment that they took on back in 2008, when they started the Give In To Giving, 12 Cups with The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® campaign, an initiative designed to share this mission with its loyal customers. “It began by taking something that was relevant to customers at the time—the “planner craze,” if you will— and creating something more meaningful that could be an extension of our commitment as a brand to giving back. What spurred out of this intention was a Commemorative Notebook that became a medium for us, and our patrons, to support advocacies in need and share their blessings. It was and continues to be the only journal that encourages more purposeful action towards ones’ social responsibility,” explained Paolo del Rosario, Vice President for Marketing of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®.

Repertory Philippines presents 4,000 Miles

Filipinos are family-oriented. That is the story of our culture. A fact woven into the very fabric of our existence. From our first hours on earth to the very last, we are surrounded with family. We celebrate birthdays, fiestas, countless Christmases and reunions together. Truly, we value our family ties. From our parents and siblings, to our lolos and lolas, Pinoys are known for putting a premium on what matters most.

That’s why the cast of Rep’s latest offering believe that Filipinos can relate with the story of 4,000 Miles, a play about an widowed old woman and her grandson who suddenly drops by after a cross-country bike ride.

“It’s about understanding. It’s about our journey towards growth and wisdom. That’s what makes it so universal. I think by the end of it, we’ll all walk away just a bit wiser about the dynamic of human relationship,” Bart Guingona, the play’s director said.

#SeizeTheSummer with Vaseline Water-Based Serum + Win a trip to Bali!

Aaaahh the sky is clear, the sun is up! It's only the first week of March but we're already experiencing the summer heat. Summer is the perfect time to relax, to hit the beach and feel the sand. Time for some getaways and holidays. Time to go to that dream summer destination and explore. Exciting, isn't it? But did you know that every summer, with the heat and humidity especially in our country, our skin is prone to sun damage and sun burnt? I'm sure we're all aware of it but we don't do anything about it, and I'm no exemption. I hate putting lotion, cream or any sun screen protection every summer. Summer is a sad season for my poor skin because I really don't like the ickiness, greasy, sticky feeling. It's likely I will regret my laziness in the future.

But, I had a change of heart when I learned about the new Vaseline Water-Based Serum. Now I know how I will take care of my skin and shield against the harsh summer sun.

Indigenous youth share their culture at 2nd Katutubo Exchange program

More than the thrill of riding high up the clouds and reaching a destination, travel has the transformative power to introduce someone to the life outside the world he lives in, which leaves him with a new perspective and fresh approach in life. This was how travel opened the eyes of Dr. Edwin Antonio to the rich and often overlooked culture of the Philippines’ Indigenous Peoples. Working for an arts and culture agency, he traveled frequently to different parts of the country and immersed himself in varied communities. He once conducted a photography workshop for the children of an indigenous community and saw how much impact that activity made on them.

Katutubo Exchange found an ally in Cebu Pacific, whose sponsorship allowed 12 indigenous youths from Mindanao to be a part of the organization’s cross-cultural program. 

“I took a group to take photos of a local festival celebration and observed how they felt like real journalists covering an event. I realized that they just needed some exposure to build their confidence and dream of the future,” Antonio said. This experience led Antonio to put up Katutubo Exchange Philippines, a volunteer group of cultural workers and youth that advocate the promotion of indigenous culture. And part of their efforts is the Katutubo Exchange Program (KEP) which promotes cross-cultural understanding and traditional arts, and heightens awareness on indigenous cultures.
