Timex contract signing with Polo Tri Team

Timex forges a significant partnership with the Philippine Polo Triathlon Team last June 18 in Makati City. The world-renowned timepiece provider has strengthened its ties with the internationally-known team in a contract signing headed by Timex General Manager Avinash Uttamchandani and Polo Tri Team founder Fred Uytengsu.

With Uytengsu at the helm, the Polo Tri team competes in both local and international competitions comprised primarily of over 60 athletic members of different professions and age group. “It is with pride that Timex continuously shows support with a growing group as effervescent as the Polo Tri. We are in high spirits that upon entering our fifth-year partnership, we will still provide an essential ally to the team’s performance when it comes to time-gears,” notes Uttamchandani.

“The Polo Tri team essentially uses Timex watches for trainings and races. And through the years, we are happy that Timex has unrelentingly showed us support. What better way for our athletes to be equipped but with a leading brand in the watch industry that is known to produce quality, value, and timeless styles,” Uytengsu says prior to the event.

Time-geared athletes have converged in a cocktail party bannering the group’s official timepiece, the Timex Ironman® Target Trainer HRM. This piece features a TAP Technology packaged neatly in black straps with a 3-Workout memory with recall of lap/split times and average hour per lap. In addition, the Timex Ironman® Target Trainer HRM has an interval timer with eight segments, each containing its own label and HR Zone, an HR in BPM or %-of-Max Format and an Automatic Recovery Heart Rate Timer with user-selectable time. The timepiece user can also choose from ten target zones with alerts and recall AVG/Peak Workout HR, Time in Zone and calories burned.

Timex never ceases to come up with innovations that will perfectly suit each one’s interest and lifestyle. Truly, a great bond has been built between Polo Tri and Timex in aiming for a strong camaraderie and quality, desired results.

HAPEEness in a toothpaste

Fully Filipino-owned Lamoiyan Corporation has more reasons to smile as it continues to bring world-class quality yet affordable products that never fail to earn the peoples' trust and loyalty, especially now that the company is in its 25^thyear of existence.

In perfect time with its Silver anniversary this year, the company now has more than 30,000 fans in leading social network site Facebook, and still continuously growing – a feat that only proves the unstoppable patronage it gains from the local market.

Hapee’s Facebook page served as a venue to connect with the brand’s market, most of them Filipino moms. Not only that the site served as a tool for hapee to reach out to its market, but also it served as a page where fans can get practical household tips and useful parenting advice for everyday. And when the page reached its 10, 000 mark, hapee took the chance to hear more from their fans and asked them: "Bakit hapee ang toothpaste mo?"

From among the thousands of statements made during the campaign, one of the most convincing ones was that of Daisy Villadores de Belen, who admits that their family already tried almost all the toothpaste brands available in the market and yet they still stuck to hapee  for her kids really love the taste that is not too spicy. With this, she writes: "Happing happy kami sa hapee."

The same reason was also given by Era Mae Dagondon, who particularly liked hapee’s flavorful taste, not to mention its refreshing effect to the mouth and the softness of the bubbles she feels every time she brushes her teeth. Meanwhile, Filomena Villanueva swears that it's "really worth it without the need for a mouthwash”.

            

Apart from its world-class quality that is comparable to other more expensive brands, what's also keeping consumers loyal to hapee toothpaste is its reasonable price. According to Michelle Talaboc, while prices of some commodities continue to go up, it's good to know that Lamoiyan remains affordable, especially for those who have less in life. This, in turn, gives her a reason to smile amid life’s challenges.

       

For practical mothers who want only the best for their family, hapee toothpaste is indeed the right choice for them. Belinda Maravilla, who considers herself so meticulous in choosing every product she buys, shares that it's only hapee that her family is very satisfied with given the kind of dental care it provides and yet friendly to the budget.

The self-confessed frugal Merly Onayan, on the other hand, cites that she, who values the hard-earnings of her husband, won't settle for something expensive if there's an alternative that can also give the best result in oral hygiene. Because Rho-anne Repre considers the brand as the "Hapeeness ng pamilya ko, hapeeness pa ngbulsako!" she indeed gives the consuming public a convincing statement that they need not have to spend more just to have a beautiful smile.

            

Beyond the wonders of hapee toothpaste as a product, the legacy behind it also contributes to its big following. It is a known fact that Lamoiyan Corporation is a 100 percent Filipino firm established in March 1998 by no less than its visionary owner, Dr. Cecilio K. Pedro who, despite the unfortunate closure of his first business venture Aluminum Containers, Inc., was not discouraged but instead opted to challenge the big multinationals by introducing a purely local brand that is of the same quality as theirs.  

            

Seeing the company's humble beginnings, Cristina Lim stresses that hapee toothpaste truly reflects the very distinct Filipino quality that is "masikap" or "diligent," which can be at par with the best in the world. Proud of the company and its founder's success, Ria Tacderas Bahri, meanwhile, says that it is but proper to love and patronize a brand made by a Filipino for the Filipino. What's more, Lamoiyan sets a good example as a firm that offers equal employment opportunities for hearing-impaired individuals which, for Ace Mendoza, only shows that it truly cares for the people.

            

These responses, which also share the same sentiments with the rest, clearly reflect this: That hapee toothpaste is truly a world-class yet affordable brand in the market today made by a homegrown company that is Lamoiyan Corporation, whose mission to produce quality products as well as create opportunities for the people for the betterment of the country, is truly a source of Filipino pride.

CHAMPS: Mother's Choice for Champions

CHAMPS is a brand for multivitamin preparations designed for the health and wellness of the Pediatric age group. It comes in several variants which have been formulated to address the specific needs of various segments of the pediatric population. These variants include CHAMPS Vitamin C,  CHAMPS M, CHAMPS M with lysine, CHAMPS C plus lysine, and of course CHAMPS OMEGA 3.

These multivitamins come in small chewable tablets and in various shapes and tasty flavors. One cannot ignore that the real problem experienced by parents, specifically mother, is the difficulty in making kids take medications- and yes this includes vitamins. Tasty flavored syrup are good but once the teaspoon or medical glass filled with these syrup come close to the nose of children sometimes a long chase or “struggle” happens. Why? Because these still smell like medicine despite the “good taste”.   

This is one of the reasons why CHAMPS multivitamins become a logical alternative option for parents to offer to children in taking their vitamins and as we want to say – taking the vitamins the fun way because these multivitamin preparations come in candy form and with good flavors to suit the taste of children.

Beauty Counter: Retouch. Resexify with Vitress

Born with a straight black hair (thanks to my mom and dad), I never really cared about hair products. Since I don't see the need of taking care of my hair or make it shine more. But growing up, after being exposed to the environment, I noticed that may hair has tangles na. It does not look healthier anymore. I thought I need to go to a salon para ma-remove yung tangles and all that.  

But when I started working, my friend told me na try ko daw yung Vitress products. Para ma-tame daw yung tangles nya and para maging shiny again. So I tried. And yes, I got hooked instantly! And that was years ago. I've been using Vitress products every now and then. 

Now, Vitress has a new line of products that not only can protect, but it can also shine, relax, repair, heat protect, sun protect, strengthen and polish. It will also retouch and resexify our hair again! :))

For stubborn curls and waves, use the Vitress Instant Relax Cuticle Coat:
