Cleaning your way to a Happy Mother’s Day

The whole month of May is dedicated for all moms and you can still celebrate Mother’s Day. And just like how you usually prepare for any season, you are probably glued to your screen searching for the best gift for your mom. And, with just a few clicks, you will get suggestions like “72 Unique Gifts for Moms” or “Flowers for Moms.”

There is a new diaper in town!

MAKUKU baby diapers are now in the Philippines!

Filipino mommies, are you ready? The MAKUKU Slim and Comfort series diapers are now available in the Philippines! Say hello to your baby’s new best friend and say goodbye to the baby’s unwanted bum rashes, irritation, and diaper leakage.

MAKUKU was founded in China in 2020. It is a brand that aims to produce the best baby necessities around the world. MAKUKU easily gained the trust of Chinese mothers and proceeded to establish 28 branches all over China in less than a year and is now expanding in other Asian countries.

MAKUKU is known for producing high quality and durable baby diapers. As we all know, the Philippines is a country with high humidity – given this, finding the right diaper which gives ultimate comfort is a struggle for parents. As a result, MAKUKU created its Slim and Comfort series diapers to address this problem.

What makes the MAKUKU Slim and Comfort diaper series different from the other diapers?

1. Soft, Skin-Friendly with Vitamin C

According to research, the baby’s skin pH level is close to neutral but quickly changes to acidic when the diaper is left too long with urine. This is one of the main reasons why babies get diaper rash after peeing. The MAKUKU SLIM series diaper creates a new diaper environment of Vitamin C weak acid which will be incorporated into the inner surface of the diaper that will protect the baby’s skin even after peeing. Furthermore, these diapers were made of silk peptide protein that has an improved long-lasting, antibacterial formula to prevent the forming of micro bacteria and also protects the baby’s skin which eases the worry of mommies.

2. Lightweight and Super Absorbent

MAKUKU diaper is made out of 4th generation diaper core technology with dual-core super absorption polymers (SAP) and as thin as 0.2mm – making it one of the lightest diapers in the market. On the other hand, the MAKUKU Slim and Comfort series diapers developed an ultra-thin suspension core and fully imported water-absorbing polymer structure product technology. The height of the leak-proof sides is up to 4 cm, which can effectively prevent side leakage and keep the baby dry and refreshed. It provides quick-absorption of liquid which avoids skin irritation leaving a healthier and more comfortable feeling for the baby. Filipino Mommies no longer need to check and monitor their babies for any leakage after a couple of hours. It also has a gentle fit with an easy-to-retract elastic waistband for the comfort of the baby.

3. Comfortable and Trendy Design

MAKUKU diapers are also made of soft elastic Velcro that makes the baby’s waist feel more comfortable and itch-free. In addition, MAKUKU diapers’ baby fruit designs are made with Benzac and Ketone-free fat-soluble ink making the diapers look cute and more fun.

MAKUKU is finally here, and will definitely stay to protect and provide comfort for your babies. Available in different sizes, for different needs of your little ones in LazMall (www.lazada.com.ph/shop/makukuph) and Shopee https://shopee.ph/makukuph)

Give your baby the best care possible and be a MAKUKU mom. 🙂

World Oral Health Day Campaign with Cleene Clio

This year, Cleene CLIO Toothbrush, a product by PHILUSA Corporation, joins the World Oral Health Day this March 20th with the goal of making toothbrushing an accessible and fun routine among Filipino families.

During pandemic crises, oral hygiene is most likely to be neglected. It is very important for every family to be reminded of reinforcing proper oral habits and routines among themselves, especially their children who are prone to having cavities. Being equipped with a trusted oral hygiene product like Cleene CLIO Toothbrush can help parents like me teach their kids to take extra care of their oral health. 🙂

For moms on a budget like me who is always on the hunt for affordable yet good quality products, Cleene CLIO can be your trusted partner for your families oral care needs. What I like most about their toothbrush is that it is made with Microfine Soft Bristles, which can help penetrate and clean hard to reach areas of your teeth. Like our family, yours will certainly experience thorough deep cleaning between their teeth and gums while having a gentle, comfortable, and effective brushing experience, especially for those with sensitive gums and teeth.

There is a Cleene CLIO toothbrush for every member of the family that is affordable and has world-class quality. For those wanting extra care and protection for your teeth, Cleene CLIO offers its Refreshing Green Tea and Ultimax Charcoal under their Special care line. While for those needing specialized care, Cleene CLIO has its Kiddie and Junior as well as 40+ for sensitive gum and teeth. It also has its economy toothbrushes for general oral health care for any age.

To emphasize the importance of good oral health practices at home, Cleene CLIO has partnered with Manila Water Foundation and Philippine Dental Association to provide oral health kits to various barangays and schools as part of this year’s World Oral Health Day activities. Over 2,000 health kits containing Cleene CLIO toothbrushes and Dental Floss Premium from Cleene CLIO and PHILUSA were distributed to 12 barangays and to the chosen hygiene facility in Dinalaonan Elementary School in Pangasinan.

And as a special treat for World Oral Health Day, selected Cleene CLIO products will be sold at 20% off exclusively in Mercury Drug stores nationwide until April 15, 2022.

#StrongerNow Than Yesterday: Inspiring Stories of Great Hair Days

There is no denying that hair has always been a significant symbol for women. As they say, “Hair is your crowning glory” and it’s not just because hair sits right on top of your head. Hair can contribute to a woman’s identity and can affect how confident they feel. While hair can look different from day to day, in moments they need to feel most empowered, a great hair day might just be the boost that they need. 

Great hair days can transform ordinary moments into moments of empowerment that some can only dare to dream of. Here are some great hair day stories from local stars that many Filipinas can relate to and use as their inspiration.

Pinky Webb finally opens up on her recent iconic hair flip moment. “Looking back as I faced a difficult situation, feeling the tension and pressure about to get to me, I chose to remain calm and unintentionally did, well, a hair flip. Luckily, I chose to wear my hair down that day. Even better, I felt empowered with my Salontastic hair!” 

“No matter the length, style and colour of my hair Pantene shampoo and conditioner have made my hair look amazing, making me feel empowered. At the moment I’m loving the Pantene salon inspired conditioners!” Whether it be on stage as a host or performer, on screen as an actor or just at home as a mum and wife, Anne Curtis shares that Pantene has made her feel empowered through making her hair look amazing. 

With so many tasks at hand from conceptualization to shooting vlogs, Gabbi Garcia talks about how challenging and fulfilling it is when she works on her content. “I feel more in control and empowered. Just like how Pantene empowers me to be more confident with my crowning glory, that even if I give less effort to my hair, it always stays  Salontastic! Because with Salontastic hair, I feel empowered to own those challenging moments.”

“Looking back at my my achievements takes me to a place of gratitude.” Kylie Verzosa shares, as she flashes back to memorable moments, such as when she represented the PH and won the Miss International crown, became a mental health advocate, and when Mental Health Matters — her own mental health organization was recognized by international organisations. “It was always a dream and accomplishment of mine. I feel more confident that even If I give less effort to my hair, it always stays to be Salontastic!’

“I think the most challenging part of being a mother is to embody the values we want to impart our children. It is not enough to teach or tell them what is right but we also have to show them that we practice what we teach them. Truly motherhood changes your ways, the way you see things and even how you think…”  Sofia Andres shares how some parenting moments have provided her the empowerment she never realized she would have found as a mom. “If you are a mom and you are afraid too, just be the woman you want you children to be. In the little things like when our children play with our hair, we can stay confident that it will always stay Salontastic. Because with Salontastic hair, I feel empowered to own those moments.”

What’s their secret? For #StrongerNow defining hair moments, the Pantene Long Hair Solutions with Pro-Vitamin Formula & Japanese Rice Oil Essence Shampoo has your hair covered. It helps your hair grow longer with Tocotrienol—a super Vitamin E, which has 50X anti-damaging benefits, while Japanese Rice Oil Essence fortifies the outside. This ultimately repairs damaged hair and keeps it protected from external factors, allowing the hair to grow longer, stronger, and beautifully smoother. 

To cap it all off, strengthen your hair against breakage with the Pantene Hair Fall Control Miracle Conditioner for 98% less hair fall. This smoothens 3 months’ worth of damage in just 3 minutes with the Pro-V formula. It also nourishes hair for added strength and shine so you can be #Salontastic, even without going to the salon. 

With so many stories of inspiration and empowerment, who knew that hair actually contributes to women’s confidence? If you’ve been reluctant to change your hair routine, it’s high time to embrace the change and #PushMoLong just in time for Women’s National Month. Take on the challenge of being #StrongerNow than ever before and look forward to great hair days with Pantene. 

Pantene allows your hair to be at its best condition yet so you’re able to experience empowering, great hair days.

Defensil Isopropyl Alcohol welcomes Richard Gutierrez, Sarah Lahbati, and kids as brand ambassadors

Defensil 70% Solution Isopropyl Alcohol welcome newlyweds, Richard Gutierrez and Sarah Lahbati, together with their adorable kids Zion and Kai, as their brand ambassadors as they continue their campaign to be Filipino families’ ally in germ protection in the new normal.

Adjusting to the New Normal with Defensil Isopropyl Alcohol

Newlyweds Richard and Sarah, celebrated their new life together in quarantine. While being stuck at home was an opportunity for them to spend more time together as a family—planting, painting and playing all sorts of games, they also needed to go through a lot of adjustments as a family. 

One adjustment that they had to do was to look for better ways to protect their family against germs, with the threat of the virus still continuing up until now. They found their newest ally in Defensil 70% Solution Isopropyl Alcohol, which promises a higher level of protection against germs and viruses. 

“We believe in innovative products. Not only does Defensil come from a company we trust, Defensil 70% Solution Isopropyl Alcohol is also recommended by experts,” said Sarah. 

“And since we use alcohol more frequently to sanitize, I also like how it not only kills germs and bacteria, but also has moisturizer to not dry our skin,” she added. 

One way to prevent the spread of germs is regular disinfection of hands and high touch surfaces using a rubbing alcohol. To provide a higher level of defense against germs in the new normal, the Philippine Society for Microbiology is recommending Defensil 70% Solution Isopropyl Alcohol.

Created by Beauty Elements Ventures Inc, Defensil 70% Solution Isopropyl Alcohol kills 99.9% of germs to give Richard and Sarah’s family the peace of mind that they are well-defended. It starts to kill germs on contact and upon constant use, provides up to 12-hour protection.

New Normal Holidays

Celebrating the holidays is surely going to be different for the Gutierrez family this year. For Richard and Sarah, social distancing is something that they’re keeping in mind as they celebrate the holiday season, along with making sure that everyone sanitizes and disinfects using Defensil. 

The family wishes to go on a local holiday trip with family bringing their new ally, Defensil. With this, Sarah shares three simple tips to fellow parents on how to keep their family safe from germs during the holiday season. 

First, social distancing is a must. Second, always wear a mask. It is important for parents to teach their kids the importance of wearing masks, which help to prevent the transmission of the virus. And, lastly, always disinfect with an alcohol that makes sure you and the family are well-defended— like Defensil Isopropyl Alcohol.

Pasig River Master Plan Completed!

The PRRC, in collaboration with UP PLANADES, designed the Pasig River Integrated and Strategic Master Plan (PRISM) with a vision that by 2032, the Pasig River and its surrounding basins are resilient life-sustaining ecosystems that are able to support diverse human needs and biodiversity towards inclusive, harmonized, and balanced development co-managed by competent and adaptive institutions with responsible and empowered communities.

This new restoration strategy covers water quality management, stream flow management, catchment management and riparian management so that the Pasig River will again enshrine socioeconomic, aesthetic, environmental, recreational and cultural values amid changing risks and natural perturbations.

The illustration below provides a brief summary of the integrated wastewater treatment systems, one of the 19 priority projects proposed in the PRISM to help improve the water quality of the Pasig River, and for concerned agencies to comply with concession agreement, and other environmental laws.
