Days are long, nights are short. There’s sunshine all day and it’s a great time to go out, play outdoors and just generally have a good time.</p><p>But summer can have some drawbacks. The sun is at its hottest and most intense in summer. Too much sun exposure can cause sunburn, wrinkles, premature aging and even skin cancer. The sun’s UV rays are strongest and most harmful in summer.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCWV7qh5AWgkLa4EiwI32N11vgx-7wjLOhh8gqiWtfb54iXeXOWW5LJjzPzXnH9g4JY9LxiyDFxC-o23jpJsHimusDTmC7upVpx0B2VjMW2gtkWIhwXXKUzhsLSAJAothWvJk16brUlNW0Z_5CttMzQ3Eu5rQfyKfA_TUMbIVYEyRlVIS3ClL3L4VRpjQ/s2048/Beauche%CC%81%20Summer%20Buddies%20Media%20Launch%208.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1355" data-original-width="2048" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCWV7qh5AWgkLa4EiwI32N11vgx-7wjLOhh8gqiWtfb54iXeXOWW5LJjzPzXnH9g4JY9LxiyDFxC-o23jpJsHimusDTmC7upVpx0B2VjMW2gtkWIhwXXKUzhsLSAJAothWvJk16brUlNW0Z_5CttMzQ3Eu5rQfyKfA_TUMbIVYEyRlVIS3ClL3L4VRpjQ/w640-h424/Beauche%CC%81%20Summer%20Buddies%20Media%20Launch%208.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>There’s also more heat and humidity that yeast and bacteria love. That means there’s a higher risk of catching yeast infections in summer. Summer sweat can also breed odor-causing bacteria.</p><p>But don’t let summer scare you. This March Beauché International has launched a bundle of skincare and feminine hygiene products that will provide women with protection, radiance and confidence all summer long and beyond.</p><p>Called the Beauché Summer Buddies, the product trio created by the fully-Filipino owned total skin management company founded by Che Toribio De Los Reyes, is designed to address all the potential problems that can come up during summer.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHuPbpm3KI7rvZmLfZ2EOzLNU-T5vptbqJNIFEOtoxYMY-oKrlhzFyUlrGhmmLQrVTZAj2mA0158nOm06oiiADrhO-2Jn8Exset18qsFaoIwkzRutpzCInK3gemPBW5Ymn1nmEnM9b-ytZ4CdPE3oRi8Uh-_BUu_bLOpL0pjUt04UV8ThuQe0NesMEDiE/s2048/Beauche%CC%81%20Summer%20Buddies%20Media%20Launch%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1364" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHuPbpm3KI7rvZmLfZ2EOzLNU-T5vptbqJNIFEOtoxYMY-oKrlhzFyUlrGhmmLQrVTZAj2mA0158nOm06oiiADrhO-2Jn8Exset18qsFaoIwkzRutpzCInK3gemPBW5Ymn1nmEnM9b-ytZ4CdPE3oRi8Uh-_BUu_bLOpL0pjUt04UV8ThuQe0NesMEDiE/w640-h426/Beauche%CC%81%20Summer%20Buddies%20Media%20Launch%201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>Leading the pack is Beauché Ultimate Sunscreen Protection (SPF50), a lightweight, no whitecast, non-greasy sunscreen. It leaves a silky finish that provides high SPF50 PA+++ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection against skin aging and burning. Packaged in a lightweight, handy pack it can easily fit in a bag or pocket so it’s ready to apply anytime.</p><p>It is suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin because it has tea tree oil that controls oil production and niacinamide that soothes and improves skin texture. It won’t clog pores and can be applied liberally on the skin and exposed parts of the body.</p><p>To address women’s potential summer problems with yeast and bacterial infections, there’s Beauché Fem Care Revitalizing Intimate Wash. This revitalizing feminine wash keeps the microbiome balanced as it provides gentle, intimate cleansing and protection during periods and in-between. It contains a probiotic Sakura extract that creates an environment for healthy bacteria to grow. Its naturally balanced pH formula makes it safe to use daily and as needed.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipmT1uExwBD807HCA_vQc-_SfQwsBOPLM6s7nYTxl-P4KGMnuzvGsncUtk4DeYPdYROMOjilbNxpTNCTNrfL51oDPchoUD_J_DUWURmWEPYinvapcU9AckQFbnBklPPmVVOw5b_oKjH1mZwEkGN9UPLZ9awVG8Dk_D4scJ40FDfJSlEpwq_ToKNreiEl8/s2048/Beauche%CC%81%20Summer%20Buddies%20Media%20Launch%209.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipmT1uExwBD807HCA_vQc-_SfQwsBOPLM6s7nYTxl-P4KGMnuzvGsncUtk4DeYPdYROMOjilbNxpTNCTNrfL51oDPchoUD_J_DUWURmWEPYinvapcU9AckQFbnBklPPmVVOw5b_oKjH1mZwEkGN9UPLZ9awVG8Dk_D4scJ40FDfJSlEpwq_ToKNreiEl8/w640-h426/Beauche%CC%81%20Summer%20Buddies%20Media%20Launch%209.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>Completing the trio is Beauché Serum Deodorant, a whitening Anti-Perspirant that provides 24-hr maximum protection from underarm sweat and odor. It contains Alpaflor® Gigawhite CB, a natural brightener produced from a combination of extracts from seven unique Swiss alpine plants that also reduces skin discoloration, brightens underarms and provides an even skin tone. The unique formula is easily absorbed and leaves underarms feeling dry with up to 24-hour protection.</p><p>“Serum Deodorant is the modern, reliable and safe way to neutralize odor without interfering with the body's natural sweat production or the skin’s natural acid barrier,” explained Ms. Kaye Toribio-Danganan, Chief Operating Officer of Beauché International.</p><p>“We’ve always looked at Summer as a special time when women feel more self conscious because of health, freshness and confidence concerns. These three things – looking good, feeling good and smelling good – are especially important during summer. This is why we created Summer Buddies, so we can provide women with widely available, affordable solutions for sun protection, freshness, and feminine care.”</p><p>Beauché’s Summer Buddies and other Beauché skin care and beauty care products are available at Beauché stores and kiosks in malls and on online shopping sites Shoppee, TikTok and Lazada.</p><p>Beauché products are sold locally and internationally.</p><p>For more information, go to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/BeaucheOfficial">www.facebook.com/BeaucheOfficial</a> and @beauchemainoffice on Instagram. </p>Kathy Balmoreshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04521736763389163485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949086196521623904.post-86043257433327193272024-03-15T13:02:00.002+08:002024-03-15T13:02:38.206+08:00Nu Skin Philippines Introduces "Live Well" Campaign<p>Nu Skin Philippines is excited to launch its groundbreaking "Live Well" campaign, revolutionizing holistic wellness in the country.

Volunteers gather to facilitate values formation activities aligned with the Department of Education’s core advocacies and to engage school children aged 10-12 in tasks aimed at promoting positive Filipino traits.The group typically stays at the beneficiary school for the duration of the camp, with the final day reserved for local community immersion and exploration.</p><p>Every MAD Camp is supported by a fundraiser called BIDA Eskwela (Bigay Ayuda para sa Eskwela) in which funds collected will be used to provide each student-participant a “Bag of Dreams” with school supplies and other tokens. This year, the organization is pushing for the “Piso mula sa Puso para sa Pangarap ko” theme that aims to secure donations for as little as one peso. With such a small amount, I am MAD believes the collective efforts of everyone will make a big difference. Donations can be made through bit.ly/bidadonate. </p><p>For updates, partnerships, and volunteer opportunities, follow and message I am MAD on Facebook - fb.com/IamMakingADifference or send an email to iammadph@gmail.com. </p>Kathy Balmoreshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04521736763389163485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949086196521623904.post-20672022281089582282024-03-06T20:11:00.003+08:002024-03-06T20:11:47.933+08:00Jollibee Makes Summer Extra Saya with New Pinoy Summer Specials<p>The summer season is off to a great start as Jollibee launches their new Pinoy Summer Specials—the returning favorite Ube Cheese Pie and the new Buko Pandan Sundae!</p><p>These are some of the well-loved Filipino dessert flavors with added extra sarap twists for an extra saya summer.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAgd-Oh9HxgID458Zdc0e85dP9Iq7ZI1vzfmiVS05Fnm3rmN7HvI_yqKhTgPl1636C58h4dziSH8w35vRlgV6AMvGg0cR4pejwkHhnMs3D_txhv4KT2spepKXqJu1i-nrQgODpDl_LVb_usJqN11C2erusOKdO4tKSacoOzZBih-riXmn4FktLpKEHfDA/s609/image005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="609" data-original-width="436" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAgd-Oh9HxgID458Zdc0e85dP9Iq7ZI1vzfmiVS05Fnm3rmN7HvI_yqKhTgPl1636C58h4dziSH8w35vRlgV6AMvGg0cR4pejwkHhnMs3D_txhv4KT2spepKXqJu1i-nrQgODpDl_LVb_usJqN11C2erusOKdO4tKSacoOzZBih-riXmn4FktLpKEHfDA/w458-h640/image005.jpg" width="458" /></a></div><p>The Ube Cheese Pie is making a comeback with Jollibee's signature crispy crust filled with oozing ube halaya and creamy cheese filling.

Women may sometimes not also know that they’re already experiencing symptoms associated with menopause, or that there are non-hormonal options that can help them alleviate their discomfort. </p><p>Menopause can be a difficult time in a woman’s life, which is why Femarelle is here to support women and help them in every stage of their menopause journey by addressing their specific needs. With Femarelle, women can continue to enjoy healthy aging.</p><p><b>Managing estrogen decline</b></p><p>Menopause is a natural life stage for women. Menopause normally occurs between the ages of 44-55 years old, but some women can experience the symptoms of menopause as early as 30 years old. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), women aged 50 years old and above accounted for 26% of all women and girls globally. </p><p>Transitioning to the perimenopausal stage brings a lot of changes to women. This hormonal change can affect a woman’s physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being. Perimenopausal symptoms vary per individual; some women may experience a few symptoms, while others may experience symptoms so severe that it affects their daily life. Some women’s symptoms also prevail long after they experienced menopause.</p><p>Menopausal symptoms can include mood swings, weight gain, night sweats, sleep disturbances, hot flushes, decreased libido, and vaginal dryness. Menopause can also affect a woman’s bone density, which increases her risk of having osteoporosis and fractures. All of these are related to declining estrogen levels. </p><p>It’s important to understand that menopause, just like puberty, is another life stage in a continuum of a woman’s life. Estrogen decline and the changes it brings can significantly affect a woman’s health as she ages. However, many women often ignore menopause symptoms due to social taboos or denial. A lot don’t also seek medical advice when it comes to managing their symptoms despite experiencing great discomfort. Hence, it’s critical that women are given proper perimenopausal care to promote healthy aging and make sure she enjoys a good quality of life. </p><p><b>How Femarelle can help</b></p><p>Non-hormonal interventions like Femarelle can help women manage symptoms and improve their quality of life. Endorsed by leading gynecologists around the world, Femarelle is a supplement that can support a woman through healthy aging. </p><p>Femarelle is formulated with soya extract DT56a. DT56a, which originates from soybeans, is a proprietary standardized compound that works in the body in a selective manner, managing the symptoms that occur due to hormonal changes in the different stages of menopause, without affecting any sensitive tissues and without adding risk factors. This formula has been clinically proven safe and effective in many studies and has been accepted by leading doctors and gynecologists around the world as a favorable treatment option for menopausal women.</p><p>Just as any woman is different, the Femarelle line includes three products that target the most common symptoms that women experience during or after their menopause.</p><p>Femarelle Rejuvenate targets the perimenopausal stage — it offers support for women in their 40s who are starting to experience hormonal changes in their regular menstruation patterns. With Femarelle Rejuvenate, women can enjoy better control over their mood, improve their sleep, enjoy increased energy levels, and experience better skin elasticity.</p><p>Femarelle Recharge targets women who are in their menopause stage — women in their 50s who are plagued by the symptoms that occur once their menstruation stops. Femarelle Recharge offers a swift relief from hot flashes and night sweats. It also helps women get a better sexual quality of life and control over their mood and anxiety.</p><p>Femarelle Unstoppable targets the post-menopausal stage. It helps postmenopausal women increase their energy levels, improve their bone health and vaginal health, and enjoy better sleep.</p><p>Femarelle contains 4 sheets of 14 capsules, totalling 56 capsules per pack. Each sheet provides a week’s supply of capsules. It should be taken twice daily, one in the morning and one in the evening. It can also be taken with or without food. Femarelle is currently priced at SRP PHP 2,000 per pack and is now available over-the-counter via Mercury Drug and Watsons stores nationwide.</p><p>Menopause can be a difficult time in a woman’s life, which is why Femarelle is here to support women and help them in every stage of their menopause journey by addressing their specific needs.

The running quip among friends is that Southies ( or Southerners - slang for people living in the South of Metro Manila) have always been adjusting to those living in the North. While this must be true for some, the South has its own offerings that people can enjoy and love. Its strategic location and connectivity are just two of the reasons why RLC Residences chose the area to be the home of its nature-inspired development, Woodsville Crest.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglx_oOw-g2Ul7EMTZVxSlEHcon6cd2G2Kmsy1fRIufrBiFYHqQ8Bl60XylGhnInD7Dqs30dX5xqntF-IqRx_3WIFYRWyZLKZ4O9MV5UVCW0gPn2uAATie4LAGtZe1jk856fLOJXW9nKw1-DMM9rjuUm9YfqhdoH0mUo7jnlqZGUtH6L_3NsXxS35z2QvM/s3000/WVC-Map-Nearby-Destinations.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="3000" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglx_oOw-g2Ul7EMTZVxSlEHcon6cd2G2Kmsy1fRIufrBiFYHqQ8Bl60XylGhnInD7Dqs30dX5xqntF-IqRx_3WIFYRWyZLKZ4O9MV5UVCW0gPn2uAATie4LAGtZe1jk856fLOJXW9nKw1-DMM9rjuUm9YfqhdoH0mUo7jnlqZGUtH6L_3NsXxS35z2QvM/w640-h512/WVC-Map-Nearby-Destinations.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><p>Woodsville Crest, RLC Residences’ soon-to-be Oasis South of Metro is located at Merville, Parañaque making it accessible to Metro Manila’s central business districts (CBDs) and the vibrant lifestyle destinations in the South. Recently, the developer launched Olive, Woodsville Crest’s latest building that offers a holistic living experience for a gentle blend of work, leisure, and community life. Learn more about the perks of living in the South below. </p><p><b>Jetsetter-friendly! </b></p><p>Southies can say ‘Yes!’ to more #TravelGoals this year as the Ninoy Aquino International Airport is within reach so flying in and out of the city or the country is such a breeze. Moreover, if you’re living in Woodsville Crest, aside from being just 5 kms away from the airport, there’s an added benefit of being able to have a post-trip relaxation with its nature-inspired design filled with vast open green spaces and multiple relaxing pools. </p><p><b>So accessible (especially to CBDs)!</b></p><p>There are so many places people can go to in the South, thanks to being well-connected to different cities through major roads like the Cavitex-C5 Link, SLEX, and Skyway which has also improved the traffic flow in the area. Additionally, upcoming transportation developments Laguna Lakeshore Road Network Project and LRT-1 Extension are already underway which will soon make the South more accessible than ever. </p><p>Aside from these, future residents of Woodsville Crest can also enjoy being connected to key destinations, thanks to its direct access to Edison Avenue and West Service Roads. Going to work or even leisure destinations within the area is going to be easy and convenient.</p><p><b>Lots of hangout spots! </b></p><p>When it comes to hangout places, the South boasts of well-loved dining, shopping, entertainment, and recreational options. The Molito Lifestyle Center is a go-to destination for a reason with its curated dining options and shops while still having a laid-back alfresco park at the center. And just a few stones thrown away are Alabang Town Center (or ‘ATC’ as legit Southies call it ;), Festival Mall, which has its own indoor roller coaster, plus BF Homes - which is literally home to multiple food destinations. South experience won’t also be complete without visiting the relaxing beaches and resorts in Batangas, Cavite, and Laguna. </p><p><b>Exciting activities!</b></p><p>Culture vultures in the South bask at two of Metro Manila’s top entertainment and leisure destinations: Solaire Resort and Newport World Resorts known for staging world-class plays, musicals, ballet shows, and more. On the other hand, outdoorsy types can also take advantage of the Southwoods Golf and Country Club, while historical sites in Cavite and Laguna also offer a fun yet informative experience to those in search of other activities to enjoy. </p><p><b>Dampa seafood and more</b></p><p>Seafood lovers living in the South are in luck as the area, particularly Parañaque, is a haven for those craving Dampa-style seafood. The Dampa area, a fresh seafood market with accompanying restaurants, is just around the corner. Simply buy your seafood of choice and ask the chefs to cook it how you like.</p><p>Aside from this, nearby provinces also offer delectable dishes plus delicacies that everyone can enjoy. Famous Batangas Lomi, Laguna’s sought-after Buko Pie, and Cavite’s Bibingkoy are some of the favorites Southies are proud of.</p><p>“There’s really a lot to love in the South and we’re happy to contribute to the long list through Woodsville Crest. With its strategic location, future residents can enjoy the balance of an exciting and peaceful lifestyle,” says RLC Residences Marketing Head Karen Cesario. </p><p>For those interested in seeking their sanctuary in the South with Woodsville Crest, visit <a href="http://rlcresidences.com">rlcresidences.com</a>. </p>Kathy Balmoreshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04521736763389163485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949086196521623904.post-51241380531158327562024-02-26T21:31:00.001+08:002024-02-26T21:31:02.732+08:00Fastest Growing in PH: Globally Accepted Maya Card Sets New Industry Record <p>The Maya Card, powered by the #1 Digital Bank App Maya, is the Philippine's fastest-growing prepaid card due to its unmatched ease of use, convenience, safety, and worldwide acceptance. </p><p>Visa, a world leader in digital payments, presented Maya with an award for being the top prepaid card issuer in the country, marking its third consecutive accolade from 2021 to 2023. </p><p>This distinction is a testament to Maya's sustained year-on-year growth and its highest prepaid payment volumes</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2JGAjTRqP5bitvLatTT3FIGt2pivYaJusUtX8xuw6_E8OZze5N017a8-1t30ueR8qWEN4QYu1_2L6nIABbqfd1MDiF0VunXgwQjVW7eX_kO5xPlth2014P9te6xsaEt5e5ZB9qZ7DNaXXL6BTRO7hKeH4HbFDvk7v6eeAVR1naZA5HncmpjSNd_7oOkg/s1920/Maya%20Card%20PR.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2JGAjTRqP5bitvLatTT3FIGt2pivYaJusUtX8xuw6_E8OZze5N017a8-1t30ueR8qWEN4QYu1_2L6nIABbqfd1MDiF0VunXgwQjVW7eX_kO5xPlth2014P9te6xsaEt5e5ZB9qZ7DNaXXL6BTRO7hKeH4HbFDvk7v6eeAVR1naZA5HncmpjSNd_7oOkg/w640-h360/Maya%20Card%20PR.png" width="640" /></a></div><p>"We've made it incredibly simple for millions of Filipinos to get a card.

That was the core lesson the country’s foremost public health authorities emphasized at a recent discussion entitled “A Dengue Dialogue: Protecting our Children from the Epidemic” hosted by the Vaccine Solidarity Movement (VSM). </p><p>“My oldest daughter had it 2 times! It was very scary, and I would not want to go through any of that again — but the reality is we are all at risk. Wala pong pinipili ang dengue, bata o matanda, mayaman o mahirap. [dengue can hit anyone, old or young, rich or poor] Ang nakakatakot sa dengue pag akala mo gumaling ang lagnat okay na [what’s scary is, you think it’s better because the fever breaks] BUT that is when it can get fatal. Wag hintayin mawala ang lagnat [don’t wait till the fever breaks], seek medical attention & manage right away.” the event's moderator, broadcaster Niña Corpuz-Rodriguez, shared her personal experience. Like Rodriguez, numerous parents are anxiously seeking more effective solutions to safeguard their children against this debilitating disease. </p><p><b>Signs of the times </b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6JnkTpqk1R1v7Do_se61wu3uwo8-V21KBFyrm9aWUpkcB5-jm8WPPJ485E4O6-qs8tS3VTOxkZJ5DZgyvpijd3fVKlsdSQYY6ko75frfRm5LX4y6PG2Aj1GMfMUamg2vTmsCmsNG5wB8yX4mwS8EUrGowE-yItkIjmD-8lyMyLpeOUV0B9cJCn9lY620/s4200/GMCI_RiseOfDengueCasesCauseForConcern_Photo2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2800" data-original-width="4200" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6JnkTpqk1R1v7Do_se61wu3uwo8-V21KBFyrm9aWUpkcB5-jm8WPPJ485E4O6-qs8tS3VTOxkZJ5DZgyvpijd3fVKlsdSQYY6ko75frfRm5LX4y6PG2Aj1GMfMUamg2vTmsCmsNG5wB8yX4mwS8EUrGowE-yItkIjmD-8lyMyLpeOUV0B9cJCn9lY620/w640-h426/GMCI_RiseOfDengueCasesCauseForConcern_Photo2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p>In 2023 a record year for dengue globally, an unusually dryly “slow” year for the Philippines for dengue, we ranked third among countries with the highest dengue cases. Looking back at previous years' data, it was discovered that in 2019, which was considered a record year for the Philippines, there were 371,717 recorded dengue cases, resulting in 1,407 deaths. Approximately half of these dengue-related deaths occurred in children between the ages of 5 and 9. If the Philippines had not been spared from the record year 2023 due to an unusually dry rainy season, which spared the country from a more severe outbreak, it is estimated that over 1,000 children could have lost their lives to dengue in the same year. </p><p>According to the Department of Health (DOH) Undersecretary of Health for Public Health Services and Chief Information Officer Eric Tayag, there is a possibility of an earlier rise in cases due to El Niño. However, the severity of the dengue outbreaks this year will depend on the behavior of communities and the effectiveness of control measures implemented. </p><p>So, now there is an urgent need to utilize all available weapons in the existing anti-dengue arsenal in our war against dengue. Failure to do so could result in a devastating outcome, with well over 1,000 children losing their lives when dengue inevitably hits us hard again. </p><p><b>A whole-of-nation approach for our children </b></p><p>The experts on the panel emphasized the importance of collective involvement in combating this disease VSM Co-Founder Amor Maclang, speaking at the event, urged the entire nation to actively engage in the fight against Dengue, “Public health issues can only be taken on if the private sector, the government, the whole of society takes on the issue.” </p><p>Dr. Benny Atienza, Vice President of the Philippine Federation of all Professional Associations and Immediate Past President of the Philippine Medical Association, cited an example of a collaborative effort involving children and adults in their lives. He mentioned the development of catchy songs designed to creatively educate children about the disease, enabling them to recognize and effectively communicate symptoms to guardians and medical professionals. </p><p>During the event, Dr. Vicente Belizario Jr., a respected Professor and Former Dean of the College of Public Health at the University of the Philippines Manila, as well as the President of the Philippine Academic Consortium for Public Health, emphasized the crucial role of media and journalists in raising dengue awareness among parents, guardians, and even teachers. He highlighted the significance of education in empowering individuals with knowledge about the disease, its symptoms, prevention methods, and the importance of early detection. Dr. Belizario recognized the media's power to reach a wide audience through television, radio, newspapers, and online platforms, enabling the dissemination of accurate and up-to-date information about dengue. “Media, we appeal to you to raise awareness sapagkat may kanya-kanya po tayong role para maka-iwas sa dengue [because we each have our own role to fulfill in Dengue prevention]”, said Dr. Belizario Jr., called out. </p><p><b>A game-changing new weapon </b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-clAljs3oJdI_sor4d1adgIaDWD3TsmXnESneMGtgG2GllKXxg_NHUN78rWEKLA15-Nh424WDlfWje-aOWDgr6SUVQh3_66R1N_zwmiKAt_UnhGs6-CVGINj5rRk_Ges76iTlID_CLnJzias0Dy4d5DP6w6kDwU-KL5ccvZgmuyBqV9fNcceWuyso140/s3295/GMCI_RiseOfDengueCasesCauseForConcern_Photo1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1860" data-original-width="3295" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-clAljs3oJdI_sor4d1adgIaDWD3TsmXnESneMGtgG2GllKXxg_NHUN78rWEKLA15-Nh424WDlfWje-aOWDgr6SUVQh3_66R1N_zwmiKAt_UnhGs6-CVGINj5rRk_Ges76iTlID_CLnJzias0Dy4d5DP6w6kDwU-KL5ccvZgmuyBqV9fNcceWuyso140/w640-h362/GMCI_RiseOfDengueCasesCauseForConcern_Photo1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p>Dr. Nina Gloriani, former Head of the Vaccine Expert Panel of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), encourages the public to “move with the times” and take advantage of new discoveries such as next-generation vaccines. One of the next-generation vaccines available on the market today is TAK-003, the only next-generation vaccine that has been licensed for use in more than 30 countries: the European Union (EU), the United Kingdom, Argentina, and Countries with dengue epidemiological situations similar to the Philippines such as Indonesia, Brazil, and more recently Thailand. </p><p>The TAK-003 is safe to use for everyone, even those who have not previously had Dengue. The vaccine was engineered on a Dengue backbone, unlike the first dengue vaccine on the market. TAK-003 can create immune responses at different levels to all four strains of dengue virus helping to prevent disease and reduce the likelihood of hospitalization in people with dengue fever. The World Health Organization’s (WHO) Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on Immunization recommends a well-designed communication strategy and community engagement along with the vaccine.</p><p>Gloriani's words resonated with a powerful sense of hope and optimism as she discussed the implementation of vaccines “Hopefully maidagdag natin yung [we can add] vaccination. Meron nang mga pagbabago. [There are new developments.] Nakita nyo kung paano natin nagamit ang mga bagong technology [You’ve seen how new technologies were utilized] for COVID and we have a lot of lessons learned from that”, she said. Her message left no room for doubt, a strategic use of vaccines can pave the way for a better future in our fight against dengue – especially in protecting our children. </p><p>Undersecretary Tayag while emphasizing the importance of a meticulous evaluation process, expressed a willingness to consider the introduction of a new vaccine. His statement reflects a balanced approach, acknowledging the need for a thorough assessment to ensure the safety and efficacy of any potential vaccine. He said, “So ninilaw lang po namin na nananatiling bukas ang Department of Health. Subalit, katulad ng ginawa namin sa COVID, ito ay may mga pag-aaral na dapat gawin at ito ay aming tinitingnang mabuti sapagkat may responsibilidad kami na kung ito man ay irere-introduce natin, ang aming prinsipyo po ay “first do no harm”. [We want to make it clear that the Department of Health remains open. But just like what we did in the COVID-19 situation, this requires a careful study, and we are looking closely into it because if we re-introduce it, we have a responsibility to follow our ‘first do no harm’ principle.” </p><p>With an extraordinary triumph over COVID-19 vaccine misinformation, the Philippines has emerged as a global frontrunner, ranking fourth in single-day vaccine uptake and administering a staggering 2.7 million vaccinations in a single day. Dr. Atienza shared this remarkable achievement at the roundtable panel discussion, underscoring the nation's unwavering commitment to public health. Buoyed by this success, the Vaccine Solidarity Movement (VSM) is now spearheading efforts to combat dengue and other vaccine-preventable diseases, further solidifying their dedication to safeguarding the well-being of the public especially for the children.</p><p>"We have to turn up the same fervor that we turned on during the COVID pandemic and we have to right now rally behind the objective of the DOH. 95% coverage," echoed Maclang. </p><p>In the face of emerging promising solutions, it is imperative for the nation to fully utilize its arsenal against dengue before the next health crisis emerges and poses a threat to our children. The urgency to take action today is crucial to safeguarding the well-being of future generations. </p>Kathy Balmoreshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04521736763389163485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949086196521623904.post-24093475690709604432024-02-26T21:16:00.005+08:002024-02-26T21:16:57.004+08:00The New Mama’s Ultimate Checklist of Hospital Bag Items and Where to Find Them<p>After months of eager anticipation, the moment has finally arrived!

He shared that he was hesitant at first to edit photos on a smartphone because he was used to editing photos on his laptop.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmWJocLVhfABU47Xr9942x6i2DbyF4X7szNKoE90lvpQlJNuprxYTXeKzmyiXSefpbVUuMSjXz6GFfklwW4ZXTI0N33yiTO4a2CBJqg4IT6BVdO7Xw6UHU6XCOrazvV0_ofImNyOaeVD06PZ9hdFragoaK3NPeKqWvaSg7stV1wc3iQc4Bod5MEAKTYWE/s4512/CELEBRITY%20photographers%20Dookie%20Ducay%20and%20Andrei%20Suleik%20at%20the%20Smart%20Postpaid%20Series%20event..jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3008" data-original-width="4512" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmWJocLVhfABU47Xr9942x6i2DbyF4X7szNKoE90lvpQlJNuprxYTXeKzmyiXSefpbVUuMSjXz6GFfklwW4ZXTI0N33yiTO4a2CBJqg4IT6BVdO7Xw6UHU6XCOrazvV0_ofImNyOaeVD06PZ9hdFragoaK3NPeKqWvaSg7stV1wc3iQc4Bod5MEAKTYWE/w640-h426/CELEBRITY%20photographers%20Dookie%20Ducay%20and%20Andrei%20Suleik%20at%20the%20Smart%20Postpaid%20Series%20event..jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>“But now that it has Generative Edit and Edit Suggestions, it automatically analyzes the photos that you took and edits it in like two seconds,” he said. “It makes it vibrant; it gives it more life.</p><p>He also likes to use the Remaster feature. “From this one, it looks a bit pale,” Suleik said showing the original image. “But after remastering, now it looks vibrant. Actually, it looks like a painting to me!”</p><p>Ducay, who has made a mark in fashion photography and advertising, shared that his favorite AI feature on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the Live Translate. “When we went to Anilao [for a photo shoot], there were a lot of Japanese and I actually used it while chit-chatting with them,” he said.</p><p>He also demonstrated how easy it was to edit out people from the photo of a car he took, using the Object Eraser feature. “I’ll just pick the Object Eraser and then encircle the people I want out of the photo and then, for a few seconds, ayan, ‘diba, [they’re gone] - it’s seamless,” he said. Ducay also noticed that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra’s processor is very fast, which is perfect for photographers on the go.</p><p>On the hardware side, he is fond of Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra’s camera lens with 5x optical zoom, which is close to what he uses in professional work.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAk8C_HnT8BE6AIGQGXcedxjJhevny8uQQhmfDf9-gSZrXKBfzYRq7VLRVKooxvrp5bmdwDcpCiKWvjkviX4XdTpPTaLACM9RNIqJqKga5M62zxImc-T3RZf_DMekl4wSsagbMvghxj-XCsz8ArH0PWPQMrjumJILWenvJjR3H8Ct1oVWEtd8VK484mvc/s4512/RICHARD%20MATHEW%20'SHING'%20DIMAGIBA,%20VP%20and%20Head%20of%20Smart%20Postpaid..jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="3008" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAk8C_HnT8BE6AIGQGXcedxjJhevny8uQQhmfDf9-gSZrXKBfzYRq7VLRVKooxvrp5bmdwDcpCiKWvjkviX4XdTpPTaLACM9RNIqJqKga5M62zxImc-T3RZf_DMekl4wSsagbMvghxj-XCsz8ArH0PWPQMrjumJILWenvJjR3H8Ct1oVWEtd8VK484mvc/w426-h640/RICHARD%20MATHEW%20'SHING'%20DIMAGIBA,%20VP%20and%20Head%20of%20Smart%20Postpaid..jpg" width="426" /></a></div><p><b>Pro tips for mobile photography</b></p><p>But while AI in mobile photography has somewhat changed the game and made it easier for hobbyists, this serves as a tool to complement one’s eye for good images and skills in handling subjects.</p><p>“Top one is ‘capturing emotions’, second is ‘light your background’, third is the editing part,” Suleik said when asked for tips on how to get good photos. He added that one should just take as many photos as they can and “see what looks nice.”</p><p>“Don’t get pressured to take photos and try to be perfect. It will take time but it’s always up to you, whatever your style is,” he added.</p><p>Ducay echoed Suleik’s tip, “Shoot as many photos as you can because eventually it will train your eyes and you will get better.”</p><p>He also shared two practical tips for beginners: “Don’t stand.
