With Derucci, discover the true benefits of luxury with a sleep system that’s designed specifically for you

I always believe that in order to be productive for the day. You should sleep at least 8 hours a night, no more no less.

If I didnt get to sleep better at night. You'll find me cranky and irritable the next day. Its always like that. That's why sleep is precious to me, in my age at this time.  If you've noticed yourself becoming forgetful, it might be worth thinking back to how much sleep you've had recently. So better have a deep good sleep to start the day right.

That's why before resting at night I take my shower. Light a scented aromatheraphy candle. Remove all my gadgets,  out of my reach.

Recently I just invest in a good bed with mattress and partner it with a good pillow. It helps me lull to sleep and relax.

Derucci recently launches luxury beds, mattresses and pillows last May 4 at De Rucci The Teoff Centre, Binondo. The event was attended by celebrity endorser Ms. Kim Chiu together with De Rucci executives.

Derucci, the leader in healthy sleep systems, proudly opens in the Philippines with brand ambassador Kim Chiu and Derucci principals including David Shi, General Manager of Derucci Overseas Holdings Ltd. at the Manila Hotel, for their launch party.

With its flagship store located at the heart of Old Manila, the original premier shopping district, Derucci more easily caters to its discerning clientele.

“Derucci is committed to providing our customers with comfortable yet contemporary bedroom mattresses and furniture of the highest quality. We spend more than 1/3 of our lives sleeping, so why shouldn’t we prioritize getting ourselves a bed that’ll ensure us the best night’s sleep?” says Damien Raymond Ty, Corporate Secretary of Derucci Philippines.  

Kim Chiu adds, “With my hectic schedules, I usually have to sneak in a nap while on the road, and since it’s only a few minutes or hours at a time, it greatly affects my energy and mood for the day. This is why I believe that we should invest in the perfect bed because there’s nothing more important than getting quality sleep. When we sleep, that is when our body recharges and heals itself.”

Do you know someone who have asthma, and what triggers the disease? Asthma has been associated with shortness of breath, coughing and wheezing because of some allergies to pollen, dust, perfume or your pets. The key is to breath normally, moves around and work freely.  If you know someone who suffers from the disease and yet lives a normal life, then its time to vote for them online.


Its anyone you know, your parents, siblings, friends, classmates or neighbors. If they are winning against asthma and accomplished in their respective fields. Its time for them to be recognized.


 The Search for Winners Against Asthma 2015 campaign aims to choose and recognize 10 young asthmatic achievers from different walks of life.

The advocacy likewise introduces Olympic figure skater Michael Christian Martinez as the new face of the campaign. Martinez, an asthmatic, began experiencing asthmatic bronchitis when he was just two months old.


He recalls being in the hospital frequently and says the cold rink actually helped improve his health. “Year after year my health keeps improving, so my mother fully supported me to continue skating saying it's better to spend the money on skating than in the hospital.”

The program is a nationwide search for young asthmatic achievers aged 30 years and younger who are outstanding in their respective fields despite having asthma and inspire asthma sufferers that they, too, can win against asthma.


The rationale for the target age group is driven by the fact that asthma is one of the most important chronic disease during childhood causing substantial morbidity 1.  Uncontrolled asthma is associated with a reduced lung function, impaired performance in physical exercise, and impaired quality of
life.  More severe asthma leads to more frequent school absenteeism which may negatively affect
an individual’s level of education and, possibly, choice of career.  People within this age group are in the process of developing the necessary knowledge and skills that will enable them to achieve
their goals in life and asthma should not deter them from realizing their full potential. Thus it is
necessary at this early stage to raise their awareness on asthma and how they can win against it.

The Search for Winners Against Asthma will run from February until May 2015 and will be touring different schools and drugstore outlets to spread the advocacy and invite more people to join the campaign.

The deadline for submission of entries is on March 31, 2015.  All entries will be screened during the first week of April. As we celebrate World Asthma Day on May 5, the top 20 finalists will be announced and will be immediately followed by online voting.  The top 10 Winners Against Asthma will be announced and awarded by the 3rd week of May 2015.

This advocacy campaign is supported by the Philippine College of Physicians (PCP), Philippine Academy of Family Physicians (PAFP), Philippine Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (PSAAI), Huawei and Folded & Hung.


To prove that the disease should not be a deterrent from living one’s life to the fullest, real asthma patients were invited to provide testimonies of their experiences and how won against the illness. Celebrity asthmatics, Kim Chiu and Arnel Pineda became the featured ambassadors for the first wave of the campaign. Joining the 2015 campaign is Michael Christian Martinez, the Olympic figure skater.
