and while inflight through the Change for Good donation bags.  

 

“We are optimistic that everyone will travel again and embrace the new normal. And we are happy to resume the Change for Good program inflight so we can continue raising funds for children through our partnership with UNICEF,” said Lance Gokongwei, President & CEO of Cebu Pacific Air. 

 

 “Thanks to Cebu Pacific’s initiative during the pandemic, we were still able to raise funds for children by launching Change for Good online. All proceeds go to children where and when they need it the most, such as those affected by the Typhoon Odette emergency. Now that travel has restarted and passengers can donate on board, we hope to raise even more funds, especially for children affected by emergencies,” said Oyunsaikhan Dendevnerov, Country Representative, UNICEF Philippines.

More than two years into the pandemic and with Typhoon Odette devastating many parts of the country, vulnerable children’s access to their basic rights remain at risk. Through the support of generous partners such as Cebu Pacific, UNICEF continues to work in typhoon-affected areas to restore access to essential health, nutrition, water, sanitation, hygiene, education, and child protection services, primarily focusing on the most affected and vulnerable children and women. Every donation from individuals, companies and organizations go to support UNICEF’s development and emergency programs for children.

Listen to children’s experiences of COVID-19 - UNICEF

In commemoration of World Children’s Day on November 20, UNICEF is amplifying the voices of many Filipino children experiencing various threats to the fulfilment of their rights and urges the Philippine government and society to listen to their concerns.    This year’s anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most widely ratified human rights treaty in the world, takes place during one of the most challenging moments for the fulfilment of children’s rights in the Philippines. The COVID-19 pandemic, combined with a threatening typhoon season, have upended thousands of children’s lives and has left many more children uncertain about their future.    Children face a trifecta of threats: direct consequences of the disease itself, interruption in essential services and increasing poverty and inequality.   A UNICEF report, Averting a Lost COVID Generation, reveals data from different countries of the dire and growing consequences for children as the pandemic drags on. Children’s and adolescents’ mental health has suffered during the pandemic. Globally, the number of children living in multidimensional poverty –without access to education, health, housing, nutrition, sanitation, or water is estimated to have soared to a 15 per cent increase, an additional 150 million children by mid-2020. To address these, UNICEF recommends a Six Point Action Plan that calls on governments and partners to prioritize children’s needs:    1.      Ensure all children learn, including by closing the digital divide.  2.      Guarantee access to health and nutrition services and make vaccines affordable and available to every child.  3.      Support and protect the mental health of children and young people and bring an end to abuse, gender-based violence and neglect in childhood.  4.      Increase access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene and address environmental degradation and climate change  5.      Reverse the rise in child poverty and ensure an inclusive recovery for all; and  6.      Redouble efforts to protect and support children and their families living through conflict, disaster and displacement.   “We must listen to children and young people now, working with them to secure a better future,” UNICEF Philippines Representative Oyunsaikhan Dendevnorov says. “In the years to come, children and young people will be living with the impact of this pandemic and with the consequence of how we choose to respond. They must have a say in the decisions that will affect their future.”   UNICEF social media channels are highlighting the voices of young people like Vanessa, 21 years old, who are speaking up about their experiences, needs, and their aspirations for the future.     “Right now, children need to be reassured that they will be safe and that there is a brighter tomorrow. They need to be supported, as they try to adjust to these changes brought about by this pandemic at a pace that they are comfortable in. They need to be secured, be kept safe and protected from all the threats that are heightened during this time,” she says.    "I have the right to learn and make my dreams come true. I want to be a doctor and heal the sick and save lives. I dedicate my life to Bangsamoro children. We all have the right to dream," Bai Aleyah Limba, 10 years old from Cotabato City, shares.    On November 20, UNICEF Philippines calls upon children and youth to raise their voices and calls upon adults to listen to them and commit to acting on their concerns.    “Today, together with my fellow National Goodwill Ambassadors Anne Curtis and Daphne Oseña-Paez, I join the children and young people of the Philippines in reimagining a better world for every child. A world where they are healthy, educated, safe, and protected. A world where they enjoy all of their rights. Let’s make this reimagined world a reality for every child,” UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Gary Valenciano says.

How Online Learning Boosts Students’ Well-Being at Home

Due to the enhanced community quarantine in many parts of the Philippines, schools are faced with closures and cancelled activities. In a report, UNICEF cited that “almost 90 per cent or 1.5 billion of the world’s students are now affected by nationwide school closures due to the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19).”

This has impacted the lives of children and teachers in such a way that their learning and teaching methods have shifted online. Families have embraced online learning to ensure that children continue their education at home and parents’ role has become central to this. But how can parents, teachers and students manage this new normal? 

1.     Create better relationships at home by having a study-play balanced lifestyle. 

Parents play a central role to a student’s education. Now more than ever, this is the best time a well for parents to maximize their bonding activities with their children by making them a learning experience as well. According to UNICEF, the school shutdown is a “chance to make better relationship with children.” UNICEF encourages parents to have one-on-one time with children and create flexible but consistent daily routines with them. This will also help children to create a balance between studying and playing at home, and not to feel stressed or pressured by the home-school situation. 

UNICEF also encourages parents to spend at least 20 minutes or longer in a day with children at home. Have some family games, cook meals, go on virtual museum tours, or watch your favorite streaming series and movies together. It helps children to feel loved, safe, and secured at home during this uncertain period.   

2.     Explore digital tools for teaching.  

School time can be fun as it helps children grow their social skills. Online learning has disrupted the traditional way of teaching and social interaction between teachers and students. It has, however, presented opportunities for teachers to explore different teaching methods such as online journals, audio books, video conferences or live class sessions. 

With so many things happening out there, we don’t want the children to remember this time as boring or isolating. Teachers can bring the outside world to the students at home by encouraging them to read books, watch educational videos, be social by continuously interacting with schoolmates and teachers online, and continue learning at home. 

3.     Engage with creative learning activities at home. 

Welcome distractions at home. This is the best time for students to enjoy their creative freedom while learning new skills. Let them find helpful distractions especially when they need relief from their school work. 

There are many creatives ways to learn online to make the experience more interesting and effective for parents and kids. Your kids may enhance their skills such as cooking, arts and crafts, singing or playing musical instruments. You can also encourage them to help you stitch homemade face masks or protective face shield that can be donated to the community and frontliners. This will help children understand better the situation that they are in.

4.     Teach them the value of kindness.

During this unprecedented time, we hear an increasing emphasis on the importance of obedience, respect, sharing, and kindness for our fellow citizens. This is the time when we reflect on other people’s needs and find ways to help. Being kind to others is a sure way to boost our moral and well-being. 

Children are pure-hearted, and their kindness comes in many forms. It is important now to give your kids meaningful ways to spread their kindness. You can encourage them to do simple acts of kindness such as checking in on their friends or talking to their elderly relatives to boost their mood while in isolation, helping on donation drives, or sending encouraging letters, drawings, or videos through e-mail for the COVID-19 frontliners.

Cebu Pacific and UNICEF partners for vital child health and nutrition campaign

Now, flying with Cebu Pacific will not only take travelers to the best destinations here and abroad, it will also bring much-needed health and nutrition to infants and young children.

Cebu Pacific (PSE:CEB), the Philippines’ leading airline, and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) have partnered to introduce the Change for Good program in the country. CEB is the Change for Good launch partner in Southeast Asia.

“Change for Good is an extraordinary opportunity to help lay the foundation for the Philippines’ future. The team looks forward to working hand in hand with our guests in making a difference in many children’s lives,” said Lance Gokongwei, Cebu Pacific President and CEO.

Change for Good is an innovative global partnership between UNICEF and the international airline industry. Established in 1987, the program is designed to collect donations from passengers and convert these into life-saving materials and services for vulnerable children in more than 150 countries around the world.

Change for Good will initially be implemented from CEB’s Manila hub starting July 1, before being rolled out across its other Philippine hubs.

“We are very thankful to Cebu Pacific for empowering its thousands of everyday passengers to contribute through their own small way, towards helping provide health and wellness to children in the most at-risk communities,” said Lotta Sylwander, UNICEF Philippines country representative.

During mid-flight, after the Fun Games, CEB cabin crew will invite passengers to make a donation to help fund UNICEF’s 1,000 Days Health and Nutrition program.

The program aims to provide optimal health and nutrition in the first 1,000 days of a Filipino child, from a mother’s pregnancy to the child’s second year of life. Safeguarding the health and nutrition of children during this critical window will ensure that they are protected from life-threatening childhood diseases, that they finish more years of school, and even earn up to 50% more as adults.

CEB, which marked its 20th year of operations this year, chose UNICEF’s First 1,000 Days Health and Nutrition program as the beneficiary of its Change for Good partnership.The first1,000 days of a child are crucial to physical and mental growth and is the foundation of the child’s ability to grow, learn and earn later in life.

UNICEF is mobilising an urgent response to meet the needs of children affected by the earthquake in Nepal on 25 April. With children accounting for half the country's population, UNICEF fears the disaster, which is reported to have already killed thousands of people, will have a severe impact on children. UNICEF has prepositioned supplies, including water purification tablets, hygiene kits, tarpaulins and nutrition supplies, and is working with government and other partners to meet children’s immediate needs in the areas of water and sanitation, child protection, health and nutrition.

UNICEF prepares for Super Typhoon Maysak/Chedeng

Super Typhoon Maysak (local name Chedeng) has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility and is expected to make a landfall on the eastern coasts of Luzon over the weekend.

According to latest reports from PAGASA, the country’s weather bureau, Maysak has maximum sustained winds of 175 km/h and gusts of up to 210 km/h making it a Category 2 typhoon. This typhoon has slightly slowed down from its previously recorded sustained winds of 215 km/h.

Latest estimates forecast Maysak’s landfall on the eastern coasts of Aurora and Isabela provinces in the evening of 5 April (Sunday). Residences particularly in the said provinces are warned to be ready to evacuate as moderate to heavy rainfall may trigger flashfloods and landslides.

The Philippine government has also issued a warning against possible storm surges of up to four metres on the eastern coastal areas of Samar and Bicol regions, as well as in Aurora and Quezon provinces.

“UNICEF is ready to support the government with pre-positioned emergency supplies from our local warehouses in Manila, Tacloban, and Cotabato once the emergency hits. In times of disasters, children face the risk of disease outbreaks, malnutrition, violence and disrupted education. Our priority is to ensure that children and their rights and welfare are protected before and after disasters,” said Lotta Sylwander, UNICEF Philippines Representative.

UNICEF has pre-positioned essential supplies that include water kits, hygiene kits, water purification units, school tents, student and teacher materials, child friendly space tents, medical supplies, nutritional therapeutic food items to combat malnutrition, oral rehydration salts, tarpaulins and generators enough for at least 10,000 families.

UNICEF has staff on standby ready to be deployed in rapid assessments as soon as it is safe to travel. UNICEF, with the Philippine government, co-leads the joint response in the areas of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Nutrition and Child Protection.

Pilipinas Shell Partners with Domex For Clean Toilets

Unilever and Shell improve toilet sanitation for the comfort 
of Holy Week travelers

The dirtiest part of every home is the toilet, it is where all the germs and illness-causing bacteria resides.  Every time you flush with an open lid, bacteria spray into the air around your toilet. And some of these germs could pass along symptoms of diarrhea or vomiting. To prevent bacteria from spreading, we should use a disinfectant like Domex which kills 99.9% of the germs on your toilet bowl rim and lids, and always keep the lid closed The study found that this reduced the spread of bacteria by 10 times. Make sure to wash your hands after using the toilet.

The summer season heralds the start of an annual tradition among thousands of Filipino families – traveling to the provinces in observance of Holy Week. In preparation for this, Unilever Philippines, through leading toilet cleaner brand Domex, has partnered with Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation to provide motorists and travelers heading north and south of Luzon access to clean, hygienic toilets for their comfort during the yearly exodus.


Leading the clean-up is Unilever Philippines Marketing Director for Home Care Jay Go and Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Vice President for Retail Anthony Lawrence Yam. North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) Shell stations will experience Domex clean-ups beginning April 10.


“This coming Holy Week, when you gas up at Shell and take a break, you can expect smarter products and quality service at our stations,” says Yam.

“Everyone deserves a good toilet break during the long Holy Week journeys. With our cleanup drive, we at Unilever and our friends at Shell would like to assure the public of sanitized comfort rooms as they rest and recharge for their trip,” says Go.

Traveling during peak seasons introduces heightened risks of acquiring diseases, and some of the possible sources are poorly sanitized public restrooms that travelers may use along the way. Gas stations along major roads become the necessary stop-over points for commuters and private motorists, resulting in the crowded and busy use of comfort rooms and other facilities.

The cleanup drive is part of the 1 Million Clean Toilets program, an advocacy of Unilever through Domex to empower and inspire Filipinos to properly clean their own toilets with the right product in an effort to reduce incidences of disease that are related to lack of proper toilet sanitation. The program is set to culminate in November with the World Toilet Day celebrations.

With this, Unilever Philippines is providing six (6) months worth of Domex products for proper toilet sanitation of selected Shell gas stations. In support of the 1 Million Clean Toilets advocacy, Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation submits their corporate pledge for clean toilets and continue to execute proper toilet sanitation throughout the year.

Everyone is encouraged to join the 1 Million Clean Toilets campaign by pledging for clean toilets. Simply visit the Facebook fan page (www.facebook.com/DomexPhilippines), like the page and click the “Pledge Here” button below the cover photo. For every pledge received, Unilever Philippines donates P5 to UNICEF’s Sanitation program which helps thousands of people get improved access to basic sanitation.

Domex and its 1 Million Clean Toilets

Toilet sanitation: A major health hurdle in the Philippines

If having a clean toilet is a sign of a progressive country, we have some serious cleaning up to do. In other countries, that I have been to, I always ended up to some pristine clean white comfort rooms, not to mention that they smelled divine too, and that is a public toilet for you. In here, in order to access clean toilet with some tissue, hand lotion, rubbing alcohol and a hand sanitizer you have to shell out php10 or php20 to do your deed. Who would have to use a stinky toilet, its a breeding ground for bacteria and diseases like diarrhea, influenza, hepatitis A and even STD's.

The best thing that we can do is always bring a packet of wet wipes and a hand sanitizer in going to the public comfort room. In lieu with this, Domex has partnered with UNICEF and the Philippine Public Health Association (PPHA) to advocate the 1 Million Clean Toilets Movement, a campaign that educates the public on the health impacts of germ-free toilets and secures one million pledges from households, government agencies and private corporations to conscientiously maintain clean, safe, and hygienic bathrooms.

L-R: Ms. Malou Orezca (Board of Director-Phil. Public Health), Dr.Mike Gnilo (UNICEF’S Water, Sanitation & Hygiene Specialist), Mr. Chito Macapagal (Vice President for Corp. Affairs), and Mr. Jay Go (Marketing Director for UNILEVER Home Care)

A joint monitoring report by the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) and World Health Organization reveals that 26% of Filipino households do not have toilets. UNICEF WASH Specialist Dr. Mike Gnilo said it is imperative to address the country’s lack of clean toilets. “More than 8% of these households practice open defecation which threatens water resources. In some communities, toilets are also shared by more than a dozen families which make them harder to maintain.”

To compound the problem, over 90% of households do not practice proper toilet hygiene and sanitation. Many residents and sanitation managers clean toilets using only detergents and thin bleaches which do not kill disease-spreading germs.

“A number of the country’s public toilets are in need of cleaning and maintenance. These include inaccessible restrooms in parks, museums, commercial centers and tourist destinations,” said PPHA Director Maluh Orezca during a Bulong Pulungan media forum at Hotel Sofitel in Pasay City.

“We at Domex believe that prompt action against diarrheal diseases, unclean toilets and unsanitary toilet practices can significantly decrease health risks and improve lives,” said Jay Go, marketing director for Unilever Home Care, noting that in the Philippines, more than 2,000 children under five die annually from diarrhea as a result of germ-infested toilets that contaminate water resources.

To raise awareness on diarrheal diseases and their prevention, Domex will conduct activities throughout the year to educate and train households on proper toilet sanitation. These will also show the advantages of using a dedicated toilet-cleaning agent such as Domex in disinfecting the toilet and preventing the spread of disease-causing germs.

Full force against diarrheal diseases
In line with the objectives of its 1 Million Clean Toilets Movement, Domex partners with establishments for massive cleanup and information drives. Kicking off the campaign is a series of restroom cleanup activities at Shell NLEX/SLEX stations throughout the Holy Week and summer months, a tie-up with major hospitals such as Jose Rodriguez Memorial Hospital for information dissemination and other activities, as well as partnerships with dining establishments to further reinforce their commitment to public health through proper toilet sanitation.

Along with the cleanup rounds, Domex will educate the public on ways to clean their household toilet properly through various media platforms. These will serve as references for those who are interested to learn about the fight against diarrheal diseases.

These activities will culminate with the World Toilet Day celebrations in November where Domex hopes to garner 1 million clean toilet pledges from households, government agencies and private institutions. Unilever Philippines hopes to add this number to their envisioned 1 Billion Better Lives by 2020, in their thrust to create improved, sustainable living around the globe.

If you want to take part on DOMEX’s pledge on Facebook, every click DOMEX will donate P5.00 contribution to UNICEF’S sanitation program.

Join the Nurture Run: Keeping It Real on Breastfeeding Awareness

Did you know that colostrum in breast milk, which is yellowish and creamy in color, is high in protein, fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and immunoglobulins.  These are antibodies that pass from the mother to the baby and provide passive immunity for the baby, and protects the baby from a wide variety of bacterial and viral illnesses. With that, Breastmilk is still best for babies, in keeping with the thrust to promote, support and protect the rights of the breastfeeding mother and child. Beauty, Brains and Breastfeeding is organizing the Nurture Run, one of the biggest breastfeeding awareness initiatives in the country to date.

Ms. Iza Abeja, Executive Director of Beauty, Brains and Breastfeeding, shares that proceeds of the Nurture Run will go to mobilizing skilled counselors, sustaining mommy groups and organizing breastfeeding awareness activities as well as supporting Milk Banks through Milk Letting Days.

Ms. Iza Abeja (Beauty, Brains and Breastfeeding Executive Director)

Join the “Nurture Run: Awareness for breastfeeding during Emergency and in the workplace” — on April 13, 2014 at Quezon Memorial Circle, to promote, support and protect the rights of the breastfeeding mother and child.
