Take care of yourself and your loved one with Philam Life's Active Joint Critical Protect

Upon learning that Philam Life under Philam Vitality offers a life insurance for two (you and your loved one), the Active Joint Critical Protect. Im thinking of getting one for me and my loved ones. This insurance is good for everyone in the family that you would love to sponsor. Be it your husband, your kid, sibling or your mother/father. We can never tell what may happen in the future. So its time to vouch for everyone's safety and future by gifting them this policy.

Philam Life recently launched the Active Joint Critical Protect last Sept 13 at Le Petit Souffle, Century Mall.  Philam Life Brand Ambassadors Solenn Heussaff, Nico Bolzico and Mond Gutierrez along with Philam Life executives graced the event.

Philam Life, in its understanding of its customers’ need to care for themselves and their loved ones, recently launched Active Joint Critical Protect, a health and life insurance for two that allows them to jointly safeguard themselves and a loved one—be it spouse, parent, sibling or child—against serious
diseases or untoward events.

Powered by Philam Vitality, it also encourages healthy living by giving
incentives for knowing and improving their health, at the same time boosting the plan coverage by up to 50% as they live healthier.

With Active Joint Critical Protect, they are protected from the most common critical illnesses among Filipinos, including heart attack, stroke, and cancer. After the plan’s standard period of ten years and no claim was made, it automatically renews, making it very convenient for them. Through this product, Filipinos can protect themselves and their loved ones at the same time.

Recently launched with Philam Life Brand Ambassadors Solenn Heussaff, Nico Bolzico and Mond Gutierrez, the latest product from Philam Life allows Filipinos to care for their loved ones in the best possible way—by preparing them  against future health concerns and protecting them if something
untoward happens.

“Chard, being my twin, is the closest, most important person in the world to me. And I if there’s any way I can take care of him then I will,” said Mond.

“I love my mom and there’s not much I can do for her at this stage. But with this new product from Philam Life, I can do my part to make her worry less about getting sick in the future,” affirmed Solenn.

Nico added, “I don’t have to tell you guys how much I love my wife. And while there are millions of ways that I’ve shown this, preparing for the unforeseen future makes me breathe easier every single day.”

McJim’s “Pitaka” (The Wallet), “Sinturon” (Belt), and “Bag” have been selected to compete in a total of 22 prestigious film festivals

True to its enduring values of quality, style, and elegance, trusted leather goods brand McJim Classic Leather is unstoppable as it continues to gain international recognition for its troika of masterfully produced short films under its “Get Reel” online campaign, just over a year after its debut video, “Pitaka,” made waves in the internet.

 Director and PR entrepreneur Chris Cahilig attributes the success of McJim’s short films to the brand’s adherence to its timeless philosophy of quality, style, and elegance.



McJim’s “Pitaka” (The Wallet), “Sinturon” (Belt), and “Bag” have been selected to complete in a total of 22 prestigious film festivals—as of this writing—in the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Australia, Mexico, and Venezuela, a record-breaking feat for a commercial brand.

“Pitaka,” the first of the three short films, was recently chosen as finalist in the 2018 Wales International Film Festival and received nomination for an award on October 4.



Chris Cahilig, the director and executive producer of the three short films, said that the successive recognitions that the McJim viral videos has been getting abroad is proof that even branded shorts can be at par with the quality of commercially produced films.

“With its advocacy of delivering superior quality to its consumers, McJim is able to prove that it can produce not only world-class leather goods but also world-class films that are able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the international market. This is because the brand has always faithfully adhered to its timeless philosophy of style, quality, and elegance,” says Cahilig.

“McJim remains committed to bring out the best of the Filipino before the world. The numerous recognitions that its short films are getting are proof that the brand has been successful in carrying out this goal,” he notes.

Karl Medina and Art Artienda breathe life into “Pitaka’s” strong and relatable narrative, which extols Filipino family values of sacrifice and perseverance


Apart from the Wales International Film Fest, “Pitaka” was earlier selected to participate in international film festivals in Italy and the US, namely San Mauro Torinese International Film Festival 2018; Cefalu Film Festival in Palermo; Diwa Filipino Film Showcase of Seattle 2018; Culture of Life Film Festival 2018 in Memphis City; 2019 Dramatic Shorts Film Festival in Denver; and Los Angeles CineFest 2019.

“Pitaka” depicts fraternal love and the Filipino elders’ sense of responsibility as exemplified by Kuya, portrayed in the film by Karl Medina, who sets aside his personal dreams to provide for his younger brother, a character played by 1:43’s Art Artienda.

Following in the wake of “Pitaka” is the quirkier and more daring “Sinturon” (The Belt), which tackles marital fidelity and features Mercedes Cabral and Kiko Matos. “Sinturon” made it to three international film fests, namely Nebrody Film Fest and Corti A Sud-Polla In Corto in Italy, and Love Shorts Film Festival 2019 in the US.

“Bag” starring Ross Pesigan and Wayne Avellano earns praises for its honest and straightforward portrayal of gay-straight friendships.



The LGBT-themed “Bag,” the last of the three short films, snagged 12 official selections for McJim in international film festivals for its honest portrayal of a gay-straight friendship. It follows the story of an openly gay young professional Paolo (Ross Pesigan), who, after a series of bad breakups, finds comfort and refuge in his straight best friend Carlo (Wayne Avellano).

“McJim may be a male brand, but it shows its modern and mature view of gender issues through a gay-themed and stereotype-breaking content like ‘Bag.’ What makes McJim’s short films a cut above the rest is how it tackles values and attitudes that build our society as a better and more progressive one,” says Cahilig.

The bold move has definitely paid off as “Bag” is poised to join the following film fests: the First International LGBTQ Coming of Age Short Films Festival, which will be held simultaneously in Paris, France, and San Francisco in September this year; the Los Angeles CineFest 2019; the 2018 LGBTQ Shorts Film Festival; the International Shorts Film Festival (Australia) 2018; Outflix Film Festival 2018 in Memphis; QUEER-Streifen Regensburg 2018 in Germany; Shorts Mexico 2018, the largest international shorts film fest in Latin America; 

Five Continents International Film Festival 2018 in Venezuela; OutReels Cincinnati 2018; London International Motion Pictures Awards 2019, Queerbee LGBT Film Festival 2018 in London; and 2019 Dramatic Shorts Film Festival in Denver.

Behind Pitaka’s visually poetic direction of photography is Cesca Lee, known for the films T.P.O., Purgatoryo, and Otso. “Sinturon” and “Bag,” meanwhile, were shot by the equally talented cinematographer Patrick Ferrer. Archie del Mundo wrote the screenplay and was also line producer for the three short films.

For generations now, McJim Classic Leather has been the leading and trusted brand for classic leather goods and accessories of superior quality and design.

"The Hopeful Romantic" review

The movie The Hopeful Romantic reminds me of Regal Films comedy movies in the 90s, with the likes of  Rene Requiestas, Andrew E and a few.  Just because the lead man Pepe Herrera has a slight resemblance to deceased comedian Rene Requiestas and they have the same style of comedy and timing.

The Hopeful Romantic movie is a story of Jess who at his age is still a virgin and is looking for the love of his life. Then he met Veronica, played by Ritz Azul,  at the Hotel Bar where he is an employee. That was when the riot begins.


In the Hopeful Romantic, Pepe plays Jess, a 33 year old Valet Parking Attendant at The Manila Hotel, an honest man and most of all, a virgin. He promised himself that he will only give himself when he already found his true love.

Veronica, (played by Ritz), is a kept woman in the high society world. A victim of circumstances, but still a survivor.

However, there is one problem; Veronica has no idea that he is not rich. Afraid that revealing himself will make him lose Veronica, Jess starts to pretend the part. He kept on doing this until his resources spill away. The inevitable happens, and Veronica learns the truth about Jess.

But one thing that The Hopeful Romantic has going for it is that its movie trailer already went  viral gathering 9.6 million views on Facebook in less than three weeks since it was launched.



If anything, the virality of the trailer to organic Facebook users indicates a positive reception from netizens. As of today, the trailer has now reached 108,000 shares, 14,000 positive comments on Good Time Fan Page.

Ritz, who gets to be launched in this film as a leading lady, beams with pride about this project.

“Sobrang proud ako sa pelikulang ito kasi lahat pinaghirapan namin: ng direktor, producers, writers, at syempre co-actors ko na pinagpuyatan.

Firstly, Ritz, who is more comfortable with drama, ventures into comedy in The Hopeful Romantic.

Secondly, she had to lose weight to effectively portray her role as a sexy gold digger.
“Ang mahirap lang for me, physically, dapat medyo mukhang sexy don sa screen, so nag-struggle din ako to lose weight, kasi sobrang lumaki ako for a while before gawin yung movie.

“And then nahirapan ako kasi sobrang kabaligtaran ko ang role sa totoong buhay. Naging kumportable ako sa mga katrabaho ko, kaya napa-swimsuit ako.”

Meantime, Pepe, who is a very talented singer-actor, finally gets to be a lead star in this film.

The versatile actor takes pride in saying that he gets to explore comedy genre through a sexy movie.

Pepe admits that he felt pressured that he would finally be a leading man in this project.
Fortunately, Ritz made his job easier for him.

“Ang masasabi ko po ay lalaki din ako at nakakaramdam ng karupukam. Si Ritz ay very desirable 110%.”

“Kasi kinabahan ako nung una dahil sinasabihan ako, ‘Leading man ka na, kailangan tutukan mo yung panunuyo o kung paano tratuhin ang leading ladies.’ Parang siya [Ritz] pa yung gumagawa non para sa kin. Cowboy si Ritz. Hindi siya tipikal na leading lady.

The Hopeful Romantic opens September 12, 2018 and is directed by Topel Lee.

Monitor your BP at home with the use of Omron BP tool

I lost my 3 uncles to hypertension with CVA as final diagnosis. Hypertension runs in the family, my father was also diagnosed as hypertensive with maintenance medicines amounting to P7K a month. He was advised for a heart bypass or angioplasty, when he underwent angiogram.  He is 78 y/o, active but right now he has other ailments aside from hypertension. He was against angioplasty, he told that  he might die along in the middle of the operation.

We respect his decision given that he will follow doctor's advice. So he is living the healthy life watching his diet, taking his maintenance medicines with a regular check up. We constantly take his BP every now and then so as to monitor his systolic and diastolic. With the help of OMRON BP tool. It is the only accurate BP apparatus that we've been using for almost a decade now

Omron Healthcare partners with The Philippine Society of Hypertension (PSH) for BPPrecise campaign last Sept 6 at the Shangri-la Edsa Hotel.

Hypertension represents a major burden in Asia and in many parts of the world. This disease comes with a high prevalence rate and, unfortunately, poor levels of awareness and control in many countries. Hypertension is also the leading preventable cause of premature deaths worldwide, afflicting an estimated 1.4 billion people in 2010, and contributing to 10.5 million deaths each year.

By 2030, it is estimated that almost 23.6 million will die from cardiovascular diseases.

In the Philippines, a 2013 study shows that while 75% of patients received treatment for hypertension, only 27% of those achieve adequate BP control. Disparities in hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control rates have increasingly been more evident, with significant rises in hypertension prevalence during the past 30 years.

The Philippine Society of Hypertension (PSH), a 2000 plus-strong association of health providers from various disciplines committed to the diagnosis, management, treatment and prevention of hypertension, has recently partnered with Omron Healthcare in an effort for better guided hypertension treatment.

Bannering the important message of keeping a constant tab on one's blood pressure, this ‘BPPrecise' partnership, is centered on the pursuit of accuracy in home blood pressure monitoring a complementary tool to clinic BP measurements and ambulatory BP monitoring. It can help identify masked hypertension and improve treatment adherence by allowing patients with hypertension and their family members a more active role in the management of the disease.

An organization that is fully dedicated to help realize healthy and comfortable lives for people around the world, Omron Healthcare provides a wide range of health and medical care products for households and professionals. It boasts of creative technologies and equipment that serve as the perfect partner of medical care providers. It has likewise led the way in allowing people to make conscious effort and take necessary measures in preventing heart disease and strokes.

Omron monitoring gadgets are the only clinically validated instruments that are as accurate and reliable measures of blood pressure by the Philippine Society of Hypertension, serving as relevant guides in hypertension treatment.

Their automated BP monitoring devices provide an easier and more convenient way for patients to do their self-measurement compared to the standard mercury sphygmomanometer. And with self-measurement and home monitoring of blood pressure now recommended by most guidelines for BP management, digital BP monitoring devices have become the practical and less-prone-to-error option.

Among these precision instruments is the Omron Blood Pressure HEM-7120, a portable, easy-to-use home BP monitor that comes with many helpful and unique features. It detects irregular heartbeat and records previous measurement Highly recommended by doctors for providing accurate results, it is compact and fully automatic which works on the oscillometric principle to measure blood pressure and pulse rate without fuss. The device comes with an extra-large LCD screen that displays stable and clear numbers, making it easy to read. It uses an advanced lntelliSense technology for comfortable and controlled inflation without the need of pressure pre-setting or re-inflation.

Omron's other popular Blood Pressure Monitor HEM-7130 model is capable of storing 60 sets of readings with their corresponding date and time. It can also provide an average of the last 3 readings taken within the last 10 minutes. It is likewise powered by the Enhanced Intellisense Technology and employs a Body Movement Detector. This feature prompts the user to retake measurement when an error is detected due to the movement of the body during measurement.

Championing the growing acknowledgment from the health and medical industry for the role of home blood pressure monitoring (HBMP) in the management of hypertension, the BPrecise partnership aims to achieve "Zero Events," that is, reducing the incidence of life-threatening diseases such as strokes and heart attacks to zero. This is fully aligned with PHS and Omron Healthcare's mission to considerably improve hypertension outcomes all over the world.
