PLDT Home’s new ad shows how families learn and rediscover what matters

Parents know this: we thought we knew what it meant to be academically responsible for our school-age children. This involves regularly coordinating with children’s teachers in school, providing financial support for their academic requirements, and making sure they participate in extra-curricular activities. This was a system a lot of parents have become attuned to until the COVID-19 pandemic happened.

Since the imposed community quarantine, life at home drastically changed. With the opening of a new school year, parents grapple for ideas on how to systemically operate their households while their children stay at home. As schools send out engaging virtual assignments to students, parents scramble on figuring out how to balance their household chores along with learning how to manage their children’s home-school education. And all these activities entailed embracing a new perspective on active parenting.

While parenting could feel like a thankless job, we get immeasurable fulfillment when we see our children accomplish their dreams in life. But do we really know our children’s true aspirations?

 

The new normal is a pivotal moment for children at home. How parents respond to the changes in their household will greatly affect their children’s lives forever. The prolonged home quarantine allowed parents and children to bond together, get to know more about each other, be involved in one another’s activities, and rediscover their relationship as they spend more time at home.

 

PLDT Home’s latest ad proves that children’s dreams are developed and built at home. In the video, we’ll see a mom preparing snacks for her child who’s home-schooling. Upon approaching her daughter’s room, the mom overheard the kid discussing her aspirations to her teacher through an online class set-up. And the camera pans towards the different household chores and responsibilities that the daughter observed from her parents. In the end, the child reveals her real ambition in life – to be like her parents & to love just like how her parents love her at home.

 

As we navigate this new way of life, we learn how to live under new patterns, build new habits, and create new happy memories with our loved ones. Gone were the “programmed” parenting of the past as we welcome a new “connected” relationship. In this new normal, we rediscover what really matters – our family and home.

Shopee PH partners with Olay for the launch of "Adult Fearlessly" campaign

P&G-owned skincare brand Olay partners with Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, to reach and engage with digital-savvy millennials in Southeast Asia with the launch of the Adult Fearlessly campaign. The refreshed brand campaign will be held exclusively on Shopee,  across six markets, and will run from October 18 to 20 in the Philippines. 

The campaign seeks to empower millennial women in their transition to adulthood by helping them overcome the perceived challenges of ‘adulting’ and invest in making good choices about their skincare needs.

Across the region, digital-savvy millennial consumers (34%) are now more likely to shop online every week (a survey of more than 1,000 consumers in Southeast Asia reveals), as e-commerce becomes a key channel for consumers to meet their daily and lifestyle needs. As such, Olay has witnessed a shift from offline to online sales and wants to connect with more audiences online with this digital-led campaign. 

Building on Olay and Shopee Super Brand Days’ past success, this new campaign will feature a co-created video, “Fearless with your choices,” and exclusive promotions on Olay products to create an engaging online shopping experience.

Olay will feature its signature superior skincare range on its official store on Shopee Mall with up to 45% off on Olay products with a free magnetic wand from October 18-20! It includes Olay POWER DUO, a combination of the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream and Olay White Radiance Light Perfecting Essence that will help achieve firmer, plumper, and more radiant skin from first use. The Power Duo includes powerful and effective ingredients that can visibly transform skin in up to 28 days.

“As a leading skincare brand in the Philippines, we are always focused on how we can best connect with our consumers to provide the superior skincare products they need,” said Lucy Moran, Olay and Personal Care Senior eCommerce Director, Asia Middle East and Africa.

“Digital technology has transformed the shopping experience, and increasingly, young consumers enjoy browsing and purchasing their skincare essentials online. The partnership with Shopee enables Olay to connect with and serve our consumers effectively, offering convenience and the right skincare solution for their busy lifestyle,” adds Moran.

Martin Yu, Associate Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “We're delighted to partner with Olay once again and have the opportunity to collaborate on the campaign video. Health & Beauty is one of the most popular categories in Shopee. We are confident that the Adult Fearlessly campaign will especially resonate with millennial and female Shopee users who enjoy consuming video content, and are purchasing more skincare products online.”

The campaign brings to life being “Fearless with your choices,” which depicts a woman's journey into adulthood, facing the tension between personal desires, societal expectations, and concerns about physical appearances. With the personal and financial independence that comes with maturity – the adulting journey can be made more enjoyable by investing in skincare products of superior quality and good value.  Against this backdrop, Olay seeks to inspire and empower women to make choices fearlessly by highlighting the pluses of being 30.

Sekaya moringa supplement is safe and effective for breastfeeding moms

Superfood moringa or malunggay is well known for being every breastfeeding mom’s best friend – with many consuming moringa as part of their meals or turning to supplements to increase their milk supply. Although moringa has been proven to contain enormous nutritional value and benefits, not all moringa supplements are sourced responsibly or undergo stringent testing, putting moms and their babies at risk of ingesting products that can be harmful to them both. 

 

With the EU-certified 100% organic Sekaya Food Supplements Organic Moringa, mom can have the peace of mind that her breastfeeding supplement can safely and effectively provide the nutritional needs of her body and her baby. The moringa capsules are processed in pharma-grade facilities and have gone through several laboratory tests more stringent than the registration requirements for food supplements to ensure their purity, safety, and efficacy.

With breast milk serving as the main source of nourishment for their babies, moms should be extra conscious of what food they eat or supplements they take. Research suggests that moringa plants are nature’s filters since they absorb and store environmental pollutants, particularly heavy metals and toxins, which may be harmful to our bodies when ingested.

 

As a supplement, a moringa product’s safety is majorly dependent on the source of its raw ingredients, and its effectiveness may be affected by how it is processed. Non-organic, low quality and non-registered moringa supplements may put babies at risk of drinking breast milk contaminated by these pollutants, while losing the nutrients and making them ineffective if not carefully processed.

 

Sekaya Food Supplements Organic Moringa is the only 500mg moringa supplement in the Philippines that is EU-certified organic and 100% locally sourced, which means it has fulfilled strict conditions on how they’re produced, transported, and stored.

 

The first offering under Sekaya Food Supplements, a line of natural food supplements that is designed, formulated, and tested with pharma grade standards and 100% sourced and manufactured in the country, it is made from 100% pure and organic Moringa oleifera leaves powder, and contains no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, soy or wheat. It also has no artificial color, flavor or fragrance

 

Rich in disease-preventing anti-oxidants, essential amino acids, and anti-inflammatory agents, as well as vitamin C, A, calcium, potassium, and protein, moringa is a good complement to mom’s diet. 

 

With the organic, science-based, and pharma-grade Sekaya Food Supplements Organic Moringa, moms are assured that they are provided with ample whole food nutrition they need to keep up with the demands of breastfeeding, while keeping themselves and their babies safe and healthy.  

 

Sekaya Food Supplements Organic Moringa is available in Babymama.ph and Allganic retail stores, and online in Lazada, Zalora andShopee under the S Sentials Store. 

You may also order through the Synnovate Flagship Store in Lazada, or by messaging via Facebook or Instagram, and SMS or Viber at 0917-5SEKAYA (735292).

Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte pays tribute to the sacrifices and perseverance of the city's frontliners during SOCA

Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte on Monday paid tribute to the perseverance and sacrifices of the city’s frontliners and other workers, saying their hard work was instrumental in gaining significant ground in the fight against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

 

“We’ve witnessed incredible heroism from our workers. They resolutely fulfilled their duties even in the face of mortal danger," Belmonte said during her second State of the City Address (SOCA). Stressing that their sacrifices were not in vain as they helped the city improved from No. 3 in the National Capital Region (NCR) in terms of COVID-19 cases per capita to No. 15 out of 17 local governments in Metro Manila.

 

Belmonte also announced that as of Oct. 10, the city’s recovery rate is at 85 percent while positivity rate is down to nine percent from almost 20 percent. “Nang dahil sa sakripisyo ng lahat, unti-unti na nating napapaamo itong halimaw na pandemyang ito.  Nagawa nating proteksyonan ang kalusugan at buhay ng ating mga mamamayan habang sinasangga naman ang dagok sa pangkabuhayan ng bawat isa,” she said.

 

While fighting COVID-19, Belmonte said the city government also took the necessary steps to address the needs of its citizens amid the pandemic. To arm itself with enough resources to fight the pandemic and to provide for the needs of its citizens, the city government passed five supplemental budgets and reprogrammed funding worth over P12 billion.

 

Belmonte said the lion’s share of the fund was utilized to provide financial assistance to residents affected by the pandemic. Through its Kalingang QC program, the City gave P2,000 to each of 607,000 citizens, consisting of PUV drivers, vendors, senior citizens, PWDs, solo parents, lactating mothers, displaced daily wage earners, and other vulnerable sectors.

Belmonte added that the QC Social Amelioration Program has aided more than 177,000 qualified families that were not covered by the SAP of the national government.

 

The City also earmarked around P700 million for the Kalingang QC sa Negosyo Wage Relief Program for micro and small enterprises to ensure that jobs and livelihood are protected.

“We were able to provide for the basic wage of 7,536 employees for both micro and small businesses. First tranche pa lamang ito,” she said.

 

The City also entered into partnerships with Lalamove, Grab, Esetgo and Foodpanda to provide employment as food as logistic drivers and food delivery riders to around 1,135 jeepney and tricycle drivers. “Our market vendors levelled up too by selling their products through Palengkonek and Community Mart,” said Belmonte. 

 

She also said that the city remains focused on implementing its winning strategy to conquer the virus -- test, isolate, trace and treat. “As of October 11, we have administered about 60,166 free PCR swab tests, more than any other LGU,” she said.

 

QC also manufactured two mobile testing units and inaugurated its own molecular laboratory to boost its testing capacity. In closing, Belmonte assured her constituents that she will do everything in her power to give them leadership and a government they richly deserve.
