Start by looking after your blood health to help keep your immune system at its peak

It is in great times of uncertainties where the Filipino resilience has always triumphed. The world is made witness that even in the face of tragedies and calamities, Filipinos will endure with big smiles on their faces — and this is what inspired Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) to create an anthem that would resonate to this unfailing spirit.



 

‘Dugo’y Pagtibayin’ by Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) is a reminder to Filipinos that it is through our individual hope and strength that makes the collective power to rise amid this most trying time. Through the power of music to soothe the soul and with no less than Sarah Geronimo behind the song, this gives the melody a deeper meaning of how this nation can keep moving forward dahil sa lakas ng Dugong Pinoy.


“Sulong dugong Pinoy, pagtibayin ang dugo natin.”

 

Sarah is a believer of the power of music to uplift spirits, “For me, mahalaga ang music lalo na ngayon na may pinagdadaanan tayo. Music is very powerful, it’s the language of our soul... Iba yung nagagawa niyang pang-boost ng morale.”

 

With her soulful performance of the song, Sarah brings to life the meaning of dugong Pinoy with her every lyric that shows how a nation’s strength is fueled by Filipinos who do not get weakened nor get tired easily.

 

“Nung nalaman ko po na gagawa ako ng bagong kanta for Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+), I got excited. I know that it is going to be meaningful,” shares Sarah Geronimo.

 

Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) put together this LSS-worthy and inspiring music video with the goal that as Filipinos start to go out of their houses more to serve their families and the nation, the more that they need to keep their blood health in check as one of the ways to keep the body healthy.

 

Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) asks the nation, “Do you know how to maintain your blood health?”

 

The ‘Dugo’y Pagtibayin’ music video raises the awareness on maintaining healthy blood to help keep immunity at its peak. Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) takes the action to educate more Filipinos to take charge of their health by sharing these three ways on how to maintain one’s blood health:

 

1.     Exercise regularly. Among the many benefits of exercising, when it comes to blood health, any exercise that can get the blood pumping even as simple as walking, is already beneficial to the body. The more the body moves, the more blood will be pumped around it. Good blood circulation helps the cells of immune system to move freely so they can function efficiently.1

 

2.     Manage your stress. Experiencing constant anxiety and stress can affect blood circulation. However, with the looming uncertainties brought upon by the current situation,

1 How to boost your Immune System’, Harvard Health Publishing, https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/how-to-boost-your-immune-system 

it is inevitable to feel stressed – but this can be managed. Stress buster activities and behaviors like yoga, meditation, listening to music, or safely spending time with the people you care about can help you feel calmer and more in control of your life. 2 Managing your stress better is one way to help improve your blood flow. 

3.     Taking Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+). 3 If you’re running on a hectic routine whether you’re just at home or out for work, taking Multivitamins significantly helps when the food you eat isn’t able to provide your body the nutrients and minerals it needs.

 Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) contains vitamins and minerals that helps to replenish iron stores and increases red blood cell levels in the body. 4

 

Recommended intake is one to two capsules daily, during or after meals, or as prescribed by your doctor.

Being proud to have a Dugong Pinoy means that you take charge of your overall health. Start by looking after your blood health to help keep your immune system at its peak. 5

How to rebuild and transform economies post COVID-19 while confronting the climate crisis?



The virtual conference held on 20th January 2021, organized by ELEVATE in partnership with Huawei, served as a platform for framing the green recovery in Asia. Speakers shared their insights about the recent government plans, commitments and measures towards more inclusive and green economies. 

 

How to rebuild and transform economies post COVID-19 while confronting the climate crisis? The pandemic reminded us of the impact humanity has had on the environment, making green recovery essential. Cleaner air quality and effective waste management can help generate economic growth, while improving resilience of communities to global pandemics. Digital technologies also have the ability to reduce energy consumption and emissions across a number of industries, from the use of big data to IoT solutions, and can empower renewable energies via the use of AI solutions. 

 

Asia Pacific, excluding China, comprises nearly half of the world’s population and about 25% of the world’s GDP in 2019, which exhibits a collective appeal for new ICT infrastructure, an integrated approach to sustainable and inclusive development, and renewed optimism for green economic models.

 

“We firmly believe that technology must be used for the good of the planet, our one and only home.”, said Catherine Chen, Huawei Corporate Senior Vice President and Director of the Board. She emphasized the importance of tackling climate change and highlighted Huawei’s contribution to reducing carbon emissions, pursuing new renewable energy resources, and supporting circular economy through green ICT solutions. “I am fully confident in not only our ability to drive technology forward, but also in the global community's ability and determination to build a harmonious relationship with nature.”, she stated.

 

In order to align with the Paris Agreement support the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Huawei commits to minimizing its environmental impact in production, operations, and throughout the lifecycles of its products and services. As a part of our commitment to innovative technology for a better planet, we aim to save resources and drive industries to build a low-carbon society. 

 

The event featured speakers from Governments and International organizations from the Asia Pacific region, including: Dr. Vong Sok, Head of the Environment Division and Assistant Director of Sustainable Development Director at the ASEAN Secretariat, Mr. Yeon-chul Yoo, Ambassador for Climate Change at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea, Asad Naqvi, the Head of Secretariat of the Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE-UNEP), Ma Aimin, Deputy Director of the National Center for Climate Change Strategy and International Cooperation at the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People’s Republic of China, Hyoeun Jenny Kim, Deputy Director-General of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) and Meng Liu, Head of Asia Pacific Networks at the United Nations Global Compact.

 

“The event clearly articulated the challenges and opportunities of a post-COVID recovery consistent with the pressing demands of climate change and other environmental imperatives. It envisaged a green growth agenda being possible through committed partnerships between governments, businesses and civil society organizations.”, said 
Richard Welford, Senior Advisor at ELEVATE.
