All Good in the (Oven) Hood

Your oven hood can get funky really quickly, especially if you like to cook a lot. 

To clean it, spray with LivClean Cleaning Vinegar with Calamansi, let sit for at least half an hour, and wipe down with a damp cloth.

LivClean Cleaning Vinegar works well inside your oven as well. Scrub down with a clean sponge, and scoop out any residue that is dislodged. Not only is your oven going to be refreshed and deodorized, no harsh chemicals or their residue will be going anywhere near your food.

The high acidity level of cleaning vinegar helps loosen mineral deposits (such as lime & rust) and dissolve soap scum, making it perfect for bathroom cleaning! And because it is so acidic, it creates a hostile environment for many microorganisms, making it a powerful disinfect as well. 

 

A 1997 study in the Journal of Environmental Health showed that undiluted vinegar was just as effective as bleach in eliminating E. coli from surfaces and sponges. It’s also incredibly effective at deodorizing and cutting grease. 

 

LivClean Cleaning Vinegar with Calamansi is a Filipino product innovation that uses pure calamansi essential oil for added antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties.   

It is safe for heavy duty cleaning, effectively removing a variety of dirt and grime without harsh chemicals. It is also safe enough for your hands and skin, and does not require gloves to use, and has no noxious fumes.

It is safe for use around kids and pets, and is good for the environment, because it is completely biodegradable and natural -- adding no new pollutants to the environment, or to your homes. It’s only natural, start using LivClean. For good.

Why Charlene Muhlach is always grateful for the gift of family

With the pandemic and the uncertainties happening in the world around us, it’s challenging to always stay calm and be positive. Sometimes it can feel hopeless even when you’re trying hard. But one thing stays unchanged: that our families will always be here to guide us, keep us sane and make us feel loved.

 

That’s why Jollibee ambassador Charlene Muhlach expresses a lot of gratitude for her family. Everyone does their part and share to spread good vibes and happiness at home, and she’s especially thankful whenever her family manages to spend time together and bond despite their busy schedules.

“I’m really just a family-oriented person,” Charlene says. “I’m grateful for their love and support for one another, spending time with them and being there for everyone is something I really value,” Charlene says. 

 

One simple way to thank our families for everything that they’ve done is through a hearty family meal. Bonding over delicious food together is always a great idea, as it’s a quick but reliable way to have a feel-good moment with everyone, as tried and tested by the Muhlachs. 

 

The favorite go-to meal their family constantly enjoys is Jollibee’s crispylicious, juicylicious Chickenjoy. “When we want something that will surely be delicious and comforting for a mealtime, of course, the best pa rin ang Jollibee Chickenjoy!” Charlene shares. “Everyone looks for that crispylicious and juicylicious fried chicken talaga! We order a bucket and everyone gets excited, because we’re always thankful to bond over Chickenjoy!”

 

Like the Muhlachs, you too can thank your family at home with a bucket of everyone’s favorite Jollibee Chickenjoy. Have it safely delivered to you via the Jollibee Delivery App, JollibeeDelivery.com, #87000, GrabFood and foodpanda! Also available in Drive-Thru and Take Out.

Durex carries on with its own impactful initiatives under its Protection and Preparedness Education (PPE) campaign

With over a year in lockdown, we find ourselves still in the midst of the pandemic, cautious yet with a glint of optimism with COVID-19 vaccine roll-out. Raising awareness of safe sex and sexually-transmitted diseases has become more relevant as the Philippines currently records 29 cases per day as of January 2021 according to the Department of Health (DOH). The agency has tagged HIV as a continuing public threat, and has called for the continued cooperation and collaboration of all local communities, civil society organizations, key stakeholders, and the government in jointly addressing this pressing matter.

 

As part of its mission to protect Filipinos from the threats of sexually-transmitted diseases such as HIV and AIDS, Durex continues to promote the importance of using proper protection during sexual intercourse through education and awareness programs. Durex carries on with its own impactful initiatives under its Protection and Preparedness Education (PPE) campaign.

Remaining as steadfast and driven as ever this 2021—despite the lingering challenges—Durex pursues its advocacy of raising awareness on the importance of condom use as means to help stop the HIV epidemic and the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the country.

 

“During these times, we cannot afford to let our guard down,” says Matt Davis, Reckitt Philippines Marketing Director. “Just as COVID-19 remains to be of critical importance, so too are STIs and HIV. Durex will continue to do our share as a proactive private sector partner in building awareness and educating the public on the importance of protection.”

Thus, Durex will be continuing its donations to organizations including Love Yourself with which the brand has an ongoing full-year partnership, and the Commission on Population and Development (POPCOM), The Red Whistle, and the United Nation (UN) Women.

This Pride Month, Durex is one with the LGBTQ+ community in expressing and exploring their sex, sexuality, and gender identity with the ‘Wide open to love’ campaign. The campaign is aimed at empowering everyone to accept and celebrate their most authentic self, while recognizing that the continuing HIV epidemic will end by using protection so that people can truly express their most authentic self.

Google Play’s Kids tab helps make it easier for parents to find quality apps for their children

Monitoring children’s online activities goes beyond keeping track of their daily screen time. Especially now that parents need to keep kids entertained while staying home, extra effort goes into finding kid-friendly content to plan out children’s activities for listening, watching, and playing on their devices. 

 

Google Play’s Kids tab helps make it easier for parents to find quality apps for their children. The tab now has “Teacher approved” apps which are both entertaining and enriching, rated based on several factors like age-appropriateness, quality of experience, enrichment, and delight. Only apps that meet quality standards are given a "Teacher approved" badge. The app listings also provide parents with additional information about why the app was rated accordingly to help determine if the app is right for their child. 

 

Academic experts and teachers behind the review and rating process are led by Joe Blatt from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Dr. Sandra Calvert from Georgetown University.

 

Blatt is a children’s media expert and has created educational multimedia and broadcast television programs over the past 20 years. He has been the consultant and advisor of many major production companies, including Sesame Workshop and Pokemon, among others. Dr. Calvert, on the other hand, leads the Children’s Digital Media Center in Georgetown University where they study the effects of interactive digital media experiences on children’s long-term social adjustment, academic achievement, and personal identity.

 

To browse “Teacher approved” content, simply go to the "Kids" tab on Google Play. Remember to always encourage conversations with children to set digital ground rules, find out about content they like, and discuss smart online habits and other digital topics. Check out Google’s Family Link for a set of helpful tools and a family guide to help initiate such conversations.

Manila City Mayor Isko Moreno kicked off the 450th anniversary of the city’s founding by welcoming 400,000 doses of Sinovac’s Coronavac

Manila City Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso kicked off the 450th anniversary of the city’s founding by welcoming 400,000 doses of Sinovac’s Coronavac at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) along with top city officials and the manufacturers, Sinovac Life Sciences Ltd, represented by its Philippine distributor, IP-Biotech, Inc. (IPB).

 

A private ceremony was held yesterday at the National Commission for Culture and the Arts’ Metropolitan Theater yesterday, wherein the Manila local government honored and thanked its upstanding citizens and businesses. A posthumous award was also bestowed upon all frontliners who gave their lives in the fight against COVID-19. The event was capped with Moreno receiving the doses of the vaccine at the airport, which signals yet another ray of hope for Manilenyos.

 Vaccine Nation on the 450^th Araw ng Maynila: Yorme and Vice Mayor Honey Lacuna are joined by IPB Chairman Enrique Gonzalez as well as vaccine tsar Sec. Carlos Galvez, and Secretary of Health, Franciso Duque to welcome more doses of vaccines to the Philippines.

Last month, stocks in the capital city were precariously low, which prompted the decision to halt walk-in vaccinations -- however due to the City’s foresight and planning, as well as a great working relationship with IPB, with whom they have been in talks with since April for doses, Manila’s “Vaccine Nation” campaign marches steadily forward.

 

In terms of vaccination performance, Manila has vaccinated 41% of its 800,000-target population. This is in tandem with the Vaccine Express project of the Office of the Vice President, where a drive-through vaccination site for members of the transport sector receive their inoculations as well as gas cards to help them get back to work and revive the economy.

 

“Kaiba sa atin selebrasyon noong 2020, ipinagdiriwang natin ngayong taon ang Araw ng Maynila nang pisikal tayong magkakasama habang istriktong sumusunod sa minimum health protocols,” the Mayor said. 

 

“Your City will continue to vaccinate as many as possible, as soon as possible. Our partnership with IP-Biotech and other local businesses will help us reach herd immunity in no time. More jabs will also create more jobs that will contribute to economic recovery,” Moreno added.

 

IPB Chairman Enrique Gonzalez said, “We are honored to be of service to the City of Manila on the Araw Ng Maynila. We are also inspired to see the many innovations implemented by City of Manila such as their vaccine ID system and free covid-testing. Mabuhay Ang Manila! Mabuhay Ang Pilipinas!"

Apart from the vaccines arriving, the city inaugurated a new COVID-19 field hospital on Araw ng Maynila. The new Archbishop of Manila, Jose Cardinal Advincula was installed in the Manila Cathedral, and the Araw ng Maynila Racing Festival was launched in Carmona, Cavite.
