Babyflo aims to be every Filipino’s buddy towards an eco-friendlier lifestyle

 

Babyflo, a trusted brand under Philusa Corporation, strengthens its commitment to giving the best care for our daily hygiene needs while caring for the environment with the recent launch of its - new line of eco-friendly cotton buds.

 

Philusa has long been a key advocate for sustainability, with the primary vision of delivering greener alternatives for many of their iconic brands such as Babyflo and Cleene, where they have implemented biodegradable, recyclable, and other sustainable options for their products as well as campaigns calling for effective actions for the environment. 

According to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Philippines is losing approximately 52,000 trees per day. Every year, 47,000 hectares of forest, an area roughly three times the size of Quezon City, is destroyed by logging, slash-and-burn farming, and land conversion. Recognizing the serious environmental issues the country is currently experiencing, Filipino consumers are becoming ‘reuse revolutionaries’, which means that they are more aware of the disastrous impacts of waste in our landfills and the environment. Hence, consumers are now keen on making a difference and ensuring that they are having a positive impact on the planet we live in. 

One of the ways consumers can live a greener lifestyle is by looking at the products we use on a regular basis and switching to a more eco-friendly option. Babyflo is here to make living a sustainable lifestyle easier by giving us an earth friendly choice of cotton buds – Babyflo Gentle Buds Eco-friendly, the first Earth-minded cotton buds in the market made of 100% pure cotton tips, unbleached paper stems that come from responsibly managed forests, and biodegradable packaging so families can make their personal care routine greener.

 

“The journey toward our goal starts with a single step. Through this product, Babyflo aims to be every Filipino’s buddy towards an eco-friendlier lifestyle,” remarked Mr. Neogin Evangelista, Philusa Corporation President and General Manager. “Philusa being a homegrown Filipino brand, has always been at the forefront of taking small steps and sometimes even big leaps towards a greener Philippines.”

Babyflo Gentle Buds Eco-Friendly sources its paper from managed forests thereby ensuring that every tree that is used to make the product is replaced. 

 

“One thing that prevents us from living a more sustainable lifestyle is the lack of eco-friendly options. Now that this product is out and available, we hope that it could encourage more people to choose a greener lifestyle and inspire them to be more mindful of their everyday choices,” said Jacquiline Pe, Brand Manager of Babyflo Cotton buds. 

 

Aside from personal hygiene, Babyflo Gentle Buds Eco-Friendly can be used for a variety of tasks, such as removal or application of cosmetic products,  application of medicine on injuries / wounds, and removing smudged nail polish, to name a few. The unbleached paper stems are sturdy, and the 100% pure cotton tips are also durable, which makes them ideal for different uses.

Start your budding green lifestyle with Babyflo Gentle Buds Eco-friendly, now available in Mercury Drug, Robinsons, Puregold, Metro Gaisano, and other retail stores nationwide and online.

PLDT Home’s Madiskarte Moms PH (MMPH) online community bags the prestigious Grand Anvil Award

PLDT Home’s Madiskarte Moms PH (MMPH) online community won the prestigious Grand Anvil Award, the highest honors at the 58th Anvil Awards this year. The community’s first ever annual awards that celebrates exceptional mompreneurs, Gawad Madiskarte 2022, was also a recipient of a Gold Anvil Award under the PR tools category. 

 

“We are humbled to have won the prestigious Grand Anvil Award for an advocacy that our brand truly believes in, and it’s made even more meaningful to have received the recognition on International Women’s Day,” said Cheryl P. Loyola, Assistant Vice President and Head of Public Relations and Influencer Management at PLDT Home. 

 

“It is our privilege and honor to empower and support our hardworking, dedicated, and passionate mompreneurs. We are always committed to help them be financially independent and succeed in life by providing the fastest and most reliable PLDT Home broadband to power their online businesses,” she added.

 

 

MMPH is an online community launched at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic which had gravely affected many working Filipino women; some lost their jobs while some were forced to leave their work in order to focus on their domestic duties. Understanding the increasing financial responsibilities that their families face, PLDT Home and a group of Filipino moms launched Madiskarte Moms PH in September 2020. A Filipino term for someone resourceful, “madiskarte” fittingly captured the spirit of Filipino moms who took on the challenge of digital entrepreneurship amid the pandemic.

PLDT Home’s Madiskarte Moms PH community won the Grand Anvil Award.

An online community for aspiring, starting, and experienced mother entrepreneurs or mompreneurs, MMPH aims to educate moms on how to successfully start, manage, or grow their business by providing them with information and resources; build a strong support system with like-minded moms in a safe online space; and empower them to succeed in their entrepreneurial journey through technology and skills training in partnership with industry leaders as well as providing them with business starter kits.

 Madiskarte Moms PH also launched the first ever Gawad Madiskarte 2022: A Tribute to Outstanding Filipina Mompreneurs on Women’s Month last March 2022, which also won a Gold Anvil Award. It is an awards ceremony that recognizes exceptional mompreneurs who thrived despite the hardships brought about by the pandemic. MMPH honored mompreneurs who overcame challenges and flourished during these trying times. 

 

Madiskarte Moms PH also previously won a Silver Stevie Award for Innovation in Community Relations or Public Relations at the 2022 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards.

 

The Anvil Awards, presented by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines, is the "Oscars" of public relations in the country where they recognize the most excellent and outstanding PR programs and tools every year.

P&G has had to adapt to the challenges brought about by the pandemic

 

With the pandemic forcing  Filipinos to reevaluate not just how they view work, but their entire lives, workplace dissatisfaction led to the “Great Resignation,” – an economic trend where employees, in numbers larger than usual, resigned from work since the start of the pandemic. Various reasons for the resignations include inadequate compensation, overall job dissatisfaction, the lack of opportunities, and return-to-office policies.  

 

According to Procter & Gamble (P&G) Philippines, the Great Place to Work®-certified multinational consumer goods company with a diverse range of superior health care, home care, beauty, and grooming products, employee satisfaction and retention are anchored on three factors: People Investment, Equality and Inclusion, and Purpose-Drive Workplace. 

 

“For P&G, people are our most important asset. We always strive to innovate and have industry-leading policies, programs, and practices to keep our people empowered and motivated,” says Vince Dizon, Country Human Resource Leader of P&G Philippines. 

 

People Investment

 

While pandemic restrictions have eased, its repercussions on the Philippine workforce have remained steady. In 2022, the Philippine employee resignation rate increased and part of this is due to a lack of growth opportunities within companies. According to GlassDoor.com, among the top ten reasons for resignations are unrealistic goals and expectations and lack of career path and progression. 

 

P&G meets this challenge head-on. As one of the country’s top employers, P&G is known to invest in its talent and leadership development highly. The company stands apart with its ‘grow from within’ culture, meaningful careers leading billion-dollar global brands, international exposure and assignments, and hands-on mentorship from P&G leaders across the globe.

 

Despite workforce challenges that affect employee retention in Philippine companies, P&G Philippines continues to safeguard employee satisfaction

Equality and Inclusion

 

During the onset of the pandemic, P&G reframed its employee value proposition (EVP), the framework from which the company anchors its people policies, to “P&G + Me = Mutual Success.” This new framework focused on gratifying and empowering employees by keeping them inspired, valuing and rewarding good work, and continuously making a positive impact on the business and communities P&G serves. 

 

It is from this framework that P&G Philippines developed its HR policies and programs that supported and allowed its employees to thrive and succeed amidst the changing workplace landscape. 

 

In 2020, P&G launched one of its biggest and most groundbreaking policies called “Share the Care” which entitles fathers to 8 weeks of parental leave vs. the mandatory 7 days of paternity leave in the local Philippines context. The policy applies to all employees, regardless of gender, marital status, and biological or adoptive status.

 

P&G also launched Vibrant Living, a holistic wellness program that aims to emphasize the importance of mental, socio-emotional, and physical health. At a time when people were working hybrid WFH setups, P&G was able to cater to their needs both virtually and physically through online medical seminars, webinars on mental health, virtual workouts, and even online music classes for P&G kids. 

 

As the workforce landscape keeps evolving, P&G continues to promote policies that foster and create inclusion and equal opportunities for all employees to thrive and succeed regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, and background.

 

A Purpose-Driven Workplace

 

According to Talent Trends’ 2022 The Great X report, the Filipino workforce is shifting focus on finding quality workplaces that offer purposeful work. 

 

“P&G is committed to being a Force for Growth and  a Force for Good in the communities where we live and work. Our employees share this commitment as we serve consumers with superior products and being available to them during times of greater need,” says Dizon.

 

P&G has been a consistent partner of various government agencies and non-government organizations like the Department of Health, Department of Education (DepEd), the Philippine Red Cross, and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to name a few. Over the COVID-19 pandemic, P&G has stepped up as a Force for Good and a Force for Growth by donating over PHP 200 Million to help aid in the government’s COVID-19 pandemic response efforts. This includes re-purposing its manufacturing plant to produce and donate over 3 million medical-grade face masks to DOH and front liners hospitals, donating P&G health and hygiene products, and building health and hygiene infrastructures for DepEd schools, LGUs, government hospitals, public areas, and transport terminals.

 

Recently, P&G donated over Php 650,000.00 worth of P&G home and personal care products to the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP) to aid communities in need during PCUP’s first-ever PWD and Senior Assembly during Urban Poor Solidarity Week. In collaboration with the Manila Water Foundation, the company also donated over Php 1.8 million in P&G Vicks' newest product, ZzzQuil melatonin gummies, to over 4,000 Business Process Outsourcing workers to promote health through proper rest.

 

P&G Philippines’ winning workplace culture was recently affirmed by earning its Great Place to Work® Certification™ with a 94% employee satisfaction rating. The company also won “Top Employer of the Year” at the 2022 Asia CEO Awards, was recognized as “2022 Best Companies to Work for in Asia” by HR Asia, and was hailed as the Champion for the Gender Inclusive Workplace category in the 2021 UNWEP Awards.
