#FeelLife with Vitamins B1+B6+B12 (Neurobion) with proper diet and exercise


Imagine this: it’s a typical day, you're holding the steering wheel, driving down your usual route, when, all of a sudden, you're forced to pull over as feelings of pamamanhid (numbness) or tusok-tusok (tingling) creep into your hands.

 

Or perhaps, you’re in the middle of a workday, checking your emails, when out of the blue, the same prickly feeling disrupts your focus. Or maybe you’re indulging in your favorite pastime, cooking or tending to your beloved plants, when suddenly a numbing sensation, like an invisible glove  covering your hand, gets in the way.

 

Feels familiar?

 

When feeling pamamanhid and tusok-tusok, don’t leave it to kutob lang 

As with many Filipinos and like other times before, your kutob (strong intuition) probably simply told you to brush these nagging feelings aside, reassuring you that these are nothing more than signs of aging or fatigue.

 

While listening to our kutob, a cultural habit in which many Filipinos deeply trust, had served you well in many situations, it’s important to note that these seemingly insignificant feelings could also be symptoms of a deeper underlying issue – peripheral neuropathy or nerve damage, which could stop you from the way you feel life. 

 

#KnowTheFeeling of Nerve Damage 

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when the peripheral nerves, responsible for transmitting signals and information between the brain and the rest of the body, sustain nerve damage. This condition can affect the entire body, manifesting in various symptoms such as pamamanhid and tusok-tusok, and may impact the things that we love to do.

 

Last 2022, a research conducted by P&G revealed that many Filipinos experience occasional nerve discomfort as they age. That’s why Vitamins B1+B6+B12 (Neurobion) are urging Filipinos to stay on top of their nerve health. 

 

When it comes to peripheral neuropathy, early detection is key to improve disease outcome and manage the condition more effectively. So, if you start experiencing recurring pamamanhid and tusok-tusok in your hands, don't hesitate to #KnowTheFeeling and consult with your doctor.

 

You can also ask the friendly chatbot, Neuri,  to help understand the symptoms associated with peripheral neuropathy or nerve damage. And never forget to consult doctors about your symptoms. They can provide proper diagnosis and recommend the best course of action, including how incorporating Vitamins B1+B6+B12 (Neurobion) into your daily routine could be beneficial for your nerve health. 

 

Treat Nerve Damage at The Root 

Deficiency of Vitamin B is often linked to nerve damage symptoms. Studies show that taking neurotropic B vitamins—Vitamins B1, B6, and B12—play pivotal roles in supporting nerve health, and helping to relieve pamamanhid and tusok-tusok:

·       Vitamin B1 provides energy for your nerves

·       Vitamin B6 assists in signal transmission, and

·       Vitamin B12 aids in nerve regeneration.

 

All these are present in Vitamins B1+B6+B12 (Neurobion) to help stop recurring pamamanhid and tusok-tusok from bothering you again, with regular intake and proper diet and exercise.

#FeelLife with Vitamins B1+B6+B12 (Neurobion) with proper diet and exercise

Break free from the uncertainty of feeling-feeling lang and rediscover the joy of feeling life to the fullest with Vitamins B1+B6+B12 (Neurobion) with proper diet and exercise.

 

If you're experiencing pamamanhid and tusok-tusok, remember that your friendly chatbot, Neuri is just a few taps away. More importantly, always consult with your doctor to gain insights into your symptoms and assess your risk factors. Together with Neuri and your healthcare provider, you can take proactive steps towards maintaining healthy nerves so, you can #FeelLife and continue to do the things that you love. 

For more information, visit https://www.neurobion.com. To avail of Vitamins B1+B6+B12 (Neurobion), visit any drugstore nationwide or purchase via and the P&G Health Official Shopee store.

 

If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

Procter & Gamble (P&G) Philippines demonstrated its unwavering commitment to equality and inclusion as the Platinum Sponsor of Pride March 2023

Procter & Gamble (P&G) Philippines, the multinational consumer goods company behind brands like Safeguard, Pantene, Head & Shoulders, Olay, Ariel, Tide, and Oral-B, demonstrated its unwavering commitment to equality and inclusion as the Platinum Sponsor of Pride March 2023, held at Quezon Memorial Circle on June 24th. 

This marks the second time P&G sponsors Manila Pride. Under the theme "Lead with Love," the company’s leaders, employees, families, and friends proudly celebrate its LGBTQ+ employees and allies by marching alongside the LGBTQ+ community.

Jea Bocaling, P&G's Senior Director for Global People Mobility Services delivered P&G’s solidarity speech. 

P&G’s commitment to the LGBTQ+ community is grounded in our mission to create a workplace and a world where Equality and inclusion are achievable for all,” said Bocaling. 


Over 400 P&G employees and their families and friends participated in the 2023 Pride March and Festival at the Quezon City Memorial Circle

As a platinum sponsor for Pride, P&G also activated its brands via providing booths with engaging activities, including face painting by Olay and a mini salon by Pantene. Pride march attendees also received products and merchandise from P&G. 

“P&G actively supports the LGBTQ+ community through partnerships and programs that advance equity, equality, and inclusion, and Pride March is one way we show our solidarity," says Amandeep Singh, Chief Financial Officer at P&G Philippines and Executive  Sponsor of GABLE, (Gay, Ally, Bisexual, and Lesbian Employees), an employee-led affinity group for LGBTQ+ employees and allies.

P&G's commitment to fostering a culture of respect and growth is exemplified through initiatives like GABLE, which offers safe spaces for LGBTQ+ employees to further representation, inclusion, learning, and support. GABLE organizes educational events and seminars that empower employees to develop a workplace where everyone can be their most authentic selves at work.

P&G GABLE also organized a  sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression (SOGIE) training for all P&G employees to foster more education, understanding, and inclusion in the workplace. Aside from re-introducing P&G’s efforts to support and represent the LGBTQ+ community through its brands, the training also aims to further educate P&G employees on what SOGIE is and how to respectfully engage with members of the LGBTQ+ community. 

In line with promoting equality and inclusion, P&G's industry-leading "Share the Care" parental leave policy offers all parents regardless of gender, sexual identity, and orientation a minimum of 8 weeks of fully paid leave, enabling them to care for and bond with their biological or adopted children.

For thirty years, P&G has been at the forefront of LGBTQ+ inclusion, becoming one of the earliest Fortune 500 companies to incorporate sexual orientation in its diversity statement and actions. In line with this commitment, P&G Philippines takes pride in championing LGBTQ+ equality and inclusion, ensuring authentic representation of sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression within and beyond the organization.

K-Pop girl group "IVE" is the newest ambassador of PUMA


Global sports brand PUMA has selected K-Pop girl group "IVE", an icon of the MZ generation under Starship Entertainment, as its ambassador in 15 countries in Asia and Oceania. IVE is expected to star in various brand campaigns and events, which PUMA plans to launch in order to communicate actively with fans and consumers around the world and captivate the global market.

 

To officially welcome the group to the brand's growing roster of ambassadors, PUMA has unveiled the first pictorial with IVE, featuring the 6 members styled with PUMA's iconic T7 track jacket and Suede sneakers.

We will be carrying out Puma's various campaigns throughout the APAC region with IVE, and we ask for your continuous interest and support in PUMA's unique style with IVE's charm added," said Puma.

 

IVE's first full-scale album "I've IVE" released in April sold more than 1.1 million copies, propelling the group to become a million seller for two consecutive years. The group sustained their continued popularity after their title song "I AM" topped Korea's major music sites and "Kitsch" made it to the top 5 on the weekly chart of Melon and Genie.

 

The group has also been gaining success overseas. Their double title songs catapulted them to the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. US charts. “I AM” charted for 8 consecutive weeks and ranked 38th while "Kitsch" ranked 168th on Billboard Global 200. The group also recently released their first Japanese album “WAVE” and has since started their full-fledged global activities. IVE is looking to sustain the success of their first fan concert tour "The Prom Queens" in Singapore on June 30th and Thailand on July 8th, following their successful run in Korea, Japan, the Philippines, and Taiwan.

 

Moreover, starting with the release of the Korea Exclusive Campaign on July 17th, IVE will continue to support the APAC region in the coming months, and is expected to capture the hearts of consumers in Asia and Oceania.

McDonald’s Philippines together with PLDT Smart has extended the SIM Registration of Smart and TNT subscribers


Supporting the country’s efforts toward data privacy and protection, McDonald’s Philippines, along with PLDT wireless arm Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), has extended the SIM Registration of Smart and TNT subscribers in selected McDonald’s stores around the country.

 

McDonald’s, in partnership with Smart, played a pivotal role in supporting the initial run of the nationwide SIM Registration as it turned 35 selected McDonald’s stores with unused party areas into temporary SIM Registration sites.

 

By offering their stores as locations for SIM Registration for Smart and TNT subscribers, McDonald’s Philippines provides accessibility and convenience for more Filipinos, especially mobile users who may need assistance in registering their SIMs. 

Since the launch of the temporary sites in April, over 10,000 Smart and TNT subscribers have successfully registered their SIMs in selected McDonald’s stores.

 

Participating McDonald’s Stores

 

As the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has extended the SIM Registration until July 25, 2023, to ensure that Filipinos will have more chances to prevent SIM deactivation, McDonald’s and Smart will continue assisting customers in participating McDonald’s Stores:

 

      On July 3, 5, 10: Mart One, Capas, Calapan Roxas Drive, Calapan, Pili CamSur, Marymart Iloilo, Pavia, Kabankalan City, Robinson's Place Iloilo, Pison Avenue, Cadiz, San Carlos, Araneta Bacolod, Tagum Highway, Limketkai, Valencia, Downtown Butuan, San Franz, Butuan Gaisano, and Gaisano Capital Surigao

 

      On July 3, 5, 10, 12: Colon Osmena, Escario, Lapu Lapu City, South Coast, Carcar, Toledo, BQ MALL, Ozamis Highway, Koronadal, Guiwan, Gensan Highway, Cotabato, and Lagao Gensan.

 

      On July 3, 5, 10, 12, 17, 19, 24: Naga City Plaza and W Mall Bay City.

 

All Smart and TNT subscribers only need to bring a valid government ID to register at the nearest McDonald’s participating stores. Registration is free for all walk-in customers. 

 

To further encourage SIM Registration, individuals who register in McDonald’s stores have a chance to win McDonald’s treats.


“With our continued commitment to nation-building, McDonald’s Philippines supports the government’s push for SIM registration by making it accessible to more Filipino communities. Just like how we turned our party areas into study halls (McClassroom) during the pandemic, we continue to maximize the use of our stores to cater to the evolving needs of the communities we’re in,” Oliver Rabatan, McDonald’s Philippines Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer.

New and existing Smart Prepaid and TNT customers may also visit PLDT and Smart Stores, or access Smart’s SIM Registration portal through https://www.smart.com.ph/simreg. Meanwhile, Smart postpaid customers are considered registered using existing account details, in accordance with the SIM Registration act.
