Head of the family: not just a provider but a father

Imagine working in a world where time seems to just past by and where almost everything changes instantly. Think of having to keep up with an environment where it costs a lot to stop or even slow down for a while. Sound taxing, right? What more of prioritizing the welfare of everybody in the household on top of it all. 

But every head of the family doesn’t mind about it. Fathers are said to be the pillars of our homes. They toil sun up to sun down to give our needs and desires.

Some of them go abroad with tears in their eyes because they will be physically separated from their families. However, there is a certain joy in their hearts knowing that they will be able to provide for their loved ones back home.

To honor these gallant paternal men and let them feel how extraordinary they are and important their sacrifices are for their families, Father’s Day has been a yearly universal event. As we mark again this special occasion on Sunday, June 18, 2017, our applause and recognition will never be enough to show them how grateful we are to have them in our lives. 

Our dads, together with our moms, take good care of us the moment we’re born. They are the ones who provide everything we need for our everyday lives. From infancy up to adulthood, they feed and clothe us. 

As we take our initial baby steps, our patriarchs guide and lead us in the right direction. When we stumble and fall, they assist us to rise and move on. In times of danger or any threat, they shield us from any harm.

All of these, they do out of unconditional love. Their selflessness, though, has its own toll. Working tirelessly could lead to high levels of stress constantly and problems not only mentally, but physically, too. So better watch out for the signs. 

Has tatay been constantly complaining about losing strands and strands of his hair every day? Or maybe has he been searching for a way on how to get them to grow back?

According to the hair loss statistics conducted by Statistic Brain in the year 2016, 40 percent of men experience noticeable mane vanishing as early as age 35. And as per the American Hair Loss Association, there are a couple of different factors that cause excessive hair fall, one being extreme degree of stress.

Nutramedica Inc. introduced a revolutionary product that aims to address this problem: NOVUHAIR, nature’s answer to hair loss. Being the only topical scalp lotion in the country that is made from 19 natural herbs, essential oils and co-factor nutrients all working synergistically, it’s perfect for all the heads of the family out there, be they biological or not.

NOVUHAIR is proven effective and safe to help prevent and stop the progression of hair loss and, at the same time, help promote locks’ growth. Simply spray a liberal amount of NOVUHAIR topical scalp lotion onto the scalp and massage for 5-10 minutes. Voila, it penetrates deeply into the roots, which helps rejuvenate, nourish and maintain the natural moisture of the hair. 

Still have no idea on what to give him on his big day? Well, NOVUHAIR might not be the most expensive gift to impress him, but the most valuable present he could ever have. This nature’s answer to hair loss provides him the chance to be ahead already in preventing his “crowning glory” from receding in the near future. 

So, head on to all leading stores nationwide and get a dose of this breakthrough product. NOVUHAIR is also available in shampoo and conditioner formats to further complement the benefits of NOVUHAIR topical scalp lotion.

To do our share of helping those who are seeking refuge from this situation, we continue to support humanitarian efforts both of the government and the private sector through relief operations and provision of free calls to the evacuees,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe SVP for Corporate Communications.

"Powers" ! New Kwentong Jollibee for Father’s Day puts the spotlight on ‘Super dads’

In the eyes of children, their fathers are their first superheroes. This Father’s Day, Jollibee showcases this powerful truth in “Powers”, the latest addition to their hit Kwentong Jollibee series.

“We look-up to our fathers as superheroes because – though it may be unknown to them - they display amazing prowess and strength as they go about fulfilling their duties to their family,” said Francis Flores, Jollibee Global Brand Chief Marketing Officer and PH Marketing Head.

“In ‘Powers’, we teamed up again with our creative agency McCann Worldgroup Philippines in showcasing this super characteristic in a playful, creative manner by taking on a child’s perspective wherein dads are regarded as real-life superheroes. Our latest short film is our special tribute to all the fathers who take care and provide for their families to the best of their abilities,” shared Jollibee Brand Communications and PR Director Arline Adeva.

Watch the video here:

Directed by Filipino-Canadian filmmaker, Edber Mamisao, “Powers” tells the story of a young boy named Angelo who is mighty proud of his Dad whom we openly regard as his “Superhero’. In true Kwentong Jollibee fashion, the story takes an unexpected turn as it reveals the humble occupation of Angelo’s father that didn’t affect at all Angelo’s love, admiration and respect for him.

Mamisao’s video treatment also greatly contributed to the playful and fun superhero vibe of “Powers”. With an epic music score and cinematography treatment as seen in some of today’s trending superhero blockbuster movies plus clever and imaginative execution, “Powers” displays a fun yet equally heart-tugging side of the much-loved Kwentong Jollibee videos.

“Powers” simply, efficiently reminds us of the extraordinary love every father or father figure have for their children, making any son and daughter appreciate them as their number one real-life superhero. This Father’s Day, let “Powers” help us tap into our own super capabilities of giving thanks to the big man, our ultimate idol, our very own tatay.

Catch and share the powerful Kwentong Jollibee episode on Jollibee’s official Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/JollibeePhilippines/videos/1468065766572978/ and make Father’s Day super special and extra meaningful for all our superdads.

Happy Father's Day !

Nestle Philippines joins Globe Telecom’s Project 1 Phone

(L-R) Globe Business Vice President for Enterprise Sales Dion Asencio, Globe Senior Vice President for Corporate Communications Yoly Crisanto, Nestle’ Philippines Senior Vice President for Corporate Affairs Ernie Mascenon and Nestle’ Philippines Technical Director Peter Winter sign the Memorandum of Agreement for Globe Telecom and Nestle’ Philippines’ Project 1 Phone partnership.

As part of its environmental sustainability program, Nestle’ Philippines has joined Globe Telecom’s Project 1 Phone (P1P) electronic waste recycling initiative which promotes proper disposal of broken and discarded electrical and electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, printers, among others.

Nestle and Globe signed a Memorandum of Agreement recently in response to the P1P campaign spearheaded by Globe Business among its corporate clients to encourage donations of individual and company e-waste. Initially, Nestle agreed to distribute the Globe e-waste bins to each of its 20 sites across the Philippines which include corporate offices factories, distribution centers, sales and service offices.

Globe Business Vice President Dion Asencio said that the main inspiration of the project is to find ways to do business beyond the usual operations. “We normally look at partnerships with other companies from a connectivity standpoint, what services we can provide from a technology point of view like how to bring the digital transformation into their organization. This is really different because this initiative stems from looking at what our purpose is --- which is making it possible for our enterprise customers to go beyond business by being involved in corporate sustainability activities.”

“We want to improve the community where we operate. Managing waste - both solid waste and electronic waste - is a big concern for the company. I believe that this partnership with Globe is another big step towards our goal of creating a greener environment for the people,” said Nestle’ Philippines Senior Vice President for Corporate Affairs. 

P1P, the flagship conservation initiative of Globe, focuses on responsible e-waste recycling and recovery to ensure that harmful materials do not end up in landfills. It also aims to promote sustainability by engaging various stakeholders, customers, partner corporations and the public to donate their e-waste for the conservation and protection of the environment. 

So far, from the 79,968.2 Kg of e-waste gathered when it was first launched in 2014, the amount increased to 124,572.19 Kg the following year. In 2016, through concerned individuals and 10 corporate partners, Globe has hauled a whopping 141,833.69 kilograms, which exceeds the year-end target of 120,000 kilograms. 

All proceeds from recycling these electronic waste go to Globe Telecom´s advocacy to bring 21st-century learning to students and teachers by building ICT classrooms nationwide and providing proper training through its Global Filipino Schools program.

Top 8 Civil Engineer Board Passer receives 1 million

The Manuel L. Quezon University (MLQU) founded in 1947, follows the principles of the great Manuel Luis Quezon, president of the Philippine Commonwealth, considered as the father of social justice, best remembered to upholding nationalism to fuel progress in the country.

MLQU concentrates on training nationalistic, competent, educated and upright Filipinos imbued with a spirit of selflessness and committed service to society, through quality education and training.

MLQU could be described to be a school for achievers and future heroes. MLQU has produced notable Quezonians made achievements in government service and many have made an impact in their respective industries.

Recently, MLQU gave one (1) million cash reward to Mr. Archimedes Martinez as a token of recognition and appreciation for ranking Top 8 in the recent nationwide professional licensing exam for Civil Engineers at Success the MLQU Way event held at the Victoria Sports Tower Station 2, last June 6, 2017.

Engr. Martinez, a BS Civil Engineer graduate from Manuel L. Quezon University, ranked 8th with a rating of 92.65 percent based on results posted by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) last May 11, 2017.

Martinez is the only graduate from MLQU to make it to the top 10. Out of 6,998 examinees, only 2,514 passed the exam conducted simultaneously in 12 cities in the country.

With this achievement Martinez has brought honor and pride to his alma mater. And in return, MLQU celebrates this victory through Success the MLQU Way event by rewarding him one (1) million pesos and a job offer from New San Jose Builders, Inc. (NSJBI). 

The said event is a celebration of the success and achievements of MLQU graduates who have exhibited exemplary performance during the recent Board and Bar Examinations.

Together with Mr. Martinez, Mr. Raphael Pedroso was also awarded fifty thousand pesos for having a total average score of 93.25% in the recent nationwide professional licensing exam for Civil Engineers.

This is MLQU’s way to motivate its aspiring students to be committed and to continue to strive for excellence.

During the early years of MLQU, the university is known to produce high caliber graduates, some of which are bar topnotchers who are now experts and pillars in various industries. And as the years passed, MLQU had its fair share of trials and challenges that it had to surpass to keep its notable reputation. In 2014, the New San Jose Builders Inc. acquired MLQU which ignited a vision of getting back on track and building the culture of excellence and legacy of becoming an outstanding academic institution. Since then MLQU, under the new management, has been very committed in regaining its glory.

MLQU will continue to hone individuals who are capable of producing exemplary and notable works. 

MLQU is continuously beefing up its roster of faculty members and deans who are known practitioners from their respective industry. Adding to the list of MLQU notable deans are former Chief Justice Reynato Puno, Regent & Dean Emeritus College of Law; former Supreme Court Associate Justice Jose Perez, Dean School of Law; Professor Eric Soriano, Dean School of Accountancy, Business and Real Estate Management; and DPWH Undersecretary Raul Asis and former UP Dean of Architecture Danilo Silvestre, special lecturers to name a few. 

Alongside the enhancement of MLQU facilities and faculty, the basic education program for kindergarten to senior high will be offered at MLQU SPACE this June. MLQU SPACE, an acronym for “School for Professional Advancement and Continuing Education”.

A day with dad

He is a provider, a hero, and a friend all wrapped into one—he is dad. And there’s no better time to show our dads how much we appreciate them for being the pillar of the family than on a day specially dedicated to all the fathers out there.

Solane, the country’s leading LPG solutions provider, encourages us to express our love to our dads with the Dapat Lang advocacy campaign, where it emphasizes the importance of doing the right thing for the family, for others, and society as a whole.

Like everyone else, our dad also long for expressions of love, and we can do so through these simple deeds:

A day with dad

Plan an adventure-filled day outdoors. Make Father’s Day more interesting and bond with the family by planning an adventure-filled day with dad. Take a short hike, fly a kite, go fishing, take a road trip, set-up a picnic at the park, or have an outdoor barbecue. Without a doubt, it will be a very memorable celebration for all.

Cook his favorite food. Occasions such as Father’s Day mean malls will be jam-packed, and restaurants will have long waiting queues. Instead of spending the day at the mall, opt to celebrate at home by arranging a nice dining table set-up and cooking his favorite dishes. Adding your own touch through the dishes is another way of making this day even more special.

Have a game night. Have fun with games like charades or board games. As this day falls on a Sunday, it is the perfect opportunity to relax and spend time with loved ones. 

Make a handmade gift. Who says you need to spend a lot of money to celebrate Father’s Day? A simple handmade greeting card, letter, or even putting together basic tools that he can use to repair things at home will definitely mean the world to dad.

These tips may be simple but they’re surefire ways to make dad feel special on Father’s Day. Dapat lang!
