Vitamin C and Zinc are Important in Battling ‘Immunity Gap’ Among Kids

Tweet

Ascorbic Acid + Zinc (Ceelin® Plus) strengthens children's immunity,

whether they're sick or healthy.

Here’s Why Vitamin C and Zinc are Important in Battling ‘Immunity Gap’ Among Kids

Constantly worrying over your child’s health is not an overreaction, but simply a natural manifestation of parental love. When there is more than one valid cause for such concerns, however, it may be time to check and see if it’s a case of “immunity gap.”

Studies suggest that more and more children deal with “immune debt,” also known as the “immunity gap,” or the state of insufficient immunity response regardless of their health condition. When sick, for instance, the gap refers to children’s decreased levels of essential nutrients like Vitamin C and Zinc due to infections, affecting their ability to naturally recover from illnesses. Meanwhile, when children are well, the gap refers to an underdeveloped immune system resulting from the lack of proper nutrition, timely vaccination, and exposure to pathogens. This results in children’s higher susceptibility to infections while hindering optimal growth and development across all key growth stages and milestones.

Several factors contribute to the “immunity gap” phenomenon. One of which is the deprioritization of vitamin intake, wherein parents instead give their children therapeutic medications when they are sick, and other perceived alternatives such as milk and probiotic drinks when they are well.

The drop in vitamin usage and the rise in "immunity gap" among kids point to one thing: Vitamins matter, and so does the right choice. As the #1 doctor-prescribed immunity vitamin for kids, Ascorbic Acid + Zinc (Ceelin® Plus) serves as a partner of moms in helping address children’s immunity gap. The brand aids in strengthening kids’ immunity for their overall growth and development while keeping them healthy when well, allowing them to recover faster when sick.

Ascorbic Acid + Zinc (Ceelin® Plus) helps provide children with strong protection with the powerful combination of Vitamin C and Zinc, which play important roles in nutrition and immune defense. A meta-analysis by scientific journal BMC Public Health shows that Vitamin C can reduce severe cold symptoms by 26%, while research by the United States National Library of Medicine found that Zinc helps kids with pneumonia recover faster and shortens hospital stays.

Moreover, Ascorbic Acid + Zinc (Ceelin® Plus) is the only brand made with patented unique ZincPlus® Technology that presents the stable combination of Vitamin C and Zinc, ensuring that kids get the right dose they need, regardless of how they are feeling. It also helps speed up recovery by boosting immune cells to fight viruses and bacteria when kids are sick. When they're healthy, it helps strengthen their immunity, supporting their growth and development during crucial stages.

If you feel your child suffers from an immunity gap, go for Ascorbic Acid + Zinc (Ceelin® Plus) to help strengthen their immunity to maintain overall health when they are well and quicken the recovery process when they are sick, together with proper diet and exercise.

Home Credit PH celebrates 11th anniversary, honors loyal customers and continues innovative financing services

Tweet

Home Credit Philippines (HCPH)  recently celebrates its 11th year of establishment marking over a decade of being the Filipinos’ financial ally and providing accessible and reliable financing services to its customers.

------------------------------------------------------------

Home Credit PH welcomes its anniversay celebration with its theme "Salamat sa tiwala"

-----------------------------------------------------------

As it enters a new era of service, HCPH remains firm in its commitment to providing its customers with financing access. It continues to develop innovative financing solutions and credit opportunities to enable Filipinos to achieve their goals and to adapt to the changing financial landscape through various credit products and value-added services.

In its 11th year and having served 11 million customers, HCPH is dedicated to being the financial ally of every Filipino, empowering them at every stage of their lives. The company has diligently expanded its sales networks nationwide, reaching 75 out of 81 provinces to make its solutions accessible to those who need them the most.

A celebration of milestones and trust

As HCPH welcomed its 11th year of service, the company commemorated the occasion with an event highlighting its users’ tiwala for the brand. The affair showcased and thanked its customers who have trusted HCPH throughout the years and honored those who have remained loyal since the company was launched in 2013.

Eleven of the company’s loyal customers were recognized during a program held at Trinoma’s Activity Center on Oct 25. These patrons have availed of 11 or more products from HCPH. As a token of appreciation, they were each given a P20,000 cheque, had the opportunity to bond with HCPH’s brand ambassador Marian Rivera, and were serenaded by guest band Nobita.

“At Home Credit, we believe in building lasting partnerships with our customers. Our loyal customers are the heart of our brand, and their continued support has paved the way for our continued success in the past ten years. As we now welcome a new year of service, their trust serves as our fuel to grow and their support propels us to continue innovating our financial solutions,” Sheila Paul, HCPH Chief Marketing Officer, remarked.

A partnership built on trust

One of HCPH’s guests during its anniversary event was the Kapuso Primetime Queen herself, Marian Rivera, who, apart from bonding with the crowd and HCPH’s 11 loyal customers, was there to announce her partnership renewal with the company.

A brand ambassador for more than a year now, Marian agreed to continue her reign as the face of the country’s leading consumer finance company for two more years. Her return isn't just a routine endorsement—it's a bold statement about trust and her unwavering commitment to a brand that empowers Filipinos.

“A trusted brand ambassador is more than just a face—they are a reflection of the values and integrity that drive one’s brand’s growth. When a respected individual endorses our company, it sends a powerful message to our customers that their trust is valued, and their well-being is a priority.

This renewal of the partnership with Marian, who is known for her credibility and longevity in the entertainment industry aligns with Home Credit’s drive for trust and our commitment to being the Filipinos’ financial ally,” Paul added.

A financial ally in times of need

As the Filipinos’ trusted financial ally, and as part of its commitment to empowering them at every stage of their life, HCPH also recognizes its role in standing by its customers and communities in times of need.

As part of its immediate response to the recent typhoon that has impacted many lives across the country, HCPH also announced during the event that it will be making a financial contribution to a trusted charity close to Marian’s heart, the GMA Kapuso Foundation, to support relief efforts for those who were affected.

“Home Credit is committed to assisting those in need. Apart from our donation, we hope that our products, such as Home Credit Protect, will provide some relief during this difficult time. Whether it’s through home coverage plans or loan flexibility features, we want our customers to know that we are here to support them through every challenge,” Zdenek Jankovsky, HCPH Chief Business Development Officer, concluded.

Give yourself the gift of more! Home Credit shares five reasons to reward yourself this Holiday season

Tweet

The Christmas season is here! For Filipinos, it's not just another holiday—it's the most anticipated time of the year. The start of the “-ber” months marks the beginning of festive lights, holiday music, and an unshakeable excitement in the air. It's a season of giving, love, and celebration; and a time to show appreciation to the people who mean the most to us: our family, friends, and loved ones.

But this year, let’s not forget someone who deserves a little extra love too—YOU.

As the country’s leading consumer finance company, Home Credit Philippines believes in the importance of rewarding yourself during this special time of year.

Here are five reasons why you should prioritize yourself too this holiday season:

You've worked hard all year. Let's face it, the daily grind can sometimes take a toll. From enduring long hours, navigating work challenges, to managing household responsibilities, you've given it your all. The holiday season is the perfect time to pause and recognize your hard work. It's not just about giving to others but also rewarding yourself for the countless challenges you've overcome this year.

It’s the season for joy, and you deserve some of it too. The holidays are meant to bring happiness, and while it’s wonderful to see your loved ones smile, your joy matters just as much. Whether it's that gadget you've had your eye on or a much-needed home upgrade, now is the time to treat yourself to something that will bring lasting happiness.

You’ve earned a break from the “pwede na” mindset. Throughout the year, it’s easy to settle for “good enough”—whether it's delaying a purchase or opting for more affordable but less satisfying options. But Christmas isn’t the time for compromise. This season, go beyond “pwede na” and indulge in what you truly want. You’ve earned it!

It’s an investment for a better year ahead. Rewarding yourself doesn’t just bring immediate satisfaction; it sets the tone for the year to come. By investing in something that enhances your life—whether it's a new appliance, a fitness gadget, or something to elevate your home—you’re setting yourself up for a more productive and enjoyable new year.

Because Christmas comes but once a year! The magic of Christmas doesn’t come around every day, so why not make the most of it? Filipinos go all out during the holiday season because we know how special it is. Let this be the year you get everything you need to create memories, enjoy comfort, and live life to the fullest.

For Home Credit, the holiday season is the best time to give yourself the gift of more—because you deserve it! That is why with its commitment to empowering Filipinos achieve a more rewarding life, the country’s leading finance company is about to make your holiday shopping experience easier and more exciting with its upcoming 0% Installment Festival.

PetPal launches home vaccination service for fur babies

Tweet

PetPal, the first pet care super app in the Philippines, is introducing home vaccinations as their newest service available on their petcare app!

The launch of this new service comes in time for National Pet Wellness Month this October, reminding pet parents about the importance of prioritizing routine veterinary check-ups and preventive care to keep pets healthy and thriving all year round.

In the Philippines, many pet owners go to veterinarians only during emergencies. A Royal Canin survey revealed that an estimated 80% of Filipino pet parents delay appointments until their pets are already ill or require urgent care. PetPal aims to change this reactive approach.

“Our services in PetPal were developed with our customers in mind–allowing them to have more control and flexibility in caring for their pets. Our home vaccinations are no different,” said Martin Luchangco, General Manager of PetPal.

Luchangco highlighted that every home vaccination service ensures pets' records are instantly updated in the PetPal app, simplifying the process for pet parents to monitor and stay on schedule for their pets' next vaccinations.

He added, “We want to build that habit of proactive care with our customers, with the PetPal App serving as their digital petcare companion and connecting them to the resources and services they need through our platform.”

Currently, PetPal’s home vaccinations are available within Metro Manila, including cities like Taguig, Makati, Pateros, Pasig, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Marikina, Quezon City, Navotas, Caloocan, Valenzuela, Manila, Pasay, Paranaque, Las Pinas. Service areas also extend to parts of Rizal, Laguna, Cavite, and Bulacan.

Available vaccines include Anti-Rabies and Kennel Cough, as well as combination vaccines like the 5-in-1, 6-in-1, and 8-in-1 for dogs, and the 4-in-1 for cats, with more to come.

Vaccinations start at just P300, excluding professional fees and add-ons.

Pet owners simply need to log into their PetPal app,

1. select their preferred vaccination schedule

2. choose a veterinarian, and;

3. confirm the appointment.

To ensure availability, it is recommended to book at least one week in advance.

Holistic pet care in just one app!

PetPal continues to lead innovation in pet healthcare, empowering Filipino owners with holistic solutions to keep their companions healthy and happy.

The home vaccination service enhances the platform’s existing lineup, catering to all types of pets. This includes:

● Quick Assist - an AI-powered chatbot that answers pet parents’ immediate questions and guides them in their next steps;

● Teleconsultations - available as via on-demand or scheduled video or chat consultation, pet owners can directly consult with a professional about their pet’s condition.

● Home vet visits - be it for vaccinations or a physical assessment, pet owners can schedule an in-person consultation with our registered vets

● Home grooming - now available on the app and covering Metro Manila.

○ Home service for condominium owners are still in the works.

To learn more about the home vaccination service and other offerings, pet owners can download the PetPal app on Android and iOS.

Globe’s G-gantic Goal unlocked: 100,000 customers unite to bring food, fun to 917 underprivileged families

Tweet

In yet another highlight of its annual G DAY celebration, Globe recently brought together 100,000 customers to spread joy to 917 underprivileged families through G-Gantic Goals, giving them a memorable Family Day with a surprise movie treat and a grocery and food package.

Backed by Globe Rewards, the initiative amplified the impact of National Family Week and showcased the spirit of unity among Globe customers and partners.

“The Filipinos' innate bayanihan spirit has proven once again that when we come together for a shared cause, we can make a meaningful difference. Through G-gantic Goals, we have shown that even a single Rewards point can create a ripple effect for good. Globe Rewards points have become agents of positive change, helping alleviate hunger and advancing the country’s sustainable development goals,” said Jerome Patalud, Head of Globe Rewards.

G-gantic Goals, a new community engagement feature on the GlobeOne app, encouraged 100,000 Globe customers to use 1 Rewards point to unlock a family day for 917 families or 3,668 family members supported by the Hapag Movement, Globe’s hunger alleviation campaign.

Modeled after a gamified fundraising drive, G-gantic Goals displayed real-time progress of the collective effort through the GlobeOne app, motivating customers to invite others to join. The goal was achieved five days ahead of schedule.

“A huge thank you to everyone, especially to the 100,000 Globe customers who participated in the G-gantic Goal. Because of you, we achieved our goal of providing a family date for 917 families nationwide supported by the Hapag Movement,”said Saj Ocampo, Manager at Globe Rewards.

Culminating the first iteration of G-gantic Goals at the close of National Family Week, Globe hosted simultaneous events across the country, delivering G Day grocery packages with essential food items to beneficiary families.

To heighten the excitement, the families were treated to a special movie screening at Ayala Malls Cinemas, a first-time experience for many. Screenings were held in multiple Ayala Malls, including TriNoma and UP Town Center in Quezon City, Feliz in Pasig City, MarQuee in Pampanga, Ayala Center Cebu, and Abreeza Davao.

“Masaya po kami na napili kami para po mabigyan ng pagkakataon. Labis po ang kasiyahan namin na kahit papaano, nakapag-bonding kami. Yung isama mo ang isa, sapat na pero yung lahat kami is a big thing for us. Maraming-maraming salamat,” shared Yhanie Abajaof Hopeful Hearts Foundation.

“Sobrang saya ko po ng nalaman ito kasi I will have the time to bond with my family and also make new memories with them. Sobrang grateful po sa Globe at sa Tzu Chi,” said Jiezel Dalagan, a scholar at Tzu Chi Foundation, one of three participating Hapag Movement partners.

Other Hapag Movement partners whose support was invaluable in organizing the simultaneous family dates were Ayala Foundation and Scholars of Sustenance Philippines. Contributions from Ayala Malls Cinemas and Puregold Price Club, Inc. also played a vital role in making the day extra special for the families involved.

“The success of G-gantic Goals demonstrates how the power of collaboration and an innovative customer engagement channel can make a real difference and uplift communities. We are grateful to our customers who helped make our G DAY celebration even more meaningful,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe’s Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer.

Customers looking to contribute can continue making direct donations via the GlobeOne app to Hapag Movement’s partner organizations including the UN World Food Programme, Ayala Foundation, Tzu Chi Foundation, Scholars of Sustenance, and Project PEARLS.
