"Giving Hope, Sharing Smiles", Lamoiyan kicks off advocacy program to mark 25 years in business

Filipino-owned Lamoiyan Corporation kicks off advocacy program to mark 25 years in business.  

Dubbed “Project Silver” as part of its 25th anniversary celebration with the theme

“Giving Hope, Sharing Smiles.”

Last March 3 through Lamoiyan Corporation’s community project, “Adopt-a-Barangay,” hundreds of residents of Barangay 73 at the PNR Compound in Caloocan City received free medical and dental services which aims to increase the awareness in promoting proper oral care and in treating head lice.

“Starting this month, Lamoiyan Corporation is celebrating its 25th year in the business. Project Silver is actually one way of thanking our consumers for all the years they have been supporting our company. So it is but right that we do a medical-dental mission like this to really give back to them what we have received for the past years,” Lamoiyan Corporation Assistant Vice President for New Business Development Peter Paul Ang said in his message.

During the event held at the community's covered court, residents participated in the oral health education, diet counseling, lecture on head lice and tooth brushing drill led by teams from both Lamoiyan Corporation and the Kalookan City Dental Society.

The people also benefited with free distribution of toothbrush and toothpaste, fluoride application, tooth extraction, and anti-lice treatment and shampoo.

Based on the survey of the Department of Education, toothache and lice infestation are among the top three reasons why public school children absent themselves from their classes mainly because of ignorance or inability to buy toothpaste or anti-lice shampoo.

Given that these problems still exist, Lamoiyan Corporation, according to Ang, is firm in its resolve to find a solution to these problems through its very own products—the first Filipino-made toothpaste Hapee  and Licealiz shampoo—which are made affordable yet world class in quality.

Edgar Erice, Vice Mayor Caloocan City (5th from right); and James Lim, Customer Development Officer, Lamoiyan Corporation (6th from right). 

“We are very thankful to Lamoiyan Corporation for choosing our community as one of the beneficiaries for their anniversary outreach campaign. It's really a big help for my constituents. We are very happy indeed,” Brgy. 73 Chairman Joven Llena said.

For its part, as a trade partner of Lamoiyan Corporation and in helping select the community to adopt for Project Silver in their area of distribution, Fast Trax Corporation (FTC) Supervisor Hans Castro stressed: 

“We are also happy  to be part of this very meaningful and noble project. It’s really an honor for us to be a partner of Lamoiyan Corporation in its continued commitment of serving the Filipino people.”

FTC, being the exclusive distributor of Lamoiyan products in Metro Manila, and other 17 regional trade partners of the toothpaste manufacturer, are set to conduct other medical-dental missions in 24 more communities nationwide until June of this year.

“We are just beginning with a single step. Hopefully with this project, more and more people will become aware of proper hygiene, be it keeping their teeth or hair clean,” Ang said.

For the Graduates Reaping the Fruits of Hard Work : Philips tips its hat to the graduates

Tweet

Work hard and you will be able to reap the fruits of your labor in due time. Remember, there is no such thing as an easy way to success. Everything can be achieved through hard work and patience.

You can reap the fruit of all those pressures and celebrate the achievements of such hard work.

Especially, for the students,  graduation is the momentous event that marks both a bittersweet ending and a beautiful beginning. Everybody looks forward to the day they cross the finish line of a long, hard fought journey in education. It is a time to reflect and commend everything one has been through to get to that point.

For all the hard work and effort that the students of your family put in all these years, Philips offers these suggestions on how to reward them this graduation season:

For the little ones who are ready to be the big kids.

It’s always a beautiful sight to see your son, daughter, niece or nephew outgrow their baby steps and take a big kid’s step to their future. To make that moment even more special, why not reward the young ones with a big kid gadget? 

Philips GoGEAR SoundDOT

The Philips GoGEAR SoundDOT is ideal for introducing a whole new world of music to the kids. An mp3 player designed for convenience, it is equipped with LED and sound indicators for navigation. The player is a flash drive in itself that allows for easy file transfer without cables. It also includes a built-in clip for hands-free use, and will attract your kids’ curious eyes with its wide range of colors. Moreover, users can enjoy up to 6 hours of music playback.

For the fashion savvy graduate 

CitiScape Downtown 

CitiScape Shibuya 

CitiScape St. Germain 

For the fashion expert of the family feel, Philips offers its CitiScape Collection. Featuring unique fusions of fashionable design and high quality audio, CitiScape headphones come with 40mm drivers that deliver clear, natural and balanced sound all the time.

If the artsy graduate takes inspiration from the urban backdrop of New York City, Philips recommends the CitiScape Downtown. Meanwhile, the Philips CitiScape St. Germain is tailor-made for the romantic and chic daughter or niece. And for the anime-loving, J-Pop and J-Rock loyalists of the family, Philips offers the specially-designed CitiScape Shibuya.

For the budding adventurers waiting to see the world 

Philips Shoqbox

Whether your son or nephew is graduating from high school or college, their thirst for adventure and the outdoors is likely to be evident—especially during the summer right after graduation. Philips suggests a worthwhile companion for camping, hiking or casual beach trips with the Philips Shoqbox.

A small speaker packed with big sound, the Shoqbox is portable, splash-proof and drop-proof. It carries powerful twin speaker drivers that deliver big sound that doesn’t crack. Operating on Bluetooth technology, it allows users to stream music from any Bluetooth device. It is meant to withstand the roughness of the outdoors—a reliable travel buddy for budding adventurers.

For the sound aficionado about to bid school goodbye 

Fidelio L1 

Fidelio M1 

For the audiophile graduates who are very particular about sound, Philips has a ready suggestion: the high fidelity Philips Fidelio M1 and L1.

Powerful vented and pre-tilted neodymium drivers provide solid sound production for the L1, bringing a controlled bass and a transparent mid-range. Its semi-open back architecture also serves to provide more natural and uncolored sound that’s very close to the original source. Meanwhile, the M1, which is primarily intended for outdoor or on-the-go listening, provides comfort and an overall sophisticated flair in its design. Sound also resonates well from the M1 due to its acoustic seal that’s built into the internal chamber to preserve sound details.

For the laid back yet sophisticated homebody 

Philips SoundRing DS3880W

Almost every family has a resident homebody or all around laid back member that appreciates the art of staying home rather than a night out. That son or daughter poured in countless hours of studying and sleepless nights from the comfort of his or her bedroom without fail all these years. For your young homebody, Philips offers the Philips SoundRing DS3880W.

Within its bold, spherical design, the Philips SoundRing houses a technology that produces natural and immersive sound. It is also equipped with Apple's AirPlay, allowing users to wirelessly stream their iTunes collections straight to the SoundRing. Furthermore, users can also charge their Apple devices through the USB port located at the charging base.

On their Graduation Day, pay tribute to the family members whom you’ve seen grow to become marvelous and learned individuals over the years. As you do so, remember that seeing them walk on stage for that diploma is a triumph both on your part, as parents who have endured and sacrificed much for their education and for them who did just as much.

They too deserve to reap the fruits of their hard work.

Jason Fernandez makes TV acting debut

Former Rivermaya frontman Jason Fernandez makes TV acting debut.

In previous interviews, former Rivermaya frontman Jason Fernandez admitted being abandoned by his Cypriot father at a young age. In fact, after his stint in the band, he flew to Cyprus to meet his father.

This Holy Week, Jason was tapped by CBN Asia to be one of the lead stars of their Good Friday presentation – Tanikala presents Ama Namin, which also stars Mike Tan, Diva Montalba, and Tricia Amper. It will air this March 29, 5 p.m., on GMA 7.

Jason can very well relate to his role Arthur, an artist whose father had to leave him to work abroad when he was very young.

“The role is something very close to home,” adds Jason. “I hope people will be blessed, and inspired with this special Lenten Presentation.”

The episode talks about the lives of three friends whose lives were greatly affected by their respective relationships with their fathers.

Ama Namin is written by Icko Gonzales, Don Gonzales and Gin Sardea and is directed by Icko Gonzales, John Valdez-Tan, and Derrek Adapon.
