Giving Momentum to the Empowered Filipina

Celebrating your body, your mind, your choice 
The Filipina is one of the most empowered women in the world, with the Philippines ranking eighth out of 135 countries assessed by the 2012 Global Gender Gap Index of the World Economic Forum. This is the highest score the Philippines has attained in the last six years in terms of economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, health and survival, and political empowerment. 

The country tops educational attainment in terms of literacy and enrollment across all educational levels, as well as health and survival in terms of sexual ratio at birth and healthy life expectancy. However, a gender gap is seen in terms of economic participation and opportunity, specifically on earned income, senior positions, and leadership levels. 

Continuing the momentum of the empowered Filipina is an advocacy of DKT Reproductive Health Inc. through its Trust reproductive health educational programs and Filipinay, its ongoing campaign to provide women with informed reproductive health choices. To celebrate women’s month, Filipinay will provide free consultations on reproductive health and family planning on March 6, 8, 9, 13, 15, 16, 20, 22, 27, and 29 at the EDSA, Baclaran, Doroteo Jose, and Roosevelt stations of LRT 1. 


“Women have always had a primary role in Philippine society, but there is still much to improve, especially in providing women with access to information from which they can make responsible choices,” says Aileen Puzon, Product Manager of Filipinay. 

“While women are on equal footing in terms of education, this does not necessarily apply to information on the choices they can make about their bodies. We are one with all men and women in celebrating our successes for International Women’s Day, but we are also focused on our everyday task of reaching out, one Filipina at a time.” 

Filipinay is the trusted partner in family planning, empowering women with information to help them make responsible choices.

How to Get our Man to Care for his Mane

Beautiful, healthy hair just gives a woman that extra look of radiance, health and feminine beauty. Not to mention long, gorgeous hair helps a woman maintain a youthful look well in to her later years.

As women, taking care of our hair comes naturally. Beauty is a privilege that we are blessed to have fun with, and hair care is only one part -- albeit a significant one -- of the equation. We bathe and cleanse and pamper our hair like it were our skin, our fitness, and our entire look for the day. It’s almost as natural as replenishing our body with water.

Hair is actually one of a woman's stronger's assets and attraction triggers for men. But how to get our man to care for his mane.

This intrinsic part of being a woman does not come so naturally to men. While men’s fashion and style have evolved over the centuries just as equally with women’s, for the most part, looking good seemingly remains a hobby of the vain or metrosexual. It’s not about stereotypifying, it’s about a fact: how many men will openly admit to poring over scalp and hair troubles?

This is where women can step in. Sure, there are magazines, websites and blogs for men to peruse when it comes to maintaining their mane. But perhaps a little nudge from their woman can be encouraging enough for them not to shy away from genuinely caring for their hair. Not to mention, it’s a great ego boost, too.

Start by talking to him about hair -- every now and then. If you are still getting to know your guy, daily routines make for an interesting topic of conversation. Try to find out how much he spends on his looks, but of course, do so subtly. Does he visit the barber or salon often, and which does he prefer? If he is rocking a semi-bald Derek Ramsey look at the moment, does he have any plans of switching to the Justin Biebr do anytime soon? Is he one for conditioning, or is he more of the wash-and-wear type?

Be careful not to steer the conversation the way you would with a girl friend. The last thing you want to do is to freak him out! Keep it light and subtle. If he is the type to find it uncomfortable to discuss ‘beauty routines,’ look for opportunities to tease him about his hairdo every now and then. One thing to remember is never to put him down or make him feel small about it -- men are sensitive about their abilities, so watch out.

The best way to go would be to complement him for his current ‘do, and ask where he went to have his hair done. The idea is to talk about it like it were any other subject and try to get him comfortable as much as possible.

You can then follow that with the thoughtful act of observing his shopping list when you go out. What are the basic items he picks up at the drugstore? When you go shopping together, where does he like to frequent - is it the gadget hub, the music shop or the department store? Know what he likes, and then surprise him once with all these essentials that make him who he is. You could add an item or two as well that you think he will appreciate.

One good gift to throw in would be the naturally-made Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion. Though primarily known as nature’s remedy to hair loss, Novuhair works just as equally as a preventative solution. In fact, amazing side effects include maintaining the hair’s natural luster and preventing premature graying.

There’s no going wrong when it comes to a product of Mother Nature. Novuhair is made of herbal ingredients such as moringa oleifera, panax ginseng, virgin coconut oil, and the essential oils of rosemary and peppermint. Collectively these ingredients help increase nutrients and improve blood circulation to the scalp, detoxifying it of its impurities and caring for its overall health, including that of the hair.

Available in a 200mL bottle, Novuhair is best used after shampoo. Simply massage it onto the wet scalp and then rinse. Alternatively, it can be used as a styling leave-on that you can wear throughout the day.
First discovered by beauty and style icon Fanny Serrano, Novuhair has since been picked up by other celebrities for its proven effectivity. Its latest endorser is Mr. World 2012 runner-up Andrew Wolf, the British-Filipino hunk also known for his modeling, acting and athletic chops (Wolf is a member of the Philippine Volcanoes, too). If anything, the newly proclaimed NovuMan is one reason your man might want to give Novuhair a try!

Hair care is not rocket science. It’s part of ourselves, and part of our bodies, and knowing how to care for our mane need not be a symbol of vanity. It isn’t for women, and it certainly need not be for men.

Novuhair is available at all Mercury Drug, Watsons, Rose Pharmacy, South Star Drug and Manson Drug, Metro Gaisano Pharmacies, KCC Malls and at JCenter Mall in Cebu, 
and online on www.regaloservice.com.

Isabelle de Leon with her debut album "LoveZone" under PolyEast Records

PolyEast Records introduces Isabelle de Leon with a debut album “LoveZone”

Former award winning child actress Isabella de Leon, known to many as "Duday" in the sitcom Daddy Didodu, is now a lovely lady, super talented singer / songwriter. She writes all the music and lyrics of songs in her album LoveZone. Isabelle de Leon, heart-warming and lyrically clever is with a debut album under PolyEast Records, laden with elements of folk, rock and pop into her unique signature sound.

Music has always been a part of me as a kid – it has kept me going. I write songs to tell stories, I sing because I want to share it.”
So beautiful, refreshing and awesome talented and now poised to be the next big PolyEast Records talent, Isabelle is out to prove herself as an artist with an album that has as much substance as her colorful young life experiences, formidable songwriting chops and prodigious skill with her instruments.

I'm really so happy to see her now, the one I really admire during her child days. Gladly we meet and had talks with her as casual but amazingly, her voice is so beautiful and she's brilliantly talented girl. She sings while playing the guitar and dance as everyone listening feel the beat. 
During the presscon/blogcon held at the PolyEast Records office last March 5,  she candidly answered questions from the press and bloggers. She told us that she begin voice workshop, learning different musical instruments since after the TV and movie experiences, that was when she was 12 years old. And now, as a lady, writing all songs and giving music to all she writes. 18-year-old Isabelle continues to write songs from her heart and plays several musical instruments as inspired by her musician dad who taught her to play the guitar, bass, drums, piano and harmonica.

Her sound is worldly, a fusion of not only her upbringing but also exhibits the diversity of her influences like The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, the Carpenters, Led Zeppelin, Steven Tyler, Robbie Williams, U2, Coldplay, Michael Jackson, Katy Perry, Adele, Enya and Noel Cabangon. And she loves filipina rock singer Sampaguita.

She describes the radio single “1 Week To Move On” as “dealing with the raw emotions around heartbreak” all infused in a melodic pop-rock hook. 
Her guitar-driven narrative “Feelingero” fits in gentle humor in young love…and she wrote it because of love experiences of her best friends while “Friend Zone” speaks of unrequited love.

Isabelle goes playfully poetic yet inspirational in “Alice Wonders” and “Pag-ibig Ko’y Sayo” speaks of love that is unconditional.

“Magtatago ako sa init ng iyong yakap” is the line that says it all in her comforting track “Sa Yakap Mo”.

Isabelle shared two things that are essential in an artist, the ability to relate to people’s daily lives and the power to express emotions in new and powerful ways.

“I want to sing songs I have a real connection to. Songs that have moved me or those who’ll be listening to my music ,  be it love in all its grandeur or love lost. Isn’t it a relief when you hear songs that say exactly what you feel?”
LoveZone was released this February under PolyEast Records.

Here's the Track List of LoveZone :

1.  FEELINGERO
2.  1 WEEK TO MOVE ON
3.  ALICE WONDERS
4.  PAG-IBIG KO'Y SA YO
5.  SA YAKAP MO
6.  FRIEND ZONE

Checkout some videos I captured and uploaded to Youtube. Thanks and enjoy the wonderful world of Isabelle ! 



“LoveZone” is now available in the market released by PolyEast Records for only P200. Special thanks to Pony, Hairshaft Salon and Outdoor Products.

Unitel took a big risk when they chose young theater and TV actress Tippy Dos Santos to play the young romantic lead in the musical movie I DoBidooBidoo, alongside Sam Concepcion. The movie is the film debut of Tippy.

Tippy is nominated as Best New Female Actress by the Star Awards for Movies for her outstanding portrayal in the movie.
