The Big Move

Tweet

Boehringer Ingelheim Philippines Inc., through one of their Consumer Healthcare pillar brands, (Bisacodyl) Dulcolax launch The Big Move campaign held at the Ascott Hotel in Makati yesterday, March 17, 2014.

Boehringer Ingelheim Philippines Inc. aims to shed more light on constipation and how to treat this medical condition the right way.

Constipation is not the sort of medical condition that most people would want to talk about. In fact not many would admit that they have it. And in as much as they don’t want to talk about it, what many don’t know is that these sufferers have their own habits or routines that allow them to simply manage this silent troublemaker - but not really addressing it completely.

This event features two of the country’s well renowned talents – “The Sexy, Young Actress and Comedian” Ms. Angelica Panganiban and “The Dance Diva” and successful businesswoman, Ms. Regine Tolentino. The event was so fun having games with the media guests. 

Dulcolax aims to be more relevant to their silent sufferers by letting them share their experiences and how they deal with their constipation with the help of Dulcolax.

The event also features the Medical Manager for Consumer Healthcare of Boehringer Ingelheim, Dr. Melvin Pasay whose main goal is to de-mystify the myths and misconceptions surrounding constipation and the use of laxatives so that the silent sufferers understand that they need not suffer in silence more so suffer at all from constipation when Dulcolax is there. He also share information on Dulcolax as the brand that offers a full range of stimulant laxatives, from Tablets, Suppositories to Syrup that targets the colon, resulting to the stimulation of the colon, and softening of the stool.

This truly reinforces the expertise of Dulcolax given its efficacy and safety profiles and how it offers predictable results.2 No wonder it’s #1 in the market and has been present for more than 60 years, trusted by millions all over the world.

Furthermore, Dulcolax, through its brand manager, Ms. Jo-Ann Ramos also highlight Digital as their main platform to promote the activities for the Big Move Campaign as she steps on the stage.

“We are very excited to launch this campaign and to have both Ms. Angelica and Ms. Regine join our team. It will be an exciting time for us because we know how they can help us change millions of lives for the better. Now our sufferers need not suffer in silence. They now have someone to relate with whether they’re young go-getters or multi-tasking moms. All they need to do is to see what Angelica and Regine are doing or saying in our Facebook page, Colon Care PH and realize that there is a way to move on from constipation.

Both will offer tips, advice and many other things regarding management of constipation with Dulcolax, the Kontra Constipation Expert,” Ms. Jo-Ann Ramos shared about The Big Move Campaign. 

With this launch, no one needs to suffer constipation alone or in silence. Why wait? Why endure the hassles of constipation? Make the Big Move to Dulcolax, the Kontra Constipation Expert.

A Call to Win: Magsaysay Youth Essay Competition Launched

Tweet

The Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation (RMAF) launches its 2014 Ramon Magsaysay Youth Essay Competition (RMYEC) today with the essay theme “My Favorite Ramon Magsaysay Awardee: Servant Leadership Qualities That Inspire Me.”

Young Filipinos, age 15 to 24, are invited to join this competition, which will run until 30 June 2014. 

Reviving a ten-year-old tradition, RMAF launch this essay-writing competition, a part of the Foundation’s efforts to inspire the youth with living Asian heroes of change, and to encourage them to demonstrate the same kind of servant leadership manifested by President Ramon Magsaysay and the Magsaysay laureates. 

Ramon Magsaysay, who died in a tragic plane crash exactly 57 years ago today, was one of the most beloved presidents of the Philippines. Committed to his pursuit of the common man’s welfare and famously consistent in his practice of honest governance, President Magsaysay’s sudden and tragic death was deeply mourned by his people and by his admirers throughout the world. Fortunately, his legacy of servant leadership has been enshrined in the Ramon Magsaysay Award—now Asia’s premier prize and highest honor—which has been bestowed on remarkable individuals like him, for their greatness of spirit and transformative leadership in service to the peoples of Asia.

This year’s essay-writing theme focuses on the personal reflections of the young writer about a Magsaysay awardee of his/her choice, and the specific leadership qualities reflected in the chosen laureate’s life and work which are most personally inspiring.

The RMYEC has two categories:

Level 1 for youth between 15 and 18 years old;

Level 2 for youth between 19 and 24 years old. 

Contestants are required to register and submit their essays through the RMYEC online registration and submission portal. A contestant may register and submit an essay only once.

All essays submitted for the competition must be original, unpublished, written in English, and between 500-800 words in length. Work already published on any medium (including online magazines, blogs, etc.) may not be entered in the RMYEC. Essays which have won in previous contests may also not be entered. Deadline for the submission of entries is on June 30, 2014. 

Winners for each competition level will be announced at an appropriate awarding ceremony; they will also receive IT prizes (laptops, smartphones, and tablets) and have the special privilege of interacting with this year’s Ramon Magsaysay Awardees.

For further clarification, please contact Ms. Kiel Fernandez, RMAF Advocacy Officer, at 521-3166 to 75 loc. 189, or email inquiries to rmyec@rmaf.or.ph.
