Mother's Day surprise for Camille Prats

Tweet

Nathan surprised her mom Camille Prats, as always. He always want to make her Mommy happy.

For this special day for moms, kids love surprising their mothers on Mother’s Day. Some surprise them with portraits of their moms, some give homemade gifts, some even attempt to cook for them. Some can say that their surprise was their Mother’s Day card printed in a national newspaper for millions to see.

Camille Prats

Weeks before Mother’s Day, while Camille was busy shooting for her TV series, Nathan visited important people in Camille’s life and asked them to write special messages for his mom. 

Nathan was able to get messages from his grandparents, his ‘Nongnong’ John Prats, Isabel Oli and sister Mimi and put on a card of giant proportions.

John Prats, Camille’s brother and Nathan’s ninong, shared “Nathan loves surprising his Mom - kahit nga walang occasion.” Last year, Nathan surprised his mom with flowers during her talk show. 

The card he had signed came out on Mother’s Day in a national newspaper and billboard with the help of Bonakid Pre-School which Nathan is the endorser of. 

Aubrey Inigo, Senior Product Manager of Bonakid Pre-School, said that when they found out that Nathan wanted to surprise his mom, they wanted to help him make it as special as they could. Together, Nathan and Bonakid Pre-School worked to make this Mother’s Day the happiest day for Camille.

Safeguard officially launches Derma Sense

Tweet

Safeguard introduces Derma Sense, its first-ever premium line of acne solution products. The brand unveils this latest innovation in collaboration with the Philippine Educational Theatre Association (PETA) in a theater production dubbed “Hashtag: Pimples Anonymous,” an “informance” or information performance that explores teens’ stories of physical and psychological struggles against pimples and how they’re able to overcome these situations.

As part of its commitment in promoting health and hygiene education among Filipino families, Safeguard officially launches Derma Sense to help teens face up against acne.

Safeguard Derma Sense leverages Safeguard’s expertise in skin health and antimicrobial cleansing with the launch of a dermatologically tested line of face and body bars and washes that are proven to help visibly reduce acne in 89% of users. 

“Bacteria are a critical root cause of acne and the first step in managing mild to moderate acne is keeping skin protected from acne-causing bacteria through regular cleansing of the skin using an antimicrobial soap,” shares Dr. Ma. Pilar Lagdameo-Leuenberger, Fellow of Philippine Dermatological Society.

“Safeguard Derma Sense recognizes that the effects of acne can be more than just physical, and that the brand has a role to play in empowering consumers, especially Moms and their teens, in facing up to acne,” Maro Torres, Brand Manager for Safeguard, said. 

Acne vulgaris, also known as acne or red spots, is the most common skin disease worldwide. In a white paper released by the Skin Health Alliance, prevalence of self-reported acne among individuals age 15-25 is documented to be as high as 91%. The study further stresses possible emotional and psychological effects, to quote: “There is probably no single disease which causes more psychic trauma, more maladjustment between parents and children, more general insecurity and feeling of inferiority and greater sums of psychic suffering than does acne vulgaris.” 

Dr. Susan Estanislao, Counseling Psychologist from the De La Salle University Manila, thus reinforces “the need for creating an empowering atmosphere that will help teens overcome these struggles.”

Safeguard Derma Sense advocates the adoption of a regular cleansing regimen with a well-tolerated antimicrobial soap that helps reduce levels of skin bacteria and play a part in early acne management. More importantly, it commits to helping empower parents and teens #FaceUp to acne through resources that aim to pioneer the understanding on the causes, consequences and potential treatment of acne.
