TV Host Iya Villania-Arellano enjoys an allergy-free active lifestyle with Claritin Reditabs

Actress and TV host Iya Villania-Arellano is physically active and always involve at athletics and sports. 

Currently seen in Sunday variety show "Sunday All Stars" and magazine show "Taste Buddies", Iya even finds herself more active and adventurous now that she's together with her hubby Drew. 

Adventurous souls don’t like to be bogged down by anything, not even an allergy attack. Knowing what makes you allergy on things, but symptoms usually can be prevented or controlled with major improvement in quality of life.

Iya is still not immune to allergy attacks. Iya said she suffers from allergy, but she still takes life by the horns and doesn’t let anything get in the way. 

“I believe allergies shouldn’t be an excuse to forgo an active lifestyle. The great outdoors is fun! There’s so much you can discover about yourself, your loved ones and the world when you’re out there. It was when I realized this that I decided to do everything I can to not let allergies control what I can and cannot do. I decided that I should always be ready,” Iya said. 

She is in the gym at least four times a week, does a mixture of core kinesis, Plana Forma and Power Plate. She also trains regularly to prepare for a roster of challenging triathlon events this year. 

“This active lifestyle is a choice I had to make. After seeing how certain foods, combined with a sedentary lifestyle, affect my health and mood, I decided to take charge of my health. I definitely feel better than I did before,” she said. 

“It catches up with me during the most unexpected moments. Once when I was on a trip, my allergy broke out because of pollen and I wasn’t able to act on it because I had no water with me. Allergy attacks strike even at home when I play with Drew’s pet. Good thing, I am now always ready by bringing a pack of Claritin Reditabs wherever I go,” she said.

Loratadine (Claritin Reditabs) is the same powerful Claritin millions have trusted in a new and revolutionary format.

“Just peel off the foil and pop it in your mouth. This new and convenient format can be taken anytime, anywhere. No water needed!

This non-drowse variant orally dissolves in seconds and leaves you with a fresh minty taste. And the effects last for 24 hours,” Iya said.

“Living a healthy and active lifestyle is possible in spite of allergy attacks. Eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and of course, always be ready with a pack of New Claritin Reditabs,” she added.

Epson's Projector Market Share Grows by 6 points to Capture Market Leadership

Epson Maintains Global Leadership for 14 Years 

FutureSource Consulting, the leading research and forecasting company in consumer electronics, entertainment, and education markets, recently confirmed Epson's 14th consecutive year of global leadership in the projector category.

In an independent 3rd party study in the US made by 

Radius Global Market Research of nearly 900 participants, 

9 out of 10 people prefer images from Epson projectors 

compared to other brands.

Here in the Philippines, a growth spurt of 6 percentage points enabled the Epson brand to capture market leadership in the country, leading the industry with a commanding 31 % Market Share.

Lyn Lizarondo, EPC Product Manager for Projectors

Lyn Lizarondo, Epson Philippines Corporation's (EPC) Product Manager for Projectors, explained :

"As the World's No.1 brand in projectors, Epson pioneered a campaign to inform customers about Color Brightness -  an important measurement of red, green and blue light projection measured in lumens. Prior to this, lumens only referred to white brightness. Because of our very own 3LCD technology, Epson delivers the same high level of Color Brightness and White Brightness to deliver vivid and realistic colors .. unlike 1·chip projectors that deliver a color brightness of only 1/3 of their white lumens.

For example 1· chip projectors with 2100 lumens usually only produce 700 lumens of color; Epson's 3LCD projectors, on the other hand, produce 2100 white and 2100 color lumens equally."

Over 3,500 educ stakeholders come together to support K to 12

Tweet

Over 3,500 educators, parents, and students from the National Capital Region (NCR), Region IV-A (CALABARZON), and Region III (Central Luzon) gathered at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) to celebrate the milestones of the K to 12 Program and to express support for its continued implementation. 

President Benigno S. Aquino III underscored the importance of collective efforts in education, saying, “Sama-sama nating isusulong ang sinimulan nating K to 12 Program; at isang bansa nating iaangat ang antas ng edukasyon sa Pilipinas.”

Education Secretary Br. Armin Luistro FSC said, “Kailangan nating siguraduhin na ang iiwan natin sa ating mga kababayan lalung-lalo na ang kabataan ay ang mga reporma na magbibigay sa kanila ng kahandaan.”

“Walang hamon na hindi nahahanapan ng solusyon; walang hamon na hindi nagkakaroon ng sagot. Ang pusong Pinoy ay nakikita natin sa ating mga guro na handa para sa ating kabataan,” he added. “Bago mag-umpisa ang isang programa ng gobyerno, naghahanda na tayo para rito.” 

“Sa atin pong pagsusulong ng K to 12 reform na pang-limang taon na po, marami ang nagsasabi na hindi raw handa ang Pilipinas. Wala namang pangmatagalan na reporma na walang oposisyon. Kung may oposisyon, kasama ito sa demokrasya. Pinapakinggan po natin ang lahat ng boses, pero ang mga boses na kailangan nating isulong ay ang mga boses na para sa kabataan,” Luistro said. 

“Ito na po ang huling milya sa ating marathon. Kitang-kita ko na po ang bunga; kitang-kita ko na ang finish line. Ipaglalaban natin na ang Pilipino, kapag sama-sama, kayang-kaya natin. Napatunayan na po natin iyan,” he added. 

DepEd Undersecretary Rizalino Rivera said, “Marami pa ang kailangang gawin pero sa tulong ng bawat isa sa atin, magiging magaan ang ating pagtahak sa landas ng K to 12 para sa isang magandang kinabukasan sa ating kabataan.”

National Youth Commission Assistant Secretary Dingdong Dantes stated NYC’s support to the K to 12 Program, saying, “Bilang komisyon na tumatayo at nagtataguyod ng karapatan ng kabataan, naniniwala kami na ang programang ito ay magbibigay daan sa mas matibay na pundasyon ng edukasyon sa ating mga kabataan.”

“Ang edukasyon ay responsibilidad ng lahat at hindi lamang ng iisang tao,” Dantes added. 

With the title “Sa K to 12: Kayang-kaya, sama-sama,” the event aims to engage education stakeholders in strengthening everyone’s commitment in education for Filipino learners.

The K to 12 experience

“Kung gusto natin ng pagbabago, mag-umpisa tayo sa kabataan, mag-umpisa tayo sa edukasyon,” said Arien Lein Ibardo, an incoming Grade 10 student in a public school. “The K to 12 program embarks on a new hope for the Filipino youth.” 

Rouen Dizon, the father of a pilot SHS graduate, said the K to 12 Program benefited his son who now manages their automative business. He said, “Sa K to12, mapapanindigan ang sinasabing "Negosyo, Kolehiyo, Trabaho." Sa edad na 19 ay kumikita na ang anak ko dahil sa bokasyon na inaral niya. Nasa kaniya na lamang kung nanaisin pa niyang magkolehiyo. Ito ay higit na praktikal sapagkat ang mga mag-aaral ay dadaan sa magandang training, at the same time, nakabase sa kapasidad at interes nila ang kanilang pag-aaralan.”

He added, “Ito ang naging epektibo sa anak ko at alam kong magiging epektibo rin ito sa lahat. At sa susunod, alam kong marami pang kwento ang magpapatunay nito.”
