Manila Water Philippine Ventures, Water.org; and WaterLinks pool their resources together to connect at least 1,500 low-income families to the piped water system of Laguna Water by September 2017.

The joint project dubbed as Water Connect and will be piloted in Laguna Province, aims to support Filipino families who do not have enough means to gain access to reliable water source. The project which aims to provide access to clean water supply will not only ensure good health and safety but will also promote community organizing as well as provide technical advice and financial services to targeted marginalized communities.

Spearheading this project are three experts in the water industry namely: Manila Water Philippine Ventures, Water.org, and WaterLinks. Manila Water Philippine Ventures is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ayala-led Manila Water whose mission is to provide the water supply and used water management requirements of geographies outside Metro Manila. Meanwhile, Water.org is an international non-profit organization that has positively transformed more than five million lives around the world through access to safe water and sanitation. WaterLinks is a fully independent, non-profit organization that facilitates Water Operator Partnerships in the Asia-Pacific region and catalyzes efficiency improvements to enhance and expand access to urban water and sanitation services.

Microfinance institutions will also be tapped to provide further assistance to families who would want to be part of this initiative.

Kris Aquino, well known talk show host, actress, producer, entrepreneur, product endorser, and writer , goes full force against wound infection with Fucidin®. 

Health talks with theme "Moms unite against wound infection" was held on Tuesday, May 2 at the Ascott Hotel, Bonifacio Global City. An intimate gathering of mom experts and doctors share their experiences on children, wounds and bacterial infection.

Kris Aquino

Kris is well known as a celebrity mother who cares for her sons’ health and wellbeing. “I have two boys and when they get a cut or a wound, I clean it with soap and water for 15 seconds. Then, I apply Fucidin® agad,” she says. “Fucidin® is part of our wound care kit!”

Children are exposed to different types of wounds and scrapes because of their daily activities. Even in the most harmless-looking places, no matter how hard parents try to protect them, they can still get hurt. 

Moms need to make sure the wound doesn’t get infected. Infection occurs when bacteria enters the wound through a break on one’s skin. Bacteria may spread and lead to more serious diseases. Usually, the immediate response is to wash a wound well with soap and water. But cleaning may not be enough. It is also essential to apply a topical antibiotic like Fucidin® at the first sign of wound infection.

Fusidic acid/sodium fusidate Fucidin® is a powerful antibiotic that is clinically proven against wound infection. It is fast-acting, working on the infection 2 minutes upon application and deep-penetrating, reaching the skin’s deepest layer 30 minutes after application. It also helps prevent bacteria from spreading.

Fucidin® comes in two variants. Fucidin® cream is ideal for exposed parts of the body like the face and hands, while Fucidin® ointment is ideal for dry, scaly or cracked lesions.

Like Kris, stock up on Fucidin® and don’t take chances. Join the fight against wound infection! Fucidin® is available in leading drugstores nationwide.

Fucidin® is from LEO Pharma, a Danish pharmaceutical company with a mission to help people achieve healthy skin. LEO Pharma is the pioneer in the development of fusidic acid. It has a wide range of products that are marketed in over 100 countries. LEO Pharma has more than 100 years of trusted heritage worldwide.

Fusidic acid/sodium fusidate is the generic name of Fucidin®. Fucidin® is available in leading drugstores nationwide.

If symptoms persist, please consult your doctor.
