Every mother deserves the best!

Tweet

If love were personified, it would undoubtedly be in the form of a mother. Mothers are unfathomably strong, unconditionally loving, endlessly caring, deeply affectionate, and so much more. They sacrifice so much for their families and do the work of twenty people all by themselves, seeking nothing in return. Indeed, mothers are the epitome of love.

This Mother’s Day, it’s time to show you mom some appreciation for all the hard work and love she’s given throughout the years. Mother’s don’t only deserve something good – they deserve the very best. For the past 50 years, Goldilocks has been the go-to bakeshop for beautiful and delightful cakes, and is truly the best choice when it comes to expressing gratitude and affection. For this very special occasion, the country’s number one bakeshop would like to present mothers with a selection of special Mother’s Day Cakes fit for sharing the love.

Choose between three specially made cakes: a sweet Strawberry Delight cake topped with fresh Strawberries, a delicious Tres Leches Cake topped with white chocolate and icing, and for those who love the classics, the best-selling Black Forest Cake in the shape of a heart. Moms everywhere will surely love the deliciously sweet treats at Goldilocks, and will appreciate the equally sweet gesture.

At the heart of Epson’s projectors is 3LCD technology, which enables Epson projectors to deliver the most vibrant and true-to-life images with up to 3 times higher colour brightness compared to 1-chip DLP projectors in the market.In contrast to 3-chip 3LCD projectors, 1-chip DLP projectors use a rotating color wheel that spins at a rapid speed, only displaying colors sequentially, which can result in color break-up or the “rainbow effect”.

In-photo (L-R): Water.org Country Director Carlos Ani, WaterLinks Executive Director Mai Flor, WaterConnect Team Leader Bonifer Bautista, Laguna Water Sustainable Development Manager Eunice Christine Ricaforte, and MWPV South Luzon Regional Business Cluster Head and Laguna Water General Manager Melvin John Tan.

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.

Join Kris Aquino and Fucidin® in the Fight Against Wound Infection

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.
