For cooking passionate and all, here's why La Germania is the ideal kitchen helper

Tweet

Cooking has always been my passion,  and eating too. A passion for food involves a love of cooking, experimenting with food and recipes and coming up with tasty dishes. When I was a little girl I loved to cook, spending hours in the kitchen with my father, mostly because my mother does the marketing but my father did the cooking. Learning delicious traditional recipes, using authentic, seasonal, fresh ingredients and preparing everything from scratch.

Cooking is potentially one of the most relaxing and creative household tasks. For both experienced and first-time home cooks, preparing meals whether for themselves, their families or friends is even more pleasurable if they’re equipped with kitchen appliances that are well made and dependable.

Head of the family: not just a provider but a father

Tweet

Imagine working in a world where time seems to just past by and where almost everything changes instantly. Think of having to keep up with an environment where it costs a lot to stop or even slow down for a while. Sound taxing, right? What more of prioritizing the welfare of everybody in the household on top of it all. 

But every head of the family doesn’t mind about it. Fathers are said to be the pillars of our homes. They toil sun up to sun down to give our needs and desires.

Some of them go abroad with tears in their eyes because they will be physically separated from their families. However, there is a certain joy in their hearts knowing that they will be able to provide for their loved ones back home.

To honor these gallant paternal men and let them feel how extraordinary they are and important their sacrifices are for their families, Father’s Day has been a yearly universal event. As we mark again this special occasion on Sunday, June 18, 2017, our applause and recognition will never be enough to show them how grateful we are to have them in our lives. 

Our dads, together with our moms, take good care of us the moment we’re born. They are the ones who provide everything we need for our everyday lives. From infancy up to adulthood, they feed and clothe us. 

As we take our initial baby steps, our patriarchs guide and lead us in the right direction. When we stumble and fall, they assist us to rise and move on. In times of danger or any threat, they shield us from any harm.

All of these, they do out of unconditional love. Their selflessness, though, has its own toll. Working tirelessly could lead to high levels of stress constantly and problems not only mentally, but physically, too. So better watch out for the signs. 

Has tatay been constantly complaining about losing strands and strands of his hair every day? Or maybe has he been searching for a way on how to get them to grow back?

According to the hair loss statistics conducted by Statistic Brain in the year 2016, 40 percent of men experience noticeable mane vanishing as early as age 35. And as per the American Hair Loss Association, there are a couple of different factors that cause excessive hair fall, one being extreme degree of stress.

"Powers" ! New Kwentong Jollibee for Father’s Day puts the spotlight on ‘Super dads’

Tweet

In the eyes of children, their fathers are their first superheroes. This Father’s Day, Jollibee showcases this powerful truth in “Powers”, the latest addition to their hit Kwentong Jollibee series.

“We look-up to our fathers as superheroes because – though it may be unknown to them - they display amazing prowess and strength as they go about fulfilling their duties to their family,” said Francis Flores, Jollibee Global Brand Chief Marketing Officer and PH Marketing Head.

“In ‘Powers’, we teamed up again with our creative agency McCann Worldgroup Philippines in showcasing this super characteristic in a playful, creative manner by taking on a child’s perspective wherein dads are regarded as real-life superheroes. Our latest short film is our special tribute to all the fathers who take care and provide for their families to the best of their abilities,” shared Jollibee Brand Communications and PR Director Arline Adeva.

Watch the video here:

Directed by Filipino-Canadian filmmaker, Edber Mamisao, “Powers” tells the story of a young boy named Angelo who is mighty proud of his Dad whom we openly regard as his “Superhero’. In true Kwentong Jollibee fashion, the story takes an unexpected turn as it reveals the humble occupation of Angelo’s father that didn’t affect at all Angelo’s love, admiration and respect for him.

Mamisao’s video treatment also greatly contributed to the playful and fun superhero vibe of “Powers”. With an epic music score and cinematography treatment as seen in some of today’s trending superhero blockbuster movies plus clever and imaginative execution, “Powers” displays a fun yet equally heart-tugging side of the much-loved Kwentong Jollibee videos.

“Powers” simply, efficiently reminds us of the extraordinary love every father or father figure have for their children, making any son and daughter appreciate them as their number one real-life superhero. This Father’s Day, let “Powers” help us tap into our own super capabilities of giving thanks to the big man, our ultimate idol, our very own tatay.

Catch and share the powerful Kwentong Jollibee episode on Jollibee’s official Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/JollibeePhilippines/videos/1468065766572978/ and make Father’s Day super special and extra meaningful for all our superdads.

Happy Father's Day !
