NutriAsia kids pay tribute to hardworking frontliners with Salamat BayaNAI program

Tweet

Through challenging times, NutriAsia’s own frontliners have remained dedicated to keeping shelves stocked with Filipinos’ favorite and trusted food products. In recognition of this, children of NutriAsia employees are honoring and further protecting them through their Salamat BayaNAI program.

Salamat BayaNAI is a project under Batang NutriAsia, a corporate program of NutriAsia for children of its employees. 

Launched by Batang NutriAsia, an in-house summer program for children of NutriAsia employees, the Salamat BayaNAI program saw 3,800 face shields assembled and donated to NutriAsia merchandisers and employees for their protection. Despite the risks, these merchandisers served as the company’s front line in ensuring supermarkets and grocery stores remain stocked with NutriAsia products throughout the community quarantine, while employees from departments such as Human Resources, Total Quality Management, R&D, and Supply Chain also continued to report to work on site, making sure that all operations remained consistent throughout the situation.

Face shields were chosen for both their practicality and the protection they impart against COVID-19 and other diseases.

Children write messages of encouragement to NutriAsia’s own frontliners

The program also aims to give these employees emotional support, as the Batang NutriAsia kids added heartwarming handwritten thank-you notes to the frontliners.

“We want these frontliners to know that their work is appreciated, and their bravery is not forgotten,” said Sabine Flaminiano, Salamat BayaNAI project lead and a Batang NutriAsia graduate in her own right.

 “Seeing the reactions of the store merchandisers and employees as they received our care packages was memorable—as their hard work and sacrifice are valued and recognized, this had brought big smiles and a boost to their morale.”

The MERIT of Batang NutriAsia

Batang NutriAsia is a corporate program for children of NutriAsia employees who want to know more about their parents’ work. The Salamat BayaNAI program is a culmination of Batang NutriAsia’s MERIT (Malasakit, Excellence, Respect, Ingenuity with Integrity, and Teamwork) pillars, especially Malasakit as it raised awareness of the need to care for others.

Through the Salamat BayaNAI program, NutriAsia children were able to send 3,800 face shields and thank you notes to NutriAsia employees and merchandisers.

NutriAsia Human Resources Group Head Jun Corpus shares that through Batang NutriAsia, they are able to teach children universally critical work and life values to help build a generation of values-led, principled Filipinos set for a brighter future.

By starting and executing initiatives, programs, and projects that involve the family members of NutriAsia employees, the values of the company are further strengthened across the entire family, proving they are truly foundational, action-oriented, can drive results, and ideal in any situation.

Founded in 1991, NutriAsia Group is a powerhouse of beloved, timeless, and iconic Filipino food brands that include Datu Puti, Silver Swan, Mang Tomas, UFC, Papa Catsup, Jufran; UFC Cooking Sauces and Meal Mixes; Golden Fiesta Cooking Oil; and Locally Blended Juice Drink and Merci Buco Coco water.

The ‘New Normal’ for Fitness Enthusiasts- SFL launches 30-day Online Fitness Program

Tweet

The COVID-19 pandemic forced millions of people to stay at home to prevent the spread of the virus. 

For fitness enthusiasts, this situation also means having no place to workout properly and regularly since most gyms have shut down indefinitely.  

In the past couple of months, we’ve seen that the e-commerce market for home fitness equipment is experiencing tremendous growth as people are going online to buy gym equipment—some are even being sold by fitness facilities. People have also been downloading workout apps or browse the web for home workout tutorials. 

Despite these extra steps, however, it is still not enough to ensure that they achieve their fitness goals. Most online workout routines are too common that they do not match the intensity and nutritional diet that every individual need. 

Spending too much money on gym equipment without proper knowledge of what kind of workout they require, on the other hand, makes these fitness tools practically useless without the guidance of professional gym trainers.

Fortunately, it’s not all doom and gloom, fitness facilities are now bringing their classes online!

Champions Go Virtual

Santé Fitness Lab (SFL), a premier one-stop fitness center that offers holistic training programs, created a 30-day online program called “Live More, Do More 30-Day Program,” the total fitness and nutritional bundle, which combines expertly designed easy-to-follow fitness and mobility programs with the benefits of the superfood, Barley by Sante International.

The “Live More, Do More 30-Day Program” will help people get the essential benefits of training in a fitness facility  without the need for gym equipment and will provide videos for easy reference. SFL’s team of coaches, from licensed physical therapists to sports nutritionists designed the program which will address specific fitness and health goals. Experts are also available to guide you on how to maximize the program.

The program is carefully designed by fitness experts and is backed by science. It also includes a Flexifit program to enhance mobility, a basic nutritional guide and a Consultation call with an SFL expert and 1 Box of Sante Pure Barley.

“This initiative is one of our many ways to help our customers reach their best-fit selves while staying at home. If our customers cannot come to our facilities to work out then we will be the ones to reach out to them, especially during this uncertain time when we all need to,” said Clarize Lucindo, General Manager of SFL. 

Home of Champions

SFL is living up to its tagline, “Home of Champions,” as they aim to bring out the Champion in everyone- not only In Sports, but also in Life. SFL believes that succeeding in Life means taking charge of your Fitness and Health no matter the circumstance. For those in pain or would like to continue with their Physical therapy, those in need of Nutritional guidance and or need 1 on 1 guidance on their fitness programs, 1 on 1 online services are also offered.

SFL is at par with the country’s premium fitness brands with its complete top of the line and Olympic-graded equipment for cardio, strength, speed, and agility. Unlike any other gyms, the difference is in their expert programming and coaching, as well as their innovative recovery and rehabilitation facilities and programs.

With SFL’s distinct programming system, where baseline assessment and progress monitoring are critical and, scientific principles and methods are applied by coaches, you can ensure that you will achieve your goals safely and effectively as everything is well thought of and planned for, whether it’s for jumpstarting your fitness, weight loss, recovering from an injury or training for your sports.
