Tackling motherhood’s hard and unspoken realities at MommaCon 2021

Tweet

MommaCon takes on how to mom online in this digital age and more for its second year

MANILA, Philippines -- Created and organized by award-winning integrated marketing experience agency TeamAsia, MommaCon continues to give women and moms a safe and collaborative space to share best practices and learn about topics on womanhood and motherhood. Following its successful and intimate premiere at the height of the pandemic in 2020, MommaCon is gearing up for its second year as it redefines what it means to be a mom in today’s time, happening virtually on September 11 and 18, 2021.

Last year’s MommaCon talked about the glorious tasks of motherhood and uncovered meaningful topics -- ones that are usually swept under the rug. This year, times are changing and mothers are facing new challenges, opportunities and discoveries brought about by the rapidly-growing online world. To better navigate this, women and mothers from all walks of life are invited once again to MommaCon so they can engage in these meaningful discussions.

MommaCon 2021 will dive deeper into what it really takes to be a “MOM Online'' in an evidently complex world. This year, MommaCon highlights the beauty of motherhood as moms are courageous, independent, resilient, and many more. The ideas and the stories of each mom varies in so many ways and if you want to uncover, be inspired, and listen to a colourful roster of moms then MommaCon is certainly the place for you.

Similar to last year's event, featured discussions are not only limited to usual mom topics like mom-preneurship, health and well-being, and modern-day parenting. Instead, MommaCon explores and provokes different themes and subjects that will empower mothers to speak freely and openly because these issues also matter. This includes the hard and unspoken conversations about motherhood including: dealing with trauma, single and same-sex parenting, writing your will, meeting your significant other during COVID, and so much more!

Apart from this, MommaCon will also feature some of the most globally and locally recognized women leaders who have inspired and empowered women, and they also happen to give a unique perspective on what it means to raise the next generation. Some of the speakers that are headlining the event are Global Woman Club CEO and founder Mirela Sula, Richwell Trading Corporation president and CEO Myrna Yao, and Asia CEO Events president and CEO Rebecca Bustamante. Partner associations for MommaCon 2021 also include Felta, I Create Cafe Manila, Spark!, Women’s Business Council Philippines (WomenBiz PH), and the Philippine Women’s Economic Network (PhilWEN).

With the help of the various yet unique set of mothers who will be a part of the event, MommaCon 2021 will redefine how moms see themselves: as someone who is equipped to conquer this day and age. Whether you are a mother who continues to navigate a world in crisis, one that assumes what the role of a woman should be, and one that continues to show the different realities of the digital age, MommaCon 2021 will help you effectively fulfill your role in this anxiety-stricken, online-driven world fueled by the ongoing pandemic.

It is time to pick up your device, open your mind, and replenish your knowledge on what it really takes to be a MOM Online! Visit the official MommaCon website at https://mommacon.teamasia.com to register and be a part of our growing and loving mom community. The event will be held via Zoom from 1:00 to 6:00 PM on September 11 and September 18.

Amid Heavy Downpours, is it Safe to Ride? Don’t let rain days bring you down with these basic motorcycle safety practices

Tweet

As the country continues to implement quarantine protocols to prevent the pandemic from worsening, riders face new challenges, particularly amid the rainy wet season—not only do people need to worry about contracting COVID-19, they also need to consider the sudden downpours.

 

Despite the heightening restrictions, motorcycles remain the better, practical, more reliable, and more convenient mode of transportation amid the current global health crisis. As riders—from delivery couriers to essential workers—use motorcycles to tackle their daily work tasks, ensuring safety both from the virus and rain is an important aspect they must never take for granted. 

 

As an advocate of road safety, Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI), the No. 1 motorcycle manufacturer in the country, lists some safety measures that riders must be mindful of when driving in the rain or along a wet road. 

 

Inspection Protection 

It pays to check the motorcycle's fluids as it may not mean big trouble under dry conditions, but when oil leaks are mixed with water, it becomes a recipe for slippery and dangerous situations. For beginners, still unfamiliar with motorcycle parts yet, you can have it checked with a mechanic, but plenty of easy-to-use and easy-to-check motorcycles are made for a starter's skill level.  

 

 

For instance, The New BeAT is an AT motorcycle perfect for first-time riders and millennials for its user-friendly features, ensuring safety, comfort, leak-free engine. Its advanced features such as the Enhanced Smart Power (eSP), Combi Brake System (CBS), Informative Semi Digital Meter Panel with Eco Indicator, and the Idling Stop System (ISS), allows riders to ride on their own beat. 

It is available at all Honda dealerships nationwide with a suggested retail price of Php67,400 for the standard variants and Php70,400 for the Premium (ISS/CBS). 

 

Gear Up Your Rainy Day Essentials 

Riders understand that proper riding gear such as helmets, pads, raincoats, rain boots, or riding jackets are the most effective safety measures. And it only makes sense to protect yourself from the elements with waterproof or water-resistant gear. But if you are worried that these gears might take up too much of your luggage space, no need to worry as some motorcycles can carry them after using them.   

 

For instance,  AirBlade150 with its powerful 150cc, SOHC, liquid-cooled engine has the maximum capability to operate in stop-and-go situations. And still provide you the capability to carry essentials with its 22.7L U-Box.  

 

It is also equipped with other cutting-edge features, such as Smart Key, Power Socket for recharging devices and smartphones, and a front-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), which helps determine and prevent wheels from locking up. Its suggested retail price starts at Php109,000.00. 

 

Ride Smoother with Better Brakes 

Preparation is much different when riding out under the sun compared to when you're under the rain. Slippery roads make turning and braking trickier for motorcycles. Ensure tires are properly inflated with the pressure suitable for wet roads and have proper brake padding to stop when needed. 

 

Motorcycles also come in various forms of brakes that will suit any riding style, just like The All-New PCX160. The next level motorcycle comes in two variants such as the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) type and the Combi-Brake System (CBS) type. Both variants are equipped with front and rear disc brakes.   

 

The one-channel ABS variant comes with a Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), guaranteeing smooth stops even during sudden brakes and added traction control. It has a starting price of Php133,900.  On the other hand, the motorcycle's CBS variant combines its front and rear brakes, allowing riders to achieve smoother operation and handling while braking. It comes with a starting price of Php115,900.   

 

With quarantine protocols heightening once again at the same time as the weather will make it harder for riders to hit the road, safety has never been more crucial. Luckily, Honda motorcycles such as The New BeAT,  AirBlade150, and The All-New PCX160 are here to provide the joy of mobility to Filipinos of every stature in life fulfill their everyday tasks to achieve their goals. 

 

"With motorcycle once again serving as a major mode of transportation to deliver essential goods to our doorsteps and for workers as they go to their workplaces, riders must ensure even more their safety on the road. At Honda, we will do our best to keep providing value-added, high-quality motorcycles for Filipinos to face the pandemic and show support to our hero riders," said Hervic Villa,  Motorcycle Planning Department Manager.

Keep your children protected with vaccines this National Immunization Awareness Month

Tweet

As Filipinos continue to get inoculated against the COVID-19 virus, it’s important to also pay attention to other vaccines that contribute to a person’s wellbeing. National Immunization Awareness Month is celebrated every August to emphasize the importance of vaccination for people of all ages.

This is especially true for children, who are more vulnerable to diseases because of their underdeveloped immune systems. When they are vaccinated, they develop infection-fighting antibodies that protect them from many diseases as they grow up. It also contributes to herd immunity, which prevents the spread of diseases, even for those who are not vaccinated.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), routine vaccinations during childhood help prevent 14 diseases. For children born from 1994 to 2018, it will inhibit an estimated 936,000 early deaths, eight million hospitalizations, and 419 million illnesses.

Below are just some of the diseases that vaccinations can stop:

Pneumonia. Pneumonia is a lung infection caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Inflammation in the air sacs in the lungs, called alveoli, causes it to fill with fluid or pus, resulting in breathing difficulty. Most people recover from pneumonia but some cases can be fatal.

Flu. The flu, or influenza, is a respiratory illness caused by viruses. It infects the nose, throat, and even the lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness, with symptoms ranging from a cough to a sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headaches, and fatigue. Some cases include a fever, while children may also be exposed to vomiting and diarrhea. The CDC says that the first step to prevent this disease is an annual flu vaccine.

Measles. Measles is a viral infection that affects children. This is marked by fever, dry cough, runny nose, sore throat, inflamed eyes or conjunctivitis, and a skin rash. Vaccines are recommended to prevent measles, with doctors usually giving the first dose at 12 to 15 months. 

Mumps. Mumps is caused by paramyxovirus that involves pain, tenderness, and swelling in the parotid salivary glands in the cheek and jaw area. It is a contagious disease that can be transmitted through direct contact, saliva, or droplets from an infected person. According to CDC, vaccination is the best way to prevent the disease. It is usually included in the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine combination administered during the 12 to 15 months. A second dose is also advised when a child reaches four to six years old. Mumps can still appear on fully vaccinated individuals but they are less likely to have severe complications.

German Measles. German Measles, also known as rubella, is a viral infection that can spread from one person to another through direct contact or droplets from an infected person. It is a highly contagious disease common in children ages five to nine years old. It is recommended for children between 12 to 15 months old to get the rubella vaccine to prevent the disease. Children are also advised to get a booster shot when they reach four to six years old.

Polio. Polio, short for poliomyelitis, is a potentially fatal disease caused by the poliovirus. This illness gives flu-like symptoms including sore throat, fever, tiredness, and nausea. More serious cases affect the brain and spinal cord and lead to paralysis. The polio vaccine is recognized to protect children, with the CDC noting that 99 kids out of 100 who have been inoculated will be shielded from this disease.

Hepatitis. This is an inflammatory condition of the liver caused by a viral infection due to contaminated food and water or direct contact with infected blood. There are five types of hepatitis: A is an acute, short-term disease, while B, C, D, and E can be chronic. 

Chickenpox. Chickenpox is a disease caused by a virus. It results in an itchy blister-like rash that spreads over the entire body. The disease can be life-threatening and highly contagious. According to the CDC, up to 90% of the people surrounding someone who has it will become infected if they are not immune. Two doses of the vaccine are more than 90% effective in preventing chickenpox.

Vaccines normally come with side effects that can be reduced with medication. One common side effect is fever. Children who experience fever after vaccination can rely on Paracetamol Calpol for Kids.
