In celebration of its 65th anniversary, trusted Filipino household company PHILUSA Corporation continues its commitment to making meaningful, healthy, and sustainable lifestyle more attainable for Filipino families through “Katuwang ng Tahanang Pilipino” campaign.

PHILUSA Corporation is a leading Filipino-owned company that is known for marketing and distributing fast-moving consumer goods and pharmaceutical products through their iconic Filipino brands like RHEA, Babyflo, Cleene, MEDIPLAST, Albatross, Apollo, and more.

Dedicated to being a part of every Filipino household, PHILUSA Corporation marks its 65^th year by championing hygiene, health, sustainability, and giving back to the communities. The leading company commenced the anniversary campaign by supporting Luwalhati ng Maynila, a home for the aged in Marikina City. Led by the PHILUSA Family Council (PHILFACO), the initiative benefitted over 400 seniors in the institution, receiving kitchen equipment and supplies, household products, hygiene kits, medical kits, and more.

“PHILUSA Corporation strives to inspire volunteerism in others by creating a meaningful impact in the community. Our company has helped different sectors over the years through social development efforts and relief assistance, and PHILUSA continues with its commitment of touching the lives of Filipino families through these initiatives,” said PHILUSA President and General Manager Neogin Evangelista.

Through the “Katuwang ng Tahanang Pilipino” campaign, PHILUSA Corporation continues to uphold its core values of putting its customers’ needs first, achieving timely and quality results through innovation and continuous improvement, and doing everything with integrity through its initiatives in helping others.

The initiative strives to maintain the trust of Filipinos, featuring its three main pillars – Katuwang sa Kalinisan highlights the brand’s efforts to promote the importance of hygiene; Katuwang sa Kalikasan, on the other hand, showcases its commitment to sustainability; and, lastly, Katuwang sa Kalusugan advocates overall wellness in every household.

“We’ve always envisioned PHILUSA Corporation as every Filipino’s household partner, which is why we are very excited to announce our Katuwang ng Tahanang Pilipino campaign. This campaign is really a celebration of PHILUSA Corporation’s 65th year championing health, wellness and environmental sustainability to Filipinos everywhere not only through our products and brands, but also through our initiatives,” shared Mr. Evangelista.

The Katuwang ng Tahanang Pilipino campaign will be a continuation of PHILUSA Corporation’s efforts to pay it forward by releasing relevant content on its sustainability and hygiene-related initiatives, as well as outreach programs to promote and raise awareness about their advocacies of health, hygiene, and environmental sustainability.

Kim Chiu's beyond the usual hair solution is finally here!

Tweet

Looking confidently hair-ready any time of the day is now possible! Regardless of age, gender, and income, there is no longer a need to break the bank to get that perfect luscious hair. Actress-host and influencer, Kim Chiu with beauty pageant titleholders Miss World PH 2021 Tracy Maureen Perez and Miss Hispanoamericano PH 2022 Ingrid Santamaria, and some influencers shared their secret to getting that perfect wavy and straight hair during the intimate media launch of Lifestrong Hairfix.

As the crowning glory, Kim recognizes the need to care for the hair on all occasions anytime, anywhere. This has been affirmed by beauty influencers Kris Lumagui and Lolly Isabel who led the pack of influencers by sharing how Hairfix has helped in solving their past hair struggles, as well as, hairstylist MJ Rone, who shared his experience with Hairfix while styling for pageant beauties.

Meanwhile, influencers Quel Palomo, Nikki Tiu, Patricia Parian of Momshies Diary, as well as, Tiktok Influencers Grace Uy, Aika Legaspi, Mica Abacan, Jaymie Cruz, Jaymee Javier were also present at the vibrant event while wearing pink and blue to represent the two Hairfix Serum Lines.

Apart from the games and raffle, which the Influencers and the media members gamely participated in, another highlight of the launch was the recognition and awarding of the plaque from the European Hair Factory and the Philippine General Hospital to Kim, along with Lifestrong’s General Manager, Marge Lee and President, Lance Lee for their hair donation for the cancer patients.

“Gusto talaga ng Lifestrong and ni Ms. Marge na magkaroon ng magandang hair ang lahat. And of course, ang mga cancer patients hindi talaga maiiwasan na magkaroon sila ng hair loss at mawalan sila ng confidence sa sarili nila na ‘Wala na kaming hair kaya hindi na kami lalabas ng bahay,’” Kim said.

She added, “I’m very happy kasi hindi lang siya nagpapaganda ng hair ko kasi nagbibigay rin siya ng hope for the cancer patients.”

Much-needed (Hair) fix

Different hair problems need different but not necessarily expensive solutions.

Lifestrong Hairfix provides a complete Do-It-Yourself hair care solution catering to every hair need from hair essentials, hair treatments, hair color, hair styling, and general merchandise for a full DIY experience at home. With its easy-to-use hair color and hair treatments that come in handy, travel-friendly sachets, Lifestrong Hairfix lives up to its name of fixing one’s hair in the comfort of the own home, at the convenience of their own time.

We know that times are hard and that the pandemic has changed the game for everyone including taking care of themselves. Such is the concept behind our DIY Hairfix products,” said Margaret Lee, Lifestrong’s Hairfix co-founder.

The Hairfix Multiplex Serum Range provides the much-needed hair vitamins and nutrients that address the inevitable hair deterioration due to excessive styling and exposure to heat, chemicals, and pollutants. Crafted with quality care and advancement, the line consists of Shampoo, Conditioner, and Treatment, all specially formulated in Italy to repair and nourish the hair. The Multiplex Serum Range has two variants namely: Hyaluronic Acid with Zinc, which hydrates the hair to power repair dry and damaged hair, and Keratin with Zinc, which straightens and enhances power growth for frizzy and tangled hair.

SPARK! is delighted to announce new funding from Sony Music Entertainment Philippines to champion young women’s rights and provide access to free and quality education, improved reproductive health products and services, as well as support for gender sensitive and responsive programs.      

As a new beneficiary, SPARK! Philippines will develop an initiative that capitalizes on the power of storytelling through film and music to showcase inspirational narratives of the young women they support. The selected girls will collaborate with a critically acclaimed female filmmaker and Sony Music Philippines artists to produce original short biopics or documentaries featuring impactful musical scores and theme songs. A separate series of short videos will also be made to showcase how Sony Music Philippines artists engage with the young women through their workshops and songwriting and recording sessions.

“In addition to elevating young women and raising awareness for the issues they face, we want to inspire them to be more creative, to dream deeply, and to aspire for more,” said Maica Teves, Executive Director at SPARK! Philippines. “Young women need help with strengthening and amplifying their advocacy efforts, and support from the Sony Music Philippines’s musicians and filmmakers will help them achieve that in a creative way. Through our collaboration with Sony Music’s Global Social Justice Fund, we aim to give our young women a positive platform to showcase their collaboration and develop meaningful stories that shed much-needed light on the pressing issues they face. We want to embed a belief in equal rights and the importance of education at a young age and will work hand-in-hand with Sony Music Entertainment Philippines to realize these goals.”      

“We are happy to partner with SPARK! who are impacting the lives of young women across the Philippines,” said Roslyn Pineda, General Manager, Philippines, Sony Music Entertainment. “As a global music company, Sony Music Entertainment is dedicated to empowering and elevating all members of societies where we have a presence. We are committed to bridging gaps in society and look forward to working with SPARK! to unlock the creative potential of young women in the Philippines.”

Established in 2012, SPARK! Philippines is an NGO composed of empowered women committed to the development of women and women’s organizations as full partners in national development. The funding from Sony Music Philippines will help strengthen collaboration and build alliances with people and organizations across various fields and sectors to advance the rights and welfare agenda of young women, encourage young women to be agents of change from a young age by actively participating in social development programs and community projects, claiming their right to engage in spaces of policy discussion, and support men in allyship and activism by joining activities that advance gender equality.

SPARK! Philippines is the latest recipient announced in Asia from Sony Music Group’s Global Social Justice Fund. Launched in 2020, the Fund supports social justice and anti-racist initiatives around the world. Two years on, the Fund has pledged 71% of the total $100 Million USD fund to more than 400 community organizations worldwide, covering areas including civic engagement, environmental justice, criminal justice reform, and education.
