Tweet

The search for the Bida Best Squad officially begins.

As we dive into the summer season, Johnson’s Baby launches its biggest kiddie online search for kid influencers with soft, smooth, and shiny hair! Dubbed as the #JohnsonsBidaBest squad search, the brand is on the look-out for the next big kid influencer squad who can showcase how they are fun, energetic, and active because of Johnson’s Shampoo.

Led by the iconic hair idol of the 90’s, and now mommy celebrity Jolina Magdangal-Escueta, the #JohnsonsBidaBest squad search launched with an animated and fun TikTok challenge that moms and their kids can join by showcasing their dance moves, while flaunting their healthy and shiny hair.

“I’ve been in the industry for a long time, and one of the things people remember about me are my fun and unique hairstyles. I was only able to do all those throughout the years because I took great care of my hair from the beginning. This is something that I want my kids and fellow momshies to know, which is why I use Johnson’s Shampoo for my kids! Their favorite being the Shiny Drops variant. Makes their hair feel extra cared for!” said Jolina Magdangal-Escueta.

For the #JohnsonsBidaBest squad search, moms and kids will have to go through different online challenges that will allow them to show their creativity, energy, and of course, their kids’ soft, smooth, and shiny hair. The TikTok challenge encourages moms and their kids to dance to the Johnson’s Shampoo’s newest jingle performed by our brand ambassador Jolina Magdangal-Escueta herself. Moms together with their kids can also get to try the animated branded filter as their background, as they dance to the beat of Johnson’s Shampoo’s newest jingle—a fun way in teaching our moms the importance of using age-appropriate shampoo for their kids to achieve soft, smooth, and shiny hair.

The search does not stop there, apart from the TikTok challenge, Johnson’s Baby will also host more online games on different social media platforms that will ultimately help the brand identify our top 4 kid influencers.

The winners of the #JohnsonsBidaBest squad search will receive a 1-year contract with Johnson’s Baby (inclusive of Magandang Buhay guesting and vlog guesting with Jolina Magdangal-Escueta!), a 1-year supply of Johnson’s Shampoo’s product range, 25,000 pesos in cash, and will be the newest addition to our growing Johnson’s Baby family. They will be the main faces and advocates for Johnson’s Shampoo; raising awareness on age-appropriate haircare for kids given that their hair is more delicate than adult hair.

According to research conducted by Johnson & Johnson Consumer Health Philippines, kids' hair is known to be two times thinner than adult hair; making it harmful for kids to use adult shampoo because of its strong chemicals.

With this, it has become the mission of Johnson’s Baby to ensure that kids get the strong, healthy hair that they deserve through proper haircare products as shown in their product range: Shiny Drops with Argan Oil and Silk proteins for soft, smooth, and shiny hair, Clean & Fresh with active fresh technology for 12-hour freshness, Strong & Healthy with 8 conditioners and Vitamin E for stronger hair and less breakage, and Soft & Smooth shampoo with honey and wheat extracts for smooth, less frizzy hair.

“Kids are known to be pure and gentle, which is why the products that they use should be the same. With our ongoing #JohnsonsBidaBest Squad Search, we want to educate moms and make them realize that their growing kids’ delicate hair should be equipped with a product that is gentle to the eyes, hair, and scalp; making their hair stronger, healthier, and prettier with Johnson’s Shampoo and its gentle formula specifically designed for kids’ hair,” said marketing manager Kat Suarez.

The Best Time for Home Repairs is Now

Tweet

The hot summer months are here! Now is the best time for you to plan house repairs. Does your roof have a leak from last year that needs to be fixed, or do you need to replace broken doors? Or perhaps you want to repaint your entire house?

No matter what house repairs you need, it is important to plan everything in advance. This means that you know the scope of repairs needed, have the funds you need for the project, and know who to work with. Here are some things to remember when planning for home repairs or improvement:

Assess and Identify Repairs

Identifying which repairs you need, and the materials required for them, are the first important elements to consider, as this will give you a rough idea of how much funding and time you’ll need. Depending on the scope of the repair, you might need to find a temporary place to stay at too—you probably won’t need to move elsewhere if the only renovation needed is an exterior repaint, but you might consider it if extensive interior work will be done. Electrical or plumbing repairs might also interfere with daily life, so planning and assessment is vital before you commit to anything.

Get The Right People for the Job

Good planning must also be accompanied by good work—you need to contact the right people for the job. Find properly vetted contractors that can help you find the best tools and materials. Make sure to ask extensively about their experience. As much as possible, you would want the contractors’ specialties to line up with the renovation or repair that you have in mind. This won’t necessarily be the most affordable, and while cost is an important factor to consider, keep in mind that good repairs will last a long time and give you the most value for your hard-earned money.

Fund Your Repairs with the Right Partner

The best way to get funds for your repair and improvement needs without dipping into your personal savings is through a loan, such as EastWest Home Loan. There are many reasons why this is the way to go:

· Get the funds you need—If you’re short on cash, an EastWest Home Loan can help you get the exact amount you need for your home repair.

· Fixed term rate options—Protect yourself from rate fluctuations by choosing your own fixed term.

· Light and easy repayments—Depending on the amount you loaned, EastWest allows you to stretch the repayment period for up to 30 years, making payments easier and more affordable. Our families’ safety, security, and comfort start with a well-maintained home. Make sure that you have all you need to keep your house in tip-top shape by considering an EastWest Home Loan.
