Nothing beats the comfort of having a home-cooked meal, and if there’s someone who knows a thing or two about preparing delectable dishes for the family, it’s Ninong Ry. He brings his special recipes to life with the help of GLife, sourcing all the best ingredients and kitchen gadgets to ensure his dishes are always outstanding.

A feature on the GCash app, GLife brings together a curated line-up of merchants and services into one dashboard to allow users to shop for what they need effortlessly in just a few quick taps.

Whether he’s looking for the freshest vegetables and meats or he’s on the hunt for new equipment to level up his kitchen, Ninong Ry finds it all on GLife. Take note of these tips from everyone’s favorite ninong, and get ready to elevate your home cooking!

Tip 1: Great food needs great cookware, and when you plan to make steak at home, you need a sturdy cast iron pan.

A nice, tender steak doesn’t require a trip to a fine dining restaurant; all you need is a cast iron skillet at home to cook a perfectly delicious and juicy steak. A cast-iron pan evenly distributes and retains heat, so when you cook steak, the entire surface takes on a beautifully caramelised sear.

“Lahat ng gusto mong i-sear, masesear mo ng maayos dito kumpara sa ibang material,” explains Ninong Ry. “Mas mataas ang searing, mas masarap ang luto, mas mag eenjoy ang pamilya.”

A nice cast iron pan may be purchased for PHP 630.00 from Rampage City on GLife. Through this tried and tested technique using a cast iron pan, you can begin having epic steak nights at home!

Tip 2: Make the smart choice with your sandwiches by grilling them. You can even get creative and grill with a waffle iron!

“Madalas ginagamit ko ang waffle iron ko pag sawa na akong mag pancake. Same mixture, babawasan lang ng liquid, pwedeng pwede nang maging waffle. Ginagawa ko din minsan na sandwich bread yung mga waffle na gawa ko para maiba naman,” shares Ninong Ry.

With a waffle iron, the outside of your sandwich becomes crispy, but the centre remains soft and gooey, especially when you add lots of cheese! Ninong Ry recommends the Sonifer SF-6043, a portable waffle iron that costs only PHP 674.00 on GLife.

Tip 3: Need help in picking the right kind of beef for different dishes? Get the finest Sirloin or Salpicao cuts + homemade steak sauce from Chingolo Deli.

Chingolo Deli is Ninong Ry's go-to deli for meats since they're sourced from grass-fed herds. Their meats are hormone and antibiotic free, so they’re not only delicious, but also healthier for you and your family.

The Bolzico meat at Chingolo Deli is a 100% Argentinian certified grass-fed Angus beef, but they also have a large selection of meats from which you can prepare a superb sirloin dish or beef salpicao dinner. They also sell homemade steak sauce to go with their prime steak cuts. The best part? They’re all available on your GCash app thanks to GLife!

Tip 4: Make the smart choice for more savings when shopping and choose PureGo for the freshest and most affordable grocery finds.

Tweet

As health and safety became a top concern amid the pandemic, especially for travelers, Clorox Philippines, one of the country’s leading providers of cleaning and disinfecting products, collaborated with the flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL).

Clorox Philippines worked with PAL to enhance the safety of their customers by providing Clorox products in PAL’s airport hubs and ticket offices across the Philippines. PAL received Clorox Expert Disinfectant Sprays, Clorox Expert Disinfecting Wipes canisters, Clorox Clean-Up All-Purpose Cleaner, and Clorox Toilet Bowl Cleaners to disinfect its vital facilities and amenities.

“The health and safety of our passengers are our top priorities. We are pleased to have partnered with Clorox Philippines, which shares our values in upholding the safety and welfare of consumers. As more people go back to flying, our partnership is significant and timely," said Ria Carrion-Domingo, Vice President for Marketing at PAL.

The newest ambassadress of Santé, Jane De Leon as a Modern-Day Hero shares her secret to continue to live more and do more for her loved ones

Tweet

"If you could become a superhero for a day, what do you think would be your superpower?" We were often asked this question back when were younger. Most of us would giddily answer super speed, teleportation, invisibility, or the ability to fly. However, for Kapamilya actress Jane De Leon—it’s a different story.

As the newest ambassadress of Santé, a premier natural and organic health and wellness product and services provider for Santé Barley and Daily-C, De Leon shared that someone can be a superhero in even the smallest of ways. The 23-year-old actress considers herself a modern-day hero through her volunteerism.

"I consider myself a hero not onscreen but through being a helpful daughter at home, an advocate of mental health to the youth, and through giving back to the community by providing meals to street children," she said.

What are her superpowers? It is the power of health. Amidst all the demands of life, a superhero like her needs to have a healthy and fit body. She expressed that she was inspired by her mother’s love and selfless acts in taking care of their family tirelessly, which is why she considers her mom her hero.

To help others productively, De Leon said that one must be healthy emotionally, mentally, and physically. For that reason, she regularly recharges her superpower through proper hydration, sound sleep, exercise, a balanced diet, and completing the nutrients her body needs through her daily dose of Santé Barley and Daily-C supplements.

Santé Barley™, Santé’s flagship product, is harvested in New Zealand, and is made of barley grass gathered at a young age and turned into powder and capsule forms. It is composed of pure organic barley grass rich in vitamins and minerals that help detoxify the body, lower bad cholesterol, aid digestive health, deliver antioxidants, assist wound healing, bone formation, and many more.

A glass or capsule of Santé Barley™ fortifies the body with Vitamin C, zinc, calcium, amino acids, magnesium, iron, B-vitamins, and carotenoids, which are essential to giving the immune system an extra boost. The healthy goodness of Santé Barley™ is certified organic by New Zealand’s renowned organic produce and products organization, BioGro.

Daily-C, on the other hand, is sodium ascorbate. It has three variants, including Daily-C 500mg, Daily-C 750mg, and Daily-C Plus (sodium ascorbate fortified with zinc to provide an extra level of protection). With a pH range of 7.0 to 8.0, all variants are gentler on the stomach and safe for daily consumption.

Vitamin C helps reinforce the immune system, decreases Vitamin C deficiency, and aids in the body’s iron absorption, collagen formation, and wound healing. The Daily-C 750mg and Daily-C Plus variations come in vegetable capsules that make it ideal for those living the vegetarian lifestyle.

“I am glad that Santé Barley™ and Daily-C supplements are non-acidic because I have a very sensitive tummy. As it nourishes my body without hurting my tummy, it helps me live more and do more of my superhero works,” De Leon shared.

Meanwhile, De Leon also advised her co-heroes, who are either breadwinners or caretakers of their families, to look after themselves by taking care of their own health and body, "Please do not push yourself too hard. Take care of your health because you are doing it for your family and society. Thank you for the sacrifices and for being there at all times."

Moreover, De Leon is honored and blessed to be a part of the Santé family, "Through this [partnership with Santé], I hope to educate and encourage more Filipinos to prioritize their health."

Santé Barley™, Daily-C, and other Santé products are organic health and wellness products offered by Santé, known for developing a comprehensive selection of everyday barley-based products. They are designed to improve people’s quality of life to live more and do more.

Santé is one of the leading global manufacturers of certified barley grass grown and harvested from New Zealand. With its mission to help people live better lives, the company promotes, produces, and distributes premier natural health and wellness products and services. Today, Santé has expanded its offerings, including a fitness and rehabilitation center with Santé Fitness Lab, staying true to its thrust of promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals completes a 100 liver transplants in children from the Philippines

Tweet

• 44 girls and 56 boys from the Philippines between 4 months and 15 years have undergone a liver transplant at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals
• These procedures mark an important milestone in strengthening relations between India and the Philippines

Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, Delhi has reached the landmark of performing 100 liver transplants in children from the Philippines. Aged between 4 months and 15 years, children suffering from various diseases that had resulted in liver failure necessitating a transplant have received a liver transplant.

Despite COVID posing several challenges in the last 2 years, Apollo made sure that children and their families were provided end-to-end assistance in terms of aligning travel permissions while also ascertaining patient safety by arranging special charter flights with a medical team on board to manage any emergencies.

Mr. P Shivakumar, Managing Director – Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, asserted: “Apollo Hospitals leads the way in delivering cross-border care for children. Our approach is aligned with Apollo’s overarching objective of providing prompt delivery of healthcare services, notwithstanding myriad constraints. This becomes even more important when it comes to caring for children. We believe there is no greater joy than seeing the smiles of children who have been saved by our timely medical intervention.”

Group Medical Director and Senior Pediatric Gastroenterologist, Apollo Hospitals Group – Dr (Prof) Anupam Sibal, stated: “Apollo Hospitals has been receiving children with liver failure from the Philippines for the last five years. Fortunately, we have been able to help many families from different parts of the Philippines.

We would like to thank families for their trust as we mark the landmark of 100 liver transplants in babies and children from the Philippines. Despite COVID restrictions, we have transplanted 53 children in the last 2 years. The youngest child to be operated on was 4 months. Significantly, babies weighing barely 3.5kgs have also had liver transplants at Apollo Hospitals. Our initiative has been facilitated by the immense support from the Embassies which helped in easing travel formalities for patients. The Apollo Liver Transplant Program, the first successful program in India which was established in 1998 has now performed more than 3950 liver transplants including 458 in children from 20 countries”.

Senior Liver Transplant Surgeon at the Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, Dr. Neerav Goyal, said, "In liver transplant, surgery is performed when patients have a high risk of dying from their disease in the ensuing weeks to months. Since COVID-19 is not going away anytime soon, many of these patients were unlikely to survive the period of the pandemic without liver transplant, and the patients despite several challenges travelled to us. We are happy that we can help them in easing their pain and provided a new lease of life. In 65% of children, the donors were mothers, in 30 % fathers and 5 % other blood relatives.”
