In celebration of World Milk Day, Robinsons Supermarket is spreading the goodness of the healthy drink by enabling its customers and brand partners to donate milk towards the nutrition of children beneficiaries with its “Share a Glass of Milk” campaign.

To kickstart this initiative, officials of Robinsons Supermarket and its partners have donated P100,000 worth of milk products to kids and officials from Right Start Community Development Inc. The said organization provides an after-school development program for underprivileged kids, aged 4 to 14 years old.

“This donation represents our strong commitment to promote and safeguard the nutrition of every member of the family, especially the children, who with every glass of milk consumed brings them a step closer to health and wellness,” said Jody Gadia, the supermarket chain’s general manager, during the turnover ceremony held recently at Robinsons Place Pioneer in Mandaluyong City.

Robinsons Supermarket is the first grocery chain in the country to celebrate World Milk Day.

From now until June 15, Robinsons Supermarket customers can donate a glass of milk to needy children by purchasing P250 worth of participating milk products.


From now until June 15, Robinsons Supermarket’s Share a Glass of Milk campaign enables shoppers to donate a glass of milk for every P250 purchase of participating milk products. With every P300 single-receipt purchase of participating Alaska Milk products, customers can also get a chance to win a P100,000 Asia tour package. Participating products include Alaska Powdered Milk, Alaska Condensed and Evaporated Milk, Alaska UHT Fresh Milk, Alaska Choco Snack Pack, and Alaska Crema Asada.


Robinsons Supermarket also celebrates its wellness commitment by creating fun activities that promote healthy bonding activities.

Kisses Delavin spreads good vibes at TriNoma for Vivo V9 mall tour

Kirsten Danielle Tan Delavin better known as Kisses Delavin, is a multimedia artist and member of Vivo family.

The rain ain’t stopping Kisses Delavin’s sunshine. Despite the gloomy weather on a Sunday afternoon, the young star spread nothing but warm and sunny vibes as she met fans during the Vivo V9 mall tour at TriNoma.

“I am Kisses Delavin and I am here to make you happier,” she introduced herself.

Kisses who wore an all-red ensemble entertained the audience with a medley of Taylor Swift’s hits and her original song, Pretty Boy, from her self-titled debut album.

Kisses mesmerizes the TriNoma crowd with her infectious charm.




The rain also did not stop Kisses’ fans from trooping to TriNoma to show their support for the young star.

19-year-old Kisses has been a proud member of the ever-growing Vivo family since September 2017. She said she has been using the Vivo smartphones for personal use since then.

“My favorite feature of the Vivo V9 is the camera,” she said of the latest model.

It was indeed a good choice since Vivo V9 has a 24-megapixel AI selfie camera with a 16MP+5MP dual rear camera and a 6.3-inch FullView™ View, among other features.

The Vivo V9 is available at all authorized shops for Php17,990 in Pearl Black, Gold, and Velvet Red.

Boy R. Abunda Talk Series (BRATS) Officially Launched

The Boy R. Abunda Talk Series (BRATS) was officially launched last June 8 at Artist Playground, Arts Above, 112 West Avenue, Quezon City (Penthouse, BIR Building).

Boy Abunda

BRATS is an 8-minute onstage talk with a speaker and an audience. The speaker takes centerstage to share real and empowering personal stories. BRATS takes inspiration from inspiring talks and talk series around the world like Ted Talks, the Gel Conference, Ignite, PopTech, Big Think, etc. Boy previously delivered an interesting and provocative speech titled Why Can’t We Have a Gay President? for Ted ADMU.

In his BRATS opening remarks, Boy emphasized the need for people to talk to each other.
“We need to touch each other’s lives. We need to listen to each other. We are in a wired generation. One of our goals is to go back to the basics. To enjoy laughter, aspirations, and conversations. And it should be experienced live.”
“We are hoping that BRATS becomes a celebration of life where ideas merge with inspiration and passion. We would like to be able to tackle issues that deal with the physical, the intellectual, and the spiritual journey that a person takes when moving from pain to wisdom, from being wrong to becoming right, from being a victim to becoming a victor, from being a failure to becoming a success, and from being a bigshit to becoming a bigshot,” he added.

BRATS encourages people to tell their stories, to share, to listen, and to open their hearts. “We want to remind people that you can tell your stories, inspire and empower, and you don’t need to ask anybody’s permission to do good,” Boy said.

BRATS Speakers- (From left to right) Almed Garcia, Santy Layno, John Ace Hernandez, Atty. Kathy Merza
The four speakers who shared their personal stories were Atty. Kathy Merza, Santy Layno, Almed Garcia, and John Ace Hernandez. 

Atty. Kathy did not give up after failing the bar examination twice. The failure became a renewal of faith for her. She enumerated some valuable lessons during her talk:
1. There’s no shortcut to success.
2. Accept your shortcomings.
3. Start fresh.
4. Go out of your comfort zone.
5. Pray hard 6. Never stop trying.

Santy Layno talked about her life as a transgender woman and sex worker. Santy, now a proud LGBT advocate, explained the joys and hardships of being a sex worker. She also defined what a prostitute is, as opposed to a sex worker. “A prostitute is a victim while being a sex worker is a choice. I refused to be a victim.” She displayed courage which she defined as “telling your story with all your heart.” 

Almed spoke about breaking the stereotypes of women as dictated by society and shared her life’s experiences.

Ace is a proud gay daddy of three biological daughters. He talked about raising his daughters: one is a graduate in Psychology, another finished Medical Technology while the youngest is a Grade 11 student at La Salle. Ace who is now separated from his wife added, “Mahirap na masarap maging magulang. Kapag magulang, hindi mo iisipin ang sarili mo. Para sa anak mo lang.” 

Boy synthesized the talks at the end.
“From Kathy, it’s nice to get out of your comfort zone and get a new perspective. When you have limited time, use it properly. Santy, thank you for teaching me what courage is all about and what’s the difference between a prostitute and a sex worker. With Almed, there is no law that a woman cannot give flowers to a man and what a wonderful experience it is to have a father who says ‘umuwi ka’ whatever happens outside of home. With Ace, we can’t go wrong if we embrace the truth.”
Boy promised that BRATS will continue, “For as long as you’re willing to listen. For as long as you’re willing to tell your stories, we will be here. We want to go to schools, to companies, to organizations, and to the provinces. We will organize BRATS for you. Magkukuwentuhan tayo.” 

The main coordinators of BRATS are Ms. Bemz Benedito and Mr. Ruffy Hirang.
