Hapee Kiddie together with Renowned Puppeteer Wanlu Teaches Kids on Proper Brushing in School Caravan

Having dental caries, more commonly known as cavities, is one of the top public health concerns of not just adults, but kids too. According to the Department of Health, 92.4% of Filipinos have them. What is more alarming is that 97% of Filipino children suffer from cavities too. 

Students who suffer from cavities not only experience pain and discomfort but may also perform badly in school. Toothaches, developed because of the buildup of cavities, is the most common cause of absenteeism among schoolchildren. 

Brushing our teeth has become such a usual part of everyone’s daily routine that we often forget the importance of doing it properly. Like most things, it’s better to do them right as young as possible. That is why Hapee Kiddie launched their Choose tobe Hapee with Hapee Kiddie school caravan with the goal of teaching our kids how to properly brush their teeth. With the tour’s unique and informative approach to teaching oral care, it showed the children that brush time need not be as dull.


The students were able to enjoy a special song number by Wanlu and Hapee during the Choose to be Hapee with Hapee Kiddie caravan tour. 

One creative way of educating children about their oral care is through a puppet show, led by renowned ventriloquist, Wanluand his trusty puppets, Nicolo and Hapee, where they further educated the students with their witty yet informative banter. 

“Every moment in the caravan was memorable to me. The kids were even hugging the puppets after the show, especially Hapee. I think puppeteering really is a more creative and effective way of communicating with the children. In fact, you can see in the faces of the children that they really understand what’s happening and what the puppet is talking about because they react to what the puppet tells them,” shared Wanlu, who recently won the Ventriloquist of the Year in Asia awarded by the US-based International Ventriloquist Association.

Popular ventriloquist/puppeteer Wanlubrought out Nicolo, one of his famous puppets, for the Choose to be Hapee with Hapee Kiddie caravan tour.


Using a life-size tooth and toothbrush, kids were able to see firsthand the steps they need to do to make their teeth happy and healthy. 



Kids were taught how to properly brush their teeth through fun demonstrations. Through the Hapee Kiddie Toothy Tale videos, they learned to brush three times a day using a pea-sized amount of toothpaste and then brush for two minutes with circular motions.

Schoolchildren participate in the engaging activities of the school caravan by signaling two when asked for how many minutes they should brush their teeth. 



Wanlu is accompanied by Hapee, as they talk about the importance of brushing their teeth. 


They then tested their newly-acquired knowledge with engaging games, where they were able to nab prizes! 

Choose to be Hapee with Hapee Kiddie school caravan tours all across Metro Manila, bringing joy and spreading happiness to nearly 4,000 young kids aged 5 to 7 years old in 15 public and private schools.

The job of a customer care representative is not easy),” said MayMay.

For his part, Edward said, “It’s the first time I was able to do something like this and I have a newfound respect for everyone who does this type of job, because it’s really challenging.

De La Salle Dasmariñas' Mission Jubilee Celebration Year 2019

De La Salle Dasmariñas celebrates Lasallian Mission Jubilee Year 2019 with different activities anchored among international students with different culture held on February 11 -16, 2019 at De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute, Dasmariñas, Cavite City. 

De La Salle University-Dasmariñas is an institution guided by the values of faith, zeal for service and communion in the mission which is part and parcel of the Lasallian brand of education throughout the world.

The University takes the cudgels in promoting and supporting various advocacies that play an important role in addressing issues being faced by the community and society by encouraging students to become active agents of positive change.

DLSU-D believes that education should not end within the four corners of the classroom and instead, extend beyond the academics for learners to understand their role in their families, communities, their localities, and their country


DLSU-D Lasallian Mission Jubilee Year Celebration 2019 Activities :


1. Heart Matters
A lay forum on heart attack focused on developing a fit heart minute habit for high-risk people.


2. "I am bigger and stronger than my bullies."



Anti-Bullying Seminar, February 14, 2019 held at De La Salle Villarosa Convention Hall.

An anti-bullying seminar aimed at building students' capabilities in dealing with bullying at school and in other situations.


3. International Music Festival




A music fest featuring international students studying at DLSMHSI. They played music from their countries as a celebration of cultural diversity. 


4. "Diversity is beautiful"

An on-the-spot t-shirt design contest for DLSMHSI students anchored on the theme.

"Diversity is beautiful" aimed toward raising awareness on the need for tolerance in our communities for differences among us.


5. International Food Festival

This International Food Festival is a gastronomic feast for those who have diverse palates! The international students cooked and presented their favorite dishes from their own country so that their friends and fellow students can enjoy their favorites too.








6. Lasalyanong Rehabilitasyon

A special activity during that week, we witnessed Lasalyanong Rehabilitasyon (TheraFree) last February 15, 2019 by College of Rehabilitation Sciences. 




DLSMHSI CRS is a strong advocate for the empowerment and quality of life of Persons with Disabilities especially the children and integrates it in its student and faculty development programs. It hones the members of its academic community (e.g. faculty, staff and students) to community service as part of its educational and training so as to help aid the Philippine society in bridging the gap between the needed rehabilitation services at the community level and the rendering of quality care and consultancy by qualified rehabilitation services professionals (e.g. Physiatrists, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Speech and Language Pathologists).

It is the pioneering College that opened the first Early Intervention Outreach Facility in the Philippines (DJPRES, 2014) for Children with Disabilities where a partnership model between a tertiary level education institution (De La Salle Medical and HSI) and public education elementary school works together to address the gap in rehabilitation services for the poor children with disabilities in the Philippines.

It also embraces service to the community by rendering free wheelchair assessment and prescription to indigent members of the community where free wheelchairs are issued through the sponsorship of Latter Day Saints Charities (LDSC). It boasts of 4 out of 5 (in the Philippines) Advance Wheelchair Specialists certification of its faculty and intermediate and basic certification as wheelchair clinicians of almost all of its faculty members.


De La Salle University Dasmariñas has institutionalized efforts to live out its vocation to serve. With programs and activities targeted towards promoting social consciousness, DLSU-D encourages students, faculty and staff to work together to bring about the meaningful impact to the world we live in.
