After
winning the 2013 Go Green In The City global competition can we make history
again in 2015?
In 2013, two
engineering students from the Ateneo de Manila University bested more 25 other
teams from around the world in Schneider Electric’s Go Green in the City
contest in Paris—an opportunity that allowed them to showcase their talent,
take part in the global search for viable energy management solutions, and the
chance to work with the global energy expert.
Alyssa
Tricia Eloise Vintola and Lorenz Ray Payonga, both Electronics and
Communications Engineering scholars, were the overall global winner for their
entry project, ‘Oscillohump’, an alternative energy solution to harvest energy
from road humps using the simple concept of electromagnetic induction as its
physical foundation. Whenever vehicles
pass over the Oscillohump, they generate power to charge a battery, used to
power DC loads such as LED street lamps, traffic lights, or CCTV cameras.
My family’s health history lead me to attend an
event held at Edsa Shangrila. The event focused on Diabetes and it impart
information that I think would be useful to many of us. I have been doing my
ways to prevent and minimize my risk to have the dreaded disease that most of
us have now adays.
A recent study proved that long-term intensive
glucose control based on a gliclazide-modified release strategy among diabetes
patients may create a major impact on the reduction of kidney failure.
According to leading researchers of the ADVANCE-ON
Post-trial Observational Study, , an intensive glucose-lowering treatment is
likely to produce major long term benefits for the kidneys.
With this strategy, diabetes patients may have a
lower risk of renal failure that requires dialysis or transplantation.
Researchers also note that patients did not
experience any increase or decrease in the risks of death as well as any
cardiovascular disease.

It’s a scene typically played out during fiestas:
People rushing to the streets, drawn to the sound of a marching band. Everyone
is smiling, eager to see the “star” of the celebration. But instead of showing
the face of a movie celebrity, a beauty queen or a politician, the video
reveals an unlikely, yet welcome sight—a new, clean toilet facility.
Aptly titled “Fiesta”, the Domex video, produced by
Unilever Philippines, is available on Youtube and shows how underprivileged
Filipinos welcome the “arrival” of clean toilet facilities in their
communities. “The video aims to make people realize the value of a toilet which
most of us, unfortunately, take for granted,” said Dennis Chua, Domex Brand
Manager.
The “Fiesta” video contributes to the efforts of
Domex’s One Million Clean Toilets Movement. Each unique view translates into a
pledge for the advocacy campaign which collects pledges from households to
conscientiously maintain their own hygienic bathrooms. For every pledge
received, Domex will donate P5 to UNICEF’s sanitation program, towards
improving access to basic sanitation in deprived areas around the world,
including the Philippines.
“By watching the ‘Fiesta’ video and asking our
friends to watch it, we are not only raising awareness for toilet appreciation
and sanitation, more importantly, we are helping less privileged communities
gain access to clean toilet facilities,” said Benjie Yap, Unilever Foods and
Home Care Vice President.
Jolen, tumbang preso, patintero – these are
just some of the classic Filipino games moms today grew up with; games now
featured in the second season of the award-winning game show on GMA, Bonakid
Pre-School’s Ready Set Laban! Now hosted by one of the country’s most sought
after hosts, Drew Arellano, along with celebrity mommy co-hosts, the fun-filled
mom and kid game show aired its first episode last October 5.
Joining Drew for the pilot episode of Bonakid
Pre-School’s Ready Set Laban Season 2 was none other than mom of one, Julia
Clarete. Both hosts were very enthusiastic to kick off the first episode of the
show, cheering on the first mom and kid tandem of the new season, mommy Karelle
Marquez and daughter Keiley.
A veteran of the show, Karelle compares their
experience last year to this season’s. “Mas physically challenging yung
ngayon. Mas mahirap siya pero it was a very fun experience and bonding for
me and Keiley (It’s more physically challenging now. It’s harder, but it was a
very fun experience and bonding for me and Keiley),” she shares.
The mom of 5-year-old Keiley was also astounded with
the strength and perseverance her daughter revealed during the show. “She
exceeded my expectations kasi kahit 5 years old lang siya na very
feminine and petite, nagawa pa rin niya ng sobrang galling (She
exceeded my expectations because even if she’s only 5 years old, and very
feminine and petite, she was able to do everything very well).”
Traveling and dining is what bonds us together, and
we make it a point that where ever we are and whatever is were doing; there is happiness.
Happiness comes from the thing we do and eat; and what bonds us more is our
love for sweet like chocolate. There is no sweet ending like no other when you share a bar of Cadbury chocolate. A sweet ending to end what ever we have.
We dine at the Paris inspired party with cheese and wine in our table.
We value our physical appearance and we really made
a point to take care of it. We are the
envy of others if we look younger and fresher than our age. That’s for that
reason that we look for products that we know could help us along the way.
Among most Asians, the Japanese are considered to
possess not just flawless and youthful skin, but also live well beyond their
years, with a longevity that is probably the envy of others.
It is a good thing that Filipinos can now also enjoy
the benefits of not just looking young, feeling young and moving young as these
same secrets are brought to the Philippines by FINE Japan Co., Ltd.
Established in 1974, FINE Japan Co., Ltd. is a
nutraceutical company with a reputation to manufacture, research and develop

Every
time I told someone that I have five kids, they always ask as to how I was able
to manage them and handle every single one of them. There is no perfect
book to be a perfect parent, but we can always be a buddy for our child, we can
be a playmate as well.
Mothers
know what is best for their children, but sometimes, they tend to hover over
their kids and discourage them from engaging in activities that cause mess and
disarray. As creative play is the natural means for children to educate
themselves, it is important for moms to allow their little ones to be kids and
boost their intellectual, emotional and physical growth.
Breeze,
the country’s leading detergent brand, is empowering moms to help their kids
reach their full potential through the Sige Moms campaign. This involves saying
yes to learning, discoveries, and adventure, even if it means getting dirty or
having stained clothes. To help children achieve holistic growth and
development, the brand strongly believes that Sige Moms should be involved and
engaged in their kids’ lives, while allowing them to discover things on their
own.
