Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra Surprise

The Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Olivier Ochanine, welcomed the holidays with a surprise treat for museum guests one Sunday afternoon. The brass group played their instruments through the 5 main galleries - even up the stairs to meet Stan the T.Rex - before joining the rest of the symphony at the Canopy Plaza. It was truly an extraordinary musical performance to the delight of many kids and adults.

Eat Your Peas, Love Your Lentils

For some people, the most interesting thing that they remember about peas is in one scene of Cartoon Network’s animated series, The Powerpuff Girls. In this early episode, Supper Villain shown in 1999, the new next-door neighbors are invited to the girls’ for dinner. The neighbor, Harold, then orders, “Eat your pea, Professor!” in what now is one of the most famous – and funniest – scenes of The Powerpuff Girls. It is a memorable scene because The Professor, a grown man, tried in an excruciating way to eat and swallow one small pea.

             A lack of information makes peas much maligned and there is much to clear about them. Like The Professor, there are people who find it difficult to eat their vegetables. But unknown to many, peas (and lentils) are two of the healthiest foods on the planet. They may be small in size, but they are a powerhouse when it comes to diet and nutrition.

            Dried peas, lentils, and chickpeas are called ‘pulses’. These are their seeds and members of the legume family that are packed with protein, fiber, anti-oxidants, calcium, and iron. According to the US Dry Pea and Lentil Council of the USDA, pulses are everything on one plate: they deliver great flavor that’s not only nutrient-dense, but also gluten-free with low allergen and low glycemic responses. They are one of the greatest additions to any diet, but especially for those who are diabetic, those who have heart problems, and those who are trying to lose weight.

The True Meaning of Support

Typhoon Yolanda left the country with almost 6,000 people dead, more than 2 million families affected and P34 million worth of properties destroyed. But despite the devastation it caused, Typhoon Yolanda did not break the Filipino spirit. If for anything, it has revealed just how truly resilient Filipinos are. Just as important, this calamity has also displayed the emphatic nature of humanity. The outpouring support from around the Philippines and all over the world gave the victims encouragement and strength to rebuild their homes, their families and their lives.

SYKES is one with the rest of the world in responding to Visayas’ call for help. Days after the storm has passed, the call center quickly organized a donation drive and reached out to different organizations for relief efforts. Some of the employees even took it upon themselves to volunteer in the repacking and delivery of the relief goods. The SYKES site in Cebu also set up a feeding program for the Yolanda victims. SYKES maybe a global company but the bayanihan spirit is evident. Seeing employees donate not just food and water, but also their time and effort is truly moving.
