Weak health systems, poor health-seeking behavior, absence of adequate road infrastructure, and lack of transportation facilities prevent Filipinos living in rural communities from accessing quality healthcare services, according to eight municipality mayors from geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDA). In a colloquium hosted by the Zuellig Family Foundation (ZFF) titled "Bridging Social and Health Inequities: The GIDA Experience," the mayors who also stand as their respective municipality's health leaders shared health challenges experienced by GIDA residents, as well as the reforms implemented to address those health gaps with the help of their local communities and ZFF. Mandaon (Masbate), Del Carmen (Surigao del Norte), Hinatuan (Surigao del Sur), Tinambac (Camarines Sur), Cataingan (Masbate), Magsaysay (Palawan), Matuguinao (Samar), and San Fernando (Camarines Sur) are among the partner municipalities of ZFF in its "Community Health Partners...

It is indeed a day of magic and surprises as we witness the new commercial, new look and my own magic moment. The day started with magic-al surprises as I played around some games and won prizes along the way.

Mommies, I believe that you can relate with this. I have five kids and it’s really was a big problem when they are on the stage when you can’t stop them on what they are doing and changing diaper time comes. I even tried to let them wear underwear with their diaper just to make sure that the diaper will fit comfortably.

With the new Huggies Dry Pants, there is now a faster, more...

I was to choose between music, dance and sports. It was actually my choice to enroll them into music and dance; taking up violin lesson and ballet class. That was more than 14 years ago and I never regret that decision because they are now known in their chosen fields.  As a sample, my 2nd daughter Jem who is a 4 th year student in UST taking up Music Education is already a member of the MPO and the current concert master of the UST Orchestra.
