InLife Sheroes shone the spotlight on women, led by Executive Chairperson and InLife Sheroes prime mover Nina D. Aguas, and InLife Dreamweaver, Megastar Sharon Cuneta, in an afternoon program that celebrated its achievements in the last five years. 


Aside from Ms. Cuneta, other performers included veteran actress, singer and comedienne Mitch Valdez, multitalented performer Aryn Cristobal , Stand-up performer Nicki Morena. Versatile comedienne KaladKaren hosted the event. 


Ms. Aguas recalled how from a goal of reaching one million Filipino women three years after its inception in 2019, InLife Sheroes, now 5 years old, has reached more than 6.5 million Filipino women through various on-ground and online activities. 



“InLife Sheroes will reach out to more Filipino women so that they become empowered through financial education and inclusion. This will be done through various digital/online and on-the-ground initiatives nationwide coupled with partnerships with various like-minded organizations.”


InLife Sheroes, InLife’s flagship program for women empowerment, was established in partnership with the  International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group. It aims to reach out to the relatively untapped segment of the women in the Philippines, especially women entrepreneurs who need life and health protection as well as financial solutions to expand their businesses. InLife Sheroes’ four focus areas are financial literacy, health and wellness, women-specific solutions, and access to social and business networks.


In order to exemplify these, InLife forged strategic partnerships with like-minded organizations such as the Philippine Business Coalition for Women Empowerment, the University of the Philippines – Manila’s Mu Sigma Phi, I Can Serve Foundation, Imaginable Impact, For The Women Foundation, Connected Women and major hospitals in the country among others, aside from its bancassurance partner UnionBank of the Philippines, associate Insular Health Care, and social commitment arm Insular Foundation, Inc. 


Recently, InLife launched a critical illness life insurance plan called Resilience Female Cancers, aimed at providing coverage for women who would suffer from nine kinds of cancers such as: breast, ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancer; uterine sarcomas, malignant mixed mullerian tumors, malignant germ cell tumors, fallopian tube cancer and leiomyosarcomas.


Meanwhile, Ms. Cuneta, a Shero herself, launched a video series on her YouTube channel, with the first episode discussing the importance of choosing a healthier lifestyle and preparing for the financial impact of health emergencies. 


During the anniversary show held at the Rigodon Ballroom of the Manila Peninsula on March 12, InLife also launched the InLife Sheroes Awards. The Awards Program will honor Filipino women who embody the four pillars of InLife Sheroes: champions of financial education, advocates for physical and/or mental health and wellness, accomplished women who work for the benefit of women and business leaders whose products and services address women’s needs. Nominations should be accompanied by a 500-word  write up on the nominee’s profile, explaining her advocacies and endeavors, and must be sent to inlifesheroes@insular.com.ph from March 12 to August 15, 2024.

Experience a Life-Changing Evening of Wisdom, Meditation and Happiness with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

$

It is easy to get lost in the distractions and noise of everyday life. But achieving peace of mind is possible especially with the help of people who can give us much-needed guidance, strength and even clarity during our moments of stress and adversity. 


That is the mission of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar– a world renowned humanitarian leader, spiritual teacher and ambassador of peace who will be in Manila for an unforgettable evening of wisdom, meditation and happiness on April 5, 2024 from 6-8PM at The Fifth at Rockwell, Powerplant Mall, Makati.  



At “In Joy with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar,” attendees will experience Gurudev’s wisdom which has touched the lives of millions of people across different cultures, nationalities and religions in over 180 countries. His impact has led to the creation of two of some of the world’s largest volunteer-based organizations, namely, the Art of Living founded in 1981 and the International Association for Human Values (IAHV) in 1997. 


Art of Living offers educational and self-development programs that aim to eliminate stress, bolster mental health and well-being, and build resilience through evidence-based breathwork and meditation techniques, while IAHV focuses on humanitarian, conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and sustainable development work. Both organizations have benefitted more than 500 million people worldwide through various courses, projects and initiatives, including 15,000 people in the Philippines alone. 


The cornerstone of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s teachings is the Sudarshan Kriya (SKY) – a simple but powerful breathing technique that has been demonstrated in over 100 independent peer-reviewed scientific studies to significantly reduce depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress; boost immunity; improve sleep; and increase life satisfaction; among other benefits. A recent study among Yale University students compared the SKY technique to two other programs (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Emotional Intelligence) and showed that SKY had the highest results of all the programs, benefiting stress, depression, mental health, mindfulness, positive emotion, and social connectedness. There are currently 45 U.S. universities, including Harvard, Yale, MIT, Stanford, that are teaching the SKY technique to its students through IAHV’s SKY Campus Happiness program. CNN has called the programs “Life changing”, while U.S. President Joe Biden has described Art of Living as an organization “with an incredible following that cuts across all religions, cultures and backgrounds. A very, very difficult thing to do in today’s world”, and commended Gurudev for all his work in promoting peace, combatting violence and drug addiction, and empowering the youth. 


At 67 years old, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar travels the world passionately, helping people by sharing his wisdom in various forms. With his significant global contributions, Gurudev has to date received 26 honorary doctorates and 55 government honors including the highest civilian awards of Colombia, Mongolia, Paraguay, and Suriname. Twenty-nine days have been named after him in various cities and states across the USA and Canada. He is an author of “Notes for the Journey Within”, which was named Wall Street Journal bestseller. He has also been an invited key note speaker at distinguished venues such as the United Nations and the European Parliament. 


Art of Living and IAHV Philippines invite you to this rare opportunity to experience wisdom, meditation and happiness with such a globally respected spiritual and humanitarian leader. 


The “In Joy with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar” event is made possible through its sponsors: Standard Insurance, Wings Publication International, Security Bank, Jollibee, Oakley, Speedo and Healthy Foodie. Special thanks to Shangri-La The Fort, Pandaworldz photography and Mr. R. Chua. 


Book early as seats are limited. To purchase tickets (Price starts at Php800. Early bird: Php500) visit www.artofliving.org. For inquiries contact Lorna 0917 848 4898 or Julie 0917 706 1175.

The Insular Foundation has turned over educational assistance to Grade 6 students in three public elementary schools.   


The Foundation distributed school uniforms, shoes, bags, school supplies and hygiene kits to 257 Adopt-A-Scholar beneficiaries from Bayanan Elementary School Main and Alabang Elementary School Main in Muntinlupa City, and Balili Elementary School Main in Benguet. The Foundation also awarded cash gifts to the top three scholars from these schools.    



Insular Foundation Program Manager Teresita T. Melad said InLife employees support the Adopt-A-Scholar Program as their way of sharing their blessings with others. 


“Every year for six consecutive years, InLife employees donate to Insular Foundation’s Adopt-A-Scholar Program. InLife employees hope that all our scholars can finish elementary education and move up to secondary and college levels,” she said.  



Sean Cauanan, Grade 6 student from Alabang Elementary School, thanked Insular Foundation for the educational assistance. “Lubos po kaming nagpapasalamat sa lahat ng tulong na ibinibigay ng Insular Foundation sa amin. Hinding-hindi po namin ito malilimutan. Babaunin po namin ito hanggang makamit po namin ang tagumpay. Huwag po sana kayong tumigil na tumulong pa sa iba.” 


Dr. Edizer Lacqueo, Principal of Bayanan Elementary School Main, expressed appreciation to Insular Foundation for being the school’s partner over the years. “Nagpapasalamat kami sa Insular Foundation dahil sa walang-sawa nilang pagtulong sa ating mga estudyante sa loob ng anim na taon, may pandemya man o wala. Katuwang natin ang Insular Foundation hindi lamang sa programang ito, kung hindi sa iba pang may kinalaman sa pagsusulong ng edukasyon,” Lacqueo said. 


Dr. Shella Navarro, Principal of Alabang Elementary School, for her part, thanked Insular Foundation for providing enrichment activities to teachers. “Nagpapasalamat kami sa Insular Foundation dahil hindi lamang mga estudyante ang tinulungan sa nakaraang anim na taon, kung hindi pati na sa aming mga guro dito sa Alabang Elementary School sa pamamagitan ng iba’t ibang enrichment activities.” 


Established in 1963, the Insular Foundation is the corporate giving subsidiary of InLife, and is one of the first corporate foundations in the Philippines.

McDonald’s PH Levels Up Their Best-Ever Burger Experience With Exciting New Dishes!

$

0

Building on their commitment to delivering the Best-Ever Burger Experience, McDonald’s introduces new, nostalgic sides that will elevate the entire meal experience.

Since July 2023, McDonald’s introduced many small changes in every layer of their already iconic burgers to make one big difference their customers can taste.

At the heart of McDonald’s Best-Everrr Burgers and the star for this year: their Double Cheeseburger, are the upgraded buns, which boast a softer texture and a shiny glaze that makes them moist chewy, and toastier to golden brown perfection.

But the improvements don’t stop there because the cheese is melted to the right temperature, ensuring just the right amount of satisfying meltiness, the 100% beef patties are juicier thanks to a wider gap in the flattening grill, and the vegetables fresher with a 60% reduction in stored vegetables. It’s no wonder McDonald’s is bannering their Best-Ever Burgers which are truly hotter, juicier, and tastier vs previous recipe too!


 

To further give its menu a more Filipino flavor profile, it is pairing the Double Cheeseburger with new items whose tastes were inspired by popular flavor profiles back in the 1980s and 1990s.
 
“By incorporating familiar Filipino flavors into our menu, we are not only catering to the Filipino palate but also creating a shared experience across generations,” said Katrina Lee-Chua, Director for Marketing & Channels.
 
The new side selections include the Sweet Corn McShaker Fries, which has a sweet and salty taste with a distinct sweet corn flavor shaken into McDonald’s World-Famous Fries. A complement to its flavor is the chocolatey, nutty, and sweet ChocNut Sundae and McCafe ChocNut Frappe, whose tastes remind one of the popular Filipino sweet treat -- all of which will be available for a limited time only!
 
“With our Best-Everrr Burgers and new nostalgic sides, we aim to create unforgettable moments and deliver feel-good experiences that keep our fans of all ages coming back for more,” said Lee-Chua.
 
The McDonald’s Sweet Corn McShaker Fries can be enjoyed ala carte in Medium, Large or BFF, or as your fries upgrade to any meal. The ChocNut Sundae likewise may be enjoyed ala carte or as an add-on to your meal for only Php 55 while the ChocNut Frappe is available in Medium and Large ala carte or as an upgrade to your drink at branches of McDonald’s with McCafe only.
 
Exciting promotions of the new items will be available through the McDonald’s App in the coming week! To stay updated on McDonald’s Philippines’ latest products and promotions, follow its official Facebook and Instagram accounts and join its Viber community. 04/07/2024 (The Lifestyle Portal)

Quality You Can Trust. Gone are the days of subpar dupes. Today's offerings boast impressive formulas and performance, often rivaling their high-end counterparts.

Beyond the dupes though, what makes local brands stand out is their unique stories and personalities too! Many local brands have inspiring values, making your purchase more than just a beauty product.

Ready to join the dupe trend? Here are some amazing examples to get you started:

EB Matte Colorlock Lippie (P295) - This smudge-proof, one-swipe wonder rivals Nars Powermatte (P2,000) with its buttery smooth finish, perfect for our humid climate.

Nichido Final Powder (P150) - Who needs Laura Mercier's Loose Powder (P2,000) when you have Nichido? This heritage, budget-friendly hero boasts superior oil control and a lightweight formula.

Spotlight Serum Cushion Foundation (P895) - This local find offers comparable coverage and a dewy skin-like glow to Laneige's Neo Cushion Glow Foundation (P2,500).

DITO Telecommunity, the fastest-growing telecom provider in the country, launches DITO SA PUSO KO- a campaign that celebrates DITO subscribers' love and loyalty to the brand, featuring the Philippines’ most popular and sought-after real-life couple, Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera.

In a significant leap forward of being the Rated # 1 Mobile Network in the Philippines, DITO Telecommunity, the fastest-growing telecom provider in the country, proudly launches its newest campaign, DITO SA PUSO KO, featuring Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera, the stars of the top-grossing Filipino film of all time - Rewind. This campaign celebrates their love for DITO with all the DITOZENS who motivate DITO's constant pursuit of excellent customer satisfaction and digital innovations.

 

 

The release of the heartwarming online video with a special rendition of the iconic Filipino song "Dito Sa Puso Ko" captures the meaning of DITO's latest milestone of being the Rated #1 Mobile Network in the Philippines as awarded by Ookla, the global leader in network intelligence and connectivity insights.

This campaign underscores DITO's unwavering dedication to enriching the lives of the Filipino people, providing them with reliable connectivity and innovative solutions to help turn their digital aspirations into reality. It also reflects DITO's growing fan base, with more and more Filipinos subscribing to its quality products and services.

Meanwhile, here is our live video coverage during the event. Let's watch this:

 


"Our newest campaign isn't just about showcasing our products and services; it's about celebrating the mutual love that we have with our millions of DITOzens. Galing na mismo sa mga subscribers namin, as evidenced by the Ookla Rated #1 Mobile Network award, napusuan na talaga nila ang DITO. Truly grateful that we are now number one in their hearts and minds," said Evelyn Jimenez, DITO Chief Revenue Officer-Consumer.

#1 power couple DongYan now joins the Rated # 1 Mobile Network in PH

Renowned for their charm and charisma on and off screen, DITO brings in Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera, the stars of Rewind, as the power couple behind this new and exciting chapter in DITO's journey.

"Launching this campaign with Dingdong and Marian, the newest members of the DITO family, is a pivotal move to encourage more Filipinos to experience our next-generation technology. As we all know, Dingdong and Marian are not just big names in the Philippine entertainment industry; they are icons that inspire positive change and growth across diverse communities. Being the digital stars of DITO signifies not just a collaboration but a sweeping movement across the country—a shared vision of empowering and connecting more Filipinos nationwide," said Jasper Evangelist, DITO Brand and Marketing Director.

In the recently released online video of DITO SA PUSO KO, Dingdong and Marian were initially seen as the only ones with hearts. Eventually, hearts blasted all over the place, spreading the DITO love to everybody. This scene reflects the journey of DITO; through the power of high-speed connectivity and value-for-money products, along with the DITOzens' constant support and trust, DITO is now loved by millions of subscribers nationwide. 

And here is the new DITO TVC featuring the power couple:

 

 

"At the outset, breaking into the market was a really a daunting challenge, specially amidst the long-standing duopoly.  We needed to fight for our place on the table and establish who we are as a telco brand and what we really value as a company. Armed with a customer-centric mentality and a passion to make a difference , DITO thrived and flourished. We only started with thousands of subscribers, and now, after three years, we have millions of DITOzens who love and trust our brand and our products. And because of that, we are really grateful." Jimenez added.

Embracing this milestone and embarking on a new chapter with Dingdong and Marian is not merely a measure of success but a call to further elevate DITO's standards.

"As we embrace this achievement with grateful hearts, we also acknowledge that this is just the beginning of our journey. Moving forward, we remain steadfast in our commitment to provide, consistent customer satisfaction, value-driven products, and inclusive next-generation technology for the Filipino people," Jimenez concluded. 04/13/2024 (The Lifestyle Portal)

Mylo Speech Buddy App Launched on World Autism Awareness Day to Accelerate Speech Development of Children with Autism

$

0

This tech platform, utilizing a video modeling method, aims to complement the efforts of speech therapists and medical professionals in accelerating the speech development of individuals within the Autism spectrum.

In conjunction with World Autism Awareness Day, Mylo Speech Buddy officially launched a pioneering Speech Development System designed to assist individuals with speech delays and diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Aiming to aid nonverbal children in developing from zero words to their first word, the app employs a video modeling method and provides clear enunciation guidance for parents, fostering speech development from the comfort of their homes.

 

 

To ensure its efficiency in further aiding ASD and speech delay, the app closely collaborated with speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and medical professionals who prioritize the unique needs of individuals within the autism spectrum. Its team is composed of parents who have personal experience raising children with ASD, coupled with extensive expertise in content development for preschool and special education.

Vincent Rocha, President and CEO of Mylo Speech Buddy, emphasized the app's pivotal role within the autism community, "Mylo Speech Buddy is a powerful platform that enables parents to actively support their child's speech development right at home. It enhances and works alongside the valuable contributions of speech therapists and medical professionals, adding to a holistic approach to speech development rather than substituting professional care."

Rocha also recalled his personal struggles and the app's efforts to improve for the autism community. "As a parent of a child with autism, I draw inspiration from the challenges my son, Noah, faced when diagnosed at the age of two," he explained. "Our mission is to bolster individuals with autism in developing verbal abilities and to foster genuine support within the autism community."

ASD, commonly known as autism, is a global condition affecting approximately 1% or 75 million individuals worldwide. In the Philippines, around 1.2 million cases of ASD are reported and approximately one in 100 children is diagnosed with autism. This underscores the scarcity of accessible and affordable occupational and speech therapy services for Filipino parents with children diagnosed with ASD. With this, Mylo Speech Buddy wants to emphasize that early intervention is crucial for enhancing learning, communication, social skills, and fostering positive changes in underlying brain development.

 

 

The tech platform will release a series of "Ausome Stories" videos on social media starting on World Autism Awareness Day on April 2, 2024. These videos will feature 10 real-life families with members on the autism spectrum, showing glimpse into their daily lives, challenges, journeys, instances of happiness, along with the stereotypes and societal judgments they encounter.

Rocha also highlighted the importance of storytelling in fostering understanding and empathy, "Ausome Stories allows us to share the diverse experiences of individuals with autism, celebrating their strengths and achievements."

Co-founder Enrico Aquino also stressed the significance of supporting autism communities, stating, "The launch of Mylo Speech Buddy represents a significant milestone in raising awareness, understanding, and supporting individuals with autism, particularly as the world observes World Autism Awareness Day."

By leveraging the power of technology and compassion, Mylo Speech Buddy aims to pave the way for a brighter future, serving as a collaborative partner in therapy and support. 04/13/2024 (The Lifestyle Portal)



ABOUT MYLO SPEECH BUDDY

Established in July 2023 by Vincent Rocha, Enrico Aquino, and filmmaker Mark Meily, Mylo Speech Buddy is a rapidly growing Filipino startup company. It offers an innovative speech development app tailored to assist children with speech delays, especially those on the autism spectrum. The app is readily available for download on both the App Store and Google
Play Store platforms.

The company was established to address a personal challenge encountered by its founders, stemming from the scarcity of therapists. This challenge is not unique to local families but is also experienced internationally by those within the Ausome community.

Mylo collaborates closely with speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and medical professionals who prioritize the unique needs of children within the autism spectrum.

Mylo was also a notable finalist on the 9th season of CNN Philippines’ “The Final Pitch”, a contender in the Department of Trade and Industry backed-SLINGSHOT x Venture Pilipinas Pitch Competition, and 1st runner up at the PLDT and Smart Startup Innovation Challenge.

Limited-Edition Tanduay Heritage Rum Celebrates Brand’s Tradition of Excellence

$

0

Tanduay commemorates 170 years of mastery at rum-making with the launch of the Tanduay Heritage, a blend of rums matured through inter-island tropical aging.

“Tanduay Heritage pays homage to our Spanish roots in rum-making, back to our founding in 1854 during the Spanish period in our history. It also represents the brand’s strive for excellence throughout the years as it is blended from Tanduay’s finest reserves from different parts of the country,” said Roy Sumang, Tanduay International Business Development Manager.

 

 

Crafted From the Philippines’ Finest

While Tanduay Heritage is a Spanish-style rum, it is 100% crafted by Filipinos and was made in the country’s different islands. It is made from the reserved rums of Tanduay’s aging warehouses in Quiapo, Cabuyao, and Negros, and were column-distilled in Batangas and Negros.

The molasses used in making Tanduay Heritage also came from Negros, and the reserved rums that went into it were aged up to 19 years in oak barrels that were once used for bourbon.

For its packaging, Tanduay Heritage comes in an accordion-type gift box in black with streaks of gold, symbolizing a treasure that is being unveiled. Its bottle is also black and has a natural cork.

A Taste of Tanduay Heritage


Tanduay Heritage has a dark amber color, with elegant and sweet aromas of dried tropical fruits, vanilla, oak, and caramel. It has a medium, smooth, and fruity body and tastes of toffee, creme caramel, pepper, oak, and honey. It has a warming medium-long finish manifesting nuances of molasses cookie and raisin. It is bottled at 40% ABV.

 



 

Only 10,000 bottles of the Tanduay Heritage were made in a one-time production. It is available only until supplies last.

“This is one of the most expensive rums that we are introducing. In the U.S., it will retail at around $80 and here in the Philippines, it will be around PhP4,000,” Sumang said.

Tanduay Heritage is now available for purchase at select local and international stores. It will be available at shots.ph by April. For inquiries, please call Roy Kristoffer Sumang or Rianna Juarez at 8790-0500. 04/13/2024 (The Lifestyle Portal)

Uratex Monoblock, the trusted Filipino plastic furniture brand in the market, amplifies its “Bawal ang Marupok” campaign with a hilarious bang reflecting Filipino values of resilience amidst challenges, facing it with a touch of humor, and finding joy within the struggle.

The landmark initiative “Bawal Ang Marupok” positions Uratex Monoblock as both a trailblazer and a standard of its own, with Uratex Monoblock receiving local certifications from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Bureau of Philippine Standards (DTI-BPS), and the only brand to achieve Level 5 certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the highest plastic furniture standard in the country. The campaign was launched last year as part of the brand’s 30th anniversary. 

 

 

In its recent short video advertisement, viewers are transported into a familiar scenario where a young girl, seated on a Uratex Monoblock, is seen admiring her crush from afar. Despite the girl’s funny and over-the-top antics and reactions, the Monoblock remains intact. The girl may have fallen, but the Uratex Monoblock remains firm and reliable, ready to support in any situation—a glaring testament to its durability, quality, and strength, even in the most playful of situations.

“For over 30 years, Uratex Monoblock has continued its promise of providing quality comfort to Filipino homes. Our distinctions reflect our unwavering commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction, which caters to our customers’ comfort and peace of mind. With this, our products have surpassed a series of tests, including stress and drop testing, and ergonomic assessments, to ensure the brand's promise,” said Mr. Dindo Medina, Business Unit Director of Uratex Monoblock.

Similar to the girl in the video, we encounter daily scenarios that are often seen as 'marupok' or fragile. Through this campaign, we are reminded to be wise and prioritize the quality and safety that Uratex Monoblock guarantees in every piece. Investing in these sturdy, quality home furniture items is essential to ensure the safety and comfort of your loved ones, backed by a safety seal and reliable seat load capacity. In addition to the certifications, Uratex Monoblock can withstand up to 200 kilograms of weight, equivalent to the weight of three full-grown adults.

Uratex Monoblock offers a diverse range of home essentials that are carefully crafted, ensuring that the brand caters to various consumer preferences and home aesthetics. With common essentials like the 101 Classic, Americana, and Sofie Chair, they offer traditional monoblock chairs found in conventional Filipino households, ensuring that each chair not only retains its familiar appeal, but also upholds Uratex’s standards.

On the other hand, they have a more trendy line that boasts innovative and contemporary designs such as the Olympia Armchair, Charlotte Bistro, and Marciana chair, seamlessly blending functionality and aesthetics and adding a touch of elegance and chicness to every living space.

This shared value of resilience forms the cornerstone of Uratex Monoblock's commitment to delivering products that withstand the test of time, ensuring that every piece enhances the comfort and quality of life for consumers, no matter the decade.

“With a longstanding presence in Filipino homes, Uratex Monoblock reflects the resilience and adaptability ingrained in Filipino culture. Just as Filipinos navigate life's challenges with determination and grace, Uratex products embody durability and longevity, making them enduring companions for generations to come,” shared Mr. Medina.

The “Sulyap” ad is just the first of the many exciting executions the campaign has in store for its renewed “Bawal Ang Marupok” campaign, showcasing not only Uratex’s superior products but also the indomitable Filipino spirit.

Don’t miss out on the laughter! Check out the surprising twist by watching the video on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. For more information on Uratex and its products, visit https://uratex.com.ph/collections/monoblocs.
