Ito ang Dugong Pinoy! 3 Mommies Share How They Keep Their Blood Healthy to Strengthen Their Immunity

2020 has presented numerous challenges to Filipinos, more so, to women. The stress and pressure of pushing forward has left a lot of Filipinas with more on their plates than they could handle. Despite this, women have continued to be the main care providers of their homes, their children, all on top of maintaining a full-time career.

This leaves us wondering, how do Filipinas keep their bodies healthy for their families? We asked three Filipinas how they were able to push through with their daily responsibilities on top of taking good care of their loved ones, and still serve as a greater inspiration for many women.

Besides the usual chores and daily tasks, Mommy Jenica shares that she has been busy with her home-based business making cakes and baked goods. With a business that requires her to exert time and attention to detail being loaded with multiple orders, this leaves her exhausted. "’Yung pagod ka na pero mas napagod ka sa ligpitin. But thankfully I have my husband... to help me.” And yet she continues to struggle keeping her health in check since she took on more responsibilities in their household.

Mommy Anne on the other hand, found herself decluttering as her biggest and most fulfilling challenge on top of taking care of her family. She juggles her night shift full-time job and being a full-time mom during the day. “Sleep was something that was so scarce. Still is. And I’m definitely feeling the adverse impact to my health.”

While for Mommy Ria, due to the educational system shifting to homeschooling, she had to take initiative as her child’s teacher. “Preparing lessons and activities took my time and energy on top of the usual household chores and part time work.”

Like many Filipinas, they have a lot of tasks to do on the daily, which leads them to skip meals and overwork. According to Mommy Anne, the past year has led her to closely monitor her health, which many moms can relate to. With their careers and household responsibilities happening all at the same time, it’s easy to lose track of their immunity. How do they maintain their blood healthy? With the help of Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+).

By eating nutritious meals, practicing regular exercise, getting proper sleep, and taking Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) to help maintain their blood health and keep their immunity at its peak. Through these routines they’re able to keep up with their tight schedules and provide the care that their families need.

 

Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) is an iron supplement with vitamins and minerals that helps to replenish iron stores and increases red blood cell levels in the body. It has ferrous gluconate, a type of iron salt which allows better absorption of iron in the body, Folic acid, and vitamin B12 which are vital for production of red blood cells and during pregnancy. It also contains Vitamin C which helps improve iron absorption, and Copper sulphate and manganese sulphate that helps in the metabolic processes of blood cell production. 

Recommended intake is one to two capsules daily, during or after meals, or as prescribed by your doctor.

As a blood health ally of many Filipinas, Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) helps to treat iron deficiency anemia that can lead to decreased immunity and increased susceptibility to infection. Iron deficiency anemia happens when the blood has a lower amount of red blood cells or hemoglobin than normal. This can cause the body to feel weak, tired, dizzy, look pale, and experience headaches. 

As 2020 nears its end, Filipinos are hopeful for the positive changes that the new year holds especially to their family’s health. Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) supports empowered women to maintain their blood health in check and keep their immunity at its peak so they can continue to provide the care that their family needs, while being able to accomplish their daily tasks.

If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

Jollibee Opens First Cloud Kitchen in Singapore

Adapting to the needs of its customerzs in the changing business environment, the Jollibee Group opened its first cloud kitchen in Singapore today, August 10, 2020, for its Jollibee brand. Cloud kitchens are unmarked 

food production and delivery hubs without any dine-in facility in discreet and lower rent 

urban locations.

The opening of Jollibee Singapore’s inaugural cloud kitchen comes as demand for its food delivery continues to grow significantly. The business contribution of Jollibee Singapore’s Delivery has more than quadrupled compared to last year – from 10% in 2019 to 45% in 2020.

The Jollibee Tampines Cloud Kitchen employs the same heightened safety standards that can be seen in all Jollibee Singapore outlets. The crew wear masks at all times and follow physical distancing and stringent food safety protocols

“As cloud kitchens roll out, we will be able to reach more consumers and fulfill more 

orders. The Jollibee Group is able to expand more quickly and cost-efficiently through this innovative store model, while maintaining the same safety and quality standards of our food,” said Ernesto Tanmantiong, Chief Executive Officer of the Jollibee Group.

The cloud kitchen in Singapore is the third cloud kitchen to open in the Jollibee Group, 

with more slated to open soon. Cloud kitchens are part of the Jollibee Group’s overall transformation strategy to adapt to new customer habits and meet the continued strong demand for delivery amid the pandemic.

 

Customers may order from the Jollibee Tampines Cloud Kitchen via FoodPanda, GrabFood, and Deliveroo. Delivery riders employ contactless procedures to help ensure food safety.

Jollibee Group opened its very first cloud kitchen in the UAE last March, which continues to outperform targets. In the US, its recently opened cloud kitchen in Chicago’s bustling River North neighborhood was also well-received. Tampines is a residential area in the region of Tanah Merah located in the East Region of Singapore. The Jollibee cloud kitchen in Singapore is open from 10 am to 8 pm.

Crowd Store Finder : A website for locating nearby open stores

Crowd Store Finder

A website launched for locating nearby open stores,
pharmacies during quarantine period 

MARCH 25, 2020 - As most establishments in the Philippines close due to the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) making it both hard and risky to go out to buy goods, a website is launched to help locate those that are still open.

Called ‘Crowd Store Finder’, the website works like Waze or Google Maps that scans through the user’s neighborhood to find stores, banks, pharmacies, and remittance centers that remain operational.

Under government guidelines, only establishments selling basic commodities are allowed to open during the quarantine period. This is to prevent people from staying outdoors that increases their risk of catching COVID-19.

Aside from knowing the open establishments, users can also chat with their neighbors who are currently using the website to ask questions and seek further assistance.

‘Crowd Store Finder’ relies on information shared by volunteers from Good Vibes Digital PH, a group organized by Trinmar Boado, winner of the Clash of Codes competition at Multisys Technologies in 2019.

Boado, who works at the Department of Science and Technology’s Metals Industry Research and Development Center (DOST-MIRDC), said more than 100 volunteers are coordinating safely from their own homes.

“This technology reminds us that sharing of info does not just save the time of other people but also their lives,” shared the IT expert.

To use the website, visit bit.ly/CrowdStoreFinder on any mobile, tablet or computer devices. Follow Crowd Store Finder on Facebook at fb.com/CrowdStoreFinder.

An Evening With 98° - The Philippine Tour 2020

An Evening With 98° 

- The Philippine Tour 2020

Pop/R&B vocal group 98 Degrees have announced that the quartet of Nick and Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons, and Justin Jeffre, will be bringing their greatest hits to the Philippines dubbed as "An Evening with 98 Degrees" The Philippine Tour 2020."

In contrast to many of their contemporaries, 98 Degrees were founded independently before they signed a recording contract with Motown Records in 1997. Their debut album also arrived that year, featuring their first top twenty single, “Invisible Man.” Touring extensively to build their cachet and eventually migrating to Universal Records, the foursome released an impressive arsenal of successful albums (98 Degrees and Rising, This Christmas, Revelation) and radio hits (“Because of You,” “The Hardest Thing,” “This Gift,” “My Everything,” “Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche),” and “Thank God I Found You,” a collaboration with Mariah Carey and Joe that would propel them to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 2000)

How about you, What is your favorite 98° song???

All told, 98 Degrees’ album sales have exceeded ten million units internationally.

In 2002, the group went on hiatus, during which its members pursued a wide array of solo projects – musical and otherwise. A decade after putting the 98 Degrees banner into semi-retirement, the quartet announced in 2012 they would be recording their fifth studio album and began touring again. 

In February 2020, Big Hot Events Management brings An Evening with 98 Degrees the Philippine Tour and is staged to perform at the following:

February 16, 2020 SMX Convention Center Davao 

February 19, 2020 Waterfront Hotel & Casino Cebu City 

February 25, 2020 SM Mall of Asia Arena

“INEX is short for inexorable which means unstoppable and relentless as we want the name itself to be empowering. We wanted the logo to mean something, so we chose the wolf and the moon. The wolf symbolizes personal power and all that is INEXorable in every one of us; the moon is a symbol of female strength. They say when the moon is full, women are in their highest point energetically. So, we’re hoping that by wearing INEX, women will be able to bring that feeling with them,” – according to Maxine Sebastian. 

Ms Earth 2015 Angela Ong

The event was also graced by notable personalities like Sen. Pia Cayetano, beauty queen-turned image consultant Abbygale Arenas-De Leon, Ms. Earth 2015 Angela Ong, model TV-host Kelly Misa to name a few; and they had the privilege to try and enjoy the newest INEX activewear styles. The seamless structure of INEX ACTIVE sportswear is mainly made up of nylon which is soft as silk. It is also breathable, durable and odor-inhibiting in which it wicks sweat from your skin to fabric’s surface where it can evaporate. They are available in the sweetest pastels to the most energizing neons. INEX ACTIVE is passionate about finding fresh ways for women to express themselves through their activewear and ultimately sharing the joy of an active lifestyle. They are big believers in self-acceptance and self-expression.

This is why they aim to provide a variety of styles that complement every body type and to encourage women expressing themselves and embrace what makes them unique. Another core values INEX ACTIVE want to share to their customers is “It’s Cool 2 Care”.
