Frontliners, the new name for heroes


With more than 1,500 positive cases in our country and more than 70 deaths as in writing, Covid-19 has taken a toll on our fellow Filipino's health and livelihood. It is like facing an invisible enemy that needs to be contained immediately to prevent more damage.



A lot of countries took preventive measures to prevent the virus from infecting everyone, our government also implemented Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) to the whole country for 30 days to avoid local transmission, a lot of us are forced to stay at home, almost all of us needed to stop our normal daily routines to limit contact to avoid and lessen the cases of Covid-19 in our country.

I felt afraid for my family and loved ones and myself. I don't want them to catch the virus and I believe we have the same feelings for all the people that are important for us, especially the virus has not spared even the lives of the doctors and nurses who are treating the sick.

Amid this pandemic that is causing pain and sorrow to almost everyone in the world, we are still blessed with people who are brave enough to go on work and risk their lives to help us overcome this crisis, they are our brave  Frontliners.

They are our brave Doctors, Farmers, Bankers, Police, Military, Supermarket and Grocery Workers, Nurses, and Food and Health workers who work tirelessly to make sure that we can all survive this pandemic together.




During the height of panic buying, not only the basic commodities are important, almost everyone needed cash on their hand to buy what they need, and that is the reason why banks like BDO needed to be open and our brave bankers needed to dedicate their selves to ensure that there is enough cash for everyone to use and avoid chaos.

Believe me, our friendly bankers' smile lessens the worries that we feel during these times, they are #MyBankHero in this nation in need of #BANKyanihan.

That is why when I see stories on Facebook posting about the sacrifices of our Frontliners, I never fail to share or like those posts to show them support and let them know that we appreciate what they do, I would also like everyone to see these posts for us to appreciate further the efforts of our Frontliners.




Like us, they are also, parents who think of the future of their kids, siblings who are worried about their brothers or sisters' safety, friends who wish the be reunited.

Let us help our Hero Frontliners on this battle with a very simple task of staying at home and including them on our prayers to keep them safe from harm's way.

Yes Momsh, by staying at home we are contributing a lot for the safety of everyone else esp our frontliners. For being so brave going in and out of work, for those dreadful risky days treating patients, salute to all of them. We know their sacrifices are admirable and commendable knowing they have their own families too waiting at home and everyday is a battle with the enemy that can't be seen. When i saw the post, of her positivity everyday after lockdown, with no means of transportation and to provide service to BDO customers, nakakatouch and kahanga hanga ang dedications ng ating bank heroes. #MyBankHero #BANKyanihan.

Nutri 10 Plus, Vitamins Perfect For Child's Growing Needs

Summer is already here. The temperature last week was 34°c and its getting hotter everyday. We have to open our windows to make sure that we won't get suffocated because of the heat. Summer is also the season of flu, bacteria that can cause cough and build up of phlegm. Kids should always be geared with proper protection. Their body needs protection from harmful diseases. That's why I was so thankful that I used Nutri 10 vitamins for my Chelsea. This is the kind of vitamins that she really need. For sure most of you know that Chelsea is a picky eater. She only eat if we have Sinigang or gravy that she put in her steamed rice. After taking Nutri 10 for almost a month now. I noticed some changes in her appetite and daily routine.  Before, Chelsea stays up until 2 am and wakes up around 11 am. Thankfully that routine changed and she also started to eat vegetables. As a mom I'm always worried because I know that she is not getting the right nutrients that her

A quick trip down holiday memory lane

  Can you feel it? The cold breeze, holiday songs, festive decorations, and colorful lights and lanterns… it’s Christmas season, everybody! Filipinos are known to celebrate Christmas the longest – it starts with the BER months and ends in January. Along with parties and get-togethers, we also have different traditions to celebrate the yuletide season. Since I was a kid, I associated grapes and round fruits with the holiday season. My grandma used to buy a lot of grapes during the BER months and placed them on our table along with other fruits. The grapes were also hung on windows and doors to help bring in good fortune for the coming year. I remember her asking me who was eating the grapes as she noticed that they were slowly “disappearing” and I said it must have been my aunties and our cat. But… It was silly me all along, of course! My aunties ended up buying more, much to my delight.   For Christmas eve, my aunties and grandma would make their delicious fruit salad – a huge can of f
