  The Department of Health (DOH) recently received over 5,000 blister packs of superfood ORGANIQUE Acai freeze-dried health supplement capsules to support frontliners and healthcare workers from at least 13 beneficiary institutions amid the prolonged pandemic and emergence of COVID-19 variants in the country. As part of its nationwide Immunostrong campaign, Organique Inc. officially turned over the donation to the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care (PITAHC), which the DOH designated for the distribution and delivery of the 5,644 blister packs in time for the 123rd anniversary of DOH. Marketing Manager for Organique Cristina Go said that the health of medical frontliners and healthcare workers need to be prioritized as they have been selflessly and courageously risking themselves to virus exposure while taking care of patients almost 24/7 since the country declared a state of public health emergency in March 2020. “We are proud to support the DOH in continuo

The internet is a wonderful place for information, entertainment, and social networking for kids and adults alike. But with the proliferation of fake news, explicit content, and cyber bullying, it’s not a very safe space, even for adults. The web is an even more dangerous place for children in low-income countries like the Philippines where access to low-cost internet and mobile devices is widespread and parental control and adult supervision is lax due to various socio-economic factors. In fact, the country is considered one of the world’s top hot spots for online child sexual exploitation among 10-14 year-olds. This is the situation that has prompted Terre de Hommes-Netherlands, an international non-governmental organization advocating and working for the prevention of child exploitation in 17 countries including the Philippines, to develop a revolutionary new digital app that’s totally safe and secure for young users including children. Called Voice for Change, the app was co-crea

  Maraming Pilipino ang nangangarap makapag patayo ng kanilang sariling negosyo, at sa mga pinalad na makapagsimula ng kanilang negosyo ay makikita  mo ang kanilang dedikasyon  upang mapalago at mapagbuti ito. Ngunit may mga pagkakataon na  matumal o hindi inaasahang pangyayari na maaring magdulot ng kakulangan ng kapital para sa Negosyo. Sa mga ganitong pagkakataon, kadalasang nagiging sandigan ng ating mga kababayan ay ang pag aapply sa mga loan. Siguradong naranasan na ng mga maliliit na negosyante ang ma-hassle sa pag-apply ng loan.

Sa BDO Network Bank (BDONB), mas pinadali ang proseso at simple lang ang requirements sa pag-aapply ng loan.  At higit sa lahat, siguradong mabibili ang planong additional inventory/equipment para makapag-expand ng negosyo dahil hanggang P1 milyon ang maaring maipahiram Sa pama

  Over the past year, working from home has gone from the exception to the norm. The convenience of foregoing hours stuck in traffic, as well as being safe from the pandemic, directly translates to increased happiness, efficiency, and productivity. Consumers were quick to transition at home. However, not all setups were conducive as a workspace. One of the biggest issues that arose was the requirement for proper computer monitors. One of the segments that grew the most over the past year has been monitors. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), in the 4th quarter of 2020, the monitor market grew 16.9% year over year with shipments surpassing 39.2 million units worldwide. LG Electronics, always at the forefront of innovation, has seen this surge and developed new line of monitors that improve upon existing technology in order to help users even more. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer, a budding streamer, or just working from home, LG has a monitor that’s perfect for you.

  For Filipino families, merienda is a tradition typically enjoyed twice a day, either between breakfast and lunch, and between lunch and dinner. But beyond this, it’s also as good a time as any to catch up and bond over light and easy-to-prepare delicious food.   Add a twist to your family’s usual merienda to make them more fun and exciting. Here are five activities worth a try:     Do the no-phone tower challenge   Distractions can occur during merienda time, so one way to avoid them is by setting aside phones and tablets during merienda. Of course, rules are no fun, so turn it into a challenge instead. Do this by stacking all of your phones at the center of the table. The challenge is this: the first one to get their phone from the tower gets a penalty, like cleaning up after merienda.     Play games   What is merienda without yummy snacks?
