However, it remains to be a public health concern as it continues to affect 10.4 percent of all Filipinos, especially among high-risk groups such as young children and pregnant women. The most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency. MAGGI, the trusted ally of homecooks, calls on continued public and private efforts to ensure adequate iron intake, especially among children, to prevent the long-term effects of iron deficiency on Filipinos’ health.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Arial Nova"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPxWiPCxwUB5jorVTfdlvf5E-cgTravyZ93aEZXW_WmGkmm4J1xvgbN4E1SfdrjuF8YTaYlKlgKdc77fx3TpWRdzdK-rXsngudPQ5Fq5PtFb1lNxQNvfR0xRrtT9ldL04Tq7gd1YChlGcxWC_Azg5oB2cYD3ZXmhlv0VsADqcSHYBsF9tnO8nv8m_wBtc/s1700/Iron%20MAGGI%20infographic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1700" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPxWiPCxwUB5jorVTfdlvf5E-cgTravyZ93aEZXW_WmGkmm4J1xvgbN4E1SfdrjuF8YTaYlKlgKdc77fx3TpWRdzdK-rXsngudPQ5Fq5PtFb1lNxQNvfR0xRrtT9ldL04Tq7gd1YChlGcxWC_Azg5oB2cYD3ZXmhlv0VsADqcSHYBsF9tnO8nv8m_wBtc/s16000/Iron%20MAGGI%20infographic.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.0pt; margin-top: 0.0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Nova"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Interventions to address iron deficiency </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.0pt; margin-top: 0.0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Nova"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The World Health Organization (WHO) believes that deficiencies in micronutrients such as iron can be prevented through comprehensive strategies that focus on micronutrient supplementation, school or community-based feeding programs, nutrition education to promote a balanced diet, and food fortification. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.0pt; margin-top: 0.0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Nova"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Under the MAGGI Sarap Sustansya Advocacy, MAGGI has ongoing partnerships with the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Plant Industry (DA-BPI) to increase Filipinos’ understanding of a diversified diet, and the importance of including excellent sources of iron such as lean meats, poultry, legumes, and dark leafy greens.

When relevant nutrients are unavailable or difficult to access, food fortification – whether by the mandatory fortification of staple foods or voluntary fortification of processed foods – can help improve nutrient adequacy. In 2022, Nestlé Philippines helped families get the nutrition they need by delivering 25 bio servings of fortified food.

It is commonly found in animal and plant food, but many people don’t get enough iron in their diet. When the body's iron stores become so low that not enough normal red blood cells can be made to carry oxygen efficiently, a condition known as iron deficiency anemia develops. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.0pt; margin-top: 0.0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Nova"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">If left unchecked, this condition can have severe health consequences and affect the performance of daily tasks. In adults, iron deficiency can cause fatigue, weakness, decreased work productivity, and compromised immune function. Pregnant women with iron deficiency are at a higher risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth, adversely affecting both maternal and fetal health. Iron deficiency can have a profound impact specifically on children. It can lead to stunted growth, impaired cognitive function, and reduced immune response, making them more susceptible to infections. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.0pt; margin-top: 0.0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Nova"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">According to WHO, anemia, ‘as a public health issue, needs to be addressed from multiple perspectives and through multiple coordinated efforts – each with specific and complementary roles to collectively achieve anemia reduction and improve health and well-being’.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Nova"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> An emphasis on promoting a balanced diet, supplementation when necessary, and fortification of staple foods can enhance iron intake and combat iron deficiency, ensuring optimal health and wellbeing for all Filipinos.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.0pt; margin-top: 0.0pt; text-align: center;"><br /></p>Rockstarmommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16709676519997205427noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212743850569604276.post-49552833714663006392024-02-15T16:23:00.000-08:002024-02-15T16:23:37.251-08:00MVPs, more standouts boost PLDT High Speed Hitters for ‘strongest’ PVL lineup yet<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">With three former MVPs on board, a Filipino-Canadian scoring machine as a sophomore, and a pool of reliable standouts as holdovers, expect a far more powerful PLDT High Speed Hitters team at the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference.

With the new Gigabit Fiber Plans, Filipinos will now have access to internet speeds of up to an astounding 10 Gbps.</p><p>“We are proud to usher the Filipino into the Gigabit Era,” said Jeremiah de la Cruz, Senior Vice-President and Head of Consumer Business Home. “Our commitment is to be at the forefront of digital innovations, blazing the trail to give our countrymen the technologies which will open doors to meaningful opportunities that will make their lives better. We exemplify that today by pioneering the next generation of Fiber which allows PLDT Home to deliver Gigabit-speeds straight to the Home.” </p><p>Superior speeds and more for the Filipino </p><p>PLDT Home’s Gigabit Fiber comes in four different plans: 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, and a maximum of 10 Gbps. These mind-blowing speeds enable simultaneous ultra-fast and high bandwidth online activities for everyone at home.</p><p>In addition to the ultra-fast speeds provided by PLDT Home’s Gigabit Fiber plans, customers also get to round out their fully digital lifestyle as each Gigabit Fiber plan comes with a Gigabit modem complemented with a whole home WiFi 6 mesh system, subscriptions to IPTV and </p><p>global streaming apps, and security services for personal devices at home. </p><p>The plans don’t just give them an unmatched digital experience—they also get to enjoy exclusive VIP treatment like no other. Gigabit Fiber plan subscribers receive exclusive perks such as premium welcome kits and access to PLDT Home exclusive events and venues. </p><p>What is Gigabit speed?</p><p>Gigabit speed is the next generation of Fiber high-speed internet, pushing limits to at least 100 times faster than today’s average internet connections of 100 Mbps at home.</p><p>The Gigabit unit of measurement refers to the data transfer speed of the connection. Current plans only transmit hundreds of megabits per second which, while fast, are easily eclipsed by the next-generation speeds.</p><p>Gigabit internet essentially blows a household’s bandwidth wide open, not only providing ultra-fast connections, but keeping it consistent and reliable across many devices. This is especially useful for large families and groups who may have huge demands for a lag-free connection for everything they do in every computer and gadget—a reality which is becoming the new normal in Filipino homes.</p><p>Only a handful of countries around the world have managed to tap into the unrelenting power of Gigabit-fast internet. Developed countries such as South Korea, Japan, and the United States have it, and its presence in the Philippines puts the country among an elite roster of nations in the world that are Gigabit-ready. </p><p>Digital Innovations Leader</p><p>Pioneering the next generation fiber plans that reached maximum speeds of 10 Gbps, PLDT Home’s innovation in its country-wide fiber infrastructure is guided by the fact that internet speed not only influences the way we communicate and consume online information, but also drives innovations in industries, levels up businesses, aids in work and education, sparks creative pursuits, and enhances people’s entertainment experiences.</p><p>“As PLDT Home sets new ground for digital innovations, we foresee life, leisure, and work opportunities opening up for Filipinos. PLDT Home’s pioneering Gigabit Fiber plans will enable next-level efficiency and productivity, even smoother and more seamless entertainment, peak convenience in smart homes, and an all-around better digital lifestyle. We at PLDT are truly excited and positively welcoming Filipinos to the Gigabit Era,” said de la Cruz.</p><p>With superfast gigabits of data streaming through PLDT Home Fiber, extreme power users—those who consume at least 5 TB of data every month—can download and upload large volumes of data in a matter of seconds. Ultra-high-definition 4K video and high-demand online games can stream with no lag at all, HD movies and series can download in only a few moments, and numerous large files can be transmitted without waiting, making for better efficiency and productivity at work and school from home. </p><p>Meanwhile, as smart home technology develops at a rapid pace and more households in the Philippines embrace the future, they will need an internet that’s able to keep up and consistently power this digital ecosystem. Gigabit internet can reliably keep all the devices in your smart home running efficiently.</p><p>PLDT Home’s Gigabit Fiber plans will be available initially in select villages in Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao.</p><p>The limitless possibilities of gigabit internet thanks to PLDT Home’s Gigabit Fiber internet plans puts the Philippines on the brink of a major boost by giving Filipinos access to potentially life-changing internet speeds. </p>Rockstarmommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16709676519997205427noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212743850569604276.post-71691569128525319392024-01-14T01:16:00.000-08:002024-01-14T01:16:37.999-08:00Stream Hollywood’s biggest awards shows of 2024 live and on-demand in one subscription<p>Viewers from the Philippines can watch the Emmys, Golden Globes, and Critics’ Choice exclusively on Lionsgate Play powered by PLDT Home</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZR04I0DtO5foMeBVTBoS-wUtyKMoIerd6Rwjl8Jhp7UdTNmZI8TKhImKm5lezx2s9AuFgi55fYzrXHrGPR6tBkk32kMtPTEXSng_WAsTfBng6_Rll5AlXXkRI21Zh2v2hsBYLJjAP_WRVv7L48cVmcMZ193S5g60E1OhfjNOulD-c0Q4tz0qAJm3fpec/s720/PLDT%20Home%20x%20Lionsgate%20Play%20present%20award%20shows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="267" data-original-width="720" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZR04I0DtO5foMeBVTBoS-wUtyKMoIerd6Rwjl8Jhp7UdTNmZI8TKhImKm5lezx2s9AuFgi55fYzrXHrGPR6tBkk32kMtPTEXSng_WAsTfBng6_Rll5AlXXkRI21Zh2v2hsBYLJjAP_WRVv7L48cVmcMZ193S5g60E1OhfjNOulD-c0Q4tz0qAJm3fpec/s16000/PLDT%20Home%20x%20Lionsgate%20Play%20present%20award%20shows.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>The start of a new year means the start of another awards season honoring the best of the best in Hollywood, and 2024 has already hit the ground running.

When we shop for presents and wrap them, we use and dispose of shopping bags, gift wrappers, ribbons, tape, plastic, and gift cards in the process. While we should enjoy the season of giving, we also should not forget that the trash that comes from it will impact the environment when not disposed of properly. The new year is the best time to be more conscious and build sustainable habits to be practiced moving forward. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-5SnRIKBKFaD3NTcf3oITabKNegxFp1jphh2b170ccY0ubT0HEyrojOrPr1rTU6Hg-m877ACHR51H9g7C-riKAwBu9WKQDpKHElCXjFwYH8g1i7p8eL-G9cCu6id6uHtWO34Ps9dsbeBTZCHc3BjUZG2pB1UeIQO_RXPxiHfLi_zYHS9zm9p-jFaOk4g/s648/Watsons%20Sustainable%20Choices%20wall%20at%20The%20Block%20SM%20North%20EDSA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="402" data-original-width="648" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-5SnRIKBKFaD3NTcf3oITabKNegxFp1jphh2b170ccY0ubT0HEyrojOrPr1rTU6Hg-m877ACHR51H9g7C-riKAwBu9WKQDpKHElCXjFwYH8g1i7p8eL-G9cCu6id6uHtWO34Ps9dsbeBTZCHc3BjUZG2pB1UeIQO_RXPxiHfLi_zYHS9zm9p-jFaOk4g/s16000/Watsons%20Sustainable%20Choices%20wall%20at%20The%20Block%20SM%20North%20EDSA.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>Leading Health, wellness, and beauty retailer Watsons has always espoused sustainability and responsible consumerism by offering its customers Sustainable Choices, products made with responsibly sourced ingredients that are good for you, and better packaging made with less virgin plastics.

Make a list and check it twice – With a menu in place, it’s time to check the pantry and do an inventory of ingredients. List down the quantities of items needed before heading to the supermarket. A quick check in the grocery's online shelves can help ensure stocks and availability. Holiday traffic is real and so grocery runs should be planned in advance.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqe3Rh2paUDpwgE0WBP6AuQdxJHhmNMvHgAlBFLI6xL1H-efJkmdT2H38dxYgP0f_geR9zK4Mtlz1FPV7vCS2m-oo3lZlXZyfbQqH6srKkpHWg8YR1jouNNr09EMSgbbYf-2n15kxc3FN17zwS_8-pl3tVQIHJLOWnPZoPxOH3aJlM-2W2d2ASGeAdhMg/s3000/Beef%20Caldereta.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="3000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqe3Rh2paUDpwgE0WBP6AuQdxJHhmNMvHgAlBFLI6xL1H-efJkmdT2H38dxYgP0f_geR9zK4Mtlz1FPV7vCS2m-oo3lZlXZyfbQqH6srKkpHWg8YR1jouNNr09EMSgbbYf-2n15kxc3FN17zwS_8-pl3tVQIHJLOWnPZoPxOH3aJlM-2W2d2ASGeAdhMg/s16000/Beef%20Caldereta.jpg" /></a></div><p>3. Do a test run if cooking a recipe for the first time – Trying out a new dish can be overwhelming. With enough lead time, homecooks can do a trial and have loved ones give comments to improve on the dish. By using only the best seasonings like MAGGI Magic Sarap and its variety of Savor and cube products, they can transform any dish from pwede na to sarap-sustansya and magical levels. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgavCHcrKSMPoxPPYJ_h6Zx_OgkTRNvB5N5mle0-40B5Tk0llM7fHpz-1TxnhAif5-bs1bbWe8qjAnIhidceXpQeyJ73tDBtqgz89wfySzrq44tPb4njk2257EyjPBOjQLTLxG3P4Mq417_AFhUGI2GAz3OHNFSUfuzrdTUHAiHmkmCK3HzgtpO4-UcWxQ/s3000/Chicken%20Macaroni.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="3000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgavCHcrKSMPoxPPYJ_h6Zx_OgkTRNvB5N5mle0-40B5Tk0llM7fHpz-1TxnhAif5-bs1bbWe8qjAnIhidceXpQeyJ73tDBtqgz89wfySzrq44tPb4njk2257EyjPBOjQLTLxG3P4Mq417_AFhUGI2GAz3OHNFSUfuzrdTUHAiHmkmCK3HzgtpO4-UcWxQ/s16000/Chicken%20Macaroni.jpg" /></a></div><p>4. Make ahead whenever possible – Cooking everything all in one day can be tiring. Homecooks can start pre-cooking certain components of the dish to help lessen their kitchen load on celebration day. Meat stews, marinades, embutido, pasta sauces and cookie batter can be prepared a few days ahead. This means planning for fridge space will be crucial to ensure dishes keep well until it's time to serve them.</p><p>5. Save the fresh for last – Fruits and vegetables can be purchased in the morning to retain its freshness. Adding fresh pineapple to an all-time favorite fruit salad will elevate the dish. </p><p>6. A little help goes a long way – This is the perfect bonding time for the family, when homecooks pass on their cooking techniques and share their passion for food with their children. The joy in cooking will translate in your dish, too!</p><p>7. Give your Noche Buena table setting an added flair – Adorn the dining table with bits and pieces of Christmas to make the Noche Buena gathering even more memorable. It can be as simple as a red ceramic platter for your chosen entrée, scattering a few Christmas balls or adding candles with gold ribbons for an added touch of magic. </p><p>According to Calma, these simple tips from MAGGI are aimed at helping homecooks manage their time, resources and energy. “The holiday rush can get the best of us because we only want the best for the people we love. Proper planning can make all the difference and allow the whole family to spend more time together, celebrating and enjoying their most magical Noche Buena yet.”</p><div><br /></div>Rockstarmommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16709676519997205427noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212743850569604276.post-30533136148517194912023-12-18T04:00:00.000-08:002023-12-18T04:00:07.270-08:00PLDT Home makes Christmas more meaningful with exclusive Holideals gifts<p>PLDT Home is playing Santa this Christmas with overflowing gifts for families.

(PLDT) has been recognized at the 3rd United Nations Global Compact Network Philippines’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Awards for its Madiskarte Moms PH (MMPH) program. </p><p>Recognizing companies and programs with outstanding contributions towards sustainable development, particularly on areas of the Planet, Prosperity, and People, the SDG Awards cited MMPH for enabling digital inclusion among women, promoting decent work and economic growth, and supporting the recovery and resilience of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). </p><p>“We are happy and proud to receive this recognition for PLDT Home and MMPH. This initiative demonstrates our continuing thrusts to embed sustainability in the way we do business and promote digital inclusion in support of achieving sustainable development,” said Melissa Vergel de Dios, FVP and Head of Investor Relations and Chief Sustainability Officer at PLDT and Smart.</p><p>MMPH (“resourceful moms” in English) is an online community founded by PLDT Home in September 2020 with a group of Filipino mom entrepreneurs (mompreneurs). </p><p>Statistics show that about 33% of Filipino women lost their jobs at the height of the pandemic. MMPH fostered an active community that helps women find alternative sources of income, use digital tools to their advantage, and continuously exchange ideas and share experiences about running home-based and online businesses. </p><p>Three years since its launch, MMPH now has 170,000 community members. It has trained more than 15,000 moms, supported at least 75 businesses through the provisioning of digital kits, conducted at least 11 regular webinars and masterclasses, and produced over 160 educational videos about several areas of doing business sustainably and responsibly. MMPH has also been recognizing outstanding mompreneurs through its Annual Gawad Madiskarte Awards and active participation in various public fora and engagements. </p><p>“Our goal is to help upskill Filipino moms on how to start and grow their home-based businesses and empower them to succeed in their entrepreneurial journey, while also providing them access to digital solutions and tools,” said Cheryl Maxine Loyola, Assistant Vice President, PLDT Home Marketing, PR, Influencer Management and Brand Advocacies. </p><p>PLDT Home and MMPH continue to support mompreneurs and their employees to rise above poverty and achieve prosperity through digital inclusion and empowerment. “We believe that women can achieve financial security by becoming entrepreneurs so that they can further empower their families to achieve their dreams,” added Loyola. </p><p>MMPH supports PLDT and Smart's continuing contribution to the United Nations SDGs, particularly SDG 1: No Poverty, SDG 3: Gender Equality, and SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth. It also aligns with PLDT’s broader goal to promote inclusive technologies that can help boost livelihood opportunities among Filipinos, leaving no one behind. </p>Rockstarmommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16709676519997205427noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212743850569604276.post-60520744352184177072023-11-28T21:46:00.000-08:002023-11-28T21:46:07.430-08:00The iconic PLDT ad ‘Suportahan Ta Ka’ gets a real-life sequel<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Love communicated is love received.

Remember the iconic tagline “Suportahan Ta Ka” from the 2000s TV ad? It’s making a comeback on PLDT’s 95<sup>th</sup> anniversary campaign.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">From the Suportahan Ta Ka TV ad produced by Ace Saatchi & Saatchi, actor and model Christian Vasquez played a young medical student who asked for his dad’s permission if he could shift his degree to Fine Arts. As he confessed his plans, his doctor dad said, <i>“Kung saan ka masaya ti, suportahan ta ka</i> [Whatever makes you happy, I’ll support you!].” This one line immediately became a hit in the 2000s.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">Twenty-two years since the TV commercial was launched, Christian Vasquez comes back with a true-to-life story that makes a heartwarming sequel for the iconic ad. Christian, now with two children, faces the same circumstances with his eldest son. On PLDT’s 95<sup>th</sup> anniversary video, Christian shares his own personal story.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">The video tells the story of Christian’s real son, Jason (who also stars in the video), who’s due to take the engineering board exam soon and is at the same time working in an IT company. In the video, Jason is shown stressed and tired while reviewing for his board exam. In an online video call, Jason works up the courage to tell his dad Christian about his plan not to take the board exams and wishes to stay in his IT job.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">Christian expresses his disbelief and tries to encourage Jason to take the exam as it will open more opportunities for him being an engineer. Just as he’s about to tell his son off, he suddenly remembers the lesson he learned from his own story from 22 years ago — that he must also show support for his son’s dreams.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">At the end of the video, Christian emphatically tells his son that he supports his decision. From his dad’s “Suportahan ta ka,” Christian lets out the line “Palangga Ta Ka,” (which means “I love you”) highlighting his unconditional love and support for his son.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">Parents may not always agree with their children’s decisions, but in the end, love and meaningful communication conquer doubt. In the video campaign, PLDT highlights its message of enabling meaningful connection through every generation. From grandparents to parents and their own children, PLDT enables people to make meaningful connections even when they are far apart.

They also discussed the importance of keeping healthy habits as a family while encouraging attendees to book an online consultation with mWell’s partner health professionals through the app for free.

<p dir="ltr">The after-effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic which crippled the tourism industry can still be felt in the Philippines. However, Puerto Princesa, the “Heart of the Best Island in the World,” harnesses its vast potential not only as a destination of choice but also as a preferred center of MICE (meetings, incentives, conventions, and events) to forge ahead and move forward. </p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Paradise in Profile</b> </p>
<p dir="ltr">Puerto Princesa is the center of trade and commerce, education, communications, and public administration of Palawan. Its strategic location is within the growth corridor of the BIMP East ASEAN Growth Area. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Known for its UNESCO World Heritage site Underground River, it shares 50 percent of the tourist arrivals in Palawan and in the region, making it the biggest contributor to its economic growth. In 2020, Palawan logged a partial number of 157,051 tourist arrivals, 71,889 of which were visits to PPC. <span style="color: red;"> </span></p>
<p dir="ltr">A tropical paradise with a bustling urban center perfect for business-with-leisure trips, PP is blessed with lush rainforests and white-sand beaches hours away from the city proper, where a banking and commercial boom has made life easier for workaholics and busybodies. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Puerto Princesa is a relatively young settlement, having been established as a city only in 1970. The first settlers arrived on March 4, 1872; a date celebrated every year as the foundation day of the city. </p>
<p dir="ltr">As part of the Philippines’ last frontier, the city is rich in natural resources. It is the country’s largest city with a land area of 253,982 hectares. A chain of mountain ranges runs through the entire length of the city, dividing it into two distinct areas – the East Coast and the West Coast. </p>
<p dir="ltr">A significant portion of the city retains its indigenous vegetation, rainforest, mangroves, and coastal ecosystem, all of which support an amazing array of wildlife. In terms of species biodiversity and its wide range of ecosystems, Puerto Princesa is of national significance. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The famous and must-visit Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, which was formerly known as Saint Paul’s Subterranean River National Park, covering a protected area of 22,202 hectares is a haven to endemic flora and fauna. UNESCO has inscribed the park as a World’s Heritage Site on December 4, 1999. </p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Calendar of Events </b></p>
<p dir="ltr">With a tropical climate and the warm welcome of its people, foreign and Filipino tourists can bask in Puerto Princesa’s embrace all-year round. In January is the Chinoy Festival, which celebrates the new year with ground firecrackers at the Chinatown Center, and with dragon dances and lion dances in major malls and hotels. Every February 14 is the Love Affair with Nature, which is marked by a mass wedding as well as letting citizens express their love for Mother Nature through participating in mangrove tree planting activities. </p>
<p dir="ltr">In March is the Balayong Festival, which commemorates the founding anniversary of Puerto Princesa highlighted by street dancing, float parade and planting of Palawan Cherry Blossoms. In April is the Pangalipay sa Baybay, a summer extravaganza at the baywalk. Activities kick off with parade and fireworks display, dance competition, cheerdancing and boat race. </p>
<p dir="ltr">In June is the “Pista y ang Cagueban,” a time when citizens celebrate the Feast of the Forest and plant thousands of different tree species. </p>
<p dir="ltr">September is Tourism Month, which is celebrated with great performances, exotic cuisines and a showcase of various talents and services in the local tourism industry. Every third Sunday of September is Coastal Cleanup Day, an international activity whose objective is to preserve and safeguard Mother Earth’s resources along the shorelines. </p>
<p dir="ltr">November is the Subaraw Festival, which is a fun-and-activity-filled celebration of Puerto Princesa’s very rich biodiversity. December celebrates Light a Tree, a merry event where a giant Christmas tree is lit up to start the Yuletide Season. This comes with Christmas carols, dances, and music. </p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Mighty MICE</b> </p>
<p dir="ltr">The Department of Tourism sees the huge potential of Puerto Princesa, a city known for its remarkable attributes in MIMAROPA (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan), as a preferred location for meetings, incentives, conferences, and events (MICE). </p>
<p dir="ltr">In May, Regional Director Zeny Pallugna of DOT MIMAROPA in a discussion with City Tourism Department (CTD) chief Demetrio Alvior Jr. Said they are pushing for Puerto Princesa as a MICE destination, where tourists can be enticed to stay longer to enjoy the city’s attractions. </p>
<p dir="ltr">During the “Amos Ta Ren sa Puerto Princesa” radio show, Pallugna said that the city is well on its way into becoming a MICE location because of it is capable of hosting events such as Ironman 70.3 Puerto Princesa and an international dragon boat competition. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“Aside from that, maybe in the future we can conduct a 101 on MICE. We can do that, and then identify the different function facilities for the MICE market,” Pallugna said, as quoted by <i>Palawan News</i>, so the regional tourism office can start promoting the city at the end of the year, or next year. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Another goal for Palawan, Pallugna emphasized, is to train more community tour guides, and recalibrate their skills continuously, so they could help promote and showcase the “Filipino brand of service” globally. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“The second thing is—MIMAROPA is, whether they like it or not, we are the cruise capital of the Philippines. Imagine it, we have 139 cruise calls in the Philippines, 22 of them is in Puerto Princesa; 41 total within the MIMAROPA Region,” Pallugna pointed out. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The regional director of the DOT also mentioned that they plan to introduce the national program called “Philippine Experience” to the city, which includes the well-received Suroy-Suroy sa Sugbo, which the local tourism body plans to replicate. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Alvior, meanwhile, said that Puerto Princesa’s main focus is on the MICE industry. As such, City Mayor Lucilo Bayron actively encourages investors and venture capitalists to build convention centers in strategic areas such as Quito and the environmental estate in Barangay Sta. Lucia. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“Actually, we were discussing tourism activities, and the mayor suggested that we should expand the Quito area. There is a focus on MICE, so we are working on establishing convention centers,” Alvior was quoted by <i>Palawan News</i>. </p><p dir="ltr"><br /></p><p dir="ltr"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixuyjXF5xWnzxzTZXWSnRpGD8QZ0OfQgvdz-eD_lcPduHjLBNu_qWz0NRPR5GdhXgqq4Z_VweMGM2XVQ2-OSejYJZtK_VJRNhunhbmcEg1mhF2EipbxlLhKLvhBmMPKlMRGiHhTTS_rFvH-dpfoHmvgWDSGJs2IigyHGBTWeZxgsrgUeDnbNdnWfJqb30/s604/The%20Norwegian%20Jewel%20carrying%20with%20it%20around%203,000%20passengers%20and%20crew%20is%20the%20second%20of%20the%20six%20cruise%20ships%20calling%20port%20in%20Puerto%20Princesa..jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="340" data-original-width="604" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixuyjXF5xWnzxzTZXWSnRpGD8QZ0OfQgvdz-eD_lcPduHjLBNu_qWz0NRPR5GdhXgqq4Z_VweMGM2XVQ2-OSejYJZtK_VJRNhunhbmcEg1mhF2EipbxlLhKLvhBmMPKlMRGiHhTTS_rFvH-dpfoHmvgWDSGJs2IigyHGBTWeZxgsrgUeDnbNdnWfJqb30/s16000/The%20Norwegian%20Jewel%20carrying%20with%20it%20around%203,000%20passengers%20and%20crew%20is%20the%20second%20of%20the%20six%20cruise%20ships%20calling%20port%20in%20Puerto%20Princesa..jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Cruise Capital </b></p>
<p dir="ltr">This November, Puerto Princesa City enjoyed a surge in tourist arrivals with the celebration of the Subaraw Biodiversity Festival, which drew international participants, and the scheduled arrivals of more cruise ships as Christmas approaches. </p>
<p dir="ltr">During the opening ceremny of the Subaraw Biodiversity Festival, Mayor Lucilo Bayron said that the aim of the city to make the event international is once again gaining momentum after being adversely impacted by the pandemic. In recent years. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“We need to add more international events to attract more tourists from other countries. And this year, we have incorporated international events in the celebration – wild bird photography race, Ironman 70.3 challenge, and international dragon boat race. Our Miss Subaraw is already a national event with the winner coming from Angeles, Pampanga, and this year, we already have 10 foreign candidates,” Mayor Bayron said, as quoted by <i>Palawan News</i>. </p><p dir="ltr"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYLbg5dOxKqAQYG3TcnHlcTA_AxbI7fil2t5-Etb9F-v1GftVVmGSicfdO6LghqNLiNHloTQi25fIRgz2LHrf0xUeuKtA7Xht3jyMoqMbG7whyhaVYWP3hvVrMsXVHzvCQJcpIH63oQBHhMDg1GPDDPv1pouRmKQ9uPoCCf1zusySp3c0fRRjvKzkUGD4/s415/Folk%20dancers%20hired%20by%20the%20City%20Tourism%20Department%20welcome%20the%20passengers%20and%20crew%20of%20the%20luxury%20cruise%20ship%20MS%20Silver%20Whisper%20as%20it%20arrives%20in%20Puerto%20Princesa..jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="260" data-original-width="415" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYLbg5dOxKqAQYG3TcnHlcTA_AxbI7fil2t5-Etb9F-v1GftVVmGSicfdO6LghqNLiNHloTQi25fIRgz2LHrf0xUeuKtA7Xht3jyMoqMbG7whyhaVYWP3hvVrMsXVHzvCQJcpIH63oQBHhMDg1GPDDPv1pouRmKQ9uPoCCf1zusySp3c0fRRjvKzkUGD4/s16000/Folk%20dancers%20hired%20by%20the%20City%20Tourism%20Department%20welcome%20the%20passengers%20and%20crew%20of%20the%20luxury%20cruise%20ship%20MS%20Silver%20Whisper%20as%20it%20arrives%20in%20Puerto%20Princesa..jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>
<p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, a luxury ocean liner called MS Silver Whisper dropped anchor in the <span style="color: red;">city</span> in early November, indicating greater opportunities for the local tourism industry to prosper. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Touted as a cruise ship for the rich and famous, the MS Silver Whisper brought 382 vacationers and a crew of around 300. Registered in Nassau, Bahamas, the 610-foot, 10-storey vessel is operated by Monaco-headquartered Silversea Cruises. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The MS Silver Whisper is the first of six cruise ships that will be visiting Puerto Princesa’s shores this November, the City Tourism Department excitedly announced. </p>
<p dir="ltr">CTD chief Demetrio Alvior, Jr. said that guests aboard the ship will tour several key attractions in Puerto Princesa, with the underground river in Barangay Cabayugan on top of the list. The ship will then sail off to their next port of call in Coron, also in Palawan. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The city anticipates heightened tourism and overall economic activity with upcoming cruise ship arrivals scheduled on November 4, 8, 16, 18 and 28, Alvior shared. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Five more massive vessels are scheduled to arrive in November and December will welcome the MV Norwegian Jewel and the MV Aida Bella. The MV Norwegian Jewel will bring in about 2,500 people; the MS Westerdam, 1,964 individuals; and the MS Star Breeze, around 327 passengers. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Alvior noted that unlike in the past when international tourists arrived mainly by airplane, the city’s expanded tourism program has paved the way for more visitors to arrive by sea. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The city official said that stakeholders in the tourism sector are being encouraged to provide exemplary service that will showcase the renowned Filipino hospitality to solidify Puerto Princesa’s place as a tourism center and give the local economy a much-needed boost. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Alvior also encouraged Puerto Princesa’s tourism frontliners to treat all visitors with the highest level of care and to exemplify the unique Filipino standard of service. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“The influx of tourists will keep us on our toes, but it's a bustling pace we look forward to," Alvior told <i>Palawan News</i>. </p>
