Move as millions. Survive as one. National Geographic Channel’s Great Migrations gives the word “move” a whole new meaning. This seven-part global programming event takes viewers around the world on the arduous journeys millions of animals undertake to ensure the survival of their species. Shot from land and air, in trees and cliff-blinds, on ice floes and underwater, Great Migrations tells the formidable, powerful stories of many of the planet’s species and their movements, while revealing new scientific discoveries with breathtaking high-definition clarity. The miraculous red crab migration on Christmas Island. Flying foxes in Australia and army ants in Costa Rica. Wildebeest, great white sharks, zebra and Mali elephants. Microscopic plankton and jellyfish in Indonesia. The first radio transmitter attached to a monarch butterfly. The first film crew on the ground in Sudan in 25 years, there to capture the migration of the white-eared kob. The beauty of these stories is underscored by new knowledge of these species’ fragile existence and their life-and-death quest for survival in an ever-changing world. The all-National Geographic Great Migrations team spent two and a half years in the field, travelling 670,000 kilometres in 120 countries and all seven continents to bring this spectacular first-of-its-kind production to television in fall 2010.
Want to keep your clothes looking like new? Unfortunately, wear and tear that happens by scrubbing with bar and brush in the wash can make your clothes look older quickly. To keep your clothes looking new, wash it with Ariel Oxybleach Anti Stain with Rings. It has a unique oxybleach system that removes tough stains so well - even without scrubbing with a bar and brush – to give your clothes the care it needs to look like new.
Leaving clothes unattended after they have been worn, allows for stains to set and the fabric to weaken resulting to color fading. Perspiration is acidic in nature and exposure to acidic elements is the major cause of fabric degradation.
Ariel’s oxybleach system contains bleach and a bleach activator which decolorizes and removes the stain in the wash, plus photo-bleach, which is activated by sunlight during drying to provide additional bleaching effects. Ariel Oxybleach also has enzymes that reduce “himulmol”, preventing future stains from sticking to your clothes.
So if you want to keep your clothes looking like new, wash them with Ariel Oxybleach Anti-Stain with Rings.

When it comes to diapers, dryness and preventing rashes is one of the top priorities for moms.
That is why Pampers, the diaper brand committed to baby development, and their partner, the Mother and Child Nurses Association of the Philippines (MCNAP), has teamed up to give a talk to parents on how they can keep their baby’s skin healthy and prevent diaper rash.
Keeping baby’s bottom dry and clean, they advised, are the best ways to prevent diaper rash. Make sure to change your baby’s diaper after they become wet or soiled or look for an extra-absorbent diaper that helps pull urine away from your baby’s skin and stool.
Throughout the many demonstrations carried out, Pampers Active Baby was the only diaper who not only absorbed the water poured on it faster, it was also the only diaper whose piece of tissue stayed completely dry – just like your baby’s bottom.
This is because Pampers Active Baby has an extra locking layer that seals away wetness, so that it stays dry even under pressure. And it even has a soft, cotton-like outer cover with great breathability and a hypoallergenic lotion with Aloe Vera extract to help protect your baby’s skin and further reduce the risk of diaper rash.
It has a soft, breathable cotton cover, a special lock-away core to absorb wetness, and a hypoallergenic lotion, which all works together to keep baby’s bottom healthy and help reduce skin rashes. And when baby is comfortable, learning and play can continue all day.
Pampers Active Baby is available in major supermarkets nationwide.
