Goodyear Commences Search for 2010 Bayani ng Kalsada

Committed to promoting safety on the road, Goodyear Philippines once again launches its corporate social program, Bayani ng Kalsada, for the fifth consecutive year.  It is an annual nationwide search for Filipino drivers who demonstrate courage, sacrifice and concern for others through selfless heroic acts. Goodyear Philippines stresses their commitment in honoring the heroes of the road whose brave efforts have kept others safe from danger. They believe road safety is not just about driving practices, it also involves keeping a careful eye on the road and lending a helping hand in times of need.  By giving recognition to these heroes, they are promoting an awareness for road safety, which will eventually translate to a change in how we treat others on the road.

What it takes to be a hero

There is a huge responsibility placed on motorists whenever they are out on the road. Whether this responsibility is respected or taken for granted, motorists must keep in mind that there are lives at stake and therefore road safety must be top of mind.  This is what Bayani ng Kalsada is all about. More than a popularity contest, BNK is a celebration of ordinary deeds done by ordinary people who went beyond comfort and convenience to be ‘Good Samaritans’ when the situation called for it.

On its fifth year, BNK 2010 will once again honor five winners. One each from four regions—Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao and National Capital Region will receive P30000 while the overall champion will receive P50,000. Nomination is open to all professional drivers who have shown honesty, responsibility and genuine concern for public safety while on the road.  Nomination forms can be submitted through Goodyear Autocare, Goodyear Servitek or Goodyear Tyre Pro outlets nationwide or can be downloaded from the Bayani ng Kalsada page on Facebook.  

All submitted nominations will be carefully evaluated by select transportation officials, media and sponsor representatives, and Goodyear executives. This reputable panel of judges will come up with a list of finalists from which they will choose this year’s “unsung heroes of the road.”  

Bayani ng Kalsada is the Philippine version of a successful, long-running Goodyear program held annually in the U.S. and Canada (since 1983) that is now also held annually in Asia Pacific countries such as Australia, Vietnam and Indonesia. Dubbed Highway Heroes, the program has recognized truck drivers who have done heroic acts of courage, sacrifice and service on the road over the last 27 years. This year’s program is being done in cooperation with the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC), Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP), Manila Bulletin, Pilipino Star Ngayon, Abante, Centro Negosyo, Cebuana Lhuillier and Safety Organization of the Philippines, Inc.  (SOPI).

In fact, it has opened a whole new chapter in the tea beverage industry by letting us experience its deliciously reviving* fusion of real tea and real honey. Yes, the drink that always keeps things fresh and exciting, Real Leaf Green Tea!

And  who are its latest recruits?  Without question, they are Philippine entertainment’s cream of the crop, the most sought after and the most captivating charmers of today. Four individuals who are making the choice to be deliciously revived; four powerhouse names who are now proudly keeping it real with Real Leaf— Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes, KC Concepcion and Piolo Pascual.

We believe all four of them have uniquely real, vibrant and dynamic personalities. Plus, they all live uncompromising and healthy lifestyles. In today’s fast-paced, physically taxing and highly stressful world, just like the regular Filipino, they need to restore balance, recharge and refuel themselves to keep up and keep going. Real Leaf is all-natural, all real – it is not only made from natural green tea leaves but is also deliciously blended with the natural goodness of honey. It’s the one-of-a-kind combination that helps revive both mind and body, made even more luscious by infusing fruit flavors – perfect for people who would never settle for less than what they deserve.” she said.

UCC Launches Vision Logbook with Top Leadership Experts

It’s not only on New Year’s Day when we’re jotting down our resolutions that we need to think about change. Any time of year is, of course, a good time to start trying to bring about change.  “People can both desire and fear change,” says motivational speaker Francis Kong. “What we need to do is to learn how to let go of our fear of change.” Kong adds, “If we want to consciously bring about change for the good, then that change has to be envisioned and planned.”  “Change is not that hard to achieve,” says personal finance expert Randell Tiongson. “It’s really just a matter of adapting a system that works for you. We could be looking to accomplish personal, financial, professional, or social change. Keep in mind that change can be a positive force and that we need to actively take steps to make things happen.”

Entrepreneur and visionary Hubert Young thought it was the right time for a vision logbook that can help people bring about change. Young, owner of the UCC Coffee concept shops in the Philippines, decided to bring together the beacons of change to help him create that vision logbook. The beacons of change are some of the country’s top business coaches. These beacons are experts in their respective fields and are all well-versed when it comes to planning for change. The beacons of change who contributed to the vision logbook include Tiongson, Kong, and mind mapping expert Raju Mandhyan. Additionally, Let’s Go Foundation, a foundation aimed at poverty alleviation through entrepreneurship education, contributed the Entrepreneurship Workbook for Change module. 

Building on the theme “Positive Change and Planning for Change,” the UCC Vision Logbook aims to deliver to loyal UCC customers a blend of motivational and practical information to keep on top of people's minds ways to bring about positive change  throughout the year. “This vision isn't just a vision logbook,” says Young. “It is something useful for individuals who want to see change in themselves and in their social environment. It is innovative and relevant.”

UCC Coffee Concept Store recently launched the elegant UCC Vision Logbook at the UCC Cafe Terrace, 26th St. Forbestown Center, Taguig City. The beacons of change who put the vision logbook together--Young, Kong, Tiongson, Mandyhan, and Let's Go Foundation's Prof. Francisco “Jay” M. Bernardo, III--were all in attendance.

The basic vision logbook includes 2011 and 2012 calendars and contains various useful modules such as a travel vision logbook, conversion tables, notes, and Francis Kong stories, tips, and quotations. This can be claimed after a UCC customer accumulates P 5,000 in UCC Coffee Concept Store receipts. More promotional coupons for free dishes or drinks are inside the logbook.

Formed in November 2008, the program has been giving scholarship grants to deserving female college students enrolled in male-dominated courses such as Engineering and Architecture. 30 scholars from the University of the Philippines (UP) and 10 from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) are chosen each school year.

The importance of an anti-ageing skin regimen for the body

Olay Body had thousands of women making the switch to younger-looking body skin at its Grand Swap Event. The first in a series of Swap events that encourage women to start an anti-ageing regimen for their body skin, the activity had women lining up to exchange an empty carton of their current non-Olay beauty bar for a free Olay Age Defying Body Bar.  Skin actually starts to age at around 22 – 25 years old so to keep skin from looking old, women need a soap that does more than moisturize – they need one that helps defy skin ageing! 

The Grand Swap also launched Olay Body’s Never Too Late Campaign – with Olay Age Defying Body Bar giving women younger looking skin in just 7 showers, they don’t have to hold back from doing things they thought they were too old to do!

The campaign was something all three ambassadors embraced enthusiastically - as they themselves are great examples of older women who do not let age hold them back from pursuing their dreams.

“I noticed that my skin just looks a little duller and I have some sunspots because I used to love to bask under the sun,” observed Olay Body Ambassador Angel Aquino while fellow Ambassador Miriam Quiambao said that she also noticed signs of dryness on her shoulders, elbows and legs.  “So dry, that at times, I can write my name on my leg. It makes me feel conscious about wearing my favorite clothes and prefer to cover them up because I don't want to my dry skin to be seen,” she commented.

The Olay Age-Defying Body Bar is infused with Olay moisturizers that help fight skin ageing In just 7 showers, younger-looking skin is revealed – just ask Miriam, Angel and the third Olay Body Ambassador Daphne Oseña-Paez  “My skin feels moisturized after a bath, even if I don't use lotion,” Daphne added that her skin also “feels softer right away!”

The Olay Age-Defying Body Bar also helped Angel fight the signs of body skin ageing she noticed were appearing. “It made my skin look more taut and tight and it evened out my skin tone, nag-lessen din yung mga sunspots. I’m happier!” she said. 

More and more women are agreeing with the Olay Body Ambassadors. A recent survey revealed 9 out of 10 women say the Olay Age-Defying Bar is better than their current soap in making their skin look younger, making their skin achieve an even skin tone, and making skin feel softer and smoother.

And with younger-looking skin thanks to Olay Age Defying Body Bar, older women will discover that it’s Never Too Late to just go for it!

WHAT makes for a great-tasting cup of coffee? It's a combination of many things…  Freshly-roasted and finely-ground beans are always the most ideal to start with. Fresh and cold tap, mineral or spring but not distilled water is best. The right proportion of water to coffee grounds is likewise crucial.  And then, of course, if you are using a simple espresso machine for your home or something that's a little more state-of-the-art, any coffee afficionado worth his or her salt will tell you that only the branded ones made by European manufacturers like JURA Elektroapparate AG of Switzerland extracts the aroma better than their cheaper, commercial counterparts. This in turn, naturally translates to some of the best-tasting cups of coffee you'll ever get the pleasure of sipping.

JURA's three main criteria are outstanding design, simple operation and the best coffee result. By outstanding design, JURA means compact espresso machines for the home characterized by clean lines and beautifully finished surfaces that have consistently won international design prizes.

One look at JURA's IMPRESSA J7 and IMPRESSA J9 One Touch machines and they look like high-end audio appliances that would look great not just in the kitchen but in any other room in the house, for that matter. Ditto with the IMPRESSA C9, the Top of the Line IMPRESSA Z7 and the slim and sexy ENA7 and ENA9 machines that all embody elegance, sophistication and function in compact enclosures that are conversation pieces in themselves.

As simple operation goes, nothing can be more intuitive than JURA's interactive plain text dialog screen that makes it easy for anyone to serve a cappucino or latte machiato at the touch of a single button. Coffee strength, temperature, water and milk quantities are all adjustable not only in the IMPRESSA J9 One Touch but also in other equally state-of-the-art models like the IMPRESSA J7, the IMPRESSA C9, the IMPRESSA Z7, the ENA7 and the ENA9 models. There's nothing intimidating about the user-friendliness of these machines.

“Because of their versatility, JURA machines are designed to give coffee lovers complete freedom of choice, fresh from the bean down to your cup,” says Conlins Coffee World Vice President Lloyd Eric Conlin. “The open system for the fully automatic machines allows us to get the maximum taste from any coffee blend. Your own preferences decide.”

Shake up, wake up the happiness. It’s Christmas time!

Once again, the country’s one and only partner in opening up the true spirit of the holiday season, Coca-Cola, rolled down the most awaited Coca-Cola Christmas Caravan and the annual Araneta Center Giant Tree Lighting at the Coliseum parking lot. The well-loved beverage brand treated guests to an experience like no other when it painted the town red and led all the festivities, keeping true to fulfilling its tradition of bringing everybody together.

There was a grand parade led by a convoy of Coca-Cola Christmas trucks, the Philippine Navy Band which marched along and rocked out the Center with lively renditions of Christmas jingles, various games, and photo booths lined up by Coca-Cola just before the official tree lighting ceremony started. The renowned Love Radio tandem DJ’s, Nicole Hyala and Chris Tsuper bonded and shared an early Noche Buena feast with the celebrity guests, granted heartfelt wishes and gave away raffle prizes to lucky folks all through out the afternoon.

In no time, all the rush and thrill finally led to the much-awaited lighting of the Giant Christmas Tree situated at the heart of Araneta Center, a celebrated custom since 1981. The exciting countdown to the “it-moment” was joined in by officials from the local government, Araneta Center and The Coca-Cola Company along with Kim Chiu and Enchong Dee along with other personalities and celebrity guests. Standing at almost 100ft. this year’s tree is bedecked with more than 10, 000 lights and hundreds of stars and Coca-Cola Christmas balls, with huge ribbons and colorful gift boxes as accents. Through the years, it has been a beacon of hope among the Filipinos; a most cherished icon that signals the beginning of the holiday season and reminds us to always believe in the magic and happiness it brings, the same way Coca-Cola inspires.

Indeed it was a day of wonderful surprises, moreover with the launching of the Coca-Cola Contour Glass promo. “The Coca-Cola contour glass is one of this season’s fun, ultimate merry must-haves that will surely complete our Noche Buena bonding and allow us to keep refreshing ourselves with the deliciously fizzy cola drink we all love. It’s available in five perky colors such as red, yellow, violet and green and the latest addition to the bunch, the aquamarine contour glass. It’s so easy to take home all five Coca-Cola Christmas Contour Glasses: Buy Coca-Cola, Coke Light, Coke Zero, Sprite or Royal Tru Orange in any of the 500ml, 750ml, 1L, 1.5L and 2L packs. Look under the Santa cap for the “Coke Glass” text and collect 2 more regular Coca-Cola Santa caps and exchange these caps for one Coca-Cola Christmas Contour Glass from any 7 Eleven store, selected sari-sari stores or public markets and Coca-Cola Sales offices nationwide. You may redeem from November 15 to December 31, 2010 only.

This Christmas, let us all open and celebrate magical moments together shared with nothing less than the irreplaceable sparkle that uniquely refreshes and makes us happy- Coca-Cola. Energizing Christmas Spirit. Open Coca-Cola, Open Happiness.

Move as millions..... survive as one!

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.

Keep your clothes looking like new

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.

keeping relationships alive....

Not all roses are created equal.

The Osiana rose, on the other hand, features peach-colored buds while the Noseblesse rose has salmon pink petals, and the Vivaldi rose grows with very light pink buds. Roses have all the beauty and meaning to express a range of human emotion, idea or thought of.  we know that red roses signify love and passion; but there are also yellow roses which celebrate friendship and joy.

 Island Rose features lively, vibrant hues with the golden yellow-colored buds of the Texas rose, light yellow petals of the Christine rose, deep orange roses of Salsa, and the Lambada rose whose buds come in a unique, bright orange tone. Finally, their white roses that include the thick-stemmed Tineke rose and the Gloria rose, whose buds have the purest white color, are both perfect for weddings and arrangements.

 Additionally, Island Rose gives everyone an opportunity to become more creative with their sentiments by amplifying the appeal of their presents by pairing the roses with gifts that include stuffed toys, chocolates, and trinkets.
