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.
