Santé Barley Max gives Dimples Romana the power of nature

Dimples Romana

As it enters the first quarter of 2022, SANTé International continues to promote the transforming power of all things natural in enhancing the lives of countless people, presenting Dimples Romana as the newest endorser of its flagship brand, Santé BarleyMax, in its Retail and Wholesale business. Everything around us is becoming more and more artificial as the world around us becomes more and more industrialized, especially in the food and beverage business. Fast food, instant coffee, instant noodles, and junk food brands are now sprouting one after the other. These goods will eventually harm our health and shorten our lives if we consume them on a regular basis. So now is the moment to harness the force of nature — to counteract the impacts of artificiality with the all-natural Santé Barley Max to safeguard our health and improve the quality of life for ourselves and our families. As Sante Barley gives us more insight in our zoom conference with Ms. Dimples Romana, I acquired more knowledge about the product and its good benefit to our body. It teaches us more about the goodness of organic and natural ingredients and more about how we can use it in our daily lives.

         *Taken during the zoom meeting*

Santé Barley Max is a worry-free, all-natural, nutritional powerhouse superfood supplement trusted by millions of families and individuals. It is barley grass harvested at a young age and produced in powder and capsule forms. BioGro, New Zealand’s largest and best-known certifier for organic produce and goods that promote the highest levels of organic quality, uses barley grass powder that is certified organic. Santé Barley Max helps middle-aged, health-conscious persons have a decent quality of life by being rich in vitamins and minerals for the daily diet required by the human body. It helps to strengthen the immune system and protects against infections and diseases. Santé Barley Max also contains stevia, a natural plant-based sweetener that is low in calories and does not contain any artificial ingredients.

Like all Pinoy moms, Dimples Romana juggles her time as an actress and as a mother while ensuring the safety of her family in these trying times due to the pandemic.

An awarding-winning and internationally acclaimed dramatic actress who has starred in a steady string of blockbuster films and top-rating TV series such as One More Chance, The Mall, The Merrier, Block Z, Bagani, and Kadenang Ginto as well as her current primetime hit Viral Scandal, Dimples is also a mother of two kids whom she considers as her top priorities despite her hectic schedule as one of today’s most in-demand and bankable dramatic actresses in the industry.

“I am so grateful for being able to work and have endorsement deals because these are really very uncertain times,” says Dimples. “I believe that everything could be balanced with the right blend of time management. Work is essential but my family is the most important in my life. We need to stay healthy and active not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well. This is the reason why I am so ecstatic now that I am officially a part of the Santé Barley Max family because the brand is really effective in strengthening the immune system and providing the vitamins and nutrients that our bodies need every day. One sachet per day or a single capsule before a meal of Santé Barley Max really makes a world of difference.”

Santé International, on the other hand, is equally thrilled to have Dimples on board as the brand promotes the healing power of nature this 2022. “We know that Dimples Romana is the perfect artist to represent Santé Barley Max because her values and personality align well with the brand,” says Santé International CEO Joey Marcelo. “Looking at her, you know that she is someone who lives to serve. She’s also very nurturing not only to her family but also to her colleagues, friends, and followers. We also see her as a catalyst who could influence people to change for the better; and people admire her because of her genuine love, care, and sincerity. And that, exactly, is what Santé Barley Max is all about.”

Dimples reveals that through Santé Barley Max, she has discovered the amazing health benefits that nature could do for a person’s body, soul, and mind. “Nature has the ability to do wonders for one’s health and overall wellbeing. So, bring more nature into your home,” says Dimples. “We can now connect to the power of nature with Santé Barley Max which we should take every day for that added protection and vitality that we need.”

Santé Barley Max is available in all major drugstores, supermarkets, and convenience stores across the country, as well as on Shopee and Lazada under the @SanteOfficial brand.

UNIQLO Debuts Its Spring/Summer LifeWear Collection for 2022

UNIQLO, a Japanese worldwide clothing company, brings us the delights of clothes with its Spring/Summer 2022 collection. Whether in the city, nature, at home, or at the beach, the collection offers fresh, comfortable, functional, and attractive pieces that are ideal for the season. During the virtual conference Ms. Jami Barra & Ms. Bea Constantino introduced to us the new offering of UNIQLO, as they launched their 2022 Spring/Summer collection. I was thrilled since I’m a huge fan of this brand, the quality and designs suit my taste well. It’s so comfy to wear and so stylish. This brand is really for all ages. I’m so excited for their new collection since everything is so fascinating and will surely be loved by everyone, as they choose the perfect palette to cater everyone’s taste and styles.

THE PLEASURES OF CLOTHING

This season, UNIQLO is focusing on the simple pleasures that arise when people and clothes meet. There’s a blazer or dress that portrays modern city life, a comfy pair of shorts for a journey to the great outdoors, and breezy linens and madras shirts in vibrant hues that can be worn at the beach in the latest collection. This season, UNIQLO introduces four sub-themes, all of which are designed to convey happiness and comfort to the wearer during these bright days.

The Pleasures of Skyline

City inhabitants appreciate the conveniences of a cosmopolitan lifestyle: a friendly neighborhood cafe, a shop selling artisanal cheeses, and restaurants serving farm-to-table cuisine. This metropolitan lifestyle necessitates current and modern clothing that may be worn both on and off the job.

The Joys of Landscape

Relish life off the grid, the rustling of the wind in the trees and the crunching of leaves under the shoes, with colors and textures that blend in with the scenery of nature.

The Joys of Imagination

Art and sophisticated designs stir the senses. Imaginations are supposed to wander and enter brilliant new worlds so UNIQLO found inspiration in vibrant and uplifting colors.

The Joys of Sun and Seaside

An afternoon by the beach while soaking in the sun and feeling the breeze calls for natural textures, linen fabric, and clothes that drape effortlessly over the body. These are comfortable to wear and more importantly, easy to shed off when it’s time for a dip.

UNIQLO U

The UNIQLO U line for this season is designed to support the everyday rhythms of a variety of lifestyles. For the utmost in comfort, artistic director Christophe Lemaire and the design team in Paris created relaxed, loose-fitting, and clean designs. The palette, which includes earth tones like brown, khaki, and olive, reflects this. Warm, neutral colors like faded tones of orange and green, as well as military blue, show. This season, a children’s collection will be available once more.

UT

 

UT promises a varied variety of hobbies, including film, art, and photography, for this season’s UNIQLO fascinating collection of t-shirts inspired by art, music, movies, manga, and other forms of culture.

Joshua Vides’ monochromatic Mickey Mouse work is a highlight this season. The artist is known for his immersive installations and objects that encapsulate pop art’s essence. Following that is a collection created in partnership with Magnum Photos, a cooperative that has photographed most of the world’s important events and figures since the 1930s. Alec Soth, Eli Reed, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Gueorgui Pinkhassov, Elliott Erwitt, and Martin Parr shot memorable pictures for the collection.

A collection featuring Keith Haring’s inaugural exhibition at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in New York City in 1982 is also included. Collections of Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat’s work will join Haring’s.

COLLABORATIONS

Apart from the sub-themes, UNIQLO is offering collaborations that reflect different aesthetics, but are all grounded by joy:

Hana Tajima

Hana Tajima returns to create UNIQLO’s first collection dedicated to dresses. This season, the New York-based fashion designer created garments that are made to be lived in, with understated yet iconic styles.

The collection features deep greens and blues inspired by nature and flower patterns found in Tajima’s garden. These patterns can also be found on hand-drawn scarves.

Inès de la Fressange

Inès De la Fressange turns to the colorful Moroccan city of Marrakesh in creating this season’s collection. The designer crafted high-quality and elegant yet casual items that liberally use cotton, linen, and silk.

The womenswear lineup is infused with menswear elements in natural colors and warm accents in reds, oranges, and pinks. The collection stays true to de la Fressange’s DNA of effortless chic that is truly French, truly Inès.

JW Anderson

Jonathan Anderson, who is never far from the sea, was inspired by sailing and the culture of seaside towns and ports when developing this collection. The sapphire blues of the sea, the soft browns of seashores, and the calming beiges of chalk cliffs are combined with red, green, and blue elements, reminiscent of maritime signal flags.

The nautical narrative is expressed through rope details, performance fabrics, patchwork, and asymmetrical elements.

UNIQLO’s 2022 Spring/Summer collection will be available starting February in all stores nationwide.

LifeWear Magazine

At the event, UNIQLO announces the launch of the 2022 Spring/Summer issue of LifeWear magazine this month of February 2022. LifeWear magazine is a free publication that conveys the UNIQLO LifeWear philosophy of making the everyday lives of people richer and more comfortable. The theme of issue 06 for Spring/Summer is “The Joys of Clothing,” presenting reflections on the simple pleasures found in wearing clothes. Through such features as an interview with filmmaker Sofia Coppola, and the fashion story of UNIQLO and JW ANDERSON as photographed by the Australian periodical frankie magazine, this issue focuses on our positive relationship with clothing.

The opening pages are adorned with fashion designs showcasing the featured themes. New UNIQLO collections for the season are presented through 18 pop topics. This feature presents colorful and inspiring items perfect for spring and summer – including madras check patterns, chambray shirts and sheer cardigans.

In Downtown Manila, Panda Express® has opened a new branch

To respond to the growing demand for delicious American Chinese food in the country, Jollibee Group’s Panda Express® opens its sixth PH store in Metro Manila.

A Panda sighting to ring in the Tiger Year! Panda Express®, the world’s largest American Chinese dining concept, will celebrate the Lunar New Year with the opening of a new store on Level 1, Pedro Gil Wing, Robinsons Place in Ermita, Manila, on February 19.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the Lunar New Year with another milestone. Opening a new store in the country’s capital city Manila means giving us the opportunity for us to serve the local community with Panda’s freshly made and wok-tossed American Chinese dishes with our guests,” said Ned Bandojo, Business Development Head, Foreign Franchises Brands of the Jollibee Group.

Since opening its first site at SM Megamall in Ortigas, Pasig City in late 2019, the new restaurant will be the sixth Panda Express in the Metro Manila area. Panda Express’ continued growth is a response to Filipinos’ desire for delectable American Chinese cuisine, notably Panda’s world-famous entrée, The Original Orange Chicken®, a crispy chicken dish wok-tossed in a sweet and tangy sauce; or Panda’s award-winning Honey Walnut Shrimp, a mouth-watering entrée made with premium crispy shrimp wok-tossed in a honey sauce and topped with glazed walnuts.

Delightful Offerings

As part of celebrating Lunar New Year, Panda Express is offering its Family Feast in special carriers. Families can customize their entrees and sides with all their Panda favorites in a Family Feast.

For health-conscious foodies, Panda’s Wok Smart® entrees offer dishes with at least eight grams of protein and 300 or less calories, such as Panda’s Black Pepper Chicken, a flavorful stir-fry with marinated chicken, celery and onion, coated in a bold black pepper sauce; or Kung Pao Chicken, a Sichuan-inspired dish made with chicken, fresh vegetables, crunchy peanuts and dried chilis for a slight kick; and the classic Broccoli Beef, a tender beef entrée with fresh broccoli wok-tossed in a savory ginger soy sauce.

Panda Express also offers plant-based options on its menu. A fan-favorite entrée, Eggplant Tofu, is the ultimate comfort food made with lightly browned tender tofu that is crispy on the outside, simmered in a sweet and spicy sauce with eggplant and red bell peppers and pairs well with White Steamed Rice, Mixed Vegetables and some Veggie Spring Rolls.

“Panda Express invites Filipinos to enjoy authentic American Chinese cuisine, prepared fresh and made in small batches. We’re thrilled to bring our world-famous entrees made with quality ingredients to the community through our sustained expansion plans and store openings throughout the country,” said Bandojo.

Safety is always a priority. Panda Express® requires its customers to wear face masks and observe social distancing. All store team members are vaccinated.

Iba’t ibang sakit kayang lagpasan, Dahil babangon ka sa Flu

 

While the flu season has passed in the Country normally occurs during the coldest months of the year—it is never too safe to be content. With summer nearing, we must remain vigilant for flu-like symptoms such as sniffles, sneezes, headaches, and fevers, as well as a few body pains here and there. Because the flu shares many symptoms with COVID-19, catching the former also entails a little less peace of mind for the Pinoy.

In short, flu symptoms aren’t just more common these days—they’re also a lot heavier to deal with.

That’s why it’s generally a good idea to get tested for COVID-19 in case one experiences flu symptoms. In the event that it’s confirmed to be COVID-19, one can start practicing the necessary isolation and treatment protocols.

On the other hand, if that cough turns out to be a symptom of the flu, it isn’t enough to stop at the negative COVID-19 results. Flu symptoms still need to be treated ASAP, as they may lead to more serious health complications.

When a cold or flu creates a blockage in the sinuses, for example, this can trap bacteria and viruses inside through the mucus. A bad enough infection can lead to sinusitis, which in turn causes severe headaches, fever, facial pain.

The fluid build up from the flu can also cause bacteria or viruses to infect the space behind the eardrums, leading to a painful ear infection. In people with asthma, flu symptoms can trigger asthmatic attacks, or cause difficulty breathing among people without asthma.

Flu symptoms could also make it more difficult to sleep. Studies have found that a lack of sleep can have a negative effect on the immune system, making someone more vulnerable to different illnesses.

Given how important it is to immediately treat flu symptoms, medication for these symptoms is a must- have during the country’s flu season. For many Filipinos, the ideal fix is to have a multi-benefit solution like Phenylephrine HCl Chlorphenamine Maleate Paracetamol (BIOFLU) at home.

Unlike other medications that address only one or two flu symptoms, Phenylephrine HCl Chlorphenamine Maleate Paracetamol (BIOFLU) is specially formulated to provide relief for all common flu symptoms. It helps relieve fever, colds, clogged noses, sneezing, headaches, body aches, joint pain, chills, sore throat, and cough due to post-nasal drip. It can also help reduce itching in the eyes and treat a runny nose.

Its formula was also created to treat the symptoms of other ailments like allergic rhinitis and sinusitis, making it a valuable multi-purpose medication for every household. At just PHP7.50 SRP per tablet, it’s also one of the most sulit solutions available to Pinoys. The medication provides relief for multiple illnesses and prevents complications from their symptoms at a cost cheaper than a cup of coffee.

Because many of the symptoms it addresses are also common adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, it’s also proved to be useful for people who need to return to work quickly after getting their doses. With flu season in full gear and a pandemic still wreaking havoc on Pinoys, it’s always a good idea to have medication on hand to assist people recover more quickly from the symptoms. It’s more than useful when a multi-benefit solution is available—It’s sulit.

A ‘Sting’ that gives you extra energy to reach your goals

Young Filipinos, without a question, are dreamers. Despite repeated setbacks, they remain committed to their objectives and life goals, remembering the word “hataw” (doing your best). Consider the instance of Raphael Santiago, a 19-year-old multimedia arts student. Together with his friends, they just created a clothing brand, ROLEMODEL.

It is the time of a pandemic; a phase in their lives when the world is almost discouraging for the younger generation. Yet, this “boredom” is what drove Santiago to persevere. “I think my boredom is slowly transforming into a career,” he said.

“I realized that life is short. I wanted to start living my life to the fullest by achieving my goals and making my dreams come true. Luckily, my friends also had the idea of starting a clothing brand,” he added.

They pursued their love for style and life through an online business. It does not only serve as a source of income but also a source of inspiration for young Filipinos. ROLEMODEL conveys messages of inspiration, motivation, and encouragement.

Energy for life

As they continue to face the challenges of the new normal and prepare for the future, young Filipinos are determined to be more energetic than ever. To keep them active and focused all throughout the day, they need a drink that is hataw sa energy and hataw sa sarap.

“We recognize the role of the youth in our society and we hope to help them succeed through the energy and delicious taste of Sting. Their determination is truly admirable. It inspires us to continue producing beverages that help Filipinos to be stronger and more energized,” said Frederick D. Ong, president and Chief Executive Officer of Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines Inc. (PCPPI).

Sting, a product of PCPPI, the country’s exclusive PepsiCo beverage maker, is the ideal partner for any young Filipino’s mind and body. B vitamins, taurine, and ginseng extract are all included. Sting is available in PET bottles with a strawberry flavor in both 300ml and 330ml capacity.

Sting can be found in supermarkets, grocery stores, convenience stores, and sari-sari stores all around the country. Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, 7-Up, Mirinda, Gatorade, Tropicana, Lipton, Mug, Premier, Milkis, and Aquafina are just a few of the well-known beverage brands that PCPPI manufactures exclusively in the Philippines.

PCPPI is committed to create a positive impact on society with programs focused on environmental sustainability, nutrition, education, and livelihood. For more information, visit www.pepsiphilippines.com.

In other words, this product was made in accordance with HACCP guidelines.

Always make yourself safe, healthy and C-gurado

Filipinos have observed a sudden and massive increase in COVID-19 cases when the highly contagious Omicron form was discovered in the Philippines. While cases in Metro Manila and adjacent provinces are starting to decline, the Department of Health (DOH) still considers the country, particularly the National Capital Region, to be at high risk for the virus.

Always make yourself safe, healthy and C-gurado As a result, in these uncertain times, people must be C-gurado. Even if we’re wearing masks outside and fully vaccinated, along with a booster shot, it’s critical to maintain our health in check with enough vitamins and nutrients for doubled-up defense against the invisible enemy.

Hygiene and health must start at home. And while no supplements can directly cure COVID-19 and its variants, taking vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C and Zinc can help provide adequate nutrition to double up one’s immunity, lessening severe symptoms.

Benefits of Vitamin C and Zinc to help boost one’s immune system

  • Vitamin C is a well-known vitamin to take in the new normal. Since it provides added protection, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), this vitamin is vital to maintaining your health.
  • Vitamin C also assists a person’s immune system combat sicknesses, making it significant to include in your diet. In addition, a foreign study indicated that regular Vitamin C intake helps reduce the severity of colds.
  • Other than that, as an essential medicine, it can assist in faster wound healing and minimize the risks of having long-term illnesses like cancer.
  • Another winning supplement to increase our immune functions is Zinc, a mineral that may have antiviral activity. According to a study, this mineral improves immune cell function that counters viral infections or may reduce the ability of viruses to multiply.
  • Another study found out that Zinc may not prevent colds, but evidence proves that it plays an essential function in shortening cold symptoms.
  • No wonder why Vitamin C and Zinc are necessary to be taken this new normal. It’s because of the powerful benefits of these supplements to people’s immune systems.

Doubled-up protection with Santé’s Daily-C Plus

While certain foods can be good sources of these vitamins and minerals, some people have difficulties including them in their daily diet.

That is why Santé, a premier natural and organic health and wellness product and services provider, brings you the new and improved Daily-C Plus, helping you get an extra dose of vitamins for doubled-up protection so you can live beyond the limits and confidently care for your family.
