Alden Richards New Handwashing Music Video

“Pambansang Bae” Alden Richards, the music video stresses the importance of having clean hands this Yuletide season through a colorful and energetic finger-tutting choreography set to a classic Christmas melody. This is Safeguard’s creative response to an alarming discovery from the first Philippine Handwashing Index (PHI), with results showing that most Filipinos do not wash their hands regularly and diligently. PHI is a breakthrough study commissioned by Safeguard to have a closer look at the hand-washing habits of Filipinos.

‘Tis the season to be jolly and worry-free; as Safeguard, the nation’s leading soap that stands for germ-protection; sets the tune for a healthy Christmas celebration with the newest hand-washing music video, “Five Hugas ng Krismas.”

The message of the music video is simple yet impactful: “Ang bawat hugas, dapat Safeguard hugas”. This means only trusting the best when it comes to germ-protection, by simply following these five non-negotiables on when to wash your hands: before mag-mano, after banyo, before kumain, after playing, and before mag-bonding.

“A joyful Christmas is a Christmas that is spent with family and friends – happy and worry-free. A lot of us take hand-washing for granted, and since is it a good way to prevent illnesses, it’s important to remind the people to continuously wash their hands the Safeguard way,” says Alden Richards.

Director Sid Maderazo and Assistant Director Manman Angsico, a veteran theater actor and vocal coach, are the masterminds behind the creative execution of the “Five Hugas ng Krismas” music video. In it, the finger-tutting choreography features five hands that represent the five points of the star – reminiscent of the Filipino Christmas parol. For the background, sliding panels and creative props help depict the different times one should remember to wash their hands, specifically during those festive moments that define a Filipino Christmas. From bonding with the family over karaoke, to digging in on the delicious spread of local rice cakes, the music video is a fun and creative way to create awareness about the value of hand-washing.

“Sometimes the simplest of ideas can be the most challenging. The intention was to shoot the scenes seamlessly with live moving backgrounds. The easy route was to use green screen, but where’s the fun in that? It was all about great team work from everyone involved, and in the goal of sharing about an advocacy worth sharing to kids and the young-at-heart alike,” shares Director Sid Maderazo.

Clean hands for every Filipino

Through the Five Hugas ng Krismas music video, Safeguard aims to address the serious problem with the poor hand-washing habits of Filipinos, which was uncovered by the first Philippine Handwashing Index. The study found that seven out of ten Filipinos claim to wash their hands with soap after using a public toilet, but only two really do. To add, only water is being used when hand-washing by 60% of women before cooking, and 40% of women before feeding their kids .

Children are the most prone to sickness, yet 66% of Filipinos have noticed or witnessed children not washing hands after using the toilet; and 40% of Filipinos do not wash their hands before touching young children.

“The results of the Philippine Handwashing Index prompted Safeguard to come up with a creative solution to keep hand-washing a top-of-mind habit in every home. Through “Five Hugas ng Krismas”, we want to work together to instill proper hand-washing habits in time of the holiday season, where Filipinos touch and and are in frequent contact with relatives and friends,” explains Jia Salindong-Du, Safeguard Philippines Brand Manager.

For over five decades, Safeguard has been a dedicated hand-washing advocate, promoting proper hand-washing habits with a wide range of antibacterial soaps that provide family protection against germs for up to 24 hours.

Co Ban Kiat Hardware Incorporated

CBK Hardware is one of the few pioneering hardware businesses in the Philippines which has withstood the test of time. It all started in the 1920 when the family patriarch Mr. Cobankiat opened a store in the heart of the Manila Chinatown under the name of Co Ban Kiat Hardware. Business resumed after World War II but it was not until after three years later, in 1948, that the company recovered. The new CBK building was constructed on the very same spot where it stood before the war.

Co Ban Kiat Hradware Inc. (CBKHI), also known as the “House of Improvements”, has been the forefront of homebuilding supplies. From selling nails and iron wires as their main products, CBKHI has evolved and is now considered as one of the country’s leading suppliers of the top-of-the-line hardware materials.

Driven by excellence, CBKHI initiated the retail concept for hardware stores in the country by putting up the Hardware Workshop Store.

To cater to the growing demand of industrial and onstruction industries, CBKHI transformed itself by providing corporations with tangible solutions to address their primary concerns on safety and quality.

This also paved way to the birth of Coby’s Design Center in Edsa Shangri La in 1996. This specialty store offers a wide array of products that showcase versatility and Innovativeness to suit the discriminating tastes of the modern Filipino.

In 1997, Mr. Johnny Cobankiat took the advantage in bringing a franchise of Ace Hardware USA in the country with Cobankiat Hardware as one of its suppliers. In time, CBKHI expanded its distribution channel and is now considered as one of the leading suppliers in all major retail or home improvement stores in the country.

With its nearly a century’s excellence and guided by its vision to be the largest network supplier of the biggest brands in the world in the hardware industry, CBKHI resolve to work at sourcing the best products to supply its customers anytime and every time. Brands We Carry

NOVUHAIR turns favor with Christmas promo

Christmas Gifts are already wrapt and my colorful outfit is all prepared except all that’s left undone is a party season-perfect hairstyle.

The fresh out of the shower look can be seductive yet temporary. Blame it to tropical climate, it can spoil your appearance, besides making you feel sweaty and stale. The heat and humidity brought about by extreme weather condition, likewise, dries out the locks easily and make it more fragile.

Adding damage to your delicate strands are the chemical contents of various products on hand. From shampoo to conditioner and hair treatment, down to styling goods to groom it to your liking, their harsh synthetic materials jeopardize the natural oil and luster of your mane.

Because you are what you eat, the fate of your crowning glory is in the plate. Your diet must have the correct balance of vitamins and minerals to supply hair with all that it needs to become shiny and strong. So don’t overindulge, especially this time of the year when gastronomic feasts are spread almost everywhere you go. Be careful on what you take in, thinking that it’s also what you feed your ‘do.

Even stress can wear off the beauty and health of the tress. And that’s exactly what you should avoid this Yuletide season. Never put pressure on yourself just to please everyone. Just take it easy, let your hair down and party all night long.

Waze your way out of Holiday traffic

Christmas is time spent with family and friends. Who can resist the laughter, the stories, the food, and above all, the company? It motivates people to endure tedious traffic to go and be with their loved ones. Nobody loves traffic jams, especially during the Christmas season. Knowing what roads to take or avoid, planning ahead for the best time to leave and the shortest travel time to arrive at a destination is one Christmas treat we all want.

Waze, the world’s largest community-based traffic and navigation app, collected data over the past year and has come up with the date and the hours of the day when traffic is at its worst. The data includes places that increased in traffic during the holiday. In the hands of a seasoned driver, this information will shorten travel time so families can spend more time together.

Worst time and date for driving

Waze has also come up with a report on Philippine cities that had increased traffic over the holidays.

Key metros with heavy traffic

With the exception of Angeles City in Pampanga and Naga City in Bicol, most cities with increased traffic volume are found in the southern part of the country. If you have plans to go through these areas, best schedule hitting the road earlier than usual or just go somewhere else to celebrate.

But if staying away from these places is not an option, Waze has a solution - Planned Drive. The function gives drivers the estimated time of departure and arrival.

Christmas tunes for Wazers on Spotify

Earlier this year, Waze and Spotify announced a partnership to bring your favourite Spotify playlists into the Waze app. With the integration in full swing, your commute, road trip or holiday-related traffic jam becomes much more enjoyable, especially as Wazers get into the holiday groove with Spotify!

It’s no surprise that our favorite diva Mariah Carey has topped the list with “All I Want for Christmas Is You”.

Top 5 Most Popular Christmas Songs for Wazers on Spotify:

1. “All I Want For Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey
2. “It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas” by Michael Bublé
3. “Santa Tell Me” by Ariana Grande
4. “Happy Xmas (War Is Over) – 2010 Digital Remaster”by John Lennon
5. “Last Christmas – Remastered” by Wham!

Trip to the North Pole: PH Ranks Slowest
In the unfortunate event that Santa’s sleigh breaks down, Waze can help plan your trip from Philippines to the North Pole to get your gifts. Based on Filipinos’ average driving speed, it will take about 22 days to reach Santa’s house. In APAC, Philippines is ~1,400KM closer to the North Pole than Singapore, yet Filipino drivers take 8 more days to get there. Globally, Italian drivers are among the fastest in the race to the North Pole.

As for your return trip to ring in 2018, Waze recommends avoiding the roads between 3pm – 5pm on Sunday, Dec 31, especially if you’re hoping to make it back home in time for your New Year’s Eve party.

In a race based on Days to NP at 100 KPH and Days Added Due to Region Speed, Waze ranked the Philippines, followed by Australia and Brazil as the 3 Slowest Countries, while USA, Italy and France, no surprise there, as the 3 Fastest Countries to reach the North Pole.

Enjoy this holiday season and let Waze and Spotify be your best road companion wherever you may go to celebrate. Download the Waze and Spotify from the Play Store or the App Store. For more information, please visit the Waze at www.waze.com.

Batanguenyos Food Paradise - Ciudad Food Avenue

CIUDAD FOOD AVENUE

Diversion Road, Balagtas Batangas December 16, 2017 - I can't remember when is the last time I have been in Batangas since we don't have relatives there and didn't have much time to travel, so when this invitation came to us we are so excited and finally we got a chance to visit the well-known city for its ''Kapeng Barako, Balisong Knife Making, Molo Soup and the Industrial Port of CALABARZON".

Come and Join us, Let's tour the talk of the Batanguenyos latest Food Park in town.

Ciudad Food Avenue (CFA) started as a dream of two Batanguenyo business partners who hoped of establishing a legacy in Batangas. The original drawn plan was simply placed at the back of a used calendar while conceptualizing the place. Months after, the said dream came into reality.

The team broke ground in October 2016 and roughly 11 months after, Ciudad Food Avenue was officially launched during its grand opening on September 23, 2017. The name was taken from the Spanish word for a city - a place which provides all types of needs and services for its inhabitants. Ciudad Food Avenue in much the same way tries to provide Batanguenyo food fanatics all types of food that they could possibly want in one Food Avenue. It presents a vibe and ambiance which could be at par with highly organized food hubs in the Philippines.

At present, CFA is home to 11 large restaurants serving a wide variety of dishes. Each establishment has a unique theme, concept, and specialty which only they could offer. CFA also houses 17 food carts which serve refreshments, pika pika and light to heavy snacks.

12x8 PIPE Bar and Restaurant

The name of the establishment is taken literally from the foundation of its structure, 12 pieces of 12 inches in diameter and 8 feet in length steel pipe. It wants to be known as a module-type industrial food plant wherein its layout is a food court rolled into one restaurant.

The first floor offers a wide variety of food choices. Since it follows an industrial food plant concept, the name of each section/stall is also industry-related.

The first stall is known as "INASAL COMBUSTION" wherein the dish is seasoned with special spices and cooked through combustion by coal. It is served with sidings and soup.

The next stall is "RICE BOWL REACTION" where the flavored sauce is reacted with fried rice while their choice rice topping is added to it. The dish is very affordable for students and those who have a tight budget.

"RAMEN DILUTION" meanwhile uses authentic Japanese spices added to meat stock to cook the ramen noodles.

Next is "KAMBINGAN EXPRESS" which uses goat meat fresh from the farm and cooked in such as a way that you wouldn't recognize or notice the typical "goat" taste. The restaurant also features

This is the best Kalderatang Kambing I ever taste so don't miss out this on your bucket list. The meat is so tasty, juicy and tender. I'm sure you will love it too!

"BOODLE BONDING" a collection of native dishes in one group meal; a great bonding experience for small groups, friends and most especially for families.

"CHICKEN-PORK PYROLYSIS" uses the traditional firebrick oven in cooking to bring out the distinctive roasted taste of the product which one couldn't find in any restaurant in Batangas.

One of the newest addition to the stalls at 12x8 Pipe Bar and Restaurant is "BURGER COMPRESSION" which uses pure beef patty topped with fresh green ice lettuce, tomato, pickled cucumber and special milky cheese sauce. It boasts of its very own "Papa's Special Big Burger/' a 6-inch in diameter, 4 inch thick burger which is surely satisfy your taste buds. The restaurant during weekends hold a burger challenge where if you finish the said burger in less than three (3) minutes, you would get it for free.

Are you good enough to take the challenge?

Late at night, the restaurant transforms into a bar which serves different Viquors and beverages along with different appetizers. Guests are entertained by live acoustic bands from Lipa and Batangas City which plays on a nightly basis. Its best seller is its own "Crispy Pata" which underwent several processes to perfect the dish.

So if you are looking for a place to dine, chill, bond and enjoy great music, 12x8 Pipe Bar and Restaurant is the place to be.

The first among its main establishments is Cafe de Alps - the first and only bus cafe in Batangas which serves rice meals, all-day American breakfast, and pasta. It is also the only establishment within CFA allowed to serve coffee, both hot and cold. Hotspot KTV, on the other hand, boasts of its cozy KTV rooms perfect for night cuts and belting out tunes with family and friends. Twins Wild Wings, meanwhile, is the only restaurant allowed to serve different preparations of chicken wings among its clients. Bulls and Booze as the name suggest serves different types of steak and booze to please its guests. Big Boned Restobar exclusively serves back ribs steak with a western and Batanguenyo fusion of dish in addition to other dishes. It likewise serves both alcoholic and non-alchoholic beverages.

The dream is now a reality, Ciudad Food Avenue - the dream food hub for Batanguenyos.

Our overall experience is really satisfying and we enjoy every moment of our stay. The place is so clean and tidy. It surrounds by plants and trees that make it cooler and relaxing. You can enjoy also watching a film while eating your favorite food, this is one of the added service they have which I did not see in the other food park in metro manila.
