The leading camera brand held the first-ever #VlogWithSony event at the Blue Leaf Pavilion in Taguig. It gathered about 100 of the country'smost sought-after content creators and rising Youtuber stars to welcome the kick-off of the "Total Vlogging Solutions".

Banana Boat Simply Protect lets you enjoy anything and everything under the sun

Image
Why do people need sunscreen? Sunscreen protects the skin from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays, which come in two forms – UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are most commonly associated with skin aging; these beams cause fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots that make skin look prematurely older. UVA rays have the ability to pass through glass, meaning your skin is exposed to them while you are driving and standing or sitting in front of windows with the blinds open. UVB rays are the ones most commonly associated with sunburns. Unlike UVA rays, UVB beams cannot pass through glass. Both UVA and UVB rays are carcinogens (cancer-causing), which is why you should invest in a sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection against both types. Since it is summer and we want to be unstoppable, seizing all the possible things we can do under the sun, we must not forget to apply sunscreen or sunblock for skin protection. Good thing, Banana Boat simplifies Fun in the Sun with the new Banana B...

My Takeaway from Sun Life Philippines Market Outlook Conference

Image
I was just starting to enjoy talks, seminars, workshops and the likes about financial literacy. The events I attended with regards to it are very helpful especially now that I have growing up kids whose needs are also growing from time to time. So let me share you some of the insights I gathered from the Market Outlook Conference I attended a week ago. Positive Market Outlook and Economic Performance The S&P raised the Philippines credit rating to BBB+. It's an indication of a strong economy in the first half of 2019. This credit rating also means that lenders will lower borrowing costs, both for government and private companies. The Philippine inflation is now at 6-month lows at 3.0% for April, down from a peak of 6.7% in September. Food prices have helped depress the inflationary pressures in 2018 and this year's El Nino is expected to be relatively tame versus prior years. It is viewed that the 2019 GDP will see a strong rebound in consumption since...

World Class Manufacturing Demands Standards, Consistency and Transparency

Image
It is a pivotal time for nutrition companies across the world as more and more people take aim at making healthy living a priority. As the nutrition and vitamin industry rapidly expands, manufacturers are rushing to keep up with the pace of product demand. Unfortunately, many laboratories and facilities operate in isolation and seldom receive an independent technical evaluation to measure their compliance and performance in manufacturing. Increased product demand should never jeopardize high standards for quality and now more than ever, manufacturers must be transparent and consistent in their processes. So how can nutritional products manufacturers achieve product quality, consistency and transparency? In order to achieve this goal, a company must start with the sourcing of high-quality ingredients and continue through the meticulous production and advanced testing of every finished product. Once a company has made the decision to achieve these high standards, having t...
