I want to live my life to the fullest. But how? What is the recipe for a well-lived life? How do we start living better?

Of course, we have different answers depending on our current roles and our goals. One thing’s for sure though – our future is uncertain. And we always deal with the only constant thing in this world – change. Since this is the case, I always want to make the most out of my time and truly experience every moment.

I have attended numerous events and listened to talks on how we prepare for the future. But only Philam Life empowers Filipinos to start living better. They answer the “how” parts of this journey. 

From the words of one of Philam Life’s brand ambassadors, Wil Dasovich: "If the opportunity doesn't knock, build a door… Experience as much as possible with the amount of time that you have. As you age, you will come into realization that you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did do".  
So, yeah! Just recently, I had the most extreme and fantastic experience in my life. I skydived! And having my family around, cheering for me, encouraging all the strength and courage in me, helped me braved it through. I jumped out of the plane! The entire thing seemed to have taken forever. I was just there, amazed and lost for words in the sea of clouds. It was, by far, the craziest and the fearless thing I have ever done. At the end of that experience, I realized that I can do anything as long as I have my family with me. All the more that I have to secure and protect them.

To learn more about Philam Life’s new campaign, I went to the very first Philam Life #LiveBetter Expo at Glorietta 2 Activity Center. 
It was an experiential journey to the brand’s four (4) key pillars: fitness, food, wellness, and financial health. For me, this is the formula to a holistic lifestyle. With their partner companies, we enjoyed various treats on health and wellness-oriented offerings and activities that are definitely inspiring. This event is in line with the company's shift to the wellness space in an effort to help Filipinos live longer, healthier, and better lives.






I was thrilled to check out the different booths! Not only did I learn about how each pillars and the partner brands can help Filipinos #LiveBetter, I also learned about myself as I participate in different activities.
To enthuse us even more, Philam Life Ambassadors Nico Bolzico, Solenn Heaussaff-Bolzico, and Mond Gutierrez were present. They talked about living a well-balanced life and how living healthier is important. All of them are my new inspiration in achieving not only fitness but also life balance and wellness. 
"Through the #LiveBetter Expo, we will be able to show Filipinos how they can live better through the different pillars of wellness. Live Better is not just our brand promise, but a commitment supported by Philam Vitality, the platform from which we can help them achieve it. We have products powered by Philam Vitality that will allow them to earn points for knowing and improving their health. We are the only life insurance company who has the actual tools to deliver on the promise of helping Filipinos achieve total wellness" - Bernadette Chincuanco, Philam Life Head of Brand and Communications.


I am looking forward to more adventures and wonderful experiences! It feels so good to know that, while I’m living life to the fullest, I’m also prepared for the future.
Thank you Philam Life for helping us to #LiveBetter.

Discover how you too can #LiveBetter!

Do you have Unhealthy Gums? 
  • appear to be red 
  • Swollen, puffy or tender to the touch
  • bleed when brushed, flossed or even gently touched
Here are some tips on how to maintain healthy gums: 

1. Eat the right foods
An easy way to make sure your gums are getting the healthy support they need is through your diet.
Want healthier gums? Eat more of these foods. 
  • Onions
  • Leafy Greens 
  • Green Tea
  • Peppers and Citrus Fruits 
  • Shiitake mushrooms
  • Celery, carrots, and apples
  • Milk, Yogurt, and cheese 

2. Keep on flossing
Floss at least once a day or every after meal. This helps remove the plaque and food that is beyond your toothbrush's reach. It doesn't matter when you floss: Do it a night, do it in the morning, or do it after lunch... just do it! 

3. Keep on brushing 
Brush your teeth after every meal. This helps remove the food and plaque trapped between your teeth and gums. Scrub your tongue too, since it can harbor bacteria. As for toothpaste, how do you which one is best for healthy gums? 

I highly recommend this new toothpaste that can help fight germs for healthy gums and strong teeth from the brand most recommended by dentists. 


    Colgate officially introduces the Colgate Active Salt Toothpaste, its first toothpaste that contains the natural goodness of salt. Colgate Active Salt formula combines salt with calcium and minerals and with regular brushing, helps fight germs for healthy gums and strong teeth. Developed after extensive consumer research, Colgate Active Salt addresses most Filipinos' pressing oral health concerns. Its refreshing minty taste infused with natural ingredient of salt brings a unique brushing experience.  
    Danai Sirisuvun, Senior Product Manager of Colgate-Palmolive Philippines with Colgate Active Salt Brand Ambassador Jodi Sta Maria
    "Filipinos have a strong affinity with the traditional benefits of salt for oral care. Colgate Active Salt combines this natural ingredient with Colgate's trusted formula. It is a unique and effective toothpaste perfect for the whole family to use for healthy gums and strong teeth, with regular brushing" said Mr. Danai Sirisuvun, Senior Product Manager at Colgate-Palmolive Philippines. 

    Colgate Active Salt is now available in leading supermarkets and sari-sari stores nationwide. It retails in three sizes that are priced affordably at Php105 for 180g, Php85 for P132g, and Php25 for 35g (based on suggested retail price).

    Aging is inevitable, but it doesn’t mean we can no longer feel good about ourselves anymore when this happens. To stay youthful from the inside out, there are a lot of practices and habits that we can do and maintain. To stay fit and fab, I exercise and keep a healthy diet. On top of that, to help me improve my immune system and sustain my energy despite my busy schedule as a mom, I also take vitamins and supplements. However, having the youthful glow and vigor is equally important because it doesn’t simply mean looking young. More so, it means preserving strength from within and reducing body degeneration. I wouldn’t be able to achieve all of that without getting some aid. 

    When I first heard about Collagen, I thought it was something artificial and that it could be hazard. I got curious, so I did a little research about it. I was surprised! Collagen is actually part of our body. It makes up one-third of the protein in our body, and it acts as supporting structures and anchor cells to each other. Here’s more, collagen serves as protective covering for delicate organs in the body, such as the kidneys. However, as we get older, we get exposed to factors in our surrounding – smoking, UV light, etc. These make our body produce less collagen. The result? Wrinkles form, joint cartilage weakens, we lose our natural vivacity. 

    Before it’s too late, I recommend Gloww Collagen Powdered Drink. I have been drinking this for the last couple of months, and I can really testify to its great benefits! My days can be very toxic, but I don’t have to worry anymore about my cells wearing out from the inside, because a daily dose of Gloww Collagen Powdered Drink helps my body produce more collagen. And what a better way to attain a beautiful and radiant look than starting from within. This is just what I need. 


    Gloww Collagen Powdered Drink has Verisol, a German-engineered collagen. It is broken down into small molecules, which make it easily absorbed by the body. I love that it comes in powdered drink form as it is easy to prepare, and carry along with me wherever I go. A splash of mixed berries after a long day is a perfect treat! 

    Here’s what I can get in one glass: 
    • Improves skin elasticity, smoothness and moisturization in helping my skin look youthful, beautiful and healthy with 8 weeks of continued use along with proper diet and exercise. 
    • Reduces skin wrinkles and age spots
    • Younger, brighter and pinkish skin 
    • Increase skin firmness 



    I intend to continue drinking Gloww Collagen to achieve improved skin elasticity, moisture and wrinkle reduction. Cheers to that! 

    Again, we age. That’s a given. As we always say, it’s just a number, right? Yes, because it is possible to stay young and feel youthful inside out. #CaptivatinglyGlowwing

    Start now. Get your daily dose of Gloww Collagen Powdered Drink from all Mercury Drug Store and Watsons nationwide for Php 90 per sachet or Php 2,700 per box (30 sachets). 

    You can also purchase Gloww Collagen at Lazada. 

    Suggested intake is one sachet a day for optimum results. Visible results can be seen in as early as 8 weeks. 

    It is safe and approved food supplement by FDA Philippines.

    Making its mark with decades of experience in digital imaging in line with the latest advancements in technology, Canon continues to be the leading service provider of digital imaging solutions around the world as it celebrates its 80th birthday as a company. Reaching this milestone has encouraged the company to push further and continue to innovate, and cultivate creative ways of bringing delight to their customers. 

    Canon Marketing (Philippines), Inc. (CMPI) lives out this initiative and celebrates the success of Canon by launching a line up of exciting and highly anticipated events that will give Filipinos even more reasons to smile.  

    “We all know how a simple smile can go a long way, take you to places, and make a difference in someone’s day. Amidst all the challenges that surround us, a smile could easily create a happy disposition that leads to a positive and encouraging environment that we all aspire for,” shares new CMPI President, Kazuhiro Ozawa. “This is why we at Canon have chosen to commemorate this milestone with Filipinos by giving them more reasons to bear bigger and wider smiles on their faces.”

    Among the big announcements of CMPI that aim to excite Filipinos in light of the celebration are:

    1. The comeback of the much-awaited Canon PhotoMarathon that is set to happen on  October 21, 2017. A highly-anticipated photo competition that challenges participants to “create photographic masterpieces in line with assigned themes under time pressure,” this competition is posed to be bigger and better as it extends to more users of different Canon camera types ranging from entry level point-and-shoot, mirrorless category, up to the EOS line. Participants can join simply by registering their Canon cameras through the Canon Imagenation Philippines website or the Canon Red App, filling out the contact information, and paying a participation fee of PHP 500. Registration runs from September 8 to October 9, 2017.

    1. A Technology & Solutions Expo, Leadership & Productivity Workshops, and strengthened on-going government partnerships are already in place in line with Canon’s efforts to help different industries streamline processes and improve productivity in the workplace. The company believes that making businesses and its operations simpler could bring more delight to customers, thus, it continues to aggressively impart this idea with its partners in these ways.

    1. Recognizing the emerging number of Filipino photography enthusiasts and hobbyists who aspire to hone their craft and be able to capture memorable smiles and experiences, Canon will conduct a series of Thematic Workshops for them that target specific areas of interest such as food, fashion & beauty, art, and landscape photography. Filipinos are in for insightful experiences as Canon partners with photography professionals, ambassadors and influencers, and camera clubs to impart their knowledge in these exclusive activities.


    1. Lastly, Canon adds two new powerful cameras in its product line that can perfectly up the game of beginners and enthusiasts in photography. The new Canon 6D Mark II is an addition to the EOS 6D line that is the lightest in the Canon EOS full-frame DSLR line. It is equipped with top-of-the-line technology that produces clearer images even under low light conditions and creates an impressive background blur effect for subjects moving in optimum speed.

      Meanwhile, the new Canon 200D is a beginner’s alternative, which, while considered an entry-level camera, it is already equipped with hi-tech features including increased background blur capabilities for shooting moving subjects, Bluetooth functions to upload and transfer on-the-go, and
      a Vari-angle touch screen LCD monitor that allows users to experiment with different compositions to shoot in different angles. It is lightweight, compact, and stylish too!

    “We are excited to share all these things with our Filipino customers as we continue to help them celebrate their passions, hone their skills, improve their lives at the capacity of our Canon technology—ultimately carrying out our mission of bringing them delight all the time,” adds Mr. Ozawa.

    A handful of exciting activities await Filipinos in celebration of Canon’s 80th birthday. 
    Be updated by being part of the Canon community by downloading and installing the Canon Red App on mobile phones, which is available in Google Play and Apple App store.

    Heads up, everyone! Watsons knows you’ve got so much on your plate that you forget to give yourselves some TLC. You’ve been juggling between work and play, trying to cover as much ground as possible that you tend to spread yourself too thin. And because of this, it is no surprise that you forget to take care of yourself that it eventually takes a toll on your overall well-being.

    Watsons is here to help you to revitalize your youthful vigor and bring back the vitality you need to enjoy life!

    To help you get back on track, Watsons started the “Time to Renew” campaign to lead people back to restoring their beauty and recharging their health. 

    The campaign focused on three categories that most of people tend to set aside to accommodate their tight schedules— Restore your Beauty for proper skin care, Revitalize your hair to bring life back to dull tresses, and Recharge your Health for a more energized and healthier body.


    Because of busy schedules, we tend to develop poor sleeping habits that not only affect our mood but also contribute to the dullness of our skin, which makes it prone to blemishes, dry skin, acne and oily skin. At Watsons, restoring your skin’s beauty is now made easy with products like Pond’s, Olay, L’oreal, Belo, Celeteque, Neutrogena, Snow, St. Ives, Suave, Bellic, Glutamax, Cosmo Skin and Nivea Men crème.

    But more than our skin, it’s most often that we forget about protecting our hair. Not being able to cover it up with any sort of sun shield because we’re in a rush or just don’t have the time can result to hair problems— it gets greasier, we become more prone to hair fall, and greying hair. Taking care of our hair doesn’t end with simply shampooing and conditioning. Our hair also needs intensive protection from the sun and heat styling products, especially for those who love playing with their locks. Make it a point to revitalize your hair with hair loving products like Tresemme, L’Oreal, Dove and Moringa.

    It’s important to recharge your health to achieve the 100% you. But when the going gets really tough, there comes a point where even our eating and exercise habits are put aside in the shelf. Little do we know that skipping exercise and meals lead to lack of energy and lack of nutrition. With Watsons’ healthy solutions such as Cosmo Cee, Poten-Cee, Met Tathione, IVI Collagen, Myra E, Stresstabs, Belo Glutathione, Snow Caps and Kilo-off, you can have a healthier life and get in tip-top shape in no time.
