5 Things Anne Does At Home (That You Can Do, Too!)

Anne Curtis 10/11/2021 03:13:00 PM

If you’re from the Philippines and watch TV or use the internet, then you’ll most likely know who Anne Curtis is. She’s one of the country’s biggest stars and has maintained a successful career from her teens to adulthood. Yes, she’s beautiful, but she’s also funny, kind, and talented. It’s no wonder people can’t get enough of her even after more than a decade in the spotlight!

However, just like everyone else who had to adjust to working from home, a big celebrity like Anne Curtis also experienced being confined to the four corners of her house (whether in the Philippines or in the land down under). Check out 6 activities that fill her day that you can try, too.

Pet love

Anyone who has a pet knows that hours can go by just by watching your little furry friends run around the house. With her adorable cat, Pixie, who Anne playfully refers to as the female version of Garfield, we can only imagine the hours that pass when they have their play time. You too can take a breather from work by hanging out with your own lovely pet.

Exercise never stops

Anne is known to be a fitness enthusiast. Even before the lockdown, she would join marathons here and abroad. Being at home hasn’t stopped her from filling her days with fitness activities. She even took it a step further and launched her own line of active wear! This is your sign to pick up those dumbbells, jump rope, or yoga mat, and kickstart (or restart) your fitness journey today.

Mommy-baby time

Anne is such a proud mama when it comes to her cute daughter, Dahlia. Who can blame her? Anne shares how she bonds with her little one at home to the delight of Dahlia’s growing number of adoring fans. If you are a new mom, too, or if you have young nephews and nieces, savor their early years and spend time watching them learn about the world around them.

Time to be the boss

Did we mention how talented Anne is? She and her sister-in-law, Solenn, just launched their own clothing line for kids while at home. From the conceptualization to their photoshoot, Anne managed to make it all happen without having to leave her house. If you feel your calling is to be the CEO of your own business, then all your extra time at home might be the thing you need to make that dream happen!

Salontastic at home

Anne is used to having a glam team around her or having a professional salon just one appointment away, but due to safety restrictions, that isn’t always the case today. But for Anne, being away from a physical salon doesn’t mean staying away from salon-level hair treatments, too. That’s because she has her go-to hair secret that gives her salon-level smooth and healthy hair right at home – Pantene 3-Minute Miracle Conditioner!

The best part is that you too can experience the same Salontastic benefits that come with every bottle of Pantene 3-Minute Miracle Conditioner for only ₱6! Take your pick from the three variants to best suit your hair needs. If you want to fight hair fall, it’s time strengthen hair from breakage* with Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Biotin Strength Conditioner. If you want smoother, more manageable hair* for less hassle with your locks at home, then pick Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Keratin Smooth Conditioner. Or if like Anne, you want to repair your hair from the inside-out, then Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Collagen Repair Conditioner is the one for you.

*with system use versus non-conditioning shampoo

Check out Anne’s newest Pantene 3-Minute Miracle Conditioner video on YouTube to see how easy (and affordable!) it is to achieve Salontastic hair right at home! All variants of Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner are available at the P&G official stores on Lazada and Shopee.

GALINCO: 25 Years of Creating Delightful Memories Para sa Pamilyang Pilipino

chips delight 10/10/2021 10:45:00 PM

It was in 1996 when Chips Delight first hit the shelves. These freshly baked and melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chip cookies were the delicious creation of Grand Alphatech International Corporation (GALINCO). Founded by its visionary entrepreneurial Chairman William Co Buchong, GALINCO has always aspired to make products that proclaim “Ang galing ng Pinoy!”, Mr. Co Buchong believes in exporting world class products made from the Philippines rather than “exporting” Filipinos separating them from their loved ones.

Now, 25 years later, GALINCO continues to innovate, create, and deliver delightful treats to millions of families, not just here in the Philippines but around the world.

From its first ever Chips Delight chocolate chip cookies, GALINCO went on to expand its product line to several other delicacies and chocolate snacks. GALINCO Chief Operating Officer Josephine Co-Salonga who was trained in baking in the UK explains: “Humbled by the success of Chips Delight cookies, we made it our mission to consistently cater and come up with products that can be shared by Filipino families, wherever they may be.'' True enough, GALINCO’s irresistible confectionaries and snacks are now staples in every home: Chips Delight, those nostalgic cookies with choco bits—which now comes in other delectable flavors: Striped Chocolate, Striped Cappuccino, Triple Chocolate, Soft Brownie, Peanut & Caramel, and Coffee Caramel. Smileys, the cream-filled cookie that’s every kid’s go-to baon; Egg Bites, treats that are baked-to-perfection and made with real fresh eggs; Sarap Pinoy features easy-to-prepare traditional Filipino snacks like puto, kutsinta, and champorado; Mr. Wow Gulaman, powder-based jelly desserts that are simple and quick to prepare; Cream Delight, hearty and delicious spreads; And to give Filipino families even more variety, GALINCO now bakes fudgy and moist Chips Delight Brownies–which comes with chocolate, white chocolate, and cashew nuts. More delicious chocolate treats are on the way!

Made for Filipinos by Filipinos, it’s really no wonder how GALINCO perfectly captured the panlasang Pinoy that makes the Filipino family bonding experience delightful, creating joy and memories to be treasured for all times.

But GALINCO has not just sweetened every Filipino family’s bonding moment. It has also shared their success with the community. Because Josephine’s mom was a school teacher for 40 years, education is at the core of their corporate social responsibility. GALINCO has donated numerous school buildings in less privileged areas of rural Philippines, which also acts as evacuation centers in times of disaster; gives scholarships to needy families; supports orphanages and abused children; provides community firefighting equipment and aids volunteers—pursuits they will all actively continue in the years to come.

Co-Salonga reiterated that GALINCO owes its success to its millions of customers who have chosen their snacks throughout the years. “Our company would not be where it is had it not been for our loyal patrons, team members and partners. They keep us inspired and motivated to continue bringing high-quality products and delicacies to Filipino homes, which we will continue to happily do. We remain true to our mission—to bring a delightful experience for everyone, every day.”

Senior Citizens Most Vulnerable, Most Need Protection in “Twindemic”

Flu Vaccine 10/08/2021 03:03:00 PM

“One disease can already be very burdensome to the elderly, and so the threat of two diseases to which the elderly are vulnerable-- COVID-19 and the flu-- can be very dangerous to them. It is imperative that we protect the vulnerable, and we have a vaccine we can maximize that.” This is the statement of Philippine College of Geriatric Medicine President Dr. Eduardo Poblete during a webinar organized by the Philippine Foundation for Vaccination (PFV) to stress the importance of protecting the elderly against the “twindemic”, a COVID-19 and influenza coinfection.

Out of 37,000 confirmed deaths in the Philippines due to COVID-19, 56% are male, with 60-69 being the most affected age group followed by 70-79 years of age and 50-59 years[1]. Meanwhile, influenza-attributable deaths in the country account for 5.09 deaths per 100,000 persons, and it is highest among individuals aged 60 years old and above. Experts have continuously warned that elderly are the most vulnerable to the “twindemic”, most especially those who are unprotected from flu since both influenza and COVID-19 have similar symptoms.

PFV Founder and Executive Director Dr. Lulu Bravo supported Poblete’s statements adding that another way to protect senior citizens from the flu is by having everyone around them be vaccinated against influenza. “When you give the flu vaccine to the very young and the very old they actually protect each other. To me that’s how it should be. Give them the flu vaccine they need to prevent them from getting hospitalized.”

Recognizing the vulnerability of our elderly to the ‘twindemic’, the Senior Citizens Partylist have beefed up their efforts to ensure that more and more seniors will be vaccinated against the flu. According to Atty. Charles de Belen, Legal and Legislative Head of the Partylist, their group has been implementing a door-to-door flu vaccination drive since January so the elderly can get inoculated against the flu at the safety of their own homes. The group has also rolled out a vaccine education campaign at the grassroots level to help reduce vaccine hesitancy. Aside from these, de Belen added they have implemented an incentive program for vaccinated senior citizens to help encourage others to get vaccinated.

The country still has a long way to go when it comes to overcoming vaccine hesitancy. But according to experts, all is not lost. “It is our responsibility as a community to spread factual information that can help everyone around us. Educating the public about immunization and informing them of where and how they can get vaccinated can save lives.” Bravo quipped. Experts also called on the younger generations to help educate their lolos and lolas about the importance of getting flu vaccines to help them have longer, healthier, and even more fruitful lives.

Senior citizens may get their free flu vaccines at their nearest health centers.
