Sunpiology Duo will soon cater to both runners and cyclists

The highly-anticipated annual fun run organized by Sun Life Financial Philippines, will soon cater to both running and cycling enthusiasts, as it evolves into a two-fold event dubbed Sunpiology Duo.

#SunpiologyDUO will come in two parts: Sun Life Cycle PH @BGC and Sun Life Resolution Run.

Sun Life Cycle PH will take place on November 18, 2017, at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. Sun Life will be mounting the event in partnership with Sunrise Events, Inc., which is known for its flagship projects that focus on race organization and sports tourism. The contract signing between the two companies was held recently in Shangri-La Mactan in Cebu, with Sun Life CEO and Country Head Riza Mantaring, Sun Life brand ambassador Piolo Pascual, Sunrise Founder Wilfred Uytengsu, and Sunrise General Manager Princess Galura in attendance.

“We recognize cycling’s growing popularity in the Philippines, and this is our share in helping encourage more people to get into the sport,” Sun Life Chief Marketing Officer Mylene Lopa said. “Just as it is in our fun run, Sun Life Cycle PH will cater to different ages and will offer different categories.”

Sun Life Cycle PH will have a total of seven categories: Tricycle Ride (100 meters for 2-3 year olds), Kids’ Ride (500 meters for 4-5 year olds), Family Ride (30 minutes for 6-15 year olds with adult companion), Solo Ride (30 minutes for 6-15 years old), Short Distance Ride (20km for 10 years old and above), and Long Distance Ride (40km for 10 years old and above). A charity category called Bid2Bike lets the fans of Piolo Pascual, Matteo Guidicelli, Inigo Pascual, Gerald Anderson, and other Star Magic celebrities, bid for a chance to bike alongside their idols, an exclusive photo souvenir, and have their jersey signed. For cycling enthusiasts, they can bid to ride with legend Robbie McEwen.

Meanwhile, the Sun Life Resolution Run will happen on January 20, 2018. As with the previous years, Sun Life will once again mount the event with Run Rio and will offer 3k, 5k, and 10k categories. It features an obstacle course that illustrates the steps to prevent diabetes, like watching what you eat and why exercise is important. More details will be revealed in the coming months, which includes an expanded payment facility like PayPal and DragonPay.
Interested to do both Sunpiology Duo events? Sign up for Sun Life CyclePH @BGC and get P100 off Sun Life Resolution Run registration fees. Registration for both races is now open at www.sunpiology.com.
Promoting physical fitness, supporting worthwhile causes
Sunpiology Duo will likewise retain its charitable components, where it will continue to raise funds for the different causes it has been supporting for the past seven years. These include the education of scholars from Hebreo 12:1 Foundation and Star Magic’s chosen charities.

Moreover, Sunpiology Duo will continue to be a star-studded happening, with Star Magic celebrities, as well as ambassadors of Sun Life’s wellness community GoWell, expected to participate.

The Sunpiology list of sponsors is also growing every year, starting with the following partners for Sun Life Cycleph @BGC: F2P, Powerade, Rudy Project, Cignal, Philippine Star, 2Go, Alcopllus, and Garmin.

“With Sunpiology Duo, we can now cater to even more Filipinos who are eager to get a boost in their fitness journey and contribute to worthwhile causes while at it,” Lopa said. “It’s surely going to be an exciting event. We look forward to seeing our Sunpiology regulars, and we’re also eager to welcome those who will be joining us for the first time.”

Asian Aesthetic Center: Freeze and Melt Fat Away Permanently

Is it possible to freeze and melt fat away? This is one big question that we attempt to solve but first, we must understand how body fat functions in our body.

Body fat as defined in many books is categorized as adipose tissue which is a normal component of the human body. Its primary purpose is to store energy in the form of fat that is then needed for metabolic functions within the body. However, having excess body fat can be physiologically harmful and at the same time can negatively affect one’s appearance. Thus the idea of the possibility to melt fat away comes to mind when all else failed.

Can body fat be destroyed?

Unfortunately, fat cells are indestructible since our body has a constant number of fat cells that will remain in our lifetime. However, fat cells can be reduced or shrink in size through various methods like freeze and melt fat away.

You see, when people lose weight their fat cells are also reduced in size but the body will signal the need to rebuild the shrunken fat cells thus the tendency to gain more weight after slimming down is higher. This is when frustration about getting rid of body fat comes into place. This is when most people would give up the fight against being overweight and obesity. However, there is a way to melt fat away through an effective method that Asian Aesthetic Center can best provide.

What is Melt and Freeze The Fat Away?

Asian Aesthetic Center (ACC) has an effective method to slim down the body and face which can melt fat away. It is so good that ACC’s co-founder Dra. Amy Bautista has registered a trademark for “Melt and Freeze The Fat Away”.

Melt and freeze the fat away is a non-invasive procedure that slims down and will melt fat away permanently. This exclusive procedure of  Dra. Amy Bautista of the Asian Aesthetic Center incorporates the utilization of both controlled heat and freezing techniques that will effectively melt fat away for good. As the fat cells self-destruct, it will eventually die then gradually be eliminated naturally from the body. So far, this is an effective and safest fat elimination procedure in the Philippines today that Asian Aesthetic Center can best provide.

Asian Aesthetic Center Unique Approach to Beauty

With Dra. Amy Bautista as the medical director and founder, she incorporates a personal approach in dealing with each client. Being born with artistic talent, at a very young age, she has master anatomy specifically facial and body symmetry which she as a professional medical doctor who specialized in aesthetics integrates on all Asian Aesthetic Center slimming and beauty procedures.

Being true to the fact that each person is born differently with a unique set of facial/body features, Asian Aesthetic Center ‘freeze and melt fat away’ high-tech and effective fat melting treatment conforms to each individual bodily structure.

Asian Aesthetic Center adheres to the philosophy that each client deserves a tailor-made treatment that would provide natural results. Dra. Amy Bautista's list of patients at ACC come up looking naturally beautiful with a slimmer waist, sleeker thighs, toned arms, lesser facial lines and even with firmed well-defined chin and neck. This is what the exclusive trademarked ‘melt and freeze the fat away’ can do to anybody who wishes to become naturally good looking with youthful features.

Have you ever thought of getting rid of your body fat for good? Have you ever wonder if there is a way to melt fat away? Like many Asian people, we Filipinos are prone to storing fats in our bodies and these fatty deposits get into areas that we are not most proud of.

JazzyPay - making secure, safe, and fast remittances

Jazzypay a new payment platform introduced in the market today promises to provide secure, safe, and fast, remittances for payments to schools, hospitals, clinics, and other facilities.

Safety and Security

When you pay online using either your credit card, debit card or PayPal, the security of JazzyPay ensures that your transaction is safe as the information is not saved. This site has a multiple data encryption that does the task of protecting this payment's system. This means that all the information and data is encrypted in such a way that if it is penetrated, nothing valuable can be retrieved. It is simple to understand the need for not storing important information like the 3 digit code at the back of the credit card. This makes JazzyPay a great choice as the information that you provide them is safe from cybercriminals.

Using JazzyPay

This payment platform has a website and mobile apps. It is ideal to be used by people abroad such as OFWs, and anyone that is not near the facilities that need to be paid. This is also ideal for employers that have to pay for their workers' hospital bills and even those kind-hearted generous ones that want to pay for a school bill.

The remittance of payments to a hospital, educational facility, and other establishments solves the problem of having to send the money, withdraw, and pay the bill by going there. It eliminates long lines and waiting to pay a bill. It eliminates the need of carrying a large amount of money. It is also possible that there is no one there to take care of the bill. A person might be alone, hospitalized, while their loved one is abroad. And, it is also possible that the money remitted through other channels might be misused instead of settling important bills.

JazzyPay does the task of ensuring that the bills are settled through the use of their payment platform.

Who Should Use JazzyPay?

We all have to pay bills. There are over 2 million overseas contract workers and more people from all over the world who do pay the hospital and educational bills. There are over 17,000 private schools and over a thousand private hospitals that currently do not use online payment, making it impossible to directly pay to their facilities from overseas.

JazzyPay enables people to make online payments to educational facilities, healthcare facilities, and other establishments, instantly, anytime, and from anywhere.

JazzyPay has an advocacy. Currently, it is partnering with top educational and medical institutions, to open doors to the discovery and support of the next generation of potential entrepreneurs conducting thesis and case studies in line with agricultural, medicinal and technical breakthroughs which can greatly improve lives. JazzyPay donates 5% of revenues for scholarship, thesis competition, start-up pitch and acceleration programs.

This company goes on track to aid in the startup ecosystem and is determined to help alleviate poverty by creating more job opportunities here in the Philippines so that will eventually elevate our economic status.

Tupperware Brands Philippines supports playtime , introduces new sets for moms and kids

Who doesn't love to watch kids play – learn new sports and activities for the very first time? Kids get so excited when they play. They are energetic and engaged as they build their muscles along with their imagination and confidence. Active play is so much more enjoyable for kids and parents alike than parking them in front of the TV or letting them play with gadgets.

Parents should encourage kids to learn new skills and enjoy the pure act of a physical play.  Through physical activity, children are given the chance to try new things, conquer their fears and build their confidence. 

Play also develops key motor and athletic skills. When children touch their toes, they learn about coordination, balance and spatial relationships. When they play with a ball, they strengthen their fine-motor skills. When they dance, they learn about rhythm and move to the beat.

Playing with others teaches kids teamwork and good sportsmanship. Children get to interact with each other in a social, non-competitive environment. It doesn't matter if they win or lose – it's about working together and trying their best.

Play also build strong bonds between parents and children. When parents or caregivers demonstrate activities to the kids, not only are kids learning crucial physical skills, they're also clocking more quality time interacting with those adults.

Playtime makes kids happy. Play is like children's work so we must allow children to play to socialize, develop, and learn new skills–while learning about themselves and others. Thru playtime, kids are able to develop a daily routine that doubles as the perfect start to a healthy, active lifestyle; all without even realizing it.

Because of these benefits that the parents and children would get from playing, Tupperware Brands Philippines' Baby Care Plus+ and Kids Plus+ launched their new line of products to support babies and kids at play. Each set of products comes with a very nice box packaging and is specially combined to match the needs of babies, kids, and moms. Each box is worth Php249.00, perfect for gifting this holiday season.

To make mommy and baby's bonding moment a lot more unforgettable, they have this Mom and Baby Bonding Set which contains Baby Care Plus+ Milk baby lotion (50ml), baby bath (50ml), and baby powder (50g).

For baby's delicate skin, Baby Care Plus offers the Newborn Starter Set which contains baby lotion (50ml), baby bath (50ml), and baby powder (50g).

To keep baby protected all day and to keep them always smelling fresh, there's the Baby Care Plus+ Happy Baby Set which includes baby lotion (50ml), baby bath (50ml), and baby powder (50g).

To help baby achieve longer hours of sleep, Baby Care Plus+ Calming offers the Baby Spa Set which contains baby lotion (50ml), baby bath (50ml), and baby powder (50g).

They also have new products from the Kids Plus+ line which help kids stay fresh and comfortable while playing with other kids such as lotion, powder, and shampoo.

With Mommy's TLC partnered with the protection from Baby Care Plus+ and Kids Plus+ , kids will surely have the best playtime of their life and parents will surely have a peace-of-mind while letting their kids explore and enjoy the big world around them through play.

Young virtuosos entice new audience into classical music with timeless oeuvres

For Filipinos, classical music may not have a cult-like following like that of Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift. But young and accomplished performers of classical music are showing that classical music can be appealing, too.

On September 24, winners of the National Music Competitions for Young Artists (NAMCYA), the country’s most prestigious music competition for the youth for more than 40 years, will be performing with the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra (PPO) to give a sampling of great works of some of the most prodigious composers who ever lived.

Titled “Konsyerto: Unang Hakbang,” this concert of NAMCYA winners together with the PPO introduces the audience to snippets of longer musical works that have defined musical genres throughout history.

“We called it ‘unang hakbang,’ or first step, because we hope the audience will take that first step to appreciate the beauty of classical music. It is also the first step for some of our young musicians on the stage as professional musicians,” says NAMCYA Secretary General Renato Lucas. “It will be a night of magnificent music-making by NAMCYA’s young virtuosos.”

Lucas adds that NAMCYA has chosen five of its most recent winners to help bring their music to younger audiences.

Andrew Constantino, 1st prize & Special Prize winner for Woodwind (Clarinet) in 2015, will explore the leaps and limits of the clarinet range with Allegro from Clarinet Concerto No. 2, Op. 74, of Carl Maria von Weber (1786 - 1826). Andrew is a 20-year-old clarinetist who was taught by his grandfather to play the clarinet at age 9. He was also a scholar of the Philippine High School for the Arts (PHSA).

Aaron Rafael Aguila III, 1st prize & Best Interpretation winner in the 2016 Senior Guitar Category, will bring to life a classic guitar piece by performing Adagio from Concerto de Aranjuez by Joaquin Rodrigo (1901 - 1999). Aaron started playing classical guitar at the age of 9 under Ivar Fojas. He earned his music degree under the tutelage of Lester Demetillo and has trained with other well-known classical guitarists.

Nikki Zen Obmasca, 1st prize winner in the 2016 Solo Rondalla Category, will delight the audience with her rendition of Moto Perpetuo by Nicolo Paganini (1782-1840). This piece of Paganini was made for violin but Nikki will play it with her bandurria and infuse her own virtuosic way of playing. She started playing the bandurria when she was only 5 years old and is now a scholar of the PHSA under the tutelage of Nelson Espejo.

Mishael Romano, 1st prize winner in the 2016 Junior Strings (Violin) Category, will attempt to show the innovativeness of Felix Mendelssohn (1809 - 1847) with Allegro molto appassionato from the composer’s Violin Concerto, Op. 64. Mishael is 17-years-old and hails from Dipolog in Mindanao. He started playing the violin when he was only 5-years-old, and because he is homeschooled, he has more time to focus on his music.

Gabriel Allan Paguirigan, a two-time winner of NAMCYA, having won the grand prize in 2011 (Category B) and in 2015 (Senior Category), will display his artistry and mastery by performing a Hungarian work, Adagio religioso-Allegro vivace from Piano Concerto No. 3, Sz. 119 of Bela Bartok (1881-1945). Gabriel started his piano lessons at the age of 8 and has finished his Diploma in Creative and Performing Music Arts (DCPMA) Major in Piano, under the tutelage of Prof. Luci Magalit and Prof. Nita Abrogar-Quinto.

The country’s leading orchestra and resident company of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the PPO will also perform Der Freischuetz Overture by Carl Maria von Weber and L’italiana in Algeri Overture by Gioacchino Rossini. The orchestra will be under the baton of Maestro Herminigildo Ranera.

“We are trying to open up new opportunities for our youth today to explore music from the great composers of the past. We hope NAMCYA’s young artists will help us with that,” says Lucas.

NAMCYA PROFILE - National Competitions for Young Artists (NAMCYA)

Mandate
In recognition of the Filipinos’ innate love for music, the National Competitions for Young Artists (NAMCYA) was formally organized in 1973 under Presidential Proclamation No. 1173 and amended on November 1988 as a response to “the imperative need to develop and promote Philippine music as an art and as a handmaid of cultural development.”
PP 1173 has designated the last week of November of each year as National Music Week, with the NAMCYA Competitions as main highlights of the celebration. In 2001, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed Presidential Proclamation No. 80 which affirms NAMCYA’s mission for the nation’s young artists. This Proclamation further designates the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) as the primary supporting agency of this endeavor.

Mission
To Discover and Develop outstanding young Filipino Musicians and Artists.
The NAMCYA has been a principal instrument in discovering major music talents from all over the country. Its project involves some one million musicians, trainers and administrations, in a long and tedious process of selecting the best among the regions annually.

NAMCYA has a three-fold program: 
1. Discovering outstanding Young Filipino musicians from every region of the country through annual competitions
2. Developing these musicians through Workshops and Training Programs
3. Enhancing and expanding the appreciation for and performance of Filipino music by way of mandated competition repertoire programs and commissioning of new works.

ANNUAL COMPETITIONS. These identify outstanding performers falling under the categories that included group and solo performances.

Group Categories: Children’s Choir, Youth Choir, Adult Choir, Rondalla Ensemble, and Traditional Music Ensemble.

Solo Categories: Solo Voice, Strings, Piano, Woodwinds, Brasses, Percussion, Solo Rondalla Instruments.

In line with decentralization, these are intended to share the music of outstanding young talents with the rest of the country. They are also intended to raise nationwide awareness of the wealth of Filipino talents as well as the depth of Philippine music in both its traditional and modern forms.

MASTER CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS. These are aimed at upgrading the skills of performers, conductors, teachers, students and parents who accompany their children on the competition and workshop sojourns witness first-hand the kind of work and dedication that are necessary for by music accomplishment. Furthermore, they are exposed to the quality of other artist competitors and are able to broaden and widen their perspectives vis-à-vis music training and education.


EXPANDING FILIPINO MUSIC. Another concern of NAMCYA is the development of a repertory of music by Filipino Composers intended for young artists, with this, the NAMCYA commissions contest pieces for the annual event.

Finally! Few moments of me-time from Derma 360

Busy stay-at-home or work-at-home Moms, needs pampering too. Some time off from their usual daily grind is a breather, something that lets them feel brand new and lets them feel better as they continue to perform their duties. I am no exception to those mommies who would always want to go out for my me-time but I hate leaving my kids especially the little one who is now 3 years old at home. So when The Momma Club (https://www.facebook.com/themommaclubph/) - a community for Pinay moms -, invited me for a day of pampering in a derma center wherein I can bring along my kid with me, I never had a second thought.

Last August 30, 2017, I've got the privilege to visit Derma 360 Dermatological Center at the Ground Floor, Joya Lofts and Towers, Estrella St. Rockwell CenterMakati 1200. Dr. Joanne Bustamante – Gonzalez, M.D. - a fellow of Philippine Dermatological Society and American Academy of Dermatology and is also a member of the International Society of Dermatology - gave the mommies some insights about skin care while the kids were upstairs enjoying their own activity. It was followed by a simple bonding moment between the staff and management of the establishment while munching on delicious treats - pizzas, ensaymadas, and more. Mommies were also treated to a relaxing facial after the snacks. Review of the facial treatment will soon be up on the blog.

USANIMALS - yummy vitamins for the kids holistic development

Parents, especially Mommies, how do you choose your child's daily vitamins or supplements? Do you base it on the taste, the price, the packaging, the promo bundled in it or the over-all contents?

Media is one of the greatest influencers when it comes to choosing our kid's vitamins, but what the media usually shows is not always the best.

Nearly 70% of children's vitamins come from either syrup or gummy form. While this may make them appealing to children, that may not be a good thing as hundred of parent's rush to the emergency room each year with children who ate or consumed the whole bottle.

Vitamins shouldn't be seen as a candy or a treat; your child's vitamins should be given with a meal. Do not make them a reward or a chore. Very few people truly understand how difficult it is to make a children's chewable vitamin that is complete, palatable, low in sugar and without any artificial sweeteners or flavors. There are many companies that provide products with some of these characteristics, but very few have the whole package.

Growing children require higher amounts of magnesium, calcium and other minerals. Trace minerals like selenium, manganese, copper, chromium, and molybdenum are needed as well but unfortunately is not found in most leading children's vitamins in the Philippines.

We've always said food first to get your child's recommended daily dose of vitamins but the reality is that most diets are deficient in many areas. And in many ways, nutrition is even more crucial in children who are actively growing and developing, kilo by kilo each day. Many studies show that our children do not receive the nutrition they need from diet.

The best source of your child's vitamins should contain the right formulation, the suited raw ingredients of high quality to ensure maximum potency, purity and bioavailability and a formulation that should come from a Pharmaceutical Grade manufacturing facility.

Great news, because USANA Health Sciences, a US-based nutritional company that manufactures high-quality supplements, personal care, and food products; introduces USANIMALS, the vitamins that can provide all the nutrients a child needs for daily nutrition and overall health.

With the help of Usanimals by USANA, parents can support their children's growth in a fun, convenient and healthful way. Usanimals is a daily multivitamin for children 2 to 12 with a balanced formula that contains 23 essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support healthy growth and development for healthy immmune functions and energy levels and bone support.

Usanimals contains quality antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to help ensure that the essential nutrients are present in the child's diet. It contains vital micronutrients such as Vitamins A, C, E and zinc to boost immunity, B6, B12, folate, and choline for healthy brain function; calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D for strong bones and teeth; and iron, thiamin, and B12 for energy. It also contains calcium pantothenate, biotin, inositol, antioxidant phytonutrient complex (blackberry, raspberry, cranberry, blueberry fruit powder) selenium, copper, manganese, chromium, and molybdenum. It is free of artificial flavors and sweeteners. Each chewable tablet is easy to eat, is stamped with animal shapes and has a natural wild berry flavor, making it yummy and fun treat for kids!
