Alta Integrative Medicine and Wellness Complex, now open to help you achieve a quality and empowered life

A lot of changes can be felt in our bodies when we reach the age of 30. We might experience health problems such as chest pains, headaches, palpitations, fatigue and/or shortness of breath especially when we are not exercising an active lifestyle.

We want to live long, we want healthy lives but the circumstances surrounding us often make us feel powerless. Some people would just resign themselves to the idea that this is a fact of life that has to be accepted. Some avoid seeking professional help, scared to find out that they're suffering from a certain illness; and there are others who simply chose to self-medicate.


Yes, there are some things in life that must be accepted as they are but when it comes to health, we should not settle for anything less. We should all aim for a quality life because that is one of our responsibilities and that is one main reason for our existence.

The Perpetual Help Medical Center - Las Pinas (PHMC - LP) recognizes these realities that a lot of people are facing. This keen awareness of what people go through has led to the birth of the Alta Integrative Medicine and Wellness Complex.

The Alta Integrative Medicine and Wellness Complex which was launched last April 25, 2019, offers a holistic range of services that aim to empower patients with choices on how they can enhance their over-all-well-being.

The newly opened department is sincere in placing the patient at the core of its reason for being. It is where the patient and its team of highly-trained medical practitioners become partners in finding personalized care that revolves around the treatment and prevention of illnesses and the promotion of behaviors and skills that result in good health.

The new department's team of medical experts is trained to understand that each patient's medical needs are unique and should, therefore, be conscientiously addressed with nuanced intervention.

Health is, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” It is on this idea that the ALTA Integrative Medicine and Wellness Complex was founded because of the fundamental belief that every patient deserves the peace of mind and should be empowered to take a more active role in shaping their health.

Experience a Jurassic Summer at SM Southmall's South Dino Park

A young child is always excited of something new - new foods to taste, new people to meet, new games to play, places to explore, experiences to learn; and one of the things that the infants and toddlers are most curious of is the dinosaurs. Their curiosity to discover a new dinosaur is always a cause for joy.

Why don't we further fuel up our kid's curiosity this summer with life-size replicas and Paleolithic-inspired activities like fossil painting and educational film showings of the world's pre-historic creatures?

Kids came in their best ranger costume at the launch of SM Southmall's South Dino Park

A Jurassic summer awaits kids at SM Southmall's South Dino Park located at the Food Street Concourse starting April 23 until May 26.

The South Dino Park features Dinos in the Mall, an exhibit of 6 larger than life dinosaurs :

Spinosaurus - the only known dino to have dwelled in water. It has six-inch-long teeth and a sail on its back with spines the size of surfboards. Spinosaurus lived about a hundred million years.

Brachiosaurus - an unusual dinosaur that had lived 155.7 million to 150.8 million years ago during the mid- to late Jurassic Period. It has a long neck which made it look like a giraffe, and its forelegs were longer than its hind legs.

Stegosaurus - a large, plant-eating dinosaur that lived during the late Jurassic Period, primarily in western North America. It was about the size of a bus and carried around two rows of bony plates along its back that made it appear even bigger.

Velociraptor - a carnivore dino, formidable on land, weighing around 300 pounds. Known as "swift seizer" it was probably one of the more intelligent dinosaurs because it had a large brain proportionate to its body size.

Tyrannosaurus rex - more commonly known as T-rex, the King of Dinosaurs was one of the largest and most fearsome carnivores of all time. Despite being scary it is the most popular dino among kids and kids-at-heart.

Dinos in the Mall showcases 6 larger than life creatures of the Paleolithic Era

Apart from the dino installation with matching trivia posted beside each, there will also be another dino that would be roaming around the area to interact with the mall goers.

Kids may also enjoy the workshop prepared at the South Dino Camp. Just go to the Event Center and present a minimum single receipt purchase of P1,500 from any establishment at the mall in exchange for a passport. Each passport entitles the kids, 4 to 12 years old; to two classes.

Grab your own Ranger Captain Passport by presenting a receipt at the Event Center

There's also a film-showing which features movies such as The Land Before Time and Jurassic Park. A glamping site is also prepared for the kids where they are free to sit, to lie down or to roll.

JOHNSON’S Baby launches Play Days 2019: Sa Laro Natututo at the Mall of Asia

Play Days 2019 is an event for the whole family to help them realize that there is so much more to playing and how learning is a vital part of the fun.


Johnson's Baby's annual Play Days program is an effort created in 2012 to bring light to the importance of play in children's learning. Year on year, Johnson’s Baby has made it their mission to make playtime more meaningful and this time, putting focus on the idea of Play to Learn (Sa Laro Natututo).

This year's run of the program was held at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall lat March 24. Play Days 2019: Sa Laro Natututo – an effort that acknowledges the importance of play and how it can benefit your children, featured different play zones at the event like the Blue Think Tub, Pink Showdance Zone, Yellow Imagiland, and Free Play Teamwork Zone truly made the learning experiences into entertaining adventures for all the wide-eyed toddlers present.


These four zones highlighted how a child can learn different skills like problem-solving, self-expression, communication, and flexibility. It was also in each play zone that guests were given various play hacks on how they could bring home the fun that they experienced in the event. With summer fast approaching, moms and dads need a hero that will keep their little ones fresh during play time. Johnson’s Powder Blossoms is the answer to keeping them smelling fresh for up to 8 hours along with Johnson’s Shiny Drops Shampoo making their hair beautifully soft and shiny. Play time continues with Johnson’s adding to the fun by launching their newest limited-edition Powder, Summer Blooms. This is the most fragrant powder that mommies and daddies will love when the summer heat comes creeping in.

“We have noticed that gadget time has replaced play time for a lot of parents and kids. However, it is actually during play time that children build many foundational life skills they need. We want to bring the fun into learning with an event that teaches parents how play time can be enjoyable and educational as well. We also made sure to give them various tips that they can do from the comfort of their own homes, so the fun does not stop with the event.” Said Senior Brand Manager for Johnson’s Baby, Aldellyn Po. Parents are encouraged to make sure that they allot enough time to play to promote cognitive, language, physical, social and emotional development.



“To a child, the world is a huge playground where they can create and imagine anything they want. What we at Johnson’s want to highlight is that playing doesn’t end at fun. It really is about learning through active play where they can gain skills like teamwork, creativity, problem solving and body coordination,” added Aldellyn Po.

Johnson’s Play Days Sa Laro Natututo is a call for all parents to recognize the importance of your little one to be outside experiencing life actively instead of being confined to a world they only see through any digital screen. Active play allows your children to learn firsthand about the ever-changing world and gives them the opportunity to have a multi-sensory understanding of the beautiful planet they live in.


Let’s join Johnson’s in this movement and see how free, active play will change your little ones and help them become the person you always dreamed for them to be. Sound off by posting a photo of yourself and your child during your happy play time moments and how Johnson’s Baby is the Presko Bango partner.

KPop group CHIC ANGEL to headline a dance festival in the Philippines this June 2019

The first Korean telenovelas aired in the Philippines in 2003. Since then, Korean Pop culture invasion in the country has become unstoppable. Filipinos don't only embrace Korean films, but Korean entertainment in almost all of its form especially the Kpop groups.

We don't only watch them on air or on mobile gadgets, we want more of them in flesh. We want to see them in live actions, we want to hear their voices louder and clearer in live concerts though we may not always understand what they say.


This is how Pinoys loved the KPop culture and in the coming days we will further be treated to more of them with the brand new group CHIC ANGEL.

CHIC ANGEL is composed of Uhee, Dayeon, Laeun, and Sia. The group was launched in 2017 and first came to the Philippines in October 2018 as guests in Aja Aja Tayo, the first Filipino-Korean variety show in TV5. Due to the warm support and friendliness of their Filipino fans, the group decided to comeback to the Philippines after the success of their Japan tour.



CHICH ANGEL's popular albums include Is Love, Ocean, and the recent Chic Summer. This May, they will be releasing another album which will once again hit the waves for sure. What's unique about CHIC ANGEL's branding in Kpop is the different music genre featured in their every album.

CHIC ANGEL, road managed in the Philippines by Istudyo ni Pipay, Co; has had series of live shows in Manila last March 21 to April 1, 2019. CHIC ANGEL : Live in Manila featured Sukkyoung, also known as "Korea's Miss Trot Singer."


On June 8, 2019, they will be back for another big show where they will headline the Circuit Makati Evolt International Dance Festival 2019, along with Filipino and International dance icons.
