7 LESSONS your Kids can Learn from DARNA, CAPTAIN BARBELL, AND LASTIKMAN in iWANTTFC’S “HERO CITY KIDS FORCE”

Having a hard time getting your kids to eat veggies or pick up their toys after playtime? Don't fret because Darna, Captain Barbell, and Lastikman are here to save the day! The trio of kiddie superheroes is featured in iWantTFC's Filipino animated series "Hero City Kids Force,” which will keep kids engaged while learning positive values, acts of kindness, and important life lessons along the way.

The show has everything you and your kid could ask for: lovable characters, fun-filled missions, engaging visuals, and a catchy theme song.

Here are some valuable lessons your kids can pick up from the show:

1. Cleaning up after yourself

Cleaning up your own mess, such as putting back your toys and washing your own dishes, is not just for your own good and for maintaining an orderly environment. It is also out of respect for the people you live with – this is one of the lessons that Tita Joyce, the superheroes' guardian, puts emphasis on. 

For the first mission in the series, evil scientist Dr. Sternberg creates a slimy garbage monster to trash Hero City as the superheroes band together to clean up his mess. As they eliminate the evil creature and restore cleanliness in Hero City, the superheroes teach the citizens about tidiness and to avoid littering to maintain a spick and span environment. Darna also tells Lastikman that he should tidy up his own mess because it is important to be a good role model by leading by example.


2. Eating healthy 

The superheroes' playmates, Maya, Andres, and Nono McCoolit, despise eating vegetables and would make up any excuse just to avoid eating them. But their perception of vegetables changes when they learn that this is the “secret weapon” that keeps Darna, Captain Barbell, and Lastikman strong and full of energy to take down their enemies. Thanks to the superheroes, the McCoolits learn that eating healthy has a lot of benefits for their bodies and this will help them in getting the sufficient nutrients they need in order to have a productive day.


3. Being careful with bad jokes and pranks

Having fun isn’t bad at all but we should also learn that it has to have its limits. Darna, Captain Barbell, and Lastikman fall victim to one of the McCoolits outrageous pranks, which causes chaos in Hero City. To make things worse, Dr. Sternberg and his sidekick Cyborgana create a gun blaster filled with bad jokes in order to cause fights among the citizens. 

As the superheroes resolve the issue, they teach the McCoolits that bad jokes and pranks have their consequences because they could result in harmful actions and fights in relationships. In the end, Darna reminds everyone to be mindful of their jokes because it could hurt the feelings of others and it is equally important to apologize when needed. 


4. Proper use of gadgets

Danger looms in Hero City when Cyborgana unleashes an evil hypnotic game app that lures the citizens to be unproductive and glued to their gadgets the whole day. With the help of Tita Joyce, the superheroes immediately realize the negative effects of the excessive use of electronics. Even if gaming apps offer entertainment, the superheroes remind the citizens that not all apps are safe and that we should still prioritize our responsibilities and only allot a reasonable amount of time for playing gaming apps.


5. Being responsible pet owners

An evil petnapping incident caused by Dr. Sternberg makes Lastikman realize a very important lesson as the owner of his lovable dog Walastik - that being a pet owner comes with a lot of responsibility. Walastik causes trouble in the superheroes’ household because of his unruly behavior when he chews on all of their belongings and eats all the food. Lastikman realizes that taking care of Walastik means that he is also in-charge of training him on the dos and don’ts as a dog and making sure that he is always healthy and has good hygiene. Darna and Captain Barbell also teach Lastikman that pets also deserve love and affection just like how humans interact with each other. 


6. Teamwork and friendship

Despite having their own unique powers and strengths, Darna, Captain Barbell, and Lastikman rely heavily on their teamwork and tight bond to take down their enemies. Lastikman, who is the youngest member in the group, loves to play around and have fun but with Darna and Captain Barbell’s words of encouragement, he learns how to strike a balance between playtime and serious activities. Because they care for one another and value their friendship, the three superheroes never fail to remind each other to be self-confident, to never give up, and to have trust in one another in order to achieve their goals.


7. Responsibility and following rules

As the guardian of the superheroes and of the McCoolits, Tita Joyce always puts an emphasis on being responsible not just for oneself but for the entire group as well. In the show’s episodes, it is evident that Tita Joyce wants the kids to practice proper discipline in the way they go about their day-to-day activities. The superheroes, meanwhile, learn how to follow the rules and at the same time, respect those who are older than them.

Slay All Day For Less with Ever Bilena, get up to 50% off only at Shopee Beauty

Slay, literarily means to kill, but when it is used for beauty or fashion the meaning becomes positive. In slang it means to greatly impress or amuse someone. Everyday, we would love to slay with our looks. It gives us enough confidence to face everyone with pride, it gives us enough energy and power to accomplish what we need to each day. 

Apart from being fashionable, one way to slay the day is thru our make-up. Admit it, make -up is an important part of our daily life especially women who grinds from sun up to sun down. Make-up enhances one's appearance. It is used to conceal blemishes, enhance one's natural features (such as the eyebrows and eyelashes), add color to a person's face and can be used to change the appearance of the face entirely to resemble a different person, creature or object. Socially, makeup not only increases perceived attractiveness, but it can also increase women's confidence. 

Using make up does not mean being afraid of one's true appearance, it just means enhancing one's look because let's accept the reality that our society will look at first on the appearance of a person, personality, traits and breeding comes next only.

PH’s 1st Stevia grower-manufacturer launches No Sugar iced tea mixes

GIDC, The Stevia Company, and maker of Glorious products, is bringing no sugar iced tea mixes in major supermarkets and groceries! Consumers who cuts on sugar in their diet can now enjoy low calorie, no sugar iced tea mixes that are sweetened by natural alternatives.

Glorious Blend Lemon Iced Tea, Red Tea and Cucumber Lemonade that are sweetened iced tea mixes without sugar are especially produced for people who are cutting and avoiding food and drinks with too much sugar.

Glorious Blend iced tea mixes are naturally sweetened with stevia. The mixes are made from premium ingredients that include mixed berries, real black tea leaves, lemon, and real cucumber. It is low in calorie and loaded with vitamin C.

“Stevia has been regarded as a safe and healthy sugar substitute. It can sweeten foods, and it has several health benefits, including decreased calorie intake, lower blood sugar levels, and less risk of cavities,” said Maura De Leon, the woman behind GIDC, the country’s first FDA registered stevia grower and manufacturer. 

Before, stevia was restricted to the health food market without any FDA approval. However, it is now widely used as a natural substitute for artificial sweeteners in many products. 

While it has zero calories, stevia is 200 times sweeter than refined sugar and does not affect blood sugar. It is a popular option for people looking to lose weight but who want to reduce their sugar intake. 

Stevia is an herb that has been grown in tropical climates for centuries. It is a small bushy plant that belongs to the sunflower family and grows in Paraguay and Brazil, but it can be quickly grown elsewhere. For centuries, the people of Paraguay add them to their foods as sweeteners, and countries like Korea, Brazil, China, Japan, and South America, have long used stevia.

Stevia is now being widely used as a natural sweetener in various food preparations.

People who have diabetes can benefit from stevia. Choosing pure stevia extract can help maintain normal blood sugar levels and should be used in moderation. Stevia can also help cut down added sugar consumption, which can be beneficial for children. High sugar intake in children could lead to heart disease due to reconstructing triglyceride and cholesterol levels, contributing to children's weight gain. Substituting added sugar for stevia can minimize these risks. At the same time, moderate consumption of foods with stevia and other sweeteners can prevent adverse side effects and promote overall health.

Stevia products such as iced tea mixes, healthy coffees and chocolate beverages manufactured by Glorious, are approved safe by the Food and Drug Association (FDA) for pregnant women or people who have diabetes. 

Incidentally, all Glorious Blend beverages -- from the 3in1 coffee, 4in1 Malunggay mix, 5in1 Brown Rice Coffee, 7-in-1 Mangosteen-Malunggay Coffee, 7in1Native Cacao Choco and Maxitrim with L-Carnitine, use Stevia which has no calories, no carbohydrates, and zero glycemic index. All of their instant drinks will keep you alert and energized throughout the day.

Johnson & Johnson's Batang Bida program supports DOH advocacy on hygiene and physical play

As the leading brand for mothers and babies around the world, JOHNSON’S® Baby believes in the value of providing the best care for babies and children at every age and stage through personal care products developed to suit every child’s needs.

Through the years, one of JOHNSON’S® main advocacies has been learning through play. The brand firmly believes in the importance of play to every child’s physical and emotional development. This is why in 2012, JOHNSON’S® launched their legacy campaign Play Days and the Di Lang Laro ang Laro advocacy, together with the Department of Education and NGO Play Pilipinas, to create greater awareness around the benefits of physical play and encourage children to go play outdoors and get away from their “screens” and gadgets. This advocacy went through several iterations in the years that followed, to include Play Days: Play for Real in 2015; Di Lang Laro Ang Laro in 2018 emphasizing joint active play between parents and their kids as a critical part of every child’s holistic development; and “Sa Laro Natututo” in 2019, which empowered parents with home-based activities to push the idea of learning through play. These Play Days campaigns and their narratives are amplified through a strategic mix of on-ground events, social media and editorials.

Says Senior marketing manager, Crismer Tiria: “Our company has always believed in the power of play and the positive impact that physical play brings to a child’s development. Play needs to be better supported at home which is why JOHNSON’S® is working to fully empower our moms with the knowledge, tools, and products to make play significant for their children.”

In 2020, the JOHNSON’S® Batang Bida Campaign was launched to communicate and demonstrate how physical play was still possible despite necessary health restrictions through the practice of proper hygiene. The campaign was made possible through a partnership between Johnson and Johnson Philippines, Inc. and the Department of Health’s (DOH) BIDA Program, which worked with local public healthcare workers to reach out and educate more moms on the importance of proper hygiene for kids.

Reaching 31,600 households and 500 sari-sari stores in NCR and Davao even through quarantine, the Batang Bida house-to-house caravan was a huge success.

Now on its second year, JOHNSON’S® continues to advocate proper hygiene, health, and playful learning by continuing to support the Department of Health’s (DOH) BIDA Health Program, which aims to provide Filipinos access to credible health information. The JOHNSON'S® Batang Bida Caravan promotes the adoption of proactive health habits to keep the family 100% protected through practicing the 3K’s– Kalinisan, Kalusugan at Karunungan (hygiene, health, and knowledge). Here, play is a key element not only in every child’s learning but also in the continued education of the family in the importance of good hygiene habits, good nutrition, and the important role of physical play for growing kids.

The Batang Bida Caravan is on track to reaching 100,000 households in Philippine key cities by the end of 2021, with 56,000 households across four cities reached by the end of August.

Ikea Ph online now store operates 24/7

Ahead of its Pasay store opening in Q4 this year, IKEA officially opens its online store to Filipino consumers beginning Nov. 3, operating 24/7.

“After several weeks of learning from our test-run, we are glad that we are now accessible to more Filipinos,” said Georg Platzer, Store Manager of IKEA Pasay City. “We are very excited to be part of the lives of the many people in the Philippines and share in their dreams of a better life at home.”

Last September, IKEA went on a test-run for its online store, where it opened up online shopping with limited capacity. This was to test all operational and technical processes and ensure an enjoyable and hassle-free online shopping experience.


Best buys online

IKEA’s most popular items during the test run came from the home storage and work space categories. Additionally, lower priced home décor items like the KUPONG Alarm clock (PHP90), FEJKA Artificial potted plant (PHP290), and BONDIS Wall clock (PHP590) were some of the most added to cart items online.

Children’s items also remained popular among online visitors and shoppers, with items like the small KRAMIG Soft Toy (PHP200), the functional TROFAST Storage box (PHP150), and the fully-stocked DUKTIG Play kitchen (PHP5,990) getting added to online carts.

Ready to add to cart?

To shop online, customers must first create an IKEA website account, which is different from their IKEA Family membership information. After that, online shoppers can choose what products they want, add to cart, and then proceed to check out. IKEA accepts payments via major credit cards, GCash, and installment via BDO.


Delivery options

IKEA offers three delivery options: truck, parcel, and click and collect. Orders that do not exceed more than 30 kg in weight and 1.8 meters in length and height will be considered as parcel orders. If an order exceeds more than 30 kg, and the height and length are more than 1.8 meters, it will be considered as a truck delivery order. Online shoppers can also choose to pick up their orders in select collection points

Truck delivery orders are currently limited to Metro Manila only while parcel deliveries extend to the greater Metro Manila area including: Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, parts of Quezon (up to Lucena), Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Bataan, and Subic.

IKEA Family

To make the most out of the IKEA shopping experience, Platzer urged shoppers to sign up for IKEA Family to begin earning points from their purchases. This also sets them up to enjoy in-store only perks once the Pasay City store opens later this year. To date, there are over 221K IKEA Family Members. Sign up to IKEA Family here.
