Marian Rivera is no doubt every Filipina’s #lifegoals. To start, she is married to top matinee idol, Dingdong Dantes to whom she shares her adorable daughter Zia with. She holds the title of Kapuso Primetime Queen, being the only actress in television history to have played all three iconic roles of Marimar, Darna, and Dyesebel. And who can forget the fact that she has millions of loyal followers and a beauty that gets her thousands of likes for every social media post.
Marian’s Eurasian features are best complemented with her sweet smile, but her most valuable asset is really her baby soft, smooth skin. You may blame good genes for that but according to the superstar herself, keeping her skin beautiful actually takes a lot of effort, especially since she is constantly exposed to thick makeup, heavy lights, and sleepless nights. So, how does a Marian Rivera keep skin perfect despite all these?

“Sa totoo lang, ang pinaka-importante talaga sa akin eh yung pinapanatili kong strong and healthy ang skin ko so it can keep up with the demands of my family and my career. That’s why I use products that provide moisture and deep nourishment like Johnson’s® Milk+Rice™ and Milk+Oats™. I believe that when your skin is strong and healthy, it’s easy to achieve beauty,” shared Marian.
This is true according to Dr. Loverna Arcilla Suratos, MD, FPDS, a guest resource speaker in the recently concluded Johnson’s® #Dadventures Camp media event held at Dusit Thani Manila. “More than aiming for cosmetic benefits such as whitening, it’s important to choose products that can nourish skin to make it strong and healthy. Strong skin is more resilient against harsh environments that can cause dryness or even scarring, possibly putting cosmetic efforts to waste,” she said. Marian Rivera swears on using Johnson’s® Milk+Rice™ and Johnson’s® Milk+Oats™ in keeping her and Zia’s skin in tip-top condition. Johnson’s® Milk+Oats™ contain avenamethrides, a naturally-occurring compound that protects skin against irritation. Oats are also known to specialize in healing dry and sensitive skin, bringing soap-damaged skin back to its natural, healthy state. Johnson’s® Milk+Rice™, on the other hand, is fortified with 200% more vitamins that works deep within the skin to provide long-lasting moisture, improving skin smoothness, softness, and suppleness with every use.

Get strong skin that stays baby soft and smooth like Marian and Zia with JOHNSON’S® Milk+Rice and JOHNSON’S® Milk+Oats. Available in leading supermarkets, drug stores, and department stores nationwide.

We, Mommies are very particular with the health of our Kids. We make sure that they will not get dirt, bruise or wounds. We don't want them to get bitten by mosquitos. We do our best not to hurt our little ones.

But to think about it, personally, I realize that they need to experience everything as a kid. Sometimes the kids need to be dirty so that they will know about dirt and cleanliness. They need to be hurt to learn to be careful. But still we are here for them to guide and teach them in everything they do.
Recently, I attended the #Dadventures event where Johnsons presented their latest brand ambassadors, the Dantes Family. Mommy Marian Rivera, Daddy Dingdong Dantes and Baby Zia, the event was held at Dusit Thani Manila. The Johnson’s® #Dadventures Camp was an indoor spectacle complete with wooden camp accents, colorful teepees, and a picnic area where guests gathered to know more about what #Dadventures are and how parents can keep their little one’s skin strong and healthy at all times—so they’re always ready for rough play!

Mommy Marian says "PWEDE!" to Daddy Dingdong’s Rough Play with Zia at the JOHNSON'S® #Dadventures Camp. JOHNSON'S® empowers moms to now fearlessly say “PWEDE!” to #DADVENTURES with the help of Johnson’s® Milk+Rice™ and Johnson’s® Milk+Oats™ at the #Dadventures Camp headlined by Dingdong Dantes, Marian Rivera and baby Zia.
The hosts, Bettinna and Clinton Carlos, kicked off the event with a warm welcome and a brief discussion of the camp guidelines, telling moms to leave all their worries at the door and let the dads have their rough and tumble moments with the kids. “As a single mom, I was really overprotective of Gummy when she was a toddler,” Bettinna shared. “Luckily, my brothers Clinton and Alison were always there to keep the mood fun and play the happy-go-lucky father role to Gummy.”
Developmental Psychologist Tells Mom to Say “PWEDE!” to #Dadventures Johnson’s® encourages anxious moms like Bettinna to say “Pwede!” to moments of rough play. The brand lovingly refers to these activities as #Dadventures, special moments of bonding with a father-figure that contribute to a toddler’s happy, healthy development.
‘Camp Counselor’ Professor Perlita De Leon, an expert in Developmental Psychology from UP Diliman, supported this, saying, “Many local and international studies highly encourage rough play because it plays a vital role in a child’s physical, social, and cognitive development.” She cited a statistic, lifted from a global survey, that said that ‘40% of dads are told “NO” by their partners when they start engaging their toddler in rough play’.

While well-intentioned, anxious moms who deprive kids of these #dadventure moments might be doing more harm than good. According to Professor De Leon, exposure to new environments and the opportunity for play not only aids in the formation of friendships, it also boosts self-confidence. Games such as crawl racing and kiddie wrestling strengthen the muscles and aid in the development of fine and gross motor skills. Through the use of tools that encourage a bit of problem solving, cognitive functions are nurtured. She clarified that “The benefits of #dadventures can be gotten even if play is led by a brother, an uncle, even mom herself – as long as the person exhibits the same behaviors and mindset traditionally displayed by “dad”.
Strong Skin Protects Against Scratches and Scrapes from Rough Play To equip moms with the knowledge to ensure that #dadventures are safe, Dr. Loverna Arcilla Suratos, MD, FPDS emphasized that it is important for toddlers to have strong and healthy skin. “The skin is your first layer of defense against environmental irritants. Young skin – even up to age 7 – is still developing. In fact, a child’s skin is 30% thinner than an adult’s and therefore still weak and prone to irritation, scrapes, and scratches. By keeping your little one’s skin nourished, you can help it become stronger, more elastic, and more resilient to scrapes and scratches,” Dr. Suratos shared. She recommended to resist the temptation to switch to family bar soaps that can further weaken skin and to continue use of mild liquid washes and lotions that contain powerful nourishing ingredients. Oats, for example, contain avenamethrides, a naturally-occurring compound that has properties that protect against skin irritation. Products that contain milk and rice are often fortified with vitamins that help keep skin not just soft and smooth, but, more importantly, strong, healthy, and ready for #dadventures.

Coming from Dr. Suratos’ recommendations on what ingredients to look for in a skincare product, Ria Gatmaitan, Senior Brand Manager of Johnson’s®, revealed that the Johnson’s® Milk range contains precisely those ingredients Dr. Suratos recommended, citing the Milk Proteins sourced from European cows, Colloidal Oats, and Rice Extracts found in each formula.

Johnson’s® Milk+Rice™ is fortified with 200% more skin vitamins and Johnson’s® Milk+Oats™ locks in moisture for up to 24 hours so that skin feels strong and healthy after just one use. She ended her talk by encouraging moms to be fearless when it comes to allowing rough play and to say “PWEDE!” to #Dadventures with the help of JOHNSON’S® Milk+Rice™ and Milk+Oats™



The Dantes Family Go On #Dadventures To demonstrate the efficacy of JOHNSON’S® Milk range, celebrity mom Marian Rivera applied these products to Zia’s skin before visiting the different camp stations. “JOHNSON’S® baby talaga ako ever since! I use it on myself and on Zia kasi tried-and-tested brand na talaga siya at palaging may bago.”

Dingdong Dantes and Zia were the first pair who tried the various #Dadventure Camp activities before the rest of the guests followed. Dingdong proudly said that the kinds of tasks they accomplished at each station are similar to how they play at home. “Pagod but it’s very worth it. I truly support #Dadventures, for I know it will make Zia more sociable and bonded with me, just like how my dad and I were,” shared Dingdong.



Superstar Marian Rivera was of course present all throughout the event to cheer for her husband and kid. Asked how Marian felt while Dingdong and Zia were playing, she said, “Sa totoo lang, I’m the stricter parent and hindi talaga ako masyado pumapayag sa rough play noon. But knowing Zia’s skin is protected with Johnson’s®, aba, pwedeng-pwede na talaga mag-#Dadventures ang mag-ama ko. Dati kala ko mild lang or nakaka-ganda lang ang Johnson’s Milk, ‘yon pala nakakapagpatibay din siya ng skin.”

I will definitely let my fears thrown away at the door so that my kids will do the rough play and enjoy the time that they are still a kid. For sure I will use the new products of Johnsons, Well just like the others, the members of our family is also a Johnsons Baby.


Take it from the Dantes family and say “PWEDE!” to #Dadventures with Johnson’s® Milk+Rice™ and Johnson’s® Milk+Oats™ baby bath and baby lotion. Available in leading supermarkets, drug stores, and department stores nationwide.

Sleep has always been one of the biggest concerns for first-time parents. We witness first-hand the effects of what a missed nap or a delayed bedtime can do to our babies, and with so much information to process, we can’t blame ourselves if we get caught up in bedtime myths.

Here are a few common bedtime myths that you may not have known could be solved by trouble-free remedies.

1. “My baby is just a poor sleeper. There’s nothing I can do about it.”

There is no such thing as a ‘poor sleeper’. The trick is to help your baby get more familiar with bedtime. According to several sleep experts, one of the most effective ways is by establishing a bedtime routine.

JOHNSON'S®: recently came out with the first scientifically-proven bedtime routine, which consists of three simple steps: Bath, Massage, and Quiet Time. When used with the official line of Bedtime™ products—made with NATURALCALM™ aromas and a NO MORE TEARS® Mildness® formula—it guarantees your baby an additional one hour of sleep, after just seven days.

2. “Babies wake because they are breast fed.”

Plenty of factors could affect a baby’s sudden waking in the night—it could be caused by a genetic predisposition, developmental age, environment, or even a previously introduced sleep habits. Avoid feeding and rocking your baby before putting him/her to sleep because this may also enforce an unnecessary habit that he/she may carry with him/her when growing up.

3. “If I get my baby tired enough, she’ll be able to sleep through the night.”

Babies actually benefit from sleep more than we think, so it’s important that we don’t deprive them of these by trying to desperately get them to sleep. According to Dr. Agnes Tirona-Remulla, ENT-Head and Neck Specialist, who sub-specializes in Sleep Medicine and Surgery, babies gain three things from sleep: physical, emotional, and cognitive development—stronger immune system, proper weight regulation, improved social skills and mother-child interaction, enhanced learning and memory.

4. “Don’t give your baby a bath at night! He’ll catch a cold.”

This is probably one of the most common bedtime myths Filipino moms hear; but contrary to what our elders say, giving our babies a bath in the evening is actually a good way of preparing them for sleep.

The warm bath loosens up their muscles and helps them relax, signaling them that it’s almost time to go off to dream land.

5. “I’ll wait until my baby is a toddler to help him sleep better.”

It’s no easy task to teach your baby how to sleep, so why delay it when you can start early? As Dr. Remulla said, the best thing about establishing a bedtime routine is that it instills good sleeping habits, as well, as a good sleep schedule. This in turn, guarantees both you and your child a longer, more restful slumber in the long-run. For more tips on how to better sleep train your baby, you can visit www.johnsonsbaby.com.

When it comes to raising a baby, a mother’s priority has always been about ensuring their health and development. For working moms especially, the ultimate challenge is getting the right amount of sleep for both her and her baby.

What with busy schedules and always being on-the-go, pioneer in the science of baby development, JOHNSON’S®, has developed a new mobile application perfect for all working parents. Featuring a set of proprietary and customized tools, the app is designed to be the ultimate sleep expert-partner for parents.

Sleep Analysis: This feature provides parents with an analysis on a baby’s sleeping habits and provides answers to some of the most pressing questions parents may have. The results will come in according to the following sub-categories: General, Falling Asleep, Sleep Routine, Sleep Duration, Night Wakings, and Family and will likewise generate customized recommendations.
Ambient Sounds: Research has shown that ambient sounds can help induce sleep (for adults, just as well, as babies). With this feature, parents can play DJ and mix up to four ambient sounds at one time; just the way your baby likes for bedtime.
Lullaby Playlist: JOHNSON’S® Bedtime™ also boasts of a wide variety of lullabies that parents can pick from! You can even set a playlist of up to four songs with no interruptions or advertisements. And the best part? The new lullabies have "all the science of sound embedded” so there will be no more second-guessing.
Ask an Expert: Parents also have direct access to JOHNSON’S® sleep experts who can answer all other sleep-related questions (not already addressed by the Sleep Analysis feature).

“Sleep is very critical to a baby’s growth and development. That is why we created the first clinically proven routine together with an app backed by science, to lead to better nights for both moms and their babies,” shares Bessie Campillo, JOHNSON’S® Franchise Marketing Manager.
Sleep Medicine and Surgery Specialist Dr. Agnes Tirona-Remulla also shares, “One of the best ways you can get your baby to sleep is through a bedtime routine. When you commit to a bedtime routine, like the three simple steps of a bath, massage, and quiet time, you will see progress in your baby’s sleeping patterns and overall demeanor.”

She also emphasized that with better sleep, babies can enjoy a stronger immune system, improved social skills, and increased abilities in learning and memory.

Alongside the release of the Baby Sleep App, JOHNSON’S® also launched the first scientifically-proven bedtime routine, guaranteed to help you and your baby to sleep for an additional one hour in just seven days. More details about the routine can be found in the new app’s features.

Mothers all around the world share a similar challenge: getting their babies to sleep and stay sleeping. Studies indicate that 20-30 percent of babies experience sleep problems, including difficulty in falling asleep and sleeping through the night. This does not only cause problems for mothers, but also impacts the healthy development of their babies.

Research shows that establishing a routine is one of the most important things parents can do to help their baby sleep better through the night. Recognising this, JOHNSON’S® has launched a clinically proven Bedtime Routine that engages the senses and helps baby fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer in 3 steps:

Bath: A bedtime routine, including a warm bath with Johnson’s bedtime™ baby bath, helps baby know its time to sleep.

Massage: A massage, using Johnson’s bedtime™ baby lotion can help baby sleep better. Familiar and pleasant scents can make baby feel happy and relaxed and lead to better well-being by enhancing baby’s mood and emotions.

Quiet Time: The moments before bed are an opportunity to help baby wind down through quiet time activities, such as reading, singing or listening to music. Complement quiet time with Johnson’s bedtime baby powder to freshen and keep baby feeling comfortable while sleeping.

Complement the Johnson’s® 3-Step Bedtime ™ routine with Johnson’s® bedtime baby oil to warm baby before bath.

Benefits of a Bedtime Routine on Healthy Baby Development

As a pioneer in the science of baby sleep, JOHNSON’S® understands the importance of sleep for happy, healthy baby development. “Sleep is very critical to a baby’s growth and development. That is why we created the first routine clinically proven to lead to better nights for both moms and their babies,” shared Bessie Campillo, JOHNSON’S® Franchise Marketing Manager.

“Every one of our bedtime products is backed by science and enriched with a special blend of gentle and calming aromas designed to enhance the bedtime routine for both baby and mom. We know that babies grow physically, cognitively and emotionally with better sleep and if moms and their babies don't sleep well, then their interaction with each other is not optimal, which also has its own effects,” she added.

“Research shows that sleep rhythms begin to develop at around 6 weeks, and most babies are developmentally capable of regular sleep-wake cycles by 3 to 6 months. As your baby begins to understand the difference between night and day, it’s the perfect time to help improve his sleep routine,” shared Dr. Agnes Tirona- Remulla, a specialist in ENT-Head and Neck Surgery, subspecializing in Sleep Medicine and Surgery.

“Proper sleep also impacts the immune system and is critical in weight regulation, promotes cognitive development by building memory and supports learning, and helps improve social skills, among many other benefts Dr. Remulla added.

“JOHNSON’S® has always been focused on maximizing daily moments for both parents and their babies, to stimulate baby’s senses and provide parents an opportunity to nurture baby’s ability to learn, think, love and grow,” shares Mrs. Campillo. “A nightly ritual is notonly an ideal opportunity for bonding, but is equally critical to promoting the cognitive, physical and emotional growth of babies,” she adds.

It was Easter Sunday!  We woke up early, as in early, because we attended a mass in our church to celebrate Easter Sunday. After the service, the kids hurriedly looked and found some easter eggs,
unfortunately, Maki didn't want to join with the other kids, there was a little tantrum on his part, because it was not his usual to wake up early.

We went home to take some rest, because we need to have a strength for our next event.

THE JOHNSONS' PLAY DAYS.


As we reached the place, Maki still on the sort of “little tantrums”. We ate first, then Maki didn't want to eat a lot. Oops, Gelo, my youngest son was with us also plus my mother.


The sort of “little tantrums” of my eldest son, Maki, changed just like a lightning, why? Well, his mood changed from “little tantrums” to being just a kid. He was amazed when he found out whose at the back of our table, eating also, none other than....e-boy...bugoy...the kid featured in the teleserye e-boy. He is always watching that every night, so he was happy to see bugoy, then in a just a little time, cha cha arrived, the little girl featured in going bulilit. The excitement was on maki's face.


From that moment, Maki started to play, jump while we did some walk to reached the play bus, instead of walking Maki did jumped. When he saw the play bus, Maki's eye stared at it and he did not mind mr. sun's extreme heat. After a few long stare at the bus, he just asked me, mommy I want to ride on that play bus, I told him, the next time we see the play bus we will try it.



Then we went back on the main venue ground and continued with the program proper.   Lot of kids played all day, I just wondered, what will happen if Maki plays the whole day.  I am thankful that I have Johnsons with me to give a freshness feeling to lighten or ease the amoy araw and the bungang araw, so Maki can play buong araw.

Aside Maki, Gelo my youngest son, also look at the kids playing under the heat of the sun, thankful that I put Johnsons' sunblock with spf 15 that could protect him.



We ended our Easter Sunday with a smile on our face.  From now on, Maki can play the whole day, while Gelo can go out even on a sunny day because they are both protected with the Johnsons' products.

'Till next post on our bonding moment...

Everything around us does evolve and as the usual saying the only constant is change. That's what Johnson and Johnson thinks about us, the new generation Moms. We do they change in order to adapt for what ever situation that we're into.


A lot of Moms are very much glad that Johnson's are recognizing the work of the present Moms.  Aside from that they were also able to provide needs of Moms for their kids.  It was an evidence when Johnson and Johnson's held their event at Enderun in Venice Piazza at McKinley Hill.  It was hosted by one of the lovely mother actress, Mrs. Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan.


It was discussed in the event about this new name for mothers, it was the New Generation Moms.  It is further explained as the guest speakers provide their insights.




Here's what Johnson's say about it...


Of course New Generation Moms need something to match up with the evolution and Johnson's have innovated their list called the New Generation Care Products which are provided to assist us, New Generation Moms.
