When we were young, our Mom was whom we base our world around. But back then, when we could not really fathom that our Moms are a force for good to be reckoned with. The things they do on a day-to-day basis make the world go round, and so much would not get done if not for them.

Moms these days wear several hats, taking on many roles; and at times expectation can be high to have it all. Between businesses and parenting, moms have to balance so much, so here are two moms who have some of it figured out: Iya Villania- Arellano and Marian Rivera - Dantes!

Iya Villania - Arellano is an actress, singer, model, and TV presenter (what can’t she do?) Known for her work as a VJ on Myx, this multi-talented multi-hyphenate is a mother of four. She somehow finds time to be a parent on top of everything she does.

Iya gets her strength from her children. She says: these days, their opinions matter more than anything else. he wants her children and her children’s children to experience Mother Earth in all her beauty. That’s why she tirelessly pursue sustainable living so her children can live in a better world. In her advocacy, she found a reliable and like-minded partner in Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation. The company has launched in the market the first-ever seasoning product in paper packaging, the AJI-NO-MOTO® Umami Seasoning 45g which is made from natural and renewable paper material that can be planted, grown, harvested, and replanted

She believes that women’s month is more than just about celebrating women’s beauty and strength, but also their voices. She is using hers to build a better world for her children. She’s not the only one who is giving her all for what she believes in. Another mom to highlight is Marian Rivera-Dantes!

Marian Rivera-Dantes needs little introduction. This celebrity powerhouse wows us again and again with acting, modeling, hosting, and running a business! On top of all that, she’s even a mother of two. Becoming a mom has made Marian hyper-aware of her children’s health, and she knows that other women all over the Philippines are just as concerned about their children.

She is big on education and explaining. She gently and patiently includes her own kids in her cooking. She talks to them about how to incorporate veggies rather than fighting with them about it. According to her, it’s not just about telling them not to eat sweets; it's about incorporating them into the cooking. We should be teaching them what ingredients are for and how flavors interact. She’s been involved with nutrition education advocacy, and she lives it every day. She and Zia leads the “I Love Veggie-Licious” campaign introducing new era of cooking for kids to enjoy vegetables made delicious with Aji-Ginisa® Flavor Seasoning Mix.

Both these women are a shining example of creating a positive impact with their passion and influence, and Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation has been a long-time partner of these two Moms as “Eat Well, Live Well” ambassadors.

They are a powerful force with platforms to reach millions, and they use that to do as much good as they can, not just for themselves but for the children who will take over after us.

Marian and Iya both understand what Mom used to make. It’s not just the dishes that make us feel comfortable; it's not just the lessons she taught us. It’s also the change moms make in the world. Moms make change by teaching us how to be good citizens and they start by modeling how to live well, and eat well.

Let’s celebrate women this women’s month, not just the literal moms but all the dog moms and the aunties and all women. Let’s join them in making a change and making the world better, everyone doing their part. Marian and Iya are doing theirs, what can you do?

One of the biggest joys of being a mom is being able to whip up delicious, nutritious meals that delight every member of the family. As the world celebrates Women’s Month, Mega Prime Quality canned vegetable line is bringing a wider and more exciting array of products that will not only satisfy everyone, but will also help turn moms into savvy chefs and homemakers.

Mega Prime Quality introduced its initial line of easy-open canned vegetables including Whole Mushrooms, Pieces and Stems Mushrooms, Whole Kernel Corn, Cream Style Corn, Green Peas in 2016. Since then, it has expanded its products to Garbanzos, and canned fruits and canned sweet preserves: fruit cocktail, peach halves and nata de coco. Each can of Mega Prime contains ingredients that are meticulously harvested and processed to preserve the authenticity of their taste and flavor. Whether you’re making a quick dinner for your tired kids after a full day at school, or creating a special dessert that will surely get the little ones excited, you can depend on Mega Prime to provide you with the quality ingredients you need. Mega Prime’s products are a testament to Mega Global Corporation’s commitment to offer only innovative, high quality, and affordable products to Filipino families.
To let more mothers know about Mega Prime’s new offerings, Marian Rivera Dantes, previous endorser of Mega Mushroom and Corn and the epitome of a modern, successful mom, has been named as Mega Prime brand ambassador once again, this time representing the entire Mega Prime Canned Vegetables and Fruits line.

As the Mega Prime ambassador, Marian will also be the first-ever member of the Prime Mom Club, an exclusive social community of moms who understand the needs of start-up moms and help them become successful homemakers through relevant and meaningful activities and knowledge-sharing. Prime Mom Club aims to make the lives of homemakers much easier by helping them whip up great meals by providing premium ingredients that can transform simple dishes into spectacular ones using Mega Prime products.

In addition, Prime Moms enjoy a host of privileges, such as the opportunity to be part of Mega Prime Exclusive events, a Special Prime Mom Club ID, a monthly newsletter compiling exciting recipes and many chances to receive special gift items and products from Mega Prime. Prime moms will also be invited to join regular get-togethers where they can discuss relevant and timely home-making topics and listen to seasoned speakers and field experts to discuss a variety of topics that moms would find useful.
The Prime Mom Club is open to all moms aged 25-35 years old who want to learn recipes, tips, and the like, while being able to connect with like-minded moms. Sign-ups may be done online or on-ground during its various activities and events.
“Marian is the perfect example of a prime mom – she is family-oriented, inherently smart, always resourceful and above all, endowed with a beautiful soul. She knows how to juggle the demands of her chosen career and raising a loving family – attributes which she has clearly shown as a brand endorser of Mega Prime. As we celebrate Women’s Month, we would like to inspire mothers to emulate Marian’s example by partnering with her again as we launch the Prime Mom Club. In so doing, we hope to be a partner of mothers as they prepare delicious, nutritious meals for their families,” says Marvin Tiu Lim, VP for Sales and Marketing of Mega Global Corporation.
“Sobrang excited ako na kasama ako sa Prime Mom Club. For me kasi, it’s important for us first time moms to connect, share our experiences and learn from each other. Gusto kong i-share yung mga alam ko lalo na sa kusina at masaya kasing mag-try ng recipes na nagwork for other mommies. I really hope na madaming mommies ang sumali sa Prime Mom club,” says Marian.

With Prime Mom Club and Mega Prime’s new products, whipping up nutritious, great tasting meals for the family has become quick, easy, and fun.

Marian Rivera-Dantes is used to playing different characters: Primetime Queen, recording artist, brand ambassador, style icon, and philanthropist. But her favorite roles by far have been those behind the camera: as wife to Dingdong and mom to Baby Zia.

As a modern homemaker, who manages her time between work and family, Marian has found comfort in cooking as one of the best ways to make her family feel loved and to improve her culinary skills. On her social media pages, the Kapuso actress has posted some of her own culinary creations that range from baby food for little Zia, stews, soups, and veggies. And on days when Marian is short on time, stir-fry dishes have become her go-to choices for easy, yummy meals.

Topping her stir-fry list are Chopsuey and Fried Rice made with AJI-GINISA® Flavor Seasoning Mix, as seen in the seasoning’s two new TVCs which began airing last June 4, 2017. In both versions, Marian dances and sings to the tune of her hit song, “Sabay-sabay Tayo,’ while she adds AJI-GINISA® to each dish to make them more delicious and “Garantisadong Ginisarap.”

Like Marian, you can also whip up “Garantisadong Ginisarap” dishes – even non-vegetable ones – by adding a touch of AJI-GINISA® to your favorite stir-fry recipes.
