Have you noticed the commercial of Surf Powder regarding their promo. According to surf, you can exchange the sachet of surf into 25 free texts load to all Cebuana Lhuillier outlet. Yes, it is the Sachet Recovery Program.

Last week I attended the event about the Building Blocks for Change Media Launch with the three of the biggest brands in the Philippines namely Unilever through Surf with its partners Smart Communications and Cebuana Lhullier.


During the event there was a demonstration on how the sachets are shredded into pieces.  Then the shredded sachet will be included and combined in the process of creating a Hollow blocks which will be use for building schools and other useful item.


The three companies revealed that the sachets collected from the program's Fiesta ng Surfresa promo were converted into 30,000 cement pavers and donated to 30 beneficiary public schools nationwide.  These includes the schools of Ilaya Elementary School in Tanay, Rizal; Dualtech center in Canlubang, Laguna, Candau-ay Elementary School in Dumaguete; and Balulang National High School in Cagayan de Oro.

This is really an amazing making the three companies combine their effort to have a greener living.  Not just to help those schools by providing useful items but also saving the environment plus of course the 25 free texts credits in exchange of empty Surf sachets which can be of very much help in emergency cases.


According to Mr. Orlando B. Vea, Smart co-founder and Chief Wireless Advisor, the Building Blocks for Change created a very meaningful action. "We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this Unilever initiative, through the use of Smart SMS service as a means to reward customer's participation in a worthwhile cause."

"Not only does the Sachet Recovery Program address our challenges on waste, it also encourages Filipinos to take a positive action to have healthier surroundings", said Cebuana Lhuillier President and CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier.


"Each Filipino can be a building block for positive change", said Unilever Philippines Chairman and CEO Peter Cowan. "This is only the beginning of our campaign for cleaner, greener living".  Launched in 2012, the Sachet Recovery Program is just one of the various projects of Unilever Philippines under the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan, a global campaign which aims to reduce the company's environmental footprint while growing its business.

Imagine mommies, almost 15,000 sachets or 15 kilos of sachets are equivalent to one chair which is explained by Mr. Chito Macapagal, the Senior Officer of Unilever.  So, those who wants to exchange their empty Surf sachets into free text, you are helping also the different beneficiaries of this program. Simple things yet big impact for better development of our environment.

One of the world's leading suppliers of food, home and personal care products, the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan has three key targets that it aims to achieve by 2020:
1. Help more than a billion people improve their health and wellbeing
2. Halve the environmental footprint of its products
3. source 100% raw materials sustainably.

So let us involve ourselves in this advocacy!

For moms who's always on look for great bargains in Divisoria this application is just right for you.

Manila, Philippines (September 6, 2013)– From this day onward, anyone can snatch the best deals in Manila's famous market place with the help of an app – and without worries of getting lost.

Divisoria Guide App for iOS, an application created by young Filipino entrepreneur from Palawan province, John Christian Yayenwill be available for download starting 5pm on Friday, September 6.


The app, which will be sold at $2.99 or around P130 at the App Store is the best would-be-mobile-essential for new and aspiring entrepreneurs, and bargain hunters as they explore the country’s biggest marketplace for bargains.

Divisoria Guide App’smain feature is the offline map that covers all the streets in the crowd-drawing Divisoriamarket in Manila. Notes and tips on how to score a deal as well as what street merchandises to buy were also featured in the app.


As someone who already got lost in the crowded Manila area several times before, Yayen said he decided to work on the App not only to help himself but also other small business owners and ordinary consumers who might be interested to shop at Divisoria but are hesitant to do so for they have no idea where to go,not to mention the fact they are very concerned with their safety.

The 24 year-old BS Nursing graduate of the University of Santo Tomas added,“Divisoria Guide is the perfect appfor everyone who would dare to visit that part of Manila especially nowadays that even search engine giant, Google has very limited information about it.”


Yayen said locals and even the Chinese businessmen who frequent the area are not even that familiar with the places that he just discovered while doing his research for this app. His almost one year of hard work made him realize that Divisoria has a lot of things to offer – from the basic commodities at very low prices that attract local and foreigners alike to as huge as the Filipino culture and history.

With this app, mobile app users can now access great information in just a click of a keypad.

With plenty of information on establishments, products, and other useful utilities, the app would help users in many ways, which include saving a lot of their time, money and effort.

Indeed, there's no better way to explore Divisoria than by having this reliable app on one's iOS device.

AXE Apollo Space Academy sets its goal to choose Pinoys who will join for the US Space Camp training.  400 men were selected out of 20K plus men who tried their luck with the online selection.  These men will strive and battle to be the last two winners will be sent off to train at the international AXE Apollo Space camp in the U.S. and with a possibility of being the First Filipino into Space.


Justin, my brother, was able to witnessed the battle of these men as they all undergone with different challenges to test their strength, their will, and of course their guts.  For these 400 men they are there to perhaps test themselves for how long they can last or perhaps win as well.


The whole day went on with a rigorous test of physical fitness as these men undergone a military-inspired obstacle course and with the last challenge with "the last hero standing" and afterwards two men were declared as the winners.   Mario Mendoza Jr. and Evan Rey Datuin were the declared winners of the Axe Apollo's last man standing and literally they were the last two men standing.  They were presented in the press conference held after the said challenge.




Aside from these two, Mario Mendoza Jr. and Evan Rey Datuin, Axe Apollo National Challenge winners they will also be joined by the 3rd candidate who will be picked via an electronic raffle promo which is the AXE Hyperdrive Promo.  For every purchase of an AXE Apollo body spray, they will get a chance to win the last seat to Space Camp.  These three candidates from the Philippines will experience astronaut training in the U. S. this December together with over  hundred other candidates from all over the world.

According to Gem Laforteza, Axe Philippines Brand Manager "It's been over 7 months since we started this nationwide search for the first Pinoy astronaut.  Now that we are down to the Top 400, I think it's really starting to sink in that pretty soon we will be sending one of these people to space."

There's a total of twenty three tickets to space at stake, one of which is certain to go to a candidate from the Philippines making this person the first Filipino astronaut.


"I'm proud to have been involved in the selection process fro the first Filipino astronaut.  Naniniwala talaga ako na talentado ang mga Pinoy.  We deserved this opportunity.  And that's why we've tried our best to make sure that whoever gets it really deserves the one-in-a-hundred-million chance to go to space," says AXE Apollo National Selection Director Luis Manzano.

Here's another Teleserye that will definitely get the televiewers hooked.  It tackles about family and the story is about the mother and son tandem of Agnes and Binoy Henyo.  Binoy Henyo's storyline teaches parents to raise their kids to be the best they can be while highlighting the importance of maintaining a strong parental involvement in every child's learning and development. Hence the program believes that an encouraging parent is every child's greatest asset.

According to Sheena Halili who plays the role of Agnes, playing a role of a mother is the biggest challenge for her.  She also shared that she was really blessed because she have a mom who guides her all along.  Her portrayal as Agnes enlighten her about the sacrifices of mothers just for their children.


While Rich Asuncion is really happy as a teacher in the teleserye. She is still a student, so most of her teachers are her inspiration in portraying her role in Binoy Henyo. According to Rich,  David Remo (Binoy) is very charming and smart little boy, he can delivers his line very well.


Lucho Ayala who portray as the younger brother of Luis Alandi. He is comfortable with the other cast of Binoy Henyo, according to him all the cast are really kind "walang ng didiva sa amin" Lucho said.


David, on the other hand, enjoyed his role as Binoy as this is his first starring role.  At 6 years old, David showed great potential to be a good child actor that not all children his age can offer.

David is like my eldest son, he needs to stay in the venue for a while just to familiarize the venue and the people around him and then presto, they are now ready to mingle and you will notice that they are already hyper.

David is just like playing in the set, like during the interview he used to tease Len Len (Angel Satsumi), that makes Len Len look sad for instance.  And most of the time they will whisper to each other as if they didn't want us to hear or know what they are trying to say with each other.  Both of the are really cute to look at.

Completing the all-stat cast are Gwen Zamora who plays a vital role as Emily; Frencheska Farr as Sandy, Emily's scheming cousin.
