Eating right and healthy is one way that kids can get proper nutrition and build their foundation of strong immunity as they grow. There are many delicious dishes, often made with high-nutrient ingredients, that moms can cook for their kids to ensure they receive the right amount of vitamins and minerals to support their development.

To get their little ones started on having a balanced diet, moms can get into the habit of letting their children help in preparing meals. Cooking together is a good way to bond in the kitchen and teach them the basics of nutritious food.

Here are some easy-to-cook and nutrient-packed dishes that are best paired with a glass of Vitaminized Lactum 3+ for added benefits of immuno-nutrients Vitamins A, C, E, Zinc, and Selenium for their immune system and DHA, Iron, Iodine, Calcium, and Vitamin D to support brain and bone development:

2. Put the cheese and fold it in the egg whites.
3. Transfer on a baking sheet and put in the oven to bake for three minutes.

Among the casualties of the ongoing pandemic are food businesses located near universities in Manila. With distance learning taking the place of classrooms, campuses remain empty. Because of this, businesses lost the majority of their customers, greatly affecting their daily income.

Heaven’s Touch Cuisine is one of those eateries directly affected by the extended community quarantine. For this reason, its owners decided to enter their food business for consideration in the Lark x The Fat Kid Inside campaign.

As one of the chosen winners, Heaven’s Touch Cuisine was granted cash support to keep their business operational. In turn, a portion of the donation was used by Heaven’s Touch to prepare and deliver food packs to various City Hub sites.

A Rough Start Down the Road to Success

It took around three years for Heaven’s Touch Cuisine to really get going, according to Reggie Piadoche, whose parents own the eatery. The business was acquired by their family after its previous owners moved away. Rather than make changes to the name and the space, the Piadoches decided to keep everything as is, and build the business form there.

After 10 years of successful operations, Reggie says that their student-friendly prices, and home-cooked offerings are two major reasons why Heaven’s Touch Cuisine became a community favorite.

No New Normal

When news about Covid-19 started to spread, fewer students would hang out to eat after class. Eventually, school was called off completely, and soon, nearby businesses started closing shop. Although most restaurants in the area are used to slowing down during summer and school breaks, the lull has never lasted as long as the present lockdown.

In an attempt to adapt, Heaven’s Touch Cuisine tried to offer food deliveries early in the quarantine period. However, this turned out to be logistically impractical since they are not located in a residential area, and delivery fees are too costly. They do continue to receive a few food orders, but these are not enough to sustain the business.

Reggie says that they see no viable options for new normal operations at the moment. So, instead of focusing on profit, the family has shifted to giving back. Before becoming a winner of the Lark x The Fat Kid Inside campaign, the Piadoches had already completed a successful food drive, funded by donations they solicited themselves. 3,000 meals were shared with hospital workers, officers at checkpoints, homeless individuals, and those residing in shelters, during this drive.

Ms. Ligaya Piadoche, the owner of Heaven’s Touch Cuisine, prepares packed foods for the food drive. She is one of the chosen businesses of the Lark x The Fat Kid Inside campaign.

A Gift That Keeps On Giving

The funds they received from Lark and Erwan enabled Heaven’s Touch Catering to deliver around 2,500 more food packs, this time for blue collar workers at City Hub to enjoy.

The best thing about being chosen for this, according to Reggie, is the recognition that it brings to their initiative of feeding the community. He hopes it attracts more donors, so they can hold even more food drives in the future. He is also glad that his parents have a reason to continue cooking for others, which they love to do.

The new normal is digital, says Reggie, and being tech-savvy is a must for business owners. He is happy to have discovered Lark as a one-stop communication app, through this campaign. It’s hassle-free to use, with everything in one place. What impressed him most about the app was its capacity for sending large files, including videos. It also has the clearest and smoothest video calls among all the apps that he has tried. Reggie now intends to use Lark for coordination in their future food drives.

The Piadoche family has accepted that Heaven’s Touch Cuisine might not stay open much longer. At this point, Reggie says that even if the pandemic shuts down their business, they are content in knowing that they have done good for the community.

Another interesting news from NutriAsia. 

Filipinos looking for their favorite NutriAsia pantry essentials while also staying eco-friendly are in for a treat, as NutriAsia officially reopened their Bring Your Own Bote (BYOB) store at the Mind Museum in Bonifacio Global City on August 24, 2020.

4. After weighing, they can pay for their purchase online via GCash or BPI.

The ongoing pandemic has taken a toll on businesses worldwide, and the Philippines is no exception. Operational challenges, supply issues, and manpower limitations are just some of the problems that businesses face due to quarantine restrictions. Consumer behavior has changed as well, affecting both big and small companies.

Through their recent collaboration, the all-in-one productivity app, Lark, and entrepreneur, Erwan Heussaff, were able to provide some much-needed support for struggling business owners in Metro Manila through the Lark x The Fat Kid Inside campaign. Two community food businesses were chosen from a list of crowdsourced companies, as winners for this campaign. One of them is Pam’s Catering.

A Business Built on Serving the Community

Pam’s Catering started as a home based food business that delivered lunch meals to a nearby hospital with doctors, nurses and pharmaceutical representatives as their first customers. As their home cooked meals grew in popularity, the business expanded as well. From solo food orders, they began offering food trays, and eventually catering services to their clients.

The woman behind the business, and the delicious food, is 69-year old Malou Muncal, who started Pam’s Catering after she was widowed at a young age. Her passion for feeding people made getting into the food industry an easy decision for Malou. Pam Abueg, her daughter, says that every dish Malou makes is prepared with love, and that’s what sets them apart from others.

As a business-owner, Malou is hands-on, handling the menu planning, shopping, and cooking herself. She also believes in using her business to help others, which is why many of her staff members are residents of nearby communities in need of work.

Ms. Malou Muncal, the sole proprietor of Pam’s Catering, being hands on in preparing for one of her regular clients with over 250 guests. She is one of the chosen businesses of the Lark x The Fat Kid Inside campaign.

Bayanihan Between Businesses

Before the pandemic hit, Pam’s Catering was doing well. However, because of COVID-19, they faced cancelled bookings and a loss of income. Business operations needed to be downsized, and Malou sold two of her delivery vehicles to stay afloat. Seeing her mom struggle, Pam nominated Malou’s business for the Lark x The Fat Kid Inside campaign, which she heard about from a relative. This was her way of helping her mom, who is always the one helping others.

After she was chosen as a winner, Malou, who has been feeding hard working members of the community for over three decades, welcomed the opportunity to continue doing so with open arms. All in all, Pam’s Catering prepared 1,500 food packs, which were shared with Citihub residents. Citihub is a local social enterprise that provides safe, clean, and affordable housing for low-income Filipino workers in key areas within Metro Manila.

Malou found joy in the experience, since cooking for so many people was reminiscent of a normal day in her business. She was glad for the chance to give back to others through her food, and pay it forward, after Pam’s Catering was helped by Erwan and Lark.

Adapting to the New Normal

Continuing operations is not easy for Malou right now, as she adheres to quarantine restrictions for senior citizens. Luckily, she and Pam learned how productivity apps like Lark can help them quickly adapt to this new normal. Going digital couldn’t be easier or more convenient than with Lark.

While she can’t be in the kitchen herself, Malou instructs her staff through video calls. This enables her to monitor the cooking and packing process, and ensure that they deliver the same quality they always have. A clear picture during conference calls is important for this, and Pam shares that the video quality of Lark, matched with a stable internet connection, adequately meets their needs.

Lark’s screen sharing feature has also been helpful whenever Pam needed to teach Malou how to use digital apps and tools, which their business now relies on. Online file sharing is done for their reports, and Lark makes sending and receiving important documents very convenient. Coordination with their staff is all virtual, and the team also interacts with clients online for orders and inquiries. Pam says that it is easy to see how they can continue to use Lark for their business, especially since the app is simple to use, even for Malou.

Malou believes that, in everything, it is important to keep moving forward, and there is a solution for every problem. Through the Lark x The Fat Kid Inside campaign, she and the staff of Pam’s Catering have been given a remedy for some troubles they recently faced as a business. Now, they are able to continue serving the community with food made from the heart - through a new digital normal not just for today but also for all their tomorrows.

 

The time you spend online shouldn’t just be fun and relaxing. It is important to make sure that you are safe, too, as you browse the internet and share on social media. You can do this by checking that your privacy controls are properly set, and by practicing online etiquette whenever you comment and post.

TikTok is committed to maintaining a secure, positive, and welcoming environment where its users can creatively express themselves. Because of this, TikTok has made sure that you are in control of your safety while on the app, so you don’t need to worry. Here are five things that you can do to ensure a safe and secure user experience on TikTok.

1. Keep your security settings updated. In only three steps, you can easily tweak each of the commenting, direct messaging, and duet settings on TikTok. You may find these in the Privacy and Settings menu on your profile. Be sure to check and update these regularly so you are always secure while you use the app.

2. Put extra thought into your profile. Reveal just enough to let people learn more about who you are and what you post about. But also, avoid sharing details that might put your online and offline safety at risk, such as your daily schedule, bank information, and passwords and pins.

3. Post positive content. Do your part in creating a happy online environment by choosing to post content that is positive and meaningful. Through this, you might attract more followers and commenters who are cheerful in nature, too.

4. Filter your comments. Did you know that you can automatically filter out certain words from your comments? Keyword filters give you a say in how people reply to your posts, and help keep negativity off your feed.

5. Report inappropriate behavior. With TikTok’s in-app reporting feature, you can easily flag any users or content that make you or others uncomfortable. When you do this, you are also contributing to the wellbeing of the entire TikTok community.

Watch out for more TikTok Safety Series posts and articles in the coming weeks so you, too, can help create a secure and fun online environment each time you use TikTok on your iOS and Android devices.

From rising to stardom as Darna in the 1960s to receiving local and international accolades for lead and supporting movie roles in the 2000s, veteran actress Gina Pareño – Lola Gets to many – has reinvented herself this year, rising as one of TikTok’s unexpected sensations.

Dancing through challenges and eliciting smiles and laughter all around, she has garnered more than 4 million views, more than 4.4 million likes, and close to 900,000 followers.

Lola Gets started on TikTok in May 2020 via @yourlolagets, with encouragement from her granddaughter. “I was bored at home. It was like I was going to get crazy. Then I saw my granddaughter doing TikTok,” says Ms. Pareño. “My first video that went viral was the Wipe It Down (and Mirror) challenge. We now have 4 million views!”

“Whenever she sees me dancing or putting on makeup, she checks me out in my room. She would ask me what I was doing. She always says she wants to also join and that she also wants to dance. That’s when we realized, why not let her join TikTok?” says granddaughter Angelika Shayne.

For Gina, TikTok has been a platform where she can express her feelings, actions, and emotions naturally. With the intention to bring happiness to others, she relays that TikTok is about fun, laughter and good vibes.

Lola Gets has since gamely taken on other dance challenges, including My Chinita Girl, Binibining Marikit, Takata, Maria, Love Story, and Selfie Song, among others. She also shares down time moments while on set, including fun times with her director, Joshua Maghirang.

“We’ve experienced a lot of stress and anxiety during the first few months of quarantine. With all our limitations, here comes Gina Pareño as Lola Gets and viola, we created her TikTok account,” says Joshua.

#AskWednesday

Lovable, hilarious and unpretentious, Lola Gets has endeared herself more to fans of all ages when she started #AskWednesday on TikTok. “We did #AskWednesday so my followers have something to look forward to,” she says.

With #AskWednesday, followers get to ask questions to Lola Gets on the comment section every mid-week. The next Wednesday, Lola Gets uploads a video answering some of the questions and greeting fans.

The comments would come from followers all over the world, mostly Filipinos, and would range from questions about Lola Gets herself, to anything and everything under the sun.

Capping off her interview, Lola Gets left an inspiring message for her followers and fellow creators on TikTok. She is grateful for the love and support from the community as she embarks on her new creative journey that starts on TikTok.

Ms. Pareno was born in 1949 as Geraldine Acthley to a Filipino mother and German American father. She started her acting career in the 1960s and has since then gained local and international recognition for roles in award-winning movies such as Kubrador (2006), Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo (2006) and Serbis (2008). She has likewise played memorable roles on television. Lola Gets was a role she played for a television series in 2009, Tayong Dalawa.
