KUCHI KUCHI Unleashes New KUCHI KUCHI COOLING POWDER CITRONELLA Variant

When I read about this, I couldn't believe it exists! Best of all, it's made in the Philippines, which is why I'll get some for personal consumption and for my Mom. See, my Mom always complains about how it is super hot in the afternoons, and when she's even doing nothing, she becomes an easy target for mosquitoes, something that she has dreaded for years now. 

Kuchi Kuchi has made a Kuchi Kuchi Cooling Powder that is a Citronella Variant. This means, you get to solve 2 things at the same time,.particularly if it's too HOT (as it gives you the cooling effect) and when there's mosquitoes (as Citronella plants are known for deterring mosquitoes naturally). 

The product is also gentle, easily accessible as it is available in Shopee and Lazada. It comes in 50g and 100g bottles and cost less than a hundred pesos. For those who want a more mortar and pestle style of purchasing, fret not because it'll be available in pharmacies like Mercury Drug, Watsons, Rose Pharmacy, even stores like Puregold, SM Supermarket and Robinsons starting next month. 

Now is the time to put Kuchi Kuchi Cooling Powder Citronella in your go bags, for your Mom or kids, it's FDA approved and safe! Isn't that a good thing?!

Golden Haven Zamboanga Bags Laurels from FIABCI Property and Real Estate Awards

Looks like the good people from Zamboanga have a lot to be happy about this week as accolades came for Golden Haven Zamboanga Crematorium. They are the Gold Winner for the Outstanding Developer Category (Specialized/ Purpose Built) which was given at ceremonies held at Solaire Resort North in Quezon City. Because of their work in modern but culturally sensitive properties which addressed the needs in the region, they were given the award by FIABCI. The project was completed in 2024 and has become a center for services that accommodate families, spaces they need, rooms and crematorium services that Filipinos need. 

This is just one of many locations they cater for, which now makes the burial services needed for others a primary service they can do. Their division head Ms. Emelia Lustado proudly said that they are so proud to service families and their loved ones in the most difficult circumstances and appreciate their trust with the Golden Haven brand. They promise to always uphold standards, and innovate even more in the coming years. They hold this as their responsibility for their clients, and the community they belong to around the country. 

Congratulations on this win! May your trihe increase!

Unveiling The Future Of Trusted Solar Energy with INTEGRA R.E.

The energy crisis is happening and one of the most affected countries is of course, the Philippines. With the one of the highest rate of electricity in the world, people are left finding solutions like in renewable energy. In recent weeks, the discussion about Solar energy has been very heated. Aside from the problems of permits and regulation, the acceptance of it has been very slow. 

Despite that, the market and need for it is continuously growing, and we met the folks from Integra RE who's been in the industry since 2022. Their relaunch has been done as they've become part of Singapore based Tai Sin Electric Limited. They now serve the whole Southeast Asia and will benefit businesses in the Philippines as they do B2B work. They supply, design end to end products and devices to get that Solar energy journey started in plants, manufacturing and your own homes. 

Junrhey Castro the Regional Manager for Integra RE says "We are a B2B renewable energy supplier, some of you experienced power outages, red and yellow alerts and suffered diesel and gasoline prices. We have been in the Philippines since 2022, but have now rebranded as Integra RE. At the show, there are various suppliers and focus on batteries and solar panels, and our role is to integrate it all so it makes more sense for the Filipino household."

Here's more about our interview with him this morning:

The situation in energy has really hurt a lot of nations including the Philippines. The gap is huge, and we don't have enough buffer to make energy available and affordable for cities and it has been seen in recent yellow alerts. You could also feel the price increase in gasoline, and your bill has even shown the increase. Trust that Integra RE will push for standardization of all things solar so you could lower your electricity bills, protect yourself from fluctuating prices, become energy independent, have very low maintenance devices (to easily manage it) and have higher environmental impact overall.
