Get Discounts and Plant Trees on UNILEVER's Super Brand Day!

It's going to be the 163rd day of the year (164 if it's a leap year) but in the Philippines it's pretty special because we celebrate the country's Day of Freedom (Araw ng Kalayaan). As usual, we can't really go out and make festivities, but I always believe in doing a good deed which at this time and age would be much appropriate.

If you haven't had the chance to do so, well I've got special news from our friends at Unilever Philippines. If you shop this coming June 10-12, you can participate in their cause called LINIS PILIPINAS. You can get 50% OFF their products on Unilever's Super Brand Day. You also get to take care of the planet as they've partnered with Haribon Foundation who does numerous things on biodiversity conservation and proceeds will go to plant trees each time your purchase their products on these dates. 

 

Tons of sale happening, and it's going to be for a good cause!

You can also use the code LINISPILIPINAS so you can get Php 750 OFF their products or if you prefer, get 15% OFF with every Php 700 minimum spend on their store. Go check out their official store here https://shp.ee/q6f2khc. Now how's that for a celebration? Let's make the country greener. You'll also see a live update on how much trees planted on the app, go check it on those dates!https://shp.ee/q6f2khchttps://shp.ee/q6f2khc

Arkin, JM, Nicole, Annicka and Joana Celebrates Birthday with Orphans

We went to the Goldilocks Cake Plant with Kapuso stars Arkin Magalona, JM Reyes, Nicole Dulalia, Annicka Dolonius and Joana Marie Tan as they celebrate their birthday with orphans from Assosacion De Damas de Filipinas. They wanted to spend time with the kids and hopefully get them to be a little happy by engaging them in fun activities in the cake plant. They played games and made their own cupcakes together with the GMA stars. I can sense it wasn't just the kids who became happy but even the celebrants that day. These kids from the orphanage prolly don't have parents anymore but they're lucky to still have a non government organization taking care of them.

Arkin wishes to have a place where everyone is equal. He hopes there would be no poor, no rich, nobody taking advantage of other people. He reminds me so much of his Father even at a very young age. I sincerely hope his wish comes true. 

JM on the other hand wants more projects this year. He's quite tall now than the last time I saw him. I guess he's ready for more serious roles. He's groomed to be fit for drama and that might be a good avenue for him to shine. We hope to see him in more series soon.

Joana is part of Strawberry Lane. She's still eager to have more projects soon as she feels she can do more. She had fun with the kids during the cake decoration exercise and she's very competitive. She won in the games too. 

Nicole was super eager to get to spend time with the kids. We saw her really helping them finish decorating their cakes. She is also part pf Strawberry Lane so make sure you watch them every night. She also hopes for more projects soon and perhaps spend more time with friends and family.

Annika had fun with the kids and even took selfies with them too. She even played with them a bit during the cake decorating segment of the celebration. She is also part of "Ang Nawawala" opposite Dominic Roco which will be released commercially in November. She is also waiting for shows and hopes she gets tons of projects soon.

It was a great day, made even better by spending a worthwhile afternoon with the kids. Thank you Goldilocks, Monreo Biscuits, Active White, Sundance and GMA Artist Center for having us tag along. 

I hope we get to do more of these things for the kids, we had fun!

COCA-COLA FEMSA PHILIPPINES

Everybody has a perceived dream when they are still young. Funny because I wanted to make Coca Cola when I was a kid. Failure, oddly enough makes you a better person and your goals change as time goes by. I went to a Coca Cola plant back then but didn't know how it happened as it was part of a field trip itinerary. Lo and behold, I was back at it again a few weeks ago. It was an eye opening experience.

For those who don't know, Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines was incorporated in January of this year. FEMSA, is one of the biggest companies in Latin America that acquired a 51% stake in Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Incorporated (CCBPI). This means, they are now part of the largest beverage company and Coca Cola bottler int the world.

I was in the company of executives of this prestigious corporation. Had a few jittery moments because I think I was the only blogger there. They wanted to show us how they do things in the Sta. Rosa plant. Shown are pellets of resin that they make into bottles before filling it up and sending it to your homes. These are standardized processes and they are strict in implementing it. I even took the thing home as a souvenir haha. Then we proceeded to the plant.

Quality, safety and sustainability is what they have built in to the process. They are following international and global standards and ensure that they are complying or a step ahead in providing happiness. What's pretty cool is that they even went ahead and did initiatives to help the community, an integral part of their being according to Mr. Juan Dominguez (HR and Corp Affairs Director) of Coca-Cola FEMSA. Their thrust of being the best in the industry for Water, Energy Conservation, Safety Programs and Environment Best Practices is a priority. This is beside their main function of producing, bridging route to market paths and distribute to centers nationwide. Whilst Coca Cola Philippines still sells syrup to them and markets product.

Year on year, there has been remarkable improvement in making their plant more efficient and environmentally friendly. They have even won several awards to date and has been regarded by the local government institutions as a stalwart of solid waste management, environmental runs, tree planting, river and community cleanup drives.

This is their promise to the Philippines as they continue to provide happiness in every home.

Heard they also helped a ton with Yolanda victims. The small chats on how their plant in that area got ravaged and just gave away their products was heartwarming. They had clean potable water which helped countless families in the region. They also have been producing non stop more water and donating them at these times. A noble gesture indeed. They will also be waiting for more information about where and how they could rebuild their lives (and their workers)after one of the strongest typhoons on Earth has landed in the Philippines. I believe Coca-Cola Femsa Philippines will continue to make head way in not only spreading happiness, but start responsible corporate initiatives that change the lives of Filipinos nationwide!
