Real Robust Challenge Winners Bared

In the Philippines, we've come to see how Robust has inculcated in the lives of so many men... and in the process, fix personal physical issues when they get to a certain age. The brand has recently held a "Real Robust Challenge", a video blog competition amongst the Philippines' most talented content creators as they feature the all natural power packed supplement that contains Epidmedium Extract, Goat Weed, which is a Chinese aphrodisiac. It also has Gingko Biloba Leaf, Ginseng, Dansheng and Dahurian Angelica root, plus L-Arganine, for that long lasting performance.

Racking up millions of views for each video, they announced the top entries at the event a few nights ago. The Real Robust Challenge winners won 300k for 3rd Place given to Elaiza Sy (21,870,184 views), 500K for the 2nd Place went to FCY Channel (24,173,225 views), while the top prize of 1 Million went to VinF TV (41,285,748 views). Other top entries also won 30,000. Mind you, they also gave the prizes that day in cold cash, tax free!

The event was also graced by ATC Healthcare executives, makers of Robust in the country. Also in the crowd was the nice Raffy Tulfo himself, he was really nice talking in the sidelines especially to other vloggers who went up to him to take selfies.

They also announced that this will be repeated next year, but since ATC Healthcare International is feeling extra generous, Robust and Livermarin will be joining forces to give a whopping Php 2 Million for the winner in 2024. Congratulations on a very successful event! I can't wait to join the contest next year, it'll probably be huge as more content creators would take a jab at the prize and enjoy the same benefits that Robust gives.

Alice Dixson Swears By Wellgreens

The woman who captured the fancy of every young Filipino through a shampoo commercial in the 80's still looks absolutely gorgeous. She's Alice Dixson, and judging by the looks of it... she's still as pretty.

She's doing several shows including highly successful First Lady (sequel of First Yaya) together with Sanya Lopez and Gabby Concepcion and previous Legal Wives on the same network. But how does she look this good? Alice affirms it's her natural, healthy choices. 

She's a stern advocate of proper nutrition, diet, and help from WellGreens. This is Pascual Laboratories Inc.’s premium and certified organic natural food supplement. This year, their thrust has been to educate people about the benefits of taking food supplements that contain vitamins and nutrition needed by the body daily. They don't just get it from natural sources but also make it from certified organic companies like Leonie Agri Corp. that go through strict standards of farming, production and manufacturing of EU and USDA organic certification bodies. They (LAC) are also recognized for their Good Agricultural Practices by the Department of Agriculture. These WellGreens products such as Sinta, Lagundi-Cuban Oregano, Malunggay, Mangosteen-Malunggay and Ampalaya go through a stringent 13-step process. My personal choice is the Sinta as it is known as a herb that curbs type 2 diabetes which I have*. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that help manage certain inflammatory conditions*. This is also the reason why WellGreens is Alice Dixson’s healthy choice as she makes sure to incorporate preventive food supplements into her diet which she calls "self love".

According to Alice “I take Wellgreens so I can pursue more of my passions.  It complements my already healthy choices, it goes beyond natural and is certified organic and premium. It also keeps my blood sugar in check and is easily available in stores nationwide."

If you want to get these supplements, they are available in Mercury Drug Stores, Shopee and Lazada through Pascual Lab's official stores. Currently, they have buy one take one promos for some of these products so go get them now. For more information, check out their social channels and official website at pascuallab.com.

Bossing VIC SOTTO for BOSSMAXX3 Capsule and Coffee

It was a nice and fun afternoon over at the BOSSMAX3 Capsule and Coffee launch with their main man Bossing Vic Sotto and host Paulo Ballesteros giving us reasons why we should take these products from Corbridge a try.

BOSSMAX3 are dietary supplements and coffee made from Mangosteen Xanthone, one of our favorite local fruits that is said to have a throng of health benefits. Vic Sotto says "In many years, I've had the opportunity to give joy to other people. I take care of my health, I owe it to myself and my family. I do exercise, proper diet, and the bossing of my health BOSSMAX3, because your health is your boss."

He adds "When we did the shoot, Boss Gap was really attending to my needs. From capsule to coffee, I had it all. Mangosteen is a favorite, I called my driver to buy some for me but when he came back he told me "I can't find the store of Mang Gusting", no not my barber! Thank you to my Corbridge family for choosing me as an endorser, thank you for the warm welcome. Times are challenging and we've faced the pandemic head on while working at home. We follow protocols, and still adjusting to the new normal. This keeps me healthy, and you need the extra boost to keep you in shape, BOSSMAX3 does it for me! Aside from that, please text Pauline for my secrets. Being healthy for me especially during this pandemic, has been very important and we've seen that in the last few years. For a longer life, a better outlook in life, right food, supplements and vitamins, and not just coffee, you need a good one with health benefits. You also need to think about your mental health because that becomes who you are physically. I don't really endorse things that I don't believe in, and now that I'm younger, you have to double your efforts in taking care of your health. It's good to get older, you often felt it was hard, but I enjoy it now because we have discounts and feel it's good to grow... and BOSSMAX3 is good too."

Corbridge Group Philippines President and GM German Panghulan says "BOSSMAX3 is launching today, thank you Maru Sotto for making this possible. We welcome Vic Sotto to our Corbridge family. We have released products that add value for the community, it has been more apparent during these times in having good supplements for our consumers. We see ourselves doing this more in the years to come."

The BOSSMAX3 Coffee Strong costs Php 17.50 per sachet and Php 175.00 Box of 10s P175.00 while the BOSSMAX3 Coffee Creamy version costs Php 21.00 per sachet or Php 210 per box of 10's. The capsules cost Php 9.75 only, not fit for kids or lactating moms. BOSSMAX3 is available in Mercury Drug and Watson's Stores nationwide. Vic Sotto takes both the Creamy and Strong version, so you can do the same and take it when you feel like it. The BOSSMAX3 Coffee has Stevia as sweetener, so diabetics like me can have it. Now only if there's one in my home... baka naman!
