Blocker Airborne Shield Now Available at Shopee

Times are hard, and we're all confined in the comforts of our homes because GCQ has not been lifted yet in the metro. Our government can only do so much and we're all doing our share in keeping ourselves safe by washing our hands, wearing masks, and keeping distance from everybody else. But how safe are we really?

I've recently seen that Blocker is currently sold in Shopee. It's said to be an extra personal protective shield against airborne infections such as viruses, bacteria, mould and offensive odours. The device uses a chemical compound called Chlorine Dioxide that sanitizes the air in your immediate vicinity. You can carry it around, very lightweight, fits in your shirt pocket or attached in a handbag to keep you safe. They also encourage this to be used by kid 3 years old and up, also pregnant women, or just about anyone who goes out to get supplies for home.

The Blocker uses Chlorine dioxide, which is an effective agent against pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. It is in liquid form, that eventually turns into gas which they use as disinfecting and environmental purification agent recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the World Health Organization (WHO) and Japan’s Ministry of Health. If you haven't thought of adding precaution to your routine safety protocols at home, this would be a good way for you to be ready for the new normal.

HELP Caritas Manila Provide Ligtas COVID-19 Kits to Poor Families Through GCASH

Since the entire Luzon is under Enhanced Community Quarantine (Lockdown) from March 17 to April 12, a lot of people have no access to public transportation and tasked to stay inside homes. The Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases intensified efforts to identify and isolate confirmed Covid-19 cases in NCR and that has affected poor families Luzon wide. The need to purchase food and basic protection needs against COVID-19 has been so hard these couple of days and a lot of them have been deprived of livelihood especially those who only have earnings day to day to put food on the table.

Caritas Manila, the lead social service arm of the Archdiocese of Manila just recently launched their "LIGTAS COVID-19" campaign which aims to provide Caritas Ligtas COVID-19 kits and Caritas Manna food bags to 6,000 poor families in the NCR. This has been a priority to augment barangay and local government efforts as there are still thousands of families left to fend for themselves as the capital faces a lockdown to put a curb in the spreading of the virus.

Each 2000 Peso donation goes to purchase Caritas LIGTAS COVID-19 kits for a family of 5. It includes:

1 liter of 70% ethyl alcohol

5 handy bottles of 30 ml alcohol

5 washable face masks

1 liter of antibacterial liquid soap

1 box of 100 tablets of vitamin C with zinc

A pair of reusable gloves

1 liter of liquid bleach

3 pieces of cleaning cloth

Eco bag

While the 700 Pesos worth of Caritas Manna bag for families contain:

5 kilos of rice

munggo beans

9 assorted canned goods

2 packs of Caritas Margins kalabasa/malunggay noodles

1/4 pack of sugar and salt

Eco bag

For those who would like to help Caritas Manila, you can simply donate any amount through GCash. Simply scan the QR code above in your GCash app and you can donate as low as 1 peso to help protect these families from COVID-19. YOU can help.

The Scandalous Sy Family Dinner

It was a grand night meeting bloggers from north to south. Since it was Chinese New Year fever a few weeks ago, a secret invite was sent out to bloggers indicating an event at Mango Tree Bistro. Though the menu was more on the Thai side we were definitely treated to a festive Chinese inspired theme party complete with the drama that goes in with it. Yeap! We were all in for a surprise!

The Dinner was served!

Tom Yum Soup, if it has shrimp I can't eat it... I'm allergic sorry!

Thai Green Curry, this was nice! I love Thai food specially this one if it was extra hot!

Sauteed Squid, this was okay. I took a bite but didn't get too much of it otherwise I'll have allergies :)

This is by far my favorite on their menu, breaded tofu! It was good!

I love Chicken Satays and this one was made more special because of the skewers made with lemon grass. It changes the flavor so much, I love it!

Light and refreshing this concoction of peach, lychee and bits of beets (I guess) was a hit!

After having dinner, the SY FAMILY came out and gave a few words.

They thanked everyone who came to this dinner that they hosted. It was kind of unclear to me why they did this but I went along with the drama. They introduced their sons next.

Da gei/Ge ge or older brother a scholar, an accomplished businessman and the Dad was very proud of him.

Didi or Younger Brother- an athlete that won several gold medals, always on top of class.

Then the youngest one barged in. Later on we found out that she was affected by the ROTA Virus which caused her to have diarrhea and other complications at an early age. This hampered her developmental skills and so she was a little rowdy as you might have guessed. Did you know that thousands of kids actually have this in the Philippines?! Mostly in their infancy and it does affect their skills later on in life.

The Dad didn't understand why his child was like this initially... but without the understanding of the parents and her siblings she wouldn't have a normal life. Underachiever, childish and pretty late in learning her cognitive skills were not as advanced as those people of her age. This is the after effects of the ROTA Virus. It's the second highest cause of death in the Philippines for kids ages 5 and below.

A Doctor and representative from GSK actually explained to us that there are several vaccines now available in the market that could prevent this from happening to children.

I still adore her though. We sat right next to each other while doing a couple of games with regards to guessing some viruses and diseases. We should have won, but you know there are cheaters hahaha. (joke!)


Good thing the Doctor said that the DOH is doing headway on making a national campaign against this virus. I'm sure pretty soon that there will be better health programs that would even make this particular vaccine available in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Thank you so much to GSK for keeping us informed, we really enjoyed this night. Sorry I was really noisy that evening, it really shows how much I enjoyed meeting everyone! =)
