Rinnai Brings "Passion and Precision" Appliances to the Philippines

A company that has a motto of "Quality is our Destiny" says a lot of what it can do with their products. Rinnai, a company from Japan has partnered with Mitsui Industria Corporation so they can bring their world class appliances to the country. They have been doing this since 1920 and they want the Filipino to re-think and make their kitchens a complete one with Rinnai home appliances. 

Their quality control has been done consistently and only produce their products in Japan. Following strict standards in the industry, they built superior burners, ranges and hoods that makes it efficient to cook when in the kitchen. They have energy responsiple processes and even have energy saving products because that's what they want people to have when in the comforts of their home.

I want the hoods already! :) Here's what happened in the launch.

Ryza Cenon and Martin Del Rosario for "Ang Manananggal Sa Unit 23B"

I am typing these thoughts at 3AM. I just watched the Ryza Cenon and Martin Del Rosario starrer for the QC International Film Festival entry called "Ang Mananananggal sa Unit 23B". I thought it was going to be a run of the mill horror story that we always watch during this season, but alas, that wasn't the case at all.

The supposed freak show turned into a light plotted romantic film. I was giddy seeing how the love blossomed between Nico and Jewel, and how it almost failed in the end. 

Humor wise, I would really want to give props to Ms. Vangie Labalan for doing such a good work on the grandma role, she had us love her character which was so cute and endearing.

I could feel Ryza Cenon struggle really hard on that run of the mill painful transformation to a mythical monster, she did good as Jewel and if there's one thing I would want her character to do, it's a successful love making session with Nico. Not to spoil anything but I don't really find this movie scary at all, but more "cute" in a way.... plus a little bloody with the way things turned out for the lead roles. I think that was on purpose too, a little thinking wouldn't really matter much to capable audiences.

Here's our short interview before the film was shown in Robinsons Galleria.

I went home wanting to congratulate the two who saw the film with us a few rows back but they were already whisked away for work and perhaps more screenings the next day. I couldn't be prouder for Martin Del Rosario, if I would have not known these artists personally I swear there must have been something going on with them romantically judging from the film. It's very current too as it touches on Extra Judicial Killings, not on the President or any names though.

Think of horror, but see something cute, if that's making you think about seeing this film, nobody is stopping you. As for me, I find it good to watch with friends and your girlfriend. Go to Trinoma, Gateway Mall, Robinsons Galleria and UP Town Center. It's totally worth it! You'll end up smiling like I did. For the ladies, pretty soon you'll love wearing red nails. Watch the film and it'll tell you why.

Apotheca Integrative Pharmacy and Asia Genomics

I'm in Makati today to listen to some speakers talk about the big C, that's Cancer. Dr. Marcelo Imasa, an expert Oncologist from St. Lukes Medical Center started telling us about the global incidence and compared statistics in the Philippines. It's alarming, as it's about a 500% increase over the years and confirms that it is a genetic disease. There are tons of ways that cancer can develop, but it is sporadic and not really genetically pre-dispositioned. Majority of patients that are being handled by Dr. Imasa actually have 80% of them that have lung cancer, definitely something to think about.

We also listened to a short presentation about healthy eating courtesy of Yummy Diet (@YummyDiet on Instagram) who had us try their meals by the way!

They also said that there are benefits in genetic testing. It's actually good to do early screening, so you can have the risk reduced, also surgery or chemo prevention. Doctors can guide you for treatments these days. You can also identify risks for family members and not just one patient. It calls for counseling and will bear peace of mind and know earlier if you have the risk. Do you remember what Angelina Jolie had done? It was a process and if she could live longer by taking out these risks, she would. Dr. Imasa also told us how the others would feel in the family, or the community. Overall, it's the lack of awareness would be dangerous as there are various unknown sources still that would be considered. 

Apotheca Integrative Pharmacy is a specialty community pharmacy that's got medication and a curated variety of natural products located at Legaspi Village in Makati. They've got products that would help physicians in Thyroid Medication Management, Bio Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy, Weight Loss Management and Pain Management. So drop by if you need healthy stuff, I've seen tons of it inside their store.

They have capsules, compound diets, and work closely with doctors and patients. They are also working with AsiaGenomics so people would know more about Genetics testing even more. Because these days, it's not enough to only cure things when it's already on stage 4. Doctors still believe that prevention is better than cure. If that would need you to know your susceptibility to certain types of cancer, you have the option to prevent it early on.
