It’s been a very controversial week in the media and government service industry. Recently, the current DSWD Chief Rolando Bautista has drawn flak from radio announcer and TV personality Erwin Tulfo. With alleged threatening remarks and distasteful words against the former General, DSWD Chief Rolando Bautista recently released an official statement in reaction to the media personality’s public apology.

Several people, PMA Alumni, soldiers, officers, government employees and NGO’s showed stern support for DSWD head honcho and on his recent pronouncements, he has set a couple of conditions for him to accept the media personality’s apology.

It includes publication of the apology, in half page advertisements of leading newspapers for visibility. Upload/Publish his apologies on social media platforms and air it on leading radio stations in the country. He also would like to have the newscaster to donate at least Php 300,000 to each of 19 organizations he included on his statement, in the hopes of also helping them as well.

DSWD Chief Rolando Bautista was extremely thankful for the men and women who have shown support in the past few weeks and expresses high hopes the media personality would consider his conditions.

DSWD Chief Rolando Bautista was a former Lt. General who now leads the organization in aftercare and rehabilitating of drug personalities, and as of recent, does supervision for the enforcement of commitments indicated in the IRR for children in conflict areas, work in social pension projects and welfare of indigenous people. He also lead ground work during the Marawi siege as commnder of the 1st Infantry Divisions Joint Task Force Marawi and as Chief of the Philippine Army.

If his requests be met, we all hope for an amicable settlement that would win more for the people they serve.

Promate Partners with Thinking Tools Inc.

I have been carrying this power bank for about a year and a half because it just fits my lifestyle. I don't have to recharge it much because it just packs power a lot, and for three days of coverages it still works. Now I am no stranger with Promate because of these experiences and they have a lot of other products too. I bet it's time they expand elsewhere in the country. This recent development made them happy.

Ms. Virgin Tan the TTI COO says "We have been always keen to partner with Promate and we are very excited to carry their various range of products and accessories. This will serve our customers who want their peripherals, gadgets and devices in this region."

For those who want to know more about the brand or get their power banks, data and power cables or Bluetooth audio devices, it is available now in leading retail stores and 150 countries worldwide. 

I'm enjoying mine, you should too!

Watsons World of Wellness 2019

I was in Cebu for a weekend and stayed in the Osmena area for a few days, but totally forgot about my medicine because I was frantic packing for this trip. I seldom do but I was so glad there was a Watsons branch right across the street where my hotel was so I whipped out my Watsons card and paid for the usual maintenance medicine I needed for 4 days.

Now if I only knew they had an event there too I would have covered this World of Wellness 2019 event by Watsons. This is a health symposium that Watsons does so Filipinos could have more knowledge on health and wellness. 

As a Watsons Card Member, they got to listen to Dr. Kevin Bautista (about flu and basic asthma), whilst Dr. Celine Aquino and Dr. Marivic Vestal discussed causes of hear attacks and Dr. Marissa Garcia taught them more about the lifestyle of diabetes patients. They also got to participate in different booths and won prizes, exclusive discounts and earn points on their purchases, what a treat!

This seem to be a thing they plan to do in different parts of the country, like what they said in the launch we attended a few months back. Watsons members really get more!

Go to Watsons.com.ph or Facebook.com/watsonsph to know more about the Watsons Card. I already have one and it is for a lifetime membership!
