Ever Wondered What Working in Snack Corps Look Like?

Thursday, May 11, 2023


I like Oreo dunked in milk or coffee, have Cadbury Dairy Milk after dinner, Toblerone on snacks, and Cheez Whiz on mac and cheese or sandwiches. Did you know that all of these come from Mondelez Philippines? Ever wonder what it feels to work there? Well I do.
 



Raf Baradas is the Senior Brand Manager for chocolates in this corp. As a marketing pro, he deems it important to be a consumer of the products that they work with. He remembers making those triangle sandwiches with Cheez Whiz and eating tons of Oreo for snacks back in college. He's glad he's growing with the company that makes it. He also likes how it's very high paced and see how his love for the products become the same for consumers around the country. He bids this a very fulfilling position on both a professional and personal level. He knows putting importance to consumers made the brands what it is today, and glad how there's a mix of people inside the corp. 
 


Gicelle Medina the Senior Marketing Manager for Meals at Mondelez Philippines on the other hand loves how diverse the people are at work. They also have a huge amount of leaders that they get inspired with, to not only work with them, but learn from their brilliant minds. They guide them and have them learn through trials, with some of the best in the industry. Being a part of this she says has nurtured her professional and personal growth, and loves how Mondelez Philippines continues to be an environment best for those who work in Marketing and want to further their careers.


Now that just wants me to work there too. If you want to know more about them, head on to the Mondelez Philippines site and social channels.

TCL Gets Red Dot Award for Soundbar this 2023


I remember buying a TCL TV a few years back, it lasted for years and I loved it til it had its last hurrah. Today, it's the second top brand and first when it comes to 98 inch TV's and recently, their TCL S6 Series Home Theater Soundbar even won a Red Dot Award for product design (this 2023). This distinction has been much coveted in the industry since they've been around for 60 years recognizing the best of the best for consumer devices.

The TCL S6 Series Home Theater Soundbar has 3 models. The TCL S643W takes pounding for breakfast with it's 70W subwoofer, three speakers that can take your listening to another level. It's got a different max volume output, less distortion, so imagine if you've got this, subwoofers and sattelite speakers installed in your media room. Power is at 240W so if you've got a large floor space than recommended, it's not going to be an issue.

It's also got Dolby Audio. If you hear how it feels in a multi channel environment, you'll love how it's clear and feel like you're there on the scene when watching a movie. You can opt for automatic settings via Specialized Sound Modes if you prefer an easy route, but everything is up to you if you want to personalize your settings.

If you've got a TCL TV (which has Bluetooth capability), you can take advantage of its Bluetooth 5.3 connection and just use the connection to keep everything wireless in your entertainment setup. If you want more ideas, go visit TCL Philippines official site and social channels because they've got a lot of tips there.

Be Summer Ready with Megan!


It's so hot outside you can fry an egg off a car roof. These days, it's but a necessity to take care of your skin. Let me tell you about what Megan has up their sleeves.

Ever wonder why there are Filipinos who look younger than their actual age? Some of them use sunscreen on a regular basis, and some of them use serums too. The harmful rays of the sun could cause skin cancer and more of those unwanted wrinkles, having something to protect your skin and making sure it has the nutrients and protection it needs is crucial especially now that it's summer! You must take a look at their new sunscreen and serum line as it protects you from the harmful rays, and nourishes your skin without being heavy, it's also safe to use regularly.

 
I saw their brand ambassador Megan Young and her husband Mikael Daez a few days ago in an event. To say she's beautiful is an understatement. She uses Megan Beauty products and even swears the ones with Niacinamide and Vitamin C on it, and makes it a point to include it in her daily skincare routine. She has been doing this together with the Megan Peel Off Mask to do self care even at home, or on the set before she goes in front of the camera. Best of all, it's affordable too. Now wouldn't this be a good day for a little self care? Of course it is, go head on to leading shops where Megan is available!

Apollo Skin Solutions: Positive Mindset and Holistic Care

Tuesday, May 09, 2023

Got to join a really fun wellness camp a few days ago hosted by the good people from Apollo Skin Care, a brand under PHILUSA Corporation (who's celebrating their 65th!) that provides affordable but quality products that's been doing it for more than 30 years. Their secret? Keeping it practical, only dishing out products that YOU NEED and make it accessible to the market. This is why they've stayed on top. This has been the mission of PHILUSA Corporation says their President Neogin Evangelista. From their Apollo Petroleum Jelly, Sebo De Macho, Lip Balm and Castor Oil, all these products keep you healthy looking and moisturized.



At the event, they also invited derm Doctor Michelle Manuel who explained how to achieve better looking skin and how to nourish it. Taking in fruits and veggies, water, lots of sleep, protecting it with sunscreen, these will all keep you young and have glow. You also need Vitamin C for collagen production, so those skin issues won't surface early in life. She also suggests lessening stress to prevent breakouts. Makes total sense.

They also invited Colleen Mateo who swear by Apollo Sebo de Macho which she used for her scars after undergoing surgery. They also had choreographer Aira Casim who uses Apollo Petroleum Jelly which she uses for almost all her body parts to keep it moisturized the whole day. She uses it on her feet since it's the most used when she dances. Janeska Margaux, an influencer uses it for her dry skin so she looks perfect on photos. They also use the Pink Apollo Lip Balm and Castor Oil, so when they face their cameras on their vlogs, it'll look plump and moisturized. Plus it's not expensive, something that other brands would charge much when you're getting the same quality.

We also played a few rounds of bowling at the venue. The Apollo Wellness camp is about body, mind and soul, so taking care of ourselves is also a priority. Having a well balanced life means you have to have those serious days, but also have time to play. I also got to know a lot of the other Moms and influencers there that I wouldn't have on a normal day. That made my inter-personal skills a little better.

Now if you want to know more about Apollo Skin Solutions, make sure you like their social channels by searching for Apollo Skin Care or the main PHILUSA Corporation brand for more of these products, it's a sure way of doing holistic care.
