Program Pillars

LEARN, CREATE, and SHARE

Good food starts at home but world-class dishes are most usually learned in culinary schools. This year, culinary students have the opportunity not only to LEARN industry skills, but also to CREATE significant changes to their careers, and then SHARE these culinary successes to the society.

Jolly University

Jolly University is not a physical university but it’s a learning program created by one of the leading brands in canned fruits and vegetables, JOLLY. It’s actually in its second year and culinary students from various universities were given the chance to hone not only their skills in the kitchen but to also excel in different areas necessary for career advancements such as Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Digital Marketing and Personality Development.

Jolly University was officially launched to the media last Thursday, February 26 with a lavish lunch buffet provided by Cafe Jeepney in Intercontinental Hotel Manila. Mommy Bloggers Philippines was witness to how JOLLY brand was focusing its effort to the development of the culinary state with the support of its owners and executives plus the invited mentors and speakers.

Jolly University’s learning program consisted of 3 parts where the first part, the Jolly University school tours, started as early as January this year. 12 schools from all over the metro became part of this tour. An Intra-School Cooking Competition was held within each schools with a series of talks by JOLLY executives and culinary specialists. Three teams from each schools were chosen, the “Jolly University Elites” and they will all go through an intensive training at the next phase of the program, which will be the Jolly University Boot Camp. It will be a 2-day seminar meant mainly to mentor each of the participants by several industry leaders which will include Fly Ace Corporation President Jun Cochanco himself. All these will then culminate to the third part of Jolly University’s program which will be the Jolly University Grand Culinary Challenge to be held on March 1, 1-5 pm at Midtown Atrium, Robinson’s Place, Manila.

With its complete line of canned fruits and vegetables, the JOLLY brand had definitely improved our lives with healthier food served in many more ways. The JOLLY University program will certainly give our culinary students more skills and edge in the food industry. As they learn, create and share their latest food preparations, recipes and expertise in the restaurants they will be joining, we are certain that our families will have more exciting days in dining and our moms will be more inspired in trying out fresh recipes created by the newest culinary elites.

Baby Care Rituals for Happy, Healthy Development

Johnson’s® shares how moms and dads can stimulate

their baby’s senses through these baby care rituals

JOHNSON’S® understands that for Filipino parents, their baby’s health and development is of primary importance. This is why we’ve developed sensorial rituals that parents can consistently enjoy doing with their babies. When used with our specially-formulated JOHNSON’S® products, these rituals can unlock the full power of the senses and help baby develop healthily and happily.

We encourage parents to learn more about these rituals, and regularly practice them with their children from birth up until their toddler years.

Newborns aged 0-6 months use their five senses to survive. Their senses allow them to feel safe, stab le and secure. JOHNSON’S® advocates newborn rituals for sensory security.

1. 4-Step Newborn Bathing Ritual – Calms the baby’s senses to help him feel more safe and secure.

a. Step 1: Massage baby with JOHNSON’S® Baby Oil to leave a warm protective barrier on his skin.

b. Step 2: Wrap baby in a swaddle to mimic the feeling of the baby while inside the mother’s womb. This will make him feel safe and secure as you lower him down in a tub of lukewarm water. Using JOHNSON’S® Top-to-Toe Wash, start cleaning baby’s face first, and then slowly unwrap him to clean his body. This ensures that he isn’t stripped of his skin’s natural moisture.

c. Step 3: Rinse baby and dry. Lock in the moisture with JOHNSON’S® Baby Pink Lotion.

d. Step 4: Apply JOHNSON’S® Baby Powder on baby’s body, including the nappy area, to protect him from irritation-causing wetness and keep him comfortable.

2. 2-Step Soothing Nappy Care Ritual – Protects baby from irritation.

a. Step 1: Use JOHNSON’S® Baby Skin Care Wipes, which has moisturizing essences that cleans and protects baby’s skin better than water and soap alone.

b. Step 2: Before changing baby’s diaper, give baby’s skin complete protection with JOHNSON’S® Baby Complete Care Powder, which effectively absorbs and repels wetness, reduces skin friction, and soothes skin irritation from wearing diapers.

Infants (7 months to 2 years) use their senses to explore for rapid brain development. JOHNSON’S® advocates daily rituals for sensory discovery such as a playful bath of textures, sights and scents, and a calming bedtime routine for better sleep.

3. 4-Step Infant Bathing Ritual –Stimulates baby’s senses to help his development and growth.

a. Step 1: Massage baby with JOHNSON’S® Baby Oil to leave a warm protective barrier on his skin.

b. Step 2: Cleanse baby with JOHNSON’S® Baby Milk + Rice Bath to nourish his developing skin.

c. Step 3: Rinse baby and dry. Lock in the moisture with JOHNSON’S® Baby Milk + Rice Lotion to strengthen growing skin with 200%* more nourishing ingredients.

d. Step 4: Apply JOHNSON’S® Baby Powder Milk + Rice on baby’s body, including the nappy area, to complete skin nourishment and keep baby’s skin healthy, soft and smooth.

4. 4-Step Bedtime Ritual –Proven to improve baby’s sleep to help him grow and develop to his full potential.

a. Step 1: Massage baby with JOHNSON’S® Baby Bedtime Oil with NATURALCALM™ essences that help baby feel calm, relaxed and ready for better sleep.

b. Step 2: Bathe baby with JOHNSON’S® Baby Bedtime Bath to help your little one let go of the day’s excitement

c. Step 3: Rinse baby and dry. Massage with JOHNSON’S® Baby Bedtime Lotion to foster mom and baby bonding and sooth & strengthen baby's skin.

d. Step 4: Protect baby from wetness while helping him sleep better with JOHNSON’S® Baby Bedtime Powder.

Children aged 2-5 years use their five senses to build an understanding of everything in the world. Their senses must be stimulated with hands-on activities that are the foundation for learning. JOHNSON’S® advocates sensory mastery, which includes getting ready for play and stimulation of each of the five physical senses.

5. 3-Step Playtime Ritual –Supports growing kid’s healthy sensorial development by making him ready for play

a. Step 1: Bathe baby with JOHNSON’S® Baby Active Fresh Bath. Its easy rinse formula is infused with ActiveFresh™ technology that leaves skin clean and smelling fresh all-day.

b. Step 2: To let your child play outdoor more pleasantly, use JOHNSON’S® Baby Active Fresh Powder. It contains ActiveFresh™ technology bursts with fragrance upon contact with sweat, for long lasting fragrance all day.

c. Step 3: Keep baby smelling fresh with JOHNSON’S® Baby Cologne that instantly energizes with an invigorating scent.

All of these rituals are made possible because every JOHNSON’S® product has Triple Baby Protection, which promises:

1) Only the safest ingredients that are proven to be appropriate for babies

2) Mild formulations to avoid irritation on baby’s skin

3) Effectiveness in helping to keep skin’s natural moisture

We encourage moms and dads to make bath time and the other baby care rituals mean so much more to maximize their happy and healthy development. Make sure to spend more quality time with your babies in these different rituals – massage them more, talk to them more, play with them more – to help nurture their ability to learn, think, love, and grow.

Bath Time Can Mean So Much More

JOHNSON’S® advocates “Di Lang Ligo ang Ligo,”

leading a campaign for multi-sensorial stimulation during bath time

for Why happy, healthy baby development

Can bath time be so much more than cleansing? Beyond giving parents precious moments to bond with their little ones, can bath time actually have a powerful and long-term impact on a baby’s development?

In line with its commitment to advancing baby care, JOHNSON’S^® conducted the Global Bath Time Report among seven key countries to better understand how parents view bath time and its role in the development of babies. The report revealed that while 96% of parents in the Philippines* believe that bath time is so much more than just getting their child clean, 45% do not see that it is extremely important for cognitive development*. This could be the reason why the Philippines has the shortest bath time duration for babies—15 minutes vs. the global average of 23 minutes.

Research has shown that bath time is actually a great opportunity to stimulate baby’s senses because it is a time when babies’ senses are very much alive. Further studies prove that multisensory stimulation can strongly aid in promoting happy and healthy baby development. With this in mind, JOHNSON’S^® paves the way for a brighter future for Filipino babies by educating parents on the role of sensorial stimulation during the bath time ritual, which can lead to happy, healthy baby development.

Bath time: a potent opportunity to promote cognitive and physical development

“Bath time can be so much more than getting clean. Multisensory stimulation rituals can aid in promoting happy and healthy baby development leading to specific benefits such as increased weight gain and bone mass, reduced stress, crying and better quality and quantity of sleep,” shares Dr. Didoy Castañeda, Asia Pacific Medical & Clinical Affairs Director. With opportunities for touch, sight, smell, and sound, the bath is among the key baby care rituals parents can use to nurture baby.

“Mahirap pero masaya,” shared Rica Peralejo-Bonifacio, JOHNSON’S^®celebrity mom influencer, when asked about being a mom. “As a first-time mom, you would like to ensure that you are truly hands-on when it comes to taking care of your baby. It’s been a year since Philip came into my life and I can truly say that it has been nothing short of exciting and challenging at the same time. What I truly enjoy are the baby care rituals I share with him, especially bath time. I am happy to know how bath time provides opportune moments for me to stimulate his senses - especially touch and smell - to aide in his total development,” Rica adds.

“Apart from massage, other ways the senses can be activated especially during bath time include the playing of music and games, and the use of fragranced products. Pleasant smells, particularly, when paired with the loving interactions of a parent, can create positive and lasting memories that children will remember for a lifetime. Fragranced products are known to increase infant engagement, helping mothers bond with their babies, and helping babies stay calm and relaxed for a more prolonged period of time,” adds Mr. Arun Viswanath, Asia Pacific, Science & Technology head at Givaudan Fragrances.

“Dramatic growth in a child’s physical, motor, cognitive and social-emotional development is very much dependent on the stimulation a parent provides in the first several years of a child’s life. Touch is a powerful tool to maintain alert state in babies, to calm them or as an attention-getting stimulus. Touch is also a good reinforcer for positive infant behavior and learning,” added Dr. Theresa Hilario-Jimenez, President of the Perinatal Association of the Philippines, sharing the importance of touch or skin-to-skin contact with babies, which are most evident during bath time.

Johnson’s Philippines shares “Di Lang Ligo ang Ligo”

“As the world gradually expands for a baby, the role of parents in supporting early positive experiences and growth through stimulation is of utmost importance. A complete and healthy baby care ritual firstly involves optimally-formulated products to enhance a baby’s skin barrier, while maximizing these moments to promote positive physical and cognitive growth. This is made possible through our TRIPLE BABY PROTECTION™ present in every JOHNSON’S® product, which is our commitment to providing care that combines safety, mildness and effectiveness to support babies’ healthy skin development,” shares Mrs. Trina Tanlapco, JOHNSON’S® Franchise Marketing Manager. “Through the SO MUCH MORE™ campaign we also hope to inspire parents nationwide to make bath time mean so much more and spend more quality time during bath time, not only to provide a delightful experience for her child, but to optimize these precious moments for their healthy development,” she adds.

The global campaign, SO MUCH MORE™, is about enhancing rituals, including bath time, to stimulate baby’s senses and provide parents an opportunity to nurture baby’s ability to learn, think, love and grow. “We are very serious about our goals and are taking our commitment an additional step further by showing the power of multi-sensorial experiences in daily rituals, such as bath time. What this means for us in the Global Franchise Organization is that every JOHNSON’S® product is specially designed with baby in mind and meets our BEST FOR BABY™ standards, which is backed by the best science,” shares Michael Wasden, Senior Marketing Manager, JOHNSON’S® Global Franchise Organization.

We encourage moms and dads to spend more quality time with their babies, especially during bath time. Make bath time mean so much more. To know more about Johnson’s and how you can enhance your baby’s bath time experience, visit www.johnsonsbaby.com/somuchmore.

Valianz, Valsartan and Amlodepine in 1

Last night’s event with InnoGen was a blast there are a lot of doctors and partners (plus us Media people) who attended the event. The event is about the launch of their newest medicine, Valianz. The product launch theme entitled FLOW represents the life sustaining fluid flowing in the human body called BLOOD. The amount of blood that flows in the body is approximately 5 liters.
This volume of blood that transports the nutrients needed by the body exerts pressure in the veins and arteries. Too much pressure results into a condition known as hypertension. To address this condition, InnoGen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is introducing a new anti-hypertensive medicine which is a combination of two proven molecules, an Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB) and Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB).
This new product will enable physicians and patients to bridge the gap between EFFICACY and AFFORDABILITY in hypertension therapy. It will also improve the patients’ adherence to the medication, improving quality of life and ensuring success in therapy. Valianz is very affordable at P45 for the highest dosage and P29.50 for the lowest dosage
