    College of the Holy Spirit Manila launches the Center for Continuing Education

    The century-old College of the Holy Spirit Manila is up for bigger, bolder things in its fold. Adapting to the changing landscape of the academe, while sustaining fine traditions of the school, College of the Holy Spirit Manila (CHSM) looks forward to implementing new, exciting programs and initiatives, ongoing renovation, upgrades of the school grounds and facilities.

    College of the Holy Spirit Manila is now under new management by the Holy Spirit Alumni Management Corporation (HSAMC) composed of 14 alumnae and one non-alumnae who is well-recognized in the education field.

    Known for Values Education, College of the Holy Spirit Manila is taking an even higher step in its commitment to provide learning opportunities, enhance professional skills & make better, more responsible members of the society.

    In this line, the Alumni Management Corporation spearheads the launching of the Center for Continuing Education (CCE) of the College of the Holy Spirit Manila.

    The Center for Continuing Education, is primarily offering short non- degree courses starting with Language and Social Enterprise Courses.

    Recently CCE embarks on a journey with the introduction of Social Entrepreneurship and what better way to create stronger awareness than hold a symposium having social entrepreneurs sharing their first hand experiences.

    “2016 Symposium on Social Entrepreneurship” is aimed to share insights and milestones as to how Social Entrepreneurship has dramatically changed and continues to make a positive social impact on the Philippines and the whole of ASEAN region – why it is regarded as the springboard to drive new opportunities and catalyst for innovation. It will have as its speakers, two of the country’s prime-movers in Social Entrepreneurship- Mr. Henry Motte-Muñoz, Founder of Edukasyon.ph and Ms. Terri Jayme Mora, Country Manager of Ashoka Philippines. This will be held at the Paraclete Auditorium of the College of the Holy Spirit Manila.

    Another highlight of the activity is the blessing and opening of the new Advocafe, a non-profit and social enterprise in support to the Indigenous Peoples, which is also situated within the grounds of the school. Advocafe is definitely not just your ordinary coffee shop which you can easily find around the Metro as majority of the products being sold at the store are all natural and organic tea and coffee bean products were results of the hardwork and efforts of the lumads, IPs, and the Igorots from the respective communities all over the Philippines.

  • Quick microwave cooking that is not only healthy but cost-efficient as well

    Quick microwave cooking that is not only healthy but cost-efficient as well

    There’s no need for the chef in you to feel unaccomplished when you prepare home-cooked meals with a microwave. Given that microwave-prepared food are quick and easy to make and actually healthier to eat (more on that later), Midea Microwave Ovens are also very wallet-friendly.

    But to get a clearer picture of its advantages, and since school season is in full swing, here is a hearty two-minute microwave French Toast recipe that your kids can enjoy eating without you breaking a sweat preparing.

    You’ll need to cube two slices of bread and place those pieces in a mug. Separately, prepare a bowl that contains a combination of one egg and three tablespoons of milk, topped with a dash of cinnamon. Pour that egg mixture into the mug and press down the bread cubes so it can fully absorb the liquid. Microwave for one minute, and then ten seconds at a time until fully cooked, then you’re set.

    Again, this meal only requires two minutes of preparation time. In the world of the hectic morning rush when both you and your child are trying to make it to the office and school on time, spending only two minute on a task should feel like heaven.

    On top of that, meals like this, that are prepared with a microwave not only retain its nutrients better but also obviously requires no oil, reducing fat by 10% versus frying, which means it’s healthier.

    These innate microwave benefits of quick and healthy cooking are definitely also present in Midea Microwave Ovens. But what makes the deal even sweeter is its economical “Piso Meal” feature.

    At just P1 worth of electric operating cost, users can cook with Midea Microwave Ovens for three minutes—the usual amount of time it requires to microwave-cook most meals. Of course, that means the two-minute microwave French Toast presented earlier costs even less than P1.

    This feature is available in both the mechanical and digital formats of Midea Microwave Ovens. Named after each product’s control feature, the Mechanical Microwave Oven has a push-button door opening method and operates with an output power of 700W with a standard voltage of 220V/60h. It comes in silver and white.

    Meanwhile, the Digital Microwave Oven, which features a pull door opening method, operates with the same standard voltage but with an output power of 900W.

    Under the fast-paced life we live in, there’s no time to settle for the ineffective and the inefficient. So the next time your child hears the recess bell, make sure what he pulls out of the lunch box is not only healthy, but prepared without a fuss.
