  • Sangobion Reminds Filipinos On Optimum Blood Health With “Dugo’y Pagtibayin” Music Video with Sarah Geronimo

    Sangobion Reminds Filipinos On Optimum Blood Health With “Dugo’y Pagtibayin” Music Video with Sarah Geronimo

    It is in great times of uncertainties where the Filipino resilience has always triumphed. The world is made witness that even in the face of tragedies and calamities, Filipinos will endure with big smiles on their faces — and this is what inspired Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) to create an anthem that would resonate to this unfailing spirit.

    ‘Dugo’y Pagtibayin’ by Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) is a reminder to Filipinos that it is through our individual hope and strength that makes the collective power to rise amid this most trying time. Through the power of music to soothe the soul and with no less than Sarah Geronimo behind the song, this gives the melody a deeper meaning of how this nation can keep moving forward dahil sa lakas ng Dugong Pinoy.

    “Sulong dugong Pinoy, pagtibayin ang dugo natin.”

    Sarah is a believer of the power of music to uplift spirits, “For me, mahalaga ang music lalo na ngayon na may pinagdadaanan tayo. Music is very powerful, it’s the language of our soul… Iba yung nagagawa niyang pang-boost ng morale.”

    With her soulful performance of the song, Sarah brings to life the meaning of dugong Pinoy with her every lyric that shows how a nation’s strength is fueled by Filipinos who do not get weakened nor get tired easily.

    “Nung nalaman ko po na gagawa ako ng bagong kanta for Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+), I got excited. I know that it is going to be meaningful,” shares Sarah Geronimo.

    Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) put together this LSS-worthy and inspiring music video with the goal that as Filipinos start to go out of their houses more to serve their families and the nation, the more that they need to keep their blood health in check as one of the ways to keep the body healthy. Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) asks the nation, “Do you know how to maintain your blood health?” The ‘Dugo’y Pagtibayin’ music video raises the awareness on maintaining healthy blood to help keep immunity at its peak.

    Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) takes the action to educate more Filipinos to take charge of their health by sharing these three ways on how to maintain one’s blood health:

    1. Exercise regularly. Among the many benefits of exercising, when it comes to blood health, any exercise that can get the blood pumping even as simple as walking, is already beneficial to the body. The more the body moves, the more blood will be pumped around it. Good blood circulation helps the cells of immune system to move freely so they can function efficiently.

    2. Managing your stress better is one way to help improve your blood flow.

    3. Taking Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+). If you’re running on a hectic routine whether you’re just at home or out for work, taking Multivitamins significantly helps when the food you eat isn’t able to provide your body the nutrients and minerals it needs. Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) contains vitamins and minerals that helps to replenish iron stores and increases red blood cell levels in the body.

    Recommended intake is one to two capsules daily, during or after meals, or as prescribed by your doctor. Being proud to have a Dugong Pinoy means that you take charge of your overall health. Start by looking after your blood health to help keep your immune system at its peak.

  • Simple Ways to Up Curb Appeal

    Simple Ways to Up Curb Appeal

    When selling a house, one phrase that’s in the market is curb appeal. Everything is about curb appeal. Potential home buyers make snap decisions based on the outside appearance of the house, and while it may not be enough to make them walk on a house, they definitely take the curb appeal into consideration. For any potential seller, curb appeal is one of the most important things to make sure your home has plenty of. A seller wants a buyer to see the house and immediately feel at home, and having sagging or torn screens, dead plants, or dirty house paint are immediate signs of not properly taking care of a house. Luckily, there are simple ways to up curb appeal.

    1. Pressure wash the outside of the house and the driveway. Even if you think the house looks fine, take the time to either pressure wash it yourself or have it professional power washed. It is amazing the amount of dirt and grime that can come off of houses, and the house will stand out compared to the others in the neighborhood. Same goes for the driveway. Even if you think it’s a driveway and looks fine, take the time to pressure wash it and the walkway to the front door. Removing years of built-up dirt and grime will do wonders for making the house stand out compared to others in the neighborhood and on the market.
    2. Replace broken or torn screens. There’s nothing good looking about a torn window or patio screen. Take an inventory of your entire house, start with the porch and see if there are any panels that need to be replaced immediately. Then go through and check each window. As you are checking, if they appear dirty, go ahead and clean them up. If the porch panels are ripped or torn, they’ll need to be replaced immediately. Luckily, repairing torn porch screen panels is easier than ever and something that can be done DIY. Quality Window Screen offers aluminum porch screen panels that are perfect for keeping problem insects off the porch. They also have a variety of frame finishes so that the panels can match the house perfectly.
    3. Plant and weed. If there are flowerbeds, make sure that any dead plants are promptly pulled before the house is listed. Nothing says that a home isn’t well taken care of like dead plants outside. Fresh flowers and weeded flower beds look beautiful and showcase what the house can look like. Adding a layer of fresh mulch is also a great idea, as mulch can fade in the sun and not appear as vibrant after a few months. This shows that the home is well taken care of and allows buyers to more easily picture themselves living there.
    4. Repaint the front door. This is something homeowners may not think of, but repainting the door can add a fresh pop of color. Most doors get a lot of sun, and they also collect dirt and grime, so before painting make sure to wash the door off to remove any bugs and dirt. Then, choose a paint color in a shiny finish. Matte will cause the door to look dull, whereas a shiny finish will help it to really pop. Depending on the house color, homeowners may opt for a bright pop of color or a dark even black color to make the door stand out.
    5. Keep up with the yard. Don’t let the yard get overgrown while the home is on the market and take the time to mow and edge to ensure that all the overgrown grass is removed. One thing that no one wants to see when they pull up to a house is an overgrown yard. Even if you followed all the steps above, a messy yard can make them wonder if the house is well taken care of. If there are trees, make sure that the leaves that have fallen from it are fully raked up and that the yard looks trim and clean.

    Install a designed eco-friendly quality custom aluminum screen panels to your windows in your room(s) to keep safe and prevent of intruding by unnecessary living matters.

  • BPI encourages small business owners to use QR code cashless payment for security and convenience

    BPI encourages small business owners to use QR code cashless payment for security and convenience

    The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) recently rolled out its Cashless Negosyo webinar series in North Luzon, which aims to boost the ability of small entrepreneurs to adapt to the new reality as consumers turn to e-commerce due to quarantine constraints amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

    According to BPI, digital payments will aid small business owners to ensure personal, employee, and customer safety. This will help them abide by the government’s minimum health protocols, and enables them to offer their goods and services online or via delivery. It also allows them to reach as many customers despite quarantine restrictions.

    “BPI provides cashless payment option to small business owner or sole proprietor clients of the bank and help minimize if not eliminate waiting lines in their stores because their customers can just scan the QR code simultaneously to pay for their purchases. That is why for small business owners who will be generating their own QR code, it is important to make QR standees so that customers can check out faster,” said BPI Division Head for North Luzon, Marwin Galvez.

    BPI reiterated that cashless payments made via QR code is not only faster and safer, but is also more accurate than using electronic fund transfer as payment option because it’s less prone to typing erroneous details compared to doing fund transfer by inputting the 10-digit account number. It eliminates the risk of transferring money to a wrong account.

    BPI noted that from 70 percent in March this year, the number of transactions done digitally have now increased to 90 percent in November. More than half of its 8 million clients are also now registered to the bank’s digital platforms for their everyday banking needs. Small business owners may promote their cashless payment option to encourage and reassure customers that it is still safe to shop through this contact less payment method. “We encourage small business owners to make use of the QR code system as a way of protecting them and their clients as the market shifts to more online transactions and digital living in the new normal,” Mr. Galvez added.
