The Chinese New Year, a special non-working day, is
celebrated by most Filipinos by displaying round fruits, wearing ubiquitous red
garments, and gathering together for sumptuous meals.
But while enjoying a relaxed ambiance with families and
friends and feasting on delicious food is ideal, it need not be expensive.
Seascape Village, a dining complex with restaurants and a wet market, boasts of
having the most diverse and freshest seafood supply in the metro – one that is
easily accessible and reasonably priced.
“Most people think that just because we offer premium experience, dining here is already expensive. Actually, what Seascape Village offers is the best value for money for all the guests. We have a wide array of restaurants to choose from that will fit everyone’s palate and budget,” said Christine Suntay, Seascape Village marketing and events head.
Celebrate the Lunar New Year with feasts of the country’s freshest seafood only at Seascape Village. The wide array of restaurants offers a variety of dishes that will satiate everyone’s cravings.
On February 4 and 5, Chinese New Year’s Eve and Chinese New Year, respectively, Seascape will be having traditional Chinese performances, dragon and lion dances, fireworks display, and Feng Shui reading.
While giving guests an authentic seafood market
experience – complete with tanks full of live seafood and the traditional
haggling for lower prices – Seascape Village has evolved this experience into
something better. The dining destination inside the CCP Complex has beefed up
measures to ensure the security of its guests, wide parking spaces and valet
service for convenience, and an exciting mix of restaurants.
Located along the coast of Manila, Seascape Village also offers one of the most beautiful views of the unparalleled Manila Bay sunset.
Usher in the Year of the Earth Pig at Seascape Village while indulging in the freshest seafood from around the country. Live lobsters, crabs, fish, even groupers, are available at affordable prices.
“With our guests always our top priority, we have ensured
that only the freshest produce are sold here at Seascape Village, if not live,
these produce are flown in fresh from various parts of the country. We also
have our own ice production facility to keep cold products cold,” said Suntay.
Seascape Village brings together the treasures of the
Philippine seas – from shellfish sourced in Roxas, among others, to crabs and
lobsters from the Pacific coast, to groupers from the Visayas, tuna from
Mindanao and everything in between, including the majestic view of the setting
sun on the horizon of Manila Bay. Truly, it is an experience no other dining
destination can offer.
“The best way to experience Seascape Village is to come
and visit us and see and taste for themselves what we offer,” said Suntay.
Seascape Village is located between Sofitel Philippine Plaza and the Manila Film Center at the CCP Complex in Pasay City.

Integrated Nutrition and Health
Actions in the First 1,000 Days of Life Program to benefit 40,000 children
under-5 and 57,000 pregnant/lactating women in Samar, Northern Samar and
Zamboanga del Norte
Korea
International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and UN children’s agency UNICEF, in
partnership with the Department of Health and National Nutrition Council,
launch an integrated nutrition and health program targeting the first 1,000
days of life to benefit vulnerable children and women in Samar, Northern Samar, and Zamboanga del Norte.
“The Korean Government fully supports the Philippine government in its goal of addressing malnutrition and achieving universal healthcare. By giving assistance to this project, the most vulnerable – mothers and children ages 0-5 years old – will be ensured access to vital health and nutrition services which will help them develop fully later in life,” says Ambassador HAN Dong-Man, Korean envoy to the Philippines.
The
support from KOICA amounts to US$6 million and targets 19 local government
units in three provinces, namely Samar and Northern Samar in Region VIII and
Zamboanga Del Norte in Region IX. Expected reach through the initiative will be
12,000 infants 0-5 months old,
36,000 6-23 months old – including children from poor families and children
from geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas – and 57,000
pregnant and lactating women.
It also aims to improve the LGU’s policy, governance frameworks and service
delivery systems and enhance the capacity of 1,370 nutrition and health
personnel.
“We thank
the Korean government for supporting the Filipino child’s right to survive and
thrive. Supporting interventions at the local level is important to reach every
vulnerable mother and child especially those who do not have access to
essential services,” UNICEF Philippines Representative Lotta Sylwander says.
Technical
support at the national level is expected to reach an estimated 14 million children
under five years of age including acutely malnourished children, premature
newborns, an estimated 3.5 million pregnant
women, and 3 million lactating women in 17
regions across the country.
The
project aims to: a) establish a more responsive
enabling policy environment at the national and local level that supports the
comprehensive approach to maternal, infant and child nutrition and health in
the critical first 1,000 days window;
b) strengthen systems for the delivery of quality and comprehensive nutrition
and health services for the first 1,000 days provided to women, newborns and
children; and c) improve knowledge, attitudes
and practices of pregnant women, mothers and caregivers in the 19 project areas
on maternal and child nutrition and health.
Under-nutrition
in the Philippines remains a serious problem. The damage to health, physical
growth and brain development of children affected by chronic
under-nutrition—stunting in the first two years—is often irreversible,
impairing children for life and leaving them with lower chances of finishing
school and becoming highly-productive adults. Stunting, iron and iodine
deficiencies impact learning abilities and intelligence of children. Studies
show that populations affected by iodine deficiency have 10 – 15 IQ points less
than those not affected.
A joint research by UNICEF Philippines and the National Nutrition Council (NNC) revealed that every $1 (P53) invested in interventions to combat child malnutrition and accompanying problems can save around $12 (P639) in foregone earnings or health expenditures – equivalent to a 12:1 benefit-cost ratio.
The Kalusugan and Nutrisyon ng Mag-Nanay Act,
more commonly known as First 1000 Days Law, was approved by the end of 2018 and
heralds the beginning of more concerted efforts by the national and local
government, donors, and civil society.

Do you consider investing products to trusted Companies that protect you and your valuable goods in general which may be exposed to perils of the ocean during a voyage or for a period of time from original location to its destination?
For me, it is necessary to buy or invest products to a company that provides quality services not only for a profit business purposes but more on satisfying the needs of both parties.
Everyone of us has the ability to choose products and services that could meet or satisfy the needs of both buyers and sellers using our basic or extraordinary instinct. Nowadays, Local and Multinational Companies are using traditional and modern technologies or both techniques to develop, create and invent local and innovative products & services to cater or sustain the needs of humanity. More often than not, companies with frequent transactions of delivering their goods through cargos are investing products that protect against navigation risk which may be exposed to perils of the sea for a period of time.
However, it is important for us to identify the cost, nature and quality of the product that we’ll going to invest today or in the future. To give you an idea of this product, let me share to you the legal definition of marine insurance as stated in Presidential Decree No. 612 as follows:
Sec. 99. Marine Insurance includes:
(1) Insurance against loss of or damage to:
(a) Vessels, craft, aircraft, vehicles, goods, freights, cargoes, merchandise, effects, disbursements, profits, moneys, securities, choses in action, evidences of debts, valuable papers, bottomry, and respondentia interests and all other kinds of property and interests therein, in respect to, appertaining to or in connection with any and all risks or perils of navigation, transit or transportation, or while being assembled, packed, crated, baled, compressed or similarly prepared for shipment or while awaiting shipment, or during any delays, storage, transhipment, or reshipment incident thereto, including war risks, marine builder’s risks, and all personal property floater risks;
(b) Person or property in connection with or appertaining to a marine, inland marine, transit or transportation insurance, including liability for loss of or damage arising out of or in connection with the construction, repair, operation, maintenance or use of the subject matter of such insurance (but not including life insurance or surety bonds nor insurance against loss by reason of bodily injury to any person arising out of ownership, maintenance, or use of automobiles);
(c) Precious stones, jewels, jewelry, precious metals, whether in course of transportation or otherwise;
(d) Bridges, tunnels and other instrumentalities of transportation and communication (excluding buildings, their furniture and furnishings, fixed contents and supplies held in storage); piers, wharves, docks and slips, and other aids to navigation and transportation, including dry docks and marine railways, dams and appurtenant facilities for the control of waterways.
(2) “Marine protection and indemnity insurance,” meaning insurance against, or against legal liability of the insured for loss, damage, or expense incident to ownership, operation, chartering, maintenance, use, repair, or construction of any vessel, craft or instrumentality in use of ocean or inland waterways, including liability of the insured for personal injury, illness or death or for loss of or damage to the property of another person.
One of the trusted Companies that provides Marine Insurance is the Malayan Insurance Co., Inc., a leading non-life insurance company in the Philippines that is Founded in 1930. Malayan offers its client and the public guaranteed peace of mind through service excellence, quality insurance protection, and the prompt processing and settlement of just and valid claims.
Malayan Insurance provide insurance policies that protect you against navigation risks to which a ship, cargo, freight, profits or even interests on movable properties. Your cargo, Malayan can insure you against perils of the sea such as lightning, damage due to heavy weather, sinking, fire/burning, stranding/ grounding, typhoon, collision, tsunami, barratry, piracy and jettison.
At the end of the day, if you are an entrepreneur or businessmen it is important to invest or acquire marine insurance that will meet the requirements for the growth & success of the business operations of your company.
