As the number of months under quarantine increases, so too does our craving for social gatherings and physical interactions. And while we do miss a lot of aspects in our lives before the pandemic, there are just some parts of it that we don’t—traffic, bumping into people we wish we wouldn’t, and the occasional awkward, sticky, and embarrassing social moments.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard we try, these things happen. So, with restrictions beginning to ease and with most people settling into the “new normal”, it would be a great time to remember all these tricky situations and come up with countermeasures to turn them from a tormenting memory into a memorable one.
Autocorrect
This is one of those technological innovations that prove to be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it brings convenience and ease of communication especially when you’re on-the-go, but on the other—and for some strange reason—it transforms mundane responses into very colorful ones. And this is especially true for Filipino users because autocorrect almost always transforms a Tagalog word into the nearest—and most inappropriate—English word.
A good comeback from this would be to acknowledge it, laugh it off, and even turn it into a fun banter. Also, make sure to re-read your messages before sending them. You wouldn’t want a simple “Thanks, tita” to turn into an obscene phrase you’d have to explain to your aunt.
Forgetting someone’s name
While there was an easy fix for this problem during quarantine—display names in video communication platforms—this tricky situation will still exist in the next normal. For this, you can play an old trick in the book by asking them to input their contact details on your phone or go digital and ask for their name on Facebook for a quick friend request.
Family reunions
Ah the famed Filipino family reunion where titos and titas just can’t help themselves from blurting out “compliments” on weight and relationship status. There are plenty of options to survive these events like being frank with your relatives or simply shrugging off their comments, but a fun and creative solution would be to clap back with sarcasm. Not only will it help diffuse the tension, but serve as an announcement that you are perfectly confident with who you are and that no one can mess with you.
Upset stomach
You’ve had a great morning so far. You woke up on time, you plotted your schedule for the day, and you were able to make yourself a great breakfast—something you haven’t done in ages. But while you’re on Grab car or in the meeting that just began, your stomach starts to feel uncomfortable and you find it hard to focus.
The best solution for this problem is to take a quality antidiarrheal medicine like Diatabs. Diatabs can easily take care of your stomach problems for you and give you the peace of mind you need when it comes to bowel trouble. What’s more is that Diatabs is a product of Unilab, a trusted brand in the country, so you can rest assured knowing that you are taking a quality tested and proven medicine for diarrhea.

Aside from guaranteed quality and safety—an assurance backed by data from regular quality tests that you’re not assured of by less established brands. Diatabs is more accessible to Filipinos as it can be bought in leading drugstores nationwide.
The COVID-19 pandemic’s wide-reaching and extraordinary effects particularly to public health and the medical field has, unfortunately, created other grave consequences that have come unnoticed. As focus, as of late, has been on the novel coronavirus, attention on other equally critical illnesses and diseases has seemingly taken a back seat.
Among these illnesses, the World Health Organization (WHO) identifies Tuberculosis or TB, Malaria, and HIV as the among the most serious. In fact, the WHO notes, TB claims 1.5 million lives a year, while NGO Frontline AID states that 38 million people live with HIV worldwide. Of this, 12.6 million or 33% have been unable to access HIV treatments during the pandemic induced lockdowns.
The impact of COVID-19 on HIV programs and patients
A report from UNAIDS reveals that one in four people living with HIV have reported problems with gaining access to important medications. Similarly, HIV programs are among those that have had disruptions in services, with up to 85% of existing programs affected based on a survey by The Global Fund, a partnership that mobilizes and invests funds to support programs towards AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
Of even greater concern, Frontline AIDS further observes, is how the coronavirus, alongside HIV and AIDS, has a greater impact on people who are already marginalized. Specifically, it is those most affected by HIV who will feel the brunt of the effects of the coronavirus, especially with how lockdowns and quarantines have made access to much-needed antiretroviral medicines, not to mention visits to hospitals and health centers, extremely difficult.
The importance of HIV protection and prevention
In light of the above situation, and in view of recent data from the DOH-Epidemiology Bureau that shows 2,818 newly-confirmed HIV-positive individuals from January to March of this year, protection from HIV is truly the best way forward.
Actively doing its part in informing the public on the importance of protection, preparedness and education regarding HIV is Durex. Through its latest multimedia Protection & Preparedness Education (PPE) campaign—featuring vlog collaborations, online university talks, and e-learning videos—Durex wants the public to be properly informed and kept safe from HIV during this pandemic. The public is also enjoined to visit Durex Philippines’ official Facebook Page and YouTube Channel, where they can be kept up-to-date and informed.
And since no one is invulnerable to catching HIV in these times, being prepared in encounters – to always come prepared – is a must. And clearly, as we all do our share in preventing the spread of COVID-19, we must also be responsible in protecting ourselves and others from catching HIV.
A successful campaign and advocacy of germ-free and protected hands starts with basic principles through basic education and training with discipline of each members of the family, a basic unit of the community.
If every Guardian will support Safe Arms Face Eyes Guardians United Against Rashes Diseases (SAFEGUARD), a brand of P&G that advocates germ-free and protected hands wanted to change the handwashing habits in the Philippines encouraged Filipinos to adopt a health handwashing practice will create a positive outcome of the lives of every person in the community.
The acronym of SAFEGUARD is my own idea inspired by reading and knowing the products of the said brand which have been popular and commonly use before and in my early age, even to this day for a healthy and beautifully living.
Currently, the brand collaborates with Shopee as e-commerce marketing guardian of Safeguard products offering discounts, freebies and rebates to their prospective and loyal customers.

Five Taiwan Excellence Award winners demonstrated their groundbreaking and state-of-the-art products for the dental materials and products industry during a virtual product launch called “Dentistry of Excellence” that took place recently.

According to the latest report by the World Health Organization (WHO), 30 percent of elderly people at age 65 and up in the world are toothless; thus, the demand for oral care products will continue to increase.
It is estimated that the global dental implant market demand will reach its peak in 2026, where business opportunities are expected to reach about US$570 billion. Dental materials made in Taiwan cover 94 percent of the entire global dentistry product line, and the output value is expected to reach US$10 billion by 2025. These figures clearly show the vaunted manufacturing power and might of Taiwan in this growing industry.
“The existing medical environment, advanced health insurance data system and electronic and automated mechanical integration technology are the great assets in this field. Over the past decade, products from Taiwan have shown the world its innovative and pioneering power and technological advancements in the dental industry.” said Leonor Lin, President and CEO of TAITRA, at this online product launch campaign.

During the product launch, the award-winning and leading company in the field of minimally invasive surgery EPED presented IRIS and SimEx, which provides super flexible and exceptionally customized solutions in dental training as well as dental impressions and dental curriculum. Saturn Imaging, which specializes in 3D diagnosis and implant planning software, on the other hand, showcased its ImplantMax that provides an all-in-one solution for guided implantology, ranging from digital treatment planning, surgical guide fabrication, to surgical guide verification. The all-in-one approach streamlines guided implantology and greatly increases the throughput of digital technology in implantation practice.

Meanwhile, Young Optics, which is engaged in research, design, manufacture and sales of optical components, presented its Digital Light Processing 3D Printer that offers stable printing materials with constant parameters where 12 models can be printed within 3 hours to meet dentists’ needs more efficiently.

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the issue of HIV and the dangers it brings, seems to have taken a backseat amidst everything that the whole world is experiencing right now. Yet, what people don’t seem to realize is that HIV is equally threatening as COVID-19. In the same way that we are told to wear masks and face shields, being properly educated, prepared, and protected against HIV is likewise critical in today’s times.
With this in mind, Durex launches its latest digital campaign dubbed as “Protection & Preparedness Education” or PPE in short. This timely initiative aims to heighten HIV awareness, stressing the constant relevance of safe sex and “Always Coming Prepared”—and that we must never let our guards down. Whether for singles or stay-at-home couples, using protection—which can provide necessary safeguards without limiting pleasure—is crucial, as health and wellness concerns continue to take front and center, during the ongoing pandemic.
Towards this end, Durex has lined-up a series of online events, headlined by the crew of Boys Night Out (BNO)—TonyToni, Slick Rick, and Sam YG—the campaign’s main ambassadors.
“With all that is happening during these trying times, we must not lose sight of the fact that HIV remains to be a serious concern, one that is as life-threatening as COVID-19,” says Durex Philippines. “The Always Come Prepared campaign of Durex therefore continues, made just as relevant and timely—in keeping with the situation by going online. We will keep on with our goal of educating the public about HIV Prevention, and that being prepared is always a must.”
Among the exciting and relevant activities to watch out for include an online staging of the University Townhall series featuring speakers from the medical field, psychology, HIV, and LGBTQIA+ awareness and advocacy; the launch of HIV Awareness E-Learning Videos that’s well suited for the shift towards online learning; and Vlog collabs with influencers and celebrities focused on fun, health and wellness activities.
