    Jolly Empowers Home Cooks By Feeding Their Creativity In The Kitchen

    They say the easiest way to someone’s heart is through the stomach. For many homemakers, especially moms, this is very much true the moment they step into the kitchen. One simply gets an unexplainable feeling when you put the time and effort into preparing something special for the people who matter to you the most. The same also goes, of course, if you’re at the receiving end of such a selfless effort.

    While moms are real geniuses in the kitchen, however, there are also some downtimes when inspiration can run low. Fortunately, Jolly is here to curb that challenge for our home cooks. As the leading brand of packed fruit and vegetable products, Jolly brings convenience straight into our pantries by giving us easy access to fresh ingredients. The brand—which was born from the vision of empowering homemakers and unlocking their creative potential in the kitchen—has continuously enabled this by providing freshly packed fruits and vegetables straight into our pantries. This convenience, combined with the high quality of its products, has made Jolly a market leader in its industry and a top choice among home cooks.

    To prove this, we had some moms take on the challenge of creating something special for their loved ones using some of Jolly’s best-sellers. Stephanie Lontoc of StefTheMomma shared one classic dish that never fails to impress her family—Creamy Beef with Mushrooms made with beef sirloin and her go-to Jolly Mushrooms and Jolly Cream of Mushroom Soup! It’s the perfect dish to make if you want to impress without spending too much time in the kitchen as it can only take thirty minutes to prep and cook! Watch her quick recipe here to cop it.

    Dyosa The Momma is another big fan of the tatak Jolly love. For her, she loves how she can still make healthy but also affordable dishes that never fail to be big hits for her family. One of her go-to recipes is Pork Picadillo which is perfect for all types of occasions . The dish is colorful, easy to make, and most of all, delicious and healthy. Go watch her recipe here

    (video link: https://www.facebook.com/dyosathemomma/videos/1317862722317855)

    For the recipe, she used Jolly Premium Sliced Mushrooms, Jolly Green Peas and Jolly Garbanzos to make sure that the dish is bursting with flavor and nutrition. More than the convenience and easy access to these ingredients, she also loves how Jolly makes everything easier for the budget.

    “With a growing family, dapat mas mindful na tayo sa gastos. Kaya hindi dapat mahal ang delicious meals. Konting creativity lang, pwedeng i-level up ang delicious meal. Kapag nabibigay mo ang sarap at sustansya, yan ang Jolly Love.”

    Versatility is also something that’s very important in the kitchen. Thankfully, with easy access to fresh ingredients, you will never run out of dishes to try. The Peach Kitchen proves this by creating her version of Ginataang Gulay using Jolly products . She shares, “Isa sa paraan natin ng pagpaparamdam ng pagmamahal natin sa pamilya natin ay ang pagluluto natin para sa kanila. Kaya naman as much as possible gusto natin na masarap at healthy ang hinahanda natin para sa kanila.”

    Check out her recipe below: (video link: https://www.facebook.com/PeachKitchen/videos/1812729012435899/ )

Still the undisputed leading brand of freshly packed fruits, vegetables, and other pantry essentials, it continues to fulfill its promise of empowering home cooks by expanding their creativity in the kitchen through its wide range of products.

  • Intellectual property law enforcement, student academic groups, publishers sign statement of cooperation against content piracy

    Intellectual property law enforcement, student academic groups, publishers sign statement of cooperation against content piracy

    Rex Education hosted a press conference recently, bringing together key organizations committed to educating people about piracy and stopping the illegal reproduction and distribution of copyrighted content.

    Present at the event were leaders and representatives from the Philippine Association of Law Schools, the Association of Law Students of the Philippines, , the Legal Education Board, the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines, the National Book Development Board, the Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations of the Philippines, the National Bureau of Investigation, Association of Administrators in Hospitality Hotel and Restaurant Management Educational Institution, the Philippine Librarians Association, the Philippine Council of Deans and Educators in Business, the Philippine Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, Philippine Association for Teachers and Educators, Professional Criminologists Association of the Philippines, Association of Christian Schools, Colleges and Universities and the Philippine Educational Measurement and Evaluation Association.

    Piracy is defined as the unauthorized reproduction and distribution of copyrighted content, including but not limited to books, movies, music, and the like. In the Philippines, anti-piracy legislation is strengthened by Republic Act 8293 or the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines that protects and secures the exclusive rights of scientists, inventors, artists and other gifted citizens to their intellectual property and creations.

    The press conference is a part of REX’s anti-piracy campaign, which was launched last September 16, 2022 at the Manila International Book Fair. The primary objective of the campaign is to curb, if not eradicate, content piracy by educating, communicating, and instilling among our colleagues, families, and children a true appreciation of the value of one’s own work. REX’s efforts in this direction are also in recognition and support of the relentless hard work of intellectual property law enforcement agencies in the country.

    “We should continue to educate, communicate, and instill among our colleagues, families, and children a true appreciation of the value of one’s own work. In this sense, we are all duty-bearers. But above that, we are Filipinos,” said Atty. Dominador Buhain, chairman of Rex Education. “ Aside from our laws, what also binds us are our values, our sense of pakikipagkapwa, of pagpapakatao, our pride in our own work, and our respect for each other and of each other’s work.”

    Over the past year, the campaign has gained the attention of various organizations with similar sentiments. Stakeholders from the education sector, along with consumers and learners, have all come together to express their support for the movement. Above all, there is a call to protect creators and all their intellectual property in all its forms.

    “Throughout our rich history, we recognize and respect one truth about what we do: We are able to accomplish so much because of our people. REX has immense pride for the talented and hardworking individuals who pour their creativity, knowledge, and skills in the development of our learning materials, and these are not limited to books,” said Atty. Dominador Buhain, chairman of Rex Education.

    (L to R) Jesus Manapat – National Bureau of Investigation, Stephen Floyd Abuso Gopez – Executive Vice president – Association of law students of the Philippines, Atty. Rowel Barba – Director – Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines, Dean Lilibeth Aragon – President – association of administrators in Hospitality, hotel and restaurant management educational institution and Atty. Dominador Buhain – Chairman Rex Education

    For more information regarding REX’s efforts, feel free to watch the “Proud Ako” anti-piracy campaign video that was launched at MIBF 2022. Visit www.rex.com.ph to support Rex Education in its endeavor of protecting the publishing industry.

  • 2023 Spartan Race Elite Series begins with Vermosa kick-off this February

    2023 Spartan Race Elite Series begins with Vermosa kick-off this February

    Sweat, swagger, and spirit converge once more as the country’s best obstacle athletes vie for race
    supremacy to banner this year’s Spartan Elite Series opener at the sprawling suburban city-estate of
    Vermosa in Imus, Cavite from February 17 to 18.

    The Battle of Vermosa features the inaugural 3K Elite Series on Day 1, triggering a gruelling yet glorifying
    test of physical power and mental toughness akin to the fabled Spartan warrior ethos of ancient Greece.
    Ninety (45 men and 45 women) Elite Athletes from all over Asia Pacific are expected to slug it out at
    Vermosa. They were invited based on their ranking and strong finish from previous Spartan races. Also
    in the roster are top athletes from universities and uniformed personnel, members of the national team
    which secured golds in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, the last time obstacle course racing was
    included in the biennial meet. Among the top racers invited are Guinness Book World Record Holders
    for OCR Sandi Abahan and Elias Tabac from the Philippines, Multi Trifecta holder Shen Max of China,
    Hiroki Asami and Honoka Jinzai of Japan, and Hansol Jang of Korea.

    “We invite everyone to witness the fastest and fittest athletes in obstacle course racing compete for the
    first ever 3K Elite Series in the world,” Marc Laurenze Celis, Spartan Race Philippines General Manager
    said. “These athletes will be competing for podium spots, awards, and cash prizes at an Olympic-like
    level for Obstacle Course Racing and a chance to represent their flag for the upcoming World
    Championship and The OCR Triple Crown this December”

    Day 2 headlines the Philippine National Series featuring age-group competitors around the country and
    open categories for beginners, enthusiasts, and casual athletes.

    “Sprint” challenges all comers to a blistering 5-kilometer run that highlights strength and speed to
    overcome 20 imposing obstacles towards the finish line. Dubbed “the first stop” to every Spartan’s
    journey, the Sprint hones a racer’s ability to finish the course in a short period of time. Some returning
    Spartans focus on the Sprint for years to enhance their running and clearing prowess.

    “Super” is a 10-kilometer stretch which equally measures the racer’s strength, endurance, speed, and
    timing against a 25-obstacle loop. It’s one of the most demanding runs in the Spartan circuit that
    requires a pace strategy to conquer duration and elevation.

    “Hurricane Heat” brings teamwork and leadership to the fore as racers, led by the Krypteia (event
    leaders), brave the elements and demolish self-doubt to rule the 4-hour challenge. There are no medals
    at stake in Hurricane Heat but the ultimate grind-out primes every racer to achieve personal evolution
    after acing physical tasks, problem solving, leadership challenges and solo performance tests under
    extreme conditions.

    Also in the pipe is the 10-kilometer Super Classic Elite and 5-kilometer open Sprint. Just a month later,
    the Sparta Series moves to Cebu for the Trail 10k and Trail 21k on March. 18. On May 26, Spartans
    assemble anew in Alviera, Pampanga for the Beast event, alongside the Sprint and Trail 10k jousts,
    respectively. On July 16, Spartan Race returns to New Clark City in Tarlac for the Stadion. Baguio will
    then play host to all Spartans for the Trailfecta Weekend and Hurricane Heat 12 Hour. The Spartan Race
    Series wraps up its calendar with the Trifecta Weekend at Montclair, Pampanga from November 18 to 19.
