What's up Philippines

I was one of those lucky people who got invited to witness one great day for ARIEL, a leading detergent powder brand here in the Philippines. What is the event about? Let me tell you what happened on this very adventurous day. ARIEL launched a campaign in cooperation with the upcoming festivity in Angono, Rizal which is the Higantes Festival, thus the event title,  "ARIEL Higanteng Linis Higanteng Fiesta". ARIEL prepared a sumptuous free lunch for 1,000 people who would register on that day. Upon arrival, I already saw the stage set-up and the super long lines of tables covered with very clean and white table linens, at the entrance area, people were starting to line up for registration despite the scorching heat of the sun and mind you, it was a Pacquiao fight day, so most probably everyone who was there were excited to partake on a free lunch, plus free Ariel shirts, loads of fun, neighbor bonding and the free concert by Rocksteddy that will happen in the afternoon, not bad...

We were invited for an afternoon of Desserts in a Chinese Restaurant, funny thing I thought that the Resto is hosting the event because they wanted to feature their desserts but I was wrong. When I came inside the function room, I felt the joy of a little girl when I saw the candy buffet, a teenager who can just dig-in to any cake on the other end of the table (there were like 3 cakes waiting), and wanted to be a bride once more upon glancing at their designed layered cake. Mixed emotions plus for those of you who knows me, well I love pink so the set up was almost everything pink... I am in pink heaven. Drooling now? All of these were prepared by Hearts And Bells, a cake company which started just at home and now has been gaining a lot of customers plus they will soon open their shop infront of Lucky China Town Mall in Manila. What interest me the most was they can do a sketch for your cake, you know when you have those many things and designs goiung through your mind but just can...

Community welcomes arrival of clean toilets in “Fiesta” video It’s a scene typically played out during fiestas: People rushing to the streets, drawn to the sound of a marching band. Everyone is smiling, eager to see the “star” of the celebration. But instead of showing the face of a movie celebrity, a beauty queen or a politician, the video reveals an unlikely, yet welcome sight—a new, clean toilet facility. Aptly titled “Fiesta”, the Domex video, produced by Unilever Philippines, is available on Youtube and shows how underprivileged Filipinos welcome the “arrival” of clean toilet facilities in their communities. “The video aims to make people realize the value of a toilet which most of us, unfortunately, take for granted,” said Dennis Chua, Domex Brand Manager. The “Fiesta” video contributes to the efforts of Domex’s One Million Clean Toilets Movement. Each unique view translates into a pledge for the advocacy campaign which collects pledges from households to conscientiously maintain...
