PAGTUTULUNGAN.ORG: Join Trick Or Treat for UNICEF

This Halloween, more than the screams and scares of this holiday, UNICEF also makes this day an opportunity to help other less privileged children of the world and save them from the real life horrors that made their lives unpleasant. This year, children and parents can now join to make Trick or Treat for UNICEF. 

How Trick or Treat for UNICEF began 

In 1950, a Pennsylvania minister, the Reverend Clyde Allison, and his wife Mary Emma were handing out treats to an endless parade of trick-or-treaters. The spectacle triggered conflicting emotions in the couple. Mary Emma turned to her husband and said: “It’s too bad we can’t turn this into something good.” Clyde replied: “We can.” 

Eventually, Allison’s children, friends, and fellow congregation members began going door-to-door, collecting coins for UNICEF in hand-painted milk cartons. Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF was born.

Beat Stress, Do The TRABAHUSTLE!

Hypertension, most commonly known as High Blood Pressure, is a chronic medical condition wherein the blood pressure is elevated. Some victims are unaware of its lurking presence in their system as their bodies show no clear symptoms of hypertension. If it remains unknown and untreated, it may damage the arteries or some vital organs. The slow and unnoticeable signs of hypertension make it the “silent but dangerous killer.”

According to the Department of Health, one in every four Filipino adults suffers from hypertension.[1] The most common victims of the disease are those who have heavy salt intake from snacks and processed food. This puts the heart and kidney at risk for diseases, as well as trigger diabetes.

As the number of hypertensive Filipinos rise every day, Novartis Care Philippines is more eager to push their campaign to prevent and control hypertension. In line with this advocacy, Novartis Healthcare Philippines is re-launching Trabahustle (Trabaho + Hustle) Moves Online Video Contest to highlight the importance of regular physical activity in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

MUSIC LYF: Callalily - Flower Power BlogCon and Listening Session

To tell you the truth, years ago, I was not a fan of Callalily, thinking that this would be just another band that gives a generic type of music for a generation, but then I was wrong. Giving myself to listen to the music that they make made me realize that these guys do make good OPM music.

Callalily consists of Kean Cipriano - Vocals,Tatsi Jamnague - Guitars, Aaron Ricafrente - Bass, and Lemuel Belaro - Drums. They were known for the songs Stars, Take My Hand, Magbalik, and  Pasan. Things might have became busy with the band with a lot of exposure to TV and vocalist Kean Cipriano also having acting roles in series and movies. His other bandmates also became busy with their other day jobs. Despite this set up, they still remain intact as a band and now has released a new album  entitled FLOWER POWER. Also this will be their new album as a they are now under Universal Records.
