Called to Rescue spends Love Day with Children in Kidzania Manila

15 February 2018March 28, 2018Ruel UmaliLeave a comment

In celebration of this year’s Valentine’s season, Called to Rescue, a non-profit, worldwide organization dedicated to the rescuing of minor children from sex trafficking, violence, and abuse, recently held the Love Day event at Kidzania Manila together with children under the “Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program” (4Ps) from different barangays in Taguig.

Love Day, organized by Called to Rescue, in partnership with communications and social agency ComCo Southeast Asia and McDonald’s Philippines, is dedicated to giving underprivileged children a memorable time in which they can be themselves – as young, playful and carefree kids and dream for their future.

Called to Rescue founder Dr. Cyndi Romine shared, “Children are dreamers and learners and as much as everyone wants to see children learn and enjoy at the same time, let us not forget that there are still other kids who are being abused, trafficked and abducted. Between 1.2 million and 1.8 million children are being trafficked each year world-wide according to the International Labor of Organization.”

This is where the mission of Called to Rescue comes in – to help create and keep a safe environment for children. Called to Rescue aims to help protect and save every child who is a victim of abuse, violence and human trafficking and everyone can be a part of this cause by becoming heroes and bringing hope to children.

“We have the power to create a safe environment for kids and this is possible only if we work together. There are plenty of ways to help – you can volunteer, spread awareness about the cause, sponsor or donate to programs and report abuses against children,” added Dr. Romine.

Called to Rescue Officer-in-Charge Anthony Pangilinan and celebrity advocates Donny Pangilinan, RJ dela Fuente and Quest were present during the Love Day event at Kidzania Manila and shared inspirational talks and performances.

Kidzania Manila is the perfect place for children to experience and role-play their dream jobs like being a fireman, cabin crew, or doctor. Kidzania Manila gives the children the opportunity to explore and learn while having fun.

You can be part of the solution. You are called rescue. Report trafficking, abuse, and cases of missing children to the Called to Rescue local hotline at 0917-541-0287 or visit their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/Called2RescuePh/ or website at calledtorescue.com.ph.

Far Eastern University chronicles bravery in building an academic legacy

10 February 2018February 11, 2018Ruel UmaliLeave a comment

Far Eastern University (FEU) gathers its alumni, faculty and members of administration, stakeholders, family, and friends to witness the premiere of the documentary Be Brave at the Ayala Museum.

The film is about FEU and the legacy of its founder Dr. Nicanor Reyes as told through his daughter Dr. Lourdes Reyes Montinola. It retells the vision and determination of the man who contributed to the development of the country by helping pave the way to making quality education accessible to Filipinos.

“It is our founder’s aspiration that his school’s graduates would enjoy rewarding careers that promote the country’s economic growth. This was the reason behind his choices of accountancy, law, and medicine as flagship academic programs. FEU was also first to offer night classes to provide more opportunities for students to learn,” says the school’s current President Dr. Michael Alba.

The documentary reveals more of these important milestones that influenced our current education system. John Silva, a history expert and proponent of Philippine arts and culture, gives his commentary and shares his insights on FEU’s role in society.

“Dr. Nicanor Reyes was a visionary and innovator. He introduced ideas that encouraged holistic learning,” says Atty. Gianna Montinola, VP for Corporate Affairs. “During these times that challenge our resilience and conviction, we are reminded of the legacy and noble dream of our founder. It is our hope that through Be Brave, today’s generation and the next will appreciate the true value of education.”

Be Brave premieres in time with the university’s 90th founding anniversary.

2 February 2018February 3, 2018Ruel UmaliLeave a comment

It’s no surprise that going organic may have multiple benefits that help us lead more healthy lives. Taking the more natural approach or ‘going green’ has even been proven to help conserve the environment and improve the lives of farmers. Indeed, the organic lifestyle is steadily increasing in popularity among more and more Filipinos. With the recent launch of an organic milk brand in the market, Filipino moms now have the option to provide their children with better nutrition that will help develop their minds and bodies.

Wyeth Nutrition debuts the new Promil® Organic in a fun-filled and informative launch at Palazzo Verde in Las Pinas, gathering moms, trade partners and subject-matter experts. The latest innovation from the leading nutrition firm is made from the best of nature and expertly designed to nurture children’s gifts.

“Promil, moms’ trusted partner for the past 30 years, recognizes the growing needs of moms to provide a healthier foundation for their child through the organic lifestyle. We developed Promil® Organic to address the growing demand for organic products. It is made from 100% organic dairy milk from certified organic European farms,” says Theresa Chong, Marketing Director, Wyeth Philippines Inc.

Promil® Organic contains docosahexaeonic and arachidonic acid (DHA & AA) and is also a source of zinc and selenium to support brain and body development. It is the only organic formula milk expertly designed with these key nutrients.

According to surveys, the global organic food and beverage market is expected to reach USD 211.44 billion by 2020. More people are realizing the benefits of organic consumption and that they can still meet their daily dietary needs.

Proud moms Andi Manzano, Cat Ledesma, and Hindy Weber Tantoco hosted the event, sharing their own inspiring stories about motherhood to encourage parents to try an organic lifestyle. “We are proud to be joined by these women who pursue a healthy lifestyle,” says Patricia Cuna, Brand Manager for Promil® Organic. “They are dedicated mothers who only want the best for their children. We hope that their support could help us to inspire more parents to try a healthier lifestyle for their family, starting with Promil® Organic.”
