          I was one of the privileged to attend a briefing about the ATIENZA NATURALE MALUNGGAY CAPSULE and the product launch of ATIENZA NATURALE TURMERIC CAPSULE. It was quite a relaxing place, surrounded by greens and glass doors and windows provided sufficient amount of light to brighten the mood. The place was Santiago Restaurant in Katipunan, Quezon City.




We were welcomed by Angela Lei Atienza ValdepeƱas who happens to be the co-owner of ATIENZA NATURALE and also the sister of the famed TV personality Kuya Kim Atienza. The company was established back in 2011 with the goal of providing Filipinos with high-quality affordable health and wellness herbal-based dietary supplements and skincare products. Dr. Reiner Mozo shed light on the benefits of the two said products and the studies conducted to test its effectiveness.



  
ATIENZA NATURALE MALUNGGAY CAPSULE

Moringa Oleifera is the scientific name of Malunggay and is loaded with Vitamins A, B, C, and minerals. It also boasts of Methionine and Cystine which are sulfur-containing amino acids 



What makes malunggay the wonder gulay?

Malunggay is best known for its antioxidant properties which prevents aging and can help prevent diseases such as  cancer, arthritis, heart and kidney diseases

Malunggay is considered "Mother's best friend" because it can help lactating mothers produce milk for breastfeeding. 




It helps lower blood pressure, relieves pain from migraines, headaches, and Rheumatism. Aside from the heart and kidney, the liver and spleen problems can also be treated.
Here's the good news! All the benefits of Malunggay leaves can now be enjoyed through each capsule of Atienza Naturale which contains 500mg of pure and fresh Malunggay that is encapsulated using vegetable capsules. That's a convenient way of consuming your daily recommended Vitamins, Calcium, Iron, and antioxidants.

In 2014, physicians at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) – Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center (OMMC)’s Department of Internal Medicine and Intensive Care Unit embarked on a landmark study presenting the potential use of malunggay as a natural alternative to standard preparations used for lowering and regulating blood sugar. To ensure that the malunggay in the study was administered in standardized doses, the research team opted to use Atienza Naturale Malunggay Capsules, as it featured the purest form of the herb in a medium that could be taken conveniently. According to Doctors Rainier Nery Mozo and Imelda Caole-Ang, an extract derived from malunggay was instrumental in reducing Hemoglobin A1c, a key indicator in the level of blood glucose, in a control group of 60 patients at the OMMC. The study showed a mean reduction of 0.6% in the blood glucose of involved patients after regular dosage of malunggay capsules.

Solane, the country’s leading LPG solutions provider, recently held firefighting training sessions for its bulk and commercial customers at its LPG plants in San Fernando, Pampanga and Canlubang, Laguna. 

The event aimed to educate customers on fire prevention awareness, proper use and handling of fire extinguishers, LPG storage and handling, and standard operating procedures in the prevention and management of possible fire-related activities. 

Supported by the local Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), the fire fighting training programs are implemented and conducted continuously as part of Solane’s commitment to safety.

The thrust to make kids learn and love math is becoming an impassioned cause for the people behind Seriously Addictive Math (S.A.M.) - the program that is making a difference in many parts of the world including the Philippines.


Its beginnings traced back in 2010, S.A.M. is a multi-awarded international Singapore math enrichment program that has grown to more than 100 facilities spanning 16 countries, including the USA, Canada, Australia, Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore. This is the only Singapore Maths Enrichment program that originated from Singapore, and taught in Singapore.
The company was founded by two individuals, Samuel Chia and Lau Chin Loong, who are passionate about child education and have the intention of bringing the best and most successful mathematics curriculum to children around the world.

In the Philippines, there are already 16 S.A.M. centers in operation, traversing various regions.
After the first branch was opened in San Juan, succeeding centers were opened in Marikina, Enderun College at Bonifacio Global City and West Avenue QC. SAM’s learning facilities can also be found in Angeles City, Pampanga; Binangonan, Rizal; Tanauan, Lipa and Rosario in Batangas; Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, and Davao. 



With a growing number of students wanting to enroll their kids in SAM, four more centers are set to open soon: White Plains, Lower Bicutan, Imus in Cavite and Zamboanga.
According to Hsien Naidu, Founder of Enrich Asia Pte Ltd, the company which brought SAM to the Philippines, more and more Filipino parents have started appreciating Singapore Math for the positive effect it has had on their children. 

One of the most distinct advantages of SAM is its small class ratio, and the belief in not spoon feeding children the methods and answers. It does not teach through rote learning and memorization but rather focuses on conceptually understanding using individualize teaching and concrete examples. S.A.M. inculcates independent learning, diligence and discipline as it inoculates conceptual understanding and critical thinking. S.A.M’s principles also aid a child in resolving non-routinary, open-ended and real-life situations and problems.

As kids have started to embrace math because of S.A.M., parents have also started to realize the benefits of S.A.M. on their children. Erni Hayati, whose child is enrolled in S.A.M’s center in Marikina, remarked: “My son used to hate math because his teacher taught the subject so fast that he could barely understand. But just after attending a few sessions at S.A.M., he started to like it more and has now even shown genuine interest in math.”
With more and more people believing in how S.A.M. works, Hsien believes the negative stigma of math will shift on a more positive note and will equip them better as they go thru life’s various challenges.

If you’re interested to enroll your kids at S.A.M., just visit their website at www.seriouslyaddictivemaths.com.ph or go to their facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/SAM.SingaporeMath.Philippines/



I am fond of riding the bicycle and it was my delight to hear that I can join an indoor bike challenge. Although it was in Pampanga, I did not hesitate to accept the invite. It was sponsored by San Marino Corned Tuna. Chili corned tuna, Tuna flakes, Tuna Paella, Tuna Fillet, Tuna Flakes hot and spicy, and Tuna Laing are among the many variants of this product which is rich in The omega 3 and 6 that is needed for a healthy heart.

It was the 24th of June and we rode a shuttle from Gateway in Araneta to get to Robinsons Starmills in San Fernando, Pampanga. Just like a school field trip, we sang songs along the way and ate snacks while traversing through the one and a half hour journey.

Upon arrival at the venue, we registered like everyone else and were each given a stub with a checklist wherein a reward of a San Marino corned tuna and a voucher for 2 boxing sessions at Elorde fight camp awaits us. Five tasks were to be completed:  

Food tasting
BMI (Body Mass Index) and BP (Blood Pressure) check
Diet Consultation
Kinect
Wii







The sixth task was not compulsory but it looks like everyone wanted to accomplish it. It was a photo session using the photo booth. Now, who would'nt like that?





As participants of the event, we had to undergo the BMI and BP check to make sure we are in good condition for the bike challenge. There were three sets of twenty participants for the indoor bike challenge. The first one started at 2:15pm, then we joined the bike challenge at 2:40pm and the last was at around half past three.



I had not attended an indoor bike activity and never expected it to be this much challenging and fun. There was a big screen in front which simulates the road, a lively music, and a celebrity coach named Nicki in front to guide us with the exercise.



Riding the bike is a complete body workout. As we were riding the stationary bicycle, we were instructed to do some push ups, bend sideways and forward, and many more. There was stretching at first, started pedalling slowly then faster and returning to slow again and ended with some stretching.



We all posed for some photographs with our Certificate of Participation, a tumbler,, and a voucher for free 10 Boxing Sessions. The highlight of the day was the race wherein the competitors had to beat each other for a period of twenty minutes. The goal was to have the greatest distance pedalled. We all certainly had a great time and I wish I can join the next one. I sure hope I muster the guts to join the race by then.




By the way, the next race will be on 9th of July, 2017 at Robinsons Metro East. The champion will be receiving Php30,000, First runner up is PhP20,000 and 2nd runner up is Php10,000. See you there!
