Serta Philippines Launches New iPedic Collection at SM Home

Honoring the importance of sleep to Filipinos’ well-being, SERTA Philippines celebrated World Sleep Day last Friday, March 14, at The SM Store in SM Aura, BGC, Taguig. Together with its brand ambassadors and quality sleep enthusiasts, SERTA Philippines ushered the celebration with the launch of its latest collection, which embodies comfort and style like no other.

“We are delighted to gather everyone once again as we celebrate World Sleep Day here in SM Aura, Taguig. Carrying this year’s theme ‘Your Well-Being Comes First’, let us showcase to everyone how SERTA can further amplify its call for quality sleep through its well-thought and innovative sleeping mattress, pillows, and more,” SERTA Philippines shared. “More than this celebration, we want to highlight the importance of taking our well-being seriously and how quality sleep can help improve our life in general.”

Led by SERTA Philippines executives, the launch was attended by owners and directors of the RCG Group of Companies, Fort Bonifacio’s barangay captain, Mr. Jorge Daniel Bocobo, The Belo Group’s Managing Director, Ms. Cristalle Belo-Pitt, and renowned TV host and actress Ms. Janice De Belen.

Your Mattress Matters

Renowned for its rejuvenating and cooling effect, SERTA Philippines unveiled its latest iPedic collection, which is set to take one’s sleep to the next level. Promoting cool and satisfying rest night after night, the iPedic collection has impressed many customers across the globe with its majestic beauty and cool atmosphere of the Alaska.

“I’m into fitness, wellness, health, and beauty. I practice beauty routines. I also have wellness routines, which include working out at least three to four times a week. But the most important wellness routine that we should always take into the is sleeping. I try to get a good and quality sleep every night, with at least eight hours of sleep to stay looking fresh and youthful,” shared Cristalle Belo-Pitt. “Unlike others who take supplements to get quality sleep, I just lay on my iPedic bed, and it’s a good night to me already.”

Guests who graced the event get a chance to personally feel and enjoy the comfort that the new iPedic collection has to offer. From its comfort features to ergonomic designs that could stand the test of time, SERTA’s newest iPedic collection is set to elevate one’s taste, style, and sleeping quality.

“I just recently had my SERTA mattress. Before having a SERTA mattress, all I knew was that as long as my bed was soft, and my pillows and beddings were clean, everything was okay. Now, knowing the kind of mattress that your body needs matters. The sleep technology that SERTA offers is life-changing because I now get quality sleep along with my dogs,” Ms. Janice De Belen. “Sleep is essential in our wellbeing, hence choosing the right mattress for your body requires a good understanding and knowledge to achieve that quality sleep that you deserve.”

AIA Philippines launches Rethink Healthy, unveils study on Filipino well-being

AIA Philippines, formerly Philam Life and the domestic arm of AIA, the largest pan-Asian life insurer, has launched “Rethink Healthy,” a health and wellness campaign that aims to change the way people view and approach health. Rethink Healthy champions a holistic and sustainable approach to well-being, making healthy living more inclusive and accessible.

A key element of the launch of “Rethink Healthy” in the Philippines is the unveiling of the results of AIA Philippines’ research report, “Rethinking Healthy: What Overall Well-Being Means to Filipinos.”

At the launch event, hosted by television personality Bianca Gonzalez-Intal, leaders from AIA discussed the findings of the study. The research spans over 1,000 Filipino respondents nationwide across Generations1 X, Y (millennials) and Z. Results show that Filipinos generally define “being healthy” as having a healthy body (52%), healthy mind (30%), healthy finances (12%), and a healthy environment (7%).

(From left): Melissa Henson, Chief Marketing Officer, AIA Philippines; Stuart Spencer, AIA Group Chief Marketing Officer; and TV personality-host Bianca Gonzalez-Intal.

“Through these findings, we are now better informed on how we can help Filipinos build habits that foster healthier minds and bodies, build financial resilience, and promote sustainable practices — in ways that resonate with them so they will also feel seen, understood and supported in their unique wellness journeys,” shared Melissa Henson, Chief Marketing Officer, AIA Philippines.

Stuart A. Spencer, AIA Group Chief Marketing Officer, said, “Asia is getting wealthier but not healthier, and the rate of lifestyle diseases is rapidly accelerating. Consumers in Asia believe that being healthy is too hard, too expensive and out of reach. Rethink Healthy is about changing attitudes, mindsets, and behaviors, and debunking preconceived notions of what healthy means for everyone. Our goal is to make well-being more attainable and encourage more people to live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.”

Sustainable wellness: Daily movements, adequate rest and the environment’s impact on health

Filipinos are increasingly prioritizing their health and embracing healthy lifestyles. This shift is evident as AIA’s study revealed that Filipinos engage in daily physical activities two to three times a week. These include light workouts that are easy to integrate in their day, like walking (71%), doing household chores (48%), running or jogging (44%) or doing gardening or yard work (20%). Fifteen percent (15%) also enjoy dancing, team sports and strength training for their fitness routines.

While daily movements are a priority, rest and sleep are also deemed important in nurturing survey respondents’ health, with 45% citing the importance of adequate rest and sleep, as well as work-life balance, and 41% mentioning regular stress management. However, 16% reported that they are suffering from sleep disorders, including insomnia.

Moreover, 47% of Filipinos also pointed out that their environment has an impact on how they feel and live each day. Thirty-eight (38%) cited intense heat and safety concerns related to crime and accidents as top concerns about their environment, while 37% see unpredictable weather influencing their well-being.

Breaking cycles of family health history

The study also identified how family history plays a significant role in Filipino health concerns. According to the report, 80% of respondents have a family history of illnesses, the most common of which are diabetes (32%), heart disease (30%), and weight-related concerns like obesity (21%). Others include severe allergies (18%) and mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety (16%).

From the research, it was also found that Filipinos have an average of 2.3 illnesses that can be passed down generations within their family. Currently, members of Gen Z have an average of 2.5 inherited illnesses, while Gen Y and Gen X have 2.3 and 2, respectively.

Filipinos actively manage stress, but sometimes in unhealthy ways

Mental health is a major concern for Filipinos, with 41% reporting that they manage stress regularly, knowing chronic stress takes a toll on their well-being. Many do this by indulging in comfort food (52%) and binge-watching television shows (50%). These findings highlight stress-eating and sedentary lifestyles as prevalent coping mechanisms, which can lead to long-term health problems. Opting for more nutritious snacks and engaging in more outdoor activities can help address this.

Another form of stress reduction identified in the study is that 61% of Filipinos surveyed make sure to spend time with family and friends. Many eat meals together at home (71%), watch movies or television (49%), or go out to eat at restaurants or cafés (41%).

Healthy finances can help address physical and mental challenges

Financial stress is a significant barrier in Filipinos’ overall health, with 59% reporting stress related to finances and 47% citing financial challenges as a barrier to seeking quality healthcare.

To prepare for health emergencies, many Filipinos (65%) rely heavily on their personal savings; 46% on government assistance; and 43% on insurance, including health maintenance organizations (HMOs). However, two in five (42%) respondents shared that these funds may not be enough. In fact, 66% of those who already own insurance intends to buy another policy.

AIA’s “Rethink Healthy” encourages inclusive and whole-person approach to well-being
The “Rethink Healthy” launch featured interactive zones representing four pillars of health—physical, mental, financial, and environmental—offering a hands-on experience of AIA’s holistic approach. Additionally, AIA Philippines launched the AIA 100 Voices initiative, sharing inspiring and authentic stories of Filipinos embracing a redefined approach to health in their day-to-day.

For AIA Philippines, rethinking health unlocks the benefits of better health, greater resilience and sustainable living, empowering more Filipinos to live Healthier, Longer and Better Lives.

Rethinking Healthy, conducted in partnership with research firm Human8, surveyed more than 1,000 Filipinos, aged 18-59, in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. To download the study, visit https://www.aia.com.ph/en/health-and-wellness/rethink-healthy

1 Gen X (born 1966-1979), Gen Y/Millennials (born 1980 to 1999), Gen Z (born 2000 to 2007)

This natural caffeine energy drink is for every multitasker

Not all energy drinks are created equal. While most energy drinks promise a speedy rush of energy, they often come with a crash from synthetic caffeine. This crash is exactly what the newly launched Enature drink wants to beat with its natural energy.

Here’s why go-getters will love Enature:

Its energy-boosting ingredients:

Enature has natural caffeine from Guarana and Vitamin B12, which gives a more prolonged and sustained energy release. Guarana is derived from the South American plant popular for its natural energizing properties. Vitamin B12 also supports the natural energy boost from Guarana. Energy drinks with natural caffeine have a lower risk of triggering caffeine-induced symptoms, like headaches, anxiety, and insomnia.

Refreshing flavors:

Enature contains natural flavors for a tasty pick-me-up in the Classic and Cool variants. The Cool variant packs a refreshing minty feeling for an extra boost.

“We couldn’t be more excited to introduce Enature to the Philippines. We want to be a trusted companion to encourage Filipinos to be all they can be. With the help of Enature’s naturally sourced ingredients, Filipinos can strive for more without worrying about crashing out,” Christopher Michael Del Rosario, Enature’s Director, shared.

Pro Age Solutions as a Pioneering Filipino Advocacy Brand for Menopausal Women

Why are we so anti-aging when it is a constant part of everyone’s life?

The silent yet growing stigma in maintaining one’s beauty and youthfulness, especially among women, inspired Claudine Viquiera to establish Pro Age Solutions. “What makes the menopausal journey even harder is the fact that there is no community locally that addresses the problem that women encounter,” Claudine Viquiera said. Her goal is to create a community of women in midlife to have a safe space to talk about their experiences while eradicating the taboos and stigma about perimenopause and menopause.

Going Pro Age: Roundtable Discussion

In the recent roundtable discussion held at the Marquis Events Place last August 22, 2023, industry leaders: restorative dermatologist Dra. Jean Marquez, regenerative medicine expert Dr. Joel Lopez, Veil Cosmetics’ research and development manager Mr. Jacob Park,  and the one and only Cory Quirino joined Pro Age Solutions’ Chief Advocate and Founder Claudine Viquiera in a conversation about perimenopause and menopause. The roundtable discussion also started the #OwnYourAge movement which is a call to women to embrace and be proud of their age as it is a natural part of who they are.

 Pro Age Solutions

Pro Age Solutions is a pioneering advocacy brand for perimenopausal and menopausal relief and overall wellness. The brand released its first product line that features skincare products formulated in Korea but are made and tested specifically for Filipino women who are experiencing skin issues due to menopause. Claudine explained that the brand started with skincare products as the skin is the most visible manifestation of the symptoms of menopause.

Pro Age Solutions Community.

Menopause and the Skin

Menopause is a period in which a woman’s periods stop due to the gradual loss of ovarian follicular function and the decline of estrogen levels. Most of the women in this stage experience different symptoms, one of the most prevalent is skin issues. Some of these are dryness and itching, wrinkles, acne, hot flashes, and melasma.

Menopause and Mental Health

Along with the skin issues, the changing hormonal levels also impact women’s mental health. On top of that, changes to their skin and their appearance can be a source of distress and may contribute to a loss of self-esteem and confidence.

The products will be available on Pro Age Solutions’ official website soon! Tune in to their social media at @proagesolutions on both Facebook and Instagram!

Join the conversation today and let’s create an age-inclusive and pro-aging community.

Oh! Crop Wednesday: A Celebration of Adlai Rice and Culinary Delights

Oh! Crop, the number one Adlai rice brand in the Philippines, has been making waves in the local food scene with its nutty flavor and health benefits. Every Wednesday, the brand introduces new Adlai dishes to different restaurants in the country in an event called Oh! Crop Wednesday. And last Wednesday, it was held at The Gram Cafe Serendra, best known for its soufflé pancakes and great coffees.

The cafe was buzzing with excitement as guests eagerly awaited the unveiling of the special menu created for the event. The menu featured Adlai in every dish, showcasing the versatility and unique flavor profile of the grain.

The event was hosted by Freya Paulienne Suguitan at Gram Cafe Serendra. Chari Trinidad-Mendoza, CEO of Oh! Crop, gave a heartfelt opening speech, expressing her gratitude and support of the brand and emphasizing the importance of promoting healthy eating habits as well as recognizing local farmers from Gawad Kalinga.

The partnership between Oh! Crop and Gawad Kalinga is a shining example of how private organizations can work with social enterprises to make a meaningful impact on the lives of marginalized communities. With the provision of unmilled Adlai to farmers in Bukidnon, Arakan, North Cotabato, and soon to expand to Liliw, Laguna, this partnership will not only provide sustainable livelihood opportunities but also promote the consumption of healthy and locally grown crops.

Oh Crop event at Gram Cafe Serendra.

Chari Mendoza’s inspiring advocacy goes beyond simply providing a livelihood for farmers; it is about empowering them and promoting sustainable agriculture, ultimately leading to the betterment of the entire agricultural sector. Through their combined efforts, Oh! Crop and Gawad Kalinga are creating a ripple effect that will uplift communities and promote a healthier and more sustainable way of living for all Filipinos.

The event was made even more special by the attendance of Marvin Agustin, a Filipino celebrity chef, and Jugs Jugeta of Itchy Worms, a popular Filipino band. Marvin Agustin showcased his culinary skills with his delectable Salmon Paella, which was a crowd favorite. Jugs serenaded the crowd with his music, adding to the festive atmosphere of the event.

The menu featured a variety of dishes that highlighted the flavor and texture of Adlai rice. The starter was a Summer Apple Salad with Tempura, which was a perfect mix of sweet and savory. The main course was the Salmon Truffle Aburi Don with Adlai Rice, a rich and flavorful dish that combined the umami taste of salmon with the nutty flavor of Adlai rice. The dish was a work of art, with its intricate presentation and delicate flavors.

The star of the menu was the Salmon Paella by Marvin Agustin, which was a feast for the senses. The dish was a symphony of flavors and textures, with the bold taste of the saffron and the tender pieces of salmon complementing the nutty flavor of Adlai rice. The dish was a hit with the guests, who couldn’t get enough of its deliciousness.

Ube Adlai Champorado by Marvin Agustin

For dessert, guests were treated to a unique take on a classic Filipino favorite – Ube Champorado and The Gram Cafe’s Special Soufflé Pancakes. The dish combined the sweet and earthy flavor of purple yam with the creamy goodness of Champorado, a traditional Filipino rice porridge. The pancakes were light and fluffy, and the combination of flavors was a delightful surprise.

Oh! Crop Wednesday at The Gram Cafe Serendra was a culinary adventure that showcased the unique flavor and versatility of Adlai rice. The event was a celebration of Filipino food and culture, and a testament to the creativity and culinary prowess of Filipino chefs. The success of the event only shows that Oh! Crop is more than just a brand of rice – it is a symbol of healthy living, community support, and culinary excellence.

It is the perfect platform to perform a wide variety of ophthalmic treatments such as Z Lasik, PresbyMAX Z Lasik, Z Cataract, SMILE and CLEAR procedures as needed, according to Dr. Ches Heredia, MD, DPBO, the Medical Director and Head Ophthalmologist at BLC.

“We chose FEMTO Z8 NEO of Ziemer because it is the most trusted, with more than 1,200 installations worldwide. Ziemer has high-tech lasers and diagnostics made in Switzerland, a family-owned company distinguished by its personal service, and their cutting-edge innovations in the field of ophthalmology,” according to Dr. Heredia.

He said the market worldwide is slowly learning to embrace the FEMTO Laser Lasik, FEMTO Cataract, and FEMTO Lenticule Extraction because it ensures safety and precision, and even the Philippine market is slowly understanding this. Dr. Heredia said the demand will grow for this technology in the near future. “We added this technology to position BLC as the best and most trusted lasik center in the Philippines.”

In the meantime, Dr. Heredia said the FEMTO Z8 NEO will only be available at BLC’s MOA clinic, but stressed that if the market would require it and it would be good for the business, they will install the technology in BLC’s strategic branches.

He added that with the acquisition of the new equipment, BLC will be offering Blade Lasik at a lower price, and FEMTO Laser Lasik and FEMTO Cataract at a premium price point.

Dr. Heredia also expressed his appreciation to MOC Optomedic, Inc., an affiliate of Mandarin Opto-Medic Co., Ltd. Singapore, and is the local distributor of Ziemer’s Z8 Neo Femtosecond Laser for the acquisition of the new equipment. MOC and its affiliates in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia have been in the business for more than 55 years spearheading the advancement of technology in the ophthalmic industry.

And now that the dry season is already here, Dr. Heredia said BLC is currently offering their biggest discounts for the year for Lasik procedures in time for the dry season in the country. “With precision vision, our customers will now have the opportunity to enjoy their best vacation season yet after a long time so they better book now while slots last,” Dr. Heredia pointed out.

The Borough Lasik Center is located at the SM Mall of Asia Wellness Zone and is open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. A Borough Lasik Center in Davao is also located at Door 8 & 9, JJ’s Commune, Loyola Street, Bo.
