PHILHEALTH CONTRIBUTION TO HIKE UP


Bad news:-( Philhealth will hike up members contribution effective July 2012.

Voluntary members who use to pay Php 100 peso per month will now have to pay Php 200 a month. That is 100% increase!

Individually paying members who belong to the informal sector of the society and indigents, will be paying P2,400 annually starting July 1, 2012. This is intended to raise funds for the expansion of PhilHealth benefit packages.

But you have an option to advance the payment for your contribution up to (2) two years so you'll pay only Php 1,200 annually.

Binibining Pilipinas 2012 Winners


Congratulations to the new set of Binibining Pilipinas winners who will represent the country in different international beauty contests abroad. Binibining Pilipinas coronation night was held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum last Sunday, April 15, 2012.
Janine Tugonon (No. 18) bested 29 other candidates and was hailed as the Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2012. She will be representing the country in this year's Ms. Universe contest in Florida, USA. Janine Tugonon is a Pharmacy graduate of University Sto.Tomas and works as a clinical specialist.
Winning answer

Janine who placed first runner-up during Bb. Pilipinas 2011 proved that joining the pageant for the second time's a charm.

“Sobrang happy ako and thankful ako kay Lord. Joining wasn’t a brief decision, sobrang pinag-usapan namin ito within the family. Naisip ko noon, “Lord, bahala ka na. I surrender, andito ako for a reason and I know I’m here for a reason,” Janine said in an interview after the pageant.
Her winning answer reflected her belief as a modern Filipina.

“I believe women have the right to choose between what they want. Just go for what God wants you to do. Between the two, whatever it is, you must do your purpose in this world. Just have a child-like faith and mature obedience, and everything will go smooth,” Janine said in the question and answer portion when asked about women foregoing a happy family life for a successful career.


 Bb. Pilipinas-Universe Janine Tugonon
Nicole Schmitz (No. 8) won Bb. Pilipinas-International
 Katrina Jayne Dimaranan (No. 13) won Bb. Pilipinas-Tourism.
 Elaine Kay Moll was declared 1st runner-up
Annalie Forbes was 2nd runner-up.
The special awards winners are:

Bb. Photogenic: Karen Gallman (No. 1)
Best in National Costume: Nicole Schmitz (No. 8)
Bb. Friendship: Chloe Zanardi (No. 25)
Bb. Talent: Katrina Dimaranan (No. 13)
Manila Bulletin's Reader's Choice Award: Roxanne Tadique (No. 20)
People's Binibini: Giselle Munoz (No. 21)
Nestle's Best in Swimsuit: Nicole Schmitz (No. 8)
Ms. PAL: Mary Jean Lastimosa (9)
Best in Evening Gown: Angelee delos Reyes (No. 26)

This year's Bb. Pilipinas coronation night was hosted by Xian Lim, Iza Calzado, Ms. Universe 2010 4th runner-up Venus Raj, and Georgina Wilson. 

There were 12 judges in this year's contest, including Ms. International Lara Quigaman, Richard Gomez, and Fil-British football star Phil Younghusband as chairman of the board. Journey's frontman Arnel Pineda and Pinoy music icon Bamboo were guest performers. They serenaded the women during the long gown competition.

The Philippines has so far produced 2 Ms. Universe winners: Gloria Diaz and Margie Moran. Three Pinays have also won Ms. International: Aurora Pijuan, Melanie Marquez, and Lara Quigaman.

Face your problem with Proactiv


If you can't face your problem, then there is a problem with your face!
Pimples, zits, break outs, blemishes -- whatever you want to call it, is what I hated the most!  

One of the biggest bummers that comes with the changing seasons is breakouts. The switch in temperature and humidity can cause pimples. Stress, lack of sleep and a whole lists of other environmental and genetic factors can add to the blemish count, yes, even for those of us who are well out of our teens. Now that it is summer again and the weather is so hot and humid, I don't wonder If you're sick of pimples. Then maybe you could give this a try-- the 30-day Proactiv treatments, scrubs and cleansers that will help zap those zits and give you clear, radiant skin. Bye-bye breakouts!

While on extended vacation, I bought a 5-gallon purified water from the local refilling station in our town and I couldn't help but notice the pimples on the face of the one manning the water refilling station. He is actually the son of the owner. O ha, you might think, I just stormed in there and told him point blankly, he he, they're a family friend for so many years. I told him to try Proactiv so he will be pimple free in no time. I sited 5 unique reasons why Proactiv is different from other products:
     1. One of the main ingredients in Proactiv Revitalizing Toner is witch hazel, which acts as an antioxidant.
     2. Proactiv was not tested on animals.
     3. Quick, easy, and not messy. Proactiv is only a 3 steps beauty regimen.
     4. Proactiv® Solution also offers Clear Skin Guarantee and Money Back Guarantee for their 30 day kit and 60 day kit. What other products can give you a money back guarantee?
  1. Purchasing a kit (30-day or 60-day) now will get you a chance to own a Justin Beiber’s Limited Edition perfume “Someday”

"Don't resort to quick fixes and go to the nearest neighborhood spa, entrusting your bodies to your favorite masseuse. It is dangerous to have your bones and back be touched by just anybody. You need professionals to do that." quips Michelle Natividad, New York (NY) Theraspine Clinic owner and registered Physical Therapist.
Chiropractic corrects the cause rather than treats symptoms.

NY Theraspine Clinic employs the methods of Chiropractic -a form of alternative medical treatment that focuses on manual therapy and manipulation of the spine, joints, and soft tissues. When done correctly, chiropractic not only treats existing conditions, but can also prevent potential injuries and illnesses from happening, also preventing surgeries.
For those who suffer from disabling conditions like low back pain, arthritis, fractures, carpal tunnel syndrome or sciatica regardless of age and fitness level, the NY Theraspine Clinic also offers Physical Therapy Rehabilitation, which involves the use of heat treatment, ultrasound, electric stimulation, therapeutic exercise, and therapeutic massage with the aim of restoring each patient’s maximum functional independence.

NY Theraspine also makes use of the Myofascial Release approach, which caters to those who are plagued by headaches, pain, and restricted motion as a result of the tightening of the fascia. This often happens to people who have suffered from trauma — a fall, whiplash, or side-effects from a surgery.

With the Myofascial Release approach, therapists individualize each session to cater to each patient’s specific needs, using a number of Myofascial Release techniques and movement therapy to help restore the patient’s range of motion, alleviate pain, and eventually help them return to living an active, free life.
NY Theraspine Clinic’s services also include weight management and fitness and
conditioning, showing just how dedicated the clinic is to promoting a healthy, happy lifestyle.
