We all know how pain affects the quality of life of any person.  For instance, a terrible headache would immediately ruin a great day out in a park with the family.  It limits the play time and bonding time with the kids and even your husband because you're in discomfort and in pain.

Personally, the pain I experience more often than not is headache.  Honestly, work is affected because I couldn't concentrate and sometimes I have to take a leave just to rest and wait until it goes away.  If that happens, even when I am home with my kids, I couldn't enjoy my time with them because the pain hinders me from doing so.  It's heartbreaking to let quality time with my family wait and suffer as I deal with my headache. True there are pain medications available but it doesn't just do its job quickly as needed.

A few days ago, I was invited to witness the unveiling of its newest and also trusted brand ambassador.  GSK proudly presented Super Ryan Agoncillo, a father to Yohan and Lucho, an athlete, and an award-winning host.  He's a sportsman who's into motorcycles and triathlons and is no stranger to aches and pain.

Mr. Ryan Agoncillo shares how pain could affect his super moments with the family and glad there's Panadol®

But like us parents, we don't want any kind of discomfort like headache to get in the way of quality time with his energetic son, making their moments together pain-free.But whenever pain or headache strikes, he puts his trust on Panadol.  And like a true superhero, he has the power of quick recovery in the eyes of his son.

Ryan shares how happy and proud he was of the newest TVC for Panadol which he did with son Lucho.

The newest TVC was also launched that day and it was indeed a touching moment of quality play time between father and son.  Watch this:


It was interesting to know that "Seven out of 10 Filipinos suffer from regular headaches," says Jeoffrey Yulo, General Manager  -  Consumer Healthcare, GSK Philippines.   "This dilemma encourages GSK to continue providing a fast and effective solution like Panadol to pain sufferers.  What makes Panadol with Optizorb® truly different from other generic paracetamol products is that it is the only product to contain Optizorb®, which had revolutionized the way paracetamol tablets are dispersed in the body, so it allows paracetamol to reach the bloodstream more quickly and be carried to where it acts to fight pain, five times faster."

That got me, five times faster. Personally, I experience headache every now and then and my problem with the paracetamol I usually take is that it doesn't take effect that fast, so I suffer longer.  This was medically explained further by Dr. Joy Luat-Inciong, together with Super Ryan Agoncillo and Mr. Jeoffrey Yulo, in the Q&A portion towards the last part of the event.
