I'm so excited for our next family travel!  We've booked and rebooked our vacation to Boracay due to changing health and travel protocols.  But now that traveling slowly makes a comeback, I'm so happy we're finally travelling soon!  Of course as a skincare junkie, I always bring my skincare kit with me because my skin's needs don't go on a vacation!  

I'm glad that #FacetheScience with Johnson & Johnson's launches Neutrogena Deep Clean Cleansers Travel Pack this April 18 only on Shopee's Brand Spotlight! 

With this travel pack, I can keep your skin hydrated and protected even when I'm on the go! 

Here's what's inside my Neutrogena Deep Clean Cleansers Travel Pack: 

2. Neutrogena Deep Clean Acne Foaming Cleanser:  Without disrupting the naturally good skin barrier, Neutrogena Deep Clean Acne Foaming Cleanser effectively removes 99% dirt, including acne-causing bacteria.

3. Neutrogena Deep Clean Brightening Foaming Cleanser: Visibly improves uneven skin tone for luminous skin, Neutrogena Deep Clean Brightening Foaming Cleanser removes 99% dirt and gives naturally glowing skin.

Since I was younger, my skin has special needs and it's like a roller coaster ride!   I have a combination skin type with frequent acne breakouts especially when my period is coming.  So I need a mild yet an effective for eliminating or preventing acne. My dermatologist recommended to do these simple steps: Cleanse, Tone, Moisturize, and Spot Treatment.  In the morning, I was told to always put on some sunscreen.


Cleaning my face with Neutrogena cleansers always saves the day especially on days when I'm going to have my period soon.  I use Neutrogena Deep Clean Acne Foaming Cleanser because it's gentle to the skin, doesn't dry my skin (which sometimes can cause more breakouts), yet it effectively removes acne-causing bacteria.  On days when my skin is  A-Okay, I use Neutrogena Gentle Foaming Cleanser which has an Amino Micellar Technology which rebalances my skin and even gives it enough moisture which also helps me in keeping my skin younger-looking.  If ever there are uneven color on my face due to little sun burn coming from travels, the Neutrogena Deep Clean Brightening Foaming Cleanser helps a lot in improving the skin tone.  It also gives a luminous glow as it removes 99% dirt.

Toning is essential to prep the skin for the moisturizers or serums it will receive.  Since my skin is more on the matured side, putting serum is a must!  I dabble between anti-aging serums and hydrating/brightening serums too!  I can't go to bed without moisturizing my skin!  Don't forget the neck! Always include your neck in your moisturizers and sunscreen too!  After moisturizer I put on other skincare solutions that my skin needs at the moment like for spot treatments or acnes.  In the morning, I cleanse using Neutrogena Gentle Foaming Cleanser and put on sunscreen, even if I won't be going out of the house.  

Lastly, always drink lots of water to hydrate your body!  It shows in the skin!

So loves, on your next travel destination, don't forget to bring a Neutrogena Deep Cleansers Travel Pack with you!  You could purchase them on Shopee: https://shopee.ph/product/29990515/16826498412.  Hurry and add to cart before it runs out!  I heard it sells out pretty fast!

Missing hills, chopped seedlings, and rotting leaves are just a few examples of the kinds of damage to crops that rice planting farmers may face due to poor pest management. These pests can cause high percentages of yield loss, ranging from 30-70 percent, if they aren’t addressed properly. Understanding how these organisms thrive on rice fields and the kinds of damage they inflict on rice crops can help farmers detect their existence and come up with solutions to eradicate them from their fields, thus improving their rice planting activities. 

Rodents

Rodents are commonly active at night and avoid daylight and open areas to steer clear of predators. They like to make their nests near a water source, and they tend to make sure that their burrows are hidden by weeds. They can reproduce all year round in the Philippines as long as they have food and water. 

The damage rodents cause in rice farms aren’t just related to their consumption of the grains. They also like to pull plants from the soil and bite on their tillers. Due to this behavior, farmers could lose hills, seedlings, and grains during different stages of plant growth. 

Early detection is one of the best ways to eradicate or manage rodent infestation. Once rats are detected, a farmer can fumigate or flood rat nests to control them. Dogs can also be used to scare rats away from farms. 

Insect Pests

Armyworms 

Armyworms are nocturnal worms that tend to thrive in rice farms after heavy rains that follow dry spells, as this season brings them more food to consume. Signs of their existence can be seen when rice plants have bitten-off leaves, but armyworms can also devour whole leaves. 

Planthoppers

Planthoppers suck the juices out of rice plants that can leave them dead and discolored. Wet environments can encourage these small bugs to flourish, which can cause an infestation in rice farms. 

To prevent infestation of both armyworms and planthoppers, a farmer can grow and nurture their natural predators instead of killing them. Dragonflies, wolf spiders, spotted beetles, wasps, and mirid bugs are just a few examples of natural predators that consume armyworms and planthoppers’ eggs. 

Bacterial and Fungal Diseases

Bacterial Blight

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae is the bacterium that causes bacterial blight disease. This disease dries the plant, causing seedlings to wilt and leaves to have yellow-orange streaks. Infection can also cause leaves to turn yellow completely.

Planting injured crops during rainy weather and when temperatures are warm can make crops susceptible to this bacteria. On the other hand, planting varieties of rice like the NSIC Rc142 and NSIC Rc154, as well as PSB Rc82, will deter bacterial blight as these varieties have genes that are resistant to the bacterium. 

Sheath Rot

The fungus Sarocladium oryzae is what causes sheaths to rot that is characteristic of this particular disease. Sheath rot disease disrupts panicles from emerging from the crop, and it also causes reddish-brown lesions on the sheath of the rice plant.

The fungus originates in the soil and thrives  when temperatures are between 25° to 28°. Excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer can also cause the fungal infection to worsen. 

To prevent the fungus from causing sheaths to rot, use clean seeds and lessen nitrogen fertilizer usage. Weeds can act as another host for this fungus, so removing weeds can also lessen infection. 

Gastropods

Golden apple snails were originally raised to be a food source for humans, but they ended up becoming a pest as they reproduced exponentially and consumed young seedlings of rice plants. They live in wet environments but can survive dry weather conditions by burying themselves in moist soil. 

Herding ducks can prevent golden apple snail infestations as ducks are natural predators of these snails. Ducks have also been proven to be more effective at eradicating golden apple snails than using molluscicides. Using the dry land preparation method, where the soil is not puddled with water, can also discourage these snails from thriving on the rice field. 

Root-Knot Roundworms

Root-knot roundworms, also known as root-knot nematodes, are parasitic worms that cause the root of rice plants to form knots that look like hooks. These parasites drain the nutrients of the rice plant, stunting its growth and distorting its leaves. The parasite can be prevented from invading roots by practicing crop rotation and flooding rice fields consistently. 

Birds

Birds like the Eurasian tree sparrows, also known as maya in the Philippines, eat rice grains and can cause grains to drop when the birds perch on the plant. Maya birds, in particular, like to suck the juices of young seedlings, preventing these plants from maturing. The best way to prevent them from causing damage to rice fields is to scare them away.

Farmers can lessen yield loss and prevent crop damage by properly managing these six types of pests. One of the best ways to discourage these pests from thriving is to use f biological pest control methods, which can be integrated into a holistic pest management strategy . Doing this will ensure healthy plant growth and quality grains during the harvesting period. Avoid relying solely on chemical solutions as these can also affect crop quality and growth.

Moving out of your hometown or the place where you’ve lived for years can be scary and exciting; it’s like attending the first day at school as a new transferee, and you don’t know anyone. If you’ve lived in the metro for years and are now planning to settle down in the province, you may face some exciting challenges that are part of any moving out and moving in process.

To equip you with what you can expect when you start planning to move to one of the provinces in the Philippines, here are some of the challenges you may encounter and things to consider. Knowing these will help you adjust better to your new environment.

Finding the Perfect House

Finding a new home in the province can be a challenge. To be sure about what you’re putting your money into, it is best to visit the property yourself instead of relying on what you see in the pictures sent to you by the seller. Let’s say you are interested in buying a house and lot for sale in Iloilo City. If you can’t fly to Iloilo to check the property yourself, you can always ask a trustworthy relative or friend who resides in that province to check it out for you. You can also ask the seller for a detailed virtual tour of the property.

Another option is to build your home from the ground up. This can be more challenging since it is ideal that you are there on the construction site to make sure that your home is built according to your preferences.

Getting Familiar with Your New Community

Aside from your new home, it would help if you also familiarize yourself with your new community. You may do this by frequently visiting the province you will move into before your big move. You have to familiarize yourself with where the essential establishments are, including the market, malls, schools, hospitals, and offices.

If you’ll be living in a subdivision, familiarize yourself with the village’s gates, amenities, and even shortcut roads if there are any. If you are moving into a condo, familiarize yourself with the condo’s amenity area, fire exit, parking lots, lobby, drop-off points, and others.

Knowing How to Commute

As the new people on the block, you should know different ways how to go from point A to point B. You can do this by asking people around or consulting the map. When settling down in a new area, the last thing you want is to be fined for traffic violations because you weren’t familiar with the place.

Aside from driving, it is also recommended to learn how to commute going to essential places in your neighborhood as an alternative when you can’t drive your car. You’ll need to figure out the modes of transportation available, fares, and different routes.

Looking for Schools for Your Kids

For families moving from the metro to the province with kids still studying in school, finding schools can be challenging, especially if the province has few or too many to choose from. In that case, you can allocate a day to visit the school in person (if allowed) to see if the school will be perfect for your kids. You may even consult with them on what they’re looking for in a school, what after-school activities will interest them, and others.

Aside from the quality of education, tuition fee, and safety of your child, you can also consider the travel time from home to school so that they too can adjust their schedule accordingly. Ideally, you’ll want a school that is relatively near your house so your children won’t have to spend

Finding New Sources of Income

Unless you are a digital nomad, moving to a new place means finding a new job or a source of income. Before making the big move, it’s ideal to look for employment opportunities in your new community or find ways you can start a business.

Let’s say you will move into Cebu. One ideal source of income you can invest in is buying an apartment for sale in Cebu. You can live in one of your apartment building's units and lease the remaining units to other families and individuals who want to live in the area. If the province you’ll be moving into is a popular tourist destination or business hub, you can also use your property for commercial purposes.

Creating Friendships

As the new kid on the block, you have to overcome another challenge when you move to the province is to find and meet new friends. Since provincial life is more laid-back, you can always find time to get to know your neighbor and other community members.

Lucky for you, most people in the province are hospitable and welcoming, so don’t hesitate to give them your warm smile and greetings! On the day you move in, your neighbors might even welcome you with some snacks, homemade meals, and other small gifts. These simple gestures can start conversations with people with whom you may form lasting friendships.

Solid waste management

Lao is a strong advocate for the environment through proper waste management. During the webinar, he talked about the country’s Solid Waste Management programs and its practical aspects, such as what household items can be recycled.

Plastic Bank’s David Katz discussed what social plastic can do to help impoverished communities gain access to necessities such as food and water.

"The partnership with Watsons is an opportunity for the world to bear witness to great change, to witness great organizations that truly are standing on the right side of history. It takes the bold and the authentic to do something that hasn't been done before and we know that in partnership with Watsons, the world is going to witness the change in the communities and the lives of our collectors,” he said.

For Sustainable Choices, Sa Watsons Ako

One of these is to always choose sustainability in our health, wellness and beauty products.

I am a self-confessed skincare regimen fan since I was in my 20s.  I never regret starting my skincare during my young adult phase because I am reaping the benefits to this day.  A lot of my family and friends say I don't look my age and I am proud of it because I really take care of my skin.

I started with three basic skin care steps: Cleanse, Tone, and Moisturize.  Later on steps add to this regimen, I added sunscreen, serums, eye cream, anti-aging moisturizers as my skin matures.  For me, it's a must to really take care of our skin.

Just stepped out of my cleansing regimen using Face Republic Calming Acne Salicylic Cleanser.

Through the years, the needs also change depending on the season and condition of my skin.  I've been discovering a lot of new and effective products and one of which I tried recently and love instantly is Face Republic's Vegan-formulated skincare line!

To celebrate this year’s International Women’s Day, UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund in the Philippines,  launched the “Here for Her” campaign.  The Here for Her Campaign , is a call to action engaging all stakeholders to accelerate the pace in empowering women and girls to realize their rights and full potential.  This flagship campaign is launched to promote commitment to end preventable maternal deaths, end unintended pregnancies, and prevent gender-based violence and other harmful practices.

The launch of Here for Her Campaign is on the day of the United Nations’ International Women’s Day with the theme of “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow.”  Achieving gender equality is further challenged by climate change.

“Women and girls are effective and powerful leaders and change-makers for climate adaptation and mitigation. ” shared Dr. Leila Sajii Joudane, UNFPA Country Representative to the Philippines. “Climate change is not gender-neutral. It is a multiplier of existing inequalities and vulnerabilities.

During humanitarian crises, UNFPA leads in upholding the health and dignity of women and girls by preventing and responding to gender-based violence, addressing the delivery of emergency reproductive health kits and ensuring safe childbirth. These efforts are seen in previous calamities, including Super Typhoon Odette (Rai).
