Python Visit

Prony is a Philippine reticulated python that is self-developed and trained. It was captured in 1996 weighing 5kilos already with a length of 5feet. In 2005, it was over 280kilos with a length of 27feet and 34inches wide.

Unfortunately, as you could see from the photo above, the biggest and largest captivated snake died last year. This snake, that could only be found in Albuquerque is now preserved in this shrine.

If you decided to drop by here, your stop would still be worth it as they also shelter different kinds of animals and to replace Prony, they now have two snakes of different species. Their skin was so smooth Clyde can't stop touching them! :P

Also, this site won't be complete without the famous tarsiers of Bohol and to compensate the absence of live tarsiers, they have this big tarsier wall where you could pose as a tarsier yourself. I like this even better than the ones in the Tarsier Observatory!

The cutest tarsier of my life! :P

Tarsiers are famed for being the smallest monkey with large eyes. Mine has small slits for eyes! lol

Blood Compact Shrine

The Blood Compact Shrine is also known as the Sandugo Shrine. This is the first friendship treaty between the Filipinos and Spaniards in the year 1565 wherein Rajah Sikatuna and Miguel Lopez de Legaspi made a cut in their wrist and drank the drawn blood that was mixed together between the two leaders.

In Baclayon is where the oldest stone church in the Philippines could be found. Unfortunately, its been destroyed during the last major earthquake in Bohol and is now on going retrofitting and restoration.

Sunscreen and the City: Daylong’s Advocacy Towards Every Day Sun Protection

Living Protected From the Urban Sun

It has been almost a year since Daylong first introduced its campaign for daily, cellular sun protection, advocating that sunscreen should be part of everyday skincare regimen. The trusted makers of Cetaphil launched Daylong to provide clinically-proven protection against the sun, all the way to the cellular and DNA level. With a state-of-the-art formula that has a uniquely light texture and a smooth finish, this Swiss brand successfully conveys its message for daily, deep, and complete solar defense.

Daylong's new brand ambassadors along with Brand Manager John Lee

While the whole city bustles in preparation for summertime, and for days of basking under the beautiful sun on some of the most exquisite local beaches, Daylong has been working quietly – preparing for something bigger.

Daylong's brand ambassadors along with Host Karen Pamintuan

Staying true to its commitment of caring for the skin, whether the sun is out or not, Daylong conducted a study to reveal that the sun exposure in the city has the same intensity as at the beach. Using sun sensors that can detect UV radiation, Daylong has shown that the UV radiation in the city of Manila reaches the same level as on the beaches of Boracay.

“The concept of the study was to support our advocacy for daily sunscreen wear. Daylong is new in the game, but this is how we want to make an impact  – by undertaking a responsibility to provide daily sun care and protection that works even on a cellular level.” explains Jon Lee, Brand Manager of Daylong.

Daylong worked with five influential urbanites, whose schedules are immersed in city-living lifestyles. Each of them has a different role: student, blogger, runner, host and writer, and mother – but each shares the interest of balancing happy and successful lives.

These multi-faceted women are student and FOX Sports Asia courtside reporter, Janeena Chan; stylish mommy blogger who works on a 24-hour duty for 2 children, Jackie Go; the triathlete mom known as The Bull Runner who is a health and fitness inspiration to everyone, Jaymie Pizzaro; in-demand beauty blogger and owner of Catwalk Cosmetics and Wigs, Marj Sia; and lifestyle show writer and host, Marie Lozano.

Daylong produced a video where these five dynamic women show how they embody the lives we have today – always on-the-go, fulfilling duties simultaneously at home and at work or school, but always remaining protected from the sun.

Supporting this advocacy and in attendance was also Dr. Daisy Ismael, President of the Philippine Dermatological Society. Daylong’s commitment to daily sun care can be viewed online at www.Daylong.ph, and on Daylong Philippines’ social media pages: DaylongPH on Facebook and @DaylongPH on Twitter and Instagram.

TREE TOP ADVENTURE: Experience the Extreme Press Conference

On February 21, 2015, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Tree Top Adventure will hold its very 1st press conference and media tour in which over twenty participants from the TV, online, radio and print industries will attend.
The program will be graced by Tree Top Adventure’s CEO Ms. Ma. Camille O. Montejo. A short program will be presented with a question and answer portion will take place first before proceeding with the tour in which the participants will try all the rides. They would also be trying the only motorized team building facilities in the Philippines.

Tree Top Adventure features six activities: two slow paced and four fast paced activities. One slow paced activity is the Trekking adventure in which you’ll be toured within the area. The tour guide will be introducing local plants and trees and share interesting facts about them. If one wants to see the forest and appreciate nature from the top of the trees, they could try the Canopy ride. The entire ride has a hanging bridge and five stations which can carry three persons at a time in which you’ll be transferring from one tree to another. For heart pounding activities, one might want to try the Superman Ride, a horizontal motorized zipline in which you’ll be soaring back and forth in less than a minute. Another activity you could try is the parachute fall in which you’ll be going upwards, slowly, and when you’re 75 feet above the ground, you’ll suddenly fall. If you literally want to surf in the air, you could try the Silver Surfer, an inclined zipline that swings you back and forth between two trees. If you want to experience the extreme, we recommend you the Tree Drop in which you’ll be suspended 60 feet above the ground, mission impossible style and you’ll be dropped in a matter of seconds only.

Tree Top Adventure also offers the only motorized Team Building facilities in the Philippines in which participants would be challenged physically, mentally and even emotionally.

Tree Top Adventure’s another branch, located at the Camp John Hay Baguio City, will also hold its press conference and media tour on March 14, 2015.

For more information, you could contact 09166299381. You could also visit our website www.treetopadventureph.com. To be more updated, you could like our Facebook page www.facebook.com/treetopadventurecamp and follow us on Instagram @tree_top_adventure and Twitter @TreeTopPH.

Toddler Discipline and Potty Training

Toddlerhood is the age when children start to become more independent and discover themselves as individuals.  Yet they still have a limited ability to communicate and reason, which makes for a very challenging combination.

So parenting can be quite tricky when your toddler has temper tantrums on the fly and has messy potty training days thrown in the mix too.  Come join us and make your family life easier by picking up a lot of helpful discipline strategies and potty training tips at our Toddler Discipline and Potty Training workshop.

Our speaker for the Toddler Discipline and Potty Training workshop is Dr. Teresa Lilia Ayaso-Cabusora.  Dr. Cabusora is a Child Development and Early Childhood Education Specialist.  She is a former faculty member of the Department of Family Life and Child Development of the University of the Philippines in Diliman.  She is the former Faculty-In-Charge of the UP-Diliman Child Development Center and is currently the Owner-Directress of the Family Partner Child Learning House.

Make Your Own Dream Book Workshop

I’m a pen and paper type of person. Someone who loves to doodle using colored gel pens, compose unpublished songs and poems, jot down daily tasks, reminders and plan everything ahead on paper. But sometimes, ready-made planners or journals that are readily available lessens our freedom to design our own and express our thoughts by being creative.

That’s why Memory Crafters and CraftCreate thought of having a meaningful workshop entitled Make Your Own Dream Book. A DIY kind of journal wherein you can pick a fabric to cover your dream book and prettify by filling it up with your lifelong goals and dreams. In that way, you’ll always remember all the things you’ve had from the past. May it be adding a daily photo, quotes, scribbles or treat it as your diary. It’s even more special because you made it with the hopes of your dreams to be fulfilled.

With this, we would like to invite you to be part of our first workshop this year! Make Your Own Dream Book will be the first workshop for the whole-day event on February 28, 2015 at Scarsdale S&R Shaw, 9:00 am – 12:00 nn. Workshop kits, modules and light snacks will be served!

About the Speaker

Catherine Santos is a Mass Communications major in Film and Audio Visual Arts in UP Diliman. She worked in a video production house then in a graphic design company. In between, Katsy and her mom had a homebased business where they make flower arrangements using paper, dried leaves and twigs and they supply these to specialty shops and exporter. After that stint, she held a marketing and merchandising hob for SAFFY, an NGO that promotes fair-traded handicrafts.

She missed the vibe of having her own business. So, she ventured on her own again and decided to put up a a new business named CraftCreate, a designing and trading handcrafted home décor and supplying stores that cater to tourists, expats and balikbayans. She also started Handmade Manila to make an outlet for her projects that don’t quite fit in to the product line of CraftCreate. It also serves as an outlet for some crafter friends who want to sell their crafts and products. She also join bazaars and have been a regular seller in the bazaar circut since 2004.

Stock Investment Program with Utrade

One of the best ways to grow your money is to start investing in the stock market. Investing is one of the best ways for anyone to create wealth instead of just depositing money in a bank. Philippine stocks can be a stable long-term venture. You can invest in the stock market with as little money as your budget can allow. Read up and learn more about money management with Utrade.

SIP and Save with Utrade

The year 2015 started with a big bang as the Philippine composite index (PSEi) soared to an all-time high in the middle of January. Given the recent drop in oil prices to below $50/barrel, inflationary pressures have been tamed substantially. Likewise, despite IMF’s downgrade in the global growth forecast for 2015 and 2016, the Philippines still managed to receive an upgrade from the IMF. The Philippines has likewise affirmed itself as Investment Grade from three major ratings agencies. This positive outlook on the Philippines has many Filipinos looking for investment options that can allow them to save up for the future.

Instead of just depositing money in a bank, which has low returns, Philippine stocks are a stable long-term investment, given that the economy has been performing well and that inflation is projected to be low in 2015, says Lexter Azurin, Head of Research at UTrade, the online securities brokerage of Unicapital Securities, Inc. (USI). He continues, “To accommodate Filipinos’ needs for a convenient investment service, we created a unique program that they can invest in over the long term, called SIP.”

SIP or UTrade’s Stock Investment Program uses a peso-cost averaging strategy, in which a fixed amount is invested over the long term at regular intervals on a particular stock. Since this does not rely on the current purchase price of a given stock, the cumulative average of the investment will result in a profit in the long run.

The four-step UTrade SIP process is simple. First, choose from UTrade’s recommended basket of stocks. Second, determine how much to invest, starting with as low as P5,000. Third, decide on the frequency of investments, which can be weekly, monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually. Fourth, identify your long-term goal and determine how long the investment will last.

To make it even more convenient, UTrade will send an email before the next trade to remind clients of their upcoming transaction. For more information on how to invest, visit www.utradeph.com and likewww.facebook.com/UnicapitalOnline.

*About the Survey

The JOHNSON’S® Global Bath Time Report was sponsored by JOHNSON’S® and conducted online by Harris Poll in November 2014 among 3,574 parents of 0-3 year olds aged 21 and older in Brazil, Canada, China, India, Philippines, UK and US (484+ per country and 500 in the Philippines). To access the full survey results, contact us.

Johnson's Baby Care Rituals for Happy, Healthy Development

Bath time: a potent opportunity to promote cognitive and physical development

“Bath time can be so much more than getting clean. Multisensory stimulation rituals can aid in promoting happy and healthy baby development leading to specific benefits such as increased weight gain and bone mass, reduced stress, crying and better quality and quantity of sleep,” shares Dr. Didoy Castañeda, Asia Pacific Medical & Clinical Affairs Director. With opportunities for touch, sight, smell, and sound, the bath is among the key baby care rituals parents can use to nurture baby.  "Mahirap pero masaya" (It's hard but fun!) shared Rica Peralejo-Bonifacio, JOHNSON’S^® celebrity mom influencer, when asked about being a mom. “As a first-time mom, you would like to ensure that you are truly hands-on when it comes to taking care of your baby. It’s been a year since Philip came into my life and I can truly say that it has been nothing short of exciting and challenging at the same time. What I truly enjoy are the baby care rituals I share with him, especially bath time. I am happy to know how bath time provides opportune moments for me to stimulate his senses - especially touch and smell - to aide in his total development,” Rica adds.

“Apart from massage, other ways the senses can be activated especially during bath time include the playing of music and games, and the use of fragranced products. Pleasant smells, particularly, when paired with the loving interactions of a parent, can create positive and lasting memories that children will remember for a lifetime. Fragranced products are known to increase infant engagement, helping mothers bond with their babies, and helping babies stay calm and relaxed for a more prolonged period of time,” adds Mr. Arun Viswanath, Asia Pacific, Science & Technology head at Givaudan Fragrances.

“Dramatic growth in a child’s physical, motor, cognitive and social-emotional development is very much dependent on the stimulation a parent provides in the first several years of a child’s life.  Touch is a powerful tool to maintain alert state in babies, to calm them or as an attention-getting stimulus. Touch is also a good reinforcer for positive infant behavior and learning,” added Dr. Theresa Hilario-Jimenez, President of the Perinatal Association of the Philippines, sharing the importance of touch or skin-to-skin contact with babies, which are most evident during bath time.

Johnson’s® shares how moms and dads can stimulate their baby’s senses through these baby care rituals. JOHNSON’S® understands that for Filipino parents, their baby’s health and development is of primary importance. This is why we’ve developed sensorial rituals that parents can consistently enjoy doing with their babies. When used with our specially-formulated JOHNSON’S® products, these rituals can unlock the full power of the senses and help baby develop healthily and happily.

We encourage parents to learn more about these rituals, and regularly practice them with their children from birth up until their toddler years. Newborns aged 0-6 months use their five senses to survive. Their senses allow them to feel safe, stable and secure. JOHNSON’S® advocates newborn rituals for sensory security.

4-Step Newborn Bathing Ritual - click here.

2-Step Soothing Nappy Care Ritual – Protects baby from irritation.

1. Step 1: Use JOHNSON’S® Baby Skin Care Wipes, which has moisturizing essences that cleans and protects baby’s skin better than water and soap alone.
2. Step 2: Before changing baby’s diaper, give baby’s skin complete protection with JOHNSON’S® Baby Complete Care Powder, which effectively absorbs and repels wetness, reduces skin friction, and soothes skin irritation from wearing diapers.

Infants (7 months to 2 years) use their senses to explore for rapid brain development. JOHNSON’S® advocates daily rituals for sensory discovery such as a playful bath of textures, sights and scents, and a calming bedtime routine for better sleep.

4. Step 4: Apply JOHNSON’S® Baby Powder Milk + Rice on baby’s body, including the nappy area, to complete skin nourishment and keep baby’s skin healthy, soft and smooth.

4-Step Bedtime Ritual –Proven to improve baby’s sleep to help him grow and develop to his full potential.

1. Step 1: Massage baby with JOHNSON’S® Baby Bedtime Oil with NATURALCALM™ essences that help baby feel calm, relaxed and ready for better sleep.
2. Step 2: Bathe baby with JOHNSON’S® Baby Bedtime Bath to help your little one let go of the day’s excitement
3. Step 3: Rinse baby and dry. Massage with JOHNSON’S® Baby Bedtime Lotion to foster mom and baby bonding and sooth & strengthen baby's skin.
4. Step 4: Protect baby from wetness while helping him sleep better with JOHNSON’S® Baby Bedtime Powder.

Children aged 2-5 years use their five senses to build an understanding of everything in the world. Their senses must be stimulated with hands-on activities that are the foundation for learning. JOHNSON’S® advocates sensory mastery, which includes getting ready for play and stimulation of each of the five physical senses.

3-Step Playtime Ritual –Supports growing kid’s healthy sensorial development by making him ready for play

1. Step 1: Bathe baby with JOHNSON’S® Baby Active Fresh Bath. Its easy rinse formula is infused with ActiveFresh™ technology that leaves skin clean and smelling fresh all-day.
2. Step 2: To let your child play outdoor more pleasantly, use JOHNSON’S® Baby Active Fresh Powder. It contains ActiveFresh™ technology bursts with fragrance upon contact with sweat, for long lasting fragrance all day.
3. Step 3: Keep baby smelling fresh with JOHNSON’S® Baby Cologne that instantly energizes with an invigorating scent.

All of these rituals are made possible because every JOHNSON’S® product has Triple Baby Protection, which promises:

• Only the safest ingredients that are proven to be appropriate for babies
• Mild formulations to avoid irritation on baby’s skin
• Effectiveness in helping to keep skin’s natural moisture

We encourage moms and dads to make bath time and the other baby care rituals mean so much more to maximize their happy and healthy development. Make sure to spend more quality time with your babies in these different rituals  – massage them more, talk to them more, play with them more - to help nurture their ability to learn, think, love, and grow. I even make new songs and parodies for my baby, I could have had a music platinum award or something. lol Spend more quality time with babies, especially during bath time.
