The towns of Tubigon and Maribojoc in Bohol province now have clean and safe drinking water due to a joint effort of the Coca-Cola Company and Habitat for Humanity Philippines. The two towns have newly rehabilitated water supply systems, a project which began in February 2014.
In Tubigon, a redeveloped 105,000-liter water storage tank will be able to provide clean water to 500 families in the barangaysof Panaytayon, Ilijan Norte and Ilijan Sur. Meanwhile, 2,000 families across nine barangays in the town of Maribojoc will benefit from a new multi-filtration water system that outputs 1.2 million liters of clean water per day.
Representing the provincial government of Bohol, Atty. Anthony Damalerio expressed his gratitude to Coca-Cola Philippines and Habitat for “this good example of public-private partnership. This is one way to honor our strong commitment to deliver that basic commodity to our barangays.”
Damalerio said that the province’s demand for clean water will be increasing this year since Bohol will be embarking on massive infrastructure projects. Due to this, he explained, providing barangays access to clean and safe drinking water is a topmost priority. “We must not forget the role of our barangays.”
Coca-Cola Philippines Foundation President, Cecile Alcantara, said that the two projects are the company’s way of giving back to the community the water they’ve consumed for their products. “We call this ‘replenish,’ and we are happy to say that we have given back 40 to 50 percent of the water we’ve consumed back to the communities,” she said.
Alcantara also requested local government officials to educate their constituents to take care of the resource entrusted to them. She emphasized that “[since] water is not an infinite resource, we have to conserve it.”
Habitat for Humanity Philippines Managing Director and CEO, Charlie Ayco, says they took on this project as part of the organization’s goals of ensuring that Filipino families can have more decent and secure lives. “We are known for shelter, but in our housing-quality standards, clean water and sanitation are a vital components of a decent home.”
Both the Coca-Cola Company and Habitat for Humanity Philippines see themselves as partners for development, eyeing more projects together with the local government of Bohol to help rebuild the lives of those who have been affected by the 7.2-magnitude earthquake last October 2013.
“Perhaps the blessing is that the earthquake brought us all together, to work together so that we can [also] rise up together,” Coca-Cola’s Alcantara said.

Johnson’s and child development experts rally for active sensorial play to enhance a child’s holistic development
(L-R) Host Eliza Ypon, Teacher Monica Javier of Keys School Manila, licensed clinical psychologist and play therapist Fiona Sandoval, mom Kris De Guzman, and Johnson’s Associate Marketing Director Trina Tanlapco pose for the camera after a very engaging discussion on the importance of active sensorial play in the children’s holistic development during the gadget-free playdate held by Johnson’s baby.
Children learned so much more from playing with multi-sensorial activities in a gadget-free playdate hosted by Johnson’s baby
In a society that is highly becoming more digital by the minute comes the swell of gadget use. It is said that 36% of Filipinos have about 10 gadgets per household*, which could tell why it has become a normal scene at homes that even kids use it for play. More so, giving them the latest gadgets has been a way for parents to give their kids so much more, with their digital acumen considered as an advantage.
While it is true that gadget play can teach children in many ways, it is through active sensory play when all their five senses are awakened to discover and learn the world around them. This has been proven by Johnson’s baby in a social experiment to see how children respond to gadget play versus playing with textures and shapes, water, different implements, and even with other children. Captured in a heartwarming film, this initiative has unveiled the wonders of learning using the five senses through active sensory play – as witnessed by the moms themselves.
“As a brand committed to the happy, healthy development of children, we at Johnson’s believe that every activity that a child does can mean so much more to him,” said Trina Tanlapco, Johnson’s Associate Marketing Director. “Active play is integral and essential in the holistic development of children to let them discover the world around them. As a brand, this is something we would like to keep reminding parents of. With the information and products we offer, parents can let their children turn playtime to a time of learning while they #playforreal. ”
Apart from fostering the bond between parent and child, it is during active sensory play when all five senses of the child are awake, making him more receptive to learning the world around him. According to Fiona Sandoval, a licensed clinical psychologist and play therapist, a child reaps the maximum benefits of active sensory play when his senses are enhanced and maximized in these activities. “The brain grows up to 90% of its adult size from birth up to five years old. It is important that all the different senses get stimulated in activities like active play during this period so that the neurons and brain connections are formed better. If this is achieved, there will be more synapses and connections, which can optimize the brain development.”
“In sensory play, children develop their fine motor, language and cognitive skills. The stimulated senses work hand in hand in helping a child achieve holistic development,” she added.
Meanwhile, Monica Javier, a teacher who has worked with preschool children for more than ten years, also added that active sensorial play help children prepare for bigger things ahead of them which is why it is encouraged to be integrated in early education. “More than fun and entertainment, play actually helps children to expand their knowledge about themselves, allows communication with others, develop new competencies that may prepare them for challenges of the bigger environment.”
In school, sensorial activities are used to teach children about different concepts. For example, encouraging them to play and explore with blocks allow children to distinguish shapes, sizes and weight; it also encourages them to plan strategically. Providing opportunities to paint with different implements or with their body develops creativity and teaches them about colors and textures. Running, jumping, crawling or any form of movement can help them develop gross motor skills. Pretend play in these areas encourages communication among them.
“Sensory activities allow children to go through a scientific process in a very natural way. While playing, they ask questions, predict, make hypothesis, test hypothesis and make conclusions,” shared Javier.
For mom Kris De Guzman, a mother of two, introducing sensory play to her children balances out their time from other forms of play. It also makes them more imaginative, creative, and resourceful in the activities that they do together. “At home, bath time is also playtime for my kids. We play with bubbles, make up stories, and learn about body parts. Through simple activities like this, we are able to make enjoyable moments together and strengthen our connection toward each other,” said de Guzman.
Indeed, playtime can mean so much more, so let your kids #playforreal. To learn more about how you can do sensory play at home or in your school, visit https://www.facebook.com/JohnsonsBabyPhilippines.

Investing hard-earned money in the stock market that doesn't always promise immediate cash-back is not immediately enticing and can be quite scary especially for people who have just started earning enough money to pay for little luxuries in life like an every day latte, or weekly spa and nail salon visits.
But no matter how daunting it is to make that bold move, many young professionals have started dipping their toes in the stock market game. Armed with some guts, a bit of internet research, and stories from friends who’ve started investing, many yuppies make the initial minimum investment and hope that somehow, something good will come off of it.
However, investing does not end there. Newbie startup investors will quickly realize that there is so much left to learn. So while there is a vague idea of where the money has been invested, UTrade, the online stock trading program of Unicapital, is here to explain investments in layman’s terms.
Expect the Risk-and-Return Tradeoff
Accept that safe investments, will not have as high a return compared with investing in riskier, but potentially more profitable companies. The principle behind the risk-and-return tradeoff is that potential return will increase with an increase in risk. Higher returns come if the investor is comfortable in high potential losses. Investing in the stock market means awareness of personal risk appetite. Ideally, a balance of high risk-high yield and low risk-stable return will net profits in the long term.
Expect to Own Portions of Companies
Buying stocks from different companies means owning pieces of those companies. Profit reports and market status are now more than just figures on screen that changes value by the minute. And they don’t necessarily reflect current values; sometimes, lowered expectations apply only for short-term gains, with investors who stay, earning more. For example, a company opening more branches may mean lower share values in the short term because of corporate expenditure, but higher gains because of projected income from expansion. It is important to be vigilant to these kinds of movement when investing in stocks.
Expect Contradicting Information
Investing in stocks is confusing, especially for a newbie. While the internet is a trove of investing information, interpretation differs per website. Instead of navigating the stock market alone, some people defer to online trading platforms, like UTrade, to help them manage their stock market portfolios online. UTrade has a Stock Investment Program (SIP), in which clients can invest a fixed amount at regular intervals on a particular stock. The platform allows clients to trade, view and modify orders, and even compare the values of different stocks. It also allows free and easy access to market information and proprietary research reports.
Aside from managing portfolios online, UTrade also offers free weekly seminars on the basics of investing in the stock market; and makes available experienced brokers who can guide clients through the investment process, as well as provides recommended stocks depending on the financial goals of the client.
Having realistic expectations are important when investing in the stock market. With the appropriate knowledge and credible tools, any one can have better chances of playing and winning in the stock market.
