Are you practicing family planning? If you live in the Philippines, you will most probably know that in our type of economy, family planning is the most responsible decision that a couple can make. That is the reason why the first World Contraception Day Philippines was launched in 2018. Earlier, the government has announced the implementation of an intensified family planning program nationwide targeting 11.3 million women orver the next four years. This is to increase the usage of contraceptives among Filipinos from 40 percent to 65...
Have you seen Vicks’ latest #TouchOfCare video? If you haven’t, it’s a 4-minute video which tells the story of a child who was born with HIV infection. When his mom died from the disease, the 4-month old was handed by his immediate family to Agnes, his mom’s friend. Captured in the story is how Agnes later on found out about the child’s condition, and instead of turning away from the unexpectedly difficultsituation, she committed to raise him and showered him with love and care. It was the start of a beautiful life...
Last night, while we were watching our daughters’ videos when they were toddlers, my husband and I missed those years all over again. Hubby says, he always says this, that those kids were lost. They are the same persons but those two kids, so innocent, so playful, seemed to be gone. My teens are still playful, yes, but not like little kids who you can tickle, hug, dance and sing with anytime of the day. This morning, while my husband and I were eating breakfast, I asked him, for the nth time, if he doesn’t want to have kids...
As a mom of 2 teen daughters, I think of myself in a bit of more difficult situation because I grew up without a mother. But you know what, being a parent will always be difficult whether you grew up without a parent or not. It’s because we are all inborn with unique personalities. And so why did I write this post if nothing applies to anyone, you might say? It’s because our children are exposed to similar situations. These include raging hormones, peer pressure and social media, to mention a few. From these, we can all say...
If you were born a Catholic, chances are that you have a ninong or ninong (godparents) and most probably you think that your godparents were your sort of fairy godmothers and godfathers who gave you fabulous gifts when you were a child. Or maybe not, if you are not that lucky. I, myself, can still remember that I had two godparents, ninongs, who my father and I visited every Christmas day. One is a doctor, I remember him calling him as Ninong Toti, and the other one, who we saw less often than my other Ninong. Alice’s baptism San...
Have you or any of your families experienced having worms? Yuck, you may say that it is and it is understable naman. Worms or “bulate” are yucky and harmful to anyone who has them inside. They are parasites and they can make our children sick. These worms can stunt our children’s growth, affect their mental performance and they can cause malnutrition. As moms, we would never want our children to have any of these worms. But like any other kind of health conditions, it will be tough to fight one when we are not equipped...
How are you with your Christmas preparations? I bet that you are already looking at your long list of to-dos as we all count down to the last days before December 25. If you will ask me, I will probably answer the same, that I’m super busy. But you know what, it made me think thoroughly how Grinch these daily tasks can be, stealing us the opportunity of Christmas to get in touch with people, our friends who we haven’t found time to visit or meet this whole year, or the relatives abroad who we didn’t even had the time...
