Pfizer announces their commitment to support Philippine Red Cross’ COVID-19 efforts


Pfizer supports PRC’s COVID-19 efforts. In 2020, Pfizer and Pfizer Foundation announced their commitment to donate $40M for worldwide relief efforts for COVID-19 through international non-government organizations (NGOs) and partners. Among those chosen beneficiary organizations was the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) for its efforts in relief operations and for taking the lead in performing more than one million RT-PCR tests in the Philippines. Last January, Pfizer Philippines formally turned over a $100,000 (P5 million) grant to PRC to support its COVID-19 relief efforts and projects. The virtual turnover event (in photo) was attended by Pfizer Country Manager Andreas Riedel, Pfizer Public Affairs Director Noel Borlongan, PRC Chairman and CEO Senator Richard Gordon, PRC Secretary General Elizabeth Zavalla, PRC Biomolecular Laboratories head Dr. Paulyn Ubial, and American Red Cross Country Representative Shir Shah Ayobi.

Mermaid Island Natural Beauty Review + Giveaway!

If you can't be a unicorn, be a mermaid.  Whimsical and beautiful. That's how I would want to live in this fast-paced marathon we all cramming to run into that we call life.In our everyday hustle, it is good to stop and smell the roses, as they say. To see the beauty in small things, to be quaint amused even. How exciting and whimsical it would be to dive into the ocean and swim away! There's actually a list of reasons why one should opt to be a mermaid. For me, I'd like to become a mermaid even just in a parallel universe so I won't have to worry about clothes. Just pick a pair of clams your size and your good to go! Postpartum meant falling hair like crazy! If I were to become mermaid, I would definitely wear my crowning glory - luscious and swaying in the breeze!  But honesty, sometimes, I want to be a mermaid just to lure some people to their deaths! lol Shh, oooookay, enough of this.. --- Last week, I encountered Mermaid Island when I attended Bl...

Finally, gargling and drinking bilog again for pain reliever. Chew on ice, or if you have extra bucks, sorbetes (dirty ice cream)! Just make sure you have extra coins for an antibiotic just in case the sore gum started pumping out pus. I just remembered my Nana’s stories about her time. Good thing we are high-tech now. But let’s face it, when we hear the word dentist, all we can think about is pain. I...
