MyPharma online delivery keeps us safe this colds season

Saturday, August 6, 2022

The change in weather between the summer and rainy season can affect your immune system and make you more vulnerable to respiratory conditions such as flu, cough, and colds. The cooler air also causes rhinoviruses to replicate more efficiently, so the chances of catching respiratory diseases such as coughs and colds are higher.






When feeling under the weather, it is important to rest to reduce the chances of a full-blown infection. Instead of going to the drug store to purchase your immunity boosters and your flu, cough, and cold medication, you can order online from MyPharma and have your healthcare essentials delivered to your doorstep.

Easy recovery


MyPharma has a wide online catalogue of authentic, trusted, and FDA-approved OTC medications and treatments at accessible prices, along with supplements to help you and your family stay healthy. With its efficient on-time delivery, you can rest and recuperate from your cough and cold at home instead of being exposed to other viruses while your immune system is still in a delicate state.

Among the cough medicines available at MyPharma’s online site are Ambroxyl (Ambroxol Hydrochloride) 15 mg/5 ml Syrup and 30mg tablets that can help ease the elimination of phlegm. For colds, Salinase Nacl (Sodium Chloride) in Nasal Drops and Nasal Spray variants naturally moisturizes dry, crusted and stuffy nostrils due to allergy, colds, sinusitis, and overuse of antihistamine and decongestants.

To help you breathe easier, there are also Salinase Max Nasal Drops (Sodium Chloride + Xylitol) that are formulated to be safe for all ages and Salinase Nacl .65% Solution for Nebulization (Sodium Chloride) which is a buffered isotonic solution for nebulization for colds, mucous congestion, allergic rhinitis, acute and chronic sinusitis. These OTC products can help you feel better faster, and you can have them delivered hassle-free to your home with the efficient service and safe and secure online transactions of MyPharma.

The online healthcare needs shopping site is easy to navigate and backed by the strong nationwide distribution of Dygen Pharma. MyPharma is a virtual hub that allows you to safely get what you need when you need it.

Skip the lines and stay safe and dry in rainy days. Visit mypharma.ph to find your genuine OTC treatments and healthcare essentials and have them delivered conveniently to your home.

Shopee Promotes Safe Online Shopping Experience with Shopee Cares PH

Shopee Cares PH empowers users to combat fraud activities





With more Filipinos relying on e-commerce to get their essentials, this has also increased the need to protect them due to the growing number of fraudulent activities happening in the digital space. In a Consumer Pulse Survey conducted by TransUnion in February 20221, of the over 1,000 Filipino adults polled, 53% said they were targeted by fraudsters in the previous 3 months. From the same survey, 42% said they were scammed by Phishing, 38% were victimized by money and gift card scams, while 30% were scammed by third-party sellers via online retail shops. While businesses in different industries are continuously upgrading their platforms, fraudsters also search for ways on how they can adapt to the ever-changing landscape and discover new vulnerabilities.



Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, recognizes the need to enhance user protection and security by educating customers on vulnerabilities, and how they can avoid being a victim of fraud. With the recently launched Shopee Cares PH – an online community platform where Shopee provides customer education and support – the goal is to empower consumers with proper know-hows and tips on how they can protect themselves from phishing scams, money and gift card scams, and third party seller scams.


Martin Yu, Shopee Philippines Director, said, “Shopee has always been committed to ensuring that every Filipino’s online shopping experience is safe and reliable, and Shopee Cares is a testament to that. Through this platform, we aim to equip them with knowledge on how to shop safely and combat these online scams together so that they can continuously enjoy shopping online.”



With Shopee Cares PH, users are also encouraged to seek help for any product inquiry or concern, and inspire other users through their memorable Shopee finds and experiences. Sale tips and tricks are also provided to ensure online shopping is made enjoyable with exclusive deals and promos.




“As more Filipinos rely on e-commerce, we continuously ensure that measures are in place to make their experience with Shopee more secure. What we want is for our shoppers to continue enjoying the benefits of online shopping, as this has become an essential part of their daily lives,” Yu added.

Handy nutrition hacks for a healthy you

We’ve all been there–raring to eat healthy but falter when we do our grocery runs. With the sea of available food choices, navigating through the aisles can be a dizzying chore. Here are a few tips to help you skip the stress and fill your cart with healthier food choices!




Lemons pack a punch


Looking to level up your cooking? Lemons help you lose weight and boost your immune system–one lemon alone contains half your daily dose of vitamin C. Squeeze them on top of your favorite dish to add extra zest, or dunk a few slices in a jar for a refreshing glass of lemon-infused water.



Honey never spoils




Honey lasts forever. Its low moisture content keeps bacteria from surviving and it’s acidic enough to ward off most bacteria. It is also rich in antioxidants and is good for your blood sugar levels. Try replacing sugar with honey in your coffee, tea, and morning bowl of oatmeal.





“Low fat” means “added sugar”


When striving to live a healthier lifestyle, it’s natural to gravitate towards labels that say ‘low fat’ or ‘light.’ However, you might want to think twice. It usually means the food contains added sugar which can actually make you gain weight. Sugar, not fat, is your diet's main enemy. Try to opt for food with low sugar content instead of low fat.



"Organic" does not always mean healthy


In recent years, 'organic' and 'gluten-free' have become diet buzzwords. However, just because something is promoted as such doesn’t mean it’s healthy. Truth is, organic sugar is still sugar, and gluten-free junk food is still junk food. Make it a habit to read nutrition fact labels to help you pick your food wisely.



Not all chocolate is bad for you


Here’s a bit of good news: you don’t have to give up chocolate to lead a healthy lifestyle. Dark chocolate is rich in disease-fighting antioxidants and can help lower your blood pressure and risk of heart disease. When you’re craving something sweet, reach for a bar of dark chocolate. It's actually good for you. Hooray!

The journey to eating better can be overwhelming but AIA Vitality is here to make it easier!

Pru Life UK and Ben&Ben hand-in-hand to help Filipino families get the most out of life

Leading life insurer Pru Life UK officially introduced Ben&Ben as its new brand ambassador to help more Filipino families get the most out of life at a fun-filled family day event held at The Island in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.






At the launch, the company talked about how the band perfectly aligns with the company's progressive and inclusive approach in defining a family. Testament to this is the insurer’s recently announced product called PRUHealth FamLove, a first-of-its-kind yearly renewable life insurance and critical illness plan that protects up to four family members under one policy. Under this plan, family members also include same-sex or common-law partners, parents, and adoptive children.



“Like many Filipino families, Ben&Ben is diverse, inclusive, and warmhearted. They resonate with the strong family ties that Filipinos are known for representing both the traditional and modern Filipino families. We are delighted to welcome Ben&Ben into our Pru Life UK family as our new brand ambassador and ally in helping more Filipino families get the most of life,” said Pru Life UK General Manager and Chief Commercial Officer Gilbert Simpao.



The top-rating Original Pilipino Music band who serenaded the crowd with its top hits such as Paninindigan Kita, Kathang Isip and Pagtingin, is a perfect example of both traditional and progressive Filipino families who are doing great things together, recognizing their differences, and celebrating diversity and inclusivity.



The event is Ben&Ben’s first public performance as Pru Life UK’s ally to help Filipino families of different types and sizes get the most out of their lives through PRUHealth FamLove, and its unique and game changing features. The product is designed for customers to share their critical illness protection coverage with different types of family members, including single parents, cohabiting partners, LGBTQ+ partners, and adoptive family members.



The product is also the first in the country as it provides coverage should any major organs require surgery, without the need to remember the long list of critical illnesses. This is a new generation of solutions designed to provide customers with simple, flexible and future-proof protection benefits against unknown diseases. It also provides long-term coverage until age 85.



“Strengthening Filipino families through financial wellness is one of our biggest advocacies at Pru Life UK. We want every Filipino household to have peace of mind by bringing protection closer to everyone. PRUHealth Famlove, with its shareability feature, is a step forward in achieving that as it gives families an affordable and accessible life protection option,” Pru Life UK Senior Vice President and Chief Customer & Marketing Officer Allan Tumbaga said.








In celebration of family diversity and championing individuality, Pru Life UK launched Famvatar, a unique digital experience that lets anyone create a personalized group avatar starring one’s family. Users can then use their unique, fun-filled chat stickers in group chats and more.

Entravision MediaDonuts, Anzu Partner to Bring Award-winning In-game Advertising Platform to SE Asia

Leading digital marketing performance and branding solutions platform Entravision MediaDonuts has partnered with Anzu.io to bring the most advanced in-game advertising platform to advertisers, developers, and players in Southeast Asia.






Entravision MediaDonuts will now represent Anzu in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, enabling advertisers in these markets to tap into the power of real-world ads inside gaming platforms.



The partnership will provide brands with a sophisticated channel where they could run campaigns in some of the most popular titles by Ubisoft, Saber Interactive, Amanotes, and other leading game developers. These video and banner ads via blended but highly viewable IAB-compliant formats can appear as stadium banners, billboards, buildings, or other 3D renditions to complement the gameplay and make the user experience more realistic.



Data shows that the global gaming audience, now at 3.1 billion, spends an average of 1 hour and 20 minutes of game time per session, or almost 8 hours a week. More than 1.4 billion of them come from the Asia-Pacific, with Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia topping the list of the highest number of gamers in the world, according to the Global Web Index of 2020.



In terms of revenue, gaming became twice as big as the film and music industries combined in 2020 with $175 billion. Through Entravision MediaDonuts’ expertise in managing full-service campaigns, advertisers can target a multi-billion-dollar industry that is touted as the fastest-growing form of entertainment worldwide.



“Southeast Asia has seen phenomenal growth in gaming in recent years, home to over half of all the world’s gamers. Our partnership with MediaDonuts means advertisers in SEA can now reach this massive, rapidly growing audience with in-game advertising that preserves the gameplay experience. Thanks to our patented, adaptive technology, first-to-market in-game ad viewability measurement with Oracle Moat, and full suite of third-party integrations with AdTech vendors, advertisers will be able to achieve this huge reach in a measurable, cost-effective way,” says Stephanie Lublinski, Head of Partnerships, Emerging Markets at Anzu.



“Gaming in our region has seen incredible growth over the last two years. We’re thrilled to partner with Anzu to bring its groundbreaking, nondisruptive in-game advertising solutions to 8 countries in APAC,” says Entravision MediaDonuts CEO Pieter-Jan de Kroon. “Asia will remain a mobile-first gaming region, but we also see growth in console gaming so advertisers can now connect with consumers across all gaming platforms, leveraging Anzu’s full suite of advertising solutions.”

Filippo Berio: His Signature. Our Promise.

Since the mid-1800s, the Filippo Berio brand has become synonymous with Italian olive oil excellence thanks to modern production facilities, uncompromising quality standards, and strong brand integrity. Its unique flavor has made it one of the leading brands in the world.




If Filippo Berio was particularly proud of one thing, it was the exceptional quality of his olive oils. He worked hard to ensure that each bottle was made from the best olives using tried and true production methods.

In every deliciously rich bottle of Filippo Berio olive oil lies 150 years of skilled craftsmanship. We treat our heritage with great care, ensuring Filippo Berio’s signature today represents the same uncompromising quality that our founder intended.

Today, his stringent quality standards are still applied at every stage of the production process, which takes place in SALOV’s state-of-the-art production facility just outside Lucca, Italy.

Filippo Berio’s highly-experienced tasters sample 6,000 olive oils each year, yet only 6% are selected to become Filippo Berio olive oil.

During the selection process, analysis stages must be passed for olive oil to be considered Extra Virgin.

The very best and purest form of olive oil is extra virgin which is stored or bottled immediately after pressing, just as it is. To obtain this prestigious classification, the olive oil must undergo a range of stringent tests to ensure its acidity levels are below 0.8%. All oils above this limit are sent to a refinery and blended with extra virgin olive oils to add flavor, the resulting product is known as standard or pure olive oil.


Filippo Berio Olive Oil has become a staple ingredient in the kitchen that some of the country's renowned chefs use as an everyday cooking oil.

“What’s great about using Filippo Berio olive oil is that you get a longer shelf life with your pastries than butter,” says Chef Angelo Comsti.

“Filippo Berio Extra Virgin olive oil, it’s really high quality, very flavorful and they’re experts in olive oils” says Chef Jackie Laudico.

Filippo Berio Oils are also certified Kosher and Halal.

Aside from high-quality olive oils, Filippo Berio creates delicious Pestos. Pesto is an Italian sauce. The name ‘Pesto’ derives from the Italian verb, pestare, meaning to crush or grind. Available in the market are the classic pesto, sun-dried tomato pesto, and tomato and ricotta pesto.

Filippo Berio also has Balsamic Vinegar of Modena which is made from specially selected grapes and assures its origin in Modena, Italy which is known for its production of Balsamic Vinegar. Its unique flavor, a perfect complement to our fine Extra Virgin Olive Oil, is ideal for salad dressings, marinades, or even drizzled over grilled fish, meat, and vegetables.

Filippo Berio is available in all major supermarkets nationwide and in e-commerce platforms like Lazada and Shopee.

To know more about Filippo Berio and discover its products, cool recipes, videos, chefs’ tips, and more, you may visit the official Filippo Berio global website, Facebook, and Instagram.
