Downy Sports 24 Hour All-Star Freshness Challenge

desslifestyleblogLeave a comment

Feeling stinky when you perspire? Dont sweat it! Nico Bolzico and Alex Gonzaga puts New Downy Sports to an Extreme Freshness Challenges.

Manila, Philippines – February 2019 – More and more Filipinos are living an active lifestyle, and getting into various sports and outdoor activities. The Philippines being tropical and humid in nature –  it is very challenging to remain smelling fresh all day. Some even shy away from extreme physical activity because of fears that they won’t smell good from all the sweating.

But don’t sweat it! Downy, the world’s best-selling fabric enhancer, recently launched the New Downy Sports – the first and only fabric enhancer in the world with 24-hour odor protection technology for your clothes. It is designed to provide active individuals engaged in extreme physical activities the confidence of a long-lasting refreshing scent even on sweaty days.

Proving that smelling fresh and feeling great can be possible despite prolonged physical activities, Downy Sports recently held the 24-Hour All-Star Freshness Challenge, an afternoon of intense basketball games pitting celebrity-led teams headed by actress and vlogger Alex Gonzaga, as well

as soccer player and fitness enthusiast Nico Bolzico.

In one intense afternoon, members of Team Alex and Team Nico gathered at the Kerry Sports Plaza over at Shangri-la at The Fort to test each others basketball wits and sweat in the court. Making up Team Alex were Thirdy Ravena, Michele Gumabao, and Maricel Laxa – Pangilinan. Team Nico, on the other hand, had Kianna Dy, Joanne Villablanca, and Anton Del Rosarion. Each all-star team was coached by professional basketball stars including LA Tenorio, JC Intal, Asi Taulava, Jeff Chan, Marc Pingris, and Robert Bolick.

Members of each team wore jerseys rinsed with Downy Sports, whose innovative malodor-removing technology is activated by friction. Rubbing the clothes releases perfume bubbles that keep the fabrics smelling fresh all day long.

After hours of intense action, including lay-up matches, a dribbling obstacle course, and a basketball game, the players hung their jerseys in an all-star freshness gallery. The players were astounded that despite the tremendous amount of sweat accumulated from the afternoon of intense action, the jerseys smelle amazingly fresh.

“This is just awesome. My jersey still smells great even if its drenched in sweat. And the best thing is that i feel fresh. Considering my lifestyle, I’ll definitely make sure that my clothes are washes with Downy Sports so that l’ll always smell fresh. Definitely, wifezilla-approved!” said Nico Bolzico.

Alex agreed. “I can’t believe that my jersey still smells good even after those sweaty games. Downy Sports is really a refreshing discovery, and now I know I’ll get to stay fresh all day – whether it’s for sports or for the everyday hustle with tapings, vlogging, events, and shopping!”

Downy Sports extreme malodor protectoon is expected to benefit millions of Filipinos who want to continue living an active lifestyle with the confidence of having 24-hour odor protection, even through sweat!

“The Philippines is a tropical country with high humidity so people tend to sweat a lot, especially when they engage in physical activities and sports. Many complain of the stench in their clothes whenever they sweat. We are confident that with the New Downy Sports 24-hour deodorant protection, Filipinos will be assured that they will smell and feel fresh even

in extreme sweaty situations in their daily routine,” said Cedric Le Goff, Country Category Leader for  Downy Philippines.

Don’t sweat the small stuff. Make the most of an active lifestyle as you stay fresh and confident with Downy Sports.

Downy Sports is now available in all major retailers nationwide, and online via Shopee at

Nestle Nankid Reshape The Future

desslifestyleblogLeave a comment

 Nestlé NANKID executives, along with parents, moderators, and speakers unite to

#ReshapeTheFuture by fostering an Optimal Growth Mindset.

Failure is life’s greatest teacher but few parents want their children to experience its pains.  In today’s increasingly complex world, raising children can be a challenge for parents, most of who would not want to see their children experience difficulties. 

Massive technological changes, changing worldviews, and constant disruptions have made the world much more complex, but these have also created ample opportunities for learning and growth.  Amidst uncertainties and continuous change, parents have to ensure that their children learn and grow from the challenges that they will inevitably encounter in their growing-up years. By developing an optimal growth mindset and adapting an optimal diet and lifestyle, parents can help set their kids up for the future.

Recognizing that parents need support in reshaping the future of their children, Nestlé NANKID utilizes expertise with advocacy, to help reshape the future for the next generation, with Parentology+. 

Achieving an optimal growth mindset begins with optimal nutrition. And this year, Nestlé NANKID is giving parents the opportunity to be able to foster a holistic and continual growth of a child in all aspects—emotional, nutritional, physical, psychological, and social development, through Parentology+: The Reshape Effect Forum. 

The forum, held last January 15 at Whitespace Makati, aimed to help parents better understand their role in reshaping the future of their children. Hosted by the Philippines’ premier talk show host, Boy Abunda, the event was joined by well-known parenting experts from the international and local scenes. 

Among them were Melissa Benaroya, LICSW, a renowned parent, coach, and speaker from Costa Rica whose extensively studied the Growth Mindset movement. In addition, Melissa aims to be able to share unique strategies on raising children; Didi Manahan, MSEd, a progressive learning advocate and co-founder of Keys School Manila, where she serves as head directress, and Dr. Josephine Sunga, MD, FPPS, MSc, pediatrician and epidemiologist who champions nutrition as a key ingredient towards children’s optimal development through her research.

Parents and guests of the forum were also able to participate in activities that allowed them to learn practical tips and lessons on how they can nurture an optimal growth mindset within themselves and their families, thereby creating an environment that will nurture their child’s minds and hearts.

Some of the activities were “Reshaping Your Language”, where participants learned that adults have the power over how our language can affect kids. Phrasing statements to curiosity questions can help the kids get a feeling of being included in the decision-making.

In “As Easy As Riding A Bike”, guests were asked to reminisce their first time riding a bike, and its process. Melissa retells the story, but instead of biking, she likens the experience to parenting – the joy of seeing others’ kids, the challenge once you’ve had your own child, the constant toil of new developments, the parental instinct imbibed in you once you’ve experienced it after a long time.

Nutrition plays a vital role in the development of a child. Without providing proper action, a child’s diet may greatly affect his or her overall growth. However, despite the potential health risks children may face due to the environment or because of genetics, there are ways parents can prevent these from happening and help ensure their children are not restricted to achieve their full potential for the future. 

“Nestlé understands that children and their parents face a complex reality, which is why parents should have the tools that will help them pave the way toward their children’s optimal growth and development. Nestlé NANKID provides the optimal nutrition which is essential to growing children’s needs. Coupled with supportive care from parents who allow their children to learn from every opportunity, Nestlé aims to let parents reshape the future, today.” said Ms. Jean Espino, Vice President for Marketing, Nestlé Premium Milks. 

Furthering the Optimal Growth Movement

With its aim to promote the Growth Mindset movement, and how this can be applied in school, Nestlé NANKID also worked with SMILE Group (Specializing in Modern Interactive Learning Experiences), an advocate of STEM and STEAM Methodology committed to help Filipino children develop a growth mindset and 21st century skills, to host a learning symposium entitled “Childproof Teaching: Applying the Growth Mindset in School” with Melissa Benaroya, LICSW, held in Miriam College on the 16th of January; where she imparted her knowledge of child development, empathy, and 21st century skills among students and children that can prepare them for life’s hardships. The event was attended by educators from the Philippines’ progressive schools. 

Indeed, embracing challenges and opening up possibilities are a child’s greatest teacher, and with an optimal growth mindset, backed by optimal nutrition, parents can help reshape their children’s future so they can become the best version of themselves.

Don’t miss the opportunity to learn how to foster optimal development through optimal nutrition and an optimal growth mindset. Help #ReshapeTheFuture today.  Check out Parentology+ at Trinoma Mall on February 2 and 3. Visit www.facebook.com/NANKIDOPTIPRO for more details.

desslifestyleblogLeave a comment

MANILA – December 7, 2018 – Smile Train, the world’s leading cleft charity, has partnered with food storage maker Glad Philippines for the third year in a row to help spread smiles and love this Christmas season.

“Every year we are Glad-To-Give back to Smile Train as we believe we can bring more smiles to children, families, our consumers and partners for the holiday season,” said Mr. Paulo Lao, Sales and Marketing Director for Southeast Asia of the Clorox Company, which owns Glad. “Our continuing partnership with Smile Train is a product of the company’s profound commitment to helping others.”

The event was held at Sarsa Kitchen + Bar BGC where i first met Ms Kimmy of Smile Train. She invited me to sit next to her and join them for a wonderful dinner. 

Ms. Kimmy together with Glad Kitchen discussed about there campaign and some of the press interviewed her. 

Then after the dinner we transfered to Mercato Centrale for a cooking demo with Celebrity Mom Dimples Romana using Glad Kitchen products. The Glad-To-Give campaign is Glad’s social response to encourage its patrons to perform acts of kindness. Under the partnership with Smile Train, the #GladToGiveSmiles program allows proceeds from the purchase of Glad food wraps, zipper bags, and storage containers from booths in Mercato Centrale at Bonifacio Global City on December 7-8  and Glorietta on December 13-14 to benefit Smile Train’s cleft programs.

“We are grateful that we have long-term partners like Glad, who value corporate social responsibility and partnerships that will benefit those in need,” said Kimmy Coseteng-Flaviano, Smile Train’s Area Director for the South East Asia. “This initiative gives more cleft patients another reason to smile and teaches them the value of giving, especially for the holidays.”

More than 20,000 new babies with clefts are born every year around the globe. Without access to proper treatment, these babies often have difficulty eating, breathing, speaking, and ultimately thriving. Smile Train’s sustainable model empowers local medical professionals with training and resources to provide 100%-free, quality, and safe cleft care to children in need in their own communities.
