Celebrity mom Solenn Heusaff supports her overall health through gut care with fiber supplementation every day

C-Lium Fibre Elaborates on the Many Benefits of  
Psyllium Fiber in New Campaign 

 

C-Lium Fibre, the leading Psyllium fiber supplement ¹ underscores  
the benefits of Psyllium fiber in its 2022 campaign, that tackles the importance of gut health in achieving overall wellness. 
 
DUAL CLEANSING ACTION 
Sourced from the Plantago ovata’s seeds, Psyllium fiber has two kinds of fiber: soluble and insoluble.² Soluble Fiber helps remove excess fat, sugar, and bad cholesterol, while insoluble fiber gently sweeps them out of the digestive system.³ 
 
GUT HEALTH IMPACTS OVERALL HEALTH 
With these actions, Psyllium fiber helps cleanse the body of wastes and toxins and  
relieves constipation.  It also aids^.in lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and assists in weight management ⁴ along with proper diet and exercise. 
 
Psyllium Fiber also feeds the gut’s good bacteria (also known as probiotics), ⁵ which support the immune system.⁶ Given all these benefits especially to the gut which helps prevent certain chronic diseases, Psyllium fiber plays a key role in achieving overall health and wellness.⁷ 
 
NATURAL SOURCES 
Although fiber can be found in natural food sources, it is usually a challenge to get the required 25 grams⁸ we need daily.  To supplement your daily fiber requirement, there‘s  
C-Lium Fibre in regular husk and capsule formats. It is made from 100% natural psyllium with no preservatives and no artificial colors. 
 
START EVERY DAY RIGHT  
Psyllium fiber is best taken at the start of the day⁹ thus the brand’s message of “starting every day right”.  C-Lium Fibre can be taken before or during breakfast. 
 
SOLENN HEUSAFF AND HER HEALTHY LIFESTYLE 
Fitness enthusiast, artist, and mother of one Solenn Heussaff, who has been taking C-Lium Fibre long before she became an endorser, could not agree more on the benefits of fiber supplementation and  
on taking it at the onset of each day. 
 
The multi-faceted fitness enthusiast says: “Because I am always doing so many different things, I do my best to be healthy.” Heusaff adds: “Adding psyllium fiber to my daily diet promotes gut care, which is essential to my overall health.” That’s why I take C-Lium Fibre every day”. 
 
C-Lium Fibre is available in all major drugstores nationwide and at PascualLab’s flagship Shopee and Lazada stores. It comes in capsule and husk formats as well as in flavored variants (Mango, Dalandan, and Pineapple). Join our FB community @C-LiumFibre to get updates on the latest in health and for promos.

“This is really very special and important to me because first of all I’ll be sharing this beautiful moment with my supporters and that’s what I’m really looking forward to as well. I can’t wait to share the bond between a performer and an audience,” Anji shared.

Though tight-lipped about the must-see performances she prepared for her digital concert, the former “Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity Season 10” celebrity housemate assured that a full-on concert vibe is to be expected as well as lots of relatable ‘feels.’

During the “Feels The Concert” virtual media conference, Anji also shared her dream of incorporating a part of her hometown Siargao into the show.

“Siargao is where I grew up and doon bumuo ng family ‘yung parents ko. I wanted to bring my whole family sa concert ko and I wanted to sing with them all. I want to share it with them para mas special ‘yung moment,” she said.

Anji recently dropped her first self-written single “Dalampasigan,” which symbolizes her memories of spending time at the beach in Siargao as well as the comfort of spending her childhood with her father.

VIP and regular tickets for the ABS-CBN Events-led “Feels: The Concert” are still available for purchase at KTX.ph, which are priced at P399 and P199 respectively. The SVIP tickets, which include a behind-the-scenes documentary of the concert aside from access to a Zoom after-party and main concert link, have already sold out.

SM Prime’s Costa Del Hamilo, Inc. Safeguards a 20-hectare Mangrove Forest

Ang karapat-dapat umupo, iyong tulad mong tumatayo’: Leni’s authenticity sparks inspiration for Moira dela Torre’s newest song, ‘Ipanalo Natin ‘To’.

Moira dela Torre surprised fans and supporters alike as she debuted ‘Ipanalo Natin To’ during the Talindeg Pangasinan: Dagupan Grand Rally for Leni Robredo held earlier this month.

“I have kind of tried to stay away from politics as much as I can,” Moira reveals, during an interview before her onstage performance at the Grand Rally. “Because I wasn’t well-researched before. I didn’t really know where to find my facts kasi andaming nakalatag online and with our libraries. So I didn’t know what happened for real. I was one of those na I wanted to be neutral for a while. I thought being neutral promoted peace.”

At 28 years old, Moira is well-known for chart-topping singles ‘Malaya’ and ‘Tagpuan.’ In March, after publicly showing her support for the Leni Robredo-Kiko Pangilinan tandem, she was embroiled in a social media misinformation campaign that alluded to her being paid to perform in the campaign. She responds with a, “Hindi kami binayaran.”

Moira credits singer-songwriter Lolito Go as the person who introduced her to VP Leni. “He is so encouraging. Hindi sya nanghihila pababa. So when he posts about VP Leni, wala syang kailangan siraan para itaas si VP Leni. And that really captured my attention.”

She adds, “I started researching on VP Leni, started researching what she’s done, until I just fell in love with her.”

This echoes with the other testaments of the Filipino youth netizens, who ‘fell in love’ with Leni’s clean record and projects focusing on the marginalized sectors of the country.

And thus began the journey of Moira finally penning the final lyrics for ‘Ipanalo Natin To.’

The song, initially written by Lolito Go, was inspired by a placard boldly stating, “Lagi ka na lang nakatayo. Umupo ka na kaya ng 6 years?”

On the topic of the creation of the song, she recalls the story of her first attendance in Leni’s Grand Rally in Zamboanga.

“I’ve watched rallies before and I’ve seen how it’s been an entertainment thing,” she begins, “But VP Leni just said, ‘Hi, Zamboanga!’; and you already feel that this person is so genuine with her love for the country.”

“When she finished her speech, I just knew I was supporting the right person,” she quips. “So I got home. I saw the initial song that Sir Lolito sent me, and I rewrote it; and now we have ‘Ipanalo Natin To’.”

When asked about what she felt about being in the campaign, she says, “I feel so fulfilled, […]  because I finally saw hope again, seeing how VP Leni stands up everyday in front of thousands of people.”

On the topic of the negative campaigning VP Leni receives, Moira spoke of how inspiring the vice-president is in the way she addresses it.

“Pwede syang magpaapekto sa lahat ng tinatapon sa kanyang paninira,” she begins, “But instead of hate, bitterness, [ang] umiiral sa kanya, it’s love—it’s love for the country. It’s her passion for change; it’s her compassion for people.”

As with the numerous stories of hope brought about by VP Leni and her projects, it seems even stars aren’t immune to the inspiration and call to action the presidential aspirant has been evoking in people. Moira’s new song is a culmination of how goodwill and the willingness to serve inspire people to pay it forward.

“I’m hoping this song will help spark limitless strength and encouragement for everybody who needs to hear [it], so we can fight the good fight.”

SM Turns to Rain Water Harvesting a key to Living Flood Free

Climate change is real and Filipinos are among those who can attest to the devastating effects it brings to everyday life. Faced with about 20 typhoons a year, the Asian Development Bank reported that the total impact from storms have reached about US$20 billion from 1990 to 2020. It causes a temporary disruption due to mass evacuations which bring about an average of 2-8% reduction in gross domestic product annually.

Despite the reoccurring devastation felt during calamities, Filipinos still manage to see the humorous side of life and are often reported as one of the happiest people in the world. However, this may soon be tested as, according to the latest report of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, things are about to get worse as the planet heats up, accelerating the effects of climate change and making the Philippines more vulnerable to drastic changes in weather patterns.

On average, the Philippines receives about 2,400 millimeters of rainfall each year, one of the highest in the world. While this poses a problem for the country, there is a silver lining, as it can also be the solution for water scarcity. However, currently the Philippines only harvests around 6% of its rainwater compared to India which harvests around 60% of the 700-millimeter average rainfall it receives each year.

Rain Water – a friend or a foe?

Water is a scarce resource. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal number 6 identifies access to clean water as one of the global priorities to be achieved by 2030. Aligned to its environmental responsibility programs, SM takes a closer look at the use of water and how it can be turned from a foe to a friend.

SM builds its malls and integrated lifestyle cities with resilience and sustainability in mind. Understanding the value of water, SM builds rain water catchments in its malls to harvest large volumes of rain water particularly in flood prone areas.

“We approach it two ways: resilience – to help communities be flood free; and sustainability – to optimize water which is a scarce resource so we can use it for other purposes rather than just waste it,” says Architect Fides Garcia-Hsu, Vice President at SM Engineering Design and Development.

Vermont Park and Vermont Royale are two communities that once saw rain as a foe. Every time it rained, their neighborhoods ended up under water, damaging their homes. Today, home owners welcome the rain as water that can be harvested and stored for future use. The reason? SM City Masinag’s rain water catchment facility!   It has a 17,681 cubic meter water capacity. The two communities connected their drainage systems to the mall which is equipped with three 30HP submersible pumps which are used to pump out accumulated rain water.

“Wherever SM is, we try to help our communities become resilient to changing weather patterns,” explains Arch. Garcia-Hsu. “Nationwide, we have 20 malls equipped with rainwater catchment facilities that help rain water management to avoid flash floods for surrounding communities.”

As a company SM invests 10% of its capital expenditure to integrate disaster resilient and sustainability features in its malls and integrated lifestyle city designs. “We take a long-term view on resilience and when we talk about sustainability, we look at how we can address perennial problems like flooding and address systemic change,” Arch. Garcia-Hsu expounds.

Serving as pioneers in the installation of rain water catchment facilities, SM was instrumental in the passing ordinances and inclusion of the installation of water catchment facilities for developments by regulatory bodies. In recent years, Senator Manny Pacquiao passed the ‘Rain Water Harvesting Act – Senate Bill 1309’ mandating the establishment, maintenance and management of rain water harvesting systems in the country.

 “Aside from building resilient infrastructure, we also build the resilience of our stakeholders by providing disaster preparedness training through our SM Cares programs,” shared Chito Bauzon, SM Cares Marketing Asst. Vice President. “We have programs targeted to senior citizens and those with special needs as they are the ones left most vulnerable during times of calamities.”

With the threat of climate change looming, typhoons are only expected to get stronger with intensified rainfall. With more Filipinos moving to urban centers, the Philippines will need to retrofit its cities for resiliency or build new sustainability cities to finally live flood free.
