We welcome the recent announcement of the President that two leading US beverage companies will be investing in the coconut water industry for marketing and distribution in the United States.

However, perhaps we should ask if there is a long-term strategic arrangement that could be more advantageous to our country and our people than simply being a grower and supplier for foreign brands, especially if those brands also source from other coconut-producing countries in Latin America, Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia.

Don’t you just love finding a versatile gem that can be used for pretty much anything? In the paradise of Southeast Asia, this gem could be considered in the form of coconuts. This tropical fruit, although widely used for creating refreshments on hot summer days, has benefits that span health, beauty, and even cooking. If you aren’t too familiar, it can be surprising to discover the broad range of uses and capabilities one fruit offers.

The effect of having healthy, nourished hair in an overall great-looking appearance can often be overlooked by many people. Our personal care routines tend to be so focused on skincare and makeup that we forget how big of an impact hair has in changing a look or completing the vibe we are going for. 

Dogs with cloud-like appearances, such as white and cotton-soft fur, are inarguably some of the cutest pets. However, keeping your white dog’s fur spotless is a big challenge.

The Philippine economy needs a drastic paradigm shift. Our country will never achieve inclusive economic growth nor prosperity for all Filipinos unless we revolutionize our dysfunctional business model. We all keep selling to the poor “masa” when we should be buying from them.

Being a dog owner has got to be one of the happiest feelings known to mankind. Not to exaggerate, but dogs are cute, fun, comforting, and all that, right? But as a pet owner, you know it comes with the unending cycle of dealing with their waste, and it is not easy!

Building a healthy bedtime routine that allows you to sleep at the right time and watch a sufficient resting time is something we all wish to be as easy as just getting ready for bed. It’s not rocket science to know the importance of sleep; everyone experiences the difference when you get longer and a higher quality of sleep compared to inconsistent naps and interrupted nights of sleep. Unfortunately, achieving this can be difficult for many reasons, even with prioritized personal care and a good number of preparatory steps.

As people who love to snack, it’s natural to look for ways to stay healthy while satisfying our food cravings. And when you decide to pick up that bag of crisps that says “Mushroom Chips,” it makes perfect sense to find out whether it’s actually healthy or just made to look like so.

The world is currently on a trend of improving and prioritizing personal care, which has popularized many takes and variations to cater to diversified preferences and skin types. This shift towards self-care and personal grooming has significantly influenced the beauty industry, driving innovation and creating new products that address a wide array of skin concerns and beauty goals. The emphasis on self-care is not just a fleeting trend but a reflection of a broader cultural shift towards wellness and holistic health.
