NEWS FLASH: Plane Boarded by Sec. Jesse Robredo Crashed in Masabate Shores

While I was watching Tv tonight a news alert was shown on TV. According to reports, DILG Sec. Jesse Robredo boarded a Cessna plane from Mactan going to Naga. The plane's engine had some trouble. The pilot still managed to send a message and was advised to divert to Masbate Airport. But 1 or 2 kms before they can land safely, the plane crashed in the shores of Masbate.

Apparently DILG Sec. Robredo's escort, Capt. Jun Abrazado survived the crash. There were also unconfirmed reports that Sec. Robredo was already rescued by a fisherman in a radio report.

Right now the, ongoing novena is happening at the Robredo house at Nag and rescue operations are now underway.

I was shocked at the news as he is one of the few government officials that I give my respect to. I hope we could all join his family in offering prayers for his safety and the two pilots reported to be missing as well.

What’s nice about HEALTHCheQ is that all the laboratories or exams one has to undergo will be done within half a day in any of Healthway’s facilities. No more worrying that you will have to wait for days just to know the results.

KATY PERRY: Part of Me in 3D Soon

I know somehow you have sung one of her top-charting songs (  ). And these these time if you would love to know more about these monumental girl who was the first ever music artist (female) to have 5 no.1 songs in one album, then this movie is for you.

Dubbed as the " KATY PERRY: Part of Me"" in 3D.  The genesis of the project lies with the artist herself:  “I could instinctively feel that something important was about to happen that year—it felt like this big wave was coming, and it felt like it was going to be a long one.  So, I reached out to two filmmakers and said, ‘Hi, guys, I’d like to you come on the road and document the ride.’”
That ride was a yearlong world tour – selling out 124 arena shows – across the United States, Europe, South America and the Far East, and cameras were able to not only capture the palpable excitement and fun of her live concerts, but also to follow Perry back to the ‘reality’ of her day-to-day life, away from the stage lights and candy-colored costumes.  Frank interviews with those who perhaps know the real Katy best—her family and her assembled family of “Team Perry”—offer glimpses into Perry’s background, as well as create a picture of a woman giving her all onstage…while pressing personal challenges await offstage.   

Per Katy:   This movie is a journey.  Last year, I had a year I’ll never be able to re-create…amazing highs and some big lows, but that’s life.  Everyone goes through the good and the bad, but it makes you stronger.  But no matter what, as with my live concerts, my ultimate goal with this movie is to make people smile.”







FINE Hyaluron & Collagen Now Available in Watson's Outlets !!!


Japan’s best-held longevity and beauty secret, FINE Hyaluron & Collagen dubbed as an EDIBLE COSMETIC, is already available in 270 Watson’s outlets here in the Philippines. Made by Osaka-based FINE Co. of Japan, a  four-decade company and a leading player in the global “nutraceutical industry,”  distributed here in the Philippines by its subsidiary, Fine Nutrition Trading International

According to Imelda Manook-Tesalona, a businesswoman and licensed pharmacist and President of Fine Nutrition Trading International, the local subsidiary of Osaka-based FINE Company, Japan’s leading player in the global nutraceutical industry, said that this breakthrough development also means that more and more Filipinos will gain access to help them combat aging and other signs of physical weaknesses.
 
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Tesalona, a licensed pharmacist fully abreast with handling businesses and other important information about breakthroughs in the wellness and longevity sector, readily saw the potential of FINE Hyaluron & Collagen and other organically produced products of FINE Company of Japan, which made her decide to bring the product to the Philippines. Being a leader and well respected company in Japan, there is no doubt in her mind that the product she brought is credible and should be trusted.

TRIALS AND VICTORIES
Tesalona enthuses that every FINE Hyaluron & Collagen user has his or her own testimonial to share, some of them doctors of nearby hospitals. What they said were all about concrete proof of the product’s benefits like growing sturdier nails and more radiant hair, to freedom from arthritic pains to firmer breasts to lessening of wrinkles.

Tesalona also bared she owes her success to her mentor, the Director of FINE Group Ltd. in Hong Kong, Takeshi Hayashi, the Japanese tycoon who gave her his trust and opened the doors for her to become the exclusive distributor in the Philippines.

Under her able stewardship, her company has gone a long way from a mere affiliate to a full-fledged subsidiary. The parent company expressed satisfaction about FINE Hyaluron & Collagen’s status in the country as more people get to know the product’s outstanding attributes particularly on Collagen’s anti-ageing and aesthetic solutions and more recently, the breakthrough heralded by Hyaluronic acid.

BULLISH ON THE LOCAL MARKET

There is really nothing in the market like FINE Hyaluron & Collagen, which Tesalona says is several notches up when it comes to potency and effectiveness. Together with Hyaluron (60mg), Collagen (5,250mg) and Elastin (15mg) as its main ingredients give a synergistic  toward healthier  and more beautiful skin, plus, Vitamin C (100mg), Biotin (45mcg) and Pearl Coix extract (450mg) for more radiant and glowing skin. A lifting supplement, simple once a day empty content of 7g sachet of FINE Hyaluron & Collagen, mix with your favorite hot or cold beverages like coffee, tea, milk, juice, even soup and ENJOY! 

Tesalona cannot hide her bullishness about FINE Hyaluron & Collagen’s future in the Philippines. FINE Hyaluron & Collagen has been present in some of the world’s more advanced countries and cities, including the United States, Europe, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and more.

“I don’t think the people of these countries could be wrong in using the product. Now that it is already available in the entire country, there’s now no need for people to go to these countries to buy this top-notch solution to aging signs and physical weakness.” explains Tesalona.

No wonder FINE and Tesalona has its hopes up in the Philippine market.
