Raising a healthy child is mom’s ultimate achievement. As a mom, you are constantly worried about your baby’s development; you would like them to experience new things, but you are also afraid of what these new things can bring. Thankfully, moms have the healthy pillars to help them as they raise their kids and navigate the world of motherhood. Interconnected with each other, these pillars are integral during the first steps of a baby’s development, making sure that they’re all set as moms nurture them. Cetaphil Baby advocates the Four Healthy Pillars: Healthy Food, Healthy Play, Healthy Sleep, and Healthy Skin. Each pillar is important for baby's health and development, and skin is such an important part of their overall health, because it will protect them throughout their life. Cetaphil Baby offers moms the best way to give babies the right foundation for healthy skin by supporting its development as it matures from its earliest stages onward.

Mabining Mandirigma return to CCP Little Theater this
2019 as opener for its 33rd season of Tanghalang Pilipino, as they
continue its advocacy of educating our new generations of historic past and
learn from our very own heroes that shape our nation today, and that is Apolinario
Mabini, the Filipino revolutionary leader, lawyer and statesman that is
identified because of his being a paralytic.
This year restaging is so far one of the refine compare
to its previous production, the music and lyrics is masterfully crafted, thanks
to Ejay Yatco who did some changes as the musical director, however it may
sound so pop this time and we find it okay for good.
It tells a biography story of Mabini, from his early days
working in a convent until further his study to law up to being an adviser to
the first republic government of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, the first President of
the Philippines. It also shows us his situation during exile in the US soil,
and how lonely life became one greatness due to his love for Inang bayan.
I may agree to some critic that the play is not only
centered and focus to its main goal in storytelling, there are some scenes that
are not needed anymore, they didn’t even answer the reason why Mabini became
paralytic, to which many young ones today are curious about it.
Monique Wilson is returning in Philippine stage via Mabining
Mandirigma after many years of living and working abroad, it is a good comeback
for her since the Mabini role is an iconic to portray from a woman perspective,
it is a joy a to watch Ms. Wilson in this restaging.
Historically this play is a good to watch, it provides a
lot of important dates and happening during the Aguinaldo term, it could be boring
but believe the production numbers are all good to understand it, colorful and
funny in a way.

Spoliarium, an opera with libretto by Soprano Fides Cuyugan-Asensio and with music by Ryan Cayabyab was the first production I saw pertaining to the life of Juan Luna. Originally staged at the CCP in 2003 starring Robert Seña at the titular role, the opera was staged in Tribeca Performing Arts Center in New York thirteen years later. Philippine Stagers Foundation (PSF) current production of "Obra Ni Juan " was my follow-up. This original Filipino musical entertainment was written by Atty. Vince Tañada, PSF President and Artistic Director and with music by Peter Paul "Pipo" Cifra, president of UST Conservatory of Music Alumni Association Incorporated, marked as my first production I saw from PSF.
