By Suzette Jessica
How does one celebrate 40 years of a highly successful business enterprise? If that business happens to be Wilcon Depot, it does it with a bang. For the whole month of October, loyal customers of the construction supply chain had the chance to join a raffle that won each of 40 lucky customers Wilcon e-gift certificates worth P40,000.
During the launch of its 40th anniversary promotion, which was attended by the company’s executives and industry and media partners at Marco Polo Ortigas Manila, Wilcon Depot founder and chairman emeritus William Belo expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the continuous support the company has been receiving.
“This is one way of keeping and fulfilling our promise in building big ideas for Filipinos. We are giving you the assurance that we are committed in carrying our products and experiences with the same amount of passion and service that we have for the last 40 years,” Belo said.
On the other hand, Wilcon Depot SEVP-Chief Operating Officer Rosemarie B. Ong said, “This is our way of giving back to our customers for their unceasing patronage that can certainly add thrill and excitement in their home shopping experience. We always look forward and think big in conceptualizing to give only the best kind of promo offerings to our clients.” For the past 40 years, Wilcon Depot has been the preferred supplier of construction materials and equipments and all things related to realizing your dream home.

A new way of addressing health concerns
Men, who are asked the first thing they see in a woman, qualify themselves as being a “leg man” or a “boob man.” When it comes to issues concerning libido, there is no right or wrong answer. Some men prefer women with smaller figures, while others drool over big bumpers, so to speak.
But what if you see the big mommas on big papas? It does really happen that some adolescent boys have more than normal-sized breasts than is usually associated with benign pubertal changes. This is called gynecomastia, and boys usually outgrow this condition without treatment.
Growth spurts, as they call it, disturb the endocrine system that lead to imbalances in the ratio of estrogens and androgens in the body. But gynecomastia doesn’t happen only during puberty. Declining testosterone levels and an increase in fatty tissue may also lead to this awkward condition in older men. Although many would think this is natural occurrence since we all gain weight as we age, lead sedentary lifestyles, and eat more, this is not so, said Dr. Cenia Lucas-Acevedo, Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) specialist, certified in Belgium for Anti-Aging Medicine (Interventional Endocrinology) and Nutritional Medicine.
“We do need a balanced diet, exercise, adequate sleep, sun exposure and grounding, the not-sonew concept of having proper electromagnetic status, to be in good health,” said Dr. Acevedo. But sometimes, there is a deficiency in growth hormones or vitamins that occurs as men get older, or even in younger men in some cases. And it isn’t just more pronounced breasts. A drop in testosterone and zinc could result in erectile dysfunction. Too much estrogen and a deficiency in cortisol could lead to grumpiness. There’s also depression. “But early detection and correction of the imbalance give men the chance to arrest the condition and lead happier, more productive lives,” she said.
She added,” HOMe is a young branch of medicine that zeroes in on what is deficient in the body and finds out what the toxic elements are. We customize and measure supplements, vitamins and hormones for each patient, because each person is different from the next. We actually complement conventional medicine. We go beyond the organ level and concentrate on the cells. We nurture the healthy cells and help the sick ones recover faster. HOMe gets to the core of the problem only after conducting a series of consultations, blood tests, and evaluation of results.”
Dr. Cenia Lucas-Acevedo currently does home/office visits, and will make this option available to clients who value their time and privacy even after her Vivacité clinic opens. Personal assessments are done by appointment, which runs for about an hour. Call 4257302, 0920-8238976, 0917-8944910 (Globe/Viber), and (02) 968-4980, or email clacevedovivacite@gmail.com.

She found her art in the Philippines
Swedish painter and musician Jeanette Kamphuis counts the country as her new home.
If you ask visual artist Jeanette Kamphuis where her home is, she would say it is in the Philippines. After years of traveling around the world, it is only here that she found herself and her art.
Take note: she in not just a painter. She is also a musician. Long before she could talk, she was told that she could already sing. This was when she was growing up in her birth country of Sweden. Her siblings play the violin, cello and piano. Her father was very determined to make her and her siblings play instruments, so they never owned a TV at home back when they were young. They would just focus on music, books and activities, like gardening and training horses at their farm.
Kamphuis discovered her talent in painting when she won an art contest at the age of 8. "I won a competition which I didn’t even know I was in. We watched a play and the next day at school, we were asked to draw anything that we remember. I painted this beautiful ballet girl. Everything was light blue and white dress; that was the impression I had," she relates. That painting was the start of her journey through art,” she said at an interview during the launch of her recent second solo exhibition at VU’s Bar and Lounge, at the 45th floor of Marco Polo Ortigas Manila.
She was like a sponge, learning art styles and replicating them without difficulty. But it was only here that she found her unique style. Kamphuis added, "There is something in the Philippines. You can go and dance. You don't have to dance well, and everybody just encourages you to."
She has been to 96 countries and stayed in the United States for more than a decade before moving here in the Philippines. She started painting at her house, and when people came to visit, they suggested she meet some local artists. And as they say, the rest is history. From then on, she participated in 26 group exhibits and had her first solo show.
While she gets inspiration from people, she also helps out by doing volunteer work and teaching art classes. "I provide music in exhibits or if somebody needs encouragement but does not have money, I still go and play. I also share a lot to artists who ask me how I do this and that," she says.
Indeed, after going around seven continents, Kamphuis and her art have finally found a home.

The essence of a true Filipina
When they say adversity brings out the true character of a person, they must be talking about Myla Villagonzalo-Tsutaichi, businesswoman, wellness expert, international kimono teacher, devoted mother to her three daughters and faithful wife to her husband. None of life’s trials stopped her from achieving the success she enjoys today.
Her father’s death in 2005 forced her to assume the responsibility of being the family breadwinner since she was the eldest of five siblings. There were those who wanted her to fail, even at the cost of her life.
“Before the 40th day of my father’s death, the car my two younger siblings and I were riding was strafed with bullets as we approached the gate of our subdivision. I prayed so hard, and, like a miracle, not one of us was hurt or hit by the bullets,” she said. “I consider this as my second life, and thanked the good Lord for saving me and letting be with my mother and siblings, and with my husband and two young children again in Japan.”
Villagonzalo-Tsutaichi is an Accounting graduate of St. Augustine College in Bulacan, She trained in beauty and spa therapy at Ampai Institute of Beauty in Bangkok and Thai massage and reflexology at Thailand Massage School in Chiang Mai, and took basic kimono teacher’s and advanced kimono teacher’s courses at Hakubi Kimono School in Japan. All these have stood her in good stead. She established Glowing Skin Health & Beauty, an enterprise providing health and beauty products and services to Filipinos and Japanese friends in Japan. Her knowledge on the kimono has made her an invaluable resource person on the topic.
But her success wasn’t purely personal. She also shares whatever blessings she receives with her fellowmen in Japan by supporting their many projects and endeavors as an active church member. She also does charity work for an orphanage for abandoned children in Baliuag, Bulacan, where she hails from.
Among awards she has received in her career are the 2016 World Class Excellence Japan Award, World Class Outstanding Kimono Teacher and Philanthropist of 2016, Gawad Amerika Award Most Outstanding International Kimono Teacher Licence of the Year 2016, 2016 Gawad Pilipino Award Dangal ng Bayan Outstanding Women Empowerment in Japan for Civic Leader, and Gawad Pilipino Japan Ambassador 2016.
Myla Villagonzalo-Tsutaichi definitely triumphed against all odds through hard work and will power. She is a Filipina worth emulating by today’s youths.



R.O.X. Bike Fair successfully mounted Bike For A Cause 2017

R.O.X. (Recreational Outdoor eXchange) was once again at the center of bringing together the local outdoor community with the success of the recently concluded R.O.X. Bike For A Cause. Held last September 23 at Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, Laguna, the family-friendly biking affair was hosted in line with this year’s R.O.X. Bike Fair – a month long bike campaign by R.O.X. which featured a series of bike-related activities and events nationwide.
More than just a biking event, Bike For A Cause was a charity effort held in partnership with Bikes for the Philippines, a non-profit foundation which provides bicycles to less fortunate students around the Philippines, together with Heroes on Wheels, an assistance program of the Center for Outdoor Recreation Expedition created in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan in 2013. Proceeds from this year’s Bike For A Cause was turned over to the studentbeneficiaries of Talahib Pandayan National High School in Batangas City during the event program.
Divided into two categories, the ride proper officially kicked-off at 6:30am and 6:40am for the 26km division and 18km division respectively and witnessed countless bikers of all ages bike together for a meaningful cause. With the route spanning Mahagnao Street and its nearby vicinity, the event managed to offer riders a unique biking experience. For those who were seeking a more challenging experience, the 18km proved ideal as it involved a course made up of 20% road and 80% trail routes. On the other hand, bikers who were after a more leisurely ride enjoyed their time at the 26km all-road biking course. Growing bigger than ever before, this year’s Bike For A Cause was no exception as it managed to gather close to 400 participants!
As a treat for the Bike For A Cause participants, a series of side games and raffle segments were held after the ride proper. Sponsored by the likes of Fox Racing, Bickerton, Headware, 8a Performance, Timbuk2, Spyder, Crazy Safety, Bambike, Nova, and Pocari Sweat, the lucky participant who took home the major raffle prize, being the Bickerton Portables Pilipinas Junction 1706 Bike, was Lani Pangilinan. Other major prizes included the Fox Racing Rampage helmet, Oasis hydration bag, cap, and gloves.
On its 7th edition, the R.O.X. Bike Fair lived up to its reputation as one of the most anticipated biking event in the metro. As evidenced by the success of Bike For A Cause, R.O.X. continues to be an influential force in the outdoor community as it mounts another exciting, bond-forming, and meaningful outdoor event!

Go gaga over travel
Travelers often converge at travel fairs to take advantage of cheap bargains and deals offered. One such fair is Travel Madness Expo, the brainchild of Ark Travel president Maria Paz Alberto and Horizon Travel vice president and general manager Raymond Tee.
Launched in 2011, Travel Madness Expo encourages more people to travel and explore local and international destinations.
“Travel Madness Expo encourages people to go on trips to different destinations in the Philippines and abroad. Because of low airfares, passengers were encouraged to visit new places, both domestic and international,” said Alberto.
This endeavor also gained the support of the local government as the fair opened an opportunity to promote local destinations to tourists.
This year’s expo saw more than 44,000 visitors, which is more than the number of visitors in the previous years. They were able to purchase tickets and book rooms from 173 exhibitors that made up the Sky Zone (airlines), Ship Zone (cruise lines), Style Zone (hotels and resorts), and Star Zone (travel agencies).
The success of Travel Madness Expo reached an all-time high this year. As people clamor for cheaper rates, the expo will continue giving them what they want. It is a win-win situation for all.

Australia’s favorite drinks provide healthy, delicious choices

Juice-lovers will enjoy the natural taste of Spring Valley, Australia’s favorite premium juice. With a rich 50-plus year heritage, Spring Valley beverages are produced with uncompromised attention to flavor and texture.
“Many consumers struggle with poor beverage selections in the market, because some products contain added sugars and offer little or no nutrients. The healthier offerings, on the other hand, do not deliver the right taste or satisfy consumers’ cravings,” observes Atlas Global Advantage managing director Hans Nathan Ching.
Spring Valley is all-natural, with no preservatives, no added sugar and no artificial colors or flavors. Each bottle contains all the goodness that comes from the natural fruit. Its delicious repertoire of flavors include apple, orange, mango and banana, and banana and berry. It comes in 375ml on-thego glass bottles and 1.25-liter bottles.
For young juice lovers, Spring Valley offers Pop Tops, Australia’s favorite kiddie drink. The colorful 250ml bottle comes with a childfriendly grip designed for little hands, and a smaller drinking spout to avoid spills and mess. The pop-up cap is resealable, so your child can enjoy his drink even on long trips.
Pop Tops is made from real fruit juice, with 30 percent less sugar and less sodium, and has no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. It comes in apple and orange flavors.
“While living in Australia, we became familiar with Spring Valley and Pop Tops. These are iconic fruit juices among Australians, because of their refreshing, clean and full-bodied taste, which I believe will fit perfectly with modern Filipino sensibilities,” shares director Neil Vincent Ching.
Spring Valley and Pop Tops are now available at SM Snack Exchange, Rustan’s Supermarket, Robinsons Supermarket, and other retailers nationwide.
