Last Dec. 15, 2018, a history-making event  had four countries in Asia simultaneously holding the  SHOWER FOR GOOD benefit sale- racing against the clock to sell 1000 American Standard GENIE hand showers in Manila, Philippines, Mumbai, India, Jakarta, Indonesia and Bangkok, Thailand. But who really won when the regional event reached its satisfying conclusion are the disadvantaged children of the world who no longer have to live without clean water and basic sanitation. 

 100% of all sales proceeds of Shower for Good will fund the projects of partners LIXIL and UNICEF through its foundation, MAKE A SPLASH, that will change the lives of these children for good.


In Manila, the benefit sale was spurred by the spirit of sharing that pervades the country during the Christmas holidays. As the 1000th Genie hand shower was sold,  fireworks greeted a delighted Eastwood Mall Open Park crowd of mall-goers and the invited press who have enjoyed  a stirring chorale fest that had 9 top choirs from the country serenading them that afternoon and into the early evening.  With the help of student volunteers from various universities, Manila delivered 1000 American Standard GENIE hand showers sold. Joining Manila were Bangkok and Jakarta who also sold 1000 Genies each,  while Mumbai brought in 448 units sold. 100% of all sales proceeds were turned over to the attending UNICEF representative in each country. In Manila, the ceremonial turnover was led by Alpha Ang, LIXIL Asia Pacific General Manager, Alen Alban, LIXIL Phils. Country Manager, Joralyn Ong, LIXIL Associate Director- Retail Sales and Trade Marketing, Emily Rose Besavilla, Marketing Manager of LIXIL, Liza Rachel Cancino, Marketing Director, Branding and Communications for Asia for Inax and American Standard, to Marga Uy Baula, Corporate Fundraising Officer of Unicef Philippines. 




As Alpha Ang reiterated during the turnover of donation, " by 2021, LIXIL-UNICEF "Make a Splash" would have helped 250 million people live healthier, better lives with clean water and basic sanitation."  With so much good done that Saturday of December 15, 2018, he announced to all that he is confident that that goal is entirely reachable.


 American Standard GENIE hand shower is a Red Dot Design Awardee that utilizes 120 micro sprays that shower its users gently with Petal pressure. For the one-day only sale, it was sold at 30% discount. In the Philippines, it will retail at P850.00 pesos, after the one-day only sale.

The Neuromotion moves was launched recently, in a venue that resembled a modern office space through a surprise performance.

Perhaps you are thinking, What is Neuropathy?

 Neuropathy, is a disorder affecting nerves. It is experienced by many people in the Philippines. Despite this high frequency, many men and women who have it are not even aware of their condition. In fact, nerve health is not a topic that many people actually think about.

There are symptoms of nerve damage, or Neuropathy and these are the following:    

  • Numbness
  • Muscle weakness, and
  • Pins and needles


Though it can be caused by other conditions as well. They are often attributed to more mundane causes, such as fatigue or wrong sleeping position. While these symptoms can indeed be linked to such causes, it is undeniable that Neuropathy is a possible cause.

Such symptoms are often underestimated therefore sufferers tend to forego seeking medical advice. Frequently, sufferers report minor discomfort or irritation at their symptoms and tend to ignore their persistence.
Other possible symptoms of Neuropathy includes:
  •      Increased sensitivity to touch
  •      Sharp pains
  •      Extreme sensitivity to pain
  •      A burning feeling
  •      Reduced sensitivity to pain
  •      Loss of sensation, and
  •      Reduced sense of touch.
There are also a number of conditions in which nerve damage appears or can be a secondary complication. Causes and risk factors are multiple and include causes and conditions such as genetics (carpal tunnel syndrome for example), chronic diseases (like diabetes), environmental toxins (such as smoking), alcoholism, nutritional deficiencies (including B Vitamin deficiency), and even side effects of certain medications. This condition can be idiopathic (have no known cause).

Before symptoms get worse and lead to permanent nerve damage, it is of vital importance to consult a doctor immediately. Taking daily maintenance for nerve nourishment may also prevent nerve damage or Neuropathy.

The World’s #1 B Vitamin, Neurobion, recognizes the importance for nerve care and it’s trusted by doctors for over 40 years. Neurobion has a balanced formulation of Vitamins B1, B6 and B12 and is clinically proven to nourish the nerves and acts at the root of the problem.

Sometimes, you will meet someone and it works. Sometimes, you will meet someone and it will feel like God intervened and made you meet. Most of the time though, you meet someone and they break your heart into a million pieces and you start to wonder, “why me?” With hugot still being one of the trending topics of all time, we decided to ask Dr. Paolo Bellosillo who is known for advocating living a quality life to share his thoughts on how you can protect your heart from the greatest stressor in life, a heartbreak.

 What are the qualities that a woman should look for in a guy?

 A woman needs to look for someone who is God fearing because if a man fears God, he will be loyal, faithful, committed, responsible, and honest. These are traits that any woman should want for in a man. A man like this will never make you worry or fear that he will go astray.

 What are the qualities that a man should look for in their future partners?

 A man needs to look for a woman who is capable of being their partner in life, not just in the bedroom. They need to find someone with a humble heart and someone who prioritizes their relationship over their pride.

 How can you have a relationship that is good for both parties?

 A relationship that preserves the dignity of the other person is always a good indication. When there is mutual trust and mutual respect, when a relationship is rooted in prayer and kindness then reinforced by communication, you know that it is beneficial to both parties.

What are your 5 tips for a healthy, smooth sailing relationship? 

 1. Pray together. When God is at the center of everything, everything will fall into place.

 2. Communicate. As they said, almost everything can be sorted through an open and honest communication.

 3. Be kind. If you can’t be anything, if there is no more love, then at least be kind.

 4. Be open. The two of you are not the same person which means that you will not have the same beliefs, the same principles, and the same ideologies. In fact, chances are big that you will have different ones so be open to understanding how the other person works. 

 5. Let go of fear. Most of the time, we react negatively because of fear.
Any tips to our readers so that they too can have a lasting relationship?
Being in love is primarily focused on the heart, on love but everyday should always take that into account as love is a journey and a decision which both souls builds on.  While the whole world celebrates it, do so in a manner where it focuses not on consumerism or material things because they fade. Be original: play a song, sing a song, cook with love for your shared favorite dish, go to the first place where it all began with your special someone, or go to church and why delay it, say I DO, tie the knot. Just make sure the other is ready and fits in the qualities and attributes of those listed above After All when you Look Through The Eyes Of Love You Should Be Bringing Out The Best Of Me/You, Here There and Everywhere.
