PIOLO PASCUAL JOINS THE POTEN-CEE FAMILY

Multi-awarded actor, singer, and health enthusiast Piolo Pascual joins Poten-Cee Vitamin C’s family of A-list brand ambassadors as the latest endorser of Poten-Cee + ZN and Poten-Cee + Zn Advance, the brand’s newest variants.

It is an endorsement that has long been waiting to happen, what with Piolo sharing a surname with the company’s founders and owners. While there is no relation, Pascual and the PascualLab Family share one thing in common – a love for life and passion for health.

Pascual, one of the Philippine entertainment industry’s eminent actors who has become one of the most recognized names since he first entered the industry in 1990, has proven himself a formidable force, giving life into and doing his best in whatever he dabbles in.

A well-known health and badminton enthusiast, Pascual puts a premium on his health, all the more proving that he is the easy choice to endorse Poten-Cee + ZN and Poten-Cee + ZN Advance.

Poten-Cee + ZN and Poten-Cee + ZN Advance are the newest additions to Poten-Cee’s family of adult variants that include Sugar-Coated, Sugar-Free, Forte, Non-Acidic, and Chewable. Poten-Cee + ZN helps augment our body’s defenses through the addition of Zinc, while Poten-Cee + ZN Advance not only contains Zinc but is fortified with Vitamin D3 to further enhance our immune response.

Zinc helps the body take the defensive stance by preventing the entry and multiplication of viruses² while Vitamin D works on the offense, activating the body’s immune system to better attack viral invaders.

Pascual believes that for life to go on in this pandemic, it is critical to both be cautious and forward-thinking. He commented, “We are still in a pandemic and so when it comes to health, we should not let our guard down, but instead, step up. Poten-Cee's newest variants offer that added immunity to shield us further from the viruses while supporting our overall health so that we can carry out our responsibilities and be there for the important people in our lives.”

And just like Pascual, when people think he has already given his all, he seems a step ahead in his game and continues to level it up, especially with his health.

Pascual joins Poten-Cee’s powerhouse endorsers led by multi-awarded actress,

brand endorser, and philanthropist Bea Alonzo and just last year, by multi-faceted artist, fashion icon, and philanthropist Heart Evangelista.

Suggested Retail Price (SPR) for Poten-Cee + ZN is at Php 7.50 per capsule and for Poten-Cee + ZN Advance, at 13.50 each. Both variants are available at all Mercury Drug, Southstar, The Generic Pharmacy, and Watsons outlets nationwide.

SHOPEE OFFERS USERS A PACKAGE TO ENCOURAGE FILIPINOS TO GET VACCINATED

Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, launches the #FullyVaxxed Package under Shopee Bayanihan, to provide fully vaccinated Filipinos a special bundle they can use for personal needs and encourage others to complete both doses. Starting today until September 26, 2021, fully vaccinated Filipinos can qualify for the exclusive package that includes free shipping and discount vouchers from Shopee and discount vouchers from brands such as Hygienix, Maxi-Peel, SkinWhite, Splash Personal Care, and Johnson & Johnson.

Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “Shopee is here to support the country’s goal of inoculating as many Filipinos as possible through various initiatives such as our Vaccine Education Campaign, Vaccine Center Support, and now, our #FullyVaxxed Package. This is made possible through our partnerships with leading brands and with the participation of our marketplace sellers who have joined us in this cause to encourage citizens to get vaccinated. We are committed to doing what we can to help the nation stay safe and the Filipino people protected.”

The COVID-19 Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases Resolutions reports that there are more than 15 million doses administered, more than ten million getting their first dose, and 4.7 million Filipinos completing both doses as of mid-July 2021. Although many are open to getting both doses, a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey reveals that vaccine hesitancy is still an issue as most are uncertain of its efficacy and side effects. To encourage Filipinos to get vaccinated, Shopee also partnered with the Department of Health to promote education about COVID-19 vaccines through in-app and social media initiatives.

The #FullyVaxxed Package shows Shopee’s commitment in supporting the nation’s goal of fully vaccinating the Filipino population. Aside from vouchers from leading brands, verified users can also enjoy vouchers from Shopee’s marketplace sellers. Starting today, fully vaccinated Filipinos can avail of the package by signing up on the Shopee Bayanihan: #FullyVaxxed Package microsite in the Shopee App through this link: https://shopee.ph/m/fullyvaxxed-package.

Steps on how to register and get verified:

Wait for the verification from Shopee Shop, load, and pay bills with ShopeePay. Download the Shopee app for free via the App Store or Google Play.

PascualLab, Dr. Willie Ong for “MEDtalks with Doc Willie Ong”

After a memorable digital celebration #PascualLoveLiveat75, Pascual Laboratories, Inc., one of the trusted pharmaceutical companies in the Philippines¹, extends the celebrations to more Filipinos by joining hands with health guru Dr. Willie Ong.

True to its 75th anniversary campaign #PascualLove, the company found it fitting to partner with Dr. Willie Ong because of their shared passion for health and social responsibility. Dr. Ong or “Doc Willie” as he is more popularly known, is a cardiologist and a known philanthropist.

As part of the partnership, Dr. Ong will be mounting two “MEDtalks with

Doc Willie Ong” to provide more health information, the first one happening on July 30. Dr. Ong who is an advocate of more affordable medicine for a wider public, shares his knowledge through his newspaper column, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and youtube @Doc Willie Ong.

Through the tie-up, PascualLab will be donating vitamins and food supplements to Dr. Ong’s chosen donees. Dr. Ong is a philanthropist who has been donating medicines and beyond, to less fortunate members of society.

Leveraging on what PascualLab has to offer in terms of health innovations, Dr. Ong has been sharing Poten-Cee adult and pedia products to community members in Southville III, Muntinlupa City; frontliners at San Lazaro Hospital; and residents at Baseco Compound in Tondo starting last year.

This July, officers of PascualLab will welcome Drs. Willie and Liza Ong to Balagtas, home of PascualLab’s manufacturing plant, to personally turn over Poten-Cee N.A., Poten-Cee Plus, and C-Lium Fibre Special Edition to the residents, children, and medical frontliners in the municipality through the Regional Health Unit.

The partnership is part of PascualLab’s CSR program SEED which stands for

Sowing to Empower, Educate, and Develop. Driven by the company’s value of

social responsibility, PascualLab’s CSR program hopes to plant the seeds of charity, fellowship, and volunteerism through initiatives in health, education, and the environment — all in the hope of helping transform Filipino communities

for the better.

SHOPEE AMONG THE TOP 5 MOST RECOMMENDED BRANDS FOR 2021

Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, ranks 5th on market research firm YouGov’s Most Recommended Brands 2021 List in the Philippines. The rankings are based on YouGov BrandIndex’s positive recommendation score, which measures the percentage of a brand’s customers who recommend it to a friend or colleague. The latest rankings show the brands with the highest average recommended score from June 2020 to May 2021. Shopee also takes the top spot in the YouGov Recommend Top Improvers 2021 in the Philippines, going up from 71.9 in the previous year to 79.5.

Germaine Reyes, President, and CEO of Synergy Market Research + Strategic Consultancy, YouGov’s affiliate partner in the Philippines, said, “Retail and fast-moving brands are showing their domination in this year’s YouGov Recommend Rankings in the Philippines. Notably, three out of the top ten are e-commerce platforms, most likely due to the current pandemic. Online shopping habits continue to surge during the restrictions and lockdowns all over the world, and Filipinos are right on the trend.”

Shopee also secured the 7th spot in YouGov’s Best Brands 2020 List in the Philippines, and was named the top improver going up from 32.0 points in 2019 to 39.9 points the following year.

This year, Shopee launched different initiatives for customers, brands, and sellers on the platform to support their online growth and enhance their overall shopping experience. To equip and support its sellers, Shopee launched Tatak Pinoy and Shopee University Summit to support community-based businesses and taught aspiring digital entrepreneurs everything they need to know about e-commerce, respectively. In addition, Shopee also launched programs for its ever-growing customer base. One is the Shopee Loyalty Program, a brand new in-app program that delivers a more rewarding shopping experience for users last February, and the Shopee Mall Brand Memberships Program, an initiative that helps brands grow customer loyalty and retention.

Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “Shopee is proud to be included in YouGov’s list of the most recommended and improved brands this 2021. As times and circumstances change, we will continue to pursue excellence and improve our services to better cater to the needs and wants of our customers, brand partners, and sellers. This recognition is a product of our various initiatives and is a testament to the growing level of trust and confidence people have in Shopee. E-commerce has become an integral part of the lives of Filipinos, and we aim to continuously step up to provide our users with an easy, secure, and engaging shopping experience.”
