Conti’s is Set to be Your Next Breakfast Spot

Breakfast is often regarded as the most important meal of the day. There’s at least one very good reason for that. It’s the first after several hours of no food intake through the night. Therefore, it provides the nourishment needed to recharge the body and prepare it for the demands of the new day. Aside from that, breakfast likewise gives other essential nutrients that help maintain good health.

But not everyone is getting the right breakfast. Some don’t even get any breakfast at all. The reasons may include lack of time to prepare, a limited menu at home, and a pantry that isn’t well stocked for a variety of dishes.

Fortunately, there are excellent options to get the right breakfast and start the day optimally. At popular homegrown food chain Conti’s Bakeshop and Restaurant, there are several choices for dine-in, takeout, or delivery that are sure to delight different tastes.

Lovers of classic Pinoy dishes will get their rich and tasteful day starter with any of three favorites. The Homemade Beef Tapa Strips crackles with its perfectly crispy strips. Mom’s Garlic Longganisa is an excellent pick-me-upper with its potent mix of sweet and spice. Both are served with fried rice, eggs, and atchara or pickled ubod.

Conti’s breakfast options available for dine-in, take out, delivery

A new addition to the breakfast menu is Adobo Omelette Fried Rice. Conti’s’ own version of Omurice, it’s a delicious twist on a classic featuring fried rice mixed with adobo chunks enveloped in a silky scrambled egg mixture and topped with garlic aioli. To complete the meal, it’s served with fresh salad on the side. An alternative is the Chorizo Omelette Fried Rice filled with chorizo sausage bits.

For more health-conscious diners who still want a lot of flavors, there’s Salmon Belly in Olive Oil. This Norwegian-style dish boasts mouth-watering salmon belly strips in seasoned olive oil and is served with lemon rice, eggs, and pickled ubod.

Another international-style breakfast option is Conti’s Berry Brioche French Toast. It features a hearty mix of brioche French toast slices, mixed berries compote, crispy bacon and egg, and is topped with a light drizzle of honey and a dollop of whipped cream. A filling offering that’s perfect for those who want a lot of textures and flavors without feeling super heavy in the tummy.

If you love a good breakfast or brunch, then you’ll love this line of delectable and delightful treats from Conti’s. Truly delicious and satisfying. You’ll find that special something that not only starts your day right but takes your mornings to the next level.

Burger King: Call us the Home of the Chicken King!

Burger King, known as the “Home of the Whopper”, has a new ruler. Move over because there’s a new king in town. The rise of the Chicken King, equally deserving of the crown, has made its way to Manila, Philippines, and it’s taking over BK stores.

In photos launched on Burger King Philippines’ Facebook page, it can be seen from the restaurant’s store’s facade, menu board, and dining area, is now all about the Chicken King.

The takeover comes on the heels of the arrival of the newest chicken sandwich player – Chicken King. It is a chicken sandwich royally made with a generous portion of chicken thigh muscle patty, slowly marinated in flavorful herbs and spices, and carefully cooked to golden brown perfection for that juicier and meatier taste in a big crunchy bite. Tucked between soft buttery potato buns with fresh tomatoes and crunchy lettuce, and topped with creamy mayonnaise, the Chicken King is the new must-try chicken sandwich today.

“We are excited for Filipinos to try the newest Chicken King worthy of the title ‘king’ for its hefty portions and bold flavors.” said John Velasco, Country General Manager of Burger King Philippines. 

The addition of Chicken King to BK’s menu is the restaurant’s latest move to expand its kingdom in the chicken sandwich territory and give guests, who are the real kings, the very best experience. “We’ve given the Chicken King the royal treatment to make it perfect for chicken sandwich lovers who deserve the royal treatment themselves. And for those who already love our flame-grilled Whopper and other offerings, this will be another king to their hearts and stomachs too,” added Velasco.

Hungry fans can now get their hands on the Chicken King from select stores in Mega Manila, Pampanga, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, and Bulacan, or order via the BK APP, BKdelivery.com.ph, and partner delivery services like Grabfood and Foodpanda, to bestow their judgment and crown it for themselves. 

Burger King is set to hold a special activity soon for all Filipino fans to mark the arrival of the Chicken King in the Philippines. Follow Burger King on Facebook and Instagram for more royal announcements!

Mondelēz International Makes Friends with Miming

Continued Partnership with Save Philippine Seas for Environmental Learning
Learning about Waste Collection for Kids through Videos and Songs
Episode 1 launched on World Oceans Day

Snacks Company Mondelēz International is committed to growing its business by making their products in the right way, with positive impact for people and the planet. The Company calls it “Sustainable Snacking,” with a vision to help create a future where people and planet thrive. While sustainable snacking covers many areas of its supply chain, one area that the Company is focusing on is packaging. Mondelēz International commits that by 2025, 100% of its packaging will be designed to be recycled.

Apart from the Company’s actions to create better and less packaging, it also aims to support net zero waste through improved systems, aiming for a circular pack economy. They believe in education, of shaping recycling habits early on in childhood so that everyone can contribute to reducing waste today and in the future.

With this goal, Mondelēz International has renewed its partnership with advocacy group Save Philippine Seas (SPS) for educational materials on waste management. This year, the two have collaborated with Miming and Friends, an all-Filipino and homegrown YouTube channel focused on providing valuable lessons to kids through animation and songs.

Continued Partnership with Save Philippine Seas

The first episode of Miming and Friends supported by Mondelēz International was released on World Oceans Day on June 8, 2022 and is the first in a series of five. It talks about the importance of segregating waste at home, to ensure they don’t end up in the ocean. SPS serves as consultant and advisor to the Miming episodes on waste collection. Led by Anna Oposa, Executive Director and “Chief Mermaid,” SPS is an organization that aims to empower citizens towards environmental consciousness, leading to collective action and behavior change. In 2021, Mondelēz International and SPS released a series of infographics sharing the real reasons behind marine litter, entitled “There’s Plenty of Plastics in the Sea; How did this Happen?”

Partnering with Miming and Friends

Miming and Friends, led by Cat-Fish Miming, flying lizard Buboy, and Unicorn Anacorn, join the many friends they meet along the way in learning about the world. Other video topics include values, how to count and sing, and the importance of caring for each other and the environment – all from the multilingual and multicultural perspective of the Filipino experience. The channel is the creation of Miming and Fwends Animation Studios, formed by partners Ramon and Meryll del Prado from Dumaguete, Negros Oriental, “The values we espouse through Miming and Friends very much align with the values of Mondelēz International and Save Philippine Seas. We are thrilled about this partnership as it fully synergizes with the greater goal of having responsible children as they grow up to become mindful adults.”

“We are delighted to work with Mondelēz International and Miming and Friends for educational videos and songs about caring for our environment, particularly in helping shape waste collection habits early on among children,” adds Oposa. “We support waste collection projects in communities, and we also know that early education plays an important role in empowering everyone to prevent marine litter.”

Oposa ends, “On behalf of Mondelēz International, we would like to invite everyone to watch the first episode of our joint effort, and hope kids and adults alike learn from it.”

Request for your PSA Documents Online via PSAHelpline.ph

This is it! We’ve decided to tie the knot this year!

Planning a DIY wedding is nerve wracking. There’s a lot to tick on our checklist! One of the things on our list is the documents ~ birth certificate, CENOMAR (certificate of no marriage), marriage license, etc.

Now, where to go to request for our CENOMAR? I know that I can request those at PSA (Philippine Statistics Authority). However, since we already moved here in Rizal, I’m not familiar where the nearest PSA is in our area. Another problem is that I won’t be able to leave home during weekdays because of the kids’ online classes.

I came across PSA Helpline thru Mommy Bloggers Philippines and learned that they can help me request my much needed PSA documents delivered at my doorstep.

Here’s a list of the PSA documents you can request thru PSA birth certificate online application:
• Birth Certificate
• Marriage Certificate
• Death Certificate
• CENOMAR

Getting your documents thru PSA Helpline is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

Step 1 Go to their website at psahelpline.ph then click on order now. Choose the document you want to request.

On your browser, type psahelpline.ph
Click on the PSA document you need.

Step 2 Provide all the required details.

Once you press continue, you will be routed to the form.

Step 3 Post your payment online or over-the-counter. For pricing and payment options details click here. An email notification will be sent to your provided email.

Here’s a list of where you can post your payment. Click on your payment method of choice to see how you can pay.
Email notification from PSAHelpline.ph

Step 4 Wait for the delivery.
For MM> 3-4 working days; Outside MM> 3-8 working days

Take note that you can only request documents for you, your child, parents, and spouse (death certificate). For other relatives you may proceed to the nearest PSA Serbilis Center. You also need to be present on the delivery date to personally receive your requested PSA document/s.

I received the documents in 7 days thru 2Go.

I requested for our documents last May 4, 2022 and 2Go delivered it May 11, 2022. Glad I was able to avail of their services! It was very convenient and hassle-free for me. I didn’t have to leave the house anymore.

Have you tried requesting documents thru PSA online application? Share with me your experience!

The service comes with the convenience of online and over-the-counter payment options that are accessible to clients and a customer care hotline and email support for information on ordering, payments, and delivery.

It started in 2000 as a call-in facility for clients who need copies of their PSA civil registry documents but are unable to visit a PSA outlet. The full-service website was launched in 2013, providing online and mobile access to more people who prefer to order their PSA certificates online and have these delivered to their homes.

When the National Statistics Office (NSO) was renamed Philippine Statistics Office (PSA), the service was rebranded from NSOHelpline.ph to PSAHelpline.ph in 2016. Clients are now able to place their orders while on-the-go and even after office hours with more accessible payment channels for their convenience and security.

Cleene CLIO makes Clean Teeth possible for Families this World Oral Health Day 2022

Manila, Philippines – On World Oral Health Day, Cleene CLIO invites everyone to celebrate by practicing proper oral healthcare with their families.

A product of proudly Filipino company PHILUSA Corporation, Cleene CLIO has been an ardent supporter of this global oral health initiative, especially with oral care given less priority during the pandemic when accessibility to dentists and visits to oral health facilities were challenging at the height of the lockdowns.

To emphasize the importance of good oral health practices at home, Cleene CLIO has partnered with Manila Water Foundation and Philippine Dental Association to provide oral health kits to various barangays and schools as part of this year’s World Oral Health Day activities. Over 2,000 health kits containing Cleene CLIO toothbrushes and Dental Floss Premium from Cleene CLIO and PHILUSA were distributed to 12 barangays and to the chosen hygiene facility in Dinalaonan Elementary School in Pangasinan.

And as a special treat for World Oral Health Day, selected Cleene CLIO products will be sold at 20% off exclusively in Mercury Drug stores nationwide until April 15, 2022.

Cleene CLIO continues to be the partner of every Filipino family in promoting good oral hygiene by offering a wide range of affordable and quality toothbrushes.

Cleene CLIO toothbrushes are made with MicroFine Soft Bristles that help penetrate and clean hard to reach areas for better interdental cleaning and a gentle brushing experience. The tapered bristles penetrate between teeth and gums for thorough cleaning, while the rounded shape of the bristles remove plaque and prevent teeth and gum damage.

There is a Cleene CLIO toothbrush for every member of the family that is affordable and has world-class quality. For those wanting extra care and protection for your teeth, Cleene CLIO offers its Refreshing Green Tea and Ultimax Charcoal under their Special care line. While for those needing specialized care, Cleene CLIO has its Kiddie and Junior as well as 40+ for sensitive gum and teeth. It also has its economy toothbrushes for general oral health care for any age.

Cleene CLIO is available at Mercury Drug, leading supermarkets, drugstores and other retail stores nationwide as well as on all leading ecommerce websites: Shopee, Lazada, and the PHILUSA Online Store.

Millions of bacteria – that’s what can be found inside our mouth! Some can be harmless but others can lead to tooth decay and diseases.

That’s why at a very young age, I have taught my kids how important oral hygiene is and what will happen if they don’t take care of their teeth. Brushing their teeth after meals and flossing is a must at home. I also make sure they visit their dentist twice a year so we know that their teeth is in tip-top shape.

Celebrate World Oral Health Day with your family!

J&J Philippines marks 65th year in PH with nationwide care initiatives

Raghu Krishnan, managing director of Johnson & Johnson (Philippines), Inc. leads the company’s nationwide care initiatives in celebration of its 65th anniversary with the donation of essential healthcare products to Save The Children Philippines, represented by its Sr. Manager for Corporate Partnerships, Riel Andaluz in this photo. Save The Children is one of the many organizations the company will be partnering with to distribute health kits to 65 communities across the country.

Sixty-five years, 65 communities, and one goal—to make healthcare available to all.  

To celebrate its milestone anniversary, Johnson & Johnson (Philippines), Inc. (JJPI) is extending its signature brand of care to 65 communities nationwide through the donation of health kits in keeping with the strong “Culture of Care” that runs throughout the organization.   Distribution of the healthcare products is currently ongoing to communities in Caloocan, Rizal, Batangas, Zambales, Iloilo, and Leyte through partners ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation, Inc., World Vision Foundation Philippines, Americares Philippines, and Save the Children Philippines. In addition, hygiene kits for COVID-19 patients in Metro Manila were distributed earlier this year in partnership with Operation Compassion Philippines. 

Johnson & Johnson upholds that good health is the foundation of vibrant lives, thriving communities and forward progress, and is committed to use its reach and size for good: to improve access and affordability, create healthier communities, and put a healthy mind, body, and environment within reach of everyone, everywhere. Wherever they are in the world, the Company’s 130,000 global employees work to keep people well at every age and every stage of life. This concern for the health of its stakeholders is articulated in the Johnson & Johnson Credo and is brought to life by the organization for its employees, its network of partners, beneficiaries, and, most especially, its consumers.

“Every innovation, product, and breakthrough for the benefit of public health and well-being is possible because of our two most important assets, our values and our people,” said the managing director of Johnson & Johnson (Philippines), Inc., Raghu Krishnan. “Because of our people, we are able to grow the positive impact that we have on the health and wellness of our communities each year.”  

“By reaching out to these communities, we also continue to strengthen employee engagement, which is an important focus for us as they are the driving force behind Johnson & Johnson’s sustained growth,” adds Sean Zantua, Human Resources Director of Johnson & Johnson (Philippines), Inc.

As a total healthcare company, Johnson & Johnson has continuously introduced new products and innovations for every need state. From iconic consumer brands to scientific breakthroughs in the field of medicine, Johnson & Johnson has helped people from all around the world to live healthier lives every day from their very first day.

This focus on making healthcare available to all is brought to life through Johnson & Johnson’s portfolio of consumer health products, medical equipment, pharmaceutical products, along with its numerous partnerships and advocacies. Amid this pandemic, arguably Johnson & Johnson’s most important initiative is the mobilization of its resources—a $1-billion investment—to quickly develop a COVID-19 vaccine which is now being used all over the world.

“We believe it is our responsibility to improve the communities where we live and work, as we ‘blend heart, science and ingenuity to help change the trajectory of health for humanity’. As we renew this responsibility on our 65th year in the Philippines, we will push for more initiatives for our consumers, partners, employees, and communities that provide them with the care they deserve,” ended Krishnan.


About Johnson & Johnson (Philippines), Inc.
