How To Join Hakab Na 2017

While reading the FAQ of the most awaited mommy event of the year, HAKAB NA 2017, medyo natawa ako ng slight. How To Join Hakab Na 2017

The whole Araneta is your osyter. Buong Araneta Coliseum ang breastfeeding room! Strike anywhere, kahit saan, kahit anong oras but there is a minute where in sabay sabay na magpapadede ang lahat ng padede moms, not just the one in Araneta but sa buong mundo. Hakab Na 2017 is part of the Global Big Latch On.

(Si ate pa ito, year 2013 sa Baguio)

Strike anywhere din kameng mag-iina when it comes to breastfeeding. Minsan sa Baguio, minsan sa Tagaytay o kung saan abutin ng tag gutom si Baby Marius. Sometimes we use cover up, most of the times we don’t. Which reminds me mga curious questions ko for the HAKAB NA 2017:

Pwede ba magdala ng nursing cover sa Hakab Na 2017? yes but it is not encouraged bec the main goal of the event is to normalize breastfeeding. Walang hiya, hiya mga inay.

Is feeding bottle allowed? yep but NO TO FORMULA! Kung water lang naman laman at more than 6 months old na baby mo, pwede yan for sure. Pero kung balak mo mag formula feed sa breastfeeding event, teh mej kakapalan yan ng fez.

Strollers are not advisable but carriers are.

So ang tanong, any brand of carriers will do? Even my QB ring sling? Yep it is allowed. It’s all about breastfeeding, that’s the focus of the event and not about carriers.

How to Join the HAKAB NA 2017 if I am not a #padedemom? You can still join and register as a witness kahit hindi ka pa padede mommy. Ang mga buntis are encouraged to attend kase aside from the Big Latch On, marami pang activities ang nakahanda that is catered not just for breastfeeding moms but also to those na nag pa plan pa lang.

Our New Family Bonding Activity: Fox Movies

Took a while before I got used to the idea of having a TV inside the bedroom. Well, it actually took one movie from Fox Movies, The XMEN Apocalypse. I love anything XMEN and I was so sad I never got the chance to watched Apocalypse in the cinema. So imagine my surprise when it is showing on my TV. Like for real?!? IN HD?!?

So thank you FOX Movies, Star Movies and Fox Premium Movies rebranded. With the rebranding comes great movies, I’m a witness to that! So now, we’re always checking out what’s new at FOX MOVIES and there’s a lot to watch out for. For the month of July, our current favorite is Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is a dark fantasy film by Tim Burton. When it’s Tim Burton, you know it’s a must watch movie. It’s dark, yes, but there is goodness, hope and happiness in the film. So yeah, it’s safe for the kids.

It’s a very intriguing movie (of course not if you have read the book, which I am planning to do in the coming days) and you have to rewatch it to fully understand. Now, that’s a good thing about Fox Movies di ba? Movie replays!

Here’s FOX MOVIES Philippines movie schedule for the week of July 3-9. For the updated list every week, Fox Movies Philippines Facebook Page posts every week. Visit and like the FB page para updated ka.

Ever since we discovered Fox Movies, it’s been one of our favorite bonding moments. We all do love watching movies but because mahal ang sine, we seldom watch. With Fox Movies, we can enjoy the movies we all like.

This Saturday, another kaabang-abang is Now You See Me 2. We love the first movie and we’re looking forward to watch the part 2 (bec Daniel Radcliffe!).

And we never get tired of The Avengers! Fox Movies plus my husband’s super awesome speaker system, we’re not going to the movie house anytime soon!

Fox Movies Philippines is still on the same channel. For us, who’s a Cignal subscriber, it’s channel 211 for FOX HD (not sure for the SD channel).

For Sky Cable, Fox Movies is CH 55 for SD and 170 for HD forMetro Manila, Camanava/Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, Bulacan (San Jose Del Monte) subscribers. For Bacolod, Baguio, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Dumaguete, and Gensan Fox Movies is Ch 406 and Ch 714 for HD.

For the rebranding that started last June 10, Fox Movies is giving us “52 Nights of Incredible,” until end of July. It will premiere 24 hit movies including, X-Men: Apocalypse, Independence Day: Resurgence, Moana, Finding Dory, and Now You See Me 2. So better tune in to FOX Movies channel to find out even more about the show line up.

So tell me, what movies are you excited to watch from the Fox Movies “52 Nights of Incredible” movie line up?
