You’re all invited to attend #100DaysofAwesome Metrobank Car Fair.

This coming June 4, 2016, at the Le Pavillon Metropolitan Park, Pasay City, Metrobank, one of the country’s leading financial institutions, will be hosting #100DaysofAwesome Car Fair, a test drive event poised to aid consumers decide which vehicles will suit their needs.

Join the thrill at the #100DaysofAwesome Metrobank Car Fair

We we’re discussing about this a few days ago. Top speed on top of our discussion and how top speed is not that really useful here in the Philippines because of our speed limit. Not unless of course you’re a race car driver. But on ordinary days, you are just an ordinary person, looking for a car that can be used on ordinary days. Tama naman di ba?

So what are the considerations when buying a car?

Number 1 is fuel economy, with the traffic situation here in our country! You need a car that consumes less fuel specially in city driving.

Of course, there’s maintenance, availability and price of car parts and yes insurance.

In terms of appearance, size, color, leg space are some of the considerations too.

When we bought our Innova, we considered not just the size but ease of boarding, hence we got the V, which has captain seat at 2nd row. Of course we got the diesel one for fuel economy.

If you’re planning to buy a car, it also helps to really get to know each brand di ba? And with#100DaysofAwesome Metrobank Car Fair, you don’t have to visit each and every car company in the Philippines just to have a “feel” of your car to be. Representatives from the different dealers (check out the poster above for the list of car companies present during the show) will be present to answer any query regarding specifications and features of the cars.

Metrobank representatives will also be in the event to assist individuals to answer any questions with regard to the details of the loan promo, and provide guidance on the processing of applications.

The #100DaysofAwesome Car Fair will be held at the Le Pavillon Metropolitan Park, Pasay City on June 4, 2016 from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

Planning to buy a car soon?!? Have you tried joining a car fair? Tell me a story about it!

Cervical Cancer: 3 Things You Need To Know

What is Cervical Cancer?

Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among Filipinas. What’s worrisome is that two in three Filipinas diagnosed with cervical cancer may die within five years.

Cervical cancer occurs when abnormal cells develop and spread in the cervix, the entrance between the vagina and the uterus. This is caused by persistent infection with the cancer causing human papillomavirus (HPV).

HPV on Women

We can be infected with HPV. In fact, it was estimated that 80% of women will be infected with it in some of our lives. Most of this infections may come and go but if the immune system is weak,the HPV infections may persist and may eventually lead to the development of cervical cancer.

HPV Transmission

sexual intercourse
skin-to-skin genital contact

Cervical Cancer symptoms

Cervical cancer has no signs and symptoms in its early stages. It the event that symptoms will occur, the following may be expected:

irregular bleeding between periods or abnormal vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse
back, leg, or pelvic pain
fatigue
weight loss
loss of appetite
vaginal discomfort or odorous discharge
a single swollen leg.

Who is at risk of Cervical Cancer?

Women who:

are ages 15- 19 years old
had first sexual intercourse at a young age
have given birth for multiple times
have or have had sexually transmitted diseases
have HIV or whose immune system is weakened
a smoker
long-term use of oral contraceptives for 5 years or more
those who rarely or have not yet had any pap smear.

Protect Yourself from Cervical Cancer

The World Health Organization Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (WHO-SAGE) on Immunization reiterates the importance of getting young girls protected through HPV immunization before their first exposure to HPV (i.e. before sexual contact), as young as 9 years old.

It is recommended that starting age 21, women should undergo screening to detect cervical abnormalities that precede actual cervical cancer.

HPV vaccination, according to studies, is still beneficial for older women to prevent HPV infections. The risk risk of persistent infection with cancer-causing HPV (which is necessary for cervical cancer to develop) increases with age, and is highest when a woman is over 66 years old.

Power Over Cervical Cancer

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), in recognition of Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, furthers its advocacy to increase cervical cancer awareness efforts with the Power Over Cervical Cancer “You Can & You Will” campaign.

It aims to encourage Filipinas to realize that they have the power to protect themselves and their dreams—simply by consulting their doctors and asking about ways to prevent cervical cancer.

“An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. Getting cancer may be a distant concept for women who are well and at their prime, but they should be aware that even the healthiest can be at risk,” says, Dr. Leah Manio, GSK Medical Affairs Manager.
In the Philippines, it is estimated that the financial cost of preventing cervical cancer through screening and vaccination could be 20 times more affordable than the cost of treatment,” she adds.

“The power to protect yourself from cervical cancer is in your hands, and NOW is the best time to consult with your physician and have yourself screened,” Dr. Manio stated.

GSK remains true to its commitment of increasing access to preventive healthcare through its initiatives to improve access to information through its disease awareness efforts.
