Two Simple Ways To Join Domex’s One Million Clean Toilets Movement

If you’re from the province like me, you can definitely relate to the mood of this video:

Now it made me miss our fiesta!

If you haven’t seen the video, you have to see it, the festive mood, the excitement of the people.. and the reason behind that excitement,

You didn’t see it coming noh?

Who would have? That kind of welcome just for the arrival of clean toilet in their facilities?

According to our friends from Unilever, the video, aptly titled as Fiesta shows how underprivileged Filipinos welcome the “arrival” of clean toilet facilities in their communities. “The video aims to make people realize the value of a toilet which most of us, unfortunately, take for granted,” said Dennis Chua, Domex Brand Manager.

The “Fiesta” video contributes to the efforts of Domex’s One Million Clean Toilets Movement. Each unique view translates into a pledge for the advocacy campaign which collects pledges from households to conscientiously maintain their own hygienic bathrooms.

How can we be a part of Domex’s One Million Clean Toilets Movement?

1. Watch the video above. Every watch= pledge and for every pledge received, Domex will donate P5 to UNICEF’s sanitation program, towards improving access to basic sanitation in deprived areas around the world, including the Philippines.

2. Share the video and ask your friends to watch it too!

You can also watch the video on Domex Facebook Page

Clean toilets, germ-free communities
All over the country, people are welcoming the construction of new toilet facilities and the repair of dilapidated ones, since becoming aware of its role in disease prevention, especially among children.

According to the Department of Health, of the estimated 3,420 diarrhea-related deaths among Filipino children under 5 every year, around 2,000 could have been prevented by access to safe water, improved toilet sanitation and personal hygiene.

“This video should serve as a wake-up call for most of us. The little things we take for granted, like having a clean toilet, could mean the world to others and could definitely help save lives,” Chua said.

Who’s watching and pledging with me?!?

How To Know Your Child’s Intelligence + Twitter Promo (Flash Giveaway)

How far will you go to give your child the best? How do you boost his ‘intelligence’ to make sure he achieves excellence in more fields than one?

But when we say intelligence, what does it mean? Is it as simple as when your child got a high IQ test score, it means she/he is intelligent? So what about those (eherm eherm) that only got an average score on IQ tests? What are we? Not intelligent?

BIG TIME OUCHY no?

Good thing, (specially on our ego and to our kids!) Howard Gradner , Hobbs professor of education and cognition at the Harvard Graduate School of Education believes that intelligence is more complex than we think.

THANK YOU HOWARD GARDNER!

Howard Gardner, Hobbs professor of education and cognition at the Harvard Graduate School of Education believes that intelligence is more complex than we think. “It was generally believed that intelligence was a single entity that was inherited, and that human beings – initially a blank state – could be trained to learn anything, provided that it was presented in an appropriate way,” said Gardner in his landmark work Frames of Mind, The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. “Nowadays, an increasing number of researchers believe precisely the opposite; that there exists a multitude of intelligences, quite independent of each other, that each intelligence has its own strengths and constraints…”
Gardner’s theory eventually gave rise to what is known as multiple intelligence – simply put it is brain smart, body smart and people smart. The theory questions the idea that intelligence is a single entity, that it results from a single factor and that it can be measured simply via IQ tests.

So how do you know which intelligence your child exhibits? And what can you do to help them enhance it? Here’s a few guide:
