Procter and Gamble e.Studyante Program Launch

There’s Pantene, Safeguard and Olay in the bathroom. There’s Joy on our sink.. there’s Ariel and downy on our laundry area and a Gillette on my husband’s toiletries. Then there’s Vicks on my bedside (there are times that I can’t sleep without Vicks hehe). These are all Procter and Gamble products that we buy very often. And I know most of you are buying P&G products too.. now what if I tell you that you can help give a child a laptop by buying specially marked P&G promo packs available nationwide.

Procter and Gamble, now on its 76th year, started out a program called e.Studyante. A partnership with Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) and Synergeia Foundation that aims to provide kids from selected schools with an XO Laptop from the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) Association.A laptop that is rugged, low power and specially designed to make learning more engaging and more fun for students.

The goal is simple: Give out 1,000,000 laptops in time for P&G’s 100th year.

And you can help… especially us moms..

We can help P&G’s goal of giving 1,000,000 laptops buy buying the P&G promo packs. Participating brands are Safeguard, Tide, Pampers, Downy, Ariel, Pantene, Head & Shoulders, Joy, Rejoice, Whisper, Olay, Gillette, Vicks and Ambi-Pur.

Procter and Gamble e.Studyante program was launched last December 2, 2011 in Tondo, Manila. Together with Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) and Synergeia Foundation they give out laptops to the students of Manuel L. Quezon Elementary School.

Chad Sotelo, P&G Country Manager explains why P&G chose to give laptops to students and how we all can help on this advocacy.

The students of Manuel L. Quezon Elementary School sing and interprets a song. The laptop was given to the students and each one of them received an email from no less than the President of the Philippines himself, President Noynoy Aquino. And while the kids were busy writing their reply to PNoy’s email, we proceeded to another room to have lunch and at the same time, the prescon was held.

After the lunch, we were back with the students as they sent their emails to PNoy. The launching ends with students giving out their thank you speech. And because the Pinay Mommies Community supports the P&G e.Studyante Program, the PMC members present during the event wrote on the wall to pledge our support to this program.

Happy Monday Everyone!

I always believe on starting the week right and that Mondays should be happy.. less stress, more positive energy.. and should be really productive. I’m just happy that I got to accomplish a lot of tasks today.. and yes the day hasn’t started yet for the kids.. I’m just really happy that I am almost halfway done to all my online obligations.. and happier that I got his for “breakfast” today.. uhmm that’s around 1:00 AM:

That’s hot pandesal, kesong puti (!) and coffee.. oh the last time I had kesong puti was during the Meralco Maliwanag ang Pasko launch and it felt so bitin.. and I don’t do an “eat all you can kesong puti” stunt on events no.. so when I saw one at Farmers Cubao, I just have to buy 3!

Good morning everyone! I hope your breakfast is as good and comforting as mine 🙂

Happy Monday!

P.S. I will sleep now

Bumili ka nga ng Scotch-Brite

I cook, I do the laundry, I fold our clothes, I mop the floor, I clean the bathroom.. I scrub the walls.. I can do a,most every household chores, except for two.. Ironing, because it takes a lot of time and I cannot multitask while doing so and washing the dishes because it kills my hand. I don’t know.. there is something about the dish washing soap that makes my hand itch. So here, it is my sister, Nina’s task to wash the dishes. Lately though, she learned that she’s developing a housewife’s eczema.. not sure with the term but that’s how Mae of Adobong Pinoy describe it.. It’s an eczema brought about frequent hand washing, washing the dishes included. I have to help her with washing the dishes but as soon as I start doing so, my hands complain.. we have been planning to buy a gloves but even before we did, we got some from Scotch-Brite. They are one of our sponsors from the recently concluded PMC 2nd grand EB.

Let me tell you first how glad and overwhelmed I was, when we got Scotch-Brite as one of our sponsor. I mean, we all know about Scotch- Brite, in fact for a lot of people, it is a general term for cleaning tool such as sponge and stainless steel cleaner. I’m sure a lot of you can relate with this phrase “bumili ka ng scoth brite” (referring to the stainless steel cleaner). I know whatever item Scotch-Brite will give to the moms will be very helpful and useful. And indeed it was. Each moms who attended the event got a gift pack from Scotch-Brite that contains the following:

Scotch-Brite Kitchen Gloves, Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad, Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Bathroom Scrub Sponge, Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Antibacterial Scrub Sponge, Scotch-Brite Light Duty Scrub Sponge with fun designs.

I haven’t tried all the products yet.. but I already tried Scotch-Brite Kitchen Gloves, Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Bathroom Scrub Sponge and Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Antibacterial Scrub Sponge.

We’re using the Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Antibacterial Scrub Sponge in washing the dishes as well as the Kitchen Gloves. I tried Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Bathroom Scrub Sponge for the rubber mat that we used in their play area..and I’ll just let the photo do the talking:

that’s how I look on my cleaning gear 🙂

See the difference? and I’m not even putting much effort while scrubbing.. I still have to try this on our bathroom walls. I am also excited to try the Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad on our wall.. oh well, let’s wait until the cleaning fairy waves her wand on me 🙂
