“Love To See Change” Essilor’s World Sight Day Campaign

Here’s a campaign na hindi ko papalagpasin ikampanya, mainly because I have an eye problem (and so are my kids). And I know that it comes with an expensive price tag. So happy that Essilor is observing World Sight Day by launching a campaign called, “Love to See Change.” It’s an online program that encourages everyone to commit to having their eyes checked within the year.

“Love To See Change” Essilor’s World Sight Day Campaign

Essilor’s “Love to See Change” invites Essilor employees and the general public to pledge their commitment to have their eyes checked through the website, www.lovetoseechange.com/en/ starting October 13 through the end of 2016. For the first 100,000 users who will make a pledge, the Essilor Group will donate $1 on their behalf in favour of a local initiative that supports healthy vision for those in need.

Every year, Essilor actively participates in WSD initiatives for the promotion of good eyesight through various programs and events held across different countries around the world. In 2015 alone, the company has initiated an astounding 23,284 vision tests in more than 49 countries worldwide. This is in line with Essilor’s mission of improving lives by improving eyesight.

World Sight Day is organized by the World Health Organization and is observed annually every second Thursday of October. It is a part of a global action plan aimed at decreasing needless visual impairment, generating data about the magnitude and causes of visual impairment and encouraging nations to adopt eye health policies.

Be a part of this campaign and it starts with you taking a pledge. I already did!

GrabCar’s #GrabItBeatIt Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign

First Time To Use GrabCar

I always use GrabTaxi when I’m out, sanay na ako sa GrabTaxi eh and so far, wala naman akong nagiging problema. Last Wednesday as I run from meeting to blog events to meeting again, grab taxi’s my partner. Pero noong pauwi na ako, I tried booking grab taxi pero waley… from BGC to Pasig is no joke at quarter to 5 PM. Biglang may “Why don’t you try GrabCar?” or something to that effect.. nabigla ako.. napa yes ako at napabook ng GrabCar. Ayaw ko sana kase feeling ko pang maharlika lang ang GrabCar but I have no choice. Ayaw ko naman i cancel…

soooo how was my first ride?

After a meeting in makati, 2 events and another meeting in bgc.. a very relaxing #grabcar ride courtesy of #Dunlopillo #bolster #mommypehpot #mommyblogger #blogginglife #bloggerextraordinaire

GrabCar’s #GrabItBeatIt Awareness Campaign

Aside from giving us nice rides, GrabCar is doing an exceptional campaign against Breast Cancer. #GrabItBeatIt is GrabCar’s awareness campaign for early breast cancer detection.

In support of the breast cancer awareness month, GrabCar launched the #GrabItBeatIt campaign across Southeast Asia. This campaign encourage women to be aware of early breast cancer detection. It motivates women to conduct self- examination.

“We believe that early detection is the best protection against breast cancer as studies show that those detected early have high cure rates. Through this campaign, we want to extend the conversation to how women can stay healthy and fit, and encourage Filipino women to self-check before it’s too late,” said GrabCar Head, Natasha Bautista.

Do you know that the Philippines has the second highest incidence of breast cancer in Southeast Asia? That’s accordin to a 2012 study. Department of Health (DOH) recommends women as young as 20 years old to know about their breast and how to examine and conduct a self examination monthly.

Breast Cancer Awareness Kits

To spread awareness about breast cancer, GrabCar is offering a Breast Cancer Awareness kits which includes a statement shirt by Malaysian clothing company Pestle and Mortar, a tote bag and pamphlet on how to conduct self-examination. All proceeds will to ICanServe Foundation.

ICanServe Foundation helps women with breast cancer and they also promote early breast cancer detection through information campaigns and community-based screening programs.

“In our own way, we want to let more people know that early detection of breast cancer saves thousands of lives,” said Natasha Bautista.

The #GrabItBeatIt campaign runs in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam as part of the GrabCar’s advocacy on women’s health and safety.
