Tagaytay Moms Hakab Na! 2018

It was a bit late that I learned about Hakab Na in different parts of the Philippines. First, I learned that there will be a Hakab Na event in SM East (woohoo) and then there were more. There’s one in Olongapo, Laguna, Tagaytay and in Visayas and Mindanao areas too.

First and foremost, what is Hakab Na? It’s a big event to in celebration of the Breastfeeding Month which is August. During the event, moms breastfeed their babies simultaneously, that moment is called BIG LATCH ON or BLO.

This is my first time to attend a breastfeeding event and I am as excited as everyone else. Sa sobrang excited ko, I sponsored a few moms para makasama sa Rizal Mammas Hakab Na!

I also made an album on my FB page of Hakab Na events happening in the country. It’s not a complete list and I am hopeful that next year I would be able to put a complete one. And I’m also one of the media sponsors of Hakab Na! Tagaytay as organized by Tagaytay Moms.

Who are the Tagaytay Moms?

Philips EasyTouch Plus Garment Steamer Launch

You know how much I love my Philips Perfect Plantsa. Best plantsa ever! That’s coming from someone who never really likes doing this particular household chore. So if ever you find yourself needing another plantsa, go for Philips Perfect Care Azur, a bit pricey but is worth it! If in case you are looking for a clothes steamer, of course meron din ang Philips nyan.

I had the chance to attend the launch of the newest member of Philips garment steamer family, the Philips EasyTouch Plus Garment Steamer.

Sobrang nakakatuwa because we were challenged to post a photo on IG for Philips, eh di ba my IG has a theme. Dapat ang background eh white lang palagi.. akalain mong nanalo pa yung entry ko.

#BreatheEasy with Omron Event

For a household without asthma, you would wonder why we have a nebulizer at hand. We use it when the kids have cough or colds. As per advised their pedia, at the sign of colds or cough, use nebulizer to help get rid of phlegm. So when I got an invite for an event about nebulizer, I can’t say no.

#BreatheEasy with Omron Event talks about Asthma and how to manage it. It also talked about nebulizer, proper use of it as well as the newest nebulizer from Omron. The event was led by Dr. Anjanette O. Reyes – De Leon, M.D., Pediatrician and Asthma and Lung specialist.

CompAir Nebulizer System NE – C801 was introduced to us during the event. It’s one of the smallest nebulizer Omron has to offer. The NE-C801 Compressor Nebulizer system was developed for the efficient management of asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergies and other respiratory disorders. Patients can carry this nebulizer anywhere as it is compact and lightweight.
