LG Philippines brought together art, technology, and heritage at the National Museum of Natural History through a special partnership that exemplifies the beauty and diversity of Philippine geography and identity. The centerpiece of the event was “Fragments”, a solo art exhibition created in collaboration with Isaiah Cacnio, the first digital and motion graphics artist to be featured at the National Museum.

This immersive exhibit harnesses cutting-edge LG OLED display technology to reinterpret the Earth’s story, shining a spotlight on the extraordinary geological and ecological richness of the Philippines. From volcanic beginnings to weathered stone and flowing water, the exhibit captures the powerful natural forces that have shaped both the physical landscape and the spirit of the Filipino people.

Running for an entire month, the exhibit invites visitors to the Ayala Reception Hall on the second floor of the National Museum of Natural History to explore the nation’s rich biological history through three captivating digital pieces: “Where Fire Begins,” “Stories in Stone,” and “What Breaks, Flows”, all brought to life by LG OLED AI TVs. These works were created using mathematical formulas to generate organic, dynamic visuals—blending algorithmic precision with emotional depth. By integrating computational methods with artistic expression, the exhibit seamlessly combines art, science, and emotion to reflect the Philippines’ geological and cultural evolution. As Cacnio explains, “Even in fracture, there is flow. Even in separation, there is connection.” His work reminds us that, just as nature molds the Earth, shared history and resilience continue to shape our identity as a people.

Cacnio also reflects on his milestone, saying, “It’s a great honor to be one of the few artists to use LG OLED for art, joining global artists like Refik Anadol, Steve Harrington, and many others.” Through LGOLEDArt.com, LG continues to support digital creators worldwide by offering OLED as a canvas for artistic expression, ushering in a new era of immersive media art. “New media and digital art are growing internationally, and I’m proud to be the first artist from the Philippines to take part in this movement,” he adds.

Following the unveiling of these innovative digital art pieces, LG reaffirmed its steady commitment to the preservation and celebration of Filipino culture through a donation of over ₱500,000 worth of display technology, ranging from TVs, including LG StanbyME units, and monitors, to the National Museum of Natural History. With the installation of LG’s latest displays, the museum now offers a more immersive and dynamic way for visitors to engage with its galleries, blending cutting-edge technology with the Philippines’ vibrant culture and natural history.

From its initial donation at the museum’s opening in 2018 to recent support for the National Museum of Fine Arts, and now to its latest donation to the National Museum of Natural History, LG hopes to continue enriching communities by blending technology, education, and cultural appreciation. This latest effort reflects LG’s dedication to honoring the past while embracing the future, marking a milestone as the world’s No. 1 OLED TV brand for 12 consecutive years.

Mr. Nakhyun Seong, Managing Director of LG Philippines, emphasized the significance of the celebration and the strong partnership between LG and the National Museum of the Philippines. He reflected on the meaningfulness of marking the 127th anniversary of Philippine Independence at the National Museum of Natural History, surrounded by the country’s rich biodiversity.

Highlighting the creative collaboration, Mr. Seong shared, “That spirit comes alive in our partnership with the very talented and young motion graphics artist, Mr. Isaiah Cacnio, whose art beautifully bridges nature, technology, art, and geology, bringing the natural world to life through digital creativity.”

Connecting the donation to LG’s milestone, he stated, “Today, we celebrate 12 years of LG as the world’s No. 1 OLED TV brand, a milestone built on innovation, passion, and trust. As a world-leading Korean brand, LG will continue to help make Filipino lives better—blending global technology with local culture, championing nation-building, and helping preserve the Philippines’ rich natural heritage and biodiversity.”

LG’s Product Director for Media Solutions, Mr. Yongwoo Park, explained the brand’s philosophy behind its Smart Life Solutions, introducing LG’s vision of Affectionate Intelligence—AI that adapts thoughtfully and personally to human needs. “We don’t just build smart TVs. We build experiences that are warm, personal, and intuitive,” he said, noting how LG’s AI-powered OLED TVs transform everyday life into something more effortless and meaningful.

How to Boost Your Immune System Through Nutrition

By

David Heber,M.D., Ph.D., FACP, FASN – Chairman, Herbalife Nutrition Institute

When people think about their immune system, they usually consider its role in fighting a cold or infection. However, there is a direct connection between the immune system and nutrition.

Our immune system is one of the most effective forms of defense against viral infections. There are two categories of immune functions in everyone’s body – innate immunity which prevents diseases from entering the body, and adaptive immunity which eliminates or prevents the growth of pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, in the body.

In a person who is malnourished, the immune system shuts down. In people who are overweight or obese, the immune system becomes hyperactive and causes inflammation. This is particularly concerning in the Philippines, where the 2021 Expanded National Nutrition Survey (ENNS), revealed that 29.5% of Filipino adults are overweight, and 14.8% are obese – a growing trend linked to sedentary lifestyles and poor dietary choices.

Also, as the country enters the rainy season, Filipinos are more prone to illnesses such as the common cold, flu, and other respiratory infections, making it even more important to focus on immune health.

How Nutrition Impacts the Body’s Immune System

There is a tangible connection between the immune system and nutrition. What we eat, where we live, how much we sleep, how we exercise, and even who we live with, are all caused by chemical reactions that can alter our health status.

Added to the mix is the microbiome, which is made up of the microorganisms we depend on to protect us against germs, break down food for energy, produce vital vitamins and bolster our immune system.

The largest part of the immune system ­– approximately 70% of it – is located near the intestines and monitors the intake of food and how the body uses it. This makes it critical for us to consume a balanced diet with the right vitamins, minerals, and nutrients while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

4 Tips to Increase Nutrients that Help Strengthen the Immune System

Eating a balanced diet requires ensuring that there is optimal nutrition intake at a cellular level. Make sure you consume enough of the following nutrients:

  1. Include protein in your daily nutrition.

Also known as the basic building block of the body, protein allows the body to manufacture antibodies that it requires to defend against invading viruses and bacteria. To ensure that we have sufficient levels of protein in our diet, we can eat more healthy protein foods such as fish, poultry, lean meats, soy foods like tofu and tempeh as well as low-fat dairy products.

  1. Incorporate vitamins and phytonutrients.

Vitamins A and C, as well as phytonutrients, are key players in immune system health. As one of the biggest immune system boosters, Vitamin C encourages our body to produce antibodies that fight diseases. It is essential to maintain a daily intake of vitamin C as the body does not produce or store it. Vitamin A supports the health of our skin, tissues of our digestive tract, and respiratory system.

Phytonutrients, which are found in vegetables and fruits, reduce our body’s oxidative stress, which may weaken its ability to fight off illnesses. A number of phytonutrients have been shown to reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, fight inflammation, lower blood pressure, and boost the overall health of our immune system.

  1. Focus on gut health with probiotics and prebiotics.

The digestive system plays a central role in supporting immune function. The intestinal tract is the main route of contact with the external environment and is a pathway that contains the microbiome that aids digestion as well as the absorption of nutrients. Having the right gut bacteria has been associated with benefits such as weight loss, improved digestion, healthier skin, and, most importantly, enhanced immune function, although research in these areas is not conclusive or universally applicable.

Studies have shown that probiotics, which are “good bacteria,” are useful in maintaining the digestive system, and prebiotics – types of fibre that the human body cannot digest – serve as food for these probiotics.

  1. Increase omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids, such as DHA and EPA, are healthy and essential types of fat, which can be found in food such as seafood, flax and chia seeds and supplements such as fish oil. Omega-3 fatty acids may enhance the functions of immune cells, which play a large role in both the innate and adaptive system that responds to infections.

Following general good-health guidelines – balanced diet, regular exercise – is your first line of defense and the best way towards naturally keeping your immune system strong and healthy.

The recently launched, ImmuLift, by Herbalife in the Philippines is an immunity-boosting supplementary drink. Formulated with a unique blend of ingredients that include EpiCor® (a clinically researched ingredient that strengthens the body’s first and second lines of defense), Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Selenium and Zinc, ImmuLift is designed for adults to support their daily wellness and help maintain their body’s natural defenses.

UA&P, Phildiz Studios, and Galerie Joaquin Launch “Giving heART” to Promote Philanthropy Through Art

The performing arts have long played a vital role in shaping well-rounded Filipino students, offering not just enrichment but integral formation rooted in the liberal arts. At the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P), this commitment is deeply embedded in its educational philosophy and is vividly expressed through its support for cultural expression and artistic excellence.

A key venue in this effort is the Celestino M. Dizon Auditorium. It has become one of the cornerstones of artistic expression and a sanctuary where creativity and culture thrive. For decades, it hosted countless plays, concerts, art and choral workshops, exhibits, and the like. However, time has taken its toll, and major renovation and upgrading works are now necessary.

In response, UA&P, in partnership with Phildiz Studios and Galerie Joaquin, proudly presents “Giving heART: Restoring the Legacy, Transforming the Future”—an art-driven fundraising initiative that seeks to support the restoration and upgrading of the Dizon Auditorium. More than a campaign, Giving heART is a collective effort to preserve this cultural landmark, ensuring it continues to inspire future generations. It recognizes the indispensable value of the arts in education and in taking part in preserving the spaces that allow them to thrive.

The initiative features a digital catalogue sale from June to September 2025, where patrons can support the cause by purchasing curated artworks and photographs from both acclaimed and emerging Filipino artists. A silent auction of ten (10) limited-edition fine art nature photographs by renowned photographer Philip Dizon will also be held. Catalogues can be viewed through this link: bit.ly/givingheart2025.

In September 2025, the campaign will culminate in an exclusive on-site exhibit at the Dizon Auditorium in UA&P Ortigas Campus. Guests will have the opportunity to view a curated collection of artworks and limited-edition photographs, with proceeds going directly toward the venue’s renovation. Through Giving heART, art becomes a medium not just of expression, but of advocacy, generosity, and hope.

Healthy Smiles and Transforming Lives: LISTERINE Partners with Operation Smile Philippines and Watsons to support comprehensive cleft care

For every LISTERINE product purchased at Watsons stores, a Php10 donation will be made to fund speech therapy for children with cleft lip and cleft palate by Operation Smile

Every three minutes, a child in Asia Pacific is born with a cleft condition, impacting their ability to eat, speak, and smile. In the Philippines, there is still a backlog of 200,000 cases of children with cleft lip and palate. Believing every child deserves a healthy smile, LISTERINE® partnered with Operation Smile and Watsons to provide comprehensive cleft care, including surgery, speech therapy, nutrition programs, hygiene kit distributions, and education for children and their families.

LISTERINE® strengthens its partnership with Watsons and Operation Smile this year by launching the “Healthy Smiles Start with LISTERINE®” campaign across Asia Pacific. The initiative aims to raise awareness about cleft lip and palate, generate donations for comprehensive cleft care, and promote oral health education and nutrition, especially for children.

LISTERINE® and Watsons have made it easier for Filipinos to create a meaningful impact through everyday actions. From April 17 to December 31, 2025, every purchase of a LISTERINE® product at Watsons (up to the first 50,000 bottles)* contributes to funding speech therapy sessions for children with cleft lip and palate in partnership with Operation Smile Philippines—transforming daily oral care into a compassionate cause. Last April, LISTERINE® urged Watsons shoppers to pledge their support by spreading awareness and inspiring others to donate, volunteer, or refer cleft patients.

“With Watsons’ strong presence across the country, we’re proud to help LISTERINE® bring this movement to life and expand its reach to communities nationwide,” says Lexie Coloma, Senior Manager for Corporate PR and Sustainability, Watsons Philippines.

As part of Kenvue, LISTERINE® is dedicated to promoting complete oral care through brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash in various oral health talks. “At LISTERINE®, we believe a healthy mouth is more than hygiene — it’s a gateway to confidence, dignity, and opportunity,” says Kate Bulan, Shopper Marketing, LISTERINE® Philippines. “Through the Healthy Smiles campaign and our partnership with Operation Smile Philippines, we aim to deliver healthier smiles and brighter futures for children with cleft lip and palate. This initiative invites everyone to join a movement that transforms lives, one smile at a time.”

Ramon Solas is living proof and a powerful example of how a single act of compassion can change the course of a life—and inspire a powerful ripple effect. Once a child born with a cleft condition, Ramon faced adversities like bullying and lack of self-confidence. After receiving life-changing surgery through Operation Smile, he gained a renewed sense of self confidence, even becoming an officer of the student council. Today, he’s come full circle, serving as a dedicated coordinator with Operation Smile Philippines. With every child he helps, Ramon is not just giving back—he’s passing on the same hope, healing, and second chance that once transformed his own life.

Apart from Ramon, thousands of children across Asia—including Chutima (Paeng), Worapruch (Lak), Supanat (Folksong), and Wang Nianyi—have undergone life-changing transformations through Operation Smile. From early surgeries and orthodontic treatment to ongoing speech therapy and dental care, these children and their families have gained not only healthier smiles, but also brighter futures filled with renewed hope, confidence, and opportunities thanks to accessible cleft care. Their stories highlight the transformative power of comprehensive cleft care. “Children with cleft conditions face challenges like difficulty eating, speaking, and social stigma. Our partnership with LISTERINE® and Watsons enables us to reach more children and create lasting change for families and communities,” says Rachelle Alovindas, Nutritionist & Senior Officer of Comprehensive Cleft Care at Operation Smile Philippines.

Through the efforts of LISTERINE®, Operation Smile, and Watsons, every purchase becomes more than a step towards one’s oral health—it becomes part of a life-changing journey of a child in need. Each restored smile represents renewed confidence, fulfilled hope, and a transformed community. Together, they are turning everyday routines into extraordinary acts of kindness. Be the reason someone smiles today—and for a lifetime.

Enchanted Kingdom, the country’s first and only world-class theme park, marked its 11th year of participation in the Department of Education’s Brigada Eskwela program by turning over two adopted kindergarten classrooms to Caingin Elementary School in Santa Rosa, Laguna. This is part of EK’s School of Enchantment program which aims to provide fun and unique learning experiences by blending entertainment and education.

Brigada Eskwela is a nationwide school maintenance program that engages all education stakeholders to contribute their time, efforts, and resources in ensuring all public schools are all set in time for class opening. This year’s theme is “Sama-sama Para sa Bayang Bumabasa.”

Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, this is the 11th year that EK is supporting the said program inline with its commitment to nation-building and education. Since 2012, EK has turned over a total of 14 refurbished kindergarten classrooms in nearby schools, ensuring that students have access to fun, safe, and magical learning environments.

The premier theme park’s very own maintenance personnel repaired and upgraded the lighting and electrical system of the classrooms as well as added furniture and shelves; while their visual artists brightened the atmosphere by painting EK’s beloved characters and core values into the classroom walls.

EK President and Chairman Cesar Mario Mamon expressed their commitment not only to expand their reach for Brigada Eskwela, but also to bring even more magical and educational experiences that go beyond the four corners of the classroom.

“Education is vital in our future plans because we want to provide an alternative classroom—that when you go to Enchanted Kingdom, students will be able to appreciate and learn about different subjects,” he shared.

In a separate meeting with Department of Education Secretary Sonny Angara, Mayor Arlene Arcillas, and officials from the Schools Division Office of Santa Rosa City, EK affirmed their support to all of DepEd’s plans and programs.

The turnover ceremony was graced by Santa Rosa City Vice Mayor Arnold Arcillas with Schools Division Superintendent (SDS) for Santa Rosa Hereberto Jose Miranda, CESO VI; Education Program Supervisor (EPS) for Kindergarten and Special Education (SPED) Maribel De Vera; Cluster III Public Schools District Supervisor (PSDS) Soledad Baylon; Barangay Caingin Captain Edwin Servo; Caingin Elementary School Principal III Guadalupe Factoriza; School Parent-Teacher Association (SPTA) President Josephine Mandala, teachers, parents, and students.

AMA Land – BCDA explore affordable housingopportunities in New Clark City

As part of its ongoing efforts to increase the supply of low-cost housing in New Clark City, the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) has tapped real estate developer AMA Land, Inc. to explore and study new affordable housing opportunities within the rising metropolis.

On Friday, 13 June 2025, BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua M. Bingcang and AMA Land Chairman Emeritus Dr. Amable R. Aguiluz V signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU), which establishes a collaborative framework for the conduct of
feasibility and business case studies on a potential affordable housing project within New Clark City.

This partnership aims to bring together the two organizations’ resources and expertise to create sustainable and inclusive housing developments in New Clark City, consistent with their shared goal of building dynamic communities while promoting environmental stewardship and long-term economic growth.

“Together, we will explore how to design homes that are not just affordable, but well connected, climate-resilient, and empowering—homes that allow working families to live near jobs, education, and opportunity,” said Engr. Bingcang.

“We thank AMA Land, led by Dr. Aguiluz, for sharing our belief that development must reach all sectors of society. Together, we are planting the seeds for communities that future generations will inherit with pride,” he added.

Under the MOU, AMA Land agrees to share its technical expertise and lead the technical assessments, feasibility studies, and business case preparation for the housing project.

Upon completion of these studies, AMA Land will provide recommendations on the project, with focus on sustainability, accessibility and inclusivity in the housing design. This is to ensure that the project will include a diverse range of housing options that can accommodate various income levels and family sizes.

“I call BCDA the department that never sleeps. Under PCEO Joshua Bingcang’s leadership, Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway, the Philippines’ longest toll road, now serves as an important milestone. Now, this collaboration between BCDA and AMA Land is aimed at
tackling the pressing issues of housing shortage and climate change. Not just in New Clark City, but eventually, in other BCDA properties,” said Dr. Aguiluz V, who also serves as the Special Envoy to Japan for Trade and Investments.

“This MOU signifies more than just a formal agreement; it represents a shared vision and a concrete step towards addressing critical needs within our nation. Our goal is to design and develop affordable housing projects and sustainable communities within New Clark City,” further remarked by Dr. Aguiluz V.

New Clark City is envisioned to be the country’s first smart, green and resilient metropolis, masterfully designed to embody the principles of sustainability and inclusivity. At its core, this district is being shaped into a people-centered development—envisioned to enhance the quality of life of Filipinos and empower local communities while catalyzing economic growth.

The development of affordable housing sites in New Clark City contributes to the Marcos administration’s goal of addressing the housing gap in the country. This is also aligned with the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028, particularly the strategies to establish livable communities.

Aside from this collaboration with AMA Land, the BCDA has made broad steps to establish low-cost and sustainable housing options in New Clark City. In July 2023, the state-run firm signed a MOU with the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) formalizing the two agencies’ partnership under the Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Program (4PH).

Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a persistent skin care concern, particularly for individuals with sensitive skin. Acne-related PIH affects 80% of patients. This is what happens when acne scars start to fade: the fading process usually takes a long time and can be a frustrating experience for those dealing with other skin problems.

Knowing that this frustration can cause consumers to seek unsafe and unvetted skin care practices, Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance, the brand recommended by dermatologists for everyone’s sensitive skin partnered with the skin experts from DermHQ to present the RadianceLabs Workshop (name to be finalized).

Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance offers a science-led, multi-action approach to tackling skin-related concerns—chiefly PIH, uneven skin tone and dullness for those with sensitive skin. The workshop aims to highlight the power of targeted ingredients and dermatological science in creating effective yet gentle skincare.

At the core of the Bright Healthy Radiance line is a synergistic blend of active ingredients called GentleBright Technology, with niacinamide, known to reduce the appearance of dark spots; and sea daffodil extract, which helps visibly reduce pigmentation. This unique formulation is clinically proven to brighten and even out skin tone without irritation.

DermHQ brings its clinical credibility to the collaboration, helping to translate scientific findings into real-world solutions for patients with sensitive skin. The RadianceLabs Workshop will serve as a platform for skin health professionals and advocates to discuss evidence-based strategies for managing pigmentation issues and improving skin luminosity—safely and effectively.

This initiative further reinforces Cetaphil’s position as a leader in sensitive skincare, offering solutions that are both gentle and powerful, grounded in dermatological science and clinical results.
