“As Filipinos, we follow many of the Chinese New Year traditions that are believed to bring in luck and fortune. SLAMCI encourages everyone to complement these traditions with action, with the help of the Sun Life Prosperity Card,” SLAMCI President Valerie “Riena” Pama said. “They can use the card to begin their investing journey or give it as a gift of prosperity. The best part about it is that it grows in value over time.”

The Sun Life Prosperity Card may be purchased from a Sun Life Financial Advisor, at any Sun Life Financial Store, or online at sunlifeprosperity.com.ph.

With this newest offer from SLAMCI, we all hope that this will encourage more Filipinos to have the habit of investing, earn passive income and ultimately achieve financial security. 

In line with this, SLAMCI’s financial literacy advocate Matteo Guidicelli will be spearheading the multi-media campaign. “I am proud to be part of this campaign because I understand the importance of investing for the future and the value of financial freedom,” Matteo said. “With the Sun Life Prosperity Card, even the youth can easily start investing, because it’s easy to purchase and can be conveniently activated.”

Apart from the Sun Life Prosperity Card, SLAMCI is also set to launch more new offerings as the year unfolds. Two new dollar-denominated funds will be introduced as the latest additions to the Sun Life Prosperity Funds, while a regular investment program will also be initiated in partner banks.

SLAMCI will also be enhancing its digital capabilities and further strengthening its presence in key cities nationwide. Meanwhile, the company will also continue with its multi-media campaign dubbed “Slam the Scam,” which was created as a response to the proliferation of investment scams in the country. With actor Matteo Guidicelli at the forefront, the campaign imparts practical tips on what to consider when choosing an investment company, as well as red flags on dubious organizations

“This 2016, SLAMCI’s aims to introduce more Filipinos to investing and encourage them to explore a wider array of financial instruments that would enable them to achieve their financial goals,” Pama said. “We look forward to touching more lives and helping them find their way to prosperity.”

PRESS RELEASE: UNAHCO INTRODUCES NEW LINE OF PET PRODUCTS, DOGGIESSENTIALS

Univet Nutrition and Animal Healthcare Company (UNAHCO), the agribusiness unit of pharmaceutical leader Unilab introduces its newest products under the Doggiessentials line.

Doggiessentials is not just another dog or pet care product but they aim to look after the total well being of our furbabies. The newest line includes dog food under the Yum Yum brand, dog shampoo under the Bubble Bath brand, and Dextrolyte Powder, a ready-to-mix dextrose powder with electrolytes to help animals fight stress and dehydration. 

Doggiessentials Brand Manager Chester Subagan said UNAHCO recognizes the huge potentials of pet products due to the growing number of people who consider pets as perfect companions whether at home or outdoors. 

Being a pet parent to my furbabies, Crumpy and Cheesecake, I am excited to hear about affordable and quality products that ensures not only good looks but for the overall health and well being of our beloved pets. With a company that share my same vision about genuine pet care, I am looking forward in trying their products. 

Their dog food brand, Yum Yum, comes in two variants: Hi-Protein for puppies and the Adult variety which is fortified with Omega 3 & 6. Both variants have flavor peptides and Vitamin B Complex to enhance appetite and promote strong growth.

YUM YUM! Adult (20kg) - Php 1,333.52

Bubble Bath Grooming - Nourish & Protect (500ml) - Php 278.88

Dextrolyte (5g 48 x 1) - Php 162.40

YUM YUM! Hi Protein (20kg) - ₱1,539.51

Bubble Bath, on the other hand, is a pH-balanced dog shampoo that eliminates odor because it is formulated with the right acid-to-base ratio to keep dogs’ skin and coat healthy.

“An unbalanced pH level can harm the dog’s skin and coat, making them uncomfortable and prone to skin irritations,” Subagan explained. “The perfect pH level for dogs is 7, the pH level of pure water, and this is what we offer with Bubble Bath.”

“A pH level that is too acidic can strip your dog’s acid mantle, causing the skin to become dry, flaky and stinky,” he said. “A pH level that is too basic, on the other hand, can cause unhealthy skin which becomes conducive to fungi, bacteria, parasites and other viruses.”

Dextrolyte, for its part, serves like a sports drink for dogs. I have always believed that we should ensure that electrolytes are replenished or adequate, when they are not feeling very well and after we travel.
