Cleansing oils on the other hand, can actually cleanse deeper, without damaging the skin barrier.  How is that possible?  Oil itself actually dissolves and removes oil.  That’s why cleansing oils are better at removing oil-based makeup and cleaning out sebum from your pores.  No need to keep rubbing and scrubbing your face to get a deep clean, just let the natural cleansing property of the oil do the work for you!

You may already be familiar with cleansing oils, mostly to remove make up.  But even if you don’t wear makeup, using a cleansing oil everyday is better for your skin because it lets you thoroughly clean your face while keeping it moisturized. If you think that using a cleansing oil everyday is too expensive, then you might want to try the newly reformulated Céleteque DermoScience Advanced Anti-aging Cleansing Oil for only P249 (SRP) for a 50mL bottle!

All you need to do is to gently smooth the Céleteque Cleansing Oil all over your face, and it will get into every nook and cranny of your skin’s texture and blend with the oil-based makeup and excess sebum in your pores.  Use some water to emulsify the cleansing oil – it will turn into a white liquid.  Then rinse off!  All of the makeup, dirt, and impurities on your skin will be instantly washed away, leaving you with clean, soft, and moisture-balanced skin. You can also try the other option, which I usually do, just dab on some cleansing oil on a cotton ball, enough to cover and spread it on your face to remove make-up and moisturize it evenly as well. 

What makes Céleteque’s reformulated Cleansing Oil unique is that it has great ingredients for the skin, like vitamin E and Phytosqualane, so that you don’t just get clean skin, you get better skin too.  It has actually been clinically tested to lessen fine lines by 77% in just 4 weeks!

Once you've treated and covered the pimple, go on and apply your foundation, blending it into the sides of the pimple. Remember that shine actually accentuates the pimple, so for ladies, apply matte powder to set your foundation.  A makeup artist trick is to use a Hydrating Mist over your powder for a more natural finish.

With widespread health warnings about the dangers of too much sun exposure, opting to stay indoors to avoid harsh ultraviolet rays might sound like a good idea. But what most people don’t know is that avoiding sun exposure can lead to Vitamin D deficiency and increase their risk of developing chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular diseases and certain types of cancer.

For the longest time, Vitamin D was associated directly with bone health, but recently, it has received a lot of attention from the medical community and the media regarding its overall health impact. Studies show that people with chronic disease have low levels of Vitamin D.

And considering the Philippines is a tropical country, most would likely believe they’re getting enough Vitamin D due to the mainly sunny weather. Surprisingly and alarmingly, it was revealed that Vitamin D deficiency is becoming prevalent among Filipinos, with 7 out of 10 working adults identified to be suffering from such deficiency.  This is based on an ongoing study commissioned by Unilab in partnership with Hi-Precision Diagnostics among 5,000 working adults, 18 yo and above, who live in Metro Manila and other urban areas in the Philippines.

More than half of Filipinos are shown to suffer from vitamin D deficiency, cases of which have been steadily on the rise in the country. In efforts to promote awareness of vitamin D deficiency among Filipinos and provide a solution to the silent epidemic, UNILAB takes the lead by launching a new vitamin D supplement, Forti-D.

Various researches traced the high prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency to increasingly indoor lifestyles, with most cooped up in the confines of their offices during daylight. Other factors identified were practices such as using an umbrella and slathering on sunscreen at midday, which is actually the best time of the day to get the ideal amount of Vitamin D. These are the common practices that people inadvertently do that lead to a deficiency of the Sun vitamin. Nonetheless, factors such as skin color, age, clothing choices, cloud cover, and pollution also come into play in Vitamin D production in the skin.

It remains, that most of the Vitamin D production in the body relies heavily on the skin’s exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays, since including a Vitamin D rich food into one’s diet could only do so much as only 10 to 15% of the required daily Vitamin D dosage can be obtained from it.

It is highly advised for everyone to meet the required daily dose of Vitamin D to ensure strong and healthy bones and proper functioning of the body’s organs, to help reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases.

Got a chance to watch the premiere of The Janitor and here’s my take on the film. You may think this is just another story of a janitor who rose from rags to riches or from nothing to everything, well your in for a surprise. Nothing I mention above happened.

This is actually a real life drama that is happening before our eyes yet we chose to ignore. It is about what is going on behind most things we know or thought we knew.

The story started when a bank robbery happened early in the morning of one normal day and ended horrendously. All employees of the bank was killed in cold blood so as to hide the identities of the perpetrators. 

After the authorities reacted to this violent crime, they began to search for the killers. As usual, they found the lookout guy of the criminals played by Nicco Manalo who was tortured and forced to pinpoint who his accomplices were. The torture tactics was shown in this film which will reveal some truths behind the rumors we are aware of how police do their job to get answers from suspects.

Successfully, the police were able to ferret out the “truth” from the captured suspect which, by the way is a tricycle driver. One by one he identifies all his cohorts in the crime committed.

But instead of arresting all the suspects involved, the police used an illegal method in capturing the criminals. They used an assassin played by Dennis Trillo who's also an ex-cop, to finish all those supposedly involve in the robbery and killing. This is where the janitor comes in so as to clean the mess caused by the criminals.

Versatile actor Dennis Trillo during the movie's blogcon

The police assassin was given the information of each target he is supposed to take down. Every "intel" was being handed down to him by his superior officer played by Richard Gomez, whom he respects and trust most. It involves at least two policemen and other gang members. One of the suspect police is a well known drug-buster played by Derek Ramsay. This is why the assassin policeman started to have doubts on the information given to him by his superiors. But still he went on to do all what was being told and was able to finish his mission.

But something don’t add up for the janitor. He found out that something didn't make any sense and soon went out to investigate on his own. He was able to track down the lookout guy and forced him to tell the truth. He later found out the guy just made up the stories to escape further torture thus hanging a question of who were the real criminals. They maybe still at large.

The story gives us a perspective of how things are happening in real life. Everyday we find crimes happening and when the police capture suspects to show us, sometimes we doubt if they are the real criminals. Some crimes even went unsolved up to this day.

The film also depicts of Filipino family culture. It is evident in the story that Crisanto (Dennis Trillo) lives with his pregnant wife played by LJ Reyes together with Crisanto's parents with Irma Adlawan as his mother, who's paralyzed in the movie and Dante Rivero, the ruthless father. Everyone in the film played their part effectively and very well. This supports the statement, "There are no small roles, only small actors."

Everyone in the story were so "in" with their characters. Kudos to the whole cast and crew and of course to direk Michael Tuviera who had leveled "The Janitor" like that of the Hollywood films no wonder this film was the most awarded in the recently concluded Cinemalaya awards. Superb performances by the actors, double thumbs up!

I also wanted to commend Nicco Manalo for his portrayal of the role as the tortured suspect. That was the first time I saw him acting on screen but oh boy, that was so remarkable! Of course, Dennis Trillo, hats-off to you! You are such a versatile actor and hope that the Philippine cinema could produce more and embark on amazing actors like you. You're such an inspiration to your co-actors! Hope that you'd achieve everything that's on your bucket list. 

Truly, we could never get away with the truth, it'll haunt you. But the real problem lies when and where... and sometimes life is not that fair after all. In any standard, we should not forget to do good things to others so that good karma and good vibes will always come our way. 

Here's my Q and A moment with Dennis Trillo 





If you wanna know and be aware of what's real and what's supposedly the "ugly truth" in our society, please do watch this film. A very timely movie that will render you a lot of realizations in life. Graded A by the CEB and rated R 16 by MTRCB, Produced by APT Entertainment and distributed by Star Cinema. "The Janitor" is still showing in your favorite theaters nationwide!

Superbike Racing is known as a foreign sport for the adrenaline junky, with speeds reaching up to 300kph on straights and corners with very sharp turns.

Not known to many of Filipinos, Philippines actually has a growing and thriving superbike racing community. Races have been hosted regularly in our top racing circuits in Batangas and Clark, Pampanga. Teams have also been formed representing the top motorbike manufacturers such as Aprilia and Ducati. The Philippine Superbike Championship has produced the biggest grid of Superbikes in the Philippine Motor Racing history and will the series will end this weekend at Clark International Speedway October 4 and 5.
