I was honored to attend the launching of Goo.N Diaper here in the Philippines last few weeks ago. It was privately held at Anahaw Room of Manila House in BGC. Upon entering, I was surprised how beautiful the place is, the red artistic wall, the chandeliers, the chairs, everything in that place was perfect! This is absolutely a private place! Well, Manila House is an exclusive member’s only club that offers stunning, luxurious world-class space with one of a kind facilities including all-day fine dining room, upscale Japanese with communal seating, and function rooms.


Inside the Anahaw Room are some chosen Mommy Bloggers and Medias to cover the said launching. A scrumptious Japanese food was served for lunch.



GOO.N Diapers is a leading diaper brand in Japan and Southeast Asia such as Thailand and Indonesia, and is now in the Philippines through One-Stop Distribution Inc (ODI), a distribution company known for bringing premier brands in the country.



“Japan is known for its cutting-edge technology when it comes to their products, and diapers are no exception. We are thrilled to bring GOO.NDiapers to the Philippine market. Its affordable price points will make sure that we can bring these superior-quality diapers closer to Filipino families, so infants and toddlers can enjoy the best of their surroundings, while parents relish in quality time without worrying about their babies’ comfort.” says Jesse Ho-Maxwell, President of One-Stop Distribution, Inc.

Sisters Jessica Kienle-Maxwell and Stephanie Kienle-Gonzalez, GOO.N Diapers’ newest brand ambassadors, are ideal examples of moms on-the-go. As these well-known designer duo lead hectic schedules, making time for both their families and their careers can be quite a challenge.

“Motherhood is such a life-changing experience. Your priorities and your values change, and ultimately, you just want the best for your baby. When I first had my child, juggling my work and parenting together was tough. But as I learned along the way, choosing high-quality diapers was so important for my baby’s welfare and makes my job a lot easier,” shares Steph “And now that Jess has just given birth, I can’t wait to share more of my parenting tips and experience motherhood together with her!” 


They also conduct a demo in which they plunged the three different brands of diapers in the water to test which diaper has super dry and high absorbency. The result, Goo.N remains dry! GOO.N Diapers give the best diaper technology and offer the best comfort for babies as they grow from newborn to toddler. Its ultra absorbent core and super soft, dry and breathable outer sheets wick moisture away from your child’s skin and allows your baby to move freely! With GOO.N, babies can experience uninterrupted sleep and more active playtime. Moms need not worry about having to change diapers all the time or feel anxious that their babies will get messy leakage or diaper rash.


I tested the diapers to Rhaine and happy to say that she didn’t have any nappy rash problem while using Goo.N Diaper. Here are the reasons why I recommend Goo.N diapers to your children:

Liquid Lock System

New innovation (3D dot emboss) new surface design with high softness and powerful absorbing qualities through the Liquid Lock system gives the baby a dry and comfortable feel during any type of movement.

Firmly Fit

With new elastic tension and high flexibility allows the baby to move freshly without any irritations.


Look, how kulit is my bunso...
Wetness Sign

Wetness sign (color indicator) turns blue to remind the mother to quickly change the baby’s diapers in order to prevent skin rash



Adhesive Tape

New material and shape of adhesive tape prevents skin irritations after repeated movements and use.



Super dry and high absorbency

Super lock system effectively absorbs liquid and prevents it from flowing back through the surface resulting in the diaper being dry and comfortable for all-day use.



Their diapers range from NB to XXL. The pants type comes in a super-thin and  stretch-to-fit diaper design, which fits like real underwear that prevents leakage and ensures a secure fit while allowing my baby the freedom to move about.



GOO.N Diapers are available in SM Hypermarket, Rustans, Robinsons, Lazada, Makati Supermarket, Pioneer, Unimart, Rose Pharmacy, Generica, Puregold (Duty Free), Landers, Baby Company, Fishermall. Alfamart, Cash and Carry, Alturas, and others, and comes in different sizes from Newborn to XXXL.

I’m so overprotective mom to my two toddlers, I want them to have a strong skin which protects them against scratches and scrapes from rough play. To be honest I sometimes say “NO” to rough play but Johnson’s empowers mom to now fearlessly say “PWEDE!” to #DADVENTURES with the help of Johnson’s® Milk+Rice™ and Johnson’s® Milk+Oats™ at the #Dadventures Camp headlined by Dingdong Dantes, Marian Rivera and baby Zia.



We went to the Johnson’s® #Dadventures Camp held recently at Dusit Thani Manila, it was an indoor spectacle complete with wooden camp accents, colorful teepees, and a picnic area where guests gathered to know more about what #Dadventures are and how parents can keep their little one’s skin strong and healthy at all times—so they’re always ready for rough play!



Upon entering the venue, there are the camp rules: 
  1. Moms, leave your “Kaba” at the door.
  2. Let Dad have his fun.
  3. No saying “No!” to #Dadventures.

The hosts, Bettinna and Clinton Carlos, kicked off the event with a warm welcome and a brief discussion of the camp guidelines, telling moms to leave all their worries at the door and let the dads have their rough and tumble moments with the kids. “As a single mom, I was really overprotective of Gummy when she was a toddler,” Bettinna shared. “Luckily, my brothers Clinton and Alison were always there to keep the mood fun and play the happy-go-lucky father role to Gummy.”



Johnson’s® encourages anxious moms like Bettinna to say “Pwede!” to moments of rough play. The brand lovingly refers to these activities as #Dadventures, special moments of bonding with a father-figure that contribute to a toddler’s happy, healthy development.

‘Camp Counselor’ Professor Perlita De Leon, an expert in Developmental Psychology from UP Diliman, supported this, saying, “Many local and international studies highly encourage rough play because it plays a vital role in a child’s physical, social, and cognitive development.” She cited a statistic, lifted from a global survey, that said that ‘40% of dads are told “NO” by their partners when they start engaging their toddler in rough play’.


While well-intentioned, anxious moms who deprive kids of these #dadventure moments might be doing more harm than good. According to Professor De Leon, exposure to new environments and the opportunity for play not only aids in the formation of friendships, it also boosts self-confidence. Games such as crawl racing and kiddie wrestling strengthen the muscles and aid in the development of fine and gross motor skills. Through the use of tools that encourage a bit of problem solving, cognitive functions are nurtured. She clarified that “The benefits of #dadventures are can be gotten even if play is led a brother, an uncle, even mom herself – as long as the person exhibits the same behaviors and mindset traditionally displayed by “dad”.

To equip moms with the knowledge to ensure that #dadventures are safe, Dr. Loverna Arcilla Suratos, MD, FPDS emphasized that it is important for toddlers to have strong and healthy skin. 


“The skin is your first layer of defense against environmental irritants. Young skin – even up to age 7 – is still developing. In fact, a child’s skin is 30% thinner than an adult’s and therefore still weak and prone to irritation, scrapes, and scratches. By keeping your little one’s skin nourished, you can help it become stronger, more elastic, and more resilient to scrapes and scratches,” Dr. Suratos shared.

She recommended to resist the temptation to switch to family bar soaps that can further weaken skin and to continue use of mild liquid washes and lotions that contain powerful nourishing ingredients. Oats, for example, contain avenamethrides, a naturally-occurring compound that has properties that protect against skin irritation. Products that contain milk and rice are often fortified with vitamins that help keep skin not just soft and smooth, but, more importantly, strong, healthy, and ready for #dadventures.



Coming from Dr. Suratos’ recommendations on what ingredients to look for in a skincare product, Ria Gatmaitan, Senior Brand Manager of Johnson’s®, revealed that the Johnson’s® Milk range contains precisely those ingredients Dr. Suratos recommended, citing the Milk Proteins sourced from European cows, Colloidal Oats, and Rice Extracts found in each formula.  


Johnson’s® Milk+Rice™ is fortified with 200% more skin vitamins and Johnson’s® Milk+Oats™ locks in moisture for up to 24 hours so that skin feels strong and healthy after just one use. She ended her talk by encouraging moms to be fearless when it comes to allowing rough play and to say “PWEDE!” to #Dadventures with the help of JOHNSON’S® Milk+Rice™ and Milk+Oats™

To demonstrate the efficacy of JOHNSON’S® Milk range, celebrity mom Marian Rivera applied these products to Zia’s skin before visiting the different camp stations. “JOHNSON’S® baby talaga ako ever since! I use it on myself and on Zia kasi tried-and-tested brand na talaga siya at palaging may bago.


The Dantes Family Go On #Dadventures
Dingdong Dantes and Zia were the first pair who tried the various #Dadventure Camp activities before the rest of the guests followed. Dingdong proudly said that the kinds of tasks they accomplished at each station are similar to how they play at home. “Pagod but it’s very worth it. I truly support #Dadventures, for I know it will make Zia more sociable and bonded with me, just like how my dad and I were,” shared Dingdong.


Superstar Marian Rivera was of course present all throughout the event to cheer for her husband and kid. Asked how Marian felt while Dingdong and Zia were playing, she said, “Sa totoo lang, I’m the stricter parent and hindi talaga ako masyado pumapayag sa rough play noon. But knowing Zia’s skin is protected with Johnson’s®abapwedeng-pwede na talaga mag-#Dadventures ang mag-ama koDati kala ko mild lang or nakaka-ganda lang ang Johnson’s Milk, ‘yon pala nakakapagpatibay din siya ng skin.”



Take it from the Dantes family and say “PWEDE!” to #Dadventures with Johnson’s® Milk+Rice™ and Johnson’s® Milk+Oats™ baby bath and baby lotion. Available in leading supermarkets, drug stores, and department stores nationwide.


Thank you Johnson's Baby Philippines for these goodies.

I have two beautiful girls and both of them love Jollibee so much! In fact, whenever we go out for a date, my children would always request for the Spaghetti at Jollibee. We even have a stuff toy and plates from Jollibee. Our panganay celebrated her 2nd birthday at Jollibee and now we’re planning to celebrate Rhiane’s 2nd birthday on August at Jollibee. (Mga batang laki sa Jollibee, like us.)


So we were all excited when I got an invitation from the country’s leading fast food chain for the launching of the newest and coolest addition to the Jolly Kids Party, the JolliRace theme last March 18. 



With JolliRace, all racetracks lead to a fun, Grand Prix experience. Boys and girls will have a blast on their special day with balloons, relay games, awesome prizes, and a delicious cake prepared to give them a birthday party set at full speed.


Jollibee, Yum and Popo will thrill party guests in this one-of-a-kind celebration. All these, plus Jollibee langhap-sarap favorites Chickenjoy, Jollibee Spaghetti, and Yumburger meals, make the JolliRace Jolly Kids Party a sure winner among kids and kids-at-heart.

An exciting first race

Recently, little ones came for a preview of racing fun at Jollibee E. Rodriguez. The launch of the new JolliRace Jolly Kids Party theme welcomed media guests, radio personality Delamar Arias with her sons Cooper and Parker, and celebrity mom Bettina Carlos with daughter Gummy and nephew Camilo Marco.



Everyone enjoyed the series of exciting games as well as the race-themed party hats, loot bags, balloons, prizes and other party favors. Guests also had a wonderful time posing in front of a photo wall featuring the race cars of Jollibee, Yum and Popo. Some guests even dressed up in their racing gear to win in the best in costume contest.


Happy Birthday to all March birthday celebrants

All in all, it was an epic day at Jollibee, with everyone enjoying great packages of langhap-sarap meals with their little ones. JolliRace guests brought home party goodies to go with their jolly, cool memories.

Recreate the thrill of the racetracks and enjoy the newest and fastest route to a memorable birthday celebration today. Parents booking a Jolly Kids Party can mix and match party elements for 30 or 80 guests with Jollibee’s “Create-Your-Own Package” option.



After choosing from among Jollibee’s four special themes: Jollitown, Hello Kitty, FUN-tastic Factory, and the newest JolliRace, parents can get in the back seat and let Jollibee host the jolliest party experience for their kids.

The Jolly Kids Party is available for booking in store or set up in chosen locations. For more information on birthday fun that is up to speed, visit jollibeeparty.com.

Last December 24, together with my husband and ChingChing, we were able to witness one of the most prestige and big-scale circus in town – Le Grand Cirque. Thanks to Mommy Bloggers Philippines for the complimentary tickets. 



We were seated at the VIP portion of the Araneta Coliseum that’s why we were able to witness the acrobatics, aerial tricks and amazing stunts up close.  Sharing with you some of the highlights of the event and be amazed on the spectacular acts done by the most talented and world-class artist from different country.

Some of the stunts they performed are the Aerial trapeze, Fire Dance, Hoop Diving and my favorite – The Strongmen. Remember, these are just some of the electrifying acts from the 2 hour Las Vegas style show. Although sometimes some of them fall during the performance, they still stand up and continue what they are doing. Ang galing napaka professional talaga.

Overall, we really enjoyed the show and one of the best gifts ever for our daughter as she keeps on saying “Wow! Ang galing”!” until the end of the show. Nakakatuwa!
