Wazzup Pilipinas!?




Just in time for Nutrition Month, SM Supermalls partnered with Mesa ni Misis to celebrate the healthiest SuperMoms Meetup at the SM Megamall Event Atrium on July 22, Saturday.

SuperMoms gathered once again for the biggest and grandest super momma convention, which also marked the launch of Juana’s Table, the newest recipe book by Mesa ni Misis’ Juana Manahan Yupangco.

“We SuperMoms hold the power to shape the future of our children's health. By embracing a plant-based diet and introducing it to our families, we can ensure that our little ones grow up strong, vibrant, and armed with the necessary tools to lead a healthy and fulfilled life.” said Grace Magno, SM Supermalls Vice President for Corporate Marketing.

 

SM Supermalls and Mesa ni Misis, through the recipe book, aimed to educate moms on the importance of healthy and sustainable eating. Written by Yupangco herself, who is a food security champion and advocate for local produce and farmers, the book is filled with healthy and affordable meal options that moms can easily create in their kitchen using the freshest produce found at the SM Sunday Market.

During the event, participants were treated to a cooking demo by Yupangco, who was then joined by celebrities and certified SuperMoms, Dimples Romana and Patti Grandidge Herrera who whipped up a veggie gimbap using fresh, local ingredients. They showcased how easily one can create a delicious and healthy meal for the whole family using one of the many recipes found in the book. Also, moms got the chance to discover how to practice sustainability in the household through cooking.

The meetup featured on-ground activities for moms such as the SuperMoms Club Photo wall where SuperMoms got to take photos with their goodie bags and a raffle draw where lucky SuperMoms won special prizes and other awesome surprises from partners and sponsors.

Started in 2018, SM Supermalls’ SuperMoms Club is the Philippines’ largest mommy community on Facebook. Its on-ground event, the SuperMoms Meetup, has become an avenue to further build a stronger community of inspiring women and super mommas who uplift, support, and encourage each other.

We want to make you feel valued and cared for, and at the same time, we want to give you a voice to be heard at home, in the workplace, and in your community. Your SM Supermalls family will always be here for you, listening to you and understanding your needs and helping you throughout your motherhood journey,” said Juana Manahan Yupangco.

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Vision Express, a leading provider of vision care products and services forges a partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd) to launch #VisionForEducation - a series of initiatives aimed at enhancing the visual health of students nationwide. 

Through this collaboration, Vision Express aims to provide massive eye-health campaigns, free eye tests, and eyeglasses to students in need. Many students face challenges in their academic journey due to undiagnosed vision problems, which impede their ability to comprehend and absorb information. 

#VisionForEducation helps identify and address visual impairments, ensuring that students can reach their full potential in the classroom.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with the Department of Education in our shared mission to provide better visual health for students," said Neelam Gopwani, Managing Director of Vision Express. "We firmly believe that clear vision is an integral part of learning, and our collaboration with DepEd allows us to contribute to the overall well-being and academic success of young learners."

In the coming months, Vision Express, through #VisionForEducation, will participate in a series of DepEd’s initiatives starting with this year's National Learning Camp and Palarong Pambansa.

“I would like to thank Vision Express for this very significant partnership not only for Palarong Pambansa but with all other programs of the department,” said DepEd Assistant Secretary for Operations Francis Cesar B. Bringas. “We see that the contribution of Vision Express is very essential particularly that it has something to do with the eyes. We know that this is one particular sense that is really helpful when you engage in learning and in sports.”

Vision Express is eager to embark on this partnership with the Department of Education and looks forward to making a significant impact on the lives of students through improved visual health.
