NOVUHAIR turns favor with Holiday bash promo

So you’ve got your festive outfit set and the fancy gift wrapped for your “monito” or “monita”. All that’s left undone is a party season-perfect hairstyle. 

The fresh out of the shower look can be seductive yet temporary. Blame it to tropical climate, it can spoil your appearance, besides making you feel sweaty and stale. The heat and humidity brought about by extreme weather condition, likewise, dries out the locks easily and make it more fragile. 

Adding damage to your delicate strands are the chemical contents of various products on hand. From shampoo to conditioner and hair treatment, down to styling goods to groom it to your liking, their harsh synthetic materials jeopardize the natural oil and luster of your mane.

Because you are what you eat, the fate of your crowning glory is in the plate. Your diet must have the correct balance of vitamins and minerals to supply hair with all that it needs to become shiny and strong. So don’t overindulge, especially this time of the year when gastronomic feasts are spread almost everywhere you go. Be careful on what you take in, thinking that it’s also what you feed your ‘do.

Even stress can wear off the beauty and health of the tress. And that’s exactly what you should avoid this Yuletide season. Never put pressure on yourself just to please everyone. Just take it easy, let your hair down and party all night long.

The Philippines’ top MMA prospects got a big boost in their bids to make it big with the launch of the Cage Gladiators initiative

A brainchild of former fighter and soldier-turned-businessman Laurence Canavan, Cage Gladiators is a non-profit organization aiming to “empower and help Filipino fighters who have the heart and courage to put themselves on the line for pride and8 glory.”



“Filipinos are natural-born fighters, born with indomitable spirit and a courageous heart and willing to work hard to achieve their dreams,” Canavan said.


Cage Gladiators, he added, is also open to “help all the brave but impoverished Filipino fighters climb out of underprivileged and humble beginnings and make a better life for themselves through sponsored training and basic education of the business side of MMA in order for them to have a better chance of a brighter future after their career.”



Initially, nine Pinoy warriors campaigning in major MMA organizations have been initially taken under the wings by Cage Gladiators, which will complement the program with a fearsome website designed to be the central hub of MMA here.



They are UFC campaigners CJ “Golden Boy” de Thomas, Jenel “Demolition Man” Lausa, and Rolando “The Incredible” Dy, ONE Championships’ Eric “the Natural” Kelly and Edward “The Ferocious” Kelly; URCC’s Drex Zamboanga and Rex de Lara; Boxing World’s Roman “the Hitman” Canto; and PXC’s Glenn Ranillo.


“We’re training with our own teams (right now) but (in the future) we can train together and build a strong team here in the Philippines,” said Eric Kelly. “In the States, they cross-train; everybody there meets at the gym. I wish Cage Gladiators will make one gym here in Manila or in Baguio so we can train together.


Present during the press conference of Cage Gladiators at the Cheers Sports Bar and Cafe in Makati are, from left, Eric Kelly, Roman Canto, Glen Ranillo, Jenel Lausa, Drex Zamboanga, Rolando Gabriel Dy, Edward Kelly, Rex De Lara and CJ de Tomas of Cage Gladiators.

The reviews are already in from the experts – creators who’ve had the chance to test the new iMac Pro touted the major improvements to performance and their workflows with Radeon Pro Vega graphics, letting them bring their visions to life without barriers or compromise.

• Craig Hunter, a mechanical and aerospace engineer, summarized the iMac Pro as a “graphics powerhouse — I continually marveled at how crisp and clean everything was rendered with no apparent overhead or impact on performance.”
• Video editor Thomas Carter found, “I’ll repeat that once more. 8K. Color correction. Blur. No Rendering. No ‘1/4 quality’ BS. No frames dropped."
• Vincent Laforet, a photographer and director, experienced a two to three times boost in speed in his workflows. He concluded, “In short – this is a KILLER machine for any serious photographer, filmmaker, or VR producer. Period.”
• Mac and iOS app developer Cabel Sasser’s described testing FireWatch with the iMac Pro and the Retina 5K iMac, resulting in 62 FPS at 2560x1440. He also witnessed a 41 percent boost in compiling Xcode projects on the iMac Pro compared to a standard Mac Pro.

Teachers board topnotchers from Mindanao support extension of Martial Law in region

Teachers board exam topnotchers from Mindanao recently expressed strong support for government’s one-year extension of martial law in their region for the sake of improving peace and order conditions, they expressed this view at the non-partisan Pandesal Forum brunch with media at Kamuning Bakery Café in Quezon City. The Mindanao-born teachers board topnotchers included the first legally-blind and Muslim teachers board exam topnotcher Abdulaziz Hajimin Dapilin of Lamitan, Basilan province; Darlene Z. Mula of General Santos City; Anielyn D. Ladica of General Santos City; Gerald Ryan O. Reburcio of General Santos City.

The topnotchers were accompanied to the Pandesal Forum by their review school’s owner and Quezon City Chamber of Commerce & Industry past president Dr. Carl Balita, who said these talented and idealistic young people overcame poverty and other hardships to attain their goals.  

            Declining good job offers in Metro Manila, Abdulaziz Hajimin Dapilin said at the Pandesal Forum with media that he plans to fly back to his native Basilan province in order to work there in helping improve education for special children or disabled kids, because he said he had difficulties in schooling because he was given no such education tailored for special kids. He lost total eyesight at age 9 and had to struggle to cope with academic studies. Dapilin said that extension of martial law is alright, as long as there are no abuses and as long as better security can be given their region. He appealed to media to present a more balanced picture of Mindanao region, that their place is not all about wars and conflicts, that there are many beautiful and peaceful places such as Basilan province and his hometown Lamitan. Dr. Carl Balita complained that during the teacher board exam, the examiners took away Dapilin’s talking calculator which a blind student like him needed, so there war no way for him to accurately figure out some complex math questions during the board exam but still he came out a topnotcher.

            Nurse board exam topnotcher Maria Cecilia Campos from Lorma College in La Union province is another inspiring story presented at the non-partisan Pandesal Forum of Kamuning Bakery Café, because her father Maximino Campos is an ordinary carpenter and her mother Ernalin Campos is a housewife. Her parents couldn’t afford to send her to school, so it was her aunt Victoria Duculan who helped pay for her education. Maria Cecilia Campos said her inspiration to study hard and diligently is her family, their love and support for her despite their poverty. She said she shares the other topnotchers’ high hopes for a better future for their families and a better Philippine economy in 2018.

4 CBK Hardware Inc.

Co Ban Kiat Hardware Incorporated is one of the few pioneering hardware businesses in the Philippines which has withstood the test of time. It all started in the 1920 when the family patriarch Mr. Cobankiat opened a store in the heart of the Manila Chinatown under the name of Co Ban Kiat Hardware. Business resumed after World War II but it was not until after three years later, in 1948, that the company
recovered. The new CBK building was constructed on the very same spot where it stood before the war.

Co Ban Kiat Hradware Inc. (CBKHI), also known as the “House of Improvements”, has been the forefront of homebuilding supplies. From selling nails and iron wires as their main products, CBKHI has evolved and is now considered as one of the country’s leading suppliers of the top-of-the-line hardware materials.

Driven by excellence, CBKHI initiated the retail concept for hardware stores in the country by putting up the Hardware Workshop Store.

To cater to the growing demand of industrial and onstruction industries, CBKHI transformed itself by providing corporations with tangible solutions to address their primary concerns on safety and quality.

This also paved way to the birth of Coby’s Design Center in Edsa Shangri La in 1996. This specialty store offers a wide array of products that showcase versatility and Innovativeness to suit the discriminating tastes of the modern Filipino.

In 1997, Mr. Johnny Cobankiat took the advantage in bringing a franchise of Ace Hardware USA in the country with Cobankiat Hardware as one of its suppliers. In time, CBKHI expanded its distribution channel and is now considered as one of the leading suppliers in all major retail or home improvement stores in the country.

With its nearly a century’s excellence and guided by its vision to be the largest network supplier of the biggest brands in the world in the hardware industry, CBKHI resolve to work at sourcing the best products to supply its customers anytime and every time.
