Jollibee and its creative agency Publicis JimenezBasic (PJB) show the kind of Christmas that Pinoys love and have longed for in the fast-food chain’s latest ad for the holidays.

How Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Series can help sleep-deprived Filipinos

Filipinos are among the world's most sleep-deprived, according to a global health study. And, while a lack of sleep can be caused by a variety of factors such as work, illness, stress, excessive use of social media, and unhealthy eating habits, failing to get enough rest can lead to serious health problems in the long run.

Listerine Total Care Sensitive: The solution to sensitive teeth

Nine out of ten Filipinos today experience pangingilo (sensitivity), which manifests as sudden, acute pain in the gums and teeth. This is generally induced by hot or cold food. Even if the unpleasant experience is just momentary, it may be rather annoying and prevent us from enjoying life's basic pleasures. This is especially true considering that sometimes all it takes to make a terrible day better is a cup of coffee or a scoop of ice cream.
