Wonder Pets: Our Unsung Heroes at Home Amidst the Pandemic

As many of us cope with being separated from our friends and family, our beloved pets play an important role in keeping us sane and at ease with their unconditional loyalty. Pet Food Institute, the group advocating responsible pet ownership mentions the facts why our pets are our ultimate saviors while we are stuck in quarantine.

Fitness Pals

Some of us have resorted to working out at home, and some succeed as their furry friends are there to cheer. According to a study, exercising with your pet is known to have several health benefits. Exercising with your pet can significantly lower one’s blood pressure and help you calm down when you’re in distress.

Companionship At Crucial Times Like These

Several mental health experts expressed their concerns about the impact of being isolated at home as well as the drastic change in our routine pre-quarantine. Having our pets around has shown marvelous health benefits, including our mental health by decreasing our anxiety and feelings of loneliness.

Stress Relievers

Hugging and petting our furry buddies has shown to not only improve our relationship with them but they are also a great source of physical and psychological relief. While social distancing is strictly practiced, luckily, we don’t have to do that with our pets.

It may seem that the end of this crisis is still out of sight, for now, we can resort to our beloved pets as one of our main sources of strength and hope. We all just need to keep holding on until this all ends because we still need to take them for a walk in the park soon or simply giving them their favorite treats. They surely deserve it.

Mandaue City installs bike lanes for safer streets

Many Cebuano bikers, especially those residing in Mandaue City, will surely be amused as soon as waking up to this news.

On Monday night, the local government unit of Mandaue City shared on its Facebook page that personnel from the Traffic Enforcement Agency of Mandaue (TEAM) are working overtime to install bike lanes along A. Del Rosario Street in Brgy. Guizo, Mandaue City.

This action came after Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes said that he is against the registration of bicycles in the city. What should be done is make bike lanes for the bikers, to make the streets safe for everyone.

“Dili ta mo require nga ipa-rehistro ang mga biskleta dinhi sa Mandaue. Ang angay natong buhaton ensakto ug luwas nga bike lanes para sa mga bikers.”

– Mandaue City Mayor Jonas C. Cortes

Heart Evangelista sold artwork to buy 550 tablets for students

Tables have turned for this darling who’s been bashed for her love for fashion amid quarantine.

If you’re one of those who badmouthed Heart Evangelista for showing her love for fashion through her new PPEs, you might want to think again.

Heart Evangelista recently announced on Twitter that she is willing to help SOME students who couldn’t afford to buy a tablet for their education. When she learned about students needing a computer or tablet for education amid new normal, she immediately tweeted about her plans on helping the underprivileged students.

Aside from giving away some tablets, she is also doing some charitable efforts through Twitter prompting her to let the students in need to DM her on Instagram.

On June 6, Heart shared that she sold her artwork to buy 550 tablets and donate them to students who don’t have the means to purchase one amid online classes.

May this crisis help us realize the importance of the bayanihan spirit that we have lost for the past few years. Instead of tearing us apart, let’s help one another.

LOOK: John Lloyd Cruz giving Dimsum favorites to frontliners in Cebu City

No one is definitely stopping John Lloyd Cruz from helping the Cebuanos.

He is once again helping the frontliners in Guadalupe by personally giving the famous steamed rice (and water) from Dimsum Break. Today, June 8, Cruz has been spotted handing out these favorites to the frontliners. Apart from the vitamins and medicines he has given last week, he is again helping in his own ways.

John Lloyd Cruz is reported to be living in Guadalupe while taking care of his son. He’s definitely a great actor, no doubt. But he’s also a good father and an amazing person. Thanks, Lloydie!

Hit Thai series ‘2Gether’ coming soon on iWant and Kapamilya Channel

One of the most talked about Asian series in the Philippines for the past months will be shown soon with Tagalog dubbing on iWant and Kapamilya Channel.

On Sunday, Dreamscape Entertainment, an entertainment division unit of ABS-CBN, announced the ‘2Gether’ is coming soon on their online platform and their new cable, sattelite channel.

2GETHER, which averages 2 million views per episode on YouTube, is based on a novel by JittiRain. This is a series about Boys’ Love. Though not everyone might be accepting with the concept, this has been openly produced in Thailand.

The story revolves around a college freshman, Tine, who is being followed by a gay suitor. To shake his suitor off without directly breaking his heart, Tine’s friends suggest for Tine to ‘fake-date’ Sarawat. Sarawat is their university’s enigmatic and reserved , resident heartthrob. Like any other love stories, their fake relationship blossomed into something more real.

Kapamilya Channel

The well-loved ABS-CBN shows are returning to TV to bring entertainment, inspiration, and relief to Filipinos via cable and satellite TV nationwide beginning June 13.

Kapamilya Channel will be available on SKY, Cablelink, G Sat, and most member-cable operators of the Philippine Cable Television Association (PCTA) nationwide.

Hyun Bin and Ji Chang Wook are coming to the Philippines soon

It is no secret that Filipinos are enamored with Korean dramas. It started years back when several Korean series aired in Philippine television and eventually took the airwaves. Since then, Korean artists have visited the Philippines for fan meets and concerts, to personally greet and feel the warm welcome of their Filipino fans.

SMART, a local telecommunications company have released a teaser announcement revealing that “The Captain is coming. Watch out for the big RiVeal.” What a SMART marketing strategy, right?

However, it does not stop there because exactly a week ago, Bench founder Ben Chan broke the internet when he posted a video on Instagram with caption, “Your crush, landing soon.” With this, people knew in their Korean hearts that it had to be Hyun Bin, the lead actor in the hit K-Drama series ‘Crash Landing on You’. I mean, who else, right? Agree, CLOY fans?

Because people are so eager to know, it did not take long for Ben Chan to spill the beans as he eventually confirmed it in one of his interviews. He also revealed that the CLOY lead actor will be visiting Manila soon, and so will his fellow K-drama actor and Face of Bench Fragrances, Ji Chang Wook.

“Hopefully, we will do that late this year,” says Ben. “But to be on the safe side, we might do it early next year instead.”, he added.

Who else can’t wait for the Korean heartthrobs to land in Philippines soon?
