Win a trip to Japan for two by entering the FLYTOJAPAN promo of Mamypoko at Lazada Philippines.
As soon as I saw that I got excited. My sisters and I have dreamed of vacationing in Japan for the longest time and maybe this is our chance to do so. In the last couple of weeks I have done a lot of shopping … A LOT OF CHRISTMAS SHOPPING at Lazada and used every voucher code available that I was eligible for and now there’s this.
Our Bubu and my daughter, Erika
Since we do have a baby in the house, my grandchild Bubu, including Mamy Poko in my shopping list is no hardship. She is still young enough to need a diaper when we go out and when she goes to bed at night.
We’ve tried other brands but I, personally like buying the Mamypoko Extra Soft Diaper Pants For Girls in XL. It is easy to wear and no trouble to remove, especially now that she is at that stage that she prefers to use the potty over peeing in her pants. No stickies to worry about, just pull them up like pants and voila!
Let me add, also, that it is no trouble for ADULTS to remove. For, Bubu, though, it’s still too tricky. She’s already figured out how to open the adhesive sides of other diapers so pull ups or pants was the only solution left. 🙂
How to join:
Joining the promo is easy!
- Buy any Mamy Poko product from http://www.lazada.com.ph/mamypoko-official-store.

Cheetos is a favorite snack for many people, my sister and her kids among others. Whenever I buy a bag of Cheetos I often get the Cheddar Jalapeño flavor ’cause I like that little bit of bite.
Taco Bell has been experimenting with mixing snacks into their menu for quite some time. Remember what they did with Doritos just a while back? For this “experiment” their think tank must’ve said … “what would happen if we combine a cheesy quesadilla with Cheetos?”
Cheetos + Quesadilla = Cheetos Quesadilla
For the first time in Taco Bell’s history, two of your much-loved favorites come together to make an irresistibly good and even cheesier pair!
Always with a flair for giving new and exciting treats to its customers, Taco Bell launched its latest offering Cheetos Quesadilla’ in an exclusive media event on November 23 at Taco Bell’s flagship branch in Gateway Mall at the Araneta Center in Quezon City. Bloggers and members of the press satisfied their hankering for cheese as they tried out this unique and exciting product exclusively available at #TacoBellPHL.
The Cheetos Quesadilla Combo
The new Cheetos Quesadilla, priced at P129 and P169 when ordered combo, is a combination of grilled soft tortilla filled with Taco Bell’s signature three-cheese blend and your favorite crunchy puffed cornmeal snack, Cheetos Crunchy Jalapeño. The launch of Cheetos Quesadilla is just the beginning of a slew of exciting promos that await Pinoy foodies this Christmas. Cheetos’ official mascot Chester Cheetah also made an appearance at the launch.
Speaking of promos, #CatchChesterCheetah as he visits Taco Bell stores this holiday season, snap a photo with him, and post it on lnstagram using the official hashtag #TacoBellPHL and #CatchChesterCheetah and you might just win an lnstax Mini. SMILE! 😀

Did you know that …
Cheetos are scientifically designed to be addictive.
Cheetos’ airy texture melts in such a way that it actually fools the synapses in the brain so that you don’t realize calories are being consumed!
Weight watchers beware! If you aren’t careful the pounds/kilos are going to start piling up and before you know it you will look like Cheetos. 😛 Everything in moderation, folks!
Taco Bell’s Cheetos Quesadilla is made with the addictive Cheetos Crunchy Jalapeño
Made with Taco Bell’s signature 3 cheese blend with a spicy kick of Cheetos Crunchy Jalapeño wrapped in a warm tortilla makes this an addictive treat. You can’t help but keep asking for more – trust us!
Cheetos Quesadilla is only available in Philippines!
Yes you heard it right. No other Taco Bell in the world has offered a Cheetos Quesadilla, only in the Philippines.
Taco Bell and Cheetos has always been good friends
Earlier this year, Taco Bell Canada released their own version of a Cheetos Crunchwrap.

Colgate-Palmolive Philippines celebrates 90 years of operations in the country, providing generations of Filipinos with quality brands for oral care, personal care and home care such as Colgate, Palmolive, Tender Care, Gard, Axion and Ajax.
The Palmolive Company Philippines was established in 1926 with an office in the Binondo district of Manila with just five employees. Products sold during those days included Pompeia cosmetics, Octagon laundry powder and Crystal White laundry bar.
It merged with Peet Brothers the following year and with Colgate Company in 1928. Popular products such as Colgate Ribbon dental cream and Cashmere Bouquet toiletries were added to the product range along with Palmolive soaps, pushing accelerated growth for the next few years. Products at that time were delivered to stores by carabao or horse-drawn carts.

In 1941, during World War II, invading soldiers sealed the office and looted the warehouse. Loyal employees were instructed by their imprisoned manager to preserve company records. Two employees managed to enter the office but couldn’t escape with the ledgers.
They ended up manually copying all entries, word for word, for over a week. With records intact, the company was able to collect all receivables from insurance after the war and resume business.

Soon after, Ajax powder cleanser was introduced to the market and, in 1949, the company was incorporated as Colgate-Palmolive Philippines, Inc.
While the company may have begun by importing products from the US, growing demand for its brands prompted it to inaugurate a manufacturing plant in Makati in 1951 and to establish a provincial warehouse in Cebu in 1959.
Marketing Highlights
Colgate-Palmolive Philippines was the first company to advertise in color in 1966 when local TV advertising switched from black-and-white to color.
The Palmolive Naturals soap “I can feel it” tagline from the 1987 TV commercial, which featured Alice Dixson and her iconic shoulder shrug choreography, was adopted globally in 1991 and eventually won a Pilak Award in 2002, representing the best Philippine ads of the last 50 years.
In 2007, Colgate’s nationwide Super Mega Brushing campaign earned it a Guinness World Record for most number of children brushing their teeth at the same time. A total of 41,000 students participated in Manila, Cebu and Davao.
The Palmolive Naturals “Bounce” music video, which featured three of the country’s biggest stars: Julia Barretto, Janella Salvador and Liza Soberano, was hailed as one of the top 10 performing ads on YouTube in 2015.
Community Engagement
One of the core values of the company is caring for the communities where it is present. The Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures program has been supporting oral health education across the country through free dental screenings and tooth-brushing drills, distribution of oral care kits, and integrating oral health education materials with Kinder and 1st Grade school curricula.
This is made possible by the company’s partnership with the Department of Education for nearly 2 decades.
Through its collaboration with the Philippine Association of Dental Colleges since 2001, the company has sponsored various symposia on dental health as well as provided more than 200 scholarship grants to dentistry students nationwide.
Colgate has also been an exclusive partner of the Philippine Dental Association’s annual Kabarangay sa Dental Health Program, raising oral health awareness all over the country through free dental check-ups and product sampling.
As part of its 90th year activities, Colgate-Palmolive collaborated with Puregold to support Operation Smile Philippines, an NGO focused on providing free surgeries to indigent children afflicted with cleft lips/palates; as well as Robinsons Supermarket to help raise funds for World Vision Philippines, an NGO that provides assistance to impoverished children.
Colgate continues to be the Oral Care brand most recommended by Dentists* and Palmolive remains to be the #1 Personal Care brand, in the Philippines**.
* IPSOS Dentist Recommendation Survey 2016
** Kantar Brand Footprint 2016
About Colgate-Palmolive Philippines:
