According to ERDB OIC-Assistant Director Forester (For) Conrado B. Marquez: “We have carefully chosen LAC as the ideal location for the conference tour. LAC is a renowned agriceutical company and the tour provided invaluable insights to every individual regarding the importance and utilization of medicinal plants, as well as the various forest tree species. This immersive experience further enhanced the understanding and appreciation of the potential benefits that these natural resources hold for society."

Leonie Agri Corp.
LAC recently renovated its farm and manufacturing plant, to further its parent company’s mission of providing quality health and wellness products and services, with highlight on its combination of organic-based farming methods and produce as well as its pharmaceutical-grade processes and products. Along with its farm and plant improvements comes the widening of its product and service portfolio.

Home of Ascof Lagundi and WellGreens plus C-Lium Fibre
Home of the first Lagundi cough relief in the market, Ascof Lagundi² and the first commercially available Sinta food supplements, WellGreens Sinta, LAC is also home to premium and
organic-certified raw materials including Sambong (Blumea Camphor) and Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa). It also mostly manufactures C-Lium Fibre³, the leading psyllium fiber brand in the Philippines while another food supplement, PureGreens Malunggay is in the pipeline.

Government-recognized
LAC, certified by the Department of Agriculture for Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and by the Islamic Da’Wah Council of the Philippines for Halal, produces premium organic raw materials to meet the various toll needs of clients.

Industry-compliant
Also certified by Department of Health’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), LAC offers reliable toll manufacturing services such as:
Sachet filling, Blistering, Dehydration, Milling, Encapsulation, Packaging, Spray drying, Extraction, Essential oil extraction, and Sterilization.

Antonio C. Causing, LAC President and CEO affirms: “We share with DENR, the same passion for sustainability, and their vision of a nation enjoying and sustaining its natural resources and a clean and healthy environment. LAC for one, adheres to these sustainable practices and quality standards.”

Originally servicing clients in Southeast Asia, LAC is gearing up to explore more markets in Asia and the rest of the world in the coming years.

Corporate Social Responsibility
While LAC’s vision remains aligned with its parent company PascualLab’s vision for Strong, Healthy Families and its focus on market expansion, the Filipino-owned agriceutical firm continues to draw from its core – a passion for CSR. LAC is a socially responsible organization that employs sustainable methods. It also supports community development and the livelihood of local farmers. It partners with the local communities not only of Nueva Ecija, but also of Aurora and Bulacan in Luzon, Philippines to train farmers in the processes and standards of organic farming, providing them opportunities to improve the quality and increase the quantities of their crops, through earth-friendly methods, while earning a sustainable living as agripreneurs.

Beyond this, LAC reaches out to sectors in need and survivors of natural calamities.

PASCUALLAB shares the #PascualLove with the children of WORLD VISION

By Manila Bulletin

To spread the #PascualLove as part of its CSR program Sowing to Empower, Educate, and Develop (SEED) , Pascual Laboratories, Inc. (PascualLab) sponsor-employees spent a weekend of bonding over an art activity, talent showcase, group games, and basic health checks with children from World-Vision assisted communities in Malabon last May 6, 2023 at the World Vision grounds in Quezon City. PascualLab, a partner of international charitable institution World Vision since 2020, has been sponsoring children in less-fortunate communities in Malabon via the CHOSEN program. Through the program, these children were given the chance to pick their sponsors, essentially choosing people who can help them realize their wishes for education towards better lives amidst challenges including the current health crisis. Three years into the pandemic and during PascualLab’s anniversary month, the sponsors were finally able to be with the children who have CHOSEN them. Malabon plays a significant place in PascualLab’s history as the Pascual family traces its roots to this Northern part of Manila. PascualLab VP and CHOSEN sponsor Mia Pascual Cenzonshared: “PascualLab has always had a passion for CSR and a heart for family so we take every chance to help others through our health products and in more ways such as the CHOSEN program”.

Piolo Pascual Visits the Home of Poten-Cee

By Swirling Over Coffee

Poten-Cee + Zinc Advance (Vitamin C + Zinc + Cholecalciferol) Brand Ambassador Piolo Pascual recently made a surprise visit to the Bulacan manufacturing plant of Pascual Laboratories, Inc. (PascualLab), home of the
top-of-mind Vitamin C brand.¹ In true #PascualLove fashion, PascualLab executives and employees headed by Mia Pascual Cenzon, VP for Corporate HROD and Design Services & Corporate Communications, gave a warm welcome to Pascual who later took to the stage for a photo opportunity with lucky employees; toured the ISO:2015,
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Halal-certified facilities where some of the well-loved brand’s variants are manufactured; and joined a small gathering with PascualLab executive officers.

Alice Dixson Swears By Wellgreens

Source: John Michael Bueno

The woman who captured the fancy of every young Filipino through a shampoo commercial in the 80's still looks absolutely gorgeous. She's Alice Dixson, and judging by the looks of it... she's still as pretty.

She's doing several shows including highly successful First Lady (sequel of First Yaya) together with Sanya Lopez and Gabby Concepcion and previous Legal Wives on the same network. But how does she look this good? Alice affirms it's her natural, healthy choices.

She's a stern advocate of proper nutrition, diet, and help from WellGreens. This is Pascual Laboratories Inc.’s premium and certified organic natural food supplement. This year, their thrust has been to educate people about the benefits of taking food supplements that contain vitamins and nutrition needed by the body daily. They don't just get it from natural sources but also make it from certified organic companies like Leonie Agri Corp. that go through strict standards of farming, production and manufacturing of EU and USDA organic certification bodies. They (LAC) are also recognized for their Good Agricultural Practices by the Department of Agriculture. These WellGreens products such as Sinta, Lagundi-Cuban Oregano, Malunggay, Mangosteen-Malunggay and Ampalaya go through a stringent 13-step process. My personal choice is the Sinta as it is known as a herb that curbs type 2 diabetes which I have*. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that help manage certain inflammatory conditions*. This is also the reason why WellGreens is Alice Dixson’s healthy choice as she makes sure to incorporate preventive food supplements into her diet which she calls "self love".

According to Alice “I take Wellgreens so I can pursue more of my passions. It complements my already healthy choices, it goes beyond natural and is certified organic and premium. It also keeps my blood sugar in check and is easily available in stores nationwide."

If you want to get these supplements, they are available in Mercury Drug Stores, Shopee and Lazada through Pascual Lab's official stores. Currently, they have buy one take one promos for some of these products so go get them now. For more information, check out their social channels and official website at pascuallab.com.

PascualLove Live at 75

Source: AskFlow

After embarking on its 75th-year campaign #PascualLove, Pascual Laboratories, Inc. or PascualLab highlights its celebration of over 7 decades of health and innovation in a night of nostalgia, music, and thanksgiving via “PascualLove Live at 75!” this May 26.

“Care begins with family”
On May 26, 2021, exactly 75 years since PascualLab was launched, one of the most trusted pharmaceutical companies will look back to where it all started and what is at the core of it all – family. Capturing this familial care in music and video is the launch of “Walang Kasing” which captures PascualLab’s legacy of love.

The campaign #PascualLove, through the music video, emphasizes the kind of love that can only come from the family. For PascualLab, this love is manifested in the products it produces for Filipino communities, as well as in each endeavor it undertakes — from pursuing purposeful health innovations, to nurturing employees whom PascualLab calls Family Members, to serving the health needs of Filipinos.

#GalingPascualLab
Accompanying the night of nostalgia is also present-day music from one of the top artists of the Philippines and internationally known – Ben & Ben.

The 9-piece band, led by brothers, vocalists, and guitarists Paolo and Miguel Benjamin, is one of the most celebrated artists for having risen to the top of the industry in a span of 4 years for rhythm that touches the soul and lyrics that capture raw emotions, to the accompaniment of eclectic music.

Ben & Ben was the perfect choice for PascualLab’s 75th as the band is a family of their own who call themselves a family band or “famband” composed of twin brothers Paolo and Miguel Benjamin on acoustic guitars and vocals, Agnes Reoma on bass, Poch Barretto on electric guitar, Keifer Cabugao on violin, Pat Lasaten on keyboards, Toni Muñoz and Andrew De Pano on percussions, and Jam Villanueva on drums, who perform songs of love and positivity, values that the PascualLab Family believes and espouses.

On May 26, Ben & Ben will make viewers reminisce with their greatest hits such as “Maybe The Night”; trigger emotions with their stirring performances of “Leaves” and other notable songs; and speak of love on many planes with “Araw-araw”. #PascualLoveLiveat75 will be one for the books for Ben&Ben plus their fans too as the band will also mark a first, during the same night.

“From our family to yours”
PascualLab, the company behind the brands Poten-Cee Vitamin C, Vitex Negundo L. Lagundi Leaf (Ascof Lagundi), C-Lium Fibre, and OraCare Mouthrinse will make “PascualLove Live at 75” one night to remember as well with the presence of celebrities who have become part of PascualLab’s history such as multi-awarded actress and philanthropist Bea Alonzo, multi-faceted artist and philanthropist
Heart Evangelista, and many more!

Hosting the digital celebrations is multi-awarded and iconic disc jock
Chico Garcia. Garcia, known for the award-winning and long-running radio show
“The Morning Rush” is also the voice behind the “Back to the 80s” show that for years, brought back listeners to the best years in music.

Interesting trivia on PascualLab and special giveaways will also be shared in between.

Piolo Pascual joins PascualLab family

Multi-awarded actor, singer, and health enthusiast Piolo Pascual joins Poten-Cee Vitamin C’s family of A-list brand ambassadors as the latest endorser.
Piolo joins Poten-Cee’s powerhouse endorsers led by multi-awarded actress Bea Alonzo and just last year, by multi-faceted artist, fashion icon, and philanthropist Heart Evangelista.

Piolo, one of the Philippine entertainment industry’s eminent actors who has become one of the most recognized names since he first entered the industry in 1990, has proven himself a formidable force, giving life into and doing his best in whatever he dabbles in.
A well-known health and badminton enthusiast, Piolo puts a premium on his health, all the more proving that he is the easy choice to endorse Poten-Cee + ZN and Poten-Cee + ZN Advance, Poten-Cee’s newest variants.

A day in the life of mom Solenn

Source: Philippine Star

Solenn Heussaff starts her day right by rising early.
She wakes up around 5 to6 a.m., stays away from gadgets,
soaks in the peaceful, early morning air, and gets ready
for the day ahead.

Starting her day right helps the TV host/actress and
businesswoman power through the everyday life with
one-year-old daughter Thylane Katana and husband
Nico Bolzico.

In a recent exclusive interview, the 35-year-old gave
The STAR a snapshot of her day.

“Usually in the morning, it’s Nico who takes care of
Thylane. So, I have that one hour to do the things
I want to do, chill if I want to chill or walk around
the village. From that point until around lunch,
I’m full-on (mom mode) with my daughter.
We do activities like biking outside. I do colors with her
and play cards. I just keep her busy because she’s at a
very difficult stage. They call it the Leap 9, where her brain
is just super developing and just needs to be busy
all the time,” she shared.

“In between, I either prepare our meals or do meal-planning
for the week. I have an excellent cook at home so I’m
happy she’s now taking over the whole cooking department.”

The actress-TV host with Argentinian husband Nico Bolzico
and their one-year-old daughter Thylane Katana.
Solenn then works from home all the way to 5 p.m.,
during which she holds virtual meetings (especially as she’s
launching new products this month) or tapes episodes
for her GMA lifestyle show Taste Buddies. By five, she’s
done with work and goes walking again, this time with
Thylane, to complete at least three kilometers a day.
Sometimes, mom and daughter visit the village park where
the latter gets to interact with fellow children. “By 7 p.m.,
I start Thylane’s bedtime, bathe her, feed her and then
put her to bed. And then that’s when I have my dinner,
watch one movie after or usually one episode a night.
(I) sleep early. I’m in bed at 9:30 every night.”

When asked for practical tips on how to balance mommy
duties and all, she said it’s important to draw up a to-do
list every night. It doesn’t have to be filled up with 300
things to do, she stressed, just two to three tasks that
need to be accomplished the next day because
“you have a bigger chance of fulfilling every single thing.”

The STAR got to ask Solenn these questions after she was
introduced as the face of the fiber supplement
CRX C-Lium Fibre’s new campaign dubbed
Start Your Day Right, which spreads the word about
digestive health and the benefits of daily fibre intake.

Solenn said on being tapped as endorser of the supplement
she takes in the morning: “I have been blessed to have an
amazing husband and now a daughter who support my
endeavors. Now, I have a new partner in health whom
I can turn to, to keep my digestive health, even my
cholesterol and sugar, in check.” (As the product’s
description says, its psyllium fibre is what helps control
cholesterol and blood sugar levels, along with proper diet
and regular physical activity. It can be mixed with water
or juice, if not consumed as a capsule. It comes in mango,
pineapple and dalandan flavors and can be purchased in
drugstores, supermarkets and online via PascualLab’s
Shopee and Lazada stores).

C-Lium couldn’t have picked a more ideal celeb than
Solenn to champion digestive health. To many, she’s a
fitspiration and “mom goals”. Does she feel any pressure
to live up to those labels? She said, “I just do what I do
and if you like me, okay. If you don’t, okay din (laughs).
I don’t get pressured by the title. I don’t like titles na nga,
I mean, whatever (laughs).”

Solenn is also a visual artist, who recently held a
solo exhibit dubbed Kundiman
One “title” she embraces with all her heart is being a
mom. Since Thylane was born on Jan. 1, 2020,
Solenn takes pride that she has witnessed all her
baby girl’s milestones.

During our chat, she opened up about how motherhood
changed her, from her fitness habits to career priorities.
She also talked about her marriage to Argentinian businessman
and social media star in his own right, Nico. They recently
celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary, which they both
hilariously forgot because by Solenn’s admission, they’re
not the “ma-celebrate” type of couple. But amid the
lockdown and all, one thing she has confirmed is that she
married right.

“Yeah, because my gosh, we’ve been together for 10 years
but I’ve never spent this much time with him.
(Before) we’d see each other at night, go on a trip,
have maybe two-week trips together and everything.
But this pandemic, we’re 24/7 together. If it didn’t work,
it didn’t work.”

On the fulfilling and challenging parts of raising a toddler
amid a pandemic:

“Fulfilling amidst the pandemic (because) it’s good to be
at home 24/7, like every single first word, every single
first movement and hand gesture, every single thing,
I was present. I was there. I didn’t miss anything,
so that was really, for me, the most amazing.

“Challenging, of course, because I feel like socializing
children is very important. I feel like maybe kids of this
generation might have difficulties in the future when it
comes to socializing or being amongst people. Luckily,
the age of Tili (Thylane’s nickname), she’s a toddler,
they still don’t get what’s happening so that’s not a
problem yet, but I do try to socialize her.

“I was pregnant (at the same time) with nine of my very
good friends. We didn’t plan it. All our kids are the same
age by one or two months (of difference) so I know they’re
safe, I know they’re home, so I know that it’s safe for me
to go to them or for them to come to me, so we do have
playdates for our children.”

On being hands-on with Thylane:

“No (I don’t have a yaya for her). I was never planning to
get one actually because I just felt like I wanted to be really
hands-on. Then obviously, the pandemic hit and so it
allowed me to just be home. And now that I’ve seen how
delicate and precious babies are, even if times were normal and I would have a second child, I think I would do it the same way.

“I really want to be, at least for the first three years of their
life, the one doing everything. Obviously, I’ll need some help
when I really go back to full-time showbiz or stuff like that,
or have to go out, or have to travel without them. But as of
the time being, it’s just amazing that I’m able to witness
every single milestone she’s going through and spend time
also with Nico.

“Because before this, we’ve been together for 10 years,
but in those 10 years I’ve been super busy with showbiz.
I was hardly at home. I’d get home to shower literally sometimes
. So, I’ve really gotten the chance to reconnect with him,
with the family. And for me, it’s really a blessing or like,
it’s the silver lining of this pandemic.”

On how her outlook on health has shifted since becoming a mom:

“I’ve always been on the healthier side since I was 25.
I’m turning 36 (in July), so yeah, it’s been 10 years that
I’ve really been like, I look into things I buy and the groceries.
I make sure there’s not too much of this ingredient and
that ingredient, but I’m not naman super OA. I really love food
and I like to enjoy my food. I still like to go out to restaurants
and I like my junk food every now and then. But overall,
if you look at my lifestyle, it is a healthy lifestyle. I work out a lot
I eat right at home. And this pandemic just showed us even more
that you really need to be healthy because those who were
healthy and infected by COVID had bigger chances than those
who had unhealthier lifestyles.

“Being a mom, of course, I want to be here for the rest of my
daughter’s life to make sure that she has help. I wouldn’t want
anything to happen to me, not for selfish reasons, but because I
would want her to always have me and Nico by her side when
she’s going through certain things in her life.

“So, if I am healthy then I’m also giving her a better lifestyle
because I’m making sure that I’m able to do the activities I need
to do when she grows up. I’m able to keep up with her because
she’s full of energy and I can already imagine her in a few years’
time. It all goes hand-in-hand. You want to be healthier for the
people around you so you can really be more for them also.”

On how her priorities have been changed by motherhood and
the pandemic:

“Now, personally, I know that I don’t want to do showbiz
100-percent anymore. Before, I was all work, work, work!
I didn’t want to be home. If I had one day-off, I was like,
‘Oh my gosh, I’m jobless!’ Like, I was freaked out already.
But now, you know what, I’m okay with doing 50-50.
Or just doing projects when I feel like doing them because
I want to be present.

“If this hadn’t happened, I think I would still be on that
bandwagon. And, obviously, you know the people that are truly
important to you are those who really stuck by you during
this pandemic. So, you get to eliminate toxic people.

“And then start like new courses online and all the things you
wanted to do but you were too busy to do. You actually had the
time to sit down or read the book you want to read or do the
online class you want to take or
learn a language.

“Of course, I know I am more privileged than others so I’m not
saying it was easy for everyone. It wasn’t easy for me but it was
even harder for other people so I am lucky to be in that spectrum
where I had my savings and everything. I think it was very different
for many people. But even for those who had a difficult time,
I think they had some type of clarity with this pandemic.

“Even Nico. When Thylane was first born, for example, he was leaving
at 7 a.m. and then coming back at 6 p.m. every day so he didn’t really
get to bond with her. And then now, the pandemic happened. Of course,
lots of things happened to him, and they’ve had to fire people and
close companies, it’s very sad also. But he saw that aspect of,
‘I can actually work from home.’ So, in the future, he wants to do at least
just part-time, like three days a week in the office and be present talaga.
So, we all have different (realizations)... Again, it enlightened us in some ways,
(giving) clarity of what you really want in life, what’s really truly important.”

On being married to Nico, a fellow fitness and health enthusiast:

“The advantage is that he is more of a ‘workout-holic’ than me. I’ve been lazy
and to be quite honest, I work out three to four times a week. But if it were
in the normal times where I’d have to actually fit into certain clothes or
attend an event, I think I would have more of the push. But that shouldn’t be
the reason. Other people’s views on you shouldn’t be the reason,
but I would have more of that push to like, okay I need to look fit because
I’m attending this or I need to fit in this.

“But nowadays, I literally live in my pajamas. I’ve lived in two pairs of slippers
for the last two years, you know what I mean... So, I haven’t had to do that extra
(because) I’m not seeing anyone. That (the workout) is really for myself.
So, it’s a little bit harder to wake up and be like, hey, I need to do my five-kilometer
run or whatever.

“But the good thing is having a husband like Nico. He will die without exercising
so he runs 10 kilometres every day. If he doesn’t work out, he’s in a horrible mood.
So, I really get inspired by him. When I’m lazy and be like, I’ll do it tomorrow,
he’s like, ‘You have all the time to do it today, so do it today.’ He really pushes me.
So that and his humor. We laugh a lot. Laughing is good for your health.”

After embarking on its 75th-year campaign #PascualLove, Pascual Laboratories, Inc. or PascualLab highlights its celebration of over 7 decades of health and innovation in a night of nostalgia, music, and thanksgiving via “PascualLove Live at 75!” this May 26.

“Care begins with family”
On May 26, 2021, exactly 75 years since PascualLab was launched, one of the most trusted pharmaceutical companies¹ will look back to where it all started and what is at the core of it all – family. Capturing this familial care in music and video is the launch of “Walang Kasing” which captures PascualLab’s legacy of love.

The campaign #PascualLove, through the music video, emphasizes the kind of love that can only come from the family. For PascualLab, this love is manifested in the products it produces for Filipino communities, as well as in each endeavor it undertakes — from pursuing purposeful health innovations, to nurturing employees whom PascualLab calls Family Members, to serving the health needs of Filipinos.#GalingPascualLab
Accompanying the night of nostalgia is also present-day music from one of the top artists of the Philippines and internationally known – Ben & Ben.

The 9-piece band, led by brothers, vocalists, and guitarists Paolo and Miguel Benjamin, is one of the most celebrated artists for having risen to the top of the industry in a span of 4 years for rhythm that touches the soul and lyrics that capture raw emotions, to the accompaniment of eclectic music.

Ben & Ben was the perfect choice for PascualLab’s 75th as the band is a family of their own who call themselves a family band or “famband” composed of twin brothers Paolo and Miguel Benjamin on acoustic guitars and vocals, Agnes Reoma on bass, Poch Barretto on electric guitar, Keifer Cabugao on violin, Pat Lasaten on keyboards, Toni Muñoz and Andrew De Pano on percussions, and Jam Villanueva on drums, who perform songs of love and positivity, values that the PascualLab Family believes and espouses.

On May 26, Ben & Ben will make viewers reminisce with their greatest hits such as “Maybe The Night”; trigger emotions with their stirring performances of “Leaves” and other notable songs; and speak of love on many planes with “Araw-araw”. #PascualLoveLiveat75 will be one for the books for Ben&Ben plus their fans too as the band will also mark a first, during the same night.“From our family to yours”

PascualLab, the company behind the brands Poten-Cee Vitamin C, Vitex Negundo L. Lagundi Leaf (Ascof Lagundi), C-Lium Fibre, and OraCare Mouthrinse will make “PascualLove Live at 75” one night to remember as well with the presence of celebrities who have become part of PascualLab’s history such as multi-awarded actress and philanthropist Bea Alonzo, multi-faceted artist and philanthropist Heart Evangelista, and many more!Hosting the digital celebrations is multi-awarded and iconic disc jock Chico Garcia. Garcia, known for the award-winning and long-running radio show “The Morning Rush” is also the voice behind the “Back to the 80s” show that for years, brought back listeners to the best years in music.
