Olive Oil The Amazing oil


I never knew that Olive oil was also for good on skin until one of my friend taught me I can use it as a make up remover. Fortunately, when me and Tina went to the Cosmopolitan event last August, we saw a sign on Hand wash challenge for SOAPure Bath and Body booth. When I took the challenge, I got amazed because in a few minutes there's already difference on my skin. 

When I was offered for a level up, I gladly took because I knew that their products was all 100 % natural. Here's my new skincare routine.


It was delay though for using because I was caught up to busy schedule however, when I started using these SOAPure my life was changed. My skincare regimen starts when I took a bath when going to work, going to an event, make "gala". Here are the my new skincare routine:


I usually start with Lavender-Peppermint Sea Salt Scrub, I apply the scrub on my face, first I put a pea size sea salt scrub on my palm of my hand then I apply the scrub on my T-zone to my face and massage thoroughly in a circular motion then rinse it with cold water. In minutes, I can see the difference on my face, dark circles have reduced, whitens and smooth. Further, while scrubbing the smell is very natural and cold onto my face.


After sea salt scrub, I next proceed to the Panggas Langgas Bayabas soap, The soap is anti bacterial and anti inflammatory, infused of guava leaves and bark and it has citronella oil. I usually this soap onto my face and massage into circular motion and let it leave for a minutes then rinse with water. One of the great thing it removes dirt and oil. In addition, the smell of the soap is very natural and relaxing like when you are in spa treatment. 


Lastly, I would use Skin fairy blemish balm, I get a pea size of the balm then dab on the my face and massage it for few minutes and leave it then rinse with water, dry your face with clean cloth. At the time I use it, it makes my face smoother, fairer and lightens my skin. Further, I use the skin essentials for 5 days and I was able to get the satisfaction and difference of my skin that I was looking for a long time now. 

SOAPure hailed in Nueve Ecija and their products was based on all natural, skin-loving goodies specially handcrafted to make cleansing  and pampering rituals as indulgent as possible. No harmful chemical or toxins guaranteed.


Having the amazing ingredient of Olive oil to almost of all their skin essentials products was a sure fire hit to me since my skin is very sensitive. Lastly, since there are no harmful chemical or toxin as their ingredient it is good on all skin types.

Disclaimer: This product may have worked for me but it does mean applies to you as well. Setting expectation, the products are 100% natural.

PASIG RIVER MASTER PLAN COMPLETED




The PRRC, in collaboration with UP PLANADES, designed the Pasig River Integrated and Strategic Master Plan (PRISM) with a vision that by 2032, the Pasig River and its surrounding basins are resilient life-sustaining ecosystems that are able to support diverse human needs and biodiversity towards inclusive, harmonized, and balanced development co-managed by competent and adaptive institutions with responsible and empowered communities.
This new restoration strategy covers water quality management, stream flow management, catchment management and riparian management so that the Pasig River will again enshrine socioeconomic, aesthetic, environmental, recreational and cultural values amid changing risks and natural perturbations.
The illustration below provides a brief summary of the integrated wastewater treatment systems, one of the 19 priority projects proposed in the PRISM to help improve the water quality of the Pasig River, and for concerned agencies to comply with concession agreement, and other environmental laws.

PH’S PASIG RIVER VIES FOR ASIA RIVER PRIZE AWARD; COMPETES WITH CHINA’S YANGTZE RIVER


The Philippines' Pasig River, the cradle of early Manila civilization, has been selected as a finalist in the first ever Asia Riverprize by the prestigious International RiverFoundation (IRF) which recognizes and rewards organizations who are making a difference through effective river basin restoration and management programs.
 
It is a back-to-back nomination for the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) who just came from a successful campaign in the 2017 Thiess International Riverprize competition where the Pasig River was hailed as runner-up to the winner, San Antonio River of Texas, USA.
 
PRRC Executive Director Jose Antonio E. Goitia says that “the consecutive entries of the Pasig River as a finalist in the 2017 and 2018 Thiess International and Asia Riverprize, respectively, is a testament that the world recognizes the efforts of the Philippine government to restore the Pasig River and its environs since PRRC was established in 1999.”
 
Initially, the competition was called the Asia-Pacific Riverprize Awards which was opened to entrants from New Zealand, Australia, and 45 other countries. However, according to the IRF, due the to the high number and quality of entries received, they have made the decision to split the promoted Asia-Pacific Riverprize into two: Asia Riverprize and another category for the Australasia Riverprize.
 
After a series of tedious deliberations, the IRF has announced and congratulates the organizations chosen as Asia Riverprize finalists with the highest honors in river restoration and protection namely: the Pasig River (Philippines) and the Yangtze River (China).
 
Goitia adds “last year, the Philippines is the only third world and developing country that made it into the international finals and bravely competed with the US and the United Kingdom. In this year’s Asia Riverprize, we will be facing another super power – the red dragon, China. However, with an indomitable spirit, we remain steadfast and optimistic that we will stand triumphant in the end.”
 
In behalf of the IRF’s board of river basin experts, IRF Director Professor Bill Dennison says that “these different river stories are united by a common theme: excellence in river management.”
 
The Riverprize is not a competition of which river is more beautiful or cleaner. This is the reason why the IRF, comprised of river management experts and professionals from around the world, has given importance and consideration to the rehabilitation efforts of the PRRC to bring back the Pasig River system to life. It has acknowledged PRRC’s commitment in delivering quality projects, programs, and activities in easement recovery, housing and resettlement, riverbanks development, waste and water quality management, and public awareness.
 
Compared to the 1990s when it was declared "biologically dead," the Pasig River's condition now has significantly improved. Although the Pasig River development is a work in progress, many areas along the historic river have already shown signs of aquatic life and it has already become conducive for transport, recreation, and tourism.
 
PRRC’s Executive Director Jose Antonio E. Goitia, together with Public Information, Advocacy and Tourism Division Head George Oliver G. De La Rama, will be presenting and defending the Philippines’ Pasig River entry to a panel of esteemed judges in the upcoming 21st International Riversymposium on October 14 to 18, 2018 in Sydney, Australia. Members of PRRC’s Management Committee will also form part of the Philippine delegation.
 
The winner of the 2018 Asia Riverprize will receive widespread global recognition which can build new partnerships, provide opportunities for exchange of knowledge and best practices, and open doors for international support. Furthermore, the winner will automatically qualify for Stage Two of the Thiess International Riverprize in 2019.
 
As one nation, the PRRC seeks everyone’s support to its Pasig River entry in the 2018 Asia Riverprize. The Pasig River's victory is the victory of the Philippines and every Filipino who works hard and shares the same vision of saving our waterways and the environment. It will be the triumph of all who believe that the dream of a clean and alive Pasig River is within reach!
