Wazzup Pilipinas!

Epson Philippines Corporation (EPC) shared their wondrous achievement with the media during the 6th annual media thanksgiving event dubbed as Epson Fusion.

May 20 to 22 is three days of another welcomed break for the media as Epson holds Epson Fusion Six at the beautiful island of Huma located at Busuanga, Palawan. The past years of Epson Fusion were all breath-taking adventures meant to thank the media for all the support.

It may have taken us four hours of travel (due to delayed flight of the airline) by air, road and sea, the long hours was worth it upon seeing our destination. As great as it looks in the pictures found at their official website, Huma Island is a level higher than the previous Fusion event venues.

This is my third year, and something tells me this is going to be the best. Actually, every year keeps getting better and better. We would like to personally thank Epson for their generosity and may this be a lasting relationship for all. After all, Epson has been my favorite brand when it comes to printers and projectors.

Watch out for our stories about Huma Island as we show you the amazing sights that made this place a must destination for your bucket list. You really have to experience it personally for the photos do not give enough justice to how awesome this place really is.

At a time when we face an abundance of choices in how, when, and why we use product so have sunscreen products slowly evolved from being solely used at the beach during summertime to a daily skin care staple. The message is clear: not only is it important to prevent sunburn, it is equally important to prevent rapid skin aging and deeper cellular damage.

Daylong, a dermatological suncare brand from the makers of Cetaphil, is the first to explicitly advocate daily sunscreen application. In its recent efforts to support its cause, Daylong conducted a UV-exposure study to investigate whether the outdoor sun at the beach shows the same level of strength in the city – even when indoors.

Together with five Filipina urbanites – Jaymie Pizarro, Jackie Go, Marj Sia, Janeena Chan, and Marie Lozano – Daylong used sun sensors to track daily UV exposures in Metro Manila for a week. From day to night, their daily activities were recorded, even when indoors.

The study showed that in Metro Manila, the daily UV Index recorded reaches up to 10 from 12nn to 1pm, which places a ‘Very High’ risk from unprotected sun exposure. Comparing the city’s UV index to Caticlan (Boracay) and El Nido (Palawan), and data showed both summer destinations also reach UV Index 10 during the same hours.
