“I Love You, LC!” (ILYLC) is a full-length Filipino independent romantic comedy movie by Alma D. Roxas-Aguila of Aguila Media Productions and Services.

It is a movie conceptualized by Dave Aguila, founder of Low Carb and Intermittent Fasting Philippines (www.facebook.com/groups/lcifph), the largest, most interactive and fastest growing online low carb community in the country today. This group aims to spread awareness that obesity can be reversed without any supplement, surgery nor exercise and without feeling hungry.

ILYLC is a result of Dave Aguila’s realization about the need to step up in spreading awareness about the dangers of obesity and how it can be reversed or prevented via low carb and intermittent fasting when the membership of his online low carb community grew phenomenally from January 07, 2018 to more than 350,000 members after a year!

Globally, we are now at the highest rate of obesity. In the Philippines alone, there are about 18 million Filipinos who are suffering from being overweight or obese. Obesity is a very serious subject as this is a precursor to a lot of serious illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer, etc. which is why Dave Aguila, with his wife Alma Roxas-Aguila, decided to produce a movie that will help spread awareness of LCIF.

ILYLC is written by Dave Cecilio and directed by Dave Aguila and Dave Cecilio.

COMPASSIONATE HEALING: HOLISTIC INTEGRATIVE CARE CENTER

" When we understand our purpose, it is a moment of epiphany. It dawned on me that health should be everybody's concern and top priority. " Dr. Meddie

A recent visit to a one-of-a-kind clinic in Makati City opened a whole new perspective. A question popped up in my mind "Why should we settle for the traditional approach in medicine when we can also reap the benefits of alternative therapies at the same time?"

According to Dr. Imelda S. Edodollon, Medical Director of HICC, "Integrative Medicine is healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person, including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and patient, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapies. It isn’t just medicine. Your care team may also design a plan to help you build healthy behaviors and skills -- like smart eating habits and stress-busting activities. These things can keep you healthy for the long term."

Non-invasive whole-body scan results were astounding as Dr. Meddie discussed the findings. It was accurate enough to reveal issues with my gut and respiratory concerns. What I loved about it is it did not require blood sample, there was no need for Radiography, and most of all it was painless. The rest of the services they offer are: Therapy Services, Beauty & Wellness, Glutathione Therapy, Hyperthermia, Coffee Enema, Chelation Therapy, Immune System Boost, Mineral Repletion, Photon Therapy, and Ozone Therapy.

Rarely do we see such institutions which focus on the patient's wellness instead of profit. In fact, only a maximum of five patients are accommodated in a day as the treatment is almost a whole day process. It is vital that patients are accompanied by relatives for them to truly understand their medical conditions, how to take care of them, understand the root causes of their condition and how to make the patient’s life more bearable since after care is as important as treatment itself.

Part of the treatment is consideration of our diet. Chef Arlene Aquino Clemente is certified as a holistic raw food chef in Bali, Indonesia. I had the opportunity to consult her regarding my diet and I was enlightened on the importance of what we eat.

Slots are limited, and advance reservation is advised.

HICC is located at UG-11 CPT Condominium, Calle Estacion, Makati City, open Monday-Saturday (10am-6pm).

Go Negosyo marks another breakthrough for its advocacy of bringing mentorship closer to every Filipino through the Mentor Me On Wheels program in partnership with two biggest franchising organizations in the Philippines!

Both PFA and AFFI have been staunch supporters of Go Negosyo. PFA is guided by mission to promote franchising as a tool for economic development and nation building, through enterprise development and employment generation. AFFI, on the other hand, continues to inspire the public to take part in franchising industry offering technical assistance such as research and development and has taken significant marks in the industry.

" This is the first time that PFA and AFFI come together in a special round of mentoring for our aspiring franchisees and franchisors, Given their companies' success, I am sure that they were able to guide our mentees in scaling up or starting their own businesses by acquiring innovative franchise model, " Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship and Go Negosyo Founder Joey Concepcion said.

PA Joey Concepcion was joined by Amb. Philippe J. Lhuiller, Philippine Ambassador to Spain and other franchise owner such as Samie Lim, Chairman Emeritus of PFA; Dr. Alan Escalano, Chairman of PFA, and CEO of Fruit Magic; Richard Sanz, President of PFA and President of Bibingkinitan; Joyce Co Yu, President of AFFI and owner of Trueblends Tea and Coffee; Eric Caeg, Chairman of AFFI and President & CEO of RAP Training and Marketing Services; and Jorge Wieneke, Vice President of AFFI and President and CEO of Tokyo Tempura.
