Always in FRONTROW with Tag Media Group outreach efforts

Frontrow, the Philippines number 1 Multi Level Marketing Company with over 2 million distributors globally never ceases to help out. As we all know, Frontrow, true to their name, took the forefront in helping out the less fortunate ones most affected by the pandemic. They were even tagged as the biggest celebrity donor last year.

July 14, 2021, Headed by Kiwanis Philippine Luzon District  Division 3A, 2022-2023 Lieutenant Governor Elect Grace Bondad Nicolas and her mother Remy Bondad, another community outreach was held, this time for the farmers in Barangay Imok, Calauan, Laguna, in cooperation with the Department of Agrarian Reform. One of its objective is to connect the farmers to the Department in order to air their situation and needs.






Frontrow has long been supporting all outreach efforts of Engr Grace. They have been partners for this endeavor for several years now. Not even the deadly virus can stop them, Engr. Grace quips.



 

 “It is actually second nature for us to reach out to the Filipino people even before the pandemic. When we were starting in 2009, in 2010, we were really struggling….. but Multilevel marketing, when done properly, when done with the purest intentions, and when done with your whole heart and spirit that you just want to help alleviate every problem that the Filipino has, I think GOD UP ABOVE will give his guidance and blessing.” - RS Francisco during the American Association of the Philippines George Washington Charity Dinner, where “Frontrow Cares” got the Outstanding Pandemic Public Health Service Award.

 

FRONTROW is an exclusive distributor of credible, tried and tested, award-winning health and beauty products.

Arid and Aroids Founders with Grace Bondad Nicolas

Famous right now with 20 hectares nursery in Quezon, business partners; Horticulturist Boyet Ganigan and Dr. Fernando Silvestre Jr. are not just helping the community right now by providing affordable, accessible and local & imported plants but also innovators in their own ways.

 

Lots became Plantitos and Plantitas, those individuals who loves to collect and plant ornamentals that started last year during the height of this global health crisis to ease the anxiety brought by this pandemic. So the arrival and launching of different branches of Arid and Aroids became very popular because of the growing demand for plants.


 

Grace Bondad Nicolas (First female President of American Association of the Philippines, Business & Lifestyle writer of different broadsheets nationwide, Entrepreneur, Host, Blogger and Plantita) interviewed one of the co founder of Arid and Aroids, Boyet Ganigan at Silang, Cavite, the main showroom with endangered and one of a kind plants globally.

 



“We have 400 registered resellers and all are very passionate on what they do to serve the customers. We’re here to give accessibility and that’s why we’re checking different sites to put our collection to showcase and sell the Plantitos and Plantitas. Soon we will be in Cebu. We will have soon a one of a kind marketplace where the customers can just use a cart and pick their favourite plants. We will also provide other materials for planting. We just launched our showroom in Alabang and recently finished one in Baguio.” - Boyet Ganigan

The showroom with landscaped showcasing the different varieties of local and imported plants is amazing with Administrator, Vrent Garcia touring around the guests discussing the origin, price and stories of the plants from local to rare and from Php 50 pesos to Php 2M per pot.

 

Under construction also is the soon to be Coffee shop in the area to cater the guests who just like to discuss their favourite plants and at the same time to just enjoy the scenery as if you’re inside the jungle with so much varieties to inspire all the plant lovers.

 

“I am in awe at Arid and Aroids because of the different varieties they are showing to the public. These are precious plants. Not only that, for me as a collector, I’m amazed with the selections. Also, it’s better to visit their branches, choose your fave and bring it home satisfied. Also, very affordable and lots to choose from. I love the landscaped showroom, you’re gonna have an idea on what to do also in your area. Artistic and innovative. Definitely all who will visit will have something after with happiness.”- Grace Bondad Nicolas



According to Boyet, what makes these premium plants exceptional is that, not only are they tended and locally propagated under them, but this is also the first time that they will be offered to the public. There are new different forms, shapes, and kinds of plant varieties that only the nursery locally propagates like a rare philodendron esmeraldense which you can find in the branches but most endangered you may see now in Silang, Cavite.

Magnificent Miracle for You and Me

 Dear Survivor,

Blissful marriage be yours now and forevermore


Do you remember this story of an ambivalent occasion, when you were with your eldest sister who you fondly call as “Mother Hen", a sparkling gem to all of her siblings?

Let your prayers be delivered


You were enroute to the wedding of your niece on February 22, 2020. She was one of the sponsors of the wedding. 

Lift up to HIM your burdens


You called it “ambivalent”  because weddings should be a celebration.

 

How bountiful are HIS blessings

But your eldest sister was carrying a heavy load in her heart due to the fact that one of her sons was in the hospital with a delicate sickness. 

Be at peace with HIS promises


Her son said to her, "Mama, I don't want to die."

The fragrance of HIS creations are like incense to the soul


At the church, your eldest sister was crying while sharing about the situation of your nephew with her friends. You tried to avoid seeing her cry.

HE will never forsake you


On your part, you would usually attend Sunday Service at PICC at "The Feast"  So, one Sunday, you went to the table where you could ask for a prayer request for the healing of your nephew. You approached the lady in charge of the prayer station. She asked you to write on a piece of paper your nephew's name and you told her the situation. 

Forever our gratefulness to HIM


She was really gifted in saying her prayer and during the entire conversation with the Almighty God, tears continuously poured from your eyes! Even as you recall that incident, tears still run from your eyes. After the prayer, you thanked her and went inside the Service Hall.  

How wonderful YOU are to everyone


And, you know, Viczi, today your dearest nephew has regained his health, and as a family you have always been in awe and grateful to a "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Almighty God!"



This story is an entry to ComCo Southeast Asia’s “Write to Ignite Blogging Project Season 2: Dear Survivor.” The initiative continues to respond to the need of our times, as every story comes a long way during this period of crisis. The initiative aims to pull and collate powerful stories from the Philippine blogging communities to inspire the nation to rise and move forward amidst the difficult situation. The “Write to Ignite Blogging Project” Season 2 is made possible by ComCo Southeast Asia, with Eastern Communications and Jobstreet as co-presenters, with AirAsia and Xiaomi as major sponsors, and with Teleperformance as sponsor.

Godel Chocolate: A Philippine Brand

 


Godel is a trademark of JCG Marketing Group, Inc. which is  located at KM 19 East Service Road, Brgy. San Martin de Porres Paranaque City,Philippines. I and fellow on line media had an invitation to tour in July 6, 2021 Godel Chocolate Factory thru Dr Ver Garcia (Phd) as members of Bloggers Association of the Philippines. Ms. Marie of Godel Chocolate and their staff welcomed us warmly upon arrival at the site. A brief orientation about safety and health protocol was conducted.


Head and shoe covers were handed out before ushering us to the main factory. Ascending the staircase the chocolate fragrance filled the air triggering a sweet feeling in me. Traditional Tsokolate made of Tablea was offered before beginning the proper tour. The tablea drink perks up the start of the viewing of the entire process of production of cacao bean to the finished choco bar.


South Cotabato Organic fermented cacao beans are manually sorted out to separate the good cacao that is to be used, then it passes through different equipment and technology such as roasting, cracking, winnowing in the feeding machine, refining, conching, colloid mill, nut butter grinder, refiner, ball mill melanger, tempering, dosing moulding, cooling in the chiller, retarder proofer, cooling tunnel, demoulding then finally to packing. Which by the way, all these line of equipment for chocolate makers from sorting to packaging are all available for sale at Godel Solutions.




After the very infomative, interesting and enjoyable viewing of  bean-to-Bar Chocolate production, comes the much awaited part of all, unboxing and tasting of the finished products of Godel Chocolate: 




Hot Chocolate Bomb with Marshmallows- pouring the hot water in the egg shaped choco emerges a handful of white marshmallows.

70% Chocolate Bar

50% Chocolate Bar

50% Chocolate Bar

Cacao Tea 

Salted Caramel Chocolate

Chocolate with whole almonds

Chocolate with coco jam filling-which to me is the "star" of the buffet choco tasting, it really pleasured my taste buds and healthy eating diet.





A Happy Chocolatey Day Everyone!
