Climate Change Commission and Nestlé PH announce Klimathon Champions
Three teams emerged as winners in the recently concluded “Klimathon: Our Race Towards A Net Zero Reality,” a joint initiative of the Climate Change Commission (CCC) and Nestlé Philippines that provided a platform for the youth to develop innovative and sustainability-based solutions addressing the impacts of climate change.
Climate Change Commission and Nestlé PH announce Klimathon Champions
The Klimathon grand finals ceremony was held virtually on April 22, 2022 with the top ten finalists presenting their project concepts to the judges chaired by Dr. Maria Angela Zafra of the National Panel of Technical Experts of CCC, with members Ms. Adona Princesa San Diego of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR); Ms. Laarni Piloton of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST); Ms. Antoinette Taus, UNEP Goodwill Ambassador and founder of CORA Philippines; and Ms. Jasmine Estacio, Innovation Portfolio Management Head of Nestlé Philippines.
The proposals were judged based on their relevance to climate action, innovativeness, community impact, and sustainability.
Klimathon Champions
Team Econique from
the Ateneo De Naga University bagged the third place for their entry, “PH Green
Energy Harvesting Using Modified Triboelectric Nanogenerator (M-TENG),” while
Team Genoplas from The Mabini Academy placed second for their proposal,
“GENOPLAS: A Revolutionary Sustainable Multifunctional Bioplastics from
Upcycled Fish Waste Components.”
Team Neutralizer from the University of Mindanao emerged as the first-ever Klimathon Champions with their project concept, “Synthesis of Engineered Bamboo Nanocomposite Through Sol-Gel Technique: A Breakthrough in Automated Vertical Farming using Hydroponics in the Philippines.
“We are really honored to become the first-ever Klimathon Champions. All our hard work over the past six months to hone and improve our proposal has been worth it. We would like to thank CCC and Nestlé Philippines for believing in what the youth can do for the environment; for giving us the opportunity to showcase our ideas and learn first-hand from industry experts through the mentorship program,” said Jeremiah Malalis and Larry Competente from Team Neutralizer
The top three winning
teams received cash prizes that they can use as seed money to further develop
and/or implement their project concepts. Special awards were also given to
teams that developed embodying and promoting gender empowerment, originality,
and community participation:
- Team
Genoplas - Gender Empowerment
- Team
Econique - Originality
- Team
Tagubtub - Community Participation
“As we commemorate Earth Day, let us continue to invest more in our youth, in our communities, and in our creativity and intellect as a nation towards sustainability and resiliency. This is the only way to go in order for us to secure a better future for our nation,” said Secretary Robert E.A. Borje, Vice-Chairperson and Executive Director of CCC.
Youth as inheritors of the planet
During the program, House Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda expressed her support for the Filipino youth and what they are doing for the environment through a special message.
“It is encouraging to see young people already very heavily involved in climate action, all the more because you are doing this in the face of immense challenges and uncertainties because of the pandemic. You are an inspiration to us all,” Deputy Speaker Legarda said. “The next few years ahead will be critical in securing a livable future for humanity. To do so, we will need to stimulate and scale up innovation. The youth of the world are going to be key partners in this endeavor.”
The youth
participants committed to use their capabilities toward net-zero greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions through the Klimathon Pledge led by Ms. Antoinette Taus.
In his closing
remarks, Nestlé Philippines Chairman and CEO Kais Marzouki emphasized the
importance of initiatives like the Klimathon in keeping with the inclusive
approach of empowering the youth and consumers to take action.
“Through Klimathon, we are privileged to be able to work with the youth in particular, providing a platform for developing science-based solutions to climate change,” he said. “To our youth participants, you are among the most passionate and creative members of society, and you can make a difference. It is for you to apply the knowledge and insights that you have gained, to be the changemakers that the world needs today.”
In order to achieve
its goal of net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, Nestlé Philippines continues to engage
in partnerships with like-minded stakeholders and work with different sectors
in the country.

Five Simple Tricks to Create Legendary Lashes
Five Simple Tricks to Create Legendary LashesWhen it comes to lashes, you don’t have to compromise
So if you’re wondering how
you can up your allure for the next date night, lock everyone’s attention
during presentations, or simply bring the focus on your eyes while wearing a
face mask – here are foolproof ways you can create lashes that stand out in
terms of both length and volume, no falsies needed.
1. Curl your lashes first, girl
Some ladies, especially
those on-the-go, might skip this step before applying mascara to instantly up
their lash game. However, a simple preparation will give you that extra edge.
The secret? Curling your
lashes for about ten seconds. This gives it enough time to be bent to a more
ideal shape while also respecting how delicate lashes actually are – once is
enough! After that, you can apply a lash primer or a clear mascara which helps
lengthen the lashes and reduce clumps. Let it stay and dry before applying the
regular mascara.
2. Avoid the clumps
Being at home for a while
gave us fewer chances to need lashes with extra oomph. This might have affected
the mascara formula, which when applied could result to clumpiness.
Set your mascara back to
its original consistency by warming the tube (with the cap tightly secured, of
course!) in a glass of hot water for a couple of minutes. When taking out the
wand, don’t dip; twirl it instead to evenly distribute the formula onto the
brush. Still got some excess? Wipe the brush on a clean tissue before applying
it on your lashes for an even spread.
3. Start at the root and wiggle your way up
For mascara newbies, it
might make sense to apply the product right at the tip but that’s actually one
of the beauty no-no’s.
Start by wiggling the brush
at the base of your lashes, and then start pulling up while maintaining that
wiggling motion to keep the lashes separate from each other and create that
desired illusion of full lashes. A flick of the wrist upward as you reach the
end also extends the curl.
4. Take time to layer your lashes
Aside from the clear
mascara or primer mentioned earlier, a quick and easy way to add layers is by applying
translucent powder in between coats of mascara, which will help the product
cling to your lashes and make them thicker as you go. You could also mix and
match other variants like waterproof mascara to make sure they’re protected
from the elements.
5. When it comes to your lashes - size matters
You’re already making a huge effort to make your lashes stand out, so
keep everything on fleek by using Avon’s new and exclusive Legendary
Lengths Mascara.
|
Avon Legendary Lengths Mascara
"Why choose between length and volume when you can have both?”, says social media sensation Mimiyuuuh, who refuses to settle when it comes to her look and the beauty products that she uses. With the help of Avon Legendary Lengths Mascara, Mimi turns heads with volumized and longer lashes that are just to die for, without having to compromise one for the other.

Bagong Araw, Bagong Awra with Silka!
Bagong Araw, Bagong Awra with Silka!
That
feeling of being cooped up. We all had it, and not one of us liked it. We were
kinda deprived all this time; of the great outdoors, of the sun, of having the
freedom to just step out and bask in the glow of friendships, family, the
world!
After all,
we remember how going out was just so easy. Bathe, pamper your skin with Silka,
choose your OOTD, then your rampa-ready self -steps out to paint the town and
soak up life!
Until… the
pandemic. We had no choice but to press pause on our lives.
We’ve been
stuck at home for so long. Ang daming bawal! Meds and food runs were the only
things allowed. School was virtual. WFH was the norm. Since we stayed in, we
kinda let things go – correction, we let ourselves go, as we haven’t been
feeling or looking our best. Haggard is a word that comes to mind – and woah,
who wants that, right?
But now, things are looking up! The malls, the beaches, the schools, and offices are open, the world is ready again for us! But! how ready will you be for the world?
