Win tickets to Family and Finance 2017

I have always believed that proper financial management is very crucial in our daily lives. Whether we are single or married, it is important that we are financially responsible. Though money won't bring us genuine happiness, we should look after our financial well-being because of practical reasons. 

Family and Finance is a movement dedicated to educate and empower parents and individuals improve their financial well-being. Attendees will have to go through an extensive step-by-step process that begins with checking one’s financial health, discussing finances as a couple, setting goals as a family, kickstarting one’s investment journey and the truth about money. This event also aims to equip parents to teach their children about money because financial literacy starts at home. At the end of the conference, attendees will not just gain practical but also actionable steps that they can immediately apply to improve their own financial well-being.

Keynote speakers include Director of RFP and international speaker and best-selling author, Randell Tiongson; President of Homeschool Global and lead anchor of ANC’s “On the Money”, Edric Mendoza; Editor-in-Chief of Money Sense and Co-Founder of Learning Curve, Heinz Bulos; Director of Crown Financial Ministries, Joby Soriano and Director of Cards and Digital Payments, Personal Finance Coach, Sky Salanio. 

Aside from the main conference, Family and Finance is launching its first ever financial literacy program for Pre-K to 12 years old children. “PRO KIDS” is specially designed to develop children’s financial literacy through exciting games and fun-filled activities. It is indeed never too early to learn about money!

Family and Finance 2017 will be held on April 1, 2017, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM at CCF Center, Frontera Verde, Ortigas Avenue corner C5 Road, Pasig City. Avail of their early bird rate of P850 for single attendee and P1500 for couples until March 26, 2017.

Novuhair Salutes All Women

In celebration of International Women’s Month this March, Nutramedica Inc., encourages women to speak their mind and know their rights. Be it in society or otherwise, women have excelled over the years, creating a sense of socio-equality that every female across the globe shall be proud of.

This years’ theme is “Be bold for change”, a very subjective manner of approach to the present era where women are called to lead and influence. Novuhair calls for the same thrust.

Novuhair empowers the female population by improving their appearance thru self-help ideas on social media. Channeling their self-esteem and confidence to exude.

Nutramedica Inc. itself is being led by a formidable woman, Sheila Mae Velilla, CEO & President. Ms. Velilla built the company from scratch, exerting much effort in product development and exemplary business & marketing acumen.

Today it is known for its comprehensive range of oral and injectable pharmaceutical lines, food supplements and cosmetic products.

At present, Novuhair has been awarded by Watson’s as the leading Medicated Hair Care Brand in the country for five consecutive years. The effectiveness of the product speaks for itself.

Novuhair is made with 19 natural ingredients that include moringa oleifera, panax ginseng, virgin coconut oil and the natural essences of rosemary and peppermint and almost 100% natural.

Novuhair nourishes the scalp and hair by increasing the flow of nutrients and improving blood circulation to the scalp. Novuhair also helps hydrate the scalp, maintain the hair’s natural luster and prevent early hair graying hair dryness and itching. It also penetrates deep to rejuvenate the hair follicles, provides optimum nutrition to help combat hair loss and/or thinning of hair, improves blood circulation in the scalp which contributes to the stimulation of hair growth.
