“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.” - Neil Gaiman

Volunteer Breastmilk Donations for Babies affected by Typhoon Sendong
Under the Milk Code, government agencies cannot accept infant formula donations – from milk companies or individuals.
Infants in evacuation centers in areas hit by Sendong need breastmilk. If you’re in Metro Manila, here are some places you can donate breastmilk (info from Daphne Osena-Paez’s Twitter feed):
- Breastmilk Bank – 17 Green Grove Villa, Lantana Rd., Barangay Mariana, New Manila, QC (office of Kalusugan ng Mag-Ina, Inc)
- In Manila, drop off for breastmilk UP-PGH Human Milk Bank, 4th Floor, Left Central Block (LCB) c/o Tina or Grace or the NICU Fellow.
Freshly expressed breastmilk can last 3-4 months freezer. UP PGH Human Milk bank has a pasteurization machine so the milk can last longer. Breastmilk will be transported by UNICEF and its partners.

Typhoons Human Nature
I’ve been a user of hand sanitizers for such a long time, so I got bothered when I read about how some anti-bacterial ingredients, like Triclosan, can be bad. And then I was introduced to Human Nature by my mom. I began to research, and well, I am now a regular customer.
But it doesn’t just stop with the hand sanitizers. I also use their hand soap, their lip balm, facial wash, massage oil, and their foundation. I love that they only use natural ingredients, and they even have a lengthy explanation on what “natural” means. In their website, they also listed the bad chemicals that they’ve replaced with natural and organic ingredients.
What I love most about Human Nature is their philosophy with the three core principles of being PRO-POOR, PRO-PHILIPPINES, and PRO-ENVIRONMENT. They employ people from Gawad Kalinga communities , they only use natural ingredients, and as much as possible, all materials and ingredients come from the Philippines. Such an eco-ethical company!
Check out their online store! I highly recommend their hand sanitizers and hand soaps!
