Now that we are all in these times of fear, uncertainty and even reluctance over physically close with one another, we must also never run out of ways to either remain optimistic and hopeful, or simply maintain a sound mind and healthy outlook, add there the care we must do for ourselves and other people to help our and other people's health.

Online host and celebrity interviewer Izel Abanilla simply has this happy and healthy attitude when at work ----be on air, at premiere events, and media launches for her coverage.

Still young at 28, the UST Journalism major never thinks of herself to be better than anyone else. "It is better to feel always happy and see the job to be fun and enjoyable po, kase malamang na malamang may magandanf results eh. Ganon lamg talaga ako when we host Showbiz Live.

With the wonderful roster of stars she has already guested on the digital platform, Izel can swank sort of credentials her episodes are. From Ian Veneracion, Nathalie Hart to Ina Raymundo to yes, Yorme Isko Moreno. But the attractive host prefersvto move along and humbly says "there are so many other big stars pa na I want to guest. Effort lang with healthy mindset and positively hoping to successfully tap them".

In the case of herself being a digital host with an already increasing number of followers and likers, Izel slowly develops her owns style of interviewing to make the show and her unique in a way. "Id like to say my hosting style is very casual. I make my guests feel comfortable with me, I make them feel at home. I always see to it that I do not intimidate them so they can feel like they are conversing with a friend". But while she listens to their answers Izel never forgets her main points for interviews. "First off, I get to their personality. So I can adjust whether my way of talking as well as my line of questions follow through well. Second is the latest going-on in a certain celebrity's life. And third what I feel is what the people need/want to know about the subject na puro positive dapat kase dapat inspiration sila sa mga manonood sa online eh".

This brings us to why Izel is now gradually having a recall. Her healthy happy attitude is becoming her strength. "Basically po kase, it's the relaxed feel of the interview but still a no-holds-barred flow of questioning. We make sure people get what they want. While I make sure masaya at positive ang interview.

Like three other digital interviewers this correspondent knows...Rocky, Ted, Alexa and Josephine as they are known in the Blog universe, Izel is likewise this gem who we should always anticipate and watch online. 03/31/2020 (The Lifestyle Portal)

Noted for its fast-paced yet immediatley well-established characters in story-telling, puwdeng-puwede natin ma-validate why the currently hit afternoon-serye Love Thy Woman fast became a household name. In this season when the pandemic outbreak cautions our actions, the reasons are many!

It is a given that the serye has a casting coup. There is the undisputed Drama King Christopher de Leon, teleserye royalty Eula Valdez, to the screen pair of Kim Chiu and Xian Lim, add the juicy performances of Yam Concepcion and Sunshine Cruz. Love Thy Woman tells viewers who we are amd where we need to place ourselves when particular crisis usher us to our own self care.

At these times when we are prioritizing love for family and our well-being "Love Thy Woman is a story na timely. Napapanahon kase it's a story of love na pinagdaanan ng dalawang generasyon ng pamilya, love na "pinagdaanan" quote and quote," says director Jerry Lopez-Sineneng. "So love for family and love for your own well-being, ikaw bilang tao makikita mo ang kailangan mong gawin".

Another reason is timely. While we are all summoned by laws to keep ourselves safe, focus on priorities and make us think, even redefine the directions of our lifestyles, Love Thy Woman tells us how to protect ourselves when something threatening is to come or to outbreak. "Sa dami ng aabangan nating mga nakaka gulat na pangyayari, twists sa storya, the teleserye also tells us to look into our inner selves; from characters' dialogues, ano mga needs natin, ano yung mga iset aside muna, ano priorities muna," observes Direct Jerry.

Also while every scene that unfolds, Love Thy Woman also keeps us grounded. Being glued to the hit-serye and then being fed with updates from media during commercial gaps, we viewers will be prodded to prefer the confines of our homes, savour the company and bond of our loved ones. Quite a number of viewers had said when we speak with them as this is being written, "maganda po talaga yung storya kase andoon pa rin yung love for family kahit dami pong conflicts".

Conflicts. Indeed inevitable in life pero we can always avoid them if we know how to be safe physically, mentally and emotionally. Here is where we can say love thy family the way you also love the inspiring teleserye. 03/24/2020 (The Lifestyle Portal)

More than 140,000 new cancer cases and more than 80,000 cancer deaths are recorded in the Philippines every year, according to the 2018 Global Data on Cancer.

In light of these alarming numbers, AXA Philippines, one of the country’s leading insurance providers, is working with the Philippine Cancer Society (PCS) to increase cancer awareness and preparedness among Filipinos.

The partnership supports Republic Act (R.A.) 11215, National Integrated Cancer Control Act (NICCA), which aims to prevent cancer and improve cancer survivorship by increasing investments for programs to fight the ailment.

AXA president and chief executive officer Rahul Hora said, “At AXA, we want to help people live healthy lives and know that a better life is within their reach. We believe education is still the best approach to prevention. We are grateful to the Philippine Cancer Society for giving us the opportunity to be part of this program.”

PCS executive director Dr. Rachael Rosario pointed out, “The incidence of cancer in the country is growing at an alarming rate. It is important to educate everyone, most especially young people, that a healthy lifestyle is critical to cancer prevention. We need all the help we can get and we are thankful to have found a partner in AXA.”

Under the program, AXA Philippines will hold various initiatives that support cancer prevention by stressing the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Foremost of these is a heath campaign in schools to raise anti-tobacco awareness, plus lectures on obesity and the ill effects of sugar, and a fun poster-making contest for students. Free cervical cancer screening and clinical breast examination by PCS health care providers will be offered to adults in the schools.

Aside from the partnership with PCS, AXA also seeks to create awareness of and promote protection from this deadly disease through insurance products that offer coverage for critical illnesses.
