SUN MADE BROWN RICE, one of the leading brown rice brands in the country, catering the growth health-conscious market produced and made by MANCOR. A proudly Filipino company based in Mindanao!

MANCOR short for Mindanao Agri-Network Corporation, was established in Davao City in 2001, in a four hectare post-harvest facility located in a 70 kilometers south of the city.

A partnership deal with WapatDC, a cycling group based in Mindanao, last July 30 at Hotel Vicente. In the line of SUN MADE advocacy to promote HEALTH, FITNESS and now to help BOOST Mindanao Tourism, as WapatDC explore Mindanao through biking.

SUN MADE is represented by Mr. Carlo Calma Lorenzana (middle) , the Vice-President of Mindanao Agri-Network Corp (MANCOR)
together with the WapatDC representative Mr. Reggie D. Reyes (right) and Mr. Mike Aportadera (left)

That is why they decided to add WapatDC under Sun Made's wing as their perfect partner in promoting health, fitness and tourism in events and other forms of pop-up promotions.

Sun Made as the only producers that deliver straight to your grocery after each milling - FRESHNESS GUARANTEED!

Offering the best quality rice as an excellent source of FIBER, VITAMINS & MINERALS, and powerhouse packed with ANTI-OXIDANTS. It has three significant rules, that is:

(1) LOWER RISK OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
(2) FIGHT OBESITY
(3) and HELP PREVENT TYPE 2 DIABETES

Moreover, as Sun Made Brown Rice falls high in the quality scale, as it is one of the few brands that's mill-to-table fresh, fair trade and most of all, reasonably priced.

I've made my own rice, but I did not cook it on a rice cooker. I cook it in a traditional Filipino way by using wood charcoal. And this is the result, it taste like oats for me!

Just follow this procedure:

Rinse rice thoroughly under running water and then remove any dirt or debris that you may find.
Soak rice in water for at least 30 mins.
Use two(2) cups of water for every one(1) cup of brown rice. In my case, I use wood charcoal, I added more half cup of water.
If a much soften rice is desired, just increase the amount of water and for a firmer cooked rice, decreased amount of water and cook for about 45 minutes.

Refrigerate uncooked and cooked leftover brown rice to retain freshness. Just microwave it if you want to eat again.

Sun Made Brown Rice began in Davao City, exactly in Gaisano, NCCC and Park 'N Shop Supermarkets. Now it has rapidly expanded to Metro Manila and please to see more outlets to come in delivering health and wellness tourism in different parts of the Philippines.

Here are the list of the existing supermarkets selling Sun Made Brown Rice:

Rustan's Makati
Rustan's San Antonio
Rustan's Rockwell
Shopwise Alabang
Shopwise Araneta
Shopwise Antipolo
Shopwise Libis
Shopwise Vito Cruz

Limitless is a project of JCI Manila wherein it help trains and educate people all around the Philippines, to become better and responsible citizen and spread positive change in each community. Read more here: JCI Manila

When JCI Duwaling President Yasmin Fabricante invite me to attend the training, without hesitation, I said "YES"! This will be the most powerful training/seminar I will be attending. Just looking at the assigned speakers Atty. Dino de Leon and Vincent Capistrano, both have strong knowledge regarding the topic assigned to them for discussion. At a young age they already acquired great skills and responsibility to become a good leader.

Atty. Dino de Leon is a 2012 DLSU World Debate Convener and a 2015 Philippine Bar Passer.
Vincent Capistrano an IT Manager at Infor and has a Master Degree of Business Administration(MBA) at University of the Philippines.

Went early morning and the JCI Duwaling members busy preparing for the registration.

Because I am new and this is my first time to attend a training with the JCI, I'll wait outside while they are still preparing for the training room.

All are given training string bags and ID's.

That day there is also an activity that sponsored by SMART and JCI Duwaling, the Philippine Post Office people was there to assist the processing of the application for the New Improved POSTAL ID Capturing Day.

As soon as the room was ready, I was notified by one of the JCI Daba-Daba members and to look for a table to sit down.

Speakers are busy preparing their programs.

I was welcomed by the two speakers, despite of their busy tasks and was introduce with the other JCI members and new members(like me!) who are already at the training room.

Thanks guys!

As soon as the room was made into quorum, VP Karla Singson lead the JCI prayer/creed. Followed by a brief message and introduction of the speakers from Ms. Yasmin, JCI Duwaling President.

The training is about how to develop and gain excellent communication skills both oral and written and the performance on understanding human behavior and psychology.

8 Modules:

Human Behavior
PRACTICAL COMMUNICATION
0 Degree NETWORKING
Level 5 Leadership
VISION SETTING
People Management
Branding
Gratitude

Well, I affirm that I am not a good speaker --- I talk slowly and don't use the best words or I have that PUBLIC SPEAKING FEAR (The Speech Anxiety). I don't have stage fright, I am just afraid to commit mistakes.

Building confidence. This is what I really need, confidence is not something that can be learned by setting rules and programs. Not a plan that we need to have a step-by-step procedures. That confidence is a mind stating - have a positive thinking, practice, be trained, acquire knowledge and be with people who have strong sense to work with and love to talk as well in order to improve and/or boost confidence level.

Anyway, I really have a great time to be part of JCI Duwaling LIMITLESS Training, aside from learning and gaining knowledge I also gain more friends!

And very honor to meet the JCI National President, Mr. Steve Allen Tycangco.

It's an honor to meet Mr. Steve Allen Tycangco, JCI National President, during the 3rd Area Council Meeting (Area V). 💋😘❤👊📝 #JCIArea5 #JCIDuwaling #JCIDavaoRegion #IamLimitless #education #trainingday

Davao City, Philippines - FitFlop™, the footwear brand loved by millions of women everywhere-is back with a new style to rock your world.

The ROLA™ is the star of the 2016 Autumn/Winter collection, launched last July 8, 2016 at Chimes Boutique in Felcris Centrale, SM City Davao. Coming in Black, Bronze, and Hot Cherry colors, these styles are exclusive to the department store’s branches in Felcris Centrale, Abreeza, and Governor Sales.

The exclusive media event, titled “Rock n’ ROLA,” was attended by guests coming in their best rock n’ roll-inspired attire (visit my post here). The ROLA’s three colors make any wearer stand out with edgy style. Four gorgeous, glossy balls decorate an uber-slim, foot-flattering toe-post, using rich leather uppers and ergonomic Microwobbleboard™ midsoles that help diffuse pressure with every step to provide maximum comfort.

The attendee with the best rock n’ roll-inspired outfit was awarded a free pair of ROLA™. Invitees were also divided into three groups and competed in an OOTD challenge, wherein each group dressed up a mannequin using Chimes Boutique apparel to complement the pair of ROLA™ assigned to them. The winning group was also awarded one free pair of ROLA™ per member.

FitFlop™ was created in 2006 with a mission to create the most comfortable footwear in the world. Founded in the UK by Marcia Kilgore, she collaborated with two biochemists and created the triple density Microwobbleboard™ midsole. Some iconic styles include the sporty-gorgeous WALKSTAR™, the Swarovski-studded ROCK CHIC™, and fan-favorite CHA CHA™. Now, the ROLA™ is the newest addition to the line of sandals loved by millions of women all over the world.

FitFlop™ believes that feet shouldn't get in the way of one's dreams; that life is too short to not choose great shoes, and that having the right ergonomics underfoot can totally make one's day. Every pair made is based on world-class biomechanics, because it's FitFlop's brand philosophy that it's cool to be comfortable. FitFlop™ is the footwear for the modern-day superwoman.
