Moo-ve over Cow's Milk because it's gonna be MEEEEh!!! - The Reasons Why Goat Milk is the Healthier Option.

Goat Milk is said to be the healthier option because it is more natural, easier to digest, and has fewer allergenic components than cow's milk. And also suitable for kids with sensitive tummies. 

DG know that Goat Milk is closer to human milk than Cow Milk? It's because, like humans, Goats produce their milk through Apocrine Secretion, where milk fat and bioactive components in mammary secretory cells are enveloped by cell membranes as they are secreted. As a result, milk produced by goats has naturally occurring bioactive components.

DG know that Goat Milk has fewer allergenic components than Cow Milk? This allergenic component is called. β-Lactoglobulin. It is the whey protein that stimulates milk protein allergies. Compared with milk from other animals, Goat Milk has lower levels of β-Lactoglobulin; thus making it less allergenic.

DG know that Goat Milk is easily digested versus Cow's Milk?  Casein protein found in milk produces curds in our stomachs.  Goat Milk produces a very loose curd structure with a high proportion of water that is easily broken apart, this results in easier digestion of milk proteins vs. Cow's milk.

Excited much for the coming holidays this year because finally, we can have gatherings and family reunions na ulit! But being a mom with 3 kids, kailangan malupit pa din tayo sa germs and viruses, and have you ever wonder na kahit anong linis mo may certain smell pa din na di mawala-wala? Well, that problem was solved, Kaya naman I'm happy to share these tips as I show you this special kit I got from Solbac!

Solbac's 3-in-1 action kills 99.9% of common germs and viruses, can eliminate unpleasant odors, and instantly freshens the air inside your home. 

Solbac offers a wide range of cost-effective solution products to maintain a healthy and germ-free household. 

How to defend your home from germs, viruses, and odor problems? #DisinfectAndDefendWithSolbac 

Mommy Aci's Tip No. 1 Use Disinfectant Spray with Nice Scents. Not all disinfectant sprays give out a pleasant scent after use. Some may be too strong, and some give a weak scent that makes you spray again and again. Kaya, you gotta make sure to choose products na super worth it. Lavender scents are one of my favorite scents. It has a soothing and calming effect on me and my fam. That's why I always have lavender candles, soaps, perfumes, and even the Solbac Disinfectant Spray in Lavender Mist, 

Mommy Aci Tip No.2 Don't be afraid to try on something new, like New Scents. Solbac keeps introducing new products, and look what we have here! New disinfectant scents in Citrus and Greens! Being a fan of everything that smells nice, I tried it right away and this was good too!

Solbac Disinfectant Spray Citrus and Greens

Mommy Aci's Tip No.3 Go Extra on your Toilet Part 1. Use Solbac Toilet Bowl Foam Cleaner. This is an aerosol foam toilet cleaner that provides anti-bacterial protection. The powerful foam lifts away grime and effectively removes stains and dirt It is also a disinfectant that is highly active against a wide range of germs. Since the product is in aerosol format, you can expect little to no leaks of the product while in use, as opposed to liquid toilet cleaners.

Mommy Aci's Tip No. 4 Go Extra on your Toilet Part 2!  Yes, Oh Yes!!! After linisin ng bongga ang inyong mga CR I'm sure nilalagyan nyo pa yan ng mga deodorizer to keep it smelling nice and clean. But here's another way to solve and even prevent that stinky problem sa comfort room by using Solbac Toilet Drops.

Noong una nga di ko alam san ko ba ipapatak :P Kidding aside, I think this is meant for the water spot of our toilet bowls. I put 2 drops and was amazed na may naamoy akong mabango. And I realized bagay to sa maarte like me na duda much to use sa mga public comfort rooms. Kasi sa cutesy size nitong Solbac Toilet Drop you can bring this with you + disinfecting wipes, Solbac's new product for extra peace of mind when using restrooms when you go out, right? 

Mommy Aci Tip No.5 Use Disinfecting Wipes.

Then my shoes, and bags, upon entering our home, and also disinfect our groceries once I arrange them on our cabinets.

Do you segregate your garbage? Does your family practice waste segregation at home? Waste segregation is a must, this should start at home and let your kids participate too! 

How We Segregate Our Waste at Home and Letting My Kids Learn More About It with Miming and Friends

Yes, start them young, this is our duty as parents to educate our children about the proper way of garbage disposal. That there are things in our trash that can be recycled, reused, or don't need to be included in the trash collected by the garbage trucks. 

Based on reports by WWF-Philippines, the National Solid Waste Management Commission , and the World Bank, 74% of plastic leakage comes from waste that has been collected. Inconsistent collection and recycling facilities mean that packaging and all other kinds of waste often end up in landfills, communities, or oceans – whether the materials are technically recyclable or not.

Because we know that waste collected from every household will end up in landfills and if we didn't segregate, items that can be recycled will just sit there and add to the pile that may take forever before it decompose (and maybe never) and sadly, some of these garbage ends up in the sea! Yes, to the sea!!! 

How We Segregate Our Waste at Home and Letting My Kids Learn More About It with Miming and Friends

Watch our video (link here: https://youtu.be/olmDTbY5ycU) and see how easy waste segregation can be. My daughters, Ricci and Chloe were in too. and with this effort, we were able to help even in our own little way to the environment. 

The first episode of Miming and Friends supported by Mondelēz International was released on World Oceans Day on June 8, 2022 and is the first in a series of five.  It talks about the importance of segregating waste at home, to ensure they don’t end up in the ocean. -read more about it here

Aci Girl here at Angat Rainforest & Ecological Park View Deck

Understanding The Waterworks at Maynilad + An Underrated Beauty Secret, Leaked!

Mommy Bloggers Philippines in collaboration with Maynilad went for a road trip/familiarization tour going to Maynilad La Mesa Water Treatment Plants, to understand the waterworks et' al. We are also up for some "dam-hopping" activity that started from Angat Dam, going down to Ipo Dam, and La Mesa Dam.

Angat Rainforest & Ecological Park

Angat Rainforest & Ecological Park View Deck

MBP x Maynilad | The View of Angat Dam & Norzagaray River from Angat Rainforest and Ecological Park View Deck

Angat Dam | Angat Hydropower Corporation

Did You Know that The Angat Dam, is a Multi-Purpose Dam?

1. Angat Dam is managed by the Angat Hydropower Corporation (AHC)
2. And is being used to Generate Electrical Power.
3. For Irrigation through The National Irrigation Authority (NIA) 
4. Serves as Reservoir for Flood Control
5. For Domestic Water Supply through the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS)

From Angat Dam, raw water flows down to the much-smaller Ipo Dam and eventually, to the Novaliches Portal where the water is divided between the two private water concessionaires of the MWSS which were Manila Water for the East Zone concession and Maynilad for the West Zone concession. Maynilad gets a 60% share because of its bigger customer base. While the two concessionaires share the raw water supply coming from Angat and Ipo Dams, only Manila Water gets raw water from La Mesa Dam.

MBP x Maynilad | Ipo Dam

Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) is the water and wastewater services provider for the West Zone of the Greater Metro Manila area. Servicing and covering a total area of 540 square kilometers, Maynilad is the largest water concessionaire (customer base) in the Philippines. 

Maynilad is Managed by DMCI-MPIC Water Company, Inc. owned and operated by Metro Pacific Investments Corporation and DMCI Holdings Inc. and Marubeni Corp. The MPIC-DMCI consortium took control of Maynilad on January 24, 2007.

Maynilad Operates and Maintains the following: 

• 4 water treatment plants 
• 22 wastewater plants
• 36 pumping stations
• 32 reservoirs
• 28 in-line boosters
• 3,137 kilometers of water pipelines have been laid since 2007.
• 7,713 kilometers in Total 

*As of December 2019

Steps for the Raw Water from Angat Dam to be Potable Water at our Homes

• Raw Water from Angat Dam
• To Ipo Dam
• To Bicti Basins
• To La Mesa Water Portals
• To Treatment Plant 1 & 2
• To the Reservoir
• To the Mini Boosters & Pumping  Stations
• To our Houses

MBP x Maynilad | La Mesa Water Treatment Plant

Maynilad is an agent and contractor of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System for the West Zone of the Greater Manila Area. Composed of the Cities of:

1. Caloocan
2. Pasay
3. Parañaque
4. Las Piñas
5. Muntinlupa
6. Valenzuela
7. Navotas
8. Malabon. 

Certain areas of:

1. Manila, 
2. Quezon City
3. Makati

Also servicing Cavite provinces:  

1. Cavite City
2. Bacoor
3. Imus

And the towns of:

1. Kawit
2. Noveleta
3. Rosario

*As of December 2019

According to the experts that I was able to ask during this trip at Maynilad: It just takes 4-6 hours for the Raw Water treated from Angat Dam, down to La Mesa Water Treatment Plant. And from La Mesa Water Plant, Reservoirs, Mini Boosters and Pumping Stations, at least 2 more hours for it to reach our homes. And that's how Maynilad delivers potable water.

Eh, Bakit wala pa ding tubig?

Relax, we asked them "Anyare?" Bakit may rotational water interruption?  Bakit may mga lugar pa din na halos walang tubig? Hanggang Kailan ang rotational water interruption? At sino ang may sala? char! Learn more about this and more below. May this help you understand why a water interruption is happening? What to expect? and What we can do about it?

Mr. Rolando Padua Head of Water Supply Operations | Maynilad

How do daily rotational water service interruptions work?

• Why rotational water interruption happen? In the event that Maynilad is given less than its usual allocation of raw water, it is set to maximize the limited supply by rotating it to the different areas within its concession. This is to ensure that all customers will have an opportunity to store water for their daily needs. 

• Why do the schedule of the rotational service interruptions differ among the affected areas? The duration of service interruptions per area depends on the hydraulic configuration of the pipelines. This means that some areas will experience longer or shorter service interruptions owing to their location. Areas that are low in elevation, are near Maynilad’s reservoirs and pumping stations, and are conduits to reach fringe areas will naturally have shorter service interruptions. 

• What are the other Certain factors that cause a delay in the water supply resumption? These include the volume of withdrawal from the pipelines as customers start getting water, the topography of an area, for example, are the low-lying areas, they feel the supply resumption earlier than those in highly elevated areas. And also, the actual raw water supply that enters Maynilad’s treatment plants for the day *lower volume received means less water for distribution.

• Is water discoloration normal after a rotational water service interruptions?  The discoloration is a natural consequence of service interruptions, as the returning flow of water tends to scrape the mineral deposits from the internal lining of pipes. Customers are advised to let the water flow out until the supply clears. If discoloration persists, they are encouraged to report it to Maynilad for further investigation.

• Why you should NOT hoard water? The Simultaneous withdrawal of water from the pipelines affects water pressure that further delays the resumption of water service to other areas. That's why Maynilad strongly advises its customers to just store enough water that they will need for the duration of a service interruption. Drawing too much water after service resumption will not only prevent the supply from reaching highly elevated and fringe areas, it may also cause the hoarder’s water bill to spike.

When will the daily rotational water service interruptions end?

The National Water Resources Board (NWRB) is the government agency responsible for determining the allocation of raw water supply from Angat Dam for MWSS and NIA. The normal allocation for MWSS is 48 cubic meters per second (cms). This supply is shared among residents of Metro Manila and the nearby provinces of Cavite, Rizal, and Bulacan.

The implementation of daily rotational service interruptions will be in effect for as long as the raw water allocation given to Maynilad from Angat Dam is below its requirement. Per NWRB, The Reduced Allocations will remain in effect until June 2020. Continuous monitoring of Angat and Ipo Dams are being done to check if the water levels improve enough to raise the allocation.

Mommy Bloggers Philippines x Maynilad | at Angat Dam

 

What can Maynilad Customers do to help lessen the impact of reduced raw water allocation?

Aside from praying for more rain, let's be pretty specific kay Lord na sana ay sa Angat dam lahat bumuhos, let's also do our share to conserve water. And also, store just enough amount of water for our daily needs. Please don't hoard water most especially if mas blessed tayo at nagreresume ang water service the next day. Because in some areas, sad to say na halos wala talaga silang natatanggap na tubig, dahil nakuha or naubos na ang water allocation ng lahat ng customers na mas nauunana or mas mababang elevation sa service line before them. 

If every one of 15 million Filipinos saves four liters of water a day, we can collectively save 60 million liters per day, NWRB. 

Such water savings can really go a long way. And as for Angat Dam, let's hope and pray for the best and may it recover and zap right back to the normal level and sana din Lord, may pa-increase sa water allocation after June 2020.

MBP x Maynilad

Alam nyo din ba na Safe for drinking ang water quality coming from Maynilad? 

Yes, it's true! There's no need to buy mineral o distilled water, or even having the need to filter pa the water coming out from your faucets. Because the industry experts reassure the public that the water from Maynilad is clean, reliable and safe for drinking. The Water from Maynilad is Potable.

How Does Maynilad do its Waterworks?

The raw water from Angat Dam goes through a Multi-Stage Treatment Process:

1. Screening: Raw water passes through screens preventing foreign objects to go in.
2. Rapid Mixing: Adding chemicals to the raw water will turn tiny solid materials into clusters.
3. Pre-Chlorination: Chlorine may also be added.
4. Flocculation: Mixing raw water gently as fine particulates clump up together and form a "floc" 
5. Sedimentation: The Floc particles and other suspended solids in the water will settle at the bottom of the basin.
6. Filtration: Water from the sedimentation basins will be filtered through dual-media filters.
7. Post Treatment: Adding of Chlorine and Lime. 

• Chlorine is for disinfection
• Lime is to correct the pH or acidity levels of the water.  
• This prevents corrosion of pipes in the distribution system.

Alam nyo ba ang underrated na sagot sa tanong na: "What's your beauty secret? 

This is a frequently asked question sa Magaganda...

Chill guys! kasi so far, mangilan-ngilan pa lang naman ang naglakas loob na magtanong saken nito. hahaha Ehem! simpre hindi ako makasagot. This FAQ is meant for someone who has noticeably clearer,  healthier, and beautiful skin.  But on a serious note, Isa din ako sa naghahanap ng kasagutan. I research online, watch interviews, and even consulted a number of dermatologists, And the resounding answer from the experts, and the beautiful people of the Philippines, and also the world...

Always boils down to "Drinking Plenty of Water." 

True enough that drinking lots of water can really do the works at malaki talaga ang ikagaganda if you drink up at least 2 liters of water per day.

Ang mga sumusunod ay ilan lamang sa magandang epekto ng pag-inom ng tubig: 

• Prevents Dry Mouth and Promotes Healthy Looking Lips.

Ayun naman pala... Alam na mga beshie ah!? 😏

Di naman pala ako panget... Dehydrated lang 🤣

And because of that, let's make it a habit to hydrate properly and regularly. Because I do believe that being beautiful starts from within. Kaya naman let's start drinking the right amount of water, and make it at least 2.5 liters of water a day. Or try the 8X8 scheme which is to consume 8 glasses of 8 ounces water, daily. 

If you were like me na di gaano malakas uminom ng tubig: I'm following these steps para mas mapainom ako ng tubig. Also don't forget to measure your water intake via bottles, pitchers, or even gallons. And keep in mind to take at least 2 liters of water.

1. Drink Warm Water Pag Gising
2. Drink Chilled Water especially when outdoors.
3. Skip Softdrinks.
4. Get into Infused Water
5. Drink Before, During and After Meal.
6. Whenever you feel a headache coming in, Drink
7. Whenever you feel like being hungry, Drink
8. Take your vitamins, supplements or medicine in different batches. And yes with water pa din.
9. Drink before and after your workout.
10. Drink before going to bed.

Extra: Pag feeling ko di pa ako umabot sa quota ko sa pag inom ng tubig, I eat polvoron, timpla ng juice, or nag-a-akayat baba ako sa hagdan. Train yourself, di lang naman for the outer beauty ang effect nito but also sa overall health ng isang tao. 

Let the drinking session (of water) begin!

Thank You MBP and Maynilad for inviting me to this FamTour. I learned so much on this trip and my curiosity was satisfied. It was an amazing experience seeing Angat Dam, Ipo Dam and the La Mesa Water Treatment Plant. Also, an enlightening escapade that made me understand how the water treatment system works.

I hope you guys learned something too. And the next time you open your faucets, I hope you appreciate it more, don't waste it, put it to good use, and recycle if you can.

So with that, allow me to end this blog post with this insight:

Walang taong panget! baka lang sila ay Dehydrated. :)

Understanding The Waterworks at Maynilad + An Underrated Beauty Secret, Leaked!

Mommy Bloggers Philippines in collaboration with Maynilad went for a road trip/familiarization tour going to Maynilad La Mesa Water Treatment Plants, to understand the waterworks et' al. We are also up for some "dam-hopping" activity that started from Angat Dam, going down to Ipo Dam, and La Mesa Dam.

Angat Rainforest & Ecological Park

Angat Dam | Angat Hydropower Corporation

Did You Know that The Angat Dam, is a Multi-Purpose Dam?

1. Angat Dam is managed by the Angat Hydropower Corporation (AHC)
2. And is being used to Generate Electrical Power.
3. For Irrigation through The National Irrigation Authority (NIA) 
4. Serves as Reservoir for Flood Control
5. For Domestic Water Supply through the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS)

From Angat Dam, raw water flows down to the much-smaller Ipo Dam and eventually, to the Novaliches Portal where the water is divided between the two private water concessionaires of the MWSS which were Manila Water for the East Zone concession and Maynilad for the West Zone concession. Maynilad gets a 60% share because of its bigger customer base. While the two concessionaires share the raw water supply coming from Angat and Ipo Dams, only Manila Water gets raw water from La Mesa Dam.

According to the experts that I was able to ask during this trip at Maynilad: It just takes 4-6 hours for the Raw Water treated from Angat Dam, down to La Mesa Water Treatment Plant. And from La Mesa Water Plant, Reservoirs, Mini Boosters and Pumping Stations, at least 2 more hours for it to reach our homes. And that's how Maynilad delivers potable water.

Eh, Bakit wala pa ding tubig?

Relax, we asked them "Anyare?" Bakit may rotational water interruption?  Bakit may mga lugar pa din na halos walang tubig? Hanggang Kailan ang rotational water interruption? At sino ang may sala? char! Learn more about this and more below. May this help you understand why a water interruption is happening? What to expect? and What we can do about it?

Mr. Rolando Padua Head of Water Supply Operations | Maynilad

How do daily rotational water service interruptions work?

• Why rotational water interruption happen? In the event that Maynilad is given less than its usual allocation of raw water, it is set to maximize the limited supply by rotating it to the different areas within its concession. This is to ensure that all customers will have an opportunity to store water for their daily needs. 

• Why do the schedule of the rotational service interruptions differ among the affected areas? The duration of service interruptions per area depends on the hydraulic configuration of the pipelines. This means that some areas will experience longer or shorter service interruptions owing to their location. Areas that are low in elevation, are near Maynilad’s reservoirs and pumping stations, and are conduits to reach fringe areas will naturally have shorter service interruptions. 

• What are the other Certain factors that cause a delay in the water supply resumption? These include the volume of withdrawal from the pipelines as customers start getting water, the topography of an area, for example, are the low-lying areas, they feel the supply resumption earlier than those in highly elevated areas. And also, the actual raw water supply that enters Maynilad’s treatment plants for the day *lower volume received means less water for distribution.

• Is water discoloration normal after a rotational water service interruptions?  The discoloration is a natural consequence of service interruptions, as the returning flow of water tends to scrape the mineral deposits from the internal lining of pipes. Customers are advised to let the water flow out until the supply clears. If discoloration persists, they are encouraged to report it to Maynilad for further investigation.

• Why you should NOT hoard water? The Simultaneous withdrawal of water from the pipelines affects water pressure that further delays the resumption of water service to other areas. That's why Maynilad strongly advises its customers to just store enough water that they will need for the duration of a service interruption. Drawing too much water after service resumption will not only prevent the supply from reaching highly elevated and fringe areas, it may also cause the hoarder’s water bill to spike.

When will the daily rotational water service interruptions end?

The National Water Resources Board (NWRB) is the government agency responsible for determining the allocation of raw water supply from Angat Dam for MWSS and NIA. The normal allocation for MWSS is 48 cubic meters per second (cms). This supply is shared among residents of Metro Manila and the nearby provinces of Cavite, Rizal, and Bulacan.

The implementation of daily rotational service interruptions will be in effect for as long as the raw water allocation given to Maynilad from Angat Dam is below its requirement. Per NWRB, The Reduced Allocations will remain in effect until June 2020. Continuous monitoring of Angat and Ipo Dams are being done to check if the water levels improve enough to raise the allocation.

What can Maynilad Customers do to help lessen the impact of reduced raw water allocation?

Aside from praying for more rain, let's be pretty specific kay Lord na sana ay sa Angat dam lahat bumuhos, let's also do our share to conserve water. And also, store just enough amount of water for our daily needs. Please don't hoard water most especially if mas blessed tayo at nagreresume ang water service the next day. Because in some areas, sad to say na halos wala talaga silang natatanggap na tubig, dahil nakuha or naubos na ang water allocation ng lahat ng customers na mas nauunana or mas mababang elevation sa service line before them. 

If every one of 15 million Filipinos saves four liters of water a day, we can collectively save 60 million liters per day, NWRB. 

Such water savings can really go a long way. And as for Angat Dam, let's hope and pray for the best and may it recover and zap right back to the normal level and sana din Lord, may pa-increase sa water allocation after June 2020.
