Nuts About Health at Lily’s Peanut Spread Lite Launch

People are becoming more and more aware of the health value of the things they eat and drink. And by the looks of things, this emphasis on health is becoming more than just a simple fad; health consciousness is here to stay.

Lily’s Peanut Butter, already 60 years in the industry, saw this rise in health consciousness, and has adapted accordingly through the peanut butter that has become a staple of many a Filipino household.






After more than half a century of winning Filipino palates, Newborn Food Products Inc., the maker of Lily’s Peanut Butter, launched its newest product line, Lily’s Peanut Spread Lite, last August 14 at the Lily’s Lite in the City event, held at the Trinoma Activity Center, Quezon City.

The whole-day event, hosted by athlete-turned-celebrity-host Gretchen Ho, actor-model CJ Reyes, and singer-model John Pol Dimaculangan, will feature a variety of fun activities showcasing the health and wellness-oriented direction of the Lily’s brand with the release of this latest product.


Zumba sessions, demonstrations on healthy cooking, game booths, a special performance by Pilipinas’ Got Talent finalists, the Power Impact Dancers, and many more are available to the public, add to that special raffle prizes and high-score awards for people who purchased Lily’s products at the venue.

 Lily’s Peanut Spread Lite is the first locally-produced lite peanut butter in the market. This peanut spread is made from real peanuts and stevia extract, without any of the added sugars or chemical ingredients included in many low-fat peanut butter alternatives on the market.

Stevia extract, which is extracted from the leaves of the Stevia Rebaudiana plant, contains naturally-occurring glycosides, which give the substance a distinct sweetness, despite having no sugar content.

This makes it ideal for today’s health-conscious eaters—from weight-watchers and people trying out low-glycemic diets to people suffering from ailments such as diabetes and hypertension—as it delivers the same creamy sweetness that has made Lily’s a favorite, without compromising consumers’ health. Taste and health don’t have to be exclusive of each other; healthy doesn’t need to be boring.

With this latest product line, Lily’s engaged itself to be an advocate of promoting healthy snacks, an advocacy that will continue to manifest in the company’s future projects and events.

As proudly stated by Arch. Ramon Pua, President/CEO of Newborn Food Products, Inc., which carries the Lily’s brand:“We don’t just aim for profit – we share heart! Lily’s Lang Talaga!”

Panasonic 4k Pro Viera Tv

I only write on this blog if the event is about toys, TOYCON, books, comics and gadget. Upon the convincing power of my wife, Joy of Occasions of Joy,  I attended Panasonic event at Marriot Hotel, as Panasonic unveiled its expanded 2016 line up of 4K UHD LED TVs, in striving to understand and to meet the markets’ demands and to deliver a cutting-edge 4K UHD TV range with larger screen sizes and premium design. 

Well, the event was well worth my time as I got to talk to Coach Nic Belasco and be introduced to Sue Danielson and Rovilson Fernandez.


With Panasonic Brand Slogan's “A Better Life, A Better World” , the latest generation of Panasonic’s 4K Pro TVs are shaping the future of television with innovations in 4K UHD and High Dynamic Range (HDR) technologies. For example, the top flagship DX900 reaffirms Panasonic’s commitment to bring the ultimate cinematic experience to the home. Not only is it Panasonic’s first ‘Ultra HD Premium’ certified TV, the DX900 also features a brand-new super accurate Studio Master HCX+ chipset and a new LCD panel which delivers outstanding 4K UHD picture quality just as Hollywood directors intended. The new line-up also delivers HDR performance further down the range, with DX700, both capable of handling High Dynamic Range video.


Complementing the 4K Pro feature, Panasonic 4K TV are powered by the newest version of Firefox OS (2.5). It allows consumers to access the smart features every day. It is graphically rich, intuitive interface that makes it quick and easy for consumers to track down their favorite content with ease. 

Along with improved Smart TV features, the look of the 2016 line-up takes inspiration from interior design, with premium materials designed to adapt various lifestyles and elegant frames and pedestals 

The 4K PRO Panasonic TV with Hexa Chroma Drive which will display images with superb brightness, deeper black & subtle gradation, and stunning colors that makes no colors left behind that will provide a different and interesting experience to every customers.
Panasonic introduces this year 14 new models: 2 flagship models, namely TH-65DX900S and TH-65DX700S with additional 3 4K models; TH-55DX650S, TH-49DX650S and TH-49DX400S; 3 Smart LED TV and 6 High Definition LED TVs. 

Key features of Panasonic TV:

1. Picture Quality - 4K PRO Ultra HD with Hexa Chroma Drive Pro

Breathtakingly picture quality flows directly to the screen of  Panasonic TV. Brightness and colour contrast combine with 6 Colour Reproduction (RGB + CMY Colour Management) bring pictures that are so lifelike and there’s no colours left behind. The application of professional 3D Colour Management Systems make it possible to set colour space in extremely fine brightness steps for accurate color expression. Panasonic collaborates with a Hollywood Colourist, Mike Sowa, and International Filmmakers, Jon Cielo to ensure that our picture quality is true to the filmmaker’s vision and bring it into your living room.

2. Smart Feature - Firefox OS 

Panasonic Smart TV has been powered by Firefox OS that allows you to access the smart features every day. It is graphically rich, intuitive interface that makes it quick and easy for you to track down your favorite content with ease. Incorporating my Home Screen 2.0, content in the platform is divided into easily navigable ‘decks’. There are three default decks – the Live TV deck, the Apps deck and the Devices deck - and you can also personalize your home screen by pinning your favourite content and apps to it. Firefox OS also offers improved connectivity due to the use of open Web standards and greater flexibility for developers through Web Application Programming Interface (Web API) that enable connected experiences across different platforms
