Also recently, there have been prevalent issues on change in children’s interests and behaviors brought by fast-changing technological environment.

 "I am very proud to be part of Alaska Corp. for 20 years. In the football program, we have 2 major activities that we're supporting through Alaska. During the summer month, we have the Alaska Power Camp. We have 4 camps in Manila (Alabang, Army Ascom Football Field, Turf Field at BGC (morning & afternoon). Through the assistance of Ms. Fernando, we started 3 years ago a program to go to the province and we started in Luzon, we have in Baguio, Tarlac, Pagsanjan, Pangasinan for the requirement of ages of 6 - 16 tears old and the last day is a tournament and play competition. They win awards, medals, & trophies & basically we make kids happy. We have in November 6,000 kids in a 3-day affair. So again, thank Alaska for supporting sports and football. Football will grow and in few years maybe it will become competitive. There will be National League, professionals in this country. Something for the kids to look forward to. We will continue to support Alaska," said Tomas Lozano.

"I really had this passion for coaching and teaching all throughout even in college. When i started coaching young kids, I really became so passionate about it, because with kids you really see their progress, transformation & eagerness in their eyes whenever they want to learn or they do something correctly. For me, that has been my source of satisfaction. Seeing them at the end of the camp really improving, stepping-up & seeing them the following really improved a lot. That has been my goal as acoach to see them improve. It has been really great so far. I really want to pursue coaching and playing as well. i know I can do both as of now and it's not that hard, but coaching for me is really close to my heart," said Michele Gumabao,

PhilCare upholds importance of preventive health, launches Unlimited Medical & Dental Consultation cards Manila, Philippines/ 24 November 2015 – Filipinos tend to think only about their health when they are sick and more often than not, have a strong tendency to self-medicate during times of illness. These and other surprising health truths were uncovered in 2014 when PhilCare commissioned the PhilCare Wellness Index where more than 1,200 Filipinos nationwide were asked about their views on health and their well-being. The first of its kind in the Philippines, the study provided PhilCare with an in-depth look on how Filipinos approach health and wellness. In spite the fact that 59% of Filipinos have access to doctors, majority – or 74 percent—still choose to self medicate than consult a doctor.
