Join them on May 13, 2012 at Iloilo Society Commercial (ISC) Tagbak Branch for a day of a special celebration with your mom.

Exciting prizes and fun activities are lined up for you and your mom on Mother’s Day. There will be a photobooth, games for moms and kids, face painting, storytelling, P&G gift packs giveaways for moms and raffles for a chance to win a trip to London for the Olympics. An online photo contest on Facebook is also going on as part of the event.

Just present a minimum single-receipt purchase of P150 at ISC-Tagbak to enjoy these fun activities.

During the event, P&G will also be awarding a monetary support to Ruthell Moreno and her mother, Laurita Moreno for their exemplary achievements. Ruthell was stricken with a deadly systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) disease but graduated summa cum laude at West Visayas State University (WVSU) with a grade point average of 1.23. She finished a degree in Bachelor in Special Education, Major in Teaching Children with Mental Retardation.

Ruthell’s mom on the other hand is a recipient of the Most Outstanding Daycare Worker award in Antique.

The monetary support that P&G is extending to them will play a great role in realizing their dream of raising the foundation they started to help more lupus patients here in Panay.

The program starts at 2 PM on Sunday.

P&G products are locally distributed in Panay by the New Iloilo Supreme Marketing Inc. (NISMI).

Salamat ‘Nay is in line with P&G’s worldwide campaign “Thank You Mom”. For more details, logon to the Salamat ‘Nay page on Facebook.

Started in 1994, Porma Balas has became one of the longest running event held during summer along Villa Beach and a pioneer in such kind of event in the country.

This year’s edition is happening Sunday, April 29, 2012 in front of Breakthrough Seafood Restaurant in Villa. The gray beach sand along the shore of Villa is turned into a sculpting material and the beach, turned into a gallery of art masterpieces. Local artists and design enthusiasts gather to try their best in creating intricate carvings using only the sand.

Porma Balas aims to make sand sculpturing as an art and hobby among Ilonggos and promote as one of the tourism attractions during summer. It also aims to impart to the Ilonggos the importance of environmental protection most specifically preserving and protecting the once famous Villa shoreline.

A Flatsand Skim Competition and Skim Clinic will also be held simultaneously with Porma Balas 2012 in Villa.

Porma Balas is organized by the Rotaract Club of Iloilo City with the support of the Department of Tourism (DOT) Region VI, Rotary Club of Iloilo City, Breakthrough Restaurant and ABS-CBN TV10 Iloilo.
