Golden Grains PH marks its 36th year celebrating throughout the holidays!

To celebrate its 36th year, Golden Grains Philippines invited fellow October birthday celebrators to join in the fun and get a chance to snag their favorite rice variants for free. The same products that have made Golden Grains beloved through the years will be given away to 36 lucky October celebrators this month!

Lucky participants are set to receive their choice of Golden Grains’ well-patronized rice varieties namely, Super Angelica, Maharlika, Sinandomeng Special, Dinurado Aromatic Rice, Platinum Plus Whole Grain Rice, Thai Jasmine Rice, and Kanto Japanese Rice, as well as Golden Grains’ range of Healthy Alternative rice products - Organic Brown Rice, Organic Red Rice, and Organic Black Rice.

Golden Grains is a quality brand under REJ Commercial Corporation that was launched on October 1987 amidst political turmoil in the Philippines. It has emerged as a sturdy rice brand despite challenges through the years because of its consistently high-quality, homegrown rice products sourced directly from the major rice granaries of Mindoro, Nueva Ecija, and Isabela.

The brand is also one of the pioneers in the industry to introduce Organic Red and Organic Brown rice varieties into a market in need of a healthy alternative to white rice in 2004. In less than a year, it was already awarded by the Consumers’ League of the Philippines as the Most Outstanding Organic Rice Brand the following year. Golden Grains’ timely and consumer- driven decisions have truly turned into winning milestones definitely worth celebrating on its 36th year.

This 2023, Golden Grains has made a commitment to make its offers more exciting through its availability plans, month-on-month promotions, and consumer-centric strategy.

Golden Grains Availability

Golden Grains makes flexibility, freshness and your peace-of-mind a top priority whichever way you prefer - bringing home fresh, vacuum-sealed harvests or ordering online and receiving them right at your doorstep.

Golden Grains continuously makes its products available in renowned supermarkets like Waltermart, Robinsons, AllDay, Shopwise, South Supermarket, Metro Gaisano Supermarket, LCC Supermarket (Bicol), among others.

Golden Grains has also made itself fully present and available to its online consumer market via Lazada and Shopee forging further brand growth into the 21st century.

Month-on-Month Promotions

Double digit sales are one of the many exciting ways Golden Grains connect with its consumers. Each month, offers of free or discounted shipping costs and unbeatable deals have become a big attraction to its online followers.

Some exciting double day sales were the 8.8 August sale offered up to 80% off on shipping fees in both Golden Grains’ Official Shopee & Lazmall stores, and for 9.9 September, its Platinum Plus Whole Grain rice campaigned for a 99-Peso discount. 

Last 10.10 October, it offered a flash sale exclusive to the e-commerce platforms and will be giving away gifts of rice packs to lucky October Birthday Celebrators. Catch the announcement on Golden Grains’ Facebook and Instagram after today’s final day to enlist!

November and December are equally prize-packed as 11.11 gives away 36 premium rice dispensers and 12.12 starts early to complete the 12 Days of Giveaways with Golden Grains.

Consumer-centric Campaigns

Cooking rice and recipes best-paired-with-rice have become a strong bridge of communications where Golden Grains and its consumers delightfully engaged with each other. With countless recipes dished out, lots of tasty food fares prepared, and many rice stories shared, Golden Grains has captured the hearts of its consumers with ideas, tips, hacks or simply able to trigger some delicious cravings.

While different rice recipes require different types of rice, Golden Grains know that different people also like different varieties. This is why efforts of the brand have been more consumer- centric by letting participants, winners and stakeholders choose their preferred variant at every opportunity possible.

Each of us brings a different story on the ways we consume rice — there are the white rice loyalistas, the healthy rice advocates, and the controlled-rice consumers —But no matter your story, Golden Grains has the rice for you.

Boost Your Immune System With These Fruits and Veggies and Win Up To P2.5M from Pru Life UK!

Prepare the jackets, umbrellas, and vitamins—it’s the rainy season again! For some, this means hot meals and bed weather but for others, this requires taking additional precautions to avoid the flu.

With COVID-19 still looming in the country and stricter quarantine protocols being implemented, it remains important to do more to prevent one’s self from getting sick— even with just minor colds. This is why it’s important to consume the right food to help boost the immune system. While sometimes challenging, it can be made easier and gratifying with Pulse, the all-in-one AI-powered health and wellness app from leading life insurer Pru Life UK.

Pulse by Pru Life UK - a handy and helpful health and wellness app.

“With health being a top priority for all, Pru Life UK through the Pulse app, wants to be their customers’ partner in effectively monitoring their nutrition to help prevent any diseases especially this rainy season,” shares Allan Tumbaga, Pru Life UK SVP & Chief Customer Marketing Officer. “We at Pru Life UK want to help as many Filipinos as possible maintain optimal health, and instill this habit through our health management app.”

Some of Pulse’s features include Healthcheck, a comprehensive AI-driven health assessment tool that checks your medical and family history, lifestyle, nutrition, and mental health. It also has a Call-a-Dietician feature which offers unlimited chat access and a one-hour video call consultation with a licensed dietitian who can help address a user’s dietary concerns.

Through the Pulse Gold subscription, the app also has a Food Journal feature which allows users to upload a photo of their food and monitor their daily food intake to achieve a balanced diet. Some of the most nutritious fruits and vegetables that users upload as part of their meals are:

1. Oranges

High levels of flavonoids and vitamin C are present in citrus fruits which include oranges, lemons, and grapefruits. Vitamin C helps decrease inflammation, which is useful in fighting a fever. It’s better to enjoy these fruits raw since Vitamin C is heat sensitive and may be reduced when cooked. They also contain Quercetin, a specific flavonoid, which is helpful when treating rhinovirus infections that usually cause common colds.

2. Papaya

Aside from a substantial amount of Vitamin C, papaya contains papain, a digestive enzyme that has anti-inflammatory effects. This means that it is not only capable of protecting a body from viruses, but also of treating it. It also has fibers located by the bowels, allowing for better and more regular digestion. Lastly, papayas can be enjoyed raw, making them an easy treat.

Broccoli boosts immunity!

3. Broccoli

Broccoli is an example of a cruciferous vegetable that is proven to boost immunity. It contains sulforaphane, which neutralizes toxins and in turn, prevents them from turning into viruses. These can be activated by consuming it raw or steaming it for one to three minutes below 140˚C.

4. Spinach

Spinach contains Vitamin C and antioxidants like digestion-regulating fiber, which aid in the excretion of unwanted toxins in the body. Similar to broccoli, spinach can be best enjoyed with minimal to no cooking to ensure that its nutrients stay.

5. Asparagus

Asparagus contains Vitamin E, an antioxidant that strengthens your immune system by widening blood vessels and preventing clot formation. Cooking it with a little olive oil increases its effect since vitamin E is absorbed better if eaten with a little healthy fat.

Jo Jong Suk eats healthy.

6. Red Bell Peppers

Vitamin C is three times as present in bell peppers as they are in citrus fruits. It is also rich in beta-carotene which can reduce inflammation and boost immune functions by increasing disease-fighting cells in the body. It can be cooked and baked in multiple ways.

7. Ginger

Ginger contains anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties such as gingerol, which can help strengthen the immunity system. Not only does it help prevent flu-like illnesses, but it can also ease the feeling of flu and common colds for those who have them. Ginger can be incorporated into multiple meals and drinks, such as Indian cuisine and tea.

Using the Pulse app by completing activities and challenges, such as uploading photos of one’s meal, will give users raffle entries for a chance to win amazing prizes in Pru Life UK’s ongoing We DO Health and Wealth: 25th Anniversary Free Raffle Celebration. Participants can win gift certificates worth 2,500 pesos or iPhone 12 mini 64GB weekly. Meanwhile, one lucky winner will get the grand prize of 2.5 million pesos to be announced in the grand draw in September as Pru Life UK culminates their 25th year in the Philippines.

“Through our raffle celebration and the various offerings that users can access on Pulse app, we hope to contribute to the wellbeing of the Filipinos and encourage everyone to continue being mindful of their health,” adds Tumbaga.

Protect Your Homes with Cebuana Lhuillier's Protect Max!

Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance arm strengthens Fire Prevention call, mounts webinar with BFP 

The damage of getting your house razed by fire is insurmountable; fires at home can break out anytime and anywhere and can damage livelihood, household appliances and more. In 2018, the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) recorded a total of 14,316 incidents of fire from January until December.

This is why every March is Fire Prevention Month in the Philippines, and BFP’s campaign for this month is safety consciousness among our people every day of the year as a positive preventive approach to a problem that can be solved by more caution, vigilance, sobriety, exercise of common sense and respect for the law. It is a campaign that focuses on exercising vigilance at home and keeping oneself knowledgeable on the best way to protect your home and family from destruction brought about by fire.

March is Fire Prevention Month.
(Mask, 2015)

“Cebuana Lhuillier has always committed to be of help to the Filipinos at all times, and our call for Fire Prevention is a reflection of that, our insurance products that aims to keep our clients protected at all times is a complementary effort to our advocacy for this month.” said Jean Henri Lhuillier, President and CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier.

PJ Lhuillier’s insurance arm, the Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Brokers, Inc (CLIB), has also expressed its support for BFP’s campaign through the years. It has been a staunch advocate of having Filipinos insured, posting almost a 35% contribution to the total number of insured Filipinos through microinsurance.

CLIB has also worked together closely with the Insurance Commission in promoting microinsurance in the country; they have settled over more than 5,300 million claims worth over Php 500 million, and  they have serviced over 16,500 claimants. Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Brokers’, Inc. is also the first and only ISO-certified insurance broker in the Philippines.

Panalo sa Protect Max Promo!

Also launched this month in conjunction with the celebration of the Fire Prevention Month is a promo dubbed “Panalo ka sa ProtectMax” where clients of the ProtectMax product of CLIB get a chance to win Php 25,000. The promo is open to all clients who will purchase 5 ProtectMax COCs; these 5 COCs are equal to e-raffle entry. For the promo, 20 lucky raffle winners will be selected and will win Php 25,000.

“This Fire Prevention month, it is very important to drumbeat awareness on fire safety and prevention, and the importance of being protected. CLIB believes that an information and education drive is very important to ensure that everyone is well-informed against conflagration.” said Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Brokers’ Inc., Jonathan Batangan.

For clients who are interested to keep themselves protected without having to go to Cebuana Lhuillier’s more than 2,500 branches, they may purchase Home Insurance via the ProtectNow app or website. Just log on to protectnow.com to see CLIB’s full range of products online.
