What Pairs with Wings Better than Pizza?

When you are craving wings, Papa John's offers a variety of options. Try the buffalo wings with the traditional blue cheese or ranch dipping sauce, or branch out. Other popular options include BBQ, garlic parmesan, and honey chipotle. However, wings go much better when you pair them with pizza. Go simple with a classic pepperoni, or try one of the specialty pies. The fresh spinach and tomato alfredo and the garden fresh are perfect for vegetarians, while the works, BBQ chicken bacon, Philly cheesesteak, and zesty Italian trio are perfect for meat lovers. You can also create your own, starting with one of the many available crust options such as the traditional, thin crust, and gluten free.

Papa John's Still has the Best Stuffed Crust Pizza

Speaking of crust, when you are looking for stuffed crust pizza near me, look no further than Papa John's. Years ago, it introduced the epic stuffed crust, and it is still around because it is so popular. The crust is stuffed with cheese, so when the pizza is baked, the crust turns golden brown and the cheese melts to a gooey deliciousness. It is so good, in fact, that you will have trouble deciding if you should start with the pizza or the crust for maximum enjoyment. You can use the stuffed crust as a base for your own creation, or you can make it the base of one of the specialty pies. However you order it, you will not regret that you did.

Over 2,400 Teachers Certified to Provide Financial Education Lessons in Primary Schools

Pru Life UK, together with its community investment arm in Asia and Africa, Prudence Foundation, and Junior Achievement (JA) Philippines, have certified over 2,400 teachers to teach financial education under the 2022 Cha-Ching Curriculum Financial Accreditation (CCFA) program for the school year 2021-2022. 

Cha-Ching was introduced back in 2011 as an online, interactive platform to promote and teach children about the four money-smart concepts - Earn, Save, Spend and Donate. In 2016, Pru Life UK partnered with JA Philippines to have the Cha-Ching Curriculum, using the already successful Cha-Ching Money Smart Kids materials, integrated in the Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (Values Formation) subject of Grade 4 students, in coordination with the Department of Education (DepEd).

The objective is to provide an organized approach and structured lesson plans for teachers to ensure good learning outcomes for the students. It is also meant to adopt timely and proactive measures to intensify the integration of financial literacy in the K to 12 basic education system curriculum in the country.

In order to supplement the financial education curriculum implementation, the CCFA, an online assessment tool, was created. This tool is to accredit and recognize the hardworking teachers for their mastery in teaching the money-smart lessons of the Cha-Ching Curriculum.

“The idea of earning money, having to save, having to have a budget, having expenses, and understanding what are expenses versus savings - these are issues that affect all of us. By the age of seven (7), basic concepts related to financial behavior will have already been formulated or developed,” said Marc Fancy, Executive Director of Prudence Foundation.

“Our goal is to reach even more Filipino students and teachers in this continuing commitment for financial education and inclusion. It is our fervent hope that the Financial Education Policy will usher greater momentum for Cha-Ching to bring smiles to more Filipino children and their families, and help them get the most out of life,” shared Atty. Emeren Vallente, SVP and Chief Legal and Government Relations Officer of Pru Life UK, in her opening remarks during the virtual recognition program.

“We at JA are in the business of empowering young people and what better way to do this than recognizing outstanding teachers and outstanding teaching. The CCFA program has been developed to inspire excellence and to recognize these special educators that have made such a strong positive impact on financial literacy,” said Maziar Sabet, President and CEO of JA Asia Pacific.

As the highlight of the celebration, various top and special awards were handed over to Cha-Ching teachers and institutions who have shown exemplary commitment, dedication and brilliance in teaching Filipino youth the value of financial literacy. About 40 CCFA exam topnotchers from the Philippines were chosen to attend the first ever regionwide Cha-Ching Financial Literacy Conference, sponsored by the Prudence Foundation in partnership with JA Asia Pacific, held on February 18-19, 2022.

Going forward, Cha-Ching will continue in its drive to foster financially literate youth, alongside teachers and partners in the education sector, through ceaseless improvements and innovations, toward expanding its reach beyond the current 170,000 student beneficiaries this year.

Between the years 2016 to 2021, Cha-Ching was able to connect with close to 500,000 Filipino students. Additionally, just in 2021, Cha-Ching was able to garner 6,747 educators to teach the Cha-Ching Curriculum in participating schools in the Philippines, bringing the cumulative number to 11,910 teachers from 2016 to 2021.

4 Ways to Expand Your Knowledge.

Most of us go through several years of education when we’re younger. During these years, we learn about lots of different subjects and our knowledge expands rapidly.

However, after education, less is less focus on gaining new knowledge and more focus on retaining existing knowledge. We start working in a specific field and may remain in the same careers for years, practicing the same skills day in, day out.

Your younger years are, undoubtedly, the prime time for brain development and knowledge expansion. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t continue to learn more and increase your knowledge in adulthood.

Finding new ways to keep your brain ticking not only keeps you going in early adulthood but it’s also one of the best ways to prevent neurodegeneration in later life. Studies show that challenging yourself and engaging in mind-boosting activities can promote the development of new neural networks in your brain.

What’s even better is the fact that there are so many amazing ways to expand your knowledge on a daily basis. Here are four exciting and educational things that you can do to continue developing and expanding your knowledge.

Learn About Religion

You may not be religious yourself but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn about religion. In fact you might have plenty of questions on your mind that you want to answer out of curiosity, like what is the Message of Jesus Christ? Millions of people across the world follow one of the many religions and learning more about their beliefs can be a great way to connect with others on a deeper level.

The world of religion is complex but there are lots of effective ways to educate yourself about religious teachings and ancient beliefs. You could read about evidence of the book of Mormon or do your own research into the origins of certain religions.

Another great way to learn more about faith is to speak to others about their own beliefs and how religion affects their lives.

Read Every Day

Reading is one of the most effective and rewarding activities that you can do to increase your knowledge and stimulate your brain. It’s also an enjoyable and relaxing activity that you can do almost anywhere.

Find a collection of books that look intriguing to you. It can be any fiction or non-fiction option of any genre, whether it’s true crime, sci-fi, medical, or dystopian. There are literally millions of books available on the market so you won’t struggle to find something that captures and maintains your attention.

Most books are affordable but if you’re reading on a very limited budget, check out your local library or see if there are any book-swapping groups in your area.

Ask Questions

If you’ve ever observed a child as they explore a new environment or make sense of an unfamiliar situation, you’ll notice how they ask a lot of questions. They’re inquisitive and curious.

When you want to expand your knowledge, you must emulate this and become curious about the world around you. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and explore new things that are unfamiliar to you.

Ask those around you to expand on their points and be genuinely curious about what’s going on in their lives. People love talking about themselves and they enjoy sharing their own knowledge, so asking a few simple questions is all you’ll need for a great conversation. Practice your inquisition with the people you already know as well as those who you have only just met. The more people you interact with, the more questions you can ask, and the more knowledge you will gain.

Learn Something New

When you try a new activity or learn a new skill, you will naturally widen your knowledge. Not only this but you can boost the neural connections in your brain while also having fun.

The activities and skills that you choose to try out can be anything you like. You might want to pick up knitting or learn to play a new instrument. Maybe signing up for an online class or ongoing course appeals to you.

If you take an online class, you’ll be able to interact with lots of new people too. You can learn more about their lives and exchange interesting information with one another to expand your mind even further. Whatever you choose to do, the act of throwing yourself into something new might be exactly what you need to enhance your existing abilities.

You don’t need to become an expert in these activities. Simply covering the basics is enough for you to gain the amazing physical and mental benefits of learning something new.

Babangon Ka Sa Flu at Iba’t Ibang Sakit Ngayong Flu Season!

While the country has officially gone past the flu season—which usually takes place in the chilliest months of the year—one can never be too complacent. With summer fast approaching, we still have to watch out for symptoms associated with having the flu: sniffles, sneezes, headaches, and fevers, plus a few body aches here and there. And because the flu shares many symptoms with COVID-19, catching the former also means that the average Pinoy will have a little less peace of mind.

In short, flu symptoms aren’t just more common these days—they’re also a lot heavier to deal with.

That’s why it’s generally a good idea to get tested for COVID-19 in case one experiences flu symptoms. In the event that it’s confirmed to be COVID-19, one can start practicing the necessary isolation and treatment protocols.

On the other hand, if that cough turns out to be a symptom of the flu, it isn’t enough to stop at the negative COVID-19 results. Flu symptoms still need to be treated ASAP, as they may lead to more serious health complications.

When a cold or flu creates a blockage in the sinuses, for example, this can trap bacteria and viruses inside through the mucus. A bad enough infection can lead to sinusitis, which in turn causes severe headaches, fever, facial pain.

The fluid buildup from the flu can also cause bacteria or viruses to infect the space behind the eardrums, leading to a painful ear infection. In people with asthma, flu symptoms can trigger asthmatic attacks, or cause difficulty breathing among people without asthma. Flu symptoms could also make it more difficult to sleep. Studies have found that a lack of sleep can have a negative effect on the immune system, making someone more vulnerable to different illnesses.

Given how important it is to immediately treat flu symptoms, medication for these symptoms is a must- have during the country’s flu season. For many Filipinos, the ideal fix is to have a multi-benefit solution like Phenylephrine HCl Chlorphenamine Maleate Paracetamol (BIOFLU) at home.

Unlike other medications that address only one or two flu symptoms, Phenylephrine HCl Chlorphenamine Maleate Paracetamol (BIOFLU) is specially formulated to provide relief for all common flu symptoms. It helps relieve fever, colds, clogged noses, sneezing, headaches, body aches, joint pain, chills, sore throat, and cough due to post-nasal drip. It can also help reduce itching in the eyes and treat a runny nose.

Its formula was also created to treat the symptoms of other ailments like allergic rhinitis and sinusitis, making it a valuable multi-purpose medication for every household. At just PHP7.50 SRP per tablet, it’s also one of the most sulit solutions available to Pinoys. The medication provides relief for multiple illnesses and prevents complications from their symptoms at a cost cheaper than a cup of coffee.

And because a lot of the symptoms that it treats are also common side effects from COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, the medication has also proven to be helpful for people who need to get back to work soon after getting their shots.

With flu season in full swing and a pandemic still hitting Pinoys where it hurts, it’s always good to keep medication handy that can help people bounce back more easily from the symptoms. When it’s a multi- benefit solution, it’s more than just helpful—it’s sulit.
