Cleene CLIO makes Clean Teeth possible for Families this World Oral Health Day 2022


Manila, Philippines - On World Oral Health Day, Cleene CLIO invites everyone to celebrate by practicing proper oral healthcare with their families.


A product of proudly Filipino company PHILUSA Corporation, Cleene CLIO has been an ardent supporter of this global oral health initiative, especially with oral care given less priority during the pandemic when accessibility to dentists and visits to oral health facilities were challenging at the height of the lockdowns.


To emphasize the importance of good oral health practices at home, Cleene CLIO has partnered with Manila Water Foundation and Philippine Dental Association to provide oral health kits to various barangays and schools as part of this year’s World Oral Health Day activities. Over 2,000 health kits containing Cleene CLIO toothbrushes and Dental Floss Premium from Cleene CLIO and PHILUSA were distributed to 12 barangays and to the chosen hygiene facility in Dinalaonan Elementary School in Pangasinan.



And as a special treat for World Oral Health Day, selected Cleene CLIO products will be sold at 20% off exclusively in Mercury Drug stores nationwide until April 15, 2022.


Cleene CLIO continues to be the partner of every Filipino family in promoting good oral hygiene by offering a wide range of affordable and quality toothbrushes.


Cleene CLIO toothbrushes are made with MicroFine Soft Bristles that help penetrate and clean hard to reach areas for better interdental cleaning and a gentle brushing experience. The tapered bristles penetrate between teeth and gums for thorough cleaning, while the rounded shape of the bristles remove plaque and prevent teeth and gum damage.

Testimony


Sad to say that during our pandemic times, we have limited access to basic health services such as that of dental care. When dental clinic were open, there might be extra fees such as that for PPE to wear and having to take an COVID test.



During a dental visit last year when the health protocols were strict, my regular dentist did not charge me extra for my PPE outfit. The procedures included that of teeth cleaning which became a more lenghty process than before the pandemic for even I did try to use those tiny interdental toothbrushes, I could not as those could not fit the tight gaps between my teeth.

It's a good thing that I recently discovered Cleene Clio which made my oral hygiene routine more efficienct. These toothbrushes are great cleaning tools that do the task of interdental cleaning when those small interdental brushes cannot. It is a great "tool" to use, as aside from the gentle brush that does not make my gums bleed, Cleene Clio for adults also has a tongue cleaner that gets rid of that white stuff (bad bacteria) on the tongue that causes bad breath. I am glad I use Cleene Clio as I was able to maintain the hard-to-obtain dental cleaning and am confident that me and my family use the right toothbrush that suits our needs.

Fatitude Comfort Food Restaurant Review


 


Fatitude has food with the altitude. 

You'll love to dine and hang out at Fatitude Comfort Food, an al fresco dining resto in Makati is nestled on the second floor of Arkipelago Food Park located at Bagtikan st., near Guijo, San Antonio Village. The area is relatively quiet, easily accessible, with a lot of available parking. 

Upon arriving, you'll take a quick walk past a few food park stalls to climb the stairs to get to the chill place that mbay accommodate up to 200 pax. The venue has a mixed rustic and warehouse style. At a corner is a stage with a sound system set up for a host or a musician. This event venue with long tables may be reserved in advance for gatherings like birthday parties, and it is not necessary to book the entire place. 


Served to us, the Wazzup Pilipinas vbloggers, along with our organizer, Wazzup Pilipinas owner, Ross del Rosario, among the several dishes, was a hefty large round glazed slab of meat marinated and cooked with herbs for hours called Porchetta. This meat with crispy sweet skin, is fantastic as with each bite has the richness of flavor from a slow-roast, and the subtle hints of Italian herbs. 





It is a delight to discover, as we indulged in the various dishes that the food of Fatitude was true to form, meets and goes beyond expectations. 

Fatitude menu include  Mexican dishes like Chimichanga, and Filipino food that are also ideal for consuming while drinking such as Sizzling Lechon Sisig.



Our pandemic days are nearly over. During this lull in the storm, we have to deal with stressors. Nothing beats a great meal when it comes to getting rid of that pandemic weariness and being able to dine in at a place like Fatitude.
