Budoy Touches My Heart

ABS-CBN has come up with a new TV series called BUDOY. I can say that this is one of the brilliant teleseryes made by one of the largest networks here in the Philippines.

This is about the journey of BUDOY which is played by Gerald Anderson, one of the brightest young stars of his generation, has made a remarkable portrayal with his role of being a special child. The story is actually about a husband and wife, played by Zsa Zsa Padilla and Tirso Cruz III, who desperately want to have a child but unfortunately, after doing so many fertility procedures, none of them has worked. The husband (Dr. Anton Maniego) who married his secretary (Luisa) decided to consider an IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) as a last option even though the procedure might be so risky for the child. Maniego family who are known for a well-respected family of doctors contradicts the idea because no one had taken the risk to do an IVF ever in the country’s history.


As a result, the little boy that Luisa has given birth to has a moderate mental disability. The story goes on when her mother-in-law gave the custody of the child to a person in a far away province without her knowledge to be able to protect the family’s good reputation.

Janice de Belen (Elena) took the responsibility in raising Budoy and treats him as her own. She did everything to give this little boy a decent life and fought for the trials that a special child is going through as he grows older.
Gerald Anderson gives full justice to the role as well as his mother in the story which is played by Janice de Belen who just recently joined ABS-CBN coming from her long time home network which is the GMA7.

Every scene with Budoy is heart-warming and heart-pounding especially to a mom of a special child like mine. It really touches my heart in a deepest way that I found myself shedding tears.
This teleserye tackles about the journey of a mother and child, their struggles with the discriminating eyes of the public, their hopes, their dreams and how they managed to carry on with every step down the rough roads of a person with mental disability.

I hope this will serve as an eye-opener to the public who doesn’t have the heart to understand and to accept the special creation of God called the Special Children.

ENERGEN: My Tummy's Best Friend

I’ve always had a history of hyper-acidity  (also known as acid dyspepsia) since high school. I don’t know when or how did I get it, all I know is just it’s screwing me for over a decade. I am a slow-gainer. I was very skinny back in my elementary days. My mom let me tried different kinds of vitamins but none of them took effect on me. My dad is an OFW back then and when he comes home he jokingly asks my mom if she’s still feeding her kids because me and my only brother look like bamboo sticks (that’s what our bullies called us because we’re thin and tall) even if we get to eat whatever we want. Maybe we have a fast metabolism which everybody envies about especially now that I have kids already, eating everything that I want and still not getting fat. I remember the times that I’ve been hospitalized because of hyper-acidity. The doctor will always come up to a theory that I might be skipping meals but honestly not. Then he’ll ask me if I drink a lot of soda or coff...

Discounts and Privileges for the Persons With Disability

It was only last year when I heard about the PWD card that would give the persons with disability (PWD) the privileges entitled for their needs. The local government amended the Republic Act No. 7277, an act for providing for the rehabilitation, self development, and self reliance of persons with disability and their integration into the mainstream of society and for other purposes and otherwise known as The Magna Carta for Disabled Persons, was passed in March 24, 1992. I am a proud mom of a six-year old child with special needs. He is my second child who was diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay Syndrome. Ever since he was a baby, we noticed some of his traits on lack of potential at certain points of development that made us confused about what to do so we consulted to a Developmental Pediatrician. He was born as an eight-month premature baby boy, sickly and always in the hospital for a long period of time. We're taking good care of him with unconditional love and...

What’s the Best Tasting Milk for Pregnant Women?

I just gave birth five months ago. When I was still pregnant, I was given the chance to try three different kinds of milk that is best suitable for pregnant women. Every time I visit my OB-Gynecologist, there was always a sample of milk especially made for pregnant women given by the promo representatives of each milk in the waiting area. I have tried at least three of them and I would like to give you my honest opinions regarding its taste because this kinds of milk are known to have unpleasant taste since it is loaded with vitamins and essential nutrients so it is tend to taste like medicine even if it is flavored.
