Ms. Noemi Torres, Meralco, Pasig I was recently commissioned by a leading newspaper in Davao to do an arJcle on top ten youthening foods. Filipinos need not fret that the list I came up with comprises mostly of far out items from exoJc origin. MarkeJng and buzz hype a couple of the items in the list but you’ll be surprised to find that a lot can be found right in your neighbourhood market. I’ll share the full arJcle once published. Needless to say, go organic as much as you can! Lastly, we are very excited to update that the new Sugarleaf Express, a showcase of more things healthy is nearing compleJon and will be open midApril. This deserves a special eLeaf which will introduce our new partners in health and wellness. All the best! Angelo Narciso Songco Sugarleafer for markeJng and business development From the Sugarleafers As Sugarleaf embarks on its second year, let us give back by sharing a list of Jps and informaJon that helps you on your journey to beHer health. We reiterate that it need not be a struggle to eat healthy. The key is not to be too serious about it and have fun! We would like to thank our loyal customers for their kind and encouraging words which inspire us to work harder. Some of them are listed in this eLeaf. Sugarleaf’s “limitlist” Though we do not outright discourage people to completely do a 180⁰ and stop eaJng their favourite fare (who doesn’t love lechon and a Coke Zero?), we do have a list of “foods” that we recommend be limited. Here’s a lowdown of that list and the reason why: MSG & foods that contain excessive amounts of this potenJally neuro toxic substance Heavily processed & fasfood–high fat, sodium & virtually devoid of nutrients Refined white any thing from sugar, wheat, rice, bread. Go for higher fibre & nutrient brown less refined unbleached counterparts GMOs in food. Care for “frankenfood”? BoHomless drinks & allyoucaneat buffets. Need we explain? Yes to more fruit No to junkfood

The  EVA  Charity  FoundaJon  (www.evacf.org)  and  NaJonal  Commission  on  Indigenous  Peoples  (NCIP)  recently  held  a  visit  to  the  DAP  School  for  a  delegaJon  from  the  Embassy  of  Australia.    The  visit  to  Abucay,  Bataan  introduced  aboriginal  Australian  arJst,  Dewayne  EvereHsmith,  to  the  indigenous  people  (IP)  of  the  Philippines.        

The  delegaJon  was  cheerfully  welcomed  by  the  children  and  elders  of  the  community.  IP  leader  Rebecca  Reyes  introduced  the  students,  Aeta  community  and  their  culture  to  the  visitors.    

ArJst  Dewayne  and  his  backup  singers,  Jodi  Haines  and  Judith  Rein,  and  his  manager,  MarJne  Delaney  began  with  a  brief  talk  about  aboriginal  Australian  culture  followed  by  a  performance  of  Milaythina  Nika  Mana  Mapali  in  the  palawa  kani  aboriginal  language.    This  song  is  about  belonging  to  the  motherland  and  sharing  it  with  others.      

The  community  also  shared  their  culture  with  the  visitors  including  Sugarleaf’s  Angelo  N.  Songco  who’s  also  EVACF’s  public  relaJons  officer.    The  elders  sang  a  song  in  the  Aeta  Magbukon  language,  which  expressed  the  Aeta’s  love  for  their  visitors.        The  children,  dressed  in  tradiJonal  clothing,  then  gave  a  lively  performance  of  a  “Fish  Dance”,  mimicking  fish  swimming  down  the  river.  The  group  was  toured  around  the  school,  explaining  its  faciliJes  and  curriculum.    She  informed  them  of  their  development  achievements  and  challenges.
