As we face more challenges brought about by our current situation, Filipinos have gone above themselves to become a hero to one another. This just goes to show that even in the darkest moments, we can continue to show our solidarity and togetherness. 

Through the little acts of bayanihan of Filipinos, Safeguard created the BayaniHands Project. “BayaniHands” focuses on the power of safe hands, and how they can become a force for good during these times.

The BayaniHands Project of the brand was launched through a heart-warming video featuring a cover of the Rico Blanco & Rivermaya classic, Liwanag sa Dilim, while showing real-life acts of bayanihan each and every Filipino does to be each other’s light in these trying times. The project was also created to show how much we appreciate all the efforts and sacrifices our frontliners have done for the people of our country.

Touched by this video, Filipino Rock Icon Rico Blanco, who composed Liwanag Sa Dilim, recorded and posted a special at-home performance of the song. This was his way of showing support for P&G Safeguard’s BayaniHands Project and uplifting our frontliners. “Bilang suporta sa BayaniHands Project, kung saan nag rraise sila ng funds para sa frontliners through the Philippine Red Cross, naisip ko gumawa rin ng quarantine version ng Liwanag sa Dilim. Pagbigay pugay ko rin sa mga ating mga modern day heroes,” said Rico.

As we continue to show how much we appreciate all the efforts and sacrifices our frontliners have done for the people of our country, we hope to encourage everyone to continue joining hands and be each other’s light amidst these trying times by contributing to the P&G Safeguard BayaniHands project. Every donation done through Lazada will be used to help in the frontliner efforts of the Philippine Red Cross.

McDonald’s Celebrates Discovering Mom’s Hidden Quirks in Latest Mother's Day Video

May 2020 - Philippines - Being locked up at home during this community quarantine may not be the most ideal of situations, but looking at the bright side, it has given us the opportunity to spend more time with our families. These moments together make us realize that there’s much more to discover about each other, especially our mothers.   


This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the quirky and unique things that set our mothers apart, as we get to know more about them over shared moments at home, and as we discover that there are always more reasons to love them.   

Na-lockdown tayo, Ma. McDonald’s Mother’s Day video this year opens our eyes to the often unseen side of our mothers, which many of us are getting to know with the almost 24-hour confinement brought about by the current situation. For many, it’s a pleasant surprise to realize the stark realization of our mothers leading their own lives—beyond what they do for the family. Now is the time to pay even closer attention to them, and to put in that extra effort of appreciating them for all that they do.   

“We sometimes forget that mothers also have other personal interests, hobbies, or roles aside from being ‘mom’. They can be gamers, tech experts, artists, movie buffs, Kdrama addicts— we don’t really know because how caught up we are on our own daily lives,” shares Ollie Rabatan, Marketing Head of McDonald’s Philippines. “Here at McDonald’s, we hope for families to bond even more, embracing every moment as an opportunity to appreciate our mothers - quirks and all.”

Moira Dela Torre with Downy Parfum launch new song “Yakap” to encourage Filipinos to #Spread100Hugs

To welcome the holidays, Moira Dela Torre released her first-ever original Christmas song entitled, Yakap, inspired by Downy Premium Parfum’s #Spread100Hugs campaign as it embodies that heartwarming Filipino Christmas spirit with its touching lyrics and enchanting melody.

“This song was a collaboration between me and my husband and it was inspired by how Christmas has always been my grandma’s favorite holiday. Ever since Jason came into my life, my songs have always been in collaboration with him. He came up with the chords, I came up with the melody, he came up with a few words and I finish it with a story. When we heard about Downy Parfum’s #Spread100Hugs, we both envisioned ‘Yakap’, and we wanted to create a Christmas OPM kundiman (love song) that captures the essence of giving hugs this Christmas,” said Moira Dela Torre.

Indeed, the power of a hug transcends time. As Moira shares, “This coming holiday season is going to be my third Christmas in 26 years that I won’t get to celebrate with my lola. Thankfully, the past 23 years I had with her was filled with meaningful hugs that will make up for a lifetime. She truly inspires me to continuously spread love. And with Downy Parfum, I am more confident to spread hugs as much as I can to my friends, family and most especially, my husband Jason.”

On the day of its release, Yakap has been streamed for more than a hundred thousand times and has been a part of the country’s top hits on Spotify! Undeniably, it is on its way to being an OPM classic that Filipinos just can’t help but fall in love and feel the warmth of the Christmas spirit with! Even celebrity parents like Saab Magalona, Chynna Ortaleza, Say Alonzo, Helga Krapf, Vanessa Matsunaga and Troy Montero can’t get over how much the song brings back so many good memories that excite them for the coming holidays they’re going to spend with their families and loved ones.

Yakap’s meaning really transcends through people of all ages and a lot can’t help but share their own rendition of the song — famous Youtube singers like Raphiel Shannon, Ry & Con, and Aiana Juarez each gave the song a really personal touch matched with their own distinct styles. This kundiman perfectly encapsulates the true meaning of Paskong Pinoy, a classic Filipino holiday.

Remember with Downy Premium Parfum

Downy Premium Parfum also launched a poignant short that follows the story of a girl named Anna and her lola, who was always by her side through life’s ups and downs. As the years go by, and Anna moves to a different home, her lola starts to become forgetful, and Anna is afraid that her lola might have forgotten about her. But as it turns out, the love and happiness brought by Anna’s hugs are forever etched in her lola’s heart. 

To anyone who lacks the confidence to share warm hugs with their loved ones, Downy Premium Parfum’s long-lasting perfume freshness provides that much-needed assurance that will last up to a hundred hugs. Each hug is not just a gesture of kinship, but also a moment to create a special memory made more meaningful by the fresh and refreshing scent that only Downy Premium Parfum evokes.


To get into the holiday spirit, watch “Remember” that captures the power of a hug which transcends the test of time. Afterwards, make sure to listen to “Yakap” that will surely uplift you at anytime. Yakap’s music video is up now too at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xlyDd5nggA!

This Christmas, make sure to #Spread100Hugs with Downy Premium Parfum. For more updates, you may visit https://www.facebook.com/DownyPhilippines/.
