PATAK ~ A Benefit Concert

Patrick Donald Teng had an amazing vision in life. He dreamt of becoming a neuro surgeon and took up medicine at the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health. Not known to his own family, he supported charities while attending college and at the same time, offered much of his time doing volunteer work for different organizations and one of them was Hearts at Play.

Patrick was also an active member of The Company of Ateneo Dancers and was President of the Ateneo Medicine Dance Group. He brought joy to a lot of children through dance and even encouraged many of his group members to offer their time to make these children happy.

Unfortunately, all his amazing efforts had to take a side step when diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme, a rare type of brain cancer, which ended his dream of being a doctor. Despite his condition, his contagious positive outlook in life remained and Patrick continued his volunteer work even while in a wheelchair. He bravely fought for his recovery, but sadly, time dictated that he had to leave everything behind to join our Creator – gone too soon at the age of 25.


But as they say, everything has a season and a reason. Patrick’s parents were devastated and thought it best to continue what their loving son has started. In May 2017, the Patrick Donald Teng Foundation was founded in memory of their beloved son.

PATAK represents how a single drop in the water can create ripples in the ocean. It is a force, much like Patrick was. The concert will introduce the foundation by showing Patrick’s life and struggle with brain cancer, the lives he has touched, sharings by his doctors, and dance performances by various groups – all with the end goal of continuing what Patrick has started.



PATAK, a Benefit Show for Patrick Donald Teng Foundation is happening this  October 21, at the Henry Lee Irwin Theater, Ateneo de Manila University at 6:00PM.

Lily's Peanut Butter in Lite Version

I grew up eating Lily's Peanut Butter so I'm happy that there's a lite version now for older people like me.  People are becoming more and more aware of the health value of the things they eat and drink. And by the looks of things, this emphasis on health is becoming more than just a simple fad; health consciousness is here to stay. Lily’s Peanut Butter, already 60 years in the industry, saw this rise in health consciousness, and has adapted accordingly through the peanut butter that has become a staple of many a Filipino household. After more than half a century of winning Filipino palates, Newborn Food Products Inc., the maker of Lily’s Peanut Butter, launched its newest product line, Lily’s Peanut Spread Lite, last August 14 at the Lily’s Lite in the City event, held at the Trinoma Activity Center, Quezon City. The whole-day event, hosted by athlete-turned-celebrity-host Gretchen Ho, actor-model CJ Reyes, and singer-model John Pol Dimaculanga...

33 and Taking it Easy

Kanina, before ko i-open itong account ko, ang daming random thoughts na naglalaro sa isip ko. Ngayon ito na, hindi ko na alam paano sisimulan isulat ang nilalaman ng isip at puso ko.  Umpisahan ko siguro sa disclaimer. Mahaba ito, so kung mainipin ka, busy ka (kasi may lakad ka. Char!), judgemental ka (char ulit!) tamang gusto lang mang-bash or simply gusto lang makitsismis kung ano na lagay ng buhay ko ngayon, click back nalang para exit ka na. Pero if meron kang same na pinagdadaanan as I am, or you just like me, super-friends tayo and you're geniunely concerned of what's going on in my life, then read on! Super nagpapasalamat ako sa lahat ng taong bumati at nakaalala sa birthday ko. Hindi ko na iisahin kasi ang dami! At nakakataba talaga ng puso. Kasi yun simpleng precious seconds ng buhay nyo, binigay ninyo sa akin para ipaalam saken na naalala nyo ako.   Para sa isang taong tulad ko na dumaraan sa tinatawag na mid-life or quarter-life crisis. Na parang...
