A couple of months ago, while having my hair cut at Pin Antonio’s Salon de Manila on Tomas Morato, I was  introduced to a petite fair-skinned lady whose name was Cherry. After she left, Pin said, "You know Jacs, she’s blind and she makes soap." I looked at the brochure and was amazed at how beautiful these soaps were.

Nothing important was ever accomplished without chutzpah.  One must have chutzpah to achieve.  One must have spunk. One must have laughter.  One must have laughter so that obstacles will not seem so formidable to overcome.  One must gurgle heartily when one laughs – at least three times a day for well-being.  And if you can get other people to join you in laughter, then, you will be doing yourself a lot of good.

"The special offers are only a come-on. The products are fake since they do not actually clean," SDAP said, while adding that fake soaps and shampoos may even result in the unwanted darkening of the skin due to the chemicals used.

                    [Summary] => 
Nothing important was ever accomplished without chutzpah.  One must have chutzpah to achieve.  One must have spunk. One must have laughter.  One must have laughter so that obstacles will not seem so formidable to overcome.  One must gurgle heartily when one laughs – at least three times a day for well-being.  And if you can get other people to join you in laughter, then, you will be doing yourself a lot of good.

                    [Summary] => The Detergents Association of the Philippines (SDAP) has sought the help of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in curbing the entry of fake bath soaps and shampoos in the country.


Members of SDAP claimed fake shampoos and soaps are imported, repacked as local brands and sold door-to-door at cheaper prices.


"The special offers are only a come-on. The products are fake since they do not actually clean," SDAP said, while adding that fake soaps and shampoos may even result in the unwanted darkening of the skin due to the chemicals used.
