On July 3, an economic briefing, “Priming Up for the ASEAN Integration” will be held. The forum is aimed to prime us up on the impact and readiness of the people of Cagayan de Oro especially for affected institutions and industries.
The year 2015 is something many people are looking forward to with both fear and excitement. It is the year when members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) become a single bloc – the Asean Economic Community (AEC). The AEC is envisioned to be a region where goods, services, investments, skilled labor as well as capital may freely flow turning the community into an economic powerhouse of 600 million people and with a combined gross domestic product of close to $2trillion.” – excerpts from the article of Doris C. Dumlao, PDI May 28, 2014

Wellness is not only for the body but as well as for the soul. Every day, we must take care of our health and our inner self for this reflects our being. As we groom ourselves from the outside, eating healthy food and exercising for fitness, we also have to think positive thoughts, enjoy life, avoid stress and most of all pray, this is the most powerful tool for a happy and healthy life.
