Build your family an affordable but better home in Bellavita

Growing up in an extended family feels good but just like all of the things in the world, it also has its downside. I grew up in a house with my family, my grandma, grandpa, my cousins, my aunt and my uncle in law. Yes, we are an extended family. At a young age, my mother got pregnant with me. My father, which was then a college student at that time has no investment, yet. By the time I came into this world is the best time of their life but then, the problem is, where will my family live? My aunt, the breadwinner of their family, which has no established family by that time, offered my parents to live with her together with grandpa and grandma.

Yes, the extended family feels good. You always have your family together in one place but as to what I have experienced, you will never have your own space. That is why I worked hard to buy a house so that my own built family will never have to experience that, especially my children. 

Then, with just one click away at www.facebook.com/BellaVitaLandCorp, we have found an affordable house and lot where my family will surely create memories. The one that will surely fit me and my husband's lifestyle and income.

With Bellavita, you will never regret anything. From security to transportation accessibility, they got it here. And I am proud to say that investing in Bellavita will always be one of the best decisions my husband and I have ever made in our family.

#SpeakOutListenUp: Avon Philippines empowers women against gender-based violence

Violence against women

Gender-based violence (GBV) or violence against women and girls (VAWG), is a global pandemic that affects 1 in 3 women in their lifetime.

The numbers are staggering:

• 35% of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence.
• Globally, 7% of women have been sexually assaulted by someone other than a partner.
• Globally, as many as 38% of murders of women are committed by an intimate partner.
• 200 million women have experienced female genital mutilation/cutting.

Unfortunately, the Philippines is said to be one of the most dangerous places for women in Asia. Rape happens every 72 minutes, and at least 1 in 20 women aged  15 to 49 experienced sexual violence. Of all Filipinas who have been harassed, half of them took it and seemed to have accepted them as it is. It's such a grim that reality stories such as these are oftentimes ignored, ridiculed or discredited. 

An initiative by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in partnership with Avon Philippines shows 16 Days of Activism where for 16 days, orange has been chosen as a symbol of a brighter future where women won't fear violence in their own homes, streets or online. The said color shows solidarity with women all around the globe. Avon is going orange across its social media platforms starting November 25 (UN's International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) to December 10 (Human Right's Day).
