First Time Parents Nico Bolzico and Solenn Heussaff are teaching Tili to love water

Solenn Heussaff

First-time Dad Nico Bolzico and first-time Mom Solenn Heussaff are teaching their one-year old daughter Tili, a very important health lesson this Father’s Day.

This is their second Father’s Day with Tili who may just grow up to be as active and as adventurous as her famous parents.

To keep her going, and to make sure she grows up healthy, they’re training her early to develop a water habit. Nico and Solenn both lead an active lifestyle and swear by water to keep themselves hydrated and detoxified.

Nico admits to being a water junkie who consumes about 5 liters of water a day, more than the average required amount of water per person per day.

“We can’t go without water. It flushes out waste from our bodies, regulates body temperature, helps brain function and gives us the energy we need throughout the day. What I do is drink 1 liter of water first thing every morning. And to make sure I don’t forget to drink, I always make sure to carry around a bottle of water all the time, even at home. Luckily Tili loooo-oves water, so I’m reminded to drink every time she does, confesses Solenn.

Nico Bolzico

Nico is very determined to get their baby daughter to develop a water drinking habit, right here, right now. “Introducing your babies to love water is most important,” he says. “They are in the most important stage of their life where they are growing, and sometimes what you give them can get them sick very fast. So you have to make sure that they drink water often. And if they don’t wanna drink, you need to force them a little bit to take enough water -- because it’s one of the most important aspects of their growth. It’s not about the juice, It’s about the water.”

Adults need to make hydration a habit as well, according to Nico. “When you hydrate, your skin looks better, you feel better and you know, your whole body works better. You have more energy. I do a lot of sports and I work out every day, so if I’m not hydrated, I don’t have the energy to work out. The healthiest thing we can do is drink water. Look, if you’re sick, if you have the flu, you drink water so you flush the toxins out,” Nico explains.

Both Nico and Solenn have a water regimen that helps them to stay fit and active. “I drink water first thing in the morning because my metabolism shoots up if I drink water before I eat anything. So basically, I cannot imagine anyone not drinking enough water because that has so many negative implications for health, the way you look, the way you feel, the way you sleep. At the end of the day, water is life,” says Nico.

“Just make sure you trust the source of your water,” adds Solenn. “Know where that water is coming from — and that you trust the people behind the brand. We chose Nature Spring because they offer quality drinking products that are safe and affordable.

For Father’s Day, Nico and Solenn share some good news from Nature’s Spring Water:

Canva’s Health and Well-being Lead Shares Quick Pointers for Busy Dads

Busy Dad

There is no one-size-fits all way to being a father, but most working dads want to do the best to support their loved ones. With all the pressure that comes with these responsibilities, dads also need to look after their own wellbeing too.

Donato Avellana is the Health and Wellbeing Lead for the Vibe Team at Canva Philippines, and as a father himself, he acknowledges the importance of work-life balance. He has helped build programs at Canva that empower employees to have a healthy work-life balance, with holistic programs for all domains of wellness. Taking his learnings from this, he shares some helpful and practical tips to help dads to develop healthy habits that can boost their happiness at work and at home.

1. Rest and recover well
Rest and relaxation is crucial to improve our overall health. Try your best to get at least 7 hours of sleep, go to bed an hour before you go to sleep, and stay away from your TV or mobile phone, as several studies show that the blue light from screens can disrupt sleep. Sleep is often a neglected component of overall well-being, but this is where the body repairs itself to get ready for another day. Remember that you deserve to rest.

2. Start your day with a cold shower
Showering can also offer more benefits than many realise. By using water that is a little cold, you can improve blood circulation, with the lower temperature causing blood to run to the skin’s surface. Good blood circulation plays an important role in our health for proper nutrient distribution throughout our body.
This is also a good time for dads to have their ‘me’ time. Breathing exercises are a great way to start the day, by offering the opportunity to regroup and reflect.

3. Move more, make it a habit
The health benefits of movement have been scientifically proven time and time again. Your body is connected to your brain and your movement habits can positively impact how you think and feel. Inactivity can make you feel sluggish and tired, making it hard to find motivation and deliver on responsibilities.
Add regular walks, stand often, or follow stretching routines that you can commit to during the day. Taking time for a short 10-15-minute walk is a great way to have a mental and physical break.

4. Eat smart: practice a mindful eating habit.
We have been educated about what healthy eating is since we were kids. Eating intuitively on a regular schedule is very important. Eating with no structure creates mindless eating that can lead to poor nutrition choices. Think of nourishing your body with healthy fuel for efficient performance instead of just eating. Eat a variety of whole foods, have fruits and vegetables, and hydrate smartly.

5. It's okay to ask for help
This shortlist might not be easy for everyone, so I encourage dads to seek help when they need it. You might want to start at home with your spouse, ask for help from co-workers, peers, fellow fathers, professionals such as your doctor.

Showing appreciation to your father
If you’re still looking for heart-felt gift ideas for your dad, you can browse through Canva for free design ideas and inspiration.
Make your dad, grandfather or any other special figure feel loved and appreciated by designing personalized cards. A wide variety of photos, customizable templates, and full-color professional layouts are available. You can also find Filipino templates by changing the language settings to Tagalog and searching for the word ‘tatay’.

1st Hakata Ikkousha Ultimate Ramen Champion


Last Father's Day Celebration Hakata Ikkousha had the Ramen Eating Contest meant for the super dads with happy appetite.

The competition was split into two batches, first batch started around 2:30pm and the 2nd batch on the later afternoon. Each batch is composed of 7 competitors each determined to finish the most number of Ikkousha’s God Fire Ramen (spicy ramen)bowls in 20mins.


The winner was concluded from the number of bowls finished and the weight left on their last bowl before proceeding to the ultimate Ramen Face off.

This was not the first time that I joined an eating contest and of course the challenge for me is not as easy as it sounds, although I really had a great time and a lot of fun in the process.

After those two batches Michael Zuñiga of Katooga.ph and Lord Ancheta of Hour Philippines TV went head on to Face off. In the end Lord Ancheta became the 1st Hakata Ikkousha’s Ultimate Ramen Champion bagging P5,000 cash and P10, 000 worth of dining gift certificates.

Ms. Marivic Tomoda, Owner is grateful to everyone for the support to the event especially to some media friends who covered the exciting contest.

A Day with Dad


He is a provider, a hero, and a friend all wrapped into one—he is dad. And there’s no better time to show our dads how much we appreciate them for being the pillar of the family than on a day specially dedicated to all the fathers out there.

Solane, the country’s leading LPG solutions provider, encourages us to express our love to our dads with the Dapat Lang advocacy campaign, where it emphasizes the importance of doing the right thing for the family, for others, and society as a whole.

Like everyone else, our dad also long for expressions of love, and we can do so through these simple deeds:

Plan an adventure-filled day outdoors. Make Father’s Day more interesting and bond with the family by planning an adventure-filled day with dad. Take a short hike, fly a kite, go fishing, take a road trip, set-up a picnic at the park, or have an outdoor barbecue. Without a doubt, it will be a very memorable celebration for all.

Cook his favorite food. Occasions such as Father’s Day mean malls will be jam-packed, and restaurants will have long waiting queues. Instead of spending the day at the mall, opt to celebrate at home by arranging a nice dining table set-up and cooking his favorite dishes. Adding your own touch through the dishes is another way of making this day even more special.

Have a game night. Have fun with games like charades or board games. As this day falls on a Sunday, it is the perfect opportunity to relax and spend time with loved ones.

Make a handmade gift. Who says you need to spend a lot of money to celebrate Father’s Day? A simple handmade greeting card, letter, or even putting together basic tools that he can use to repair things at home will definitely mean the world to dad.

These tips may be simple but they’re surefire ways to make dad feel special on Father’s Day. Dapat lang!
