Lactum 3+ Pays Tribute this Mother's Day #SalamatSaAlaga

     “A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.” —Cardinal Mermillod. It goes without saying that being a mother is no easy feat, especially so amid the ongoing pandemic. There are many strong women - from medical professionals and pharmacists to policewomen, and government and volunteer workers - who have been called to duty to serve the needs of their countrymen in these trying times. 

     Honoring their heroic heart for the nation, Lactum 3+ and 6+ releases a Mother’s Day campaign video that pays tribute to mom frontliners as they continue the fight against the health crisis and share their healing care that is felt at home to every Filipino in need.

Lactum 3+ Pays Tribute this Mother's Day #SalamatSaAlaga

     “Alaga” is a heartwarming video directed by filmmaker Pepe Diokno told in a perspective of a child and showcases gratitude to the endless love and selfless sacrifice of moms. A campaign film that features footages shot by real moms showing viewers through moments shared with kids with a poignant narration that recognizes how mothers display their touch of alaga even in difficult times. 

     Lea Sarmiento, Senior Product Manager for Lactum narrated that when situations are tough and things get scary, we always run to our moms and rely on them to be at their best. That is why this Mother’s Day, we want to say thank you to the mothers who show panalo parenting even in these times as they devote their time and health to help the nation, all while caring for their kids away from home.

Mom Frontliners Featured are:

1. Kristine Frances Bustamante, a nurse in Camarines Sur who shares how the lockdown has limited her time spent with her kids. She says, “My usual work finishes before lunchtime so I can eat together with my kids. But since lockdown, I had to stay in my work area to avoid the risk of exposure to my kids. When I get home, no hugs or no kisses for a while.” 

2. Aures Queen Trecho, a bank teller, shares how she is responding to her duty to serve. “Currently, my daughter is being taken care of by my cousin because I am a single mom. I am aware that during this time of crisis, I still need to work and at the same time, take necessary precautions to not get so I can continue my duties.”

     Sarmiento adds, “We recognize the fight that these mom frontliners are bravely going through for their children, their family, and the nation. At Lactum 3+6+ and the entire Mead Johnson Philippines family along with our Reckitt Benckiser colleagues around the world, we are fighting alongside them as we continuously provide readily-available access to highest quality hygiene, wellness, and nourishment in cities and provinces so families will be safe and assured in these tough times.”

     In support of families affected by the pandemic, a P50 donation will be made for every Lactum 3+ and 6+ purchased online. Happy Mother's Day to all!!!
