Defensil Isopropyl Alcohol teams up with Philippine Society for Microbiology for Hygiene Education Campaign

Defensil Isopropyl Alcohol has teamed up with the Philippine Society of Microbiology (PSM) for a health and hygiene campaign to help families stay safe in the new normal.

With the continuous rise of covid-19 cases in the Philippines, Filipinos need to stay vigilant when it comes to sanitation and germ protection. Defensil has partnered with PSM to form the Defensil Health Defense Council as they aim to be Filipino’s ally in germ protection. They are launching the campaign “Create Your Daily Defense”, arming Filipinos with science-backed knowledge on proper sanitation and hygiene.

For Protection that’s Real, Choose Defensil

One way to prevent the spread of germs is regular disinfection of hands and high touch surfaces using a rubbing alcohol. To provide a higher level of defense against germs in the new normal, the Philippine Society for Microbiology is recommending Defensil 70% Solution Isopropyl Alcohol.

Created by Beauty Elements Ventures Inc, Defensil 70% Solution Isopropyl Alcohol kills 99.9% of germs to give people the peace of mind that they are well-defended. It starts to kill germs on contact and upon constant use, will provide up to 12-hour protection.

Defensil 70%Solution Isopropyl Alcohol is also a pharmaceutical grade alcohol, which means that it has passed the strictest quality standards of the Philippine Food & Drug Administration (FDA). To know if an alcohol is pharmaceutical grade, people can check the label.

Isopropyl Alcohol Label 101: Pharmaceutical vs. Cosmetic Grade Isopropyl Alcohol

Isopropyl Alcohols are registered under the Philippine FDA as either Pharmaceutical or Cosmetic Grade. To know the difference, the front label of a pharmaceutical grade alcohol shows the product’s generic name enclosed in a box. Meanwhile, the back label should show a DRHR number, which is the FDA Production Registration Number, proving that the product has passed the highest FDA Standards for isopropyl alcohol.

“With the expert knowledge of PSM and with protection that’s real from Defensil Isopropyl Alcohol, the Defensil Health Defense Council hopes to provide Filipinos with the information they need to stay protected in their homes, workplaces and as they go about their daily activities“ said John Paolo Calona, Senior Brand Manager of Defensil Isopropyl Alcohol

“PSM is honored to have a partnership with Defensil,” said Joel Cornista, President of the Philippine Society for Microbiology. “Defensil Isopropyl Alcohol contains the concentration of isopropyl alcohol known to kill germs on the skin and on different surfaces. Regular disinfection of the hands and high-contact surfaces are known measures to prevent the transmission and spread of germs.”

For more information on how to stay protected, the Defensil Health Defense Council is inviting Filipino families to visit the Defensil Isopropyl Alcohol’s Facebook page at facebook.com/defensil.philippines.

Discover How Science Can Change the World at the 2-Day Manila Mini Maker Faire

For the third year in a row, the Philippines will be in the global maker map again as The Mind Museum hosts this year’s Manila Mini Maker Faire (MMMF) on June 22-23, 2019 at The Mind Museum. The entrance to this event is free to the public.

A Maker Faire is “a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. It’s a venue for makers to show examples of their work and interact with others about it. DIY (Do-It-Yourself) is often invisible in our communities, taking place in shops, garages and on kitchen tables. Maker Faire makes visible these projects and ideas that we don’t encounter every day.” 

Making & Tinkering Sustainably

The Manila Mini Maker Faire 2019 will have over 150 Makers from all over the Philippines, including Visayas and Mindanao, as well as from around Asia. This year, projects will highlight environmentally sustainable projects but will also include so much more. Some of these include solar-powered waste collectors, motorcycles retrofitted with electric engines, and products fashioned out of ocean plastic!

Attendees can also participate in hands-on maker activities and sign up for a variety of free and ticketed workshops. Bokashi mudball making, robotics, paper engineering, 3D design, eco art organic painting, and more will be available for everyone interested to learn new things.

This year’s MMMF also aims to establish a stronger maker community through networking and collaboration with makers from different parts of the country. There will be a Maker’s Networking Night to give an extraordinary chance for participants to interact with their fellow makers.

Inclusive Creations

The Manila Mini Maker Faire and the Maker are the perfect melting pot of science, engineering, art, performance, entrepreneurship, and craft. These fields aren’t limited to the experts and specialists, but to children and indigenous people as well! A large number of our makers are students, mothers, indigenous communities, and all sorts of people of different backgrounds and walks of life. Basing innovation around local communities ensures real-world problems are solved and addressed.

The Manila Mini Maker Faire is co-presented by 3M Philippines, and supported by Norde International Distributors, Eastern Telecommunications Philippines, Inc., FLUOR Philippines, Karatula Marketing and PCBWay.  For more info, visit: http://manila.makerfaire.com/
