Gilaz Norte Fancy Chicken Show and Serama Competition makes history at Zoocobia Bird and Drone Park

My family and I had a great Saturday well spend together at Zoocobia Bird and Drone Park.. Everyone had fun gettign to know the different birds and chicken breeds as well as having the chance to experience holding birds for the first time.

It was also the same day where The inaugural Gilaz Norte Fancy Chicken Show and Serama Competition held at Zoocobia Bird and Drone Park last February 24, 2024 was a resounding success, marking a significant milestone in the world of poultry exhibitions. The event was presented by BlackSand Events PH in partnership with different chicken / poultry organizations.

Hosted amidst the picturesque backdrop of Zoocobia Bird and Drone Park, the event captivated attendees with a day filled with elegance, beauty, and the charming allure of ornamental chickens.

The competition featured a diverse array of categories, providing participants with an opportunity to showcase the beauty and diversity of ornamental chicken breeds.

The festivities commenced with the much-anticipated Funtastic Wings Show at 4pm, where participants showcased their exquisite breeds of fancy birds, each adorned with vibrant plumage and unique characteristics, much to the delight of the audience.

Following the splendid display of avian elegance, the evening unfolded with the Special Night Owl Show at 6pm, enchanting visitors with mesmerizing performances and captivating spectacles under the starlit sky.

Colgate partnered with the Philippine Dental Association (PDA), launches the "Isang Milyong Sipilyo, Angat Ngiting Pilipino" Program

Dr. Emmanuel Centeno, President of the Philippine Dental Association, poses with Mr. Diomar Escat, Public Health & Scientific Affairs Manager at Colgate Palmolive Philippines, representatives from Colgate-Palmolive Philippines Inc. and the Philippine Dental Association.

Colgate, the leading oral health brand in the Philippines, partnered with the Philippine Dental Association (PDA) to the launch of "Isang Milyong Sipilyo, Angat Ngiting Pilipino" program last February 5, 2024 at the Timoteo Paez Elementary School in Pasay City.

The students of Timoteo Paez Elementary School joined all 127 dental chapters of the Philippine Dental Association in a simultaneous toothbrushing event to celebrate National Toothbrushing Day.

During the event's Luzon kickoff, more than 500 students from Timoteo Paez Elementary School learned the value of good oral hygiene and how to properly brush their teeth from Colgate and the PDA. As part of the "Isang Milyong Sipilyo, Angat Ngiting Pilipino" program, Colgate offered free dental check-ups and distributed oral hygiene kits to 550 students. Dr. Rabbit, Colgate's mascot, also made an appearance at the event, ensuring that the children had an exciting and enjoyable day. As a father whose son experienced missing school due to toothaches, Mr. Rannie Robles, president of Timoteo Paez Elementary School's Parent-Teacher Association, rallied parents and guardians in a pledge to always protect their children's teeth – staying true to his commitment of keeping children at school and away from absenteeism. 

“In the next two months, our Bright Smiles, Bright Futures program will be making trips to the VisMin regions. Following our visit to Timoteo Paez Elementary School here in Pasay, we will visit a chosen elementary school in Iloilo and Davao City, as we stay committed to spreading the importance of taking charge of their dental health to improve their overall well-being of Filipino children they grow older. It is our shared hope to empower these bright young children throughout the nation to prioritize their oral health and set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles, one city at a time.” ~Mr. Diomar Escat, Public Health & Scientific Affairs Manager at Colgate Palmolive Philippines Inc.

Children availed of the free dental check-up booths were set up by Colgate Philippines at the event.

120 dental chapters of the Philippine Dental Association participated in a simultaneous toothbrushing event, alongside thousands of schoolchildren from 193 schools nationwide in honor of National Toothbrushing Day. This strong display of unity demonstrated the steadfast dedication of the country’s dentists to promoting proper oral hygiene habits nationwide.

Thousands of oral care kits were distributed to the children of Timoteo Paez Elementary School.

"It is our commitment at PDA and as a professional organization to continuously make valuable and sustainable programs that would contribute to better oral health for our community. With the help of our partners at Colgate Philippines, we will be distributing more than one million toothbrushes to public schools across the country. Our shared goal is to equip students with the fundamentals of oral hygiene by teaching them proper tooth brushing techniques.” ~Dr. Emmanuel Centeno, President of the Philippine Dental Association
