GINGA CELEBRATES WOMEN'S MONTH

And this Women's Month, we are celebrating it as well together with the whole universe with our campaign entitled "You Got The Power" from March 7-31. And we are very proud to share in this blog that we are featuring 12 inspiring and strong women who share the same mission with Ginga, and that is to promote a healthy lifestyle that each woman deserves. It is our goal to provide you with affordable yet organic and quality healthy drinks and teas that we harvest on our own farm in Lobo, Batangas.  

Our CEO, Ms. Lota Lazarte-Manalo is a woman who persevered and showed hard work to prove that being a woman can't hinder you in achieving your dreams. Ginga Agrifood was established in 2005, with the help of her family. Her interest in making ginger brew or salabat was the main reason why Ginga became the company that it is today. One of her main goals is to provide a livelihood to the people of Lobo and its community. 

"As a lawyer who manages a law firm, and as a professor who teaches law students, I encourage younger lady lawyers and female students to be as confident and as assertive as their male counterparts because they are no less worthy but, in fact, have more strengths and power in their hands.For one, most women are more hard working, more organized, and more thorough than men.For another, because they are meant to rear children, they have more EQ (emotional quotient). Scientists say that people with high EQ tend to be more successful in every endeavor in life than those –who, despite a high IQ – have low EQs."

"I try to live by example that women’s abilities and opportunities are unlimited.  I work hard to be many things: a mom, wife, lawyer, law professor, motoring columnist, baker at home. We now live in an era where women can be whatever they want if they strive for it."

"I think finding value in yourself is the key to a healthier and happier lifestyle. Deciding to make a change in your life is never easy. Breaking old habits and creating healthy ones can be challenging and even discouraging at times. However, it’s not impossible. It’s good to make a plan and take baby steps." 

"We should all love our body as it promotes healthy mind as well. We should start by accepting what body types we have and must embrace it. Research the best diet that will suit you and also spoil sometimes, don’t deprive yourself too much"

"Promoting a healthy lifestyle starts with how you think, and how you can be a good influence to the people around you. You have to discipline yourself during that process. It is also important that you really enjoy taking that journey so that you won't be so hard on yourself. As for me, It was challenging for me at first but as time goes by, I have genuinely enjoyed doing a healthy routine. With that, I have efficiently shared my knowledge with other people on regards to a healthy lifestyle and I also encourage my friends and family to join me in this lifestyle."

"I am a tea person. It is  part of my daily nutritional supplement. The all natural and extremely healthy ingredients of Ginga tea is a good daily health supplement for me.  Ginga tea – Filipino made. Proud Pinoy!"

"I'm a fan of Turmeric tea because of its antioxidant properties. I like to take it at night with warm milk because it helps me sleep better. Aside from that, I noticed that the natural glow of my skin improved after several months of taking it!"

"I love Ginga products, I have been an advocate as it is healthy, immune boosting plus it supports the Filipino farmers."
