Your Healthy Palamantasan Pledge Can Win Kraft Gift Packs

Up to now, my Mom keeps reminding me that I was not much of a vegetable eater as a little girl. Thankfully, she knew how to cook and managed to provide me with healthy snacks incorporating the things that I would eat. Sometimes though, she would insist that I eat my veggies. So nowadays, she still gets surprised when she sees me eating lots of vegetables and in fact, go for it almost always before getting the meat dishes.

However, I see my young self in my youngest son now who sets aside anything green he sees on his plate. I'm just glad that my other 3 children are not so picky with vegetables, including our eldest girl who has grown to love them. How do I ensure that my children stay healthy during their crucial growing-up years? Here are some things I have done:

1. Junk food and softdrinks are no longer on my grocery list.
2. I choose lean meat over the regular meats available (they are pricier but healthier)
3. Fish is served up more often on the table.
4. Meat dishes, as often as possible, are cooked with vegetables in them.
5. Dairy products like milk and cheese are always present at home.

What about you? Would you be willing to make a Palamantasan Pledge to provide proper nutrition for your family?

CONTEST

Share your pledge with me and get a chance to be one of 10 winners of Kraft gift packs.

It's simple. Here are the contest mechanics:


1. The contest is open to all Facebook users IN THE METRO MANILA AREA ONLY.

2. Go to the Facebook page of "Palamantasan ng Sarap, Sustansya at Saya". Click "LIKE".

3. On YOUR OWN Facebook page, create a pledge on how to keep provide proper nutrition for your family. Tag the Palamantasan page within your pledge message. Do this by first typing the "@" symbol followed by the word "Palamantasan". A drop-down menu box will appear where you will see the entire phrase "Palamantasan ng Sarap, Sustansya at Saya". Click that and you should see the "Palamantasan ng Sarap, Sustansya at Saya" become a blue link. Continue on by writing out your pledge.



4. After writing your pledge, click the attach link icon and paste the URL of this post (this is so that your entry is properly identified as having come from my blog post for judging purposes).

Thanks again for joining, everyone. To be sure your entry is qualified, please make sure it shows up on the Palamantasan Facebook Page. If it does not show up, there must have been a problem in tagging it. I can only judge the entries if they show up on the Palamantasan Facebook Page. Thanks and good luck!

Hi there,

Ialready submitted my entry before but I was wondering why it was deleted in Palamantasan's wall. NOt sure if it has something to do with my privacy restrictions in my profile.
Anyway, here's my entry coz' I tried posting again. I already set my privacy settings as well.
Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi jane,

I was wondering because when I tried visiting Palamantasan's page again just now, my previous entry linking your blog showed up again (entry Sept.06)! That was odd! This happened after I sent another entry to their fan page with the link to your blog. I thought it was because of my privacy settings that it was automatically disqualified and deleted.
Anyway, hope you can still check out my entry and consider it. Thanks!

Luisa

@Luisa - I screencapped your entry on Palamantasan page to be sure. Facebook has this wonky thing. I've had posts disappear on me too. But yes, for it to show up on the Palamantasan page, your Share settings have to be set to "Everyone". Thanks for joining and good luck!

can a provincial participant join and if ever wins, send a representative to claim the prize on his/her behalf? thanks.

Jane said...

@torque15 - I clarified your question with the organizers and yes, you can send in an entry only if you have a duly authorized representative get the prize if ever you win. That representative will have to show a photocopy of your valid ID and your authorization letter when claiming. Thanks!
