Welcome Message from Joanna

Dear Human Nature Family,

It is the first of September as I write this message and already Christmas is in the air. But you know what else is palpable all around me? HOPE! That sense of faith and pride in the Philippines is so strong that at first I thought it was because I was surrounded by heroes and nation-builders from Gawad Kalinga, Human Nature, and the countless social entrepreneurs around me. But then, I realize that that feeling was in many other places as well. The passing of Jesse Robredo has opened the doors for others like him to rise.
The spirit of volunteerism, bravery and sacrifice has affirmed that the Filipino spirit is waterpoof. The Philippines is seen as the 6th fastest growing economy in the world. Entrepreneurship is on the rise. Citizen leadership is sprouting amongst the youth and the established. According to Alex Lacson "Hope is one of life's great essentials. A person who sees no future in a company will look for opportunity elsewhere. A man who sees no hope in a country will migrate to another place." One of the greatest gifts we can give each other is hope.
And I feel a deep sense of gratitude as well as pride that through Human Nature, I have been given the opportunity to give the gift of hope. The same is true for all of you, our dear Human Nature dealers. You are all harbingers of hope as you continue to spread your love for country, for the poor, for the environment and for your loved ones through Human Nature. As we give hope to others, they too will be heralds of that good spirit. What better way to make a nation rise than through a citizenry who believes and acts that it will!

May all our hearts stay bolstered by hope and love for the Philippines!

In hope and in love,


Joanna Gilladoga

..... 2012 Human Nature Summit - Save the Date!
Ladies and gents; it's almost that time of the year again where we dedicate a whole day for you, yes, you, our wonderful dealers. You won't want to miss it!

The Human Nature Summit 2012 will be taking place at the GK Enchanted Farm in Angat, Bulacan on November 10, 2012 (Saturday). This year's summit will be extra special because not only will we be launching the Christmas Edition of the magalogue, we will also be launching an entirely new category that will take Human Nature a step closer to its vision of emboldening other businesses to scale up and, hopefully, become as successful as Human Nature!

And because the summit will be at the Enchanted Farm, you can expect a day full of fun for yourselves and your families because Human Nature will be turning...4 years old in November! So block that date and look forward to the biggest birthday party ever!

Eco Shopping Tote

The threat of plastics are becoming more real to us today, especially with the floods that we're experiencing. To date, in Metro Manila alone, there are already 7 municipalities implementing plastic ban or at least the regulation of plastic use. The list includes: QC, Makati, Muntinlupa, Pasay, Pasig, Las Pinas and Manila.

Plastic poses immediate threat to our seas. It is responsible for damaged corals and the death of many marine animals, which nibble on them thinking that it's food. Because of this, we've decided to tie up with Save the Philippine Seas (SPS) in coming up with the eco-shopping tote. Part of the proceeds will go to them to help support their activities. So what are you waiting for? Grab your own eco tote bag now!

Did you know?

Did you know that the Philippines is the center of marine biodiversity in the world? However, it's in a critical state now but YOU can help save it.

How? By using this eco-bag to reduce plastic waste. Plastic not only clogs our waterways during the rainy season, but could also damage corals and kill marine animals.

Together, let's save our seas now, so that the future generations could enjoy its bounty and beauty.

Extreme Branch Makeover!
It's an exciting time, everyone! Your favorite Human Nature branches are getting an extreme makeover. Just recently, Human Nature San Pablo, Laguna and Cebu City branches renovated to a classier space to suit your taste and lifestyle. Enjoy your shopping in these well-designed spaces, and take your time in choosing the products you and your customers love.



...

You'll be glad to know that Cebu City branch now has accommodating parking spaces, and it is accessible too, by many public transportation routes, because it is right along Osmeña blvd.


...

Our San Pablo Laguna branch on the other hand, is now conveniently located on the ground floor, so that it's easier to carry your purchases.

As you all know very well, Human Nature, being pro-Philippines, embraces the unique characteristics of the Filipino - and we know how much we value company and relationship with people. That's why we intentionally designed the spaces so that your kids will stay entertained, reading books, or riding a rocking horse. Your spouse can relax in our cafe area, and enjoy a free cup of coffee while reading the newspaper. And when you're done shopping, we saved a space for you and your friends to catch up and have a chat.

We really want to give you a pleasurable shopping experience, and this is our way of bringing back the support you gave, through the years! It feels like spring, and your favorite branches are blooming buds, finally letting that world-class Human Nature show.

And that's not all! Other Human Nature branches are getting a makeover too. Pay these branches a visit soon and let us know what you think. After all, these extreme makeovers are done just for you. To make shopping more enjoyable and convenient not just for you, but for your whole family too!
