Polynucleotides have become an area of growing interest in aesthetic medicine because of their role in supporting the skin's natural regenerative processes. According to Croma, the PolyPhil range is developed using the company's proprietary PN-HPT™ (Polynucleotides High Purification Technology), which is designed to deliver highly purified polynucleotides for aesthetic treatments.

Each treatment is performed following a professional consultation, allowing providers to evaluate the client's skin concerns, discuss treatment goals, and recommend an individualized treatment plan.

Separating Fact from Fiction: Cebuana Lhuillier MoneyXChange Debunks Common Foreign Exchange Myths

 

Getting the most value from every currency exchange starts with making informed decisions. Whether traveling overseas, paying tuition abroad, importing products for a business, or supporting loved ones in another country, Filipinos increasingly rely on foreign exchange as part of their financial journey. As global opportunities continue to grow, understanding how foreign exchange works can help maximize the value of every peso exchanged.

As the expert in foreign exchange, Cebuana Lhuillier MoneyXChange combines competitive exchange rates, a broad selection of currencies, and a nationwide network that makes foreign exchange more accessible and convenient for Filipinos wherever their financial journeys take them.

"Many people see foreign exchange as a simple transaction, but it plays a much bigger role in achieving financial goals," said Jean Henri Lhuillier, President and CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier. "Making informed currency decisions helps customers maximize the value of their hard-earned money while giving them greater confidence in every transaction."

Drawing from the questions and misconceptions most frequently encountered by its foreign exchange specialists, Cebuana Lhuillier MoneyXChange debunks five common foreign exchange myths every Filipino should know.

Myth #1: "It's okay to exchange my money only when I arrive abroad."

Fact: Many travelers assume they can simply exchange money at the airport or after reaching their destination. However, waiting until arrival often means having fewer choices and less control over the exchange rate. Cebuana Lhuillier MoneyXChange enables customers to exchange currency before their trip through its nationwide branch network, allowing them to compare rates in advance and secure the currency they need before flying. For added convenience, customers can also use Click & Collect to reserve their preferred foreign currency online and simply pick it up at their selected Cebuana Lhuillier branch, making it easier to travel with local cash on hand for transportation, meals, and other immediate expenses upon arrival.

Myth #2: "Foreign exchange is only for people going on vacation."

Fact: Foreign exchange supports much more than leisure travel. Cebuana Lhuillier MoneyXChange serves parents paying tuition abroad, entrepreneurs purchasing goods from overseas suppliers, businesses managing cross-border transactions, overseas workers, and families receiving foreign currency. Its services are designed to support a wide range of international financial needs, not just vacations.

Myth #3: "Small differences in exchange rates don't really matter."

Fact: Even small movements in exchange rates can add up, particularly for larger transactions. Cebuana Lhuillier MoneyXChange helps customers maximize the value of every exchange by offering competitive rates that can translate into meaningful savings whether the funds are intended for travel, education, or business.

Myth #4: "I should wait until someone tells me the rate is at its lowest."

Fact: Exchange rates constantly change based on global market conditions, making them difficult to predict accurately. Rather than relying on speculation or social media advice, Cebuana Lhuillier MoneyXChange encourages customers to exchange based on their actual financial needs while providing transparent, competitive rates that help them make informed decisions with confidence.

Myth #5: "Money changers only exchange major currencies like US dollars."

Fact: As Filipinos travel, study, and do business across more countries, access to multiple currencies has become increasingly important. Cebuana Lhuillier MoneyXChange offers a wide selection of foreign currencies, enabling customers to conveniently obtain the currencies they need through one trusted provider without being limited to only the most common denominations.

"Financial literacy means understanding every financial decision we make, including how we exchange currencies," said Philippe Andre Lhuillier, Senior Executive Vice President of Cebuana Lhuillier. "As more Filipinos participate in the global economy, our goal is to provide reliable foreign exchange services while helping customers make informed decisions that maximize the value of their money."

Whether crossing borders for work, education, business, or leisure, making smarter currency decisions starts with knowing the facts. Backed by trusted expertise, competitive exchange rates, access to a wide range of currencies, and one of the country's largest branch networks, Cebuana Lhuillier MoneyXChange continues to help Filipinos navigate foreign exchange with greater confidence, convenience, and value.

MINDANAO'S HOMEGROWN INNOVATORS TAKE CENTER STAGE AS FOUR BREAKTHROUGHS EARN NATIONAL SPOTS


By Bhal Abad Cabrera | July 30, 2026

OZAMIZ CITY, Misamis Occidental — Mindanao's growing reputation as a source of homegrown innovation gained national attention after four locally developed technologies secured slots in the 2026 Presidential Filipinnovation Awards (PFA) National Competition, showcasing the region's ability to create solutions with real-world impact.

The winning entries emerged from the Mindanao Sub-National Competition held in Ozamiz City, where innovators from across the island presented technologies aimed at addressing challenges in agriculture, construction, and other key sectors.

Governor Henry S. Oaminal, chairperson of the Mindanao Sub-National Selection Committee, said the finalists reflect the ingenuity and resilience of Mindanaoans whose ideas have the potential to contribute to national progress.

"These innovations prove that world-class ideas are not limited to major urban centers. They are being developed right here in Mindanao by people who understand the needs of their communities," Oaminal said.

He emphasized that the Presidential Filipinnovation Awards serve as a platform for transforming local ideas into nationally recognized innovations capable of improving industries and creating economic opportunities.

According to Oaminal, the competition also highlighted the importance of collaboration among government agencies, academic institutions, private organizations, and innovators in building a stronger innovation ecosystem.

The governor noted that many of the featured technologies were born out of everyday challenges faced by ordinary Filipinos. Among them were an AI-powered construction management platform designed to improve project efficiency and an automated coconut sap juice extractor inspired by the experiences of coconut-farming communities.

He said these innovations demonstrate how practical solutions developed at the grassroots level can eventually become technologies with nationwide applications.

Beyond the competition, Oaminal expressed optimism that the event would encourage more young innovators, researchers, and entrepreneurs to pursue science, technology, and innovation as tools for nation-building.

"The future belongs to those who innovate. We hope that more Mindanaoans will be inspired to develop solutions that improve lives and strengthen our economy," he said.

The governor congratulated the four winning teams, encouraging them to proudly represent Mindanao when they compete against the country's top innovators in the national finals this September.

The 2026 Presidential Filipinnovation Awards Mindanao Sub-National Competition brought together researchers, startups, educators, students, government agencies, and industry leaders in Ozamiz City, underscoring the region's growing role in advancing innovation and technology-driven development in the Philippines.

"Our goal is to build a high-quality sanctuary right here in Taytay, making genuine, lineage-backed yoga accessible to the local community."
