Review | Mighty Mom: A Mighty Dishwashing Liquid of Choice For Every Home

Just like a kid who gets all giddy when given a new toy, as a mom, I too get happy and excited when given stuff especially things that can help me in my household chores. And a week ago, I received a household product, a 750ml Mighty Mom Dishwashing Liquid in Lemon variant for me to try and review.

Honestly, it was the first time that I came across this brand and I'm happy because I'm discovering something new. Aside from the Mighty Mom Dishwashing Liquid the package also includes a 500ml Doctor J Isopropyl Alcohol which I reviewed here. Upon receiving the products, I immediately made my own research. These two brands are actually manufactured by KOHL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION.

KOHL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION is a Philippine FDA CGMP, Certified Manufacturing Corporation and is recognized as a trusted manufacturer of high-grade disinfectants, personal care, household products and medical device solutions  in the Philippines. It is proudly Filipino-owned and was incorporated in June 2002 by Mr. Aton C. Atilano.

With its Certificate of Good Manufacturing Practice, Kohl Industries Corporation develops products specially for professional use. Formulated together with an expert team of chemists and pharmacists, their products adhere to the strictest standards set by top hospitals, where only high-level cleansing is accepted. Knowing this, I felt confident that my family will be in good hands.

On my previous post I've mentioned that I don't really like washing the dishes but as a mom and without a helper who else would get the job done? Of course me.....and Jaear, yes we take turns with household chores! But I was the one who got to try the Mighty Mom dishwashing liquid first and shared with him my impression which I will also be sharing with you.

The brand name itself, Mighty Mom Dishwashing Liquid makes it appealing to every mommies and adding to it is the mommy image on the label. Cool! Its packaging also is comparable to those leading brands, its made out of thick durable plastic dispenser with a pump. I prefer pump dispenser the most as it's easier to use. 

On its label, it's stated "Concentrated" and that is why it's frothy and has long lasting bubbles which I find entertaining every time I wash the dishes. Haha! In terms of its scent, since I got the Lemon variant, it's sweet and citrusy. It smells good but just overpowering and leaves a clean fragrant scent on the plates and glasses especially plastic ones. So if you don't want it to leave a smell on, rinse it properly and I suggest you to only use a little amount of dishwashing liquid or you can even dilute it in water. And, because it's concentrated, you can actually save, even a little drop will go a long way, so a bottle will last for a longer time for sure. 

Aside from the Lemon variant, Mighty Mom is also available in endearing scent of Kalamansi which is my favorite, and the newest to the group, Vitamin E infused Soft Skin variant. Can't wait to try them all!

Mighty Mom dishwashing liquid also effectively cleans and cuts grease. Just make sure to properly rinse your dishes also to avoid food residues. What I like the most about Mighty Mom is that it has Anti-bacterial properties not only cleaning our plates and utensils but disinfects it making them germ free as well. Great isn't it?

And another good news, Mighty Mom is easy on the pocket! They are doing an ad campaign on several stores and they also supply this in bundles unlike other dishwashing liquid in the market. 


For SM supermarkets, a 500mL bottle with 2 FREE 250mL pouch is priced at Php88.00 only and a 1 Liter bottle with pump + FREE 3 250mL pouch is priced at Php149.00 only. For Shopwise, a 750mL bottle with 2 FREE 250mL pouch is priced at Php149.75 and a 500mL bottle bundled with another 500mL bottle is priced at Php95.00 only. For Robinsons, a 250mL bottle with 2 FREE 250mL pouch is priced at Php49.75 only. What a great deal! It's definitely worth hoarding for as this can be stored for a long time plus buying this is supporting local products, as this is Proudly Pinoy-owned.

Give it a try mommies, not only are you going to make big savings but you are also ensured that your dishes are clean, deodorized, germ free and that your family is safe! Indeed a mighty dishwashing liquid of choice for Supermoms.

Mighty Mom is currently available in Robinsons Supermarket, SM Supermarket, SM Savemore, SM Hypermarket, Fishermall, APCES, Shopwise, to name a few. It is also available in Marketa, an online market place.

Sun Life:Rise PH, Aims to serve 5M Clients by 2020

Time takes its toll on everyone. It breaks my heart to see old folks in the streets still working as they struggle to even stand up. They make some of my worries and troubles seems negligible as I fall into tears trying to imagine how hard life must be for these elderly. We're not getting younger, though I wish that would be the case. Days, Weeks, Months and Years continues to pass. I'm sure you'd agree that as a parent there's a time when you dream of being prepared for all the struggles that might come in life especially to our children. I don't want to trust my future to anyone else like the government because I understand that at the end of the day, it all comes down to how much I've prepared for it. It's like how one of my favorite saying goes: "Fail to prepare, Prepare to fail".  These days I've had my eyes in learning more about stock exchange and life insurance plans. I've yet to attend seminars with my husband about stocks but in terms of life plans, SunLife has pique our interest especially after knowing how the company operates with their ideals. Thus let me share with you a few details as well:

Sun Life of Canada (Philippines), Inc., the top-ranked and the longest-standing life insurance company in the Philippines, aims to serve five million clients by 2020 under its new five-year growth plan that is dubbed as “Rise PH”

“Rise PH” champion’s financial inclusion in the Philippines, where only a small percentage of the whole population utilizes financial products such as insurance and investments. 
Despite the bright prospects that the country’s economy has, prosperity still hasn’t trickled down to the more disadvantaged sectors of society. We have to address this”, Sun Life President and CEO Riza Mantaring said. “Sun Life would like to see more Filipinos looking forward to a brighter future and the whole country rising to greater heights. We would like to start by targeting five million clients in five years."
While it may seem like an ambitious goal, Mantaring believes that it’s best to set the targets high. 
At Sun Life, we always dare to dream big – more so if the stakes are high. This is the country’s future we’re talking about, after all”, she explained. “Setting high targets will push us to do more, and will allow us to make a greater contribution to our country’s future.”
In order to reach the company’s goals, several initiatives will be launched under “Rise PH”. These initiatives will have Sun Life reaching out a broader market, further boosting its financial literacy advocacy, and expanding its reach nationwide.

Financial Independent Month

The initial set of initiatives has been launched this June, which Sun Life has declared as Financial Independence Month. This includes the cooperation with 8990 Holdings Inc., one of the top mass housing developers in the country, for efforts to promote financial literacy.

Another initiative is Money for Life, a comprehensive customizable financial planning program that will ensure a client to have sufficient funds in every stages of his life.

To help insure the public to create their own Money for Life plan with financial advisor, Sun Life created a 360-degree visual reality (VR) video, transporting them to different scenario based on their chosen life stage. This will enable the viewer to live the dream for a minute and be encouraged to start planning for their future through Money for Life and Sun Life’s life insurance and investment products.


Viewable with a VR headset, the video can be experienced in a customizable bus “Bus to the Future” which will be making its way to different malls and school campuses nationwide from June 11 to July 2.

Meanwhile, those who will not be able to visit the “Bus to the Future” stops will still get a boost in their financial journey with the Money for Life e-planner. They simply have to go to at moneyforlife.com.ph and they can start their financial planning, get product recommendations, and even buy mutual funds from Sun Life Asset management Co., Inc.

Financial Independence Month is now on its third year highlighting the national importance of financial preparedness among Filipinos. 
“This June marks a new beginning as Sun Life embraces its goal of serving five million clients in five years,” Mantaring said. “We are very much excited about the possibilities, and we look forward to helping our country rise to reach its potential.”
