NEW YORK - April 7, 2021 - (Newswire.com)

GB Sciences, a phytomedicine research and biopharmaceutical drug development company, recently joined Newswire's Earned Media Advantage Guided Tour program.

With a goal to create patented formulations for safe, standardized, plant-inspired therapies that target a variety of medical conditions, GB Sciences is leaning on Newswire's team of public relations (PR) experts to build recognition for their brand, educate the industry on their latest findings and technology, and attract new partners in the biopharma industry to support their cause.

Prior to joining Newswire's Earned Media Advantage Guided Tour program, GB Sciences was characterized as a cannabis-focused company.

Newswire will help GB Sciences highlight their pivot to the biopharma market, which includes the end of their reliance on the cannabis plant for raw materials—they now use identical synthetic copies of the cannabinoids produced under cGMP conditions to showcase their phytomedical research and biopharmaceutical development through GB Sciences' novel drug development pipeline. Newswire's repositioning campaign highlights progress towards a first-in-man clinical trial for GB Science's Parkinson's disease therapeutics, as well as upcoming progress reports on GB Science's ongoing proof-of-concept studies for medical conditions including neuropathic pain and Cytokine Release Syndrome related to COVID-19.

"We're an innovative company that works to understand the usages behind all-natural products, not just cannabis, and this has led us to create one of the strongest pipelines in the biopharmaceutical industry," said Dr. Andrea Small-Howard, Chief Science Officer and Director of GB Sciences. "Newswire is going to help us show, not tell, how we're creating the foundation for the future of healing."

Newswire will act as an extension of the team at GB Sciences to identify media opportunities, create compelling stories, launch targeted campaigns, and provide reports on overall performance.

"Through our partnership with GB Sciences, we'll work together to convert their owned media into earned media opportunities to accelerate their business growth and generate the brand awareness they deserve," said Charlie Terenzio, CMO and SVP of Media and Marketing Communications at Newswire.

Clients that are part of the Guided Tour program receive a needs analysis assessment that helps Newswire's PR experts determine the most relevant and actionable areas of opportunity to develop an effective go-to-market strategy.

From there, Newswire leans on its nearly 15 years of experience and leverages the expertise of its account strategists to offer targeted media outreach, the development of newsworthy stories, benchmarking, routine follow-ups and more as part of the program to ensure clients are meeting their specified targets and needs throughout their time on the Guided Tour.

How to prevent osteoporosis, from strength training to eating calcium-rich food

Osteoporosis is a stealthy condition. The disease, which weakens bones by making them thinner, less dense and more likely to break, advances slowly and silently, says Dr Edith Lau, founding president of the Asian Pacific Osteoporosis Foundation (APOF), and for most people the first sign is a broken bone. That break can follow something that does not seem serious – a minor fall, lifting something heavy, even a bout of coughing or sneezing. Sufferers most commonly break their forearm, spine or...

Bringing money lessons to young learners in Visayas, Mindanao

Young learners in schools across Visayas and Mindanao are getting additional resources for classroom learning and financial education through a partnership between Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI) and BPI Foundation (BPIF). Under BPIF’s FinEd Unboxed program, the foundations distributed educational materials and multimedia learning packages to recipient schools in Isabela City, Basilan; Zamboanga City; Guimaras; and Iloilo City throughout September. The school visits also featured the premiere of new episodes of “Estudyantipid,” an original educational series that introduces financial literacy to children through relatable situations and practical guidance. “At BPI, we believe that financial education is a powerful tool for empowerment. By helping young Filipinos develop practical money skills early, we can help build a generation that is more responsible, resilient, and prepared for the future,” said BPIF trustee Mary Catherine Elizabeth Santamaria. Each recipient school received a 55-inch smart TV equipped with a Knowledge Channel Portable Media Library containing more than 1,500 curriculum-aligned video lessons. The resources are designed to support daily classroom activities across grade levels through multimedia learning. KCFI vice president Edric Calma thanked BPIF for its continued support in bringing these resources to more Filipino learners. Calma described the turnover as an investment in learners’ futures, with curriculum-aligned video lessons developed to make learning more engaging, interactive, effective and relevant.

Dennis Trillo steps up as hubby, dad and peacemaker

It was GMA Drama King Dennis Trillo himself who put an end to the drama sparked by Ogie Diaz’s vlog interview with Patrick Garcia, which stirred the proverbial hornet’s nest. Dennis was even the one who offered Patrick an olive branch. Let there be peace for the sake of everyone involved, most especially the kids. Dennis made the point that Patrick could have handled a long-forgotten issue privately instead of going public, even if he felt compelled to speak to protect his daughter from being pilloried on social media. Comedienne Candy Pangilinan echoed that sentiment, indirectly coming to the defense of her close friend Gelli de Belen. Gelli was being drawn into an issue she had nothing to do with. With the controversy dragging more people into the fray, it fell to Dennis to sweep up the mess, haul it into the bin and, hopefully, shut the lid for good. No more scattering the contents, please. His wife, Jennylyn Mercado, also deserves credit for her firm resolve to say no more. Let the men take center stage in this emotionally charged, true-to-life showdown as spectators wait with bated breath to see where it leads. The same goes for Jennylyn’s management company, Aguila Entertainment, which has chosen to keep its eagle-like talons in check. Jen’s manager Becky had already said plenty in her statement, delivering criticism sharp enough to leave Patrick reeling. For now, it’s “peace on earth” in this corner of showbiz — an early Christmas treat. What, then, might showbiz followers wish for next? Since Christmas is traditionally a season for children, we can only hope Patrick reaches out to his son Alex Jazz, spends time sharing stories with him and begins making up for lost time. In keeping with the season, Patrick could even play Santa Claus. No need for the full costume or the trademark beard, just a huge sack of goodies — although making up for years of absence will take more than whatever he puts inside it.

Tabernas turn family values into growing business

For Anthony “Ka Tunying” Taberna and his wife, Rossel “Mrs. T” Taberna, building a business empire has been a shared journey of faith, sacrifice and learning. More than a decade after venturing into entrepreneurship, the couple is taking another step forward with the Taberna Group of Companies' first open house. While Anthony continues his career in broadcast journalism and commentary, Rossel has taken a leading role in managing their businesses, allowing the couple to build a livelihood while raising their family and staying grounded in their Christian faith. Their journey reached another milestone on Oct. 13 with TGC For Business 2026, the group's first open house for partners and clients, held at The Metro Tent in Pasig City. With the theme “One Step,” the event brought together entrepreneurs, industry leaders, government representatives and prospective business partners to explore the group's four brands and the opportunities they offer. “When we first envisioned bringing all our brands together under one roof for our very first expo, we had so many quiet late-night worries. Mounting an event like this for the first time is a massive leap of faith,” Rossel said during an interview. A partnership built on trust The couple's business journey began with a goal to establish a source of income beyond Anthony's work in media. “At the beginning, the plan was just to have a fallback. I always told Mrs. T that I wouldn't always have work in media,” he said in Filipino. That initial plan eventually grew into the Taberna Group of Companies, a Filipino-owned enterprise comprising Ka Tunying's, Kumbachero Food Corp., Taste of the Town Catering and Outbox Media Powerhouse Corp. Today, the group has approximately 250 employees across its food, manufacturing, catering and events operations. But while their businesses have grown, Anthony and Rossel have also had to learn how to support each other through the pressures of running a company and raising a family. He acknowledged that they made mistakes along the way, but said those experiences helped them improve their operations. He credited her leadership with helping put the businesses in better order when she took charge. For him, supporting his wife means recognizing her abilities and allowing her to make her own decisions. “I think husbands shouldn't limit their wives' talents and abilities. We should let them fly,” he said. “If she's happy, I'm happy, too,” he continued. Rossel said her husband's support has helped her deal with the demands of managing their businesses, particularly when things do not go as planned. “That's the secret. I handle the business well, and he handles me well. He's very supportive. When I'm down, he's the best at pep talk. We pray together, and he's very supportive,” she said. Making time for each other Anthony and Rossel have been together since Nov. 11, 2005. Despite their demanding schedules, they continue to make time for each other and their children. Anthony credited his wife's time-management skills with helping the family maintain a routine. Rossel plans the coming week on Sunday, allowing them to coordinate their commitments. “It's all detailed, even the hours and days. Sometimes I have my own schedule, but I adjust mine to hers so that we have time for our children and each other,” he said. The couple have a nightly routine: they watch an episode of a Korean drama together. Their children have also become involved in the family enterprise. During the open house, their daughter Zoey led the prayer. Anthony said Zoey contributes to Outbox, while other family members also help with the businesses. For the Tabernas, faith remains part of their family life and business decisions, guiding how they treat their employees and approach their responsibilities. “We are standing here as partners who are deeply grateful for how far grace and hard work have brought us,” Anthony said.
