I have a secret to tell.....

Kib had kuto (head lice) in the past.

Please don't tell him that I wrote it in my blog, or else he'll get mad at me, haha.

Don't worry, he's already kuto-free.  Feel free to kiss and hug him whenever you see him, hihi.

Anyway, I guess most of us had lice problems when we were younger.  The most classic way of removing the head lice is for our moms to remove it one by one or by using an ultra-fine hair comb (suyod).  If the problem is worse, either our moms will cut our hair very, very short or douse our hair with kerosene.  It may sound barbaric but in the past years, we do not have so much choices in treating head lice problems.  At present, there are already available over-the-counter head lice treatment available on drugstores and supermarkets, one of them is Licealiz.

Licealiz is one of the leading shampoo treatment for head lice in the Philippines.  Manufactured by Lamoiyan Corporation, one of its missions is to have a lice-free Philippines.  

According to the study conducted by Department of Education (DepEd) and University of the Philippines, pediculosis or head lice infestation is considered as second to the most common health problem for those children studying in public schools, next to tooth decay 

Last October 2nd, Lamoiyan Corporation launched Kilusang Kontra Kuto Year 3 in public schools all over the Philippines.  For Year 3, they first started at Bagong Silangan Elementary School in Quezon City where they washed all the kids' hair with Licealiz shampoo.  Each kid was also given one towel and a fine hair comb to check if they have hair lice after shampooing.
