The motel and entertainment community is holding an "Island to Archipelago for Haiti" benefit concert on Feb. 12, headlined by Cecilio & Kapono, to aid survivors of the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti.

To be held from 5 to 8 p.m. on the out-and-out lawn at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Alternative & Spa, the fundraiser is the brainchild of Jerry Gibson, managing head and Hilton Hotels Corp. area vice president.

"About 1 1/2 weeks ago, I saw the devastation and said, 'We demand to do something; let's get the whole hotel community together.' Immediately everyone jumped on board, every distinct entity. It was a terrific, terrific response," Gibson said.

Their ideal is to raise $40,000, which will be given to the American Red Cross Haiti Alternate and Development Fund the next day. Concertgoers may make a $20 largesse at the door. Food samplings, beer and other beverages will each tell on for $3; special parking will be available for $5.

Pulling together such a stocky event in a few weeks is something "we in the hotel industry are second-hand to doing," Gibson said. "They deploy their logistics very right away. Total cooperation from the community has been overwhelming, which makes it easier to do this."

In his over two decades in the partnership, 2009 was the first time he’d seen a decline in toothpaste use among the customarily hygiene-conscious Filipinos.

“Maybe people aren’t brushing their teeth as much anymore or perchance they’re using less toothpaste when they brush their teeth.” Pedro said. “I don’t conscious how this happened.”

He noted that economic conditions could have affected the obtainable income of households, making Filipinos care less about their actual hygiene just to save money.

Last year, toothpaste consumption in the Philippines level by 13 percent. Hapee’s sales fell by more, he said, declining to say literally how much.
