2024, Happy New Year! “Enrich Your Life More With Enrich!” Mercury Drug’s Magazine Of 78 Years, Would You Believe!

I have not seen a more impressive and more informative and more inviting an issue of a magazine than Mercury Drug’s January 2024 issue of enrich – and I have been an editor of publications in science in the last 48 years! (I’m 83.) Note: I am connected neither with the publisher nor the publication but, now 78 years old, enrich is the most vibrant publication I have seen. Other Filipino magazines could learn a thing or two from enrich!
(“Enrich" from facebook.com; lower image, sorry can’t quite capture quality of original cover)

Remember: This magazine is being published by a drug company, Mercury Drug, somewhere in Metro Manila – and yet, enrich is full of “Healthy Lifestyle & Living” (as its slogan says so). In fact, the cover story, “The Importance Of Proper Garbage Disposal,” by Toni Reyes, p28-29, is very unusual but very much welcome!

The two other articles mentioned on the cover, clearly indicate to the would-be reader how wide the coverage is: from personal (“Sugar Levels”) to universal (“Climate Change”). Truly, enrich enriches the reader’s knowledge as widely as possible.

What else do you want to read on? On the cover, it says below:
health  * beauty  * home * recipes * family * education * travel * science

Mercury is the smallest planet in the solar system, according to Wikipedia, en.wikipedia.org); Now 78 years old, by its magazine “enrich,” PH’s Mercury is, according to me, the biggest planet in terms of radiating not only about our healthy lives but more so about a healthy world!@517
