Kids need the proper protection, guidance, and a good amount of fun to unleash their full potentials.

For Nido Fortified Science Discovery Center and its partner, VitaPops— Unilab’s first and only pop rock vitamins for kids—there is a greater need to develop a specialized area that would promote ingenuity and creativity thus the creation of the Inventor’s Lab, which will be launched in a pop-rock-themed party slated on May 28 at the South Pavilion of SM Mall of Asia.

This partnership aims to gear kids up for a full childhood experience where they get to experiment and discover the fun wonders of science through this collaborative campaign. It would also accentuate the parents’ role in ensuring that their kids are 100% healthy and protected.

"The Science Discovery Center has always been at the forefront of edu-tainment. We firmly believe that learning occurs when you provide children with an enjoyable atmosphere in an encouraging and protected environment. In this exhibit, with the help of our partners at Vitapops, we want to create exactly that, " said Arturo Carballo, Jr., senior operations manager of the Nido Fortified Science Discovery Center.

This first Inventors' Lab, which can be found at the second level of SM Mall of Asia’s South Side Entertainment Mall, will feature construction toys that stimulate the minds and creativity of kids. There are also Kinect Interactive video games, which the children can enjoy among many other activities lined up for them.

During the launch, the Philippine Robotic Olympiad’s pool of young inventors will go head to head as they build innovative creations. Tasked with the goal of making school more fun and enjoyable, the students will use the different parts of the construction toys for their inventions. A similar contest will also be held for attendees age 7 to 12.

Meanwhile, other participants may take part in games and activities, including the pop rock concert, featuring various musical acts.

The new partnership between the recently revamped Nido Fortified Science Discovery Center and VitaPops, a pop rock candy Vitamin C, aims to be parents’ partner in their task to EDUCATE and PROTECT their kids to ensure that they are able to ENJOY a full childhood experience.

World's largest captive crocodile Lolong dies in Philippines

World's largest captive crocodile Lolong dies in Philippines

Officials said the six-metre reptile, weighing more than 1,000kg, flipped over with a bloated stomach and was declared dead several hours later.

The crocodile, blamed for the death of at least one person, was caught in September 2011 and then became the star attraction of an eco-tourism park.

It was formally declared the world's largest in captivity by Guinness World Records last year.

The crocodile, which was given the name Lolong, was captured in the town of Bunawan after a three-week hunt involving dozens of people.

The giant reptile, which measured 6.4m (21ft) and weighed in at 1,075kg (2,370lb), had begun to draw local and foreign tourists to the town.

Bunawan Mayor Edwin Elorde said Lolong had been off colour for a month.

"He refused to eat since last month and we noticed a change in the colour of his faeces," he told the Philippine Daily Inquirer newspaper. "Our personnel also noticed an unusual ballooning of the reptile's belly."

Local vet Alex Collantes said that unseasonably cold weather could have affected the crocodile.

Mr Elorde told the Inquirer wildlife experts would conduct an investigation into the death and said he hoped Lolong's body could be preserved.

"In that way, people can still look and marvel at him," he said.

Australian media say the mantle of largest saltwater crocodile in captivity may now pass back to Cassius, a 5.48m reptile housed at a crocodile farm near Cairns in Queensland.
