LGEPH, in partnership with Intramuros Administration, showcases history in an entirely different perspective in the newly opened Museo de Intramuros

History was made yet again as the Intramuros Administration (IA), the government agency tasked for the orderly restoration, management, development, and promotion of Intramuros as a national heritage, celebrated its 40th Anniversary in the recently opened Museo de Intramuros.

To celebrate the momentous occasion together with IA, LG Philippines made their presence felt as they simultaneously unveiled their newest line of state of the art OLED TVs, putting side by side our rich and colorful history together with tomorrow’s technology. LG PH Managing Director Inkwun Heo led the festivities as he formally handed over six (6) units of the LG TVs to the museum. Mr. Heo went on to say “This 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the Philippines and the Republic of Korea. Throughout the seven (7) decades of friendship between the 2 nations, we’ve been championing the importance of culture. We at LG Philippines remain committed in doing our part to preserve and showcase Philippine history. We hope that through the integration of our industry leading OLED TV technology with riveting historically significant content, we are able to communicate to audiences, both old and new, the importance of Intramuros and Philippine history as a whole”.

Present during the event was Atty. Guiller Asido, Administrator of the Intramuros Administration, who was ecstatic about the educational possibilities of the TV donations. Referring to the event’s official hashtag #TheTVThatUnderstandsYou, he quips “I would like to rephrase our hashtag, this is not just the TV that understands you — it is the TV that understands the history and culture of the Filipino people.”

Also unveiled during the program was another gift of LG to IA: a special AVP made by TBA Studios, the creative geniuses behind local hit movies Heneral Luna and GOYO. The video which featured Museo De Intramuros was directed by JP Habac with cinematography by Pong Ignacio. Habac and Ignacio were awe-struck with how vivid the color rendition of the LG OLED TVs was. “Every bit of detail is seen the way it’s supposed to be seen. The dynamic range is really something to behold”, says Habac. LG commissioned the video featuring the Department of Tourism Sec. Bernadette Romulo-Puyat and museum curator Dino Santos to showcase the enchanting beauty of Intramuros through its crystal-clear OLED displays. You can watch TBA Studios’ masterful take on the Walled City.

LG’s newest line of TVs is powered by never before seen cutting-edge technology. With Deep Learning technology now embedded in their new α9 Gen2 & α7 Gen2 processors) – the TV, through intuitive recognition, can understand how to optimize and enhance the picture and sound for any content. The AI feeds on data and adapts accordingly, giving you the most optimal viewing experience possible. With the Deep Learning technology, the LG TV can understand how to display best picture quality from any source and resolution.
LG’s AI doesn’t just stop at picture quality. You can also talk to your TV. When you press the microphone button on your remote, LG’s ThinQ AI listens to your commands and executes them, even those based on an earlier “conversation”. From simple TV controls, weather questions, or you can create follow-up questions based on your initial command and the ThinQ AI will still carry-on the conversation. James Deakin, LG’s Brand Ambassador, gamely demonstrated the AI capabilities of the TV onstage, as he issued commands and questions one after the other. “This is as smart as smart TVs can get. LG is ahead of the game in pushing the boundaries of innovation and technology”.
If that wasn’t enough, LG’s flagship OLED TVs also have LG’s award-winning OLED Panel Technology that works seamlessly with Deep Learning Technology. Sound quality is boosted by an intelligent algorithm that can up-mix two-channel audio to deliver convincing virtual 5.1 surround sound. Deep learning significantly improves output by analyzing source content to produce enhanced sound effects in movies, deeper bass in music and clearer voices in sporting events. Users can adjust the sound to suit viewing conditions or let the TV set the best sound levels based on the environment.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) is made possible with the help of Dolby Atmos for incredibly realistic sound as the TV intelligently fine-tunes content compatible with Dolby Vision. The TV supports HDMI 2.1, allowing viewers the opportunity to enjoy 4K content at a blazing fast 60 frames per second. The TV also supports automatic low latency mode (ALLM), variable refresh rate (VRR), and enhanced audio return channel (eARC).
With the release of their flagship OLED TV, LG takes another step ahead in their vision of a truly interconnected smart home. As the Internet of Things grow day by day, LG has answered the call to provide personalized, proactive, efficient, and easy solutions, while seamlessly incorporating integrated multifunctional technology into your life. Powered by the ThinQ Artificial Intelligence technology, these innovations work together in sync and in perfect harmony, adapting to your needs every step of the way.

World Vision and Procter & Gamble in partnership with Department of Education Malabon Division Office launched “Pag-asa sa Basura”

In line with the back-to-school season, World Vision and Procter & Gamble (P&G) Philippines together with Department of Education Malabon Division Office launched the “Pag-asa sa Basura” campaign, a sustainable waste collection and recycling system targeting several schools in Metro Manila. The project will be done in 25 chosen schools in Malabon and Quezon City.

The participating schools will be outfitted with school-based materials recovery facilities (MRF) for various solid waste materials including sachet packaging. The students who will be participating in the campaign are encouraged to bring sachets to receive incentives such as school supplies. Furthermore, the profits that will be collected from the MRF will be used for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WaSH) programs like improvements in their handwashing facilities and WaSH education.

This initiative will not only be benefiting the children but also saving the environment with the goal of preventing at least one million pieces of sachets going to the ocean. Educators, students, and parents will also be trained on the principles of solid waste management specifically recycling.

Official representatives who joined the event were Cynthia Ayles, Schools Division Superintendent/ OIC of DepEd Malabon, Eliseo Raymundo, Head for School Governance and Operations Division, Anna Legarda, Head of Communications of Procter & Gamble, Jun Godornes, Resource Development Director of World Vision Philippines, and Principals from the 20 participating schools in Malabon.

”World Vision Philippines is so blessed with the success of all of our initiatives with our partners and on behalf of our organization, I would like to thank them for their unwavering support to our advocacy.

Mastercard and The SM Store promote safer and faster payments via contactless technology

Beginning today until September 30, 2019, Mastercard, in partnership with The SM Store, will run a promotion to encourage shoppers to make payments using their contactless-enabled Mastercard credit cards. The contactless cards can be identified through a symbol on the card face that is similar to the Wi-Fi symbol, albeit turned sideways. Shoppers using the contactless Mastercard credit cards stand a chance to win PhP 1,000-worth of gift cards when they make a one-time purchase worth PhP 3,000.00 or an installment purchase with a total value of PhP 5,000.00.

Though still in its infancy in the Philippines, contactless payments are already widely used in other countries such as Singapore, Australia, and England. Payments via contactless cards are fulfilled by simply tapping the card on a point-of-sale (POS) terminal. For low value transactions, no PIN or signature is required; cardholders can simply Tap & GoTM. Faster checkout lines are now made possible even during The SM Store’s famous 3-Day Sales, thanks to contactless payment technology. Therefore, this payment method is deemed effective in grocery and convenience stores, cinemas and gas stations where long queues can be curtailed through quicker payment transactions.

In the Philippines, transactions beyond Php 2,000 require the cardholder’s signature as a layer of security from unauthorised transactions. It is important to note that shoppers will be billed only once even if they accidentally tap on the point-of-sale terminal multiple times. The EMV chip embedded in the card effectively safeguards card details as it creates dynamic data every time a transaction is made, making it nearly impossible for fraudsters to duplicate or clone the card.

Contactless technology not only makes transactions more convenient than fumbling for cash or  counting loose coins at the checkout, but also much safer because they are protected by Mastercard with global zero liability promise and will not be liable for unauthorized charges.

Through such innovations, not only do customers benefit but, Mastercard enables merchant partners to do business with greater efficiency while at the same time ensuring safety as transactions are processed.

Discover and Dance: Gardenia Teams Up with Groove Central Dance Studio

There are just some things that naturally come in pairs. Milk and cookies, black and white, peanut butter and jelly. But what about dance and snacks? At first this might come off as an odd pair--but it actually works! Especially when each half of this combination is legendary in their own right.

Case in point: the recent collaboration of Groove Central Dance Studio and Gardenia during the former’s 13th Summer Dance Workshop. A leading dance studio in the country that has helped develop talents like the internationally-acclaimed VPeepz (who finished fourth on World of Dance US), Groove Central recently concluded its summer recital that ran for seven weeks with Gardenia--another game changer in the arena of food and snacks. The brand has earned a reputation for being an innovative name in the industry with its roster of products, but it is their latest one, the Pocket Sandwich, which took the spotlight together with the dance studio’s more than 800 performers who participated in the culminating event.

It’s more than just their shared claim on being the leaders of their industries that ties Gardenia and Groove Central together though. The brands actually have a shared mission, which is to discover and help harness the talents of kids. For Groove Central, it’s all about letting their participants discover their love and ability in the art of dance. Gardenia, on the other hand, is focused on creating a pocket full of fun discoveries together with the Pocket Sandwich.

Coaches Vimi Rivera and Shayna Young-Rivera who spearheaded the event expressed their happiness about the successful turnout of the partnership. Coach Vimi shares, “The partnership that we have with Gardenia has been very effective and helpful. The kids really enjoyed these snacks before and after their practice or even brought some to share for their families at home.”

Gardenia helps parents provide their kids with healthy snacks minus the prep time so they can have more time to bond with them and to discover their talents like the ones showcased during the recital.

Some of the teams who showed off their swag during the recital were 917 Crew, Lit, GellaJesse, Project Groove, and Legit Status. Led by their own dedicated coaches, each crew wowed the crowd with their routines which they have managed to learn and master in less than two months.

Gardenia and Groove Central may be an unlikely pair, but it’s a partnership that definitely works thanks to their shared goal. Whether it’s about busting some killer moves or sharing good bonding moments over a snack, both are dedicated--and now accomplished--in inspiring the hunger for discovery.

Beat the rainy days with these laundry hacks

The rainy season is a challenge for many moms especially when it comes to drying the laundry.  Since drying clothes outdoors is out of the question, bringing them indoors after washing becomes commonplace.

But hanging freshly washed clothes indoors can leave them with a distinct and unpleasant odor. Moreover, wet clothes can cause a build-up of bacteria making them unsafe especially for infants.

That is why Beko Philippines, Europe’s leading brand of washers, shares some simple tips to keep your clothes clean, fresh-smelling and safe to wear.

Use Fabric Conditioner
Soak clothes in fabric conditioner during the rinse cycle. Fabric softeners not only leave clothes soft, but it also leaves them smelling fresh even if hung out to dry indoors preventing that all-too-familiar and unpleasant “kulob” odor. There are also fabric conditioners that have anti-microbial properties that leave clothes not only fragrant but bacteria-free.

Hang Clothes Properly
Where you hang them in the house also helps. Look for an area where there is good ventilation so the clothes get as much air as possible. Never hang them in cramped and enclosed spaces. Heavy pieces, such as jeans, towels, and carpets should be placed near the windows where air flows through. It is also worthwhile to ensure that the room where they hang in get good ventilation overall.

Give them a good wringing
Before you hang them, make sure that you’ve given them a thorough wringing. Clothes that are still quite wet not only dry longer, but they also smell bad even when already dry.

Choose the right dryers
Lastly, invest in the right dryer. Choose a dryer that can eliminate bacteria that cause can be harmful to your family. What’s more, they also maintain the fresh smell of the fabric conditioners you use, so your clothes smell fragrant.

Beko’s new 10kg. heat pump automatic dryer DH10444RX0 features the latest technological innovation to help you keep your clothes fresh and your family safe from harmful pathogens while saving on energy.

The DH10444RX0 has the AquaWave® technology that generates a wave-like motion using a set of paddles to increase drying performance as it moves garments around.

It also optimizes the drying cycle with an OptiSense® technology, a technological innovation that lets you choose between three smart sensors for drying clothes, with one sensor automatically stopping the machine when the right level of dryness has been achieved.

Beko’s DH10444RX0 keeps you clothes crease-free with its Auto Anti-Creasing feature that spins clothes gently with a gentle drum action.

Lastly, the DH10444RX0 comes with a Child Lock feature to prevent young ones from changing the settings on the dryer.

Beko Philippines advocates for healthy living through the technologies installed in their appliances. The company’s refrigerators, washers, and ovens come equipped with advanced features that are designed to not only improve efficiency but also, optimize time, cost, and energy so that people can prioritize their health and wellbeing.

With You Through Every Tomorrow: How Wyeth Nutrition nourishes a healthier generation

To empower parents in providing their children with the foundation they need to build a healthier future, Wyeth Nutrition has released “With You Through Every Tomorrow,” a video to inspire parents with the promise of the future, and the different ways in which the company’s brands can help nourish healthier tomorrows for their children.

“With You Through Every Tomorrow” shows typical Filipino families in familiar settings going through the ups and downs of the parenting journey – a couple going through the wonders of pregnancy; a child’s determined attempts to perfect a craft; a parent’s steady and guiding hand throughout a child’s learning journey; and a parent’s pride with a child’s every achievement.   In the background, an original musical composition captures the bond between a parent and a child, made stronger with the promise of every tomorrow.

The video was developed as part of Wyeth Nutrition’s efforts to help parents understand their roles in addressing the nutritional requirements of their children to help them reach their full potential and live healthier lives. It gently reminds parents of the importance of their presence and support, as well as that of proper nutrition.

“Wyeth Nutrition is an expert in nutrition that Filipino parents have always trusted, and through this video, we hope to remind parents that we remain their committed partner in bringing up their children to be healthy and ready for the challenges of the future,” said Migs Marfori, Wyeth Nutrition’s Creative Content Manager.

Backed by its expertise in nutrition innovation, Wyeth Nutrition offers solutions that meet the evolving needs of children and their families, drawing from its expertise in understanding and providing for their nutritional needs. In so doing, Wyeth Nutrition hopes to nourish healthier tomorrows for Filipino families for generations to come.

“We are committed to advancing nutrition innovation by developing high-quality nutritional products that are scientifically designed to address the changing needs of Filipino families,” said Miko Acuña, Wyeth Nutrition’s Head of Communications.

Watch this heartwarming video to gain a little inspiration, as together, we nourish healthier tomorrows for our children. Check out their official Youtube and Facebook pages.

Original Cake, The Most Popular Taiwanese Castella Cake Shop, Opens at Ayala Malls Circuit Makati

Finally the delectable smell of freshly baked Taiwanese Castella Cakes is now here at Makati. Original Cake opens its third store at Ayala Malls Circuit Makati!

Last January 2019, Original Cake Taiwanese Castella Cake Shop opened its doors to the Filipinos in SM San Lazaro. Their cakes are made with simple and all-natural ingredients like egg, milk, vegetable oil, sugar and flour from Taiwan. Each fluffy cake uses the same ingredients as the perfect base and is baked fresh everyday in front of customers who quickly line up as soon as a tray of freshly baked cake is pulled out from the oven. Bakers shout “lai! dan gao chu lu wei! (来！蛋糕出炉喂！)” which literally means, “The cake is coming out of the oven!” in Chinese.

Original Cake started in 2010 as a single outlet from the scenic riverside of Tamsui Old Street, Taiwan and has grown to three outlets in Taiwan and expanded to countries such as Singapore, Indonesia and here in the Philippines.

What’s more? Last April 2019, Erich Gonzales has agreed and signed up to be Original Cake Philippines’s official endorser. This shows that Original Cake is here in the Philippines to stay!

To fulfill Original Cake’s vision to serve high-quality, freshly baked cakes to Filipinos everywhere, they will be opening more stores all across Metro Manila: SM City Manila, SM City Sucat and Robinson Galleria!

With fluffy texture, creamy mouthfeel and aroma of eggs and milk, these castella cakes come in three different flavors– Original Cake
The purest form of all cakes, this is made from a golden mixture of fresh eggs, milk, and flour. The cakes with original flavor brings out childhood memories when you look forward to snack time. Take a bite and experience the taste of happiness.

Golden Cheese Cake
With two layers of Anchor sliced cheese filling plus cheese powder sprinkled on top, the silky texture brings to you nothing but delightfully fresh and elegantly simple cheese flavor; it is also low in sugar and low in fat which makes it ideal for the whole family to enjoy.

Chocolate Cake
Brimming over with rich chocolate smell and creamy mouthfeel, the dark bittersweet Hershey’s chocolate chips in the cakes not only convey rich chocolate flavor but teem with the magic of happiness. The cocoa powder used in this recipe is even imported from Holland to ensure the rich quality of chocolate taste.

Aside from cakes, there’s a limited edition crunchy treat which Original Cake produces in small batches. The Snowflake Crisp is made from the mix of superfoods cranberries and dates, combined with biscuits, marshmallows, mixed cream and milk powder which gives it that crunchy and chewy texture. It is sweet, a little milky, and crispy!

Original Cake is now available in 2nd Level SM City San Lazaro, LGF Parkway SM Fairview and Ground floor near lagoon, Ayala mall Circuit.
