TCL Philippines Unveils an All-Star Product Duo for 2018

TCl Philippines started as a small global brand subsidiary manufacturing and distributing solely television products. From its humble beginnings, TCL Philippines is starting to step up its game in the local home appliance industry through bringing in more household appliance staples such as air conditioners and washing machines.

More Than Just a “TV” Brand

After over 18 years of being known as a “TV” brand, TCL Philippines is now offering diversified products, and delivering more than just fun and entertainment to the Filipino household. As such, TCL aims to provide the latest cooling innovations and alternative laundry solutions with its TitanGold air conditioners and TCLean washing machines, respectively.

TCL TitanGold air conditioners have been widely available in the market since 2016. TCL window type air conditioners are packed with premium features such as gold-plated louver fins, 5-in-1 health filter, and R410a refrigerant. Similarly, these features are also present in its split type line, loaded with additional features such as Full 5D DC inverter motor technology and a mosquito-repellent function.

On the other hand, TCLean washing machines are eventually gaining presence in several appliance dealers nationwide. TCL aims to promote washing clothes as a habit through providing easy, express, and efficient laundry solutions with its twin tub, top load, and front load washing machines.

In addition to its current comprehensive and competitive TV, air conditioner, and washing machine product lineups, TCL has also introduced another all-star product duo for 2018—the P6 4K UHD TV and the F2 Inverter Split Type Air Conditioner.


Taking Entertainment to the Next Level

Now emerging as the country’s Top 3 TV brand, TCL continuously proves itself to be at par with other leading brands through consistently providing the latest TV technology innovations at competitive prices.

TCL’s P6 4K UHD TV boasts of a 9.9mm ultra-slim body design with a 4.8mm super-narrow bezel. This series takes pride in being the slimmest TV, adorned with the narrowest bezel, at its price level in the Philippine TV market. The P6 series also comes in a screw-less design with an Aluminum Titanium Alloy metal casing, for a seamless and smooth finish.

The TCL P6 series is another 4K UHD TV that can decode High Dynamic Range (HDR) files via all sources. With accurate reproduction of light and dark shades, the P6 series offers a powerful picture performance through providing greater contrast, more vivid picture quality, and more realistic details. In terms of sound quality, the P6 series also does not disappoint. Loaded with a Dolby Audio technology integrated with TCL’s Smart Volume feature, the P6 series delivers an immersive 5.1 surround sound quality, for the ultimate cinematic experience right at the comfort of the viewers’ home.

Powered by TV+ OS 3.0, TCL’s P6 series also comes with an exclusive T-Cast function, enabling users to cast content from their mobile devices to the TV screen. With its latest version of TV+ App Store, users can now choose from over 200+ applications, including Netflix and YouTube, along with other video-on-demand, social networking, gaming, and photo sharing apps.


Redefining Cooling Standards

Moving on to TCL’s latest cooling solution innovations, TCL is also proud to introduce the newest member of its inverter split type air conditioner line—the F2 series. This series is also an addition to TCL’s TitanGold Collection, which consists of air conditioners that are specially designed with gold-plated louver fins, ideally built to prevent and withstand extreme rusting and corrosion.

With its pearl white finish, LED temperature display, and silver-plated border, the F2 series surely exudes elegance from all its corners. In addition, this series is also equipped with a smart WiFi control, empowering users to conveniently take control over their comfort directly through their smart devices. As such, users can easily turn their air conditioning units on or off, and set the room temperature even from the outside—simply through the use of their smart devices. Indeed, TCL has perfectly integrated style and functionality into this series.




Intensified Sports Marketing Campaign

Aside from being locally hailed as the Official TV of the PBA for four consecutive years, TCL has also formally introduced world-renowned football player, Neymar Jr., as its global brand ambassador for both TV and air conditioning products. With these, TCL aims to reach a wider audience of sports fans around the world, and further reinforce the brand’s youthful image.

With TCL Philippines’ continuously growing and expanding product lines, consumers can expect more of the latest home appliance technology innovations, made available in TCL’s wide array of products.


About TCL Philippines

Since its inception in April 2000 through the first joint venture between TCL Overseas Holding Co. Ltd. and Philippine AA Commercial (a subsidiary of Solid Group Company)., TCL Philippines has consistently introduced innovative and affordably priced home entertainment solutions into the Philippine market, that proudly displayed the brand’s promising leadership potentials. Now ranking 3rd in the Philippine TV Market, the journey to the top continues as TCL further expands its business through integrating other home appliances such as air conditioners and washing machines, into its comprehensive line of LED televisions.

More Convenient and Easy or Readily Accessible Daily Breakfast Motivates most Filipino Consumers

Herbalife Nutrition Asia Pacific Healthy Breakfast Survey, conducted in February this year with more than 5,500 respondents in 11 markets – including 500 from the Philippines; aims at uncovering insights into the attitudes and habits of eating breakfast among consumers in the region. 

The survey revealed that the majority of respondents understand the importance of a healthy breakfast in promoting their well-being and in managing their weight, however, many of them have encountered obstacles to eating it daily, and would be encouraged to eat it more regularly if it was more convenient and accessible.

Benefits of consuming breakfast

Based on the Herbalife Nutrition Asia Pacific Healthy Breakfast Survey, the majority (69 percent) of consumers in the Philippines consider breakfast extremely/very important, with 86 percent choosing it as the most important meal of the day. In comparison, only 11 percent opted for lunch and 2 percent for dinner. When asked about the benefits of consuming a healthy breakfast, 99 percent said that eating breakfast “gives them energy in the morning” while 96 percent felt that “it contributes to their personal well-being”.

Looking at the breakfast habits of consumers in the Philippines, the survey found that 84 percent do indeed make it a priority to eat their first and most important meal of the day at home, with 67 percent doing so within one to two hours of waking. The rest would just grab their breakfast either at work (10 percent) or on the way to work (4 percent). Only 2 percent of the respondents do not eat breakfast.


What are the consumers in the Philippines eating for breakfast?

The survey also showed that although 45 percent of respondents consider protein as the predominant nutrient needed in their breakfast, carbohydrates in fact made up most of the actual breakfast nutrients in the consumption pattern of the respondents. Carbohydrates such as bread or toast and hot beverages top the list of breakfast foods regularly consumed. 

Obstacles to a daily breakfast

While the survey indicated that a good majority are eating breakfast, it also found that many had encountered obstacles to eating it daily. The top three barriers are “lack of time” (44 percent), “don’t feel hungry in the morning” (30 percent) and “trying to maintain my weight” (18 percent).


To overcome these obstacles, 54 percent of the respondents said having “If my breakfast contributes to my health and well-being” and “If breakfast helps give me more energy” would help them eat breakfast daily, other motivation factors include making breakfast “readily accessible” (53 percent) or having something that is “more convenient and easy” (48 percent).

“It is heartening to see that most Asia Pacific consumers are aware of the importance of eating breakfast. At Herbalife Nutrition we believe that there are many benefits of eating a healthy breakfast daily. A healthy breakfast with balanced nutrition not only provides the much-needed nutrients for the day, but also has wide-ranging benefits in the long run, including supporting healthy metabolism, better brain health and improved weight management,” said Mr. Rosalio Valenzuela, Country Manager of Herbalife Nutrition Philippines.

“However, the survey also revealed that many are still not consuming breakfast daily. One can easily overcome the obstacles by waking up 15 minutes earlier to prepare something fast such as a protein shake. Eating a healthy breakfast regularly can really set the stage for healthier eating all day long, and promote and maintain a lifetime of wellness,” added Mr. Valenzuela.

According to the Herbalife Nutrition Philosophy, every meal consumed should have a calorie intake breakdown of 40 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent protein and 30 percent fats. Carbohydrates should include, at the very least, some fruits or vegetables.


Herbalife Nutrition Asia Pacific Wellness Tour

To educate Asia Pacific consumers on how to adopt positive nutrition habits for a healthier and happier life, Herbalife Nutrition will be conducting its ninth Asia Pacific Wellness Tour from April 13 to April 29. The Herbalife Nutrition Asia Pacific Wellness Tour features a series of medical symposia and nutrition talks held in cities across Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Korea, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.

During the Tour, Herbalife Nutrition fitness experts and members of the Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board (NAB) will share their expertise on a variety of health-related topics, with a focus on the importance of a healthy breakfast.

KZ, TJ showcase superb musicality in Vivo V9 mall tour

Singer KZ Tandingan earned new fans with her powerful performances during her stint on China’s high-rating TV show, Singer 2018. Although she did not make it to the finals, KZ made a mark with the Chinese audience, cementing her title as Asia’s Soul Supreme.

Now back in the Philippines, KZ performed for her fans at the SM Mall of Asia on April 22, Sunday, to support the launch of Vivo’s newest flagship smartphone, the V9 with a 24-megapixel AI selfie camera and more. It was her first public performance in the Philippines following her appearance on Singer 2018.

KZ and TJ - Lovebirds do make great harmony

As the crowd roared in welcome, KZ belted out her signature hits like her cover of Lorde’s “Royals,” which she performed on Singer 2018, and Air Supply’s “Two Less Lonely People in the World.” She also sang her original songs, “Labo” and “Mahal Ko o Mahal Ako.”

Vivo Philippines Brand Director Annie Lim, meanwhile, expressed the global smartphone company’s continuous support for KZ.

“Like the rest of the Filipinos, we are very proud of KZ and her achievements on Singer 2018. She embodies the brand’s personality—young, trendy, and techie. We are very happy that someone as talented as her is part of the Vivo family,” she said.

“We can’t wait to see what she’s going to do next,” Lim added.

The event was even made more special since acoustic balladeer TJ Monteverde, KZ’s equally talented boyfriend and fellow Vivo endorser, performed for the event. He sang his own compositions, “Tulad Mo,” “Kahit Kunwari,” and “Ikaw at Ako.”

TJ also had nothing but praises for her girlfriend as she introduced her on stage and encouraged the mallgoers to cheer KZ on.

“KZ deserves a loud crowd,” he said.

After the pair answered questions from the press and gave away a brand new Vivo V9, they sang their hit duet, “Ikaw at Ako Pa Rin,” which made their fans overjoyed with kilig.

KZ and TJ then went around the Perfect Shot, Perfect View Vivo V9 mall tour experience booths and greeted Vivo V9 buyers and their fans after the program. The two also surprised mallgoers when they dropped by the Vivo kiosk at the SM Cyberzone.

KZ has been a proud Vivo endorser since September 2017. She has also been active in joining Vivo in its mall tours and activities since then. TJ, on the other hand, became a Vivo endorser since May 2017.

Elken introduces Bio Pure Ultra, an innovative water filtration system

Humans are water-based organisms. The brain which initiates and coordinates neve signals involved in activities such as speech, movement, thought, and emotion is composed of 70% water. The heart which is responsible for sending the blood to the lungs and the rest of the body has 75%  water. The lungs which supply oxygen to the body and eliminate the waste product, carbon dioxide is 90% water. The blood - the body's transport system - which carries oxygen and nutrients to the tissues contain 82% water.

How essential is water to the human body?

Water is really essential for the human body to function well. It carries oxygen and nutrients to the cell, regulates body temperature and lubricates the joints for easy movement. It also aids in food digestion and helps in the proper removal of the waste from the body.

Water is the building block of good health, unfortunately, our water sources nowadays are mostly contaminated due to particulates such as mud, sand, and rust; organic chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers; biological contaminants such as bacteria, cysts and parasites and disinfectant and disinfectant by-products such as chlorine and trihalomethanes (THM).

So how can we survive in this world full of water contaminants? The answer is an effective filtration system that can supply clean and safe drinking water straight from the tap with peace of mind.

Bio Pure Ultra is the newest addition to Elken's innovative products

Elken introduces BIO PURE Ultra, a 4-stage filtration system that filters fine particles, bacteria, harmful cysts, parasites and organic chemical contaminants. Bio Pure Ultra is powered by Ultra Filter Technology, a specific type of membrane filtration in which hydrostatic pressure forces a liquid against a semi-permeable membrane. Suspended solids and solutes of high molecular weight are retained while water and low molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane.

So how does Bio Pure Ultra work?

Tap water will pass the first stage which is the Sediment Filter, a minute particulate removal process which filters particulate contaminants down to 1 micron in size. It will then go to the second stage which is the Organic Granular Activated Carbon Pre-filter to remove virtually all organic chemicals. The water will then go to stage three, the Ultra Filter which removes bacteria, cysts, microscopic worms, parasites, and other harmful organisms in addition to removing particles down to 0.1 microns in size. The last stage, which is the Organic Granular Activated Carbon Post-filter; deodorizes and "polishes" the water to improve its taste. These four stages effectively and efficiently produce clean and safe water for a healthier life.

Bio Pure Ultra launch in the Philippines

What sets Bio Pure Ultra apart from other products of its kind?

Elken Bio Pure Ultra has a stylish design and a compact size. The classic and modern design of the 4-stage filtration system in one composite unit results in space saving compact size.

It's easy to install, no plumber or other professional assistance is required.

It has a non-electric system. It does not require electrical power supply at all so you save energy and money.

It's easy to maintain. The user-friendly design allows the user to change the filters easily at anytime.

Having clean drinking water is one of the fundamental steps in ensuring we stay healthy and this excellent product from Elken will ensure that the whole family can drink great water for a healthier life.

Jollibee opens its 3rd store in Canada

There are around 200,000 Filipinos living in Toronto, which accounts for around 3% of the city's overall population.

Most of these Pinoys and even the locals in Canada's east coast got excited when Jollibee, the largest Filipino multinational chain of fast food restaurants - opened its first store in the Greater Toronto Area in early April.

Welcome to Toronto, Jollibee!

This exciting Easter treat was momentous as hundreds of Filipinos already camped-out in front of Jollibee Scarborough, located at 15 William Kitchen Road, on Saturday evening - hours before the grand opening - eager to step inside the store to savor a taste of home.

Jollibee Scarborough is the Filipino fast-food chain’s third store in Canada and the 40th store in North America. Here, residents can savor the crispylicious and juicylicious Jolly Crispy Chicken (more popularly known as Chickenjoy here in the Philippines), the tastiest and meatiest Jollibee Spaghetti, Palabok Fiesta, and the golden-brown Peach Mango Pie, among other langhap-sarap treats.

No less than Jollibee welcomed Filipinos to the store, including its very first customer, Paul, who looked forward to enjoying the Jolly Crispy Chicken for the first time in six years.

“For us, nothing brings greater joy than to bring people together over great-tasting food and happy moments. We are excited to bring to Scarborough the popular dishes that many now enjoy in different parts of the world,” said Jose Miñana, Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) group president for North America.

Hundreds of excited Pinoys spent a night outside to be the first in line as the store opens

Scarborough is home to an estimated 50,000 plus Filipinos and is one of the most popular destinations for new immigrants to reside. The Greater Toronto Area, where Scarborough is located, is the most populous metropolitan area in Canada.

“We look forward to bringing a familiar ‘taste of home’ to our countrymen in the Greater Toronto Area. Many may not know that this area is home to the largest Filipino community in Canada! And we won’t stop here – another location in Mississauga is in the pipeline for the year,” said Beth Dela Cruz, Jollibee North America vice president and general manager.

Jollibee Foods Corporation is currently the largest Asian food service company, operating in 16 markets, with over 3,800 stores globally, of which 1,272 are Jollibee brand stores. The company’s aggressive expansion plan in North America is part of its overarching goal to be among the top five restaurant brands globally.

Best Summer Steals from LatestDeals

During scorching hot summer days, we deserve some shopping therapy to ease the burden the season brings. It's not the usual shopping where we need to go to the malls or to the physical store to buy what we want but an online shopping. Online shopping is better on summer because we need not brave the heavy traffic and the burning heat of the sun outside. We can just comfortably sit on the couch or lie on our bed and let our hands and fingers do the rest.

One of the best sites for online shopping this summers is the LatestDeals UK. It is a community of bargain hunters sharing genuine deals, vouchers, freebies, and competitions. The site features a wide variety of products from beauty, fashion, and food to home improvement, technology, travel and so much more. Whatever kind of shopper you are, there's always a right item for you to find at their site.

LatestDeals will redirect shoppers for the best deals and steals from their partner retailers making it easier for shoppers to find what they love and what they need at a much lower price.

So what are my top 5 picks from LatestDeals this summer?

I am an advocate for self-love and self-care so my first 2 picks came from the beauty and health category.

1. Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Shine Lacquer is now on sale for only £1.87. It originally costs £5, you save £3.13.

This Soap and Glory lip lacquer is special veggie esters which leave a soft, filmy, glass-like shine on the lips for enhanced color adherence. It is powered by a technology that does not only moisturize but repair as well and it features a 3-dimensional network that firms, sculpts and stimulates collagen synthesis.

2. Medicarn Eye Massager Portable Eye Care Alleviate Fatigue Electric Eye & Temple Massager, costs only £2.99 from the original price of £16.99! Wow, that's a lot of savings!

This tool helps in promoting blood circulation to alleviate eye puffiness, dark circles & wrinkles. It relaxes brain nerve and improves blood circulation to help insomniac to aid asleep.

Of course, the next 2 items would be something for the kids to enjoy this summer.

National Swap Meet 2 : the best place for collectors and hobbyists of all ages

There are usually 4 types of audience in an event.

First, of course, are the Kids ages 4 - 12. They are the type of audience who are easily influenced by the media. They buy according to what they see on tv, on the internet, magazines or what they hear over the radio. They actually have the greatest convincing power, but that power is still dependent on the parents.

The 2nd National Swap Meet : For Collectors, By Collectors was a kid-friendly event

Second are teens 13 - 20 years old. This type of audience can already decide on their own and they buy items based on their area of interest and own preference. They are also not too dependent on the parents as they already know how to save money for the toys they want, from Php500.00 up to php1,500.00

The third type is the Yuppies or Collectors aged 21 - 30. They are the type who already have the spending power because most of them already have a job or they already know how to earn money out of their own ability. They buy real collectible items and considers quality and legitimacy. They can also spend as much as P1,500.00 up to php5,000; sometimes even more.

Fourth is the Adults or Professional collectors. These people can buy rare finds whose prices are higher than any other items for sale. They can buy for themselves or even for other people and they can easily spend above Php5,000.

Actress, entrepreneur and fitness trainor Regine Tolentino also joined the event. Het stuff is perfect for cosplayers - from the headress, to costumes and accessories

Last April 13 -15, 2018 all these types of audience gathered together at the 2nd National Swap Meet : For Collectors, By Collectors held in Megatrade Hall 1, SM Megamall. The event once more, featured more than 50 brand participants and around a hundred booths with a vast display of various collectibles like toys, action figures, antiques, vintage items, books, prints, merchandise and a lot of unique finds that collectors and hobbyists of all ages can purchase, swap or auction. 

There was also beauty finds such as products from Diana Stalder for the men and women who are fans of skincare. Beauty and skincare products are also worth collecting, right?The GSM Blue and Primera Brandy booth - Bar 1834 - which offered overflowing alcoholic drinks for the adults was also something that oenophiles, aficionados, and connoisseurs, would be interested in.

There was also an auction where the audience can bid for as low as P1.00! Just like the first National Swap Meet, an exciting program of activities and entertainment were provided to everyone such as, fun and games, various talks and panel discussions which provided gainful information and new ideas in the world of collecting as a hobby; as well as live performances.

Diana Stalder, a brand offering a wide range of beauty and skincare products and services, also supported the National Swap meet 2. 

The event becomes an ideal rendezvous for collectors meeting other collectors of similar interests, for the second time. The event catered to all types of audience and spectators as there were right items for everyone's interest. I personally saw how visitors got curious and excited about what's in store for them, and they end up happy swappers and shoppers. 

The event is not just an avenue to create camaraderie to all types and kinds of collectors but it also became a place to show support to our fellows with special needs. Since toys are a visual item for children that can be a bridge or a way for children to communicate with each other regardless of any disabilities, organizers of the event chose Link Center for the Deaf as the beneficiary and will receive a portion of the proceeds from the auctions.

Link Center for the Deaf delivers an integrated support program and provide scholarships to underprivileged deaf children, their teachers, and parents. They forge partnerships and linkages and provide relevant information to advocate for support and active participation of individuals and organizations in the empowerment and integration of deaf people in the community.

The National Swap Meet 2 was indeed the perfect weekend bonding place for the whole family. Everybody got to enjoy the experience and their eyes feasted on a lot of new and rare finds, plus they somehow helped their fellow Filipinos in need in their own ways. 

National Swap Meet 2 was produced and organized by ArtisteSpace Inc. in collaboration with the Philippines Toy Groups Association.
