BEAR BRAND Powdered Milk Drink, continuing efforts to help nourish generations of Filipino families to good health, has added a new dimension to its TIBAY campaign with the launch of its 1st children’s book entitled Ang Alamat ng Matibay, which highlights the importance of tibay ng kalooban.


Nestle Bear Brand Launch the ALAMAT NG MATIBAY BOOK held at the Museum Pambata, November 19, 2014 with Executives from Nestlé Philippines, partner organizations and celebrity brand ambassador Marvin Agustin.

A Samsung washing machine to cater to every laundry need

Samsung Digital Appliances shared to us moms the new technology that can make us happier at home during our enjoyable housing activities. With the new Samsung all-in-one washing machine, do laundry with less time, effort and worry.

In today’s fast-paced world, doing the laundry has become a mechanical task, especially for Filipino moms who are most often tasked with this responsibility. Most have developed a routine for clothes washing, such as separating white from colored clothes, hand washing delicate garments, pre-soaking stained items, and ensuring that clothes for dry cleaning go to professional cleaners which may be necessary but quite inconvenient to do.

Despite their familiarity with the basic functions of a washing machine, many users of washing machines don’t realize that several factors can affect its ability to clean clothes as well as its performance.

One important factor is time. The longer the boosting time of the machine, the more energy it wastes. Another is temperature. The higher the temperature, the more energy is wasted. It also increases the risk factor of clothes getting damaged. Third is the mechanical action, which, if there is too much of it, can cause fabric damage. Last is detergent action. Too much detergent leaves residue, which could damage fabrics, as well as post a threat to the environment.

In short, one’s choice of a washing machine could mean many things for the family. While basic washing machines can perform expected cleaning functions, new technological innovations now allow for more effective, efficient, flexible and convenient laundry cleaning options.

For instance, choosing the right washing machine could mean lower electricity and water bills, as well as less worn clothes.

For Filipino mothers, choosing a washing machine that meets her household’s unique needs could mean less time spent doing the laundry, which translates into more bonding time with the family on weekends.

Recognizing that modern homes have varied cleaning needs and would benefit from smart washing solutions, Samsung has introduced an array of washing machines that can cater to every household’s laundry requirement, as well as lessen the hassle of multitasking moms.

Samsung Fully Automatic Front Load Washer

For those moms who are tired of dealing with stained garments, the Samsung Fully Automatic WW5000 Front Load Washer answers their need. It offers powerful cleaning capabilities while still remaining gentle on clothes. The Samsung Fully Automatic WW5000 Front Load Washer features two innovative technologies that provide the best-in-class laundry experience – EcoBubble Technology and Stain Away Program.

Samsung EcoBubble Technology allows for the even distribution of detergent and deeply penetrates the fabric faster than highly concentrated liquid detergent. This allows clothes to be washed in cold water, significantly reducing energy consumption. By completely dissolving the detergent, it allows for easier rinsing and minimizes detergent residue and stains. EcoBubble promises no loss of wash performance and allows laundry to be done faster and more efficiently, giving mom extra time to do other chores or spend time for herself.

Stain Away, on the other hand, is a pre-programmed cycle with settings that help remove common household stains that moms usually have a difficult time cleaning, such as cocoa, blood, tea, wine, coffee, make-up and grass. Working together with EcoBubble Technology, stains can be cleaned effectively in one simple cycle with the special bubble soaking stage. Frothy bubbles penetrate deep into the fabric fibers to loosen dirt and stains.




Samsung Fully Automatic Top Load Washer

To cater to each moms laundry need, there are several Samsung Fully Automatic Top Load Washing Machine models with different features to choose from:

First is the Samsung Fully Automatic Top Load WA16F759, which features Wobble technology. Wobble technology protects delicate fabrics from friction damage without compromising washing performance.


The Wobble pulastor’s unique structure generates a dynamic, multi-directional washing flow to prevent tangles, twists and knots while thoroughly cleaning clothes. The WA16F759’s Digital Inverter technology ensures durability and saves on energy as well. It’s large capacity 16kg. also allows moms to save laundry time.

For moms who pre-wash heavily soiled clothes, the Samsung Fully Automatic Top Load WA4000HH is a smart choice.

This all-in-one washing machine features practical innovations such as the ActivDualWash, on top of Wobble Technology, that allows laundry to be done with less time, efforts and worry.

The ActivDualWash feature equips the machine with a wash sink with a built-in side water jet. The wash sink provides a convenient and dedicated space to hand-wash delicate items and pre-wash heavily soiled clothes before regular wash. The built-in side water can be started and stopped with a simple press of a button for maximum convenience.



Since the household budget is a universal concern among Filipinos, most of Samsung’s Fully Automatic Washing Machines is equipped with Digital Inverter Technology. The Digital Inverter Motor has minimal moving parts, making it breakdown resistant. Magnet utilization makes it more efficient, increasing energy saving and guaranteeing durability. An 11-year warranty also ensures long-lasting washing machines with fewer chances of malfunctions.

For moms looking for an alternative to regular hand washing, Samsung’s Twin Tub offers a more convenient solution. It allows users to hand wash and pre wash clothes in one machine, as it features a dedicated wash tray on the machine itself. Its body is made of non-corrosive, rust proof plastic, keeping it in tip-top condition despite being exposed to the elements outside of the home, where most machines in the Philippines are kept. An Air-Turbo Spin-Drying system also helps reduce drying time by rotating the drum at high-speed, drawing in more air so clothes dry faster, even in humid climates.

These features on these smart washing machines will definitely benefit all the mothers who want to have the cleanest clothes for their families, minus the hassles and added expenses.

So for all laundry needs, Samsung has got it all covered. Samsung Digital Appliances, Your partner in building a happier home.
