Here’s why Beko appliances is true pro Judy Ann Santos Agoncillo’s choice

Actress, entrepreneur, influencer and cook Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo chose to endorse global European appliance brand Beko because its values are aligned with her own. As Beko’s first ambassador in the Philippines, Judy Ann embodies the brand’s drive and purpose to inspire people to live healthy and sustainable lifestyles.

Being a hands-on mom to her three kids, a celebrity and an entrepreneur can be challenging for someone like Judy Ann, who is very goal-oriented and determined. Thanks to Beko appliances, Judy Ann is able to do the things she wants to do as she lives her best life.

Judy Ann believes healthy living begins at home and one of her goals for 2022 is to make sure her family is always healthy and immune from diseases. Judy Ann also owns two Angrydobo restaurants and has 1.69 million followers on her YouTube cooking channel Judy Ann’s Kitchen. As someone who tackles different roles on screen and in real life, Judy Ann is a true pro because she knows what she wants and she works hard to achieve her goals.

“Kagaya ng Beko, I focus on healthy living for myself and my family. Being Beko’s brand ambassador has taught me that appliances can be great tools in helping you to eat healthier. I have three growing kids with different tastes when it comes to food and it can be challenging. Dapat lagi kang handa,” said the actress.

If it’s possible to fall in love with a refrigerator, then Judy Ann has definitely fallen in love with Beko’s fridge freezer with HarvestFresh technology.

HarvestFresh is Beko’s unique crisper drawer technology that uses an innovative three-color light system to mimic the 24-hour sun cycle. This keeps fruits and vegetables in their natural original environment long after they’ve been harvested, preserving the vitamins they contain and freshness for longer.

“I can buy more fruits unlike before with my old ref. Oranges, for instance, stay fresh longer in the HarvestFresh crisper. They stay fresh without losing any nutrients! If I see a good deal on oranges, I get a lot since all my kids love it. This means lesser trips to the supermarket and more time to spend with my family,” said Judy Ann.

Judy Ann is also amazed at the cosmetic box in Beko refrigerators and this is where she keeps her skincare products. Pro tip from the actress: Keep your face mist in the cosmetic box and spray when needed this summer.

Having clean and fresh clothes is a priority in the Santos-Agoncillo household. With three active kids, the laundry can pile up.

“Kailangan laging washed ang laundry because they change frequently when they’re indulging in outdoor activities,” Judy Ann.

As a cook, Judy Ann’s favorites are the Beko cookers and ovens.

“Pinaka-importante sa akin ang reliable na cooker at oven. Dapat hindi ka nila biguin, ever. I remember making lasagna for my YouTube content with my old oven and it wouldn’t cook evenly! I have no such problems with my Beko oven,” said Judy Ann.

Pro tip: Go for appliances with inverter motors so you save money on your power bill. The Inverter Compressor works in all weather conditions with less energy usage while Beko’s washers with ProSmart Inverter Motor do not use 30% less energy than EPA standards.

“We are very happy that Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo has found the perfect Beko appliances for her home and family. We chose her to be our first brand ambassador in the Philippines because as a hands-on mom, wife and homemaker, she needs appliances that can keep up with her commitment to healthy living,” said Gürhan Günal, Country Manager of Beko Pilipinas Corporation.

Present in more than 140 countries, Beko has been focusing on healthy living for years, raising awareness and developing products that make healthy living possible and convenient to empower the new generations to live healthier. Beko produces products that inspire a healthy lifestyle, from nutrient-saving kitchen appliances, to refrigerators that preserve food better for longer.

Beko is available in select All Home, Anson’s, Appliance Centrum, Asian Home Appliance, Automatic Center, Fair N Square, Goldtech (S&R), Great World, HAT, Lazada, Manila Imperial, Robinsons Appliance (Landers), Savers, Shopee, SM Appliance and Western Appliance. This year, Beko will be made available soon in other appliance stores nationwide as it continues to expand its distribution to other retail channels.

Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation makes education accessible to grassroots communities with 100th ALS Center

Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation, Inc. (CLFI) launched its 100th Alternative Learning System-Community Learning Center (CLC) in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd) Schools Division of Marawi City

REBUILDING RESILIENT COMMUNITIES THROUGH EDUCATION. Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation (CLFI) supports the rehabilitation of Marawi by providing learning tools and devices in Amai Pakpak Central Elementary School (APCES) for its alternative learning sessions. In the photo: (L-R) Fatime Mognie, Chief of the Curriculum Implementation Division; Anna Zenaida Unte-Alonto, OIC of Schools Division Superintendent; Amai Pakpak Central Elementary School teachers and ALS educators.

Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation, Inc. (CLFI), the social responsibility arm of Cebuana Lhuillier, the largest micro financial service provider in the country, celebrated the launching of its 100th Alternative Learning System-Community Learning Center (ALS-CLC) at Amai Pakpak Elementary School in Marawi City.

The 2017-armed conflict caused massive destruction that displaced a great majority of Marawi city’s population. As the local community leaders work towards rebuilding the lives of affected individuals and families, CLFI extended assistance to Department of Education (DepEd) Schools Division Office of Marawi to foster recovery and learning continuity amid present conditions. CLFI donated ICT equipment and supplies for the ALS teachers in Amai Pakpak Central Elementary School.

“As part of its inclusion advocacy, CLFI is always committed to provide accessible quality education for all, especially for the underserved Filipinos. To significantly help the rehabilitation efforts of Marawi, we focused our efforts on education—ensuring that children and adult learners have access to basic education,” said Jean Henri Lhuillier, President and CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier.

To fully equip the newly established ALS-CLC in Marawi City, CLFI donated learning tools and devices, including laptops, printers, LED TV, Wi-Fi routers, and load cards -- which will further enable ALS teachers to facilitate online and modular learning sessions for 400 registered ALS learners.

OIC of Schools Division Superintendent, Anna Zenaida Unte-Alonto, receives the learning tools donated by Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation Inc.

“The entirety of the city schools division of Marawi would like to extend our deepest gratitude to our great partner, Cebuana Lhuillier. All these will help our educators and learners to adapt to the new system of education under the new normal,” OIC Schools Division Superintendent, Anna Zenaida Unte-Alonto said.

Driven by its advocacy to make education accessible, CLFI has always been a staunch supporter of DepEd’s ALS program. Since 2013, CLFI has been supporting ALS community learning centers to give out-of-school youth and adult learners a second chance at education.

“The 100th ALS-CLC sponsored by the Foundation is a testament to our firm belief that all Filipinos should have access to quality education. We are elated to see how the company’s advocacy for education can uplift both young and adult learners and help improve their lives,” First Vice President and Group Head for CLFI, Jonathan Batangan said.

Living up to its potential, POCO F4 GT delivers an impressively apex performance with a flagship 4nm Snapdragon® 8 Gen 1 processor, backed by a sophisticated LiquidCool Technology 3.0, a flat AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, magnetic pop-up triggers, and topped off by 120W HyperCharge. Meanwhile, POCO Buds Pro Genshin Impact Edition offers the most immersive listening experience for smartphone users - especially mobile gamers and Genshin Impact fans - with an all-new design, AI self-adaptive noise cancellation and 28-hour ultra-long battery life[1]. In addition, the new POCO Watch, which has more than 100 fitness modes built in, a 24-hour heart rate tracker and a battery life of up to 14 days, is designed for fitness lovers who care about their personal health and well-being[2].

POCO F4 GT: Apex flagship smartphone that offers unsurpassed performance

With a flagship 4nm Snapdragon® 8 Gen 1 processor and an octa-core processor running at 3.0 GHz, POCO F4 GT is sure to win over the tech savvy youth, especially hardcore gamers. The mighty Android chipset increases CPU performance by 20% and GPU performance by up to 50%. Meanwhile, POCO F4 GT offers a fully fledged LPDDR5 RAM with up to 6400Mbps for shorter load times, along with an upgraded UFS 3.1 ROM.

The true test for a mobile gaming smartphone is heat management. Requiring a small device to run for extended periods can lead to poor performance. For this reason, POCO F4 GT is equipped with the latest LiquidCool Technology 3.0, one of the most advanced cooling systems in the industry. The 4,860mm² dual VC cooling system manages to bring down high temperatures, culminating from a powerful machine optimized to run intense gaming sessions[3].

To feed the power, POCO F4 GT boasts POCO’s first 120W HyperCharge and a 4,700mAh big battery, which can be fully charged in 17 minutes. And if gamers need more juice in mid-game, POCO F4 GT can replenish its battery to 100% in only 27 minutes[4]. Not only does POCO F4 GT sport rapid recharge times, the battery’s lifespan can be optimally preserved as a benefit of its AdaptiveCharge feature. This feature prevents the battery from overcharging in the critical 80% to 100% charge range throughout the night[5].

Magnetic triggers pop up, standing tall in preparation for battle. The setup has surpassed expectations. The unique levitating magnetic pop-up triggers, able to handle 1.5 million times press, have been tested on more than 100 popular games[6]. This ensures unbeatable stability, responsiveness and durability. To attain a more premium gaming experience, the CyberEngine, one of the best linear motor available on Android smartphone, offers more ranges of vibration. POCO F4 GT is ready for whatever users may throw at it, not only for the extended sessions of mobile gaming also in daily use. When out of gaming mode, the triggers can also be used as a shortcut for quick access on the go, such as a shortcut to activate camera, screen recording or flashlight.

At the press of a button, users can turn on the screen to be floored by POCO’s latest 6.67-inch flat AMOLED and 10-bit TrueColor display, which when combined with the responsive 480Hz touch sampling rate and the up to 120Hz refresh rate, makes the screen come to life. Whether gaming or streaming shows, the true-to-life color spectrum leaps from the screen. POCO F4 GT also works to simultaneously maintain color accuracy in low-light settings while using high-frequency PWM dimming to protect its users’ eyes during marathon screen time sessions. POCO F4 GT's display has set and matched 15 display performance records from Display Mate and is rated as A+ screen.

True to its nature as an apex of power, POCO is adding one more service to its list of inaugural features for the latest device. Users can enjoy the premium after-sales service, which offering one-time free screen repair service during the first 6 months after purchase. In addition, YouTube's subscription service, YouTube Premium, will come pre-installed on POCO F4 GT. To sweeten the deal, customers can enjoy YouTube Premium for up to two months free. That means two months of ad-free, offline viewing, and uninterrupted access to video and music content across the Youtube platform.
