Christmas Tree Lighting at the Bayview Park Hotel

Tweet

A merry celebration with sleighs, reindeers and everything bright and also with the "Bay Divas" entertain us with Christmas songs.

The traditional Christmas Tree Lighting at the Bayview Park Hotel held on Tuesday morning, November 19, 2019 with everything bright, sleighs, reindeers and bay Divas. 

Every year, families and friends here at the Bayview Park Hotel always put on a great celebration for the holidays with themed decors and unforgettable programs. 

This December, It's all reindeers with red and silver colors for Christmas. Our decors and look will evoke all the happy holidays that we all like to celebrate the whole year round.

The hotel's "DIVA Delights" extravaganza will also take the center stage this year as part of our advocacy to always have all our employees participate in special projects like this one.

General Manager Eugene Yap has earlier stated that this year, they take special focus on Bayview "Divas" as they serenade guests with their angelic voices every morning without fail until Christmas Eve.

They were launched this November 19, 2019 as part of the traditional Christmas lighting ceremony that also feature the amazing kids from Timoteo Paez Elementary school Rondalla group who will grace our celebration with their talent.

As we all know, Bayview always makes it a point to have children as part of our most important holiday celebrations, and this year is no exception.

In addition, important people from the City of Manila graced the event as part in this celebration. The Bayview Park Hotel has been supporting the gargantuan task of cleaning and sprucing up "old Manila" and taking back that title of being a premier city in Asia. Already, we are seeing those changes as Manila emerges slowly, old, yet beautiful and regal made more captivating by its history and tales that also include this very hotel. 

Anyone who knows the history of Manila should also know that Bayview was one of the most known hotels to tourists during the pre-war era...

Tweet

LG Home Solutions presents the smart choice for a smart home held at Glorietta 2 Activity Center recently.

L-R: LGEPH Product Marketing Manager Ms. Cel Anolin, LGEPH Home Appliances Brand Ambassadors Mr. Benj Alves, Ms. Cristalle Belo-Pitt, and Ms. Steph Zubiri-Crespi, LGEPH Vice President for Home Appliances Mr. Woo Young Jeon, LGEPH Home Appliances Brand Ambassadors Mr. Michael V, Ms. LJ Moreno-Alapag, Ms. Dani Barretto-Panlilio, and Mr. Marco Gumabao, LGEHP Product Marketing Manager Mr. Jillian Yap

LG Philippines wants to let their products do the talking....TVs, speakers, refrigerators, and other home appliances offer a slew of connectivity options, they have to bring something new to the table.

LG’s vision of a truly smart home is powered by its proprietary ThinQ AI technology. “LG ThinQ uses knowledge drawn from data analytics and machine learning algorithms to understand the user’s patterns and preferences,” said Inkwun Heo, Managing Director for LG Philippines. “As it adapts and learns from the user’s behavior, LG ThinQ products will ultimately evolve to anticipate the user’s needs and deliver heightened performance.”

LGEPH Managing Director Mr. Inkwun Heo

All of LG’s newest products have been engineered with the future in mind. Each one is powered by the AI ThinQ technology so that the difference home appliances can communicate with each other to actually offer an indispensable and genuinely helpful system. Artificial Intelligence however, is but just one feature.

To showcase how the new smart devices seamlessly blend with everyday life, LG commissioned new brand ambassadors who come from different backgrounds, proving without a doubt how these appliances are made for everyone.

Steph Zubiri-Crespi, a long time LG loyalist, boasts how the Twin Wash saves her precious time by being able to do two loads simultaneously. She recounted an instance where the “pause” and “add item” function was a lifesaver. 

Cristalle Belo-Pitt on the other hand, absolutely adores the LG Instaview Door-in-Door refrigerator. Simply knock twice on the sleek glass panel to illuminate the contents inside without opening the door, reducing cold air loss to help keep food fresher longer. Its modern French door design is an entertainer’s delight with storage options such as the Extra Space compartment for your small or loose items, and a retractable shelf for your taller and oddly-shaped items.

Marco Gumabao raves about the LG Black Two Door Top Freezer he’s been using as it offers a blend of timeless style with the latest innovations, maximum storage space, advanced digital temperature controls, and exclusive LG technology. 

While Benj Alves on the other hand, is nostalgic about using the LG Black Turbo Wash 3D as he was used to do everything all by himself, laundry included back when he lived in Guam.

LG’s new smart devices are also perfect for families. Dani Barretto-Panlilio loves the Stacking Washer/Dryer Front Load since it makes sure all of her clothes are clean and safe for her newborn baby. “Everything’s really easier with LG. Another thing is thanks to the use of steam, I’m confident that dustmites, bacteria, or allergens will not get to my baby.”

LJ Moreno-Alapag has been juggling 3 kids and household duties so the LG Two Door Top Freezer has been a tremendous help. Thanks to the Multi-Air Flow System, superior humidity and temperature levels are maintained, keeping your food fresher, longer. Digital sensors constantly monitor conditions within the refrigerator and strategically-placed vents in every section to help surround your food with cool air no matter where you put it. 

As far as reliability with Commercial Refs are concerned, funnyman Michael V is all business. To safeguard your investment, all of these refrigerators have a 10-year warranty for its Inverter Linear Compressor and the Smart Inverter Compressor, as well as a 2-year warranty for parts & service courtesy of LG.

Acting as the captain navigating the AI ship is LG’s SmartThinQ App. With the App, you can control all of your electronics and home appliances anytime, anywhere with just a touch of a button. With the widest assortment of wi-fi enabled appliances and one app to manage them all, LG makes managing your smart appliances easy. Thanks to the ThinQ AI technology, the more you use your smart appliances, the smarter they get by remembering usage habits to better anticipate your needs.

What exactly can the App do? For starters, you can do your laundry while you’re stuck in a meeting. SmartThinQ technology lets you start and stop wash cycles remotely, get notifications when your laundry is done and receive helpful reminders about scheduled maintenance. In the peak of summer? Use the LG SmartThinQ app on your smartphone to turn on your air conditioner from anywhere, ensuring you arrive to a cool home.

Smart Gift Choices for the Family with Samsung's Merrier Christmas Gifts

Tweet

Festive jingles played on repeat in shopping malls, red and green decorations put on display, and the anticipation for a Christmas bonus only mean one thing: holiday season is here. Christmas is known to be the season of giving, which translates it to also being the season of spending, but celebrations and giving out the perfect gifts can be done wisely to avoid overspending.

Here are a few tips on how to stay practical during Christmastime:

Make a list and check it twice.

First things first: make a list. Making a list that contains the names of people whom you want to give presents to, the food you plan to make or buy for potluck parties, and everything else you need or want to buy will help you have a clearer view of how much you’re bound to take out of your wallet for this holiday.

Set a budget. 

After making a list of what we want to spend on during the holidays, setting a budget is the next step. With that, it is essential to set a budget to stay practical during the holidays. Make sure that there are allotments for gifts, celebrations, and even some for yourself! Even though it is the season of giving, remember to only give what you truly can and not go overboard. 

Celebrate where your heart is. 

Parties with friends and reunions with the whole family are Christmas staples for us Filipinos but these special occasions don’t have to be grand. Spending these celebrations at home gives us more freedom as to how the decor will be set up, makes guests more comfortable, and there is no reservation fee! Planning parties can be pricey and opting to hold it at home is the more practical move. After all, these are celebrations of blessings and the gift of life and there is no better place to hold it than your home. 

Be practical with the gift-giving. 

Pretty gifts such as trinkets and on-trend clothes can be nice to look at but don’t last as long as we would want them to, or sometimes just end up on our shelves collecting dust. Spending a lot on more practical gifts such as home appliances can be intimidating but it shouldn’t only be looked at as presents since it is also an investment that the whole family can benefit from. Investing in good quality appliances can make such a difference in a home. 

BONUS TIP: Watch out for sales!
