Here’s why you should get a Beko refrigerator

Good health starts with nutrition. We are what we eat. We buy and consume more fruits and vegetables these days because these contain vitamins and minerals that are good for our health. But have you noticed that after a few days in the fridge, these fruits and veggies start to look sad and wilted? They also begin to lose the nutrients that are important in boosting the immune system and improving our general wellbeing.

Healthier and more effective food storage is what we need at a time like this as we explore how to improve our daily routines in the “new normal” and pack the food we eat with vitamins and antioxidants to stay healthy and avoid illnesses.

Our needs and requirements have changed. Most of us now buy food in bulk to lessen the number of times we go out to shop so the fruits and veggies in the fridge need to stay fresh longer. 

For refrigerators, we need one with added features that not many brands in the market have.



Beko Pilipinas’ world-class refrigerators are the perfect fit for the “new normal.” The company strongly believes in making products equipped with technologies that help improve the wellbeing of today’s consumers. As an appliance brand, Beko is committed to doing all they can to make people’s lives more convenient and healthier


Here are the five reasons to buy a Beko refrigerator: 

1. Two separate cooling systems and temperature controlled compartment

Beko’s NeoFrost Dual Cooling technology maintains optimum cooling conditions that helps food stay fresh for longer. With having two separate cooling systems, high humidity is maintained in the fridge while the freezer stays dry and frost free. It also prevents odour transfer in between the compartments and keeps the quality of the air inside at maximum levels.



The Everfresh+ Technology is a special crisper that ensures ideal humidity and temperature to keep fruits and vegetables crisp and fresh three times longer. This means reduced waste and lesser trips to the supermarket.


2. Neutralizes bacteria

There's nothing worse than opening the refrigerator door and smelling something that’s rotting. Beko’s Ionguard Technology is an odor removal technology that circulates negative ions to neutralize bacteria and particles that cause bad odor. Thanks to a carbon filter, Active Odour Filter removes odors and bacteria from the cool air circulated in your fridge, keeping all your food smelling nice and fresh. 



3. Highly efficient and durable compressor motor. 

If your fridge is a humming, gurgling energy hog, it’s time to make the switch. Beko’s ProSmart Inverter Compressor provides faster cooling with less energy and four times quieter operation than average refrigerator compressors. This allows the fridge to adapt to temperature fluctuations quicker, keeps food fresh longer and helps you save on your energy bills.



4. Greenhouse-like effect

The Active Fresh Blue Light in the Beko crisper helps fruit and vegetables to continue with the photosynthesis process even while in the fridge. It’s almost like having a greenhouse in the refrigerator where it continues prolonging the storage life of fresh fruit and vegetables while maintaining their natural flavours and nutritional elements


5. Form and function

Beko has a wide range of models, sizes, and colors to suit any kitchen style so you are sure to find the perfect match for your home with each refrigerator designed along clean and minimal lines.

If you’re a loving pet owner stuck in quarantine, chances are you’ve resorted to various online sources to tend to your pet’s needs. All pet parents are known to go a long way for their beloved, loyal pets to ensure they get the right nutrition and care they deserve.

Leading and trusted pet care brand Royal Canin Philippines understands this unique bond between pets and their parents and celebrates this through the launch of their rewards program mobile application, Royal Canin Club. The app is an easy-to-use, system that aims to aid doting pet owners in keeping their furry babies delighted and healthy.

Now available on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store, the Royal Canin Club app provides pet owners with exclusive access to credible pet care information as well as Royal Canin products and exclusive promos. In line with the brand’s thrust of providing the best-tailored nutrition for pets, the app is a complementary tool for both new and loyal Royal Canin patrons who strive only for the best, loving experience for their furry friends.

As soon as one downloads the app and completes registration, Royal Canin already rewards pet owners with an awesome gift set and vouchers, whether they are loyal users or new to the brand.



Pet owners will also get to enjoy the Royal Canin e-learning tool, with informative and engaging content on maintaining pets’ wellbeing: proper diet and nutrition, digestive health, neonatal to ageing care, skin and coat care, training, and understanding pet behavior. Users also get access to exciting app features such as pet quizzes, store locators for partner establishments, and first dibs to sale and promotion announcements from Royal Canin. Through the application, Filipino pet owners will have access to an exclusive store finder feature that can connect them to the nearest pet store, veterinary clinics, and pet breeders at the utmost convenience. 



The app is a product of Royal Canin’s 50 years of passion for pets’ health and wellbeing, five decades of understanding each pet’s unique needs and care that match their physical and emotional requirements. 


“The Royal Canin Club app aims to be a trusted partner of pet owners who want nothing but the best for their cats and dogs.

The app is expected to appeal to a huge group of the public, especially with the growing number of pet ownership in the country. According to Euromonitor International, pet care in the Philippines continues to improve in performance, which can be further attributed to the increasing popularity of dogs as pets, growing sales of pet healthcare products, and a greater propensity for owners to feed dogs with packaged food. 


The global pet care e-commerce market size is also expected to grow owing to the increasing usage around the world, according to a Grand View Research, Inc.’s study.  Additionally, Asia Pacific is expected to witness a CAGR growth of around 10% due to rising pet adoption and the growing economy of the region. 


“Over the years we have committed to attending to the unique needs of dogs and cats. Our passion for pet health continues to drive us to introduce new products and innovative solutions that foster a healthier environment, all while working with the best pet shops, veterinarians, and breeders around. We look forward to the positive impact that the Royal Canin Club app will have on our beloved pets here in the country,” Eusebio remarks.

A “Dentistry of Excellence” is Taiwan’s promise to the world

Five Taiwan Excellence Award winners demonstrated their groundbreaking and state-of-the-art products for the dental materials and products industry during a virtual product launch called “Dentistry of Excellence” that took place recently.

The five Taiwan Excellence Award winners were EPED’s real-time imaging system, Saturn Imaging’s all-in-one digital solution for implantation, Dentmate’s innovative LED light solution for dentistry, Young Optics’ 3D printer with outstanding optical technology, and DHEF’s Endodontic Handpiece and dental imaging scanner. The event was jointly organized by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), Taiwan’s foremost trade promotion body, and the Bureau of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Economic Affairs.

According to the latest report by the World Health Organization (WHO), 30 percent of elderly people at age 65 and up in the world are toothless; thus, the demand for oral care products will continue to increase.

It is estimated that the global dental implant market demand will reach its peak in 2026, where business opportunities are expected to reach about US$570 billion. Dental materials made in Taiwan cover 94 percent of the entire global dentistry product line, and the output value is expected to reach US$10 billion by 2025. These figures clearly show the vaunted manufacturing power and might of Taiwan in this growing industry. 

“The existing medical environment, advanced health insurance data system and electronic and automated mechanical integration technology are the great assets in this field. Over the past decade, products from Taiwan have shown the world its innovative and pioneering power and technological advancements in the dental industry.” said Leonor Lin, President and CEO of TAITRA, at this online product launch campaign.

As a trusted world partner, Taiwan Excellence selected products that best represent the image of Taiwan’s dental material and product industry. 

During the product launch, the award-winning and leading company in the field of minimally invasive surgery EPED presented IRIS and SimEx, which provides super flexible and exceptionally customized solutions in dental training as well as dental impressions and dental curriculum. Saturn Imaging, which specializes in 3D diagnosis and implant planning software, on the other hand, showcased its ImplantMax that provides an all-in-one solution for guided implantology, ranging from digital treatment planning, surgical guide fabrication, to surgical guide verification. The all-in-one approach streamlines guided implantology and greatly increases the throughput of digital technology in implantation practice.

Dentmate, a top dental equipment provider, for its part, offered its Dental Curing Light and Headlight that is not only lightweight but also easy to operate. Meanwhile, Young Optics, which is engaged in research, design, manufacture and sales of optical components, presented its Digital Light Processing 3D Printer that offers stable printing materials with constant parameters where 12 models can be printed within 3 hours to meet dentists’ needs more efficiently. Finally, DHEF, one of Taiwan’s leading digital dental equipment makers, presented the Digirex PSP Scanner that packs a powerful image processing system into a small machine, and its Endomax Brite that helps improve visibility and safety for root canal treatments.


All of these innovative and reliable products provide better care for users and enable long-term care facilities in order to save time, costs and improve services. Taiwanese companies are also confident in providing the best products for global users to fulfill their unique and discriminating demand.

The last activity of Taiwan Excellence Healthcare Train series, the “Taiwan - ASEAN Medical Device and Innovation Forum,” will be held on October 16, 2020 where participating companies will share Taiwan’s latest medical technologies.

UP-CPH study supports the return of Angkas, with set of safety protocols to be strictly enforced

A study by the University of the Philippines-College of Public Healh (UP-CPH)  on the safety of using motorcycle taxis for public transport supports the return of Angkas who is primed to  deploy its 30,000-strong biker pool into the roads of the National Capital region very soon.




The UP-CPH comprehensive paper expounds on the viability of the motorcycle as a vehicle to restore mobility despite the COVID-19 pandemic, while showing detailed guidelines that can keep both biker-driver, passenger, and perhaps even the people immediately proximate to them safe. Transmission of virus between both parties can and should be eliminated, restoring the public’s confidence as they slowly venture out of their homes into places like their offices, groceries, banks, markets, and even their children’s schools. 

Angkas, the country’s leading app-based motorcycle taxi service, has been actively collaborating with the UP-CPH to devise strategies and form recommendations on how to make motorcycle taxi rides safe in the time of COVID. George Royeca, Angkas Chief Transport Advocate, says, “We worked with the UP-CPH team to conduct a science-backed study on how to make the motorcycle taxi safe in the time of COVID-19. While we are all looking forward to this day when we’re allowed to operate once more, we wanted to make sure that we are compliant with all safety regulations for the safety of our riders and our passengers.”

Dr. Vicente Belizario, Jr.,UP-CPH Dean, confirmed the collaboration with Angkas and said that partnerships such as theirs are important to empowering people to resume their normal lives in the middle of the pandemic.  Confirming that Angkas asked the UP-CPH “to provide guidelines and recommendations for the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) and the transport industry,”  Dr. Belizario added that “public health is innately collaborative. Kailangan magkatulungan. We continue to understand this disease better, as we tackle health challenges today.”

Dr. Belizario also added, “Angkas has taken the lead in ensuring that motorcyle taxis are properly equipped and safe for public use, which makes them more than prepared to perform public transport once that door opens. Motorcycle taxis can be allowed to operate if health and safety guidelines we have recommended are strictly implemented.”

Given that COVID-19  thrives and infects people in poorly ventilated spaces, the UP-CPH study points out that motorcycle taxis in fact help reduce this danger as both biker partners and passengers, while riding on the vehicle, are not confined in an enclosed structure. Citing research done at Southern University in Guangzhou, China, the study emphasizes that higher wind velocity has a high possibility of decreasing confirmed case counts. This is due to high wind speeds being advantageous to the dilution and removal of droplets, hence shortening the suspension time of microorganisms in the air.

“A moving motorcycle naturally creates sufficient ventilation which is crucial in preventing COVID-19 transmission,” Royeca concurs. “We have followed the safety protocols mentioned in the study. When the local government units (LGUS) partnered with us to help bring their health workers to and from their destinations, there has not been one incident of virus transmission.”

Another partnership that Angkas recently joined to accelerate the opening of  public transport while keeping travel safe is the Ingat Angat Tayong Lahat campaign. Royeca spearheaded the largest alliance of brands and conglomerates to restore consumer confidence by encouraging the public to observe safety protocols. 

In the UP-CPH study, motorcycle taxis are deemed safe as long as strict adherence to the safety guidelines is followed. Both the partner-bikers and passengers are required to wear protective equipment such as masks and helmets. The biker’s visor helmet, which has recently been required among individuals riding a motorbike, can also act as a face shield.

To further ensure non-transmission of the virus between the biker partner and the passenger, both should regularly comply with the following health standards: regular hand hygiene;  disinfection of commonly touched surfaces; and the washing and cleansing of protective equipment.

While the study notes that plastic shields that act as barriers between passengers and partner-bikers still have to meet the approval of peer-reviewed studies, the use of non-permeable barriers is allowed to minimize possible person-to-person transmission of the virus. Angkas’ shield has been approved for use by the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF). Dozens of  Angkas shields had been donated to the motorcycle-owning healthcare workers in several cities such as Pasay, Pasig, and Manila during the lockdown.

The UP-CPH study also recommends other layers of protection for motorcycle taxi use, such as the verification of identity through facial recognition, contact tracing capability; and immediate reporting to the platform provider in the event that virus symptoms break out and persist; and strict compliance with medical advice from a healthcare provider.

Royeca says that contactless payments which will lessen the exchange of physical money between passenger and driver have been added to their app. A contact tracing tool has also been embedded in the Angkas software, which could help in detecting the location of infected individuals if needed. Angkas also has constant reminders advising partner-bikers and passengers alike to reveal this information to the platform provider should they test positive for COVID-19; the Angkas app also advises them to seek medical advice and cooperate with contact tracing efforts.

Royeca maintains that infection prevention and the constant updating of control measures to maintain it remain Angkas’ priority. Recognizing the need to balance health concerns with financial and employment needs, he says, “We understand that it is crucial to re-open the economy, and with it gradually mobilize the people through effective and safe modes of transport. However, we need to put utmost importance on our biker partners’ and our passengers’ safety with the utmost importance.”

“Safety has always been the core of Angkas' operation. In this time of pandemic, we consider it  our civic responsibility to minimize the spread of COVID-19,” says Royeca, “and we will continue to innovate and be vigilant as our bikers soon begin bringing passengers to their destinations again.”
