Save Space Without Compromise with LG's Newest Line of Window Type Air Conditioners

Tweet

When it comes to home appliances, space is the name of the game. Space, or lack thereof, is one of the most important factors to consider when moving or fitting out a home, whether for form or function. It’s crucial that with whatever appliance you bring, it’s able to maximize every square inch it occupies.

Recognizing the premium for space, LG introduces a new line of window type air conditioners that’s more compact than ever but without sacrificing an ounce of cooling technology. The new line comes in three levels of cooling capacity - 0.8 HP, 1.0 HP, and 1.3 HP. All three versions share the same compact size with all of LG’s innovative technology.

The new line of air conditioners boast of LG’s storied inverter technology. With the LG DUAL Inverter Compressor, the air conditioners provide up to 70% more energy savings. Even with its small size, it still provides maximum cooling. These inverter window air conditioners provide exceptional cooling power that will keep you and your family cool, comfortable, and in control any day of the week.

With small spaces, noise is also magnified. This new line of air conditioners operate at sound levels as low as 44dB (when in low mode), eliminating unnecessary noise for smooth operation that you'll barely notice. It also offers Sleep Mode, which keeps operating noise to a minimum and turns the air conditioner off after a set time. The timer can be set from 1 to 12 hours. For the timer, you can set it up to 24 hours of operation, so that your air conditioner turns off when you plan it. Another game changing feature this line offers is the Clean Filter Indicator, which automatically notifies you whenever the filter needs cleaning. Say goodbye to guesswork!

The design and interface is intuitive and user-friendly. Operate it with the LED display and simple selection control panel, up/down temperature adjustments, and fan speed selection, using the full-featured remote without leaving your bed, workspace, or couch.

The air conditioners also offer versatile options and features for control. With the ThinQ™ app, you can start or stop your LG air conditioner, change the mode, or set the temperature, no matter where you are.

It also offers an Auto Clean Function. If the power cuts off, your unit resumes its previous operation shortly after the power is restored. It also has an Auto Evaporating System, where after turning off the air conditioner, the drying function automatically runs for 10 minutes. Say goodbye to smelly humidity.

Take command of your space today with LG’s space saving window type air conditioners. For more information, visit https://www.lg.com/ph/air-conditioners.

Calling all our friends in art and culture.

ILUSTRADO, the fundraising gala of the Friends for Cultural Concerns of the Philippines (FCCP) will be held at the National Museum of Fine Arts on March 27, 2023.

It will benefit the FCCP’s scholarship program which covers the tuition and/or travel expenses of 26 scholars, pursuing their undergraduate and graduate studies in the visual and performing arts here and abroad.

ILUSTRADO will give attendees a unique tour of the Museum with site specific performances featuring past, present and future FCCP scholars bringing life or a different perspective to the artworks in 6 of the galleries or halls.

The featured artists are Madeline Jane Banta, pianist/harpist;Vien Ignacio, harpist; Lance Capitan, guitarist; Michael Valenciano, keyboard; Giuseppe Diestro, cellist; Donna Baluyut, soprano; FEU Dance Company (FDC); Jezreel Mangui, tenor; Joshua Mondares, tenor; Kris Gonzales, baritone; and the FEU Guides.

Dinner will be catered by the famed Ilustrado restaurant in Intramuros.

The FCCP started out in 1979 as the Friends of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, patterned after the Friends of the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Embarking on its first venture into fundraising, the FCCP sponsored the musical Annie, where Repertory Philippines first introduced Lea Salonga to a highly appreciative public. Proceeds went to purchase a brand new harp which was donated to the CCP Orchestra which became the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra.

Inspired by its initial fundraising SUCCESS, the FCCP proceeded to sponsor the visiting Cleveland Symphony Orchestra under the world-famous conductor Loren Maazel. The funds raised were used to sponsor two successful CCP Summer Outreach Concerts which brought the PPO with Prof. Basilio Manalo as conductor on concert tours around the country.

In 2001, the FCCP became the Friends for Cultural Concerns of the Philippines to widen the scope of its contributions.

During the 2004 – 2006 term of lawyer-business woman Mellie Ablaza, the organization donated three million pesos to the NMP in return for which the “Introduction Room” of the National Art Gallery was named after the FCCP in perpetuity.

ILUSTRADO will be a fun fundraiser, unlike any other ! For tickets, please contact Angie Godoy via text or Viber: +639272292128
