The BioVis is also equipped with the Li-Flex Adaptive Track, which adjusts to the body’s natural curves, enabling a smoother massage flow regardless of body shape. It also features Pilaflex technology, which provides 3D foot and leg massage to release leg tension and mimic Thai massage techniques. The BioVis massage experience merges entertainment and relaxation with the Virtual Cockpit, which features a 12” Infinity Pad complemented by Monster Audio for a richer auditory experience. With the pad, users can adjust the massage sensory settings to their liking, and in just a few clicks, the pad turns into an entertainment suite where they can enjoy their favorite videos or tunes.

LG and Imperial Appliance Plaza Extend Laundry Love to Earthquake-Affected Families in General Santos City

Tweet

GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Philippines — During challenging times, care can take the form of something simple but deeply practical: a fresh set of clothes, clean bedding, and one less household task for a family to carry.

LG Electronics Philippines, in partnership with Imperial Appliances, brought its Laundry Love free laundry service program to General Santos City for the first time, supporting residents affected by the 7.8-magnitude earthquake in June.

Held from July 13 to 17 at the Barangay Hall in Purok Estrella, Barangay Calumpang, the five-day activation provided 310 families with free access to LG washers and dryers. Operating daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., the program handled approximately 2,544 kilograms of laundry.

Nakhyun Seong, Managing Director of LG Electronics Philippines, said, “Laundry Love reflects our belief that meaningful support begins with understanding what communities need in their everyday lives. For families recovering from a natural calamity, access to clean clothes and household essentials can help ease one immediate burden. Together with Imperial Appliances and the local community, we are grateful for the opportunity to bring practical care closer to families in General Santos City.”

Practical care during a time of need

Laundry can become particularly difficult following a natural calamity, when families may be focused on safety, recovery, and rebuilding their daily routines. Through Laundry Love, LG makes its washing and drying technologies available in shared community spaces, giving residents access to free laundry services when these are needed most.

By washing approximately 2,544 kilograms of clothing and household fabrics, the program helped participating families address a basic but essential part of daily life.

A program built around shared responsibility

LG Laundry Love is a free laundry service program that reinforces the company’s commitment to social responsibility by supporting communities affected by natural calamities and helping make clean laundry accessible during times of need.

The program is carried out through collaboration with local government units and dealers, combining LG technology with local knowledge and community coordination. By installing washers and dryers in accessible shared spaces, Laundry Love responds to an immediate household need while families focus on other aspects of recovery.

Since its launch in 2018, the initiative has served thousands of individuals across different communities.

Bringing Laundry Love to General Santos City marks another step in expanding the program’s reach, while showing how partnerships between companies, dealers, and communities can translate into meaningful assistance on the ground.

More than clean clothes

For the 310 families who participated, the activity offered more than access to laundry equipment. It provided time, convenience, and a measure of everyday normalcy during a difficult period.

As the program continues to reach communities across the Philippines, LG Electronics Philippines remains committed to working with local partners to respond to everyday needs and help make life better, one load at a time.

Two Metro Manila users shared how the vivo V70 FE has supported their daily routines, offering insights into whether the smartphone delivers value for different lifestyles.

When choosing a smartphone, buyers often ask the same question: Is it worth the investment? While specifications provide one perspective, everyday experiences often reveal how a device performs in real-life situations.

For 24-year-old TikTok content creator Mary Jane Alquiza, the vivo V70 FE has become her primary tool for creating content. She recently shared sample photos captured using the smartphone on TikTok, where the post has garnered more than 8,000 views.

Alquiza said the device's 200MP OIS ultra-clear camera with 30x AI Telephoto Enhancement enables her to capture detailed photos and videos with natural colors, reducing the need for additional equipment during shoots.

Its reliable performance, long battery life, and excellent camera help me stay productive and creative wherever I am," Alquiza said.

The camera is designed for users who want detailed images with minimal effort. Its 200MP OIS ultra-clear camera produces sharp photos that retain clarity even after cropping, while optical image stabilization helps minimize blur when capturing moving subjects.

The device's battery performance also stood out for Clarie Jane G. Solis, a 32-year-old housewife. She said the smartphone's 7,000mAh BlueVolt battery allows her to stay connected throughout the day without worrying about frequent charging, while its IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance provides added confidence during everyday use.

To complement its large battery, the vivo V70 FE supports 90W FlashCharge, allowing the device to recharge in about an hour. Combined with its durability features, the smartphone is built to support users with active schedules who need reliable performance throughout the day.

To demonstrate their experiences, both Alquiza and Solis shared sample photos taken using their vivo V70 FE. Their submissions highlight how the smartphone's 200MP OIS ultra-clear camera delivers detailed, sharp images across different everyday scenarios, from content creation to personal photography.

Liu Lu, vivo Philippines Brand Marketing Director, said real user experience remain one of the most meaningful ways to evaluate a smartphone. "While technical specifications are important, how a device performs in everyday situations ultimately helps consumers determine whether it provides value for their needs."
