TCL presents latest line-up of Mobile, Tablet, and MoveAudio

TCL Philippines sealed its partnership with VST ECS Phils. Inc – one of the leading ICT distribution companies in the country – to bring a new wave and vast range of affordable TCL smartphones, tablets, and audio devices to the Filipino market.

The appointment ceremony of the latter as the former’s official and exclusive distributor of mobile products in the Philippines took place on April 15 during the virtual TCL Mobile Media Briefing, attended by both companies’ executive management and media partners. 

Philip Xia, CEO of TCL Philippines – TCL Sun, Inc., shares:

“TCL has always been about innovation and expansion. Starting from television business and now to mobile phones, we are continuously expanding our ecosystem of products – with our core deeply rooted to lines of connection, display, and interaction. From there, we are initiating an integrated smarter way of living.”

“Here in TCL, we believe that greatness knows no boundaries and we have always been relentless when it comes to breaking barriers and exploring endless possibilities. I am confident that together with one of the country’s market leaders in local ICT distribution, which is VST ECS Phils, we will be conquering new and greater heights as we embark on another exciting journey of business expansion through our mobility products.

 

Jimmy D. Go, president and CEO, VSTECS Phils. Inc. says:

“We are delighted to include TCL Mobile to our fold of impressive product portfolio. This addition solidifies our commitment to offer end-to-end solutions for practically all verticals and provide new growth opportunities for our channel partners. And as one of the pioneers in intelligent technology, I am confident that TCL will gain positive traction having been known to deliver some of the industry’s firsts such as QLED, Mini LED, THX Certified Gaming TV, to name few. We hope to raise the bar in mobile entertainment by offering products that combine innovation and affordability.”

 

Jay Guanzon, TCL Philippines’ Senior Manager for Sales Operations and Business Unit Head for Diversified Products, says:

“The mobile competition in the Philippines is indeed tough and it’s no surprise that almost weekly, there are new devices being launched here and there. But this doesn’t come off as a threat, rather a challenge that we are proud and confident to take as we know that we have the right mindset, products, and partners in this journey. Afterall, the very goal of this business venture is rooted to connectivity and people. We are here to bridge the gap between mid-tier market and high-performing devices that do not need to cost much. We are here to bring globally competitive products that are highly affordable and accessible to many. And with the credibility and brand image that TCL has built for the past 20 years, I know our mobile products will deliver its promise of ease and convenience to mobile users.”

Through this partnership, Filipino consumers can avail TCL smartphones and other peripheral products – including tablets and wireless earbuds – in all accredited and authorized VST ECS stores nationwide starting April 2021.

Vice and Saridon, Match made in headache: Vice Ganda wishes for good health on another lockdown birthday

Tweet

A birthday is something everyone looks forward to. It not only allows us to look back at the year that was, it also allows us to envision an even better year ahead. Last year, comedian and television host Vice Ganda’s birthday celebration was held under unusual circumstances as the COVID-19 pandemic forced everyone indoors.

Last April 12, 2021, Isang Kabog Pasabog Na Araw Ka-Saridon! Kabog! Pasabog! SARIDON zoom webinar with Unkabogable Vice Ganda was held with media and bloggers.

Even as Vice Ganda celebrated yet another birthday under lockdown, she chooses to have a positive outlook after the past year proved to be so difficult to so many people. Vice realizes Filipinos are trying to find some semblance of normalcy; even working doubly harder to address the economic concerns due to the pandemic. The efforts often cause headaches and pains due to the stress that goes with it. However, as they say, the show must go on. And on her birthday, Vice Ganda is praying and hoping for good health for herself and for her kababayan.

The good thing is Vice has a partner for moments when headaches strike. She knows that for headache relief, Paracetamol + Propyphenazone + Caffeine (Saridon Triple Action) is there for a faster and better effect. Its caffeine content, when combined with other analgesics like Paracetamol and Propyphenazone, makes the product work in as fast as 15 minutes and provide better pain relief vs. 500mg plain Paracetamol

Vice and Saridon: Match made in headache

This is why Paracetamol + Propyphenazone + Caffeine (Saridon Triple Action) comes in handy for someone like Vice who continuously works on many projects for long hours.

The unkabogable Vice Ganda juggles her schedule with content creation for her top rating vlog and shows on the Vice Ganda Network while still hosting “It’s Showtime!” on a daily basis. Balancing these and her other responsibilities is no joke and having a happy and positive mood is something Vice needs to be effective and sincere in her craft.

Vice’s prayers and birthday wish for good health will always be her priority with the primary reason of being able to provide fun and positivity to her millions of followers.

Paracetamol + Propyphenazone + Caffeine (Saridon Triple Action) associate marketing manager Toby Manlapat shares, “This pandemic has been a challenge to all of us but people who work hard like Vice Ganda need to relieve headache fast in order to get back to one’s normal disposition”

Paracetamol + Propyphenazone + Caffeine (Saridon Triple Action) is manufactured by Bayer, a trusted name in pharmaceuticals and consumer health for over 150 years. Paracetamol/ Propyphenazone/Caffeine is the generic name of Saridon Triple Action. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor. Available in all leading drugstores nationwide and major online retailers. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
