Shopee partners with World Vision to support young Filipino learners through Abutin Na10 campaign

Tweet

“Abutin Na10”, a fundraising campaign launched by the Department of Education (DepEd) and World Vision last June. The initiative aims to ensure that millions of Filipino learners today continue to have access to good education despite the pandemic. Funds raised will directly support DepEd’s implementation of multi-modal learning approaches.

Months have passed, and many have been greatly affected by the COVID-19 health crisis. The children living in the poorest of the poor are among the most vulnerable. Since its launch, “Abutin Na10” has drawn support from various public and private sectors. It shows that aside from health and other basic needs, the nation recognizes education as a high priority today.

Among those who have recently partnered with World Vision for “Abutin Na10” is one of the country’s leading e-commerce platforms, Shopee. Shopee has been an advocate for education through its initiatives or programs for the less privileged children.

Shopee values the importance of education and believes that learning shouldn’t stop despite the current challenges. We will continue to collaborate with other organizations to come up with initiatives that will benefit the community of learners,” said Shopee’s Associate Director Martin Yu.

Through this partnership, DepEd, World Vision, and Shopee hope to widen the campaign’s reach and tap into the generous hearts of fellow Filipinos here and abroad so that more young learners have an opportunity to reach their dreams.

“World Vision in partnership with the Department of Education launched Abutin Na10 to help learners cope with learning continuity challenges brought by COVID19. It is heartwarming to know that more and more organizations like Shopee want to help in providing them gadgets and/or printed learning modules so learners can study safely in their homes”, shared World Vision’s National Director Rommel Fuerte. “We pray that God will continue to bless you as you give hope to children”.

LG Home Entertainment – A Perfect Match

Tweet

LG’s self-lit pixel technology in their newest line of OLED and NanoCell TVs has been the talk of the town in home entertainment circles and cinemaphile groups worldwide. See firsthand what the buzz is all about as LG Philippines offers a special bundle for the local market to get a taste of the brand’s best TV yet. LG OLED TV and NanoCell TV both boast new innovations that offer a vivid theatrical palette that’s bursting with rich color, perfect for spending an extended amount of time at home.

Pair your 2020 LG OLED TV with LG XBoom PL speakers for an unparalleled cinematic experience

LG OLED CX takes movies, TV shows, and gaming to a different level. 

Packed with 4K resolution and even deeper shades of black, you'll enjoy every minute of your entertainment. The secret behind picture quality is display technology. Backlit LCD/LED TVs pass light through a filter to show colors on the actual display — that interference causes distortion. LG OLED TVs have self-lit pixels that illuminate one by one to ensure richness of color and contrast without interference. Thanks to this, realism is brought to a whole new level. This lets you see every color, detail, and texture, even in almost pitch black scenes. Even as families spend extended amounts of time at home, LG OLED CX TV is Eye Comfort Display certified, surpassing industry standards for blue light, flicker, and high-quality imaging. LG’s newest line of OLED TVs are equipped with an α9 Gen3 AI Processor that automatically analyzes the on-screen content to deliver content as its most immersive, adapting accordingly to bring you the best viewing experience possible.

To upgrade your audio experience, LG OLEDCX TV is best paired with LG XBoom Go PL7 speakers. This portable, Bluetooth speaker lets you enjoy premium sound thanks to its Meridian advanced audio technology. LG teamed up with Meridian—the leader in high-resolution audio—for powerful bass and clear vocals with less distortion even at the highest volume. This combination provides a cinematic experience like no other. The Bluetooth connection gives you a minimalist cable-free home theater setup. The battery holds a 24-hour charge, ensuring an interruption-free experience. To up the ante even further, you can connect up to 100 LG speakers for one massive, immersive sound.

LG NanoCell TV delivers a Real 4K experience full of Pure Color. Its AI ThinQ technology works overtime to deliver upgraded images. LG NanoCell TV, equipped with a Quad core processor, eliminates noise and creates more dynamic color and contrast. Low-resolution images are up-scaled and reproduced at close to 4K quality images. The NanoCell TV’s Pure Color turns your home into the movie theater thanks to intense contrast, giving movies a new depth. This is made possible thanks to NanoCell Technology that applies nanoparticles, creating and purifying colors by filtering out dull colors and enhancing the purity of the RGB spectrum. In addition, it delivers optimized visuals and sound for a spectacular, more lifelike experience.

To complete the cinematic experience, LG NanoCell80 TV is best used with LG XBoom PL5 speakers. This small Bluetooth speaker can fill a whole room with clear, crisp sound as it packs a big punch with 20 watts of power and stereophonic sound. The wireless Bluetooth connection completes its slim silhouette. Binge all you want as the battery lasts up to 18 hours of continuous use. The premium Meridian audio combines with dual passive radiators for rich bass that you can feel even across the room. The XBoom PL5 comes with four high-quality EQ modes, including Sound Boost which gives deep and intense bass for an exciting and impactful sound. 

For a complete immersive experience, link up to 100 LG speakers with the use of Wireless Party Link. Should you choose to host a party at home or just want to exercise by yourself, the LG XBoom PL5 has flashing LED lights that accurately sync to the beat of your music to create a pulsing light show for any song.

As a special introductory offer for both TVs, will be offering the Perfect Match Bundle Promo for the whole month of October. LG OLED 55” TV, LG’s Nano 55”, and Nano 49” will get a sizable discount from its original price. Not only that, each purchase of an LG NanoCell 80 will receive a free LG XBoom PL5 while each purchase of an LG OLED CX will get a complimentary LG XBoom PL7. This special promotion will run from October 1-31, and will be available in selected LG retail partners nationwide.

With LG, staying at home has never been more fulfilling.

Here’s why you should get a Beko refrigerator

Tweet

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.
