Judy Ann Santos Agoncillo Trusts KYOWA

Today was a really good day as everybody's favorite super mom and chef Judy Ann Santos Agoncillo becomes the newest endorser for home brand Kyowa. She's really the top endorser and she doesn't just do that for any product. Mind you, she's used them for quite a while and attests how the quality of these home appliances certainly made life easy. They signed her up with the presence of Nathanael Ong the President of KBMC, Eugene Go the COO, and Ms. Mary Jane Buencamimo the President of Mylaunchpad Inc. There were also several loyal Kyowa consumers and Judy Ann Santos' lovely fans to witness the event.

Comfort, Trust and Simple Joys, it is something that Kyowa exuded in the years it has been in the country. This is the same reason why it has been trusted by Judy Ann and the countless families that enjoy it.

Juday told us stories and said "When I learned to cook, I learned to explore. I put other spices in my soups, use cheese, make a different chowder, it's a canvass. It makes sense to allow other ingredients because it makes you appreciate cooking so much compared to what I've been doing in the past after work. I still cook after a long day, I put my thoughts in what I cook and prove that I can do something else other than being an actress. It's comfort food, Angrydobo dishes actually came from my heart."

She added "When I make something out of what I just imagined, I feel happy. Even on chef's nights, I can work with both my hands. You get challenged to deliver, when it's service time, you put out your best work. Some brands just do technology but don't think about the basics, of what people need to do and achieve in the kitchen. Everybody loves a good recipe, if you want a good one just portion it, put it in the freezer and have your family member take it out, use the Kyowa Air Fryer and make it crispy. You can also cook tortang talong, bake in it, things that you can quickly cook and also wash it easy afterwards. I've tried and tested that! Just put slices on it so you can get rid of blood on the protein. You can cook anything on it, there's lots of information out there!"

Juday enrolled in culinary school because she wanted to learn, prove to her daughter that she can finish something. She decided a long time ago not to pursue college, but did it to have tools other than acting. She also plans to produce shows and films, she also wants to do make up, but wanted to do cooking as a fall back. She realized acting wasn't a permanent job, and Ryan told her she should because she loved cooking. I guess Kyowa can now be her partner in the kitchen because their products really make sense.

Congratulations Ms. Judy Ann Santos on your recent achievements, I'm quite sure there will be more!

LG Philippines Dares You to "Ask LG"

I've seen it on social channels several times, and now know why they're daring you to "Ask LG".

This is quite good to see especially from a consumer standpoint because it takes product knowledge to another level. Online content is useful and if it is used correctly, it should be data driven, much like what they are doing in "Ask LG".

In the series of videos, they will take frequently asked questions and make sure to answer details that consumers should and want to know about their LG products. This is actually big because as of this writing, the 100 videos they have published has already been watched by 26.5 Million times, and been subscribed by over 119 thousand followers on socials.

Philippines Gets Best Titan of Immersive Display: The 115 inch TCL X955

You've known big displays, but this one is REALLY BIG.

We wanted to get first dibs at the newest TCL X955, and this one is special because they call this the "Titan of Immersive Display" and we now know why.

This premium QD Mini LED 4K TV uses six crystal light emitting chip and has exceptional brightness and fast screen performance. It also has uniform backlight that doesn't irritate your view. The led also is 5x smaller than usual and utilize 5184 local dimming zones so you get very detailed output on display. It has 5000 nits HDR so those once blurry scenes can be seen. It also has super high contrast ratio, black is going to be really black. You can see your videos quite vivid, and doesn't over saturate, as it does lifelike colors by default. With its TCL AiPQ Processor 3.0, it does your videos with clarity, seeing much detail whether you have bright or dark scenes on screen. It also produces realistic colors and does it with wellness, you won't see scenes that are overly bright that would hurt your eyes. The audio is another thing as it is equipped with ONKYO 4.2.2ch that has it at 160 Watts, and Dolby Atmos, it will surely elevate your immersive audio experience which would make your movies really sound good. This has low reflection rate, you wouldn't see glare, and since this is a TITAN, the new 115 inch display would just make you speechless at first glance.

This also has 144Hz VRR refresh rate, and Dolby Vision, a new technology that makes it better for gamers to see details of your favorite titles. It also has an Ultra Slim Design, which means its sleek, you only need a small space for you to use it. Plus, it looks good from every angle... no need for a pricey designer to make a space work. Aside from the 115 inch, they also have this in 98 and 85 inch versions.

This is available in major appliance stores (this one is ABENSON's). Go get one if you need a new TV! No wonder it's the number 1 TV brand in the market!

This is part of their aggressive expansion plans across the country according to Ms. Donna San Luis, their Marketing Services Manager. You can expect the best brands of home entertainment systems, top selling washing machines, TV, air conditioners in the store where patrons would be able to check before they take it home. These are also available online so if you're a little busy, it'll be a great help if you could order it that way instead of the usual brick and mortar way we're used to.

Beko Showcases Best Wares at PH Trade Launch

Beko, the largest appliance brand in Europe just recently concluded their 1st Trade Show in the Philippines held at the Marriott Grand Ballroom in Pasay City. It was certainly a chance showcase their best products and be seen among dealers from different parts of the country and media outlets too. Arriving at the event venue, they already had us got acquainted with the home and kitchen appliances they have brought to the country. They assure all designs, materials of products which they sell in Europe is the same as what we have here in the country. This is certainly reassuring, and from what we saw at the experience area of the trade show, there's a lot more things from Beko that the Filipinos need to have in their homes.

Dyeun Zapanta the Marketing Manager of Beko says "We want to bring BEKO to different places in the country. We innovate our products, and have your household chores not get in the way. Our goal is to empower you to Live Like a Pro."

Beko Pilipinas Corporation Country Manager Gurhan Gunal adds "We grew our patents to over 3000, and now is the top brand in Europe. We are bringing our portfolio in the Philippines to help our customers have a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. Our target is to become the number one European brand in the country. We will invest digital and trad media to bring brand information in different channels. You can use smartphones to connect with our smart appliances, use sustainable materials to build parts of our products,  recycle and do water treatment on some of them. We will be expanding, doing the legwork of launching more products since we were hampered by the pandemic. We will also be utilizing the help of Judy Ann Santos to become part of the mass households, to get closer to the consumer and be present in Visayas and Mindanao too. We have Harvestfresh technology, a unique cooling feature nutrifreeze, and our next game is connecting them, for a smart home. This will happen in the next 5 years."

News about how great Judy Ann Santos as an endorser was discussed during the question and answer portion. Her being a part of the brand was brought upon a survey they did while looking for an endorser, on who people would trust, and of course, Ms. Judy Ann Santos - Agoncillo was on top! They also will be asking her to further bring the message across, to be closer in every household where Beko wants to be in. They will also be expanding in Visayas and Mindanao, also plan to build more avenues for after sales service, and experience locations in the same region. They also mentioned that there's 114% increase this year compared to last year, so business is doing good. Execution of their expansion will take place in the next 5 years, but their thrust is to stay and plan even more things in days beyond that. I've seen their line of fridges, washing machines,more small appliances and dishwashers at the event, I bet it'll be nice to see them in my own home too, go check their social channels and official website beko.com/ph-en for more information about it.

Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo is a BEKO Pro!

Everybody loves Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo! She's the first ambassador for BEKO, the number one European appliance company. Aside from being the queen of Filipino soap operas, an award winning actress, business woman, she's a mother of three and wife to Ryan. Just like you, she's aware that she does inspire people... and she also makes an effort to live healthy and have sustainable lives. Just like the brand she represents, they believe she can live her best life.

Judy Ann cooks for her family, her two restaurants called ANGRYdobo and her YouTube channel Judy Ann's Kitchen. She says "Just like Beko, I focus on healthy living for myself and my family.I learned a lot being Beko's ambassador, because with their appliances we all get to eat healthy. I have very picky kids, and you'v got to be ready at all times. I even have refrigerators from Beko that can have food, vegetables and fruits stay fresh longer. Thanks to its HarvestFresh technology I save a lot of time and not go to markets frequently. I also take care of laundy and with Beko's SteamCure Hygiene+ technology, I take my son's soild clothes and assure that everything is clean right after. I don't worry if they have outdoor activities."

Beko's Efforts on Sustainability

Design has always been a good mark of a forward looking country. This has been seen in Europe where everything from the little pebble on the road pairs up with the moulding on the ceiling. It can be about texture, color, generation, of which done classy and tastefully would spark joy in any home. These days, it's amazing how even appliances have been following suit and making different colors, designs available for the Filipino market.  

EU's number one Beko takes pride in making sure you don't just get the best appliances from the European market. They go the mile to follow strict quality regulations and look good from any angle, but still think of energy efficiency. It's their huge commitment to sustainability that makes the difference which is why they've got things like Beko refrigerators with HarvestFresh Technology to keep all your fresh stuff last long inside the fridge. Aside from that, they utilize a compressor that does less energy consumption and can operate in different types of weather. Even their washers have ProSmart Inverter Motors to save 30 percent more energy. Today, Beko wants to have zero emissions by the year 2050. Big task but confident that they'd be able to do it in the EU. Saving the Earth's resources, lessen water pollution and staying environmentally friendly, Beko wants to do it today for the future generation. Why not right? That makes total sense.

If you want to know more about them, go to bekopromos.ph of BekoPH on Facebook. They've got tons of promos for you if you're in the look for appliances. Go check them out! 

Good Things About the Beko PowerClean

In the past months, it was all plants, food, previous trips that did frequent my timeline since we're all still under lock down. We've all remained worried, but optimistic, troubled but hopeful despite of everything that has happened in the country. 

Today, it's a whole lot different. I've been noticing a lot of people flexing one thing in particular (although not as related), it was all vacuum cleaners. For starters, I don't find this weird because we've all been stuck at home (or work) and to keep it clean, things like these should be something normal. There are pretty good ones out there like the Beko PowerClean. Design wise, this one is up there. How it handles your cleaning chores, its performance, battery life and durability, is above standard. After all, it's Europe's No. 1 Appliance Brand. They've been doing these for years because they want to make your daily lives easier, I mean who doesn't want that right?

 This Beko PowerClean is also cordless, very powerful, it comes with a folding tube so you can fit it in tough spots like under tables, beds, and hard to reach areas. You can use it with the tube or take it out and use it handheld for places like your car, sofas, beds and tight spaces too. It comes with accessories like a soft brush, elbow and crevice tool if you need to switch for different areas in your home. If you're a bit tired from cleaning the whole house, it's got a SelfStand so you can just leave it upright. That's convenient and not hard on the back, which I might say is happening for people using this at this age LOL!

 It uses PerformCyclone technology of which it utilizes 165w suction power so it can do deep cleaning. It's essential for vacuum cleaners to do that so it can rid of dust and other particles, but not all of them do. If you would like to know more about it, take a stride over at their Facebook page at facebook.com/bekoph because it's all there!
