TCL Holds TCL COOLFEST at Trinoma Mall

One of the biggest malls in the metro just got filled to the brim as TCL holds their TCL CoolFest 2024 at the Trinoma Mall in Quezon City. This was done together with one of the leading appliance stores in the country, Anson's and they didn't shortchange in entertainment value by bringing in bands, games and prizes for lucky participants.

TCL Deputy Marketing Director Shae Yu reiterated how TCL does these activations not just because they wanted to show the products, but how to actually enjoy it in the event. The stunning entertainment experience was highlighted by the reveal of the newest models of TCL FreshPro refrigerators,  TCL WashPro Washers and Dryers, and the upcoming A300 series that combines art and technology on display. 

They also recognized Anson's for successfully selling the first TCL 115 inch X955 MAX which is the world's largest QD Mini LED TV. I've seen that in person and it's humongous. They actually have more up their sleeves, so make sure you follow their socials for more announcements, and events lined up this year.

Robinsons Appliances x Home Credit Holiday Shopping Spree Winners Bared

Had so much fun visiting Robinsons Antipolo this afternoon as Robinsons Appliances and Home Credit just concluded their Holiday Shopping Spree promo. They have held this during the last quarter of 2022 and awarded them this April 25th in front of shoppers, the media and executives from both Robinsons Appliances and Puneet Suneja of Home Credit Philippines too.

The event was hosted by Chariz Solomon, mainstay of hit gag show Bubble Gang (and my favorite portion Balitang Ina), she was so fun to be with as people relate to her small stories in between formal talk. This particular promo is just part of the multiple things Robinsons Appliances plan to do with Home Credit. They find Home Credit to be a very convenient solution for shoppers to use when they don't have credit cards. They also approve quite fast with the proper requirements, and the winners actually attested to it during the short program.

Check out the highlights of the event earlier, and our interview with the Robinsons Appliances executive too.

They awarded 200,000 peso worth of GC's to Catherine Trajano and Terese Opena who bought freezers (for their frozen goods business), TV's and airconditioner (for home use). Just like them, you can get to use Home Credit at Robinsons Appliances stores nationwide, they are still at it, doing more promos in different forms so aside from getting your home appliance, you get to win prizes from them too.

Congratulations to all the winners! I'm sure there's a lot of you thinking of getting an airconditioner during these hot months, you should try Home Credit if you are buying something from Robinsons Appliances.

TV5 Ready for RIO2016 Live Coverage!

I am still trying to get over those olympic qualifiers where the Philippines proved to be at par with the world's best and I just learned that it's only 5 days to go before the actual Summer Olympics start at Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The most awaited part will happen on August 6 the open ceremonies wherein these olympians will march down the grand stadium so they could wave to the crowd and represent their country in the most awesome sports event that only happens every 4 years.

TV5 has been able to get the biggest sports events covered, not to mention the last FIBA Olympics Qualifying Tournament just last month and they've done a spectacular job doing that. This RIO2016 won't be different as they will show some of the most exciting matches and events that our own 12 Filipino athletes will compete in. The rest of us at home should cheer because once they step into the ring or run on that track, we need to give them the support they deserve so we could win that elusive gold medal. 

Catch the LIVE RIO OLYMPICS broadcast that will happen 7AM on August 6 at TV5 or you can stream it on www.SPORTS5.ph and all other affiliated channels on cable and UHF TV. The RIO2016 coverage is of course presented and powered by PLDT and SMART, the country's biggest network! Let's all get that Filipino heart pumping when it starts on August 6 and end on August 22, 2016!

TV5 Praised with "Bilang Pilipino" Election Coverage

I know I did, and a bunch of countless Filipinos I know. TV5's coverage is bar none the winner in the recent election coverage. They might have been one of the smallest news crews around but they've planned it well and used technologies so they can stream easily anywhere even with a phone. Aside from that, they heavily used graphics so ordinary people would be able to easily understand what the counts mean, that includes data from previous Presidential elections, and what the transparency server meant for each and everyone who wanted clean elections.

This is the work and synergy of the MVP Group of Companies. TV5 achieved its fast, accurate election results and updates because of them with the backing of the biggest network in the country Smart Communications and PLDT. It became apparent that the use of these technologies and proper planning was the reason why they did great in broadcast, digital, mobile and social media channels. TV5 President and CEO Emmanuel Lorenzana said "This in-depth election coverage was a product of a right goal, team work, intensive planning and preparation. We wanted the coverage to provide intensive information made available across all media. We had appreciation from viewers and netizens because of how fast information including election results was made available both online and via television."

The Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility even lauded them saying it is the clear winner in terms of news and production value. They complemented the ones I appreciated earlier like the voter demographics, voter preference, step-by- step procedures in the election process, exit survey figures and other data-driven pieces which was available most of the time in their channel's display. Mind you they did this in an uninterrupted 48 hour coverage so that really shows dedication. They'll be continuing to provide the best their network could provide. With the powers that be of PLDT, Smart, Voyager, Talas, News5, News5Everywhere, Interaksyon, The Philippine Star and Business World, you'll get the information fast and effective until June 30 when President Digong comes in.

Stay tuned for TV5's Bilang Pilipino coverage, as I will too!

Sam Concepcion Endorses Chef's Noodle Philippines

It was a little crowded a few days ago in Chef's Noodle, the first international franchise of a brand from South Korea. I wasn't surprised because it is after all Sam Concepcion that is going to be there. Other celebrities like Grace Lee and couple Lloyd & Shamcey Supsup-Lee also endorsed this restaurant. It's a short 5 minute drive from where I live which is just in Robinsons Magnolia - Aurora Boulevard in Quezon City. They promise to serve the best Korean dishes and make your KPop dreams come true.   

Sam Concepcion embodies the strong, active, energetic characteristics of Korean youth much like the same with Filipinos and he says he stays at joints like these because the food is good and the prices are affordable. They have the usual things on the menu but they also have specials. I'd have to say the truth and tell you that I didn't like the others in the buffet prolly because they were serving a lot of people during the launch and prepared them ahead of time. The food might be better when you order them on a regular day because as I said it was a little too crowded that afternoon that I had to eat outside the restaurant (food court I mean).

They have average quality maki/sushi, but quite good fried rice, jap chae and spicy tofu. I think they've got that spicy tofu nailed because the texture is still nice and I love the kick the sauce entails. If I'm going back I'll probably get to order that again.

A bit of trivia: this was also the place where Sam admitted the incident with Anne Curtis- so it did happen. He also said that he totally understands where she is coming from because he knows Anne was just probably being protective. Sam Concepcion is still going strong with Jasmine Curtis who is his girlfriend. 

Make sure you visit Chef's Noodle if you want to satisfy your Korean dish cravings. They've got more items on the menu that would be really great to try like the Bibimbap, Haemul Seafood Pajun, Leek Shrimp Twigim, Chicken Kas, Spicy Dukbokki and their desserts ice cream/gelato. Their Operations Manager Ms. Nancy Go says they promise to delight you with more signature dishes and new ones, a welcome statement to customers that afternoon. 

They have stores in Robinsons Magnolia, University Mall, Atlanta Center, SM North Edsa, The Block, Robinsons Malolos and soon in SM Megamall. Check out the channels below if you want to see special offers and contests from Chef's Noodle.

Make Sure They Are Covered

I have always found health care to be an important part of our lives. It has been one thing that I wanted to always get this for my folks because it is very expensive to get sick here or elsewhere. My Mom is already 65 which is the ceiling age for this particular benefit from the office but I still want them to have additional medicare supplement plans so I would not have to worry about them. My Dad on the other hand is still young and renewed his medical coverage this month. I know how he has to sometimes take regular visits to the doctor and get his heart checked and I am quite confident it will be all better. He was asked to undergo angioplasty procedures last year and he is a little hard headed. He chose not to do it anymore because he saw what my other relatives went through when he did this. Although that part got me worried because even if we think this procedure may be too much for his condition; the doctor still said so... and we are going to have second opinions on this matter I am sure.

The US President still has this on his priorities and has come across large challenges with the republicans and some of the democrats because it is very hard to fund this in the midst of economic turmoil. What is funny is that there was a woman who even went all out of her way to ask wedding proposals in YOUTUBE so she could get health insurance coverage. She got lots of proposals too as a matter of fact. If you think about it, it has something to do with the importance of getting covered. It is expensive to get sick nowadays and the last thing that you should get yourself into is to go out in the corporate world and not have it.

I am still lucky I have my folks covered. Some are not that lucky but if ever you have something to prioritize when you get work, make sure this is in your list since most of them offer this for free. I always want to get my folks taken cared of, I'm sure you do too.
