Half a year into the pandemic, staying at home has become the new normal. Most of the activities you’ll engage in, whether for work or for leisure, will be confined to the four corners of your home. However, just because you can’t go outside doesn’t mean you have to compromise. Working from home, or relaxing after a long day, doesn’t have to be a drag. In the new normal, having access to technology that won’t let you down is important. Every detail, no matter how small, contributes in uplifting experience and enjoyment. To show just how enjoyable staying home can be, LG Philippines recently held an online event to showcase its newest home entertainment system offerings.
Focusing on ‘Life in Details’, LG collaborated with influencers and tastemakers from all walks of life to discuss how LG’s latest home entertainment options are the perfect upgrade as you stay at home. Each of the personalities had their own unique experiences with LG’s home entertainment products. They talked about how they spent more time at home with these, they were able to integrate it to their lives, both for work and for play.
Multi-talented actor Mikael Daez delved into how LGUltraGear™ gaming monitors leveled up his gameplay and how the UltraWide™ monitor helped in working-from-home, while acclaimed film director Mik Red gushed about the unrivaled cinematic experience offered by LG OLED TV. PBA all-star LA Tenorio shared his observations on how self-lit pixels excel in sports, and beauty queen Megan Young admired the fast response time the OLED TV offers. Tatler Homes Editor, Stephanie Zubiri discussed how LG OLED fits perfectly inside a smart home thanks to its AI technology, while long-time LG brand ambassador James Deakin went into detail about pure colors of LGReal 8K NanoCell TVs.
Headlining LG’s home entertainment event was the LGOLED GX TV. LG OLED screen technology uses self-lit pixels, meaning they work independently to emit their own light. This allows for perfect black levels, outstanding colors, infinite contrast, and the sharpest details which ultimately uncovers all the detai4ls in darker scenes. As detailed by LG’s influencers, LG’s OLED technology is a perfect fit for any lifestyle and any interest. Whether your TV use caters more to Cinematic, Sports, Gaming, or Lifestyle, LG OLED TV provides the best experience possible.
Another heavyweight in LG’s lineup of TVs is the NanoCellReal 8K TV. By offering accurate, lifelike color, one is able to experience unparalleled realism at home. LG NanoCelltechnology produces pure colors by applying about 1nm-sized nanoparticles to filter out dull color and enhance color purity, giving you vivid and accurate hues.
Perfectly complementing the LG OLED and LG NanoCell8K are two new speakers – the XBoom Go PL5 and PL7. These are portable Bluetooth speakers that give any room, big or small, an immersive surround sound experience. To bring their XBOOM speakers to the next level, LG has collaborated with Meridian, the British pioneers and one of the pillars of High-Resolution audio.
For gamers and would-be streamers, LG showcased two of its newest monitors. LG UltraGear™ monitors are the perfect way to get started with esports and gaming, owing to their versatility in performing other tasks without losing a step. Plug it in, play a game, and immerse yourself. LGUltraWide™ monitors are the perfect working-from-home companion, giving you a wide screen area to multi-task and boost your productivity. A whole new world awaits.
LG Managing Director Inkwun Heo spoke about the role that home entertainment plays in the new normal. “With the extended amount of time we’re now spending at home and in the foreseeable future, we really get to see Life in Details. We learn to appreciate how technology makes our life better. As staying at home becomes the ‘new normal’, I assure you, with our new Home Entertainment System, you would want to stay at home.”

I am writing this as of the moment because this is what I feel right now. In this time of Pandemic crisis (Covid19/NCOV) sobrang nahihirapan akong hanapin ang motivation ko. Parang gusto ko nalang wala akong gawin dahil din siguro nakikita kong ganun din ang ginagawa nang ibang tao. I’m counting myself in, pero sa loob ko, dapat maging productive ako.
Dapat madami ako ginagawa for myself. Like isipin ko yung negosyo ko for the next step, i-home therapy ko manlang si Kuya Jansen at Kuya Johan, Turuan ko magbasa si Janel, maglinis manlang sa kwarto namin, gumising nang maaga at asikasuhin lahat nang lutuin. Sa dami nang dapat kong gawin at sa dami nang iniisip ko ilan lang dyan ang nata-tap o nagagawa ko kaya feeling ko I AM A FAILURE MOM.
Pero, Alam nyo ba kung bakit ako hindi sumusuko at nagpapatuloy kahit pakiramdam ko hindi ako mabuting INA para gampanan lahat nang TAMA ko dapat gawin? Yun ay dahil..
Alam ko sa sarili ko na, “KUNG HINDI AKO ANG GAGAWA PARA SA KANILA, SINO ANG AASAHAN KO?!”
Kelangan ko tanggapin ang sarili ko na hindi ako perpektong tao, WALANG PERPEKTONG TAO. I’m just pushing myself too hard para gawin lahat lahat nang tama. Natuto akong tanggapin sa sarili ko na “OKAY LANG” na hindi ako magaling sa lahat pero kaya kong pag-aralan basta wag ko lang pilitin at madaliin ang sarili ko.
Kaya kong matapos ang lahat at matutunan lahat basta gugustuhin ko. Kelangan lang natin paalalahanan ang mga sarili natin na wag sumuko. Palaging may Pag-Asa. We can always feel that we’re failing in each and every aspect of our life pero hindi tayo “QUITTER”, Hindi tayo madaling sumuko. Yan ang katangian mo na kaya mong ipagmalaki.
Kelangan natin bumalik sa rason natin kung bakit natin sinimulan, Ano ba goal mo? Ano bang rason mo? Ang magiging outcome kapag nagawa mo lahat nang Kelangan mo gawin? Kelangan mo questionin ang sarili mo. Bakit mo ginagawa ang bagay-bagay?
Sinulat ko ito dahil pakiramdam ko palagi akong mag-isa, walang makatulong sakin. Ang tanging Isipin mo at palagi mong gawin ay ang “PAGPILI SA SARILI MO!” Piliin mo ang sarili mo. Pakiramdaman mo kung Sino ang nasa tabi mo. Meron o walang katulong kelangan mo pa ring maging committed sa sarili mo. Kaya ngayong natapos ko nang ibuhos ang nararamdaman ko, balik na ulit ako sa dapat kong gawin at harapin sa buhay.
One of the best things with living in the Philippines is the relatively low cost of living. As compared to other countries, we get to enjoy a lot of necessities and even luxuries at a lower price. Sadly, however, electricity is not one of them. The Philippines currently has the 2nd highest electricity rate in the whole of Asia. Given this fact, it’s only natural to look for all opportunities one can have in saving and being energy and cost efficient.
Global leader and technology innovator LG Electronics has been at the forefront of designing with the consumer in mind. Nowadays, it isn’t enough for home appliances and electronics to be just state-of-the-art. It has to be at the same time, cleanly designed, simple, minimalist, multifunctional, and above everything, energy and cost efficient.
LG’s advances in Inverter technology has always been about innovating towards one goal – less energy consumption, more savings for the end user. Through efficient design, consumers can live a lifestyle they’ve always dreamed of without having to worry about the electric bill every second. Each product has been designed in such a way that it goes above and beyond what’s expected.
The LG Smart Inverter Washing Machine, for example, is so energy efficient that it can use only 67wh (watt hours) of energy to do a cycle – less than what it takes to iron a shirt or 4 minutes of using a blow-dryer. For refrigerators, LG’s Inverter Linear Compressor keeps your food fresh longer by maintaining temperature fluctuation within ±0.5℃. This allows you to cook with fresh ingredients every day for your family, and minimizes spoilage. With air-conditioners, staying cool is made more efficient with the LG DUAL Inverter Compressor which reduces energy use up to 50％. Given our tropical climate and humidity, your family can enjoy a cool breeze whenever they want while using less electricity.
LG is designed to make life better. Whether it’s energy and cost efficiency, connectivity across multiple devices, or even artificial intelligence, every facet of LG’s design is conceptualized with efficiency and simplicity, giving you and your family more time and more savings.

We have all been dreaming to find the one and, the Universe will sometimes give us at least a reasonable 60% / 40% chance in winning the cards we choose to play. Most often than not, we fall into the 60% black hole along with the people who share the same dating horror stories.
We are all aware, dating is tough, it is tricky and draining. People tend to use a lot of psychological tactics and mind games as if we are in a thriller Netflix series. We get tired, but once you find that someone you enjoy hanging out with and matches your energy, you wouldn’t want to let them go.
Here are a couple dating mishaps that we can laugh at (and learn from) –
The One That Got the Bill “I sometimes daydream of that perfect date, you know, like candle-lit dinner by the beach with my feet on the sand. I mean, it is the first date, right? So, when I met up with someone I met on a dating app, I was ecstatic! I prepared everything from the dress I would wear to the littlest things – like, the lipstick color I would use. It was all good and, I was starting to like him because we share the same interests and he was so funny! But, when it was time to pay for the bill, his eyes went wide and asked if I could pay for it because, apparently, he “forgot” his ATM card and had no cash on hand. As an independent woman who can buy and pay meals on my own, I said yes, but got really turned-off. I mean, “forgetting” necessities like ATM card and cash on a first date? The guy must have a lot on his mind.” – Jojo, PR Practitioner
I Forgot That You Existed “I came from a long-term relationship, so dating became an alien term for me. My friend tried to set me up with his college friend and I thought, why not try? He, then, picked me up at my house and had a complete plan of what we would be doing for the day – I was amazed. I mean, a gay guy who can plan, +10 points for you! And, he was so neat and smells good that when he reached and kissed me on the cheek, no sweat and scalp odor at all (considering he just came from the gym). We were en route to our first venue when he blurted that he needed to drop by the grocery store to check on something. I said yes and decided to stay inside the car since he said, “Be back in 5!” without knowing that what he really meant was, “be back in 5 hours!” I stayed inside the car the whole day and he totally forgot I was there. I had to call my friend and tell him it was over when it hadn’t even started yet.” – Jay, Ad Guy
Snow White Queen “My first date was with my college crush. She looked just like an angel and when I finally found the confidence to ask her out and watch movie, I was shocked that she said yes. When we met at the theatre, she was wearing her little black dress, and her hair was literally her crowning glory. But she kept on scratching her head, I shrugged it off and tried to enjoy the day with her. We were having fun not until I was about to lean my head on her shoulders and to my surprise, a flaky truth came out! An angel with flakes on her head – totally turned off. Before I brought her home, I subtly told her how anti-dandruff shampoo works magic! – Chris, Artist
Thunder Thighs “I love meeting new people, so I go out on a date as often as I can. When I met this guy on a dating app, I thought, “pwede na.” One night, when we were having dinner, I saw him looked at the voluptuous body of the girl at the bar and said, “kapag hindi sexy dapat hindi na nagsusuot ng ganyan,” I was surprised. So, when we were done eating, I stood up and whispered, “kapag hindi naman masyadong cute hindi na dapat nagcocomment ng ganyan.” I kissed him on the cheek and walked out.” – Jem G., Broker
Thank You, Text! “I was so excited to tell my friend how my date went, so I texted her, “girl, sobrang kinikilig ako. Gusto ko sya.” Within a second, I got a reply not from my friend, but from the guy. Turned out, I sent the text to the wrong person! It was so embarrassing that I refused a second date when he asked me.” – Chin, Student
First dates are one of the most crucial stages in meeting your soon-to-be partner and, we make sure that we put our best foot forward. But, sometimes, these dates will also either make the relationship go on forever or, stop right there and then.
This Heart’s Month, we will regain ourselves and bring back that dating confidence that was once buried six feet under. Head & Shoulders is here to help you be confident enough to put your heads together even on the first date! It also completely removes scalp odor, itch and leaves you 100% dandruff-free. You’ll never know, you might be in for that life-long promise.
During the holidays late last year, LG, together with Netflix, held an intimate launch event for their Christmas animated feature film Klaus. True to the holiday spirit and the lessons ingrained in the movie, LG pledged to donate over 1 Million pesos worth of Home Appliances to Shelter of Hope/Silungan ng Pag-Asa, a temporary home of cancer-stricken kids from provinces.
The donations, which included a wide range of home appliances that will vastly improve the quality of life and enjoyment in the children’s home, was recently formally turned over into a small gathering to celebrate the month of love, as well as World Cancer Day which fell on Feb 4th. LG Managing Director Inkwun Heo, together with #TeamLG, gave the donations to Pastor Junior Antiñero of Shelter of Hope.

“It is our privilege to be partners with Shelter of Hope. The bravery and strength of these children is something we can all look up to. To be able to give them happiness, no matter how small, is a goal that we constantly work towards for.” Mr. Heo said.
Pastor Junior gamely accepted LG’s gift. “We are deeply grateful of LG’s unwavering support for our cause. I, and more importantly the children, really appreciate it.”
After the donations were given away, the children from Shelter of Hope gave the audience a heartwarming treat with a moving performance.
The donations came in part of the #ShareTheGoodLifewithLG campaign during the holidays, where as a way of giving back to the community, LG dedicated a portion of each sale of each product to go towards furnishing the home of the Shelter of Hope.
The overwhelming feeling of Director Heo during Kids performances
God Bless you more LG for being generous and thank you for being the BIGGEST BLESSING of these Childrens life.
I feel so blessed and happy all at the same time watching these kids and can’t stop thinking how parents cope up with these feelings. How they accept the fact and reality that their children aren’t sure with their own lives.
Thanks Miss Millet for inviting me. Nice to meet you.
And yours truly on her #OOTD for LG EVENT!

As part of his Comprehensive Education Reform Agenda, and in an effort to eliminate child hunger and malnutrition, House Ways and Means Committee Chair Rep. Joey Sarte Salceda (Albay, 2nd District) has filed a bill guaranteeing access to nutritious school meals for all kindergarten and grade school students.
“The most critical part of cognitive development is childhood, and when children are hungry, we cannot expect them to develop their full intellectual potential,”Salceda said.“That’s why we must consider child nutrition as part of our investment in education. Pointless kasing papasukin sa eskwela, damihan ang subject, tapos yung bata, gutom pala.”
Under Salceda’s bill, the Department of Education will implement a school-based feeding program for a minimum of one hundred twenty feeding days per school year to be done five days a week with one feeding activity per school day.
“Under my bill, children will at least be able to receive one nutritious meal while in school. The bill will also provide vitamin and mineral supplements, and milk products,”Salceda added.
The bill also encourages food production in schools, and the sourcing of food stuff for feeding programs from local farmers.
“In a sense, my bill also ensures a sure market for farmer produce. Nakakapanghinayang kapag nakikita mong nag-oovershoot ang production ng ilang gulay, kung pwede naming gamitin sa feeding program.” Salceda said.
Salceda’s proposal also encourages the DepEd to tap persons trained by the Technical Education and Skills Development Academy (TESDA) on food preparation, handling, and storage.
“In that way, one of its positive consequences is job creation and training on child nutrition.”Salceda said.
“The 2018 Expanded National Nutrition Survey of the United Nations Children’s Fund shows alarming undernutrition rates among Filipino children. Stunting is declining slowly, but the decline is marginal, from 34 percent in 2003 to 30 percent in 2018. This affects some 3.5 million children under 5 years of age,” Salceda’s explanatory note for the bill says.
“While just over 5 per cent of children were wasted, the numerical equivalent of this rate is around 650,000 children. Among them, some 300,000 are with the severest form of malnutrition and require treatment. The Philippines also has the highest rate of low birthweight – 1 in 5 children – in ASEAN.”
“These results correlate with the country’s performance in the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa), which covered 79 countries, where Filipino students fared worst in reading comprehension and second lowest in both mathematical and scientific literacy. Underdevelopment of the brain and the body tend to result in poor performance in reading, math, science and all other education metrics.”
“As I said, we will move towards the Finnish model of education, where workloads are light, teachers teach well, students are job-ready, and school meals are guaranteed absolutely free,”Salceda said.
Earlier, Salceda has filed the Teacher Empowerment Act to lighten teachers’ administrative load and improve the quality of teaching, the K to 12 Reform Act to make students more job-ready, and the Meister Schools Act to close the country’s highly-technical skills gap.
