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.

From the creation of one-of-a-kind recipes to application of advanced technology in bread and pastry production, the country’s baking industry has gone a long way in terms of adapting to the changing times.
And to help support Philippine’s flourishing baking industry, URC flour and Pasta Division partnered with Department of Education (DepEd) to co-create a toolkit that will guide teachers as they help aspiring bakers and pastry chefs be a step closer to their dreams.
Senior high students enrolled to K-12’s Bread and Pastry production course, under the Technological Vocational Livelihood Track, are set to learn industry standards and practices through multimedia materials about the basics of baking.
The toolkit features instructional videos, presentation materials, lesson guides, and rubrics about baking bread, pastries, cakes and other flour based treats. These were collated by experts and culinary professors to ensure relevance and alignment to DepEd’s curriculum.
”Nowadays, we are seeing a thriving baking industry in the country. More students are becoming interested in the art of creating breads and pastries and we are happy to support them in their journey”. said Ellison Dean Lee, URC Flour VP and Business Unit General Manager. “As part of our Flourish Pilipinas campaign and with the vision to help develop young bakers, we are distributing these media toolkits to select schools nationwide to help teachers shape their students to become future world class bakers.”
URC Flour brands include Blend 100 Flour, Continental All Purpose-Flour, Daisy Cake Flour, Fibr A+ Whole Wheat Flour, Globe First-Class Flour, My Rose Soft Flour, and Sampaguita Soft Flour.

Why it is so hard for us to entrust our money to any financial advisors though they’re legit or licensed to do so. Of course, it’s our hard-earned money. Who are the only person we can trust about this matter? Yes, our financial advisors must be the one we know, it could be our relatives, friends, referred by our friends or our partners in life. But, what if, we don’t have any relatives or friends in this line of business? Do we settle down with referred by any? Yes, we do! But I have to do some research, at least, I know something about the product they’re selling.
Some questions I have to consider before buying is:
1. If she/he’s the one who I can entrust my money with?
2. If she/he’s knowledgeable about the one she/he is selling?
3. What is his/her intention with me? Is she/he legit?
4. If she/he is just taking advantage of me.
5. Do I really need this insurance?
Because of these so many unanswered questions we ended up to Do-It-Yourself financial planning. But despite the growing information and advice on personal finance, many still lack an investing mindset. This means looking beyond traditional savings instruments to achieve future goals. In fact, Sun Life’s SOLAR (Study of Lifestyle and Relationships) reveals that only 38% of Filipinos are willing to take investment risks in order to earn more and that only 8% actually invest. Furthermore, only 16% claim to have life insurance despite 88% of Filipinos worrying about their financial situation in case something happens to the breadwinner.
Clearly, many Filipinos still need guidance and advice on how to achieve lifetime financial security. A role that a Sun Life Financial Advisor can fulfill with their professionalism, a caring attitude, a winning mindset, and an inspired vision.
Insurance always seen as an added expense rather than a source of funds
It’s a brilliant match!
Sunlife Financial Advisors with their matched clients — Match made in heaven
In time for the Financial Independence Month of June, Sun Life puts the spotlight on the value of meeting a trusted financial partner via the #SunLifePerfectMatch campaign. Here, the country’s first and #1 life insurer aims to educate Filipinos on choosing the right Financial Advisor to help them with your financial goals. And with the Advisor Match tool, your perfect Sun Life advisor may just be a click away.
New launched “Talk to An Advisor” tool
How does it work? Simply go to our website to access Advisor Match. Enter your location to generate a list of advisors in your vicinity. Each profile contains a short description of their credentials and how they can extend help – a very nifty way to show you what they have to offer. Such freedom to choose a Financial Advisor is both innovative and relevant, especially for consumers who want personalized service on-demand and at their convenience.
Make your brighter choice!
More than a handy online tool, Advisor Match is about empowering Filipinos to be more exacting and selective when looking for a financial partner. A series of online videos called “My Dream Advisor” puts a humorous twist on the challenging journey that comes with seeking one’s perfect advisor match. Taking a cue from the 90s dating game shows, the videos feature searchers faced with a rather disappointing line-up of advisor searchees – each embodying undesirable characteristics that have unfairly stereotyped life insurance agents for the longest time.

Searcher: Looking for Financial Advisor
For its part, Sun Life emphasizes four core values that every financial advisor should possess: (1) professional in doing business; (2) one who cares for your welfare; (3) a desire to win for your dreams; and (4) an inspiring commitment to serve rather than sell. These values define Sun Life’s over 11,000 financial advisors. “We’ve seen a growing interest in personal finance lately with the number of inquiries and requests for advisor referrals doubling the past couple of years. We are happy to share that we are now empowering Filipinos to choose their very own Sun Life Advisor with just the click of a button. With Sun Life’s Advisor Match, they can be assured of finding competent and committed financial advisors to help them achieve their financial goals,” affirmed Sun Life Philippines Chief Marketing Officer Ms. Mylene Lopa. After all, finding your #SunLifePerfectMatch should never be difficult.

And here’s your #MamaFarrah posing and feeling Miss Universe for this event.
My take on this event is, I realized that the most beneficial insurance plan to buy is Life Insurance and Memorial Plans; Why Memorial Plans? We all get there right? And why Life Insurance? For me, life and death is the only things we have to be prepared of and nothing follows. And I, Thank You!
