Take masterpieces from the Louvre home with Samsung’s The Frame
The most iconic Samsung lifestyle TV opens virtual doors to the world's renowned museum

 

SEOUL, Korea – September 16, 2021 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced a new partnership with the iconic Musée du Louvre. Through this partnership, Samsung will continue to develop the Art Store on its lifestyle TV, The Frame, through an exclusive artwork partnership with the Louvre in Paris, France.

With new artworks from the Louvre joining the collection, The Frame now boasts a catalog with over 1,500 works of art from 42 different countries that consumers can enjoy in 4K picture quality from museums and galleries around the world, including the Prado Museum in Madrid, the Albertina Museum in Vienna, the Tate Modern in London, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Hermitage State Museum in Saint Petersburg and LUMAS.

“Ever since we launched our lifestyle TV portfolio in 2017, we have focused on developing the Art Store platform with prestigious partners. We want to offer much more than a television, inviting Art into the homes of The Frame owners everywhere. This catalog lists works by hundreds of artists, covering diverse periods, from ancient civilizations to modern art,” explained Wonjin Lee, President and Head of Service Biz Team at Samsung Electronics. “This year, we are proud to join forces with one of the most famous museums in the world, the Louvre, to enhance this collection and offer a taste of French heritage throughout the world,” he added.

 

Admire the Louvre’s treasures from your own home

By entering into a partnership with the Louvre^[1], Samsung offers all The Frame owners a chance to explore the most visited museum in the world through 40 pieces of artwork and photographs. This selection includes must-see masterpieces, such as the Mona Lisa and The Wedding Feast at Cana, as well as photos of the majestic Louvre galleries, its architecture, and museum grounds (Louvre Pyramid, Tuileries Garden, etc.). A short description of each work gives users a glimpse into their background and history.

Samsung and the Louvre also plan to unveil other exclusive content for The Frame users later this year.

“The Louvre is a venue of discovery, imbued with emotion, a spectacular setting for artistic masterpieces. Admiring works from its collection every day, at home, as well as views of the building, galleries, and gardens, is a wonderful way to see and understand the extraordinary beauty of this museum,” said Yann Le Touher, Head of Development, Brand Licensing and Commercial Partnerships of the Louvre.

 

Ultra-slim design and exceptional picture quality

The Frame features a unique and customizable design that sets it apart from the rest. Designed as a TV when on and art when off, The Frame is an innovative digital canvas that reflects an individual’s personal style. The 2021 version of the lifestyle TV offers new custom options to complement every space and style, with two frame designs: modern (available in white, teak, beige, and brown) and beveled (available in white and brick red).

To complete the artwork appeal, The Frame can be hung flush to the wall on an ultra-slim mount and connected to a One Connect box via a single translucent^[2] cable that integrates all TV connectors including the power source. Users can also set The Frame anywhere in the room on a Studio Stand^[3].

In addition to its gallery-ready design, The Frame provides a vibrant 4K QLED picture quality powered by Quantum Dot Technology that enables 100% color volume, immersing viewers in a world of rich and realistic colors.

One of the country’s premiere pawnshops celebrates 67 years of service to the Filipino

 

For more than six decades, one of the country’s leading pawnshops, Villarica has continuously served the Filipino public with a host of services that have evolved with the changing times as well as the needs of the Filipinos.

Boasting of having one of the highest, if not the highest appraisal rates in the industry, Villarica Pawnshop has made itself one of the most trusted go-to institutions especially in the time of the pandemic with more than 600 branches nationwide that have remained open to provide instant cash.

Mr. Lester Villarica said, “From the beginning, my grandmother, Paz Villarica has always mentioned to us that the reason for the business was to be of service. Her guiding principle which she handed down to my father, Atty. Henry Villarica, has led us to push ourselves to create a balance of keeping the business healthy and at the same time ensure that our countrymen enjoy the best value, the greatest of benefits, and above all the best service that we can offer.”

This guiding principle has led Villarica to establish internal control policies designed to safeguard the valuables of clients while under custodianship as it continued to employ a good number of security measures beyond those required by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, all in the name of better service.

The top executive further explained that the core of the business is truly the desire to help customers get much needed funds in the most convenient way. This mission is evident in serving valued clients in a quick, convenient, and professional manner through expert valuation, reliable service, and accessible branches nationwide in order to support Filipinos in providing for families and loved ones when needed most.

“As we foresaw the need for our Overseas Filipino Workers to have a convenient way of sending money home to loved ones and for their loved ones to receive support reliably, in 2008 we began our remittance service as a partner of Western Union. And in 2013, we launched Villarica Cash Padala, a domestic money transfer service, and in the same year, began our foreign exchange services,” stressed Mr. Villarica.

“The purpose of the pawnshop industry has transformed in the eyes of the Filipino public. Pawnshops have evolved to become quick access locations for cash especially in underserved areas by bank and financial institutions which is why our vision is to make our presence felt in major cities and towns in the Philippines especially in Luzon.”

Mr. Villarica expounded further as he explained that Filipinos have to be prepared for any eventuality and for any emergency. Unexpected expenses, the reduction of employment opportunities and security, coupled with keeping one’s family safe and in the peak of health during these uncertain times as we all face the pandemic, are reasons why Villarica Pawnshop, one of the country’s leading pawnshops remains steadfast in its commitment.

“As we celebrate our 67th anniversary, we will continue to provide the highest appraisal rate and the best terms and conditions to our clients in the spirit of healthy competition with other major players in the pawnshop industry, and our commitment to serve the Filipino people remain,” ended Mr. Villarica.

DTI Launches 2021 Hybrid National Food Fair with Digital Mall Opening

DTI Launches 2021 Hybrid National Food Fair with Digital Mall Opening

 

Combining the reach and flexibility of digital market platforms with the excitement of a traditional physical event, the Department of Trade and Industry - Bureau of Domestic Trade Promotion (DTI-BDTP) has conceptualized a year-long program of activities that would promote micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) engaged in the food industry. This is the 2021 Hybrid National Food Fair, which consists of virtual components such as the series of online events culminating in a physical food fair towards the end of the year.

To formally launch the 2021 Hybrid National Food Fair, a virtual ceremony will be held on September 17 via the BDTP Facebook page. This will also mark the officially opening of the National Food Fair Digital Mall hosted on UnionBank GlobalLinker, which will serve as the permanent e-commerce platform for food entrepreneurs from the country's 16 regions. For starters, 836 food products from 108 MSMEs will be showcased in the National Food Fair Digital Mall.

The official opening ceremony will be led by Director Marievic Bonoan of the Bureau of Domestic Trade Promotion, Undersecretary  Abdulgani Macatoman of the DTI Trade Promotions Group and Undersecretary Blesila Lantayona of the DTI Regional Operations Group. Representing UnionBank GlobalLinker at the event is Jose Paulo Soliman, Vice President and SME Segments Head, Customer Experience Group. The event is open to the public and will be livestreamed on the BDTP Facebook page on Friday, September 17, at 9:00 am.

The formal opening kicks off a 10-day program which will include business talks and webinars, cooking demos, a wine mixing show, product showcases, daily raffle draws, and many others. From September 17 to 26, the public can join the online events by signing up through Zoom or on Facebook.

The year-long 2021 Hybrid National Food Fair has been an on-going series of activities, all geared to nurture and sustain food entrepreneurs by expanding their market presence. Some of the activities held earlier this year include:

·        MSME Webinar Series to help the participants prepare for the 2021 Hybrid National Food Fair and equip them with skills to hurdle new challenges in growing their business. The webinar series was conducted by the Philippine Trade Training Center  via Zoom and Facebook Live last May 5 to 7, 2021, and reached 24,200 views on social media.

·        Shopee hosted its Online National Food Fair last May, featuring thousands of products from MSME Stores and the Go Lokal Official Store.

·        Last August, the Lazada Love Local 8.8 Sale included participating MSMEs from 13 regions nationwide and promoted Philippine cuisine with livestream cooking demos from Chef Oliver John Gomez, through the Center for Culinary Arts.

·        Meanwhile, Mayani.ph, a farm-to-table e-commerce platform is another venue for the Online National Food Fair, featuring fresh vegetables, fruits, and upland crops of  the Cordillera Administrative Region.

Contingent on community safety guidelines, a physical National Food Fair to be held in a mall setting is also part of the 2021 program, to bring back the hustle and bustle of face-to-face buying and selling. Participating exhibitors will offer a variety of food products, including processed food and beverages, fresh produce and organic products, fresh and dried seafood, cooked food, halal products and cuisine, condiments and other cooking ingredients, dairy products, health and wellness products, food supplements, traditional cooking tools/equipment, food packaging materials and allied products, baskets and bayongs, labeling and food processing equipment, and even label and packaging design services.

The 2021 Hybrid National Food Fair is organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) through the Bureau of Domestic Trade Promotion (BDTP) and with support from the DTI-Regional Operations Group (ROG).

JOHNSON’S® launches upgraded Milk+Rice range through Powerville, providing #PoweredUpProtection for growing babies

JOHNSON’S® launches upgraded Milk+Rice range through Powerville, providing #PoweredUpProtection for growing babies

 

Many parents consider their babies turning one year old a milestone to be celebrated. It marks their entry into a new age and stage in their childhood– the toddler stage. This stage is especially exciting for first-time parents­– as they witness a lot of firsts in their babies’ growth and development. Toddlers in this stage of development are significantly more mobile compared to when they were infants. These growing babies are now able to crawl, climb, and even begin to walk, leaving parents trailing behind and worried about their baby’s skin. Babies’ skin is one of the causes of concern as they become more adventurous because their toddlers are now beginning to encounter different surfaces with the uncertainty of how their skin would react. With this, moms are looking for the best way to provide the protection their babies’ developing skin needs. 

JOHNSON’S® Baby, as the leading brand for childcare products, provides the best solution for protecting growing babies’ skin through its newly upgraded Milk+Rice Bath and Lotion. The reformulation calls for 100% more milk proteins and real rice extracts that protect, so when used together, both Bath and Lotion create a gentle layer of protection on baby’s skin against skin microdamage– which is characterized by dryness causing redness and irritation. The company launched the reformulation of the Milk+Rice Bath and Lotion through its campaign, #PoweredUpProtection, which centers around the kulit-likot phase of toddlers and growing babies. The campaign features celebrity mombassador Anne Curtis and her daughter Dahlia, who both  appeared in their first TV Commercial with JOHNSON’S® Baby.

The campaign launched with its virtual event called the JOHNSON’S® Milk+Rice Powerville that unveiled and celebrated the reformulated range with our partner Mombassador communities, media partners, as well as the public‑--it was the brand’s first ever activation of its kind. Crismer Tiria, senior marketing manager at Johnson & Johnson Philippines Inc., remarked, “Our team was excited to open the gates to JOHNSON’S® Milk+Rice Powerville. We wanted the brand to adapt to how events are done these days to still reach our audiences who are mostly staying at home.”

 

Anne was able to share her excitement for the campaign and the launch event itself, “I couldn’t be happier when I learned that I would be taking part in my JOHNSON’S® family’s first virtual event of its kind. I hope that all my fellow moms were able to know more about how they can best take care of their little ones and of course, had fun.”

 

Guests were able to explore the different spots in the digital town from their personal devices. Among the spots of Powerville was the Pavilion, where they were able to watch celebrity mombassador Anne Curtis engaging in a dialogue with head of Scientific Engagement for Baby Care APAC Robert Kwon, and Dr. Marivi Dizon, a pediatric dermatologist. They talked about the importance of providing the #PoweredUpProtection toddlers need, as well as letting the audience know more about the upgraded Milk+Rice formula.

 

Robert Kwon explained the motivation behind the new formula, “Johnson’s Baby has always been the leading brand for baby care because of our efforts to innovate and improve our products. We constantly conduct studies and research to make sure that our products are the best quality and designed for babies. Our highlight product for today, the new Johnson’s Milk+Rice contains 100% more milk proteins than the previous product, that can help nourish skin, plus real rice extracts that can help protect.” He introduced the Milk+Rice products as the solution to combatting the common threats of skin microdamage, while Dr. Marivi explained more about what these are. “Skin microdamage means that there is an effect on babies’ skin coming from impact or friction, even if we don’t visibly see the damage on their skin. As the term suggests, this is more evident when we look closely on a tissue level or under a special microscope. This can differ for every baby. For some, this can look like red patches on their knees or elbows because of crawling. Some babies also experience this as having flaky and dry skin from the lack of moisturization. There are also other cases that manifest irritation through rashes.”

 

Moms were also able to experience various fun activities found in different booths, such as the Play Area and Mom & Baby Photobooth. They visited the Neighbormoms area and heard what their fellow moms had to say about the new Bath and Lotion and the kulit-likot stage. The event also made purchasing the new product more convenient and accessible as e-commerce platforms were linked.

 

JOHNSON’S® Baby senior marketing manager Crismer Tiria expressed his gratitude to all the loyal consumers and guests present at the event. “On behalf of our team, I would like to thank everyone for joining us at JOHNSON’S® Baby Milk+Rice Powerville. I am so excited for mothers and parents to see what we have in store for the rest of the campaign, and hope that their unwavering support to the JOHNSON’S® Baby brand continues on.”

 

The upgraded JOHNSON’S® Milk+Rice Bath and Lotion are available in J&J PH Chat & Shop,  all leading supermarkets, and official Johnson & Johnson Shopee and Lazada accounts. To know more about the new JOHNSON’S® Milk+Rice formula and  to get more tips on toddlers’ skincare, visit https://johnsonsbaby.com.ph, like JOHNSON’S® Baby PH on Facebook https://facebook.com/JohnsonsBabyPhilippines, and follow JOHNSON’S® Instagram account @johnsonsbabyph.

5 tips to keep your laundry smelling fresh and clean during rainy days

 

Midea Washing Machine

Use your washing machine’s spin dryer to dry clothes faster.

5 tips to keep your laundry smelling fresh and clean during rainy days 

The rainy season may be a sweet relief from the hot and humid Philippine weather, but with it comes laundry troubles because there’s hardly any sun for clothes to dry. With the possibility of the kulob smell becoming all-too-familiar during this time of year, Midea, the world’s largest producer of major appliances, shares practical tips to prevent this and keep your laundry smelling fresh and clean even during the rainy days:

Make use of spin dryers. Because drying your clothes in the sun is not always an option during rainy season, using the washing machine’s spin dryer is your best bet as it makes wringing your clothes—to dry quickly—easier. If you’re looking for a durable washing machine that can withstand heavy laundry load, Midea’s new line of Twin Tub Washing Machine is a great option. With key features of dual force pulsator and durable body, Midea’s new washing machine line offers four variants so there’s a model to suit your wash load needs: 7kg Twin Tub (P8,295), 9kg Twin Tub (P9,995) and 11kg Twin Tub (P11,595), and 13kg Twin Tubs (P14,995). Additionally, with only P1 per wash, Midea’s Twin Tub Washing Machine consumes less electricity, which leads to greater cost savings.

Leave space for clothes while drying. When you’re done washing, don’t place your damp clothes too close or over one another as it will only delay drying time and result in an unpleasant damp smell. Be sure to leave enough space between clothes to dry evenly and naturally.

Hang in a well-ventilated room. When you have no choice but to dry your clothes indoors, use the spin dryer a couple of times and hang them in a portable drying rack. To help them dry even more quickly, make sure you can hang them in a well-ventilated room.

Use fabric conditioners. Fabric conditioners help avoid the damp odor smell on clothes. However, this does not compensate for deeply washed clothes. Before using your preferred fabric conditioner, make sure to pre-soak your clothes with detergent or vinegar and baking soda for at least 30 minutes to remove stains and smell on clothes.

Iron your laundry. If you find that you still have some damp clothes left, another option you can do is to iron your clothes dry. You can even use scented wrinkle release sprays to further ensure that your clothes smell clean and fresh.

No need to worry about kulob-smelling clothes during this rainy season. With these tips and a little help from Midea, you can have fresh-smelling and clean clothes all-year long.
