Whirlpool: 100 years of family, innovation and great cooking
Whirlpool: 100 years of family, innovation and great cooking
Few brands have had such a positive and lasting impact on families around the world the way Whirlpool has.
From helping to bake the cookies that mend a broken heart to battling stubborn stains on school uniforms, Whirlpool's family of products have helped make life a little bit easier --- a reflection of the company’s belief that everyone needs a comfortable and happy place to call home.
As part of its 100thanniversary celebration, Whirlpool is introducing a new and complete line of built-in cooking products to complete their product line-up. Whirlpool’s range of built-in hobs, hoods and oven showcase impeccable European design and superior functionality, and gives discerning consumers a variety of models to choose from.
Cook like a professional using Whirlpool Built-In Hobs, which combine elegant looks and innovative features. Its Nano Surface Coating is designed to prevent dirt particles from making contact with cooking surfaces. Highly resistant to fingerprints, it offers excellent protection from surface contamination. These cooktops also feature unique Four-Crown and Triple Ring Burners that spread flame evenly so food gets cooked uniformly on all sides. Gas consumption is also reduced by up to 10%, thanks to the high heat efficiency performance of the burners.
Added safety features include a Flame-Failure Device (FFD) which shuts off the gas supply as soon as the flame is cut off. It prevents gas leakage in times when the wind extinguishes the flame or when the burner hasn’t been properly turned off.
Moreover, Whirlpool cooktops feature burners made by Sabaf, a world-renowned brand of high-quality burners that are reliable, safe and durable. Made in Italy, Sabaf burners use gas efficiently, produce the best quality flame and are used by most of the world’s top cooking appliance manufacturers. For durability, Whirlpool Built-In Hobs use Stainless Steel 304 which is renowned for its strong resistance to rust and corrosion and allows it to maintain a sleek and shiny surface even after long periods of time.
Of course, nobody wants a smelly and hot kitchen. The solution: Whirlpool Range Hoods, which are exquisitely designed to help you enjoy a smoke- and heat-free kitchen. Beautifully crafted, these work unobtrusively in the background, thanks to a super silent motor that absorbs smoke and heat, making each cooking experience delightful. Furthermore, Whirlpool range hoods go through more than 10 stringent safety tests to ensure that only the safest products are in your kitchen.
Completing Whirlpool’s cooking line-up is the Built-In Oven which features a power convection system that provides outstanding airflow distribution allowing you to save time and consumes 20% less energy because pre-heating is no longer necessary. The spacious oven cavity is large enough to cook big family-sized meals and the triple-glazed glass oven door remains cool to the touch even after extended use making it burn-proof and safe to handle.
Whirlpool’s Built-In Oven has also been given an “A” Energy Rating which is the highest rating according to European energy standards and signifies optimum energy efficiency.
For the past century, Whirlpool has definitely distinguished itself as a brand designed for families. Every Whirlpool washing machine, refrigerator and microwave oven has been meticulously made with the family in mind, providing outstanding quality, unparalleled durability and advanced technology that have made every home a picture of warmth and comfort for many generations.
Bringing families closer together through superior household products has been the vision by which Whirlpool staunchly abides by. Particularly in the Philippines where the concept of a close-knit family is sacred, Whirlpool has for years ingrained its family-oriented concept in every part and parcel of its world-class products. With their excellent performance tested through the years, no wonder that Whirlpool products have become the center in every Filipino home.
Such legacy has made Whirlpool a trusted brand that appeals to Filipino families. Indeed, one hundred years of giving comfort and convenience to families the world over have made Whirlpool the brand that it is today --- relevant, treasured and timeless.

KC Concepcion’s Real Choice to get fit with Real Leaf
KC Concepcion’s Real Choice to get fit with Real Leaf
Rundown the sexiest and most beautiful young women of today and for sure, showbiz royalty KC Concepcion would place at the top of the pack. What makes her a real icon of beauty and wellness? Well, we’re about to find out.
KC loves keeping fit and sexy. For her, pursuing a healthy life is a passion. She believes it’s what inspires confidence and a positive disposition. Though it sure is a lot of work, she commits herself to it. But being in the spotlight, juggling tight schedules day by day makes staying in shape all the more challenging. That is why it’s important to make the right choices. More than anything else, we must be mindful of what we take in to our bodies.
That is why KC keeps it real. She goes for what she enjoys the most. She goes for what feels natural all the time. Like her green tea beverage of choice- Real Leaf! “It’s a pretty stressful, physically demanding world out there. And I’m just like everybody else wanting to look and feel their best all the time that is why I chose a drink that helps me restore balance, recharge and refuel myself to keep up and keep going. Going all-natural, all-real with Real Leaf is the way to go,” says KC.
There couldn’t be any better, realer choice. Expertly brewed and made only of the highest standards, Real Leaf packs the wholesome benefits of refreshing real tea deliciously blended with the natural goodness of real honey in one great-tasting bottle. Plus it’s made even more luscious by infusing fruit flavors such as lychee, lemon and apple. It’s a one-of-a-kind combination that helps revive both mind and body– perfect for people who would never settle for less than what they deserve.
Of course it’s never different when it comes to the fitness regimen and routines she follows. To make it a truly reviving experience she enjoys every time, she chose to take dance classes to keep in shape. While in Paris, she also practiced Agni Yoga, a form of yoga that focuses on stretching and developing flexibility to strengthen the muscles. She also used to follow a specially prescribed circuit-training workout. “Every morning, even if my call time for the day is at 8 a.m., I'm at the gym. [My trainer] never lets me start the day without working out,” KC says.
Like the way Real Leaf has leveled up the standards in green tea in the country with its deliciously reviving fusion of real tea and real honey, the sought after actress and TV host is now all set to take her quest for a fit and fab life to another level. KC now dedicates her time to burn calories and stay fit at what people call “the newest and most effective workout to ever hit Manila” – Plana Forma. “It’s a combination of Pilates, yoga and dance. It’s probably the most intense and addictive fitness regimen I’ve ever done. You get all the rewarding benefits in just 55 minutes,” she quips.
Last July 21, 2011, KC was officially introduced as the face of Plana Forma. The special press event was attended by notable personalities who are also avid followers of the breakthrough fitness activity. The highlight of the occasion? The arrival of Real Leaf ambassador Piolo Pascual who came to show his support for his beloved sweetheart. No doubt, he’s the perfect man for KC. Not only is he passionate about wellness activities and getting fit, he is also all for everything natural and healthy. And that is why, like KC, Real Leaf is his real choice.
Looking at the fast-paced and busy lives of A-list celebrities like KC and Piolo, it’s easy to assume they hardly have enough time to eat three square meals a day and exercise. But they’re just as real as every single one of us, making real choices and choosing to refresh themselves the best way they know how.
Real Leaf Green Tea. Real Tea. Real Honey. Available in 3 delicious flavors: Honey Apple, Honey Lemon and Honey Lychee. Anytime, anywhere - Real Leaf makes its irresistible real tea and real honey goodness very accessible for Pinoys as it is also available in 8 oz. bottle in Honey Apple Flavor for only Php10 in your favorite sari-sari stores! Real Leaf is also on Facebook! Go to www.facebook.com/realleaf to know about its latest promos and other exciting treats.

JUDY ANN SANTOS right choices for Lucho's skin, Johnson’s Baby Milk Bath
For Judy Ann, giving the best care and
making right choices truly matter
For certified box-office and award-winning actress, Judy Ann Santos, some of her unforgettable projects include memorable roles in movies such as Ploning, Habang May Buhay and Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo. These have greatly contributed in her film production knowledge and experience, and has significantly widened her perspective when it comes to making good role choices.
For Judy Ann, choosing roles is a crucial part of one’s career and it has led to important milestones to be the versatile and multi-faceted actress she has become. But these days, it’s her most prized and momentous role as a family woman and mother that have taken a great leap forward. And for days when the scripts are gone, lights are out, and cameras stop rolling, the genuine delight of family life takes centerstage.
Judy Ann (or Juday as she is fondly called) admits that since being a mother, everyday has become more special. Concentrating on the role of being a mom and wife made her realize the importance of maintaining a family, which means spending quality time with her husband and kids, as well as juggling all the responsibilities that come with it. Her new life has likewise given her the happiness and satisfaction of providing the best care for her family and this is what truly gives her utmost fulfillment.
“Now that I’m already a mom, I find it hard to leave the house and spend time away from my loved ones,” she quipped. And at this point in her life, being discerning and making intelligent choices has become pleasantly challenging. “When you’re a mother, you are faced with decisions that will have huge bearing on your family and children,” she adds. So these days, as much as possible, Juday strives to put her family on the top of her priority list. She also makes it a point to be home from work as early as possible so that she’s the first person her kids see in the morning, and the last before they go to bed, making sure that she is there for her kids at every possible moment.
And when it comes to taking care of Yohan and Lucho’s skin, she only trusts a brand that she has grown to love over the years – Johnson & Johnson. And rightfully so, with how it has taken care o
her skin, she is passing it on by using Johnson’s Baby Milk Bath on her two kids. This is so because, like Johnson’s, she very much shares the same precious commitment when it comes to giving the best skin care.
According to their family pediatrician, just like babies, the skin of older children is still not fully developed and may easily get dry and irritated. So for Yohan and Lucho, who may be worlds apart when it comes to their age, it’s definitely a different story altogether when it comes to caring for their skin. And that’s why Juday only chooses a product that gives the best care possible.
Johnson’s Baby Milk Bath gently cleanses their delicate skin and prevents dryness, which may lead to irritation. It has 100% more milk proteins and vitamins A and E that gives the necessary nourishment to skin. It is also CLINICALLY PROVEN MILD and has NO MORE TEARS FORMULA ensuring gentle cleansing for babies until their toddler years, and even for mommies.
From the baby to toddler years, all the way to teenage and adult years, Judy Ann is witness to how versatile Johnsons is. “Just like how it took care of my skin while growing up, it takes such good care of Yohan and Lucho’s skin, so I’m definitely gonna keep using Johnson’s!” Juday has certainly mastered the not only art of making the right choices, but also giving the best care possible.
