Breeze urges moms to join the Sige Sabado movement
Breeze urges moms to
join the Sige Sabado movement and say Yes to Learning!
Mommies play the important role of being their children’s
first and foremost teacher. They have the power to ensure their children grow
up to be well rounded and happy kids. However, moms, by nature, have the
tendency to be over protective of their children especially with regards to
being messy. They often associate getting dirty and stained with something
negative such as being irresponsible as well as hard work for them in terms of
cleaning. This is the kind of mindset that Breeze, one of the country’s leading
detergent brands, would want moms to change. Since Breeze strongly believes
that life’s lessons are best learned through experience, the brand strongly
encourages moms to adopt the Sige sa Mantsa philosophy which is all about
allowing their kids to be kids and explore and learn positive values even at
the expense of getting dirty and stained.
Saturdays are for the
family
To further forward the advocacy of child learning and
development, Breeze launched the Sige Sabado Movement which calls on moms to
dedicate Saturdays to their kids. Sige Sabado hopes to encourage moms to spend
their Saturdays creating lasting memories with their children by doing fun
bonding activities together. Even if this means often getting dirty and
stained, it’s okay since Sige Moms knows that what matter most are the values
learned, memories created and fun enjoyed in the process. Because of its strong
stain removal power, Breeze is mom’s number one partner in encouraging active
play and experiential learning since mom doesn’t need to worry about the mess
this often brings.
“Kids learn best when they’re having fun with their moms,”
said Unilever Home Care Marketing Director Mr. Jay Go, duing the Sige Sabado
Movement launch held at Arts in the City in Bonifacio Global City. “Through the
Sige Sabado Movement, we hope to cultivate a stronger, more loving relationship
between moms and their kids. After all, no matter how busy life gets, we should
always make time for the ones who matter most. If this also leads to stains,
it’s okay. Dirts and stains are temporary, memories and lessons are permanent.
Sige sa mantsa! Sige sa learning!”

their minds. That’s why Philips and Disney have teamed up to develop a range of
inspiring, magical, and playful lighting products for children, parents, and

Samsung Digital Appliances Launched
New
Generation of Samsung Digital Appliances offers Solutions for Energy Efficiency
and Space
Get Ready for New Samsung Digital Appliances.
Air Conditioner With Triangle Design
Among their breakthrough inventions is their new air conditioner with
triangle design. In a country that is notorious for its sweltering summers, a
proper air conditioner is almost mandatory. But the difference between this new
Smart Air Conditioner and an conventional air conditioner is clear. It does not
just produce cool air; it has been tailored to be more efficient and
cost-effective in this task. Thanks to its carefully engineered triangle design
which allows for bigger fans within a more compact body. Thus, it circulates
cool air faster, farther, and wider while maintaining a sleek look.
The new Smart Air Conditioner is equipped with Samsung’s Digital
Inverter Technology. It can maintain the desired temperature without frequently
shutting off and on, so it consumes less energy. The Digital Inverter
Technology helps users to stay comfortable for long periods of time, while
using the minimum amount of energy – of up to 60% less electricity than
conventional air conditioners
Designed to be outstandingly efficient, its uniquely triangular design
has a wider inlet, wider outlet and a bigger fan to ensure that air is cooled
and expelled faster (26%), farther (14m meters) and wider (39%) – ensuring even
air distribution and powerful cooling.
Also, the new air conditioner begins cooling the air fast using its
powerful Fast Cool mode, to cool down the room faster. It then automatically
changes the mode to Comfort Cool to maintain the desired temperature. Users
won’t feel cold and don’t have to keep manually changing the settings or
turning the air conditioner on and off.
Energy efficiency is a key purchasing decision for consumers. The
Samsung Air Conditioner’s Single User mode gives the flexibility to the user to
control the capacity by effective use of energy. It uses less compressor
capacity, reducing power consumption, while still providing a cool and
comfortable environment. This ensures that users won’t have to worry about the
electricity bill even if there’s only one person in the room.
The new Samsung Air Conditioner features Samsung’s exclusive Virus
Doctor that keeps families safe and comfortable through innovative air
purifying technology, which neutralizes harmful contaminants in the air. The Virus
Doctor feature has received various accolades including a 2010 AHR Expo
Innovation Award in the indoor air-quality category, a 1st Air Day Minister of
the Environmental Award, and the Jang Young Sil Award. Now, mothers need not
worry about air-born viruses and allergens with Samsung’s Virus Doctor
technology.
Stylish and Smart, the pure Crystal Gloss™ finish and uniquely curved
design of the Samsung Air Conditioner deliver a premium look. Like aerodynamic,
high performance sports cars, every aspect of its streamlined body is encased
in dual-injected, transparent material for an elegant finish that blends
seamlessly into any modern home.
Using an application on a smartphone, the Smart Wi-Fi function lets
users remotely control the functions of the Samsung Air Conditioner to schedule
its operation. In any location with a wireless network, users can instantly
turn it on and off and select the operating mode as well as temperature.
Additionally, the air conditioner is able to communicate operational time and
electricity usage as well as providing filter cleaning reminders. The unit can
also store preferred operational settings and cooling preferences.
The Smart Installation is a self-diagnosis feature that ensures the
air conditioner is installed perfectly by the aircon installer. It
automatically checks for installation faults that might cause problems when the
air conditioner starts operating.
The Smart Check automatic error-monitoring system detects and
diagnoses problems and provides easy troubleshooting solutions using a
smartphone application. It saves users time and prevents unnecessary costs prior
to a service call.
This, alongside its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and innovative
design, makes Samsung’s new Smart Air Conditioner the perfect household
appliance for any savvy family wishing to ensure the health and wellness of
their children.
Food ShowCase Refrigerator
Part of their new lineup also includes the new Food Showcase
Refrigerator. This innovation provides smart organization for all your
different types of food. There are two layers of doors in order to properly
showcase the contents of the refrigerator, making it much easier to visualize
your stocks. There are the outer compartments for your most frequently used
products, allowing instant access. And then there are the inner compartments
for ingredients that you don’t use as often. Not only does this maximize space,
this setup makes organizing and consuming food a simple process. Everyone in
the family, including the children can access refrigerator contents with ease.
This refrigerator is also equipped with Samsung’s trademark Digital
Inverter Technology. This means that the refrigerator utilizes the same smart
technology that allows it to adjust its temperature accordingly. Thus, no
unnecessary energy is consumed, making this an efficient and cost-effective
appliance.

Neurobion® reunites iconic dance groups Universal Motion Dancers, Sex Bomb Dancers and The Maneouvers
90’s Iconic Dance Groups Reunite for Neuropathy Awareness |
Manila, Philippines --Dancing is one of the greatest expressions of the joy of living. Yet, this burst of joyful energy can easily stop when you experience nagging discomforts such as numbness, tingling sensations and body pain.
Pain in the hand, arms and legs caused by nerve damage is called Neuropathy, which can leave you feeling numb, making it difficult for you to function properly. Neuropathy afflicts many Filipinos as early as their mid-20’s, but this condition is often misdiagnosed so they do not receive the proper treatment.
