Philippine Veterans Bank Gears Up for the 1st Historic Victory Day Bike Ride in Baguio Honoring WWII Veterans Baguio City will witness a momentous event that blends history and sportsmanship. 

The inaugural Victory Day Ride spearheaded by the Philippine Veterans Bank (PVB) slated on September 3, 2023, will take cycling enthusiasts and history aficionados on a journey to honor the sacrifices of World War II veterans and raise awareness about Baguio Victory Day. Mike Villa-Real, PVB first vice president for marketing and communications, said “the enactment of R.A. 11216 in 2018, marks September 3rd of each year as a special working holiday, marking Yamashita’s surrender and Victory Day in the Philippines. This day in 1945 is clearly a significant historical event marking the success and along with it, the toil and sacrifices, of the soldiers of both the United States and the Philippines. However, it is not as well-known as the “Araw ng Kagitingan” (Day of Valor) commemorated April 9 each year.” Organized in partnership with the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office (PVAO), City Government of Baguio, Wartime Heritage Guild Philippines (WHG), Without Limits, Salgado PR, this ride aims to foster a deeper understanding of the city's significant role during WWII while encouraging active participation in the sport of cyclists of all ages and backgrounds. 

 Inspired by the annual Ride for Valor that retraces the infamous Death March, the Victory Day Bike Ride takes a different route, focusing on the historical sites and landmarks associated with Baguio City's role in World War II. Cyclists and participants will embark on a 44.5 kilometer route that meanders through the city's picturesque landscapes and historical spots, providing a unique opportunity to relive the past and honor the heroes who fought valiantly for freedom. While the Ride for Valor primarily focuses on the Death March, the Victory Day Bike Ride aims to balance the narrative by shedding light on the broader scope of World War II history in the Philippines. 

The Victory Day Bike Ride seeks to increase awareness about Baguio City's role during the war. The event intends to give due recognition to the countless Filipino and American soldiers who fought for the country’s liberation  

The Philippine Veterans Bank (PVB) invites sports and cycling enthusiasts to join the Ride for Victory Day, a bike-for-a-cause event that aims to raise funds for the maintenance of the country’s historical markers and other World War 2 heritage sites. The ride is open to fully vaccinated cyclists and all types of bikes with brakes. Villa-Real said participants may ride at their own pace, and will also implement a "No Helmet, No Ride" policy to ensure the safety of the participants. Villa-Real also said a mechanic will be available to help those who encounter mechanical difficulties, while roving marshals will be present to keep track of the riders' progress. Support vehicles are allowed, but riders should only ride in the vehicle if they choose to drop out of the event. 

The non-competitive bike ride will have 5 pitstops: Start at Baguio City Hall, First Stop, Camp Allen, Second Stop, USAFIP-NL Marker, Third Stop, Sablan View Deck, Fourth Stop, Fort Del Pilar (Philippine Military Academy), Fifth and Final Stop, US Embassy in Camp John Hay. The registration fee for the Ride for Victory Day is P600, which includes an official event shirt, a race bib and passport, a loot bag, post-ride meal, and commemorative medal. 

Interested individuals may register online at https://bit.ly/victorydayride-regform while groups may email rideforvalor@gmail.com until September 1. PVB is a private, commercial bank owned by World War 2 veterans and their families. With its new Charter signed into law, the Bank's ownership now includes Post War Veterans and AFP Retirees.

Escape to the tranquility and elegance of this quaint Swiss-inspired oasis just four hours north of the metro. 

Rising on the idyllic side of Baguio City, where the air is fresh, cool, and crisp, is an exquisite vertical village that lets future residents gloriously bask in Cordillera’s green mountain idyll, with its pristine wooded slopes, majestic pine trees, and breathtaking sceneries.

 

Swiss mountain lifestyle 

 

Bern, a four-tower high-end condominium development by Brittany Corp., will soon emerge as a premium address for those wishing to live that ultimate dreamy Swiss mountain lifestyle, all steeped in luxury and tranquility. And there’s no doubt about this.

 

After all, the luxury residential arm of the country's largest homebuilder, Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc., is bringing a slice of the Alpine paradise to the City of Pines—much like what it did for its highly successful Crosswinds, a 100-ha Swiss-inspired development in Tagaytay City where you can find beautiful themed neighborhoods set amid some 35,000 towering pine trees.

 

Bern will certainly be the perfect follow-through for Crosswinds, as this promising residential enclave will be Brittany’s first high-end condominium project in the City of Pines.

 




Traditional Alpine elements

 

With its Alpine facade, Bern will be a beautiful addition to Baguio City’s skyline. 

 

Its architectural design will incorporate traditional alpine elements for its exterior while the interiors will have softer design elements combined with an array of traditional Cordillera art and top-of-the-line amenities that exude warmth and comfort.

 

This chalet-style condominium development will come with everything you need to unwind, dine, and entertain.

 

Generous, flexible spaces

 

Three configurations offer generous and flexible spaces that let owners personalize their units to accommodate their lifestyles while they get to soak in the beautiful views of Baguio City from every angle.

 

A 46-sqm one-bedroom suite presents panoramic nature views from the comfort of your bedroom and private balcony, while the 51-sqm one-bedroom corner suite offers the right proportion between living space and room.

 

The 101 sqm two-bedroom suite is ideal for those eyeing a well-proportioned, well-designed living space with stylish functionality. This unit has a generously sized balcony that can be transformed into a private garden or a seamless living room extension.

 

With these cuts, Bern ensures your exclusivity and privacy as there will only be four to eight units per floor, making it one of the most premium, low-density developments in Baguio.


 

Smart-ready units

 

At Bern, peace of mind and comfort are the main priorities. Brittany recognizes that technology is now an intrinsic part of people’s lives, thus, making the units smart-ready, which can be adaptively and easily updated over time to support the varying needs of the residents. 

 

Unique peak experiences

 

While most developments have a generic facilities deck, Bern stands apart with a combined space located on top levels and in four towers connected by the Sky Garden, specially designed to link the towers and recreate the exclusivity and privacy of the development.

 

Bern will integrate the latest lifestyle features and amenities that ensure comfort, convenience, and unique peak experiences. An exclusive amenity area at the towers’ peak will allow residents to enjoy the wide range of amenities and facilities that will be unparalleled in the city. 

 

Bern gives residents an imaginative, dedicated space featuring Jacuzzis and family lounges with fire pits. Families and friends can spend quality time here, having relaxed, intimate conversations without needing to go out of the building.

 

Amenities set to revitalize the body and restore the spirit can also be found here, designed to complement your active lifestyle. It hosts a gym, sauna, yoga, and pilates studio for the exclusive use of the residents.

 

Bern’s peak amenity is iconic as it not only provides gorgeous views but can also double as an entertainment space home to a game room and view decks. Plush seats are great for chats, while function rooms can accommodate the residents’ private events and intimate celebrations.

 

Relax and appreciate nature with an indoor-outdoor bar and get on the view deck to have a picturesque view of the city while enjoying the company of family and friends.



Where leisure is the order of the day

Bern features an extensive selection of features and amenities available for its residents. At Bern, prestige is as unmistakable as leisure is the order of the day.

 

Residents can enjoy the magnificent panoramic views with Bern’s tranquil spaces specially designed for quiet escapes, such as jogging paths, serenity walk, pocket gardens, and dedicated areas for children’s play. 

 




Lifestyle destinations 

 

Besides Bern, Brittany offers a fine selection of home designs, high-end condominiums, and lot-only properties in excellent locations, such as  Portofino in Alabang, Lausanne in Tagaytay, and Georgia Club in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

 

It is set to launch a series of luxury leisure developments poised to become top lifestyle destinations in key areas across the country. Brittany's new luxury projects, including Bern, will create a place to nurture, entertain, and inspire to live and invest in an ultra-comfortable environment only available for a privileged few.

Coco Martin, famously known as Cardo Dalisay on-screen, is making rounds all over as he debuts his endorsement not of the partylist with the same name as his show, but of a new party-list – AP Partylist #AkoyPilipino on Friday, February 25.

 

“Anuman ang hirap na ating pinagdadaanan, may kakampi na tayo…” Martin introduced his new party-list group with first nominee Rep. Ronnie Ong in-action in the background in the partylist’s video now circulating online. He continues, “Ang AP Partylist ang tutulong magbigay ng trabaho at kabuhayan sa mga manggagawang Pilipino.”

 

Rep. Ronnie Ong is Coco Martin’s long-time friend and is nicknamed by PeopleAsia as the “frontliner Congressman.” Ong is known for his various out-of-the-box COVID-19 Bayanihan projects since the first lockdown, such as his #LibrengSakay program for healthworkers, #LibrengGulay program for community kitchens, #LibrengTablets and E-skwela Hub e-learning centers for students and teachers.

 

Before the pandemic, Ong also supported senior citizens looking for employment through his Tulong Pangkabuhayan program, deploying various able-bodied and willing-to-work seniors at airports, public universities and government agencies. During the pandemic, he also helped out-of-work transport workers such as UV Express or FX drivers by employing them as #LibrengSakay drivers, as well as some laid-off ABS-CBN employees who found alternative work as contact tracers.

 



More than just Coco Martin, the all-star cast of Ang Probinsyano forming the famed “Task Force Agila,” has also expressed their support for AP Partylist on their social media pages, sharing the various advocacies of AP Partylist closest to them. “Mula po noong umpisa nakasama na namin si Cong. Ronnie, at kita namin na nagtrabaho talaga siya, naglingkod talaga siya. Kaya ngayon, ang #164 AP Partylist na kasama siya ang sinusuportahan na namin. Sana po ay suportahan niyo rin,” Coco Martin said.

 

 

https://fb.watch/bn-S-15eNk/

 

Aside from the endorsement video, AP Partylist also collaborated with OPM artists Bassilyo, Sisa and Smugglaz with their “Ako’y Pilipino,” anthem that sings of the pride, perseverance, and hardwork of Filipinos. They sing, “Ikaw ay magtiwala, magtiwalang may magagawa. Ito na ang panahon, ang tamang pagkakataon, sa bawat daing mo’y magtutugon. Ako’y Pilipinong lumalaban, tumatapang, lalo kung nasusugatan, anumang pagsubok ang daanan, haharapin nang may kagitingan. Itaas mo ang noo, isigaw mo sa buong mundo, ako’y Pilipino.” Both videos are available on Youtube and on AP Party-list’s official social media pages.

 

Coco Martin calls on the audience to join him on his new journey with his new partylist, “Dito na tayo sa biyaheng aasenso ang lahat ng Pilipino… AP Partylist #AkoyPilipino, number 164 sa balota.”

Defensil Isopropyl Alcohol encourages Filipinos to live safe with many establishments slowly re-opening and allowing people to resume their pre-pandemic lifestyles.


With the nationwide vaccination program in full force, Filipinos can slowly enjoy various activities such as more dining options as well as doing physical activities by going to the gym. However, health experts continue to remind everyone to not let their guards down even as we gradually go back to normal. 


As there are reports of new and potentially more contagious variants, everyone must remain vigilant through following established health protocols and getting vaccinated so we can all continue to live safe and prevent the cases from surging again.


That’s why when we do essential errands such as buying groceries, exercising outdoors, or simply going outside, disinfecting your hands and any surface you interact with goes a long way to ensure living safely for you and your family.


One way to prevent the spread of the virus is by always carrying a trusted rubbing alcohol brand that contains at least 70& alcohol solution whenever you go outdoors. 


Defensil 70% Solution Isopropyl Alcohol, the alcohol recommended by the Philippine Society for Microbiology (PSM), can kill 99.9% of common germs and bacteria starts to kill them on contact so that you can safely do the activities you love wherever you are. Defensil also provides up to 12 hours of protection upon constant use so that you are protected and do activities with ease.


Skin dryness from too frequent sanitizing will also not be a worry as Defensil has moisturizing properties and is hypoallergenic, giving you one less thing to worry about when going indoors. 


"We are 100% behind the government in their efforts to prevent further spread of the virus. Defensil encourages everyone to remain vigilant now more than ever and do our part in this fight towards eventually resuming our normal way of life by adhering to social Distancing and sanitation protocols, especially when doing essential errands outdoors," shared Nikko Cruz, Brand Manager of Defensil Isopropyl Alcohol.

The cast of the upcoming film Nelia impressed the Korean community with their performance last November 19, at a gathering in Manila-Korea Town, at Remedios Circle, Malate, Manila. It was attended by various leaders of the Korean community in Manila, including Consul General Kyu Hu Lee of the Korean Embassy, Chairman Jae Jung Jang of the Manila-Korea Town Association, Chairman Jae Heung Byun of the United Korean Community in the Philippines, and several member of the Korean Culture Center, Korean Sports Association in the Philippines, and Peaceful Unification Advisory Council - South East Asia to inaugurate the opening of the Manila K -Town Cha Cha Cha Fest. 


The three of the main cast of Nelia-- Ali Forbes, Shido Roxas, and Juan Carlos Galano -- impressed the crowd with their song numbers and entertained guests. The Korean community also welcomed the presence of veteran actor Raymond Bagatsing, who once wowed the Korean audience with his performance in a Filipino film that participated in the prestigious Busan International Film Festival in Korea in 2012. 




According to the Korean community, Nelia has a huge potential to have a Korean adaptation because of its unique theme. Nelia is said to be a "daring suspense thriller," which can be compared to Korean movies such as "The Housemaid" and "Parasite," which is the first Korean film to win Best Picture at the Oscars. In fact, several Korean film production companies are currently talking to Nelia producer Atty. Aldwin Alegre of A and Q Production Films Inc. to make a Korean adaptation or remake of the film. 

“We're really very happy because even though our film hasn't been released yet, the reception that people have been giving to our film is very good, especially in the Korean community. We look up to a lot of Korean films, and for them to acknowledge Nelia to be at par with them is a great honor for us. This is the only suspense thriller genre that entered the MMFF this year, so we are also excited to offer the Filipino viewers something different from the usual fare this coming Christmas," said Atty. Alegre. 



He also confirmed that they are already in talks with some film production companies in Korea for a possible Korean remake or adaptation of Nelia. “Yes, two production companies from Korea have already approached our team to remake Nelia. A production company from Los Angeles, California also contacted us just the other day, and they are interested in Nelia for a possible distribution in the US," he said. 

Nelia stars Winwyn Marquez as the titular Nurse Nelia. The film is one of the eight official entries of the Metro Manila Film Festival that will be screened in select theaters throughout the Philippines this coming December 25.

Viral Online Seller Daisy Lopez, also known as Madam Inutz, has officially released the much-anticipated music video of her debut song titled “Inutil”. She released the official music video on her YouTube channel last Thursday, September 23.

Madam Inutz stunned the netizens with her fashionista looks in her trending music video. This video reminded the netizens of Lady Gaga although Madam Inutz is a big fan of Miley Cyrus.

Now that she is officially a recording artist, her raspy voice is perfect for novelty, rap, hip hop or rock "Tunog Kalye" genre just like the Pinoy singers who were known for their own style like Aegis, Sampaguita or Up Dharma Down. Her musical influence were her idols Aegis and Miley Cyrus. Her inspiration when it comes to singing are Janine Berdin, Aegis, Sampaguita,

Miley Cyrus, Cardi B, Nikki Minaj.


Madam Inutz is very professional and fast learner. She knows how to give the melody to the song and doesn't mind the long working hours for as long as she can deliver well and can produce the right song. The shoot for her music video was taken till dawn but she never complained and was still all-smiles and full of energy. 

The preparations of Madam Inutz for her debut single was not a joke. She took it by heart, for days she didn't drink cold water and she didn't even shout the way she used to during her online selling so that she can modulate her voice once she started recording. She studied the lyrics and even analyzed it if it's suits her personality. Madam Inutz is indeed born to be a singer because she enjoyed what she was doing and she didn't find the whole process difficult plus she can very well relate to the lyrics of the song.


Daisy Lopez couldn't be more thankful to Wilbert Tolentino, her manager, for giving her the biggest break and an amazing opportunity that not everybody can get especially at her age, she said. According to her, there are a lot more younger and talented aspiring singers out there but here she is, launching her debut single. She feels honored and forever grateful to Wilbert because never in her wildest dream that she think she would have gone this far. All these years, she was just working hard as an online seller for her family especially her bed-ridden mother and now that the opportunity is here, she will not pass it up and would do her best.

The inspiration behind the song "Inutil"

Ryan Soto composed the song for Madam Inutz and before he did, he made sure that the genre, words and melody are perfect for her personality. The inspiration would be Aegis style or Sampaguita in a novelty style since she was best known for her catch phrases like "Inutil", "gunggong", "oh jiiieva" and more which is why he made it sure that he will use it for her debut single for recognition and a seal of her own identity. 

This is what the whole song is all about, her life as an online seller, her struggles in life and some frustrating moments when no one is buying from her and they're just making fun of her online. The song also reflects her life in Tondo and Cavite. "Inutil" is also perfect for the masang Pinoy since everyone can sing and dance with it and the lyrics is very easy to memorize.

We all know that a lot of netizens enjoyed watching her online live selling which gained thousands of watchers and was even anticipated and watched by a lot of showbiz personalities but not all are amused, some were offended by her bad words and Madam Inutz said she can't please everybody which is why she always warned those who are watching not to let their kids watch her and she hopes they can just let her do her live selling because this is what she does for a living and also for the medical treatment of her ill mother. 

Wilbert Tolentino has a lot of plans for Madam Inutz aka Daisy Lopez,  she is very hard working, responsible and listens carefully to all of his advices and instructions, he knows that her career will sail smoothly as well as their partnership and friendship. They trust each other that much and will work side by side to achieve success.

He plans on making her a Brand Ambassador of Online Sellers and he wanted her to learn more about Entrepreneurship so that she can invest and make her business grow while making her way to the Entertainment Industry. He plans on making her name a staple in showbiz so expect more projects for her in the future and lastly, for her to be a famous Vlogger and that her YouTube account will be successful. 

INUTIL is now available via Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal, Vevo, Tiktok, Youtube Music, Beatport, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitch, Shazam, iTunes, Facebook, iTunesRadio, and other online kusic streaming sites. Don't forget to watch the official video and subscribe to Daisy Lopez YouTube account!

Manila, Philippines – The Department of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Service Institute along with Philippine Archipelago international Trading Corporation presented a webinar featuring prominent figures in Traditional Chinese Medicine which was instrumental in the pandemic management in China.

The webinar, entitled “Learning from the China Experience – Control and Surge Prevention”, featured prominent Chinese medical figures such as Academician Zhang Boli, Honorary President of the Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and recipient of the national honorary title of People’s Hero in August 2020 & Dr. Jia Zhenhua, Chief Physician of TCM, Doctoral Supervisor and President of Hebei Institute of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. 

On the Philippine side, guests were able to listen talks from two of the most important figures in our fight against COVID-19 – National Task Force Deputy Chief Implementor and Testing Czar Secretary Vince Dizon & NTF Contact Tracing Czar and Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong. 



The program started with a few words from Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Hon. Teodoro Locsin, Jr.  During this address he thanked the co-presenters, the Chinese diplomatic core and the distinguished guests and speakers. He also set the stage of our current COVID-19 situation stating over 4 Million deaths and 186 Million infections and counting globally. “This webinar highlights knowledge sharing as one of if not the most essential form of cooperation in managing COVID-19.  The slogan is:  No one is safe unless everyone is safe.” he said.

The first speaker, Mayor Benjamin Magalong discussed the case study of Baguio City and how it navigated through the pandemic. He discussed how proactive contact tracing efforts and control efforts enabled them to control spreads, something he likened to a Hammer & Dance situation. More importantly, he discussed the importance of the PDITR strategy, which is Prevent, Detect, Isolate, Treat, and Reintegrate strategy. This strategy simple cuts off transmission chain. He added how vital cooperation was to the efficacy of all preventive and control efforts, not only to Baguio City. The implementation of a top-down, side-to-side, and bottom-up approach basically ensures that the paramount objective of having a proper communication and information dissemination to the entire community, involving all sectors of society, is met. Towards the end of his presentation, he touched on the city’s Recovery and Resiliency Plan as well as their goal of becoming a Smart City by 2022.

Secretary Vince Dizon reported on the National Vaccination Program. He thanked the Chinese foreign service representatives for their continuous supplies of Chinese vaccines which to date is still the country’s most largest supplier of COVID-19 Vaccines at 11 million procured doses plus 1 million donated. He had also thanked Philippine Archipelago International Trading Corporation President, Olivia Limpe-Aw, as EUA Holder of Sputnik V Vaccines, for the continuous supply of the vaccine. 

Dr. Jia Zhenhua then moved on to discussing the utilization of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the prevention and treatment of respiratory infectious disease in China. During his talk, he broke down COVID-19 based on Collateral Disease Theory and discussed how this is treated through the approach of Traditional Chinese medicine. One treatment of note that was mentioned was Lianhua Qingwen capsule, already widely used and distributed in major drugstores in the Philippines.

Academician Zhang Boli, one of the most prominent figures in China’s fight against COVID-19 begins his presentation explaining why COVID, to him, is considered the “Plague of the Century.” He expounded by showing data driven effects and evolution of the virus. After his brief introduction on the effects and symptoms of Covid in China, he stressed how preventive measures were executed. He discussed the importance of early intervention to reduce severe conversion rate and the integration of Chinese and Western medicine with comprehensive rehabilitation treatment such as breathing training, physical therapy, Taichi etc. , psycho-therapy to prevent after effects of the Covid-19 infection such as physical injury (damage to immune function, heart, lung and kidney) and psychological trauma such as insomnia, anxiety and depression. He had also introduced Xuanfei Baidu Decoction, another traditional Chinese medicine widely used in China’s fight against COVID-19. He had earlier stressed the importance of medication. “Quarantine without medicine is only half the success,” he said through an interpreter. Academician Zhang Boli shared how they shared this knowledge with the world through donations of traditional Chinese medicine, Lianhua Qingwen to different countries. Exchange of knowledge (like this webinar) were also done in other countries.

Vaccination is very important but even when vaccinated we should not forget the usual daily personal and household prevention measures and emotion management – keep positive, avoid anxiety and have a healthy lifestyle. 

Philippine Archipelago International Trading Corporation President, Olivia Limpe-Aw, started to close the webinar by thanking the speakers as well as the Department of Foreign Affairs’ Foreign Service Institute who spearheaded this webinar.  She summarized the webinar and drew the conclusion that there are definitely similarities in terms of experiences, government policies and values of both countries. In fact, significant learnings gathered from all panelists cover early intervention, quarantine with medication is key, integration of Chinese and western medicine with rehabilitation treatment all help to increase curative rate and reduce mortality rate. 

Learning that there are two other TCM to treat COVID-19 aside from Lianhua Qingwen is something new to us so it has expanded our knowledge on TCM and that there are other options that we hope will be available in the Philippines in the next few months since it looks like COVID-19 isn't going to be over that easily, so we will have to deal with it -manage, mitigate so we can all move on and bring back normalcy to our lives. 

This webinar was attended by Ambassadors, local government officials, health officers, hospital administrators, health workers and the media

Over the past year, working from home has gone from the exception to the norm. The convenience of foregoing hours stuck in traffic, as well as being safe from the pandemic, directly translates to increased happiness, efficiency, and productivity. Consumers were quick to transition at home. However, not all setups were conducive as a workspace. One of the biggest issues that arose was the requirement for proper computer monitors. One of the segments that grew the most over the past year has been monitors. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), in the 4thquarter of 2020, the monitor market grew 16.9% year over year with shipments surpassing 39.2 million units worldwide. 

LG Electronics, always at the forefront of innovation, has seen this surge and developed new line of monitors that improve upon existing technology in order to help users even more. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer, a budding streamer, or just working from home, LG has a monitor that’s perfect for you. They provide a wide variety of improved features from breathtaking colors, fast response time, to clearer images to enhance customer’s experience. 

To introduce the new line of monitors to the local market, LG Electronics Philippines hosted the LG Monitors: Performance Beyond Boundaries livestream event on their social media channel to showcase what the new displays are all about. This was hosted by LG brand ambassador Luis Manzano and featured several other influencers who have had experienced the new line of monitors, namely actor and director Joross Gamboa, photographer Magic Liwanag, and gamer, cosplayer, and content creator Myrtle Sarrosa.

If you want a dedicated work monitor at home, you can’t go wrong with this.”

 



LG Monitors Brand Ambassador Luis Manzano for LG Standard Monitor

LG Goes Beyond Boundaries With New Monitor Line


 

Over the past year, working from home has gone from the exception to the norm. The convenience of foregoing hours stuck in traffic, as well as being safe from the pandemic, directly translates to increased happiness, efficiency, and productivity. Consumers were quick to transition at home. However, not all setups were conducive as a workspace. One of the biggest issues that arose was the requirement for proper computer monitors. One of the segments that grew the most over the past year has been monitors. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), in the 4thquarter of 2020, the monitor market grew 16.9% year over year with shipments surpassing 39.2 million units worldwide. 

LG Electronics, always at the forefront of innovation, has seen this surge and developed new line of monitors that improve upon existing technology in order to help users even more. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer, a budding streamer, or just working from home, LG has a monitor that’s perfect for you. They provide a wide variety of improved features from breathtaking colors, fast response time, to clearer images to enhance customer’s experience. 

To introduce the new line of monitors to the local market, LG Electronics Philippines hosted the LG Monitors: Performance Beyond Boundaries livestream event on their social media channel to showcase what the new displays are all about. This was hosted by LG brand ambassador Luis Manzano and featured several other influencers who have had experienced the new line of monitors, namely actor and director Joross Gamboa, photographer Magic Liwanag, and gamer, cosplayer, and content creator Myrtle Sarrosa.
