Maine Mendoza Has Changed

Phenomenal Star Maine Mendoza is a hot topic once again. Recently, a new endorsement shoot of hers leaked online and her hawk-eyed legions of fans were quick to grab the receipts. She was spotted at what appears to be the pictorial shoot for Maxi-Peel and word has it, she's the new endorser of their latest product called Maxi-Peel ZERO. 



Here's what we know: 

Word has it that she's looking for something more than just a basic cleanser, and she feels that her old brand simply doesn't make the cut anymore given her very hectic lifestyle. That's why she's making the switch. We've seen Maine endorse all sorts of products but over the years, she has become much more selective in terms of products and brands she works with, choosing only the ones that she truly believes in. This is why she's not just the top celebrity endorser in this country, she is also the most compelling. Just very recently, Maine was one of the winners at the 8th EdukCircle Awards bagging two awards, the Most Influential Female Endorser and the Best Female Variety Show Host. 

Could this be the reason why Maine has been posting more selfies recently? Her supporters have been pointing out that her skin is to-die-for. Not a blemish in sight! And they are quick to add that her glowing skin is the perfect complement to her endearing personality. 

Reese Dianson, a Maine loyalist, proudly exclaims: "Love namin si Maine because with her, what you see is what you get. Hindi mo siya mapipilit sa isang bagay na ayaw niya. Kaya kung magpapalit nga siya ng brand, yun talaga ang kanyang paniniwala. So kami, as true believers, lilipat din kami!" For Becca Lizada who has followed Maine from the first time she made her debut at Eat Bulaga: "Si Maine, totoong tao yan. Walang halong kaplastikan. Bawat galaw at salita niya, yun siya sa real life! Kaya sa endorsements niya, choosy si Maine dahil pangalan niya ang nakataya!". 

True or not, Maine's fans are buzzing with excitement and if it is, we're betting that just like any product she endorses, Maxi-Peel ZERO will soon be flying off the shelves, too.

How OPPO’s VOOC flash charge helps you save 31 days in a year

MANILA, October , 2018 – Imagine what you can do with your smartphone if you can save 31 days in a year without the hassle of wall-charging with cables or carrying a power bank. In that time, you can not only make many important calls, but also focus on your passion, work, and day-to-day activities related to your device. 



A low-battery notification is the last thing that a busy, multi-tasking individual needs, especially during crunch time. When a smartphone’s battery power gets dangerously low, you know that high-performance tasks like calls, listening to music, watching videos, playing games, or using mobile data are no-no’s until you plug the device in to a wall socket or a power bank. 

However, access to a power source isn’t a guarantee that you can immediately jump back to the activities interrupted by a low-battery notification—more often than not, smartphones require around an hour to bring the user back to normal operations. 

With a fast-paced lifestyle, waiting around for your device to stock enough power to fuel your most pressing tasks simply won’t do. You need a smartphone that can keep up with your pace, like the OPPO Find X or the OPPO F9. 


Groundbreaking rapid-charge technology 

The high-end OPPO Find X and mid-range OPPO F9 both boast of the breakthrough VOOC Flash Charge technology. This groundbreaking proprietary tech was developed by OPPO to deliver more power to select devices in a lot less time. Compared to other quick-charge features in the market, VOOC uses a higher current instead of increasing the voltage during the charging process. 

A standard 5V 1A charger reaches its full charge in 200 minutes when the smartphone is off, and 255 minutes when turned on. With OPPO’s VOOC flash charger, it zooms up to full charge in only 76 minutes when turned off and 95 minutes when on. When the smartphone is off, the VOOC flash charger charges 124 minutes faster than the standard charger. If a user charges his or her phone once a day, they save 45,260 minutes in a year, which is converted to approximately 754.33 hours, or 31 days—or one whole month! VOOC lets you power through your days with this extra time, and achieve more throughout the year. 

User safety is also an OPPO guarantee with this technology—VOOC Flash Charge comes with five layers of protection that cover the charging adapter and the smartphone for a lightning-fast and super-safe charge. 


Do more in less time 

Don’t have 76 minutes to get to the full charge? The VOOC Flash Charge has you covered no matter how quick you need to be out the door. Within just five minutes of charging, you can expect to enjoy up to two hours of call time—more than enough to make all the important calls you need to before you get another charging opportunity. 

Five minutes is all it takes to jump right back into the action with OPPO VOOC. You can take hundreds of photos and videos, plan and book your next trip, or answer important emails wherever you might be. 

Fifteen minutes of charging also empowers you to listen to your favorite tunes, podcasts, and audio files for up to 30 hours; that’s around 1,200 songs in just fifteen minutes, roughly the length of five songs! 

Entertainment buffs will be delighted that they can enjoy up to five hours of video time with a single 25-minute charge—more than enough juice to binge on five episodes of your favorite series or two of the latest blockbusters on the go. For avid mobile gamers, all they need is 35 minutes of charging time for more than four hours of intense gaming marathons! 

The OPPO Find X is available for PHP 49,990.00 (8GB RAM, 256GB ROM) while the OPPO F9 retails for PHP 17,990.00 (6GB RAM, 64GB ROM).

KZ, the Soul Supreme, then closed the grand launch with a mini-concert that highlighted her vocal prowess and engaging performance. 


Squad goals: A Vivo event is never complete without the signature selfie featuring its endorsers! 

The Vivo endorsers, of course, would not let the night end without their traditional selfie with Ms. Annie Lim, the Vice President for PR and Strategy Partnerships, and Ms. Hazel Bascon, the Vice President for Sales. The selfie was taken by Darren who made sure that the Vivo endorsers and executives fit the frame. He used the Vivo V11 that features a 25-megapixel AI selfie camera that produce more vivid and vibrant photos.

The program was co-hosted by Myx VJ Iñigo—along with fellow Myx VJ Ai dela Cruz—who shared the responsibility of making sure the launch stayed the course as planned. Iñigo took on the gargantuan task of hosting the launch although he was a few days away from releasing a new song and a music video.

Daniel, the blockbuster actor, took some time off from his busy schedule to throw his support to Vivo. 


One of the highlights of the V11 night was the press conference of the endorsers where they got to share why they love the latest Vivo smartphone. Daniel could not even stop himself from gushing over the V11, especially its In-Display Fingerprint Scanner. 

“Who here has watched sci-fi films that showed the use of fingerprint scanning technology to unlock the smartphone? Twenty years ago, we can only watch these on films… Who would imagine that today, tonight we can do the things that we’ve seen only on films? The Vivo V11 is the future,” he said in a mix of English and Filipino. 

Daniel also praised Vivo V11 for its 3400mAh with Dual-Engine Fast Charging and its Qualcomm Snapdragon 660AIE Octa-core processor that improve performance for gamers like him. 


“This smartphone is not a joke. It is really super high-tech,” he said.

LG Honors the Injured Liberators of Marawi with a Donation to the AFP Health Service Command

On its 30th anniversary, LG donates air conditioners, washers, TVs and a refrigerator to benefit Marawi soldier casualties and other injured soldiers at the Victoriano Luna Medical Center. 



In the spirit of National Heroes Day, LG Electronics reaffirmed its longstanding commitment to providing assistance to the community with a donation-in-kind to the Victoriano Luna Medical Center (VLMC), a government hospital that provides sanctuary and support to injured soldiers, including those who suffered casualties in the Marawi siege. 



In a simple ceremony held on August 29 at the AFP Health Service Command, Mr. Inkwun Heo, Managing Director of LG Philippines, handed over ten (10) 1.5 HP Dual Cool Inverter Split Type Air Purifying Deluxe Airconditioners, two (2) 13kg Inverter Top Load Washing Machines, one (1) 24 cu ft Side by Side Refrigerator and ten (10) 43" Smart TVs to Col. Jeffrey Jake Gallenero, Philippine Army MNSA, Chief of Staff, AFP Health Service Command (AFPHSC). Also present were the chiefs of each operating unit and staff of the AFP Health Service Command. 

The project was initiated to ease the recovery of the valiant soldiers at the Orthopedic Heroes Ward who sustained injuries in Marawi and other military efforts. Each airconditioner features an independently working Air Purification mode, assuring that the air the patients breathe is clean even when the unit is switched off, and never stale. LG airconditioners also operate at low sound levels to provide better rest and uninterrupted sleep for these wounded soldiers. Along with the Smart TVs, these airconditioning units will bring comfort to patients and their families at the wards, 


Officers’ Room, and Isolation and Post-recovery rooms. 

Aside from the patients at the Orthopedic Heroes Ward, the hospital staff will also benefit from LG’s donation of washing machines and a refrigerator, which will be placed at the ward comfort rooms and ward pantry, respectively. The Side by Side Refrigerator has multiple cooling air vents that distribute and circulate cool air to every corner of the refrigerator, ensuring that the staff’s and patients’ food are properly cooled and remain fresh, while the 13kg Inverter Top Load Washing Machines have a Turbo Drum feature that enables the most powerful wash and the removal of the toughest hospital stains. 

The airconditioners, washing machines and refrigerator are all equipped with the latest inverter technology, ensuring that the medical center enjoys bigger energy savings but with more efficient appliances. 






“LG, through its products, is committed to making an everyday difference in the lives of individuals,” says Mr. Heo. “On its 30th anniversary, LG Philippines is honored to support the injured soldiers of Marawi and the Victoriano Luna Medical Center, and we hope that our small gesture will go far in helping these soldiers on their road to recovery.” 

BGen Augustus H De Villa, Acting Commander AFP Health Service Command (AFPHSC) expressed his fervent gratitude to LG Electronics. “I, together with the staff of the AFP Health Service Command, would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to LG Philippines. This deed of donation signing is a concrete realization that our soldiers’ efforts are greatly recognized by the people they are serving. May you continue supporting our troops as they protect and secure the sovereignty of our nation.” 

Earlier this year, LG donated health kits, comprised of roughly 30,000 personal care products, and 200 computer monitors to 46 public schools in Marawi. These initiatives are part of the company’s goals of promoting products and services that serve the local community. Through its CSR projects, LG will continue to serve the Filipino people by developing—and sharing—technology that cares. 

LG Philippines managing director Mr. Inkwun Heo offers praise and appreciation to Corporal Roy Aquino PA who suffered injuries in the Marawi siege. Looking on is LTC Domingo A Chua Jr (MC) PA, Head Dept of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology at the V Luna Medical Center.
