Samsung Lends Washing Machines to Taal Volcano Eruption Victims

MANILA, Philippines – Less than a week after the recent Taal Volcano eruption, Samsung Philippines headed to Batangas and lent top-of-the-line washing machines to aid affected victims, making it possible for them to thoroughly remove volcanic ash and wash their clothes.

On January 18, the company handed 16 washers and dryers to the Inosluban-Marawoy Evacuation Center in Lipa City, with assistance from Batangas Governor Dodo Mandanas and Lipa City Councilor Mikee Morada. Samsung also lent a television set to the kids and other evacuees to access news and entertainment while in the evacuation center.

The project aims to help over 2,500 evacuees from either Tagaytay, Talisay, Tanauan, or other Batangas residents. In the first three days, over 1,400 kilograms of clothing have been washed.

Being displaced from their homes, having easy access to an everyday need greatly eases their situation, and allows those affected to focus more on recovering from the calamity.

"Our hearts go out to the people affected by the Taal Volcano eruption. It is a difficult situation to be away from one’s home,” said James Jung, President of Samsung Philippines. “We, at Samsung, strongly believe in technology that nurtures and enables people, so we hope to ease the living situation of the victims while they’re dealing with the aftermath of the eruption."

The washers and dryers will remain in the evacuation center until the Taal Volcano’s alert level lowers down, with the situation being safer for the victims to return home.

Biggest OPPO Super Experience Store in the PH opens in Ayala Malls Manila Bay


PHILIPPINES - January 2020 – Last January 18, 2020, OPPO opened their largest and grandest OPPO Super Experience Store with an area of about 286 square meter in Ayala Malls Manila Bay, in line with their continuous effort to provide Filipinos with an improved customer service experience.



From L-R: OPPO Philippines vice president for national sales, Zen Han; OPPO Philippines retail director, Jenny Chen; OPPO Philippines CEO, Damon Huang; Silicon Valley chairman, Tommy Tia; OPPO Ambassador and content creator, Mimiyuuuh; OPPO Philippines vice president for business development, Jane Wan; OPPO Philippines aftersales director, Kent Zhang; and Silicon Valley president, Joel Pe.

The wide space of the OPPO Experience Store was strategically designed to commit towards the development of the brand’s own line of Internet of Things (IOT) products, as well as to better provide quality customer service.


The newest OPPO Experience Store is also partly inspired by the aesthetics of the OPPO super flagship stores found in China, Singapore, and Thailand. The interior features an expansive mirror ceiling that enhances the lighting effect and also overall feel of the store. The new store also has a lounge area that is fully equipped with VOOC Flash Charging outlets where OPPO customers can lounge around and stay connected while checking the latest OPPO products or waiting for their turn at the customer care. 



Another highlight of the grand opening was the OPPO Service Center 3.0 that features a minimalist yet a sophisticated ambiance with an improved service experience for repairs, consultations, and centralized customer care services. The newest service center offers a more transparent service program where customers can observe while the well-trained customer care representative repairs their smartphone. 

The grand opening event last January 18 was filled with exciting games, raffles, freebies, and a store tour with local Youtube sensation Mimiyuuuh. Check out the newest OPPO Super Experience Store soon to get a first-hand experience of the world-renowned tech brand’s innovations. 

The new OPPO Super Experience Store is located on the 4th floor of Ayala Malls Manila Bay, MacapagalAvenue, Tambo Paranaque City.
