LG Electronics, a global leader in home appliances and electronics, recently provided much-needed relief to the communities of Barangay Planters and Barangay Anak Pawis 2 in Westbank Drive, Cainta, Rizal, from August 1 to 3, and Barangay Malanday in Marikina City, from August 9 to 11. The initiative offered residents severely affected by Typhoon Carina a three-day free laundry service and appliance check-up.

 

As part of LG's ongoing commitment to CSR and community service, LG established a mobile laundry station in the center of the barangays, providing essential aid to families still recovering from the typhoon's destructive impacts. LG set up 11 washer and dryer units, operating from 8 AM to 5 PM, to offer free laundry services, ensuring that the community had access to clean clothing when they needed it most.

Lola Amour, Maki, and Jikamarie Unite Music and Art in Crocs' New Campaign

The worlds of music, fashion, and self-expression have converged in a new collaboration featuring some of the fastest rising musical artists in the Philippines as Lola Amour, Maki, and Jikamarie celebrate artistry and individuality as they team up with Crocs, the iconic footwear brand known for its commitment to individuality and comfort, to create a collection that embodies their unique styles and artistic visions.

“We’ve all heard their music – from Lola Amour’s ‘Raining in Manila’, the city pop song that makes you want to dance in the rain in the middle of the capital to self-love and growth anthems like Jikamarie’s ‘The Sun Is You’ and Maki’s ‘Dilaw.’ These songs not only capture the essence of each artist's journey but also embody the unique styles and creative visions that they bring to life,” said Franceska Flores, Marketing Head of Crocs Philippines. “Through this collaboration, we gave them free rein to translate their creativity and use the Classic Clogs and Jibbitz as their canvas for self-expression–pieces of art that we hope will resonate not only with their fans but for Filipinos yearning for that freedom to showcase their individuality and style.”

The partnership is part of Crocs’ ongoing collaboration with local artists–those who embody the brand’s “Come As You Are” ethos. Last year, the brand teamed up with digital artists and illustrators Jethro Olba, Soleil Ignacio, Kim Borja, Isabel Weber, and Carriel Veloso (Tyang Karyel).

Lola Amour brings their retro-yet-modern aesthetic with the Classic Clogs in Moss Green decorated with Jibbitz that encapsulate the fun of youth.

Lola Amour: Where retro meets modern

Lola Amour, known for their retro-infused sound and infectious energy, brings a nostalgic yet modern twist to the collection. Their design features bold, colorful patterns that evoke the playful spirit of their music. Their Classic Clog in Moss features Jibbitz reminiscent of school days, making friends, and finding yourself.

"We wanted to create something that not only looks cool but also feels like us," said the band. "These Crocs are all about having fun and expressing yourself, just like our music."

Jikamarie brings her trademark whimsy and eclectic style with her Classic Clogs in Dark Iris featuring Jibbitz that run the gamut of colors and textures

Jikamarie: A Burst of Color and Creativity

Jikamarie, the vibrant singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style and infectious positivity, brings a burst of color to the collection. Her classic clogs are a riot of furs, pearls, butterflies, set on a Classic Clog in Dark Iris, capturing the essence of her joyful, carefree approach to life and music. With her pair representing her favorite things, from music notes to smiley faces, Jikamarie's design is a celebration of creativity and individuality.

"I want people to feel happy and confident when they wear these Crocs," Jikamarie said. "They're all about embracing who you are and letting your true colors shine.”

Maki brings nostalgia to the fore with his Classic Clogs in Tan decked in Jibbitz that represent his vibrant energy of young adulthood.

Maki: Memories of carefree youth

Known for songs that celebrate self-love, growth, and self-expression through art, Maki’s classic clogs represent the carefree-ness of youth, a continuation of what his smash hit “Dilaw” embodies. Through his Classic Clogs in Wheat and favorite charms such as bears, stars, and a video ko game controller, Maki captures the vibrant energy and optimism of young adulthood, inviting fans to embrace their true selves with confidence and joy.

“For me, art is a powerful tool for self-expression and connection. It’s about conveying emotions, telling stories, and creating something that resonates with others on a deeper level. Whether it's through music or fashion, art allows us to share a piece of who we are with the world,” said the crooner.

A Collaboration Beyond Fashion

Crocs is bringing bold simplicity to life with this season’s collection, giving you the opportunity to create looks that reflect your personality and unleash self-expression. By collaborating with Crocs, Lola Amour, Maki, and Jikamarie are encouraging their fans to embrace their individuality and wear their personalities on their feet.

“Crocs have long been a symbol of comfort and versatility, and this collaboration takes that concept to the next level by infusing it with the creativity and passion of three incredible artists. The collection is a reminder that fashion is not just about what you wear, but how you express yourself,” said Ms. Flores.

realme Philippines Teases the Upcoming Launch of the realme 13 Pro Series 5G

Following the success and milestones it has achieved for realme 12 Pro Series 5G and realme GT 6, realme Philippines is now gearing up for the realme 13 Pro Series 5G launch. The brand has confirmed the arrival of the latest smartphone lineup via a teaser post on its official Facebook page, although the official date of the launch has yet to be announced.

The much-anticipated realme 13 Pro Series 5G stirred excitement for fans as it features realme’s first-ever Ultra Clear Camera with AI. This technology marries next-gen camera innovations with stunning designs to empower young users to capture the world in a whole new way.

Known for its legacy of integrating popular culture into innovative designs, such as the realme 10 Pro 5G Coca-Cola® Edition, the GT NEO 3T Dragon Ball Z Edition, and the GT NEO 3 Naruto Edition, realme collaborates with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) this time for the realme 13 Pro Series 5G. The partnership aims to bring inspiration from one of the legendary masters of Impressionism, Claude Monet, to the realme 13 Pro Series. 

The collaboration is said to be the first of its kind in the smartphone industry, combining unique elements from Monet's iconic works enhanced with a state-of-the-art flash gold process to create a premium aesthetic appearance. Drawing inspiration from Monet’s depictions of nature and beauty, the design of the realme 13 Pro Series 5G reflects the stunning play of light and color found in two of his masterpieces: Grainstack (Sunset) and Water Lilies. The golden haystacks and purple water lilies in these paintings were transformed into two exclusive color variants, Monet Gold and Monet Purple.

The realme 13 Pro Series 5G launch reaffirms the brand’s focus on providing the Squad with immersive experiences through Ultra Clear Camera with AI and standout design. Stay tuned on realme’s official Facebook page for the realme 13 Pro Series 5G launch announcement..

Smart unveils Loan-A-Load service

 Mobile services provider Smart Communications Inc. (Smart) has unveiled Loan-A-Load, an innovative service that enables subscribers to borrow data, especially when they are running out of data allocation.

Initially available to Smart Prepaid users on Android devices, Loan-A-Load packages start at 100 MB Open Access Data for P5, 200 MB Open Access Data for P10, and 300 MB Open Access Data for P15, all valid for one day. This gives subscribers the flexibility to accomplish their essential online tasks when needed.

 

To avail of the service, customers must simply turn on their Smart mobile data with WiFi turned off, opt for Facebook Free Mode, and have their mobile number linked to their Facebook account. On the Facebook Mobile Center, subscribers may choose their preferred Loan-A-Load package then click ‘Confirm.’

 

"Now that we’ve shifted most of our activities online, online connectivity has become essential. With Loan-A-Load service, we want to ensure our subscribers can stay connected whenever and wherever they need it the most—even if they have run out of load,” said Lloyd Manaloto, First Vice President-Prepaid Marketing, Content and Business Development.

 

"Smart is proud to offer this service to our subscribers, as it leads the way in delivering solutions that truly improve our users' daily lives," said Jerome Y. Almirante, VP and Head of Innovations and Digital Services at Smart.

 

Loan-A-Load is particularly useful when traditional top-up services are inaccessible, such as during natural disasters or emergencies. Subscribers can quickly borrow data to stay informed and connected with loved ones.

 

Loan-A-Load may also cater to students and professionals who rely on mobile data for online classes or remote work, ensuring they don’t miss important sessions or deadlines due to a lack of data.

 

The Loan-A-Load service may only be used by the borrower one at a time. Borrowers should also not have an existing loan balance and have been active on the Smart network for at least 30 days. As soon as the borrower has paid off his or her previous loan, he or she may use the service again.

 

‘Loan-A-Load’ is powered by Smart’s superior mobile network, recently recognized for delivering the Philippines’ Best 5G Coverage Experience by independent network analytics from Opensignal.
