The Samsung Refrigerator Fits Everything You Need

 Home appliances are essential to modern living, as the right device can elevate daily routines, save time, and increase convenience – all of which Samsung delivers to Filipino families. With its Side-by-Side Refrigerator, Samsung helps homeowners make room for everything they need and more, seamlessly integrating into your lifestyle and transforming how you experience daily meals and festive gatherings.

Bigger, Cooler, Better

 

Imagine a space where everything has its rightful place, and you no longer have to worry about squeezing in groceries and food containers in random nooks and crannies. The Samsung Side-by-Side Refrigerator makes tightly packed storage a thing of the past, offering a smart organization solution through SpaceMax™ Technology. 

 

The refrigerator’s unique SpaceMax™ Technology creates a larger storage capacity, boasting a 583-liter space. This technology enables the refrigerator’s walls to be much thinner, using a minimal amount of high-efficiency insulation to avoid compromising energy efficiency and increasing the size of the refrigerator itself. 

 

Despite offering significantly larger storage space, its external appearance maintains a neat, minimalist appearance that fits perfectly in your kitchen. With a stylishly integrated design that features beautiful flat doors, recessed handles, and a hidden display, the Side-by-Side Refrigerator enhances both aesthetics and functionality, making it a stylish yet practical addition. 

 

With just the click of a button, Power Cool delivers powerful blasts of cold air to rapidly chill groceries and beverages, and create ice. Power Cool becomes especially valuable during casual gatherings, birthday parties, or festive celebrations, ensuring everything stays chilled and ready to enjoy. 

 

Smart, Future-Ready Living

 

More than just a place to store and chill your food, the Samsung Side-by-Side Refrigerator is thoughtfully designed with the present and future in mind. The refrigerator leverages cutting-edge technology for effortless management and reliable durability, making every day just a bit easier and every moment in your kitchen a little more meaningful.

 

Samsung makes caring for your appliances a breeze with the SmartThings app* that brings all your appliances together in one place. Using your phone and connecting it with the refrigerator’s embedded wi-fi, you can track and adjust its performance through the SmartThings app and even diagnose issues anytime and anywhere. This way, you can effortlessly stay on top of things and spend more time enjoying your time at home.

 

Even with the Side-by-Side Refrigerator’s powerful cooling capabilities, you can rest easy knowing that SmartThings AI Energy Mode keeps energy consumption in check, allowing you to enjoy freshness while saving up to 10 percent** of energy. When activated, the system automatically adjusts the compressor speed and the defrost cycle based on how you use the refrigerator and the surrounding environment, so it runs more efficiently and saves you money in the long run.

 

With the Samsung Side-by-Side Refrigerator, you'll find yourself eager to stay home and share meals with your family more often! Create cherished moments around the dining table, knowing that your food is stored at its best, and rest easy knowing your refrigerator is built to support your family for the years ahead. To purchase your own Side-by-Side Refrigerator, go to  https://www.samsung.com/ph or visit any of Samsung’s authorized dealers nationwide.

 

*Available on Android and iOS devices. A Wi-Fi connection and Samsung account are required.

Asia’s Limitless Star Julie Ann San Jose is Ginebra Calendar Girl 2025

 

On the 190th anniversary of its flagship brand, Ginebra San Miguel, the maker of the world's best-selling gin has named Asia's Limitless Star Julie Anne San Jose as the 2025 and 34th Ginebra San Miguel Calendar Girl in a launch attended by media and other guests at the Diamond Hotel in Manila. 

 

Julie Anne San Jose is a Filipina singer, songwriter, actress, host, instrumentalist, and television personality, earning the title 'Asia's Limitless Star' for her limitless range of talents. Just as Ginebra San Miguel has weathered changing times and remained relevant to consumers, Julie Anne has continuously reinvented herself for her fans since 2005 by staying true to her artistic vision while thriving in a competitive industry with her passion and "never-say-die" spirit.   

"Her dedication to her craft and resilience in the industry mirrors Ginebra San Miguel's 190-year legacy of excellence, making her the perfect choice for our next Calendar Girl," says GSMI Marketing Manager Ron Molina.  

With Obra Maestra (Masterpiece) as the theme for the 2025 calendars, the multi-awarded singer brings to life six visual compositions, creating a stunning collection of timeless masterpieces.  

"For 190 years, Ginebra San Miguel has crafted masterpieces in every bottle, offering only the finest in distilled spirits. Our next calendar continues to uphold GSMI's heritage of excellence with a tribute to classic art, reflecting the same dedication to quality craftsmanship that has made our gin popular and loved by many since 1834," Mr. Molina added.  

A staple in Kapuso musical and variety shows with her show stopping song and dance numbers, Julie Anne San Jose is currently the judge of The Voice Kids Philippines and the host of singing competition The Clash.  

JULIE ANNE IN OBRA MAESTRA 

Ginebra San Miguel has always been known for its iconic label by National Artist Fernando Amorsolo. In this first layout, she embodies the courage and determination of a fearless Filipina ready to face any challenge. 

Inspired by this timeless masterpiece, Julie Anne is portrayed as a muse and goddess, showcasing her artistry and elegance in five other classic artworks.   

Dressed in white, the second layout depicts Julie Anne as "Galatea," Pygmalion's sculpture of his ideal woman brought to life by Aphrodite. This symbolizes creativity and passion in art, much like how GSM Blue Flavors can be creatively mixed and matched to create a unique and personalized drink.  

The third layout features the Grape Escape cocktail mix, "Paris Opera Terpsichore," showcasing Julie Anne as the muse of lyric, poetry, and dance. Julie Anne is truly elegant in this layout, just like how premium and sophisticated Primera Light Brandy is.  

In the fourth layout, Julie Anne is portrayed as "Diana," the huntress, symbolizing independence and strength. Showcasing Kula Orange Fizz cocktail mix, Julie Anne is sure to ignite a bold new strength to Vino Kulafu drinkers. Julie Anne felt a particular connection to this layout among all the layouts. "Aside from having an earthy set-up because I'm a nature lover, the bow and arrow in this layout resonate with me as an artist. It symbolizes my constant pursuit of improvement, my quest to explore new horizons and the world further."  

In the fifth and sixth layouts, Julie Anne embodies the timeless beauty of "The Birth of Venus" and "La Grande Odalisque." Symbolizing beauty, grace, and quality, these iconic paintings invite consumers to savor the refined taste of GSM Premium Gin and Antonov Vodka, respectively.   

As in previous years, the 2025 Ginebra San Miguel calendar features a QR code that consumers can scan using their smartphones to watch and learn more about Julie Anne's signature cocktail mixes using Ginebra San Miguel products.  

The new face of Ginebra San Miguel is also a certified gin enthusiast, with gin & tonic as her go-to cocktail. Julie Anne's connection with Ginebra San Miguel is also deeply rooted in her personal history. "Growing up, I always saw my lolo drink Ginebra San Miguel. Ginebra has always been part of our lives for every gathering, whether Christmas, birthday parties, or just a simple celebration."  

 

As the new muse of Ginebra San Miguel, Julie Anne aims to inspire women and fans alike with her 'ganado' and 'never-say-die' attitude. Her journey demonstrates that success is built on hard work, passion, and resilience. She is truly a limitless icon who motivates others to pursue their dreams, embrace their individuality, and unlock their creative potential.  

THE GINEBRA CALENDAR TRADITION 

The Ginebra San Miguel Calendar Girl is a long-held tradition in GSMI and an important part of the brand's history. Since its inception in 1988, beauty queens, TV, and movie actresses, and models who have made their mark in their respective fields have graced the Ginebra San Miguel calendar.
