Is your refrigerator holiday-ready?

The holidays are almost always jam-packed with gatherings every week. And for homes that regularly host the celebrations, the kitchen will need to be efficient with plenty of storage space so that food preparation and cleanup will run smoothly as possible.

Next to cooking appliances, refrigerators take center stage during the holidays by keeping fresh ingredients, chilled drinks, and leftovers neatly stored and organized in the kitchen. A regular-sized fridge, however, might not be enough for the needs of the occasion, especially with new faces possibly adding to the yearly guest list.



“Christmas should be about renewing relationships with the people we love, not about worrying how to keep things in order. To make our loved ones feel welcome when they visit, it’s important that we keep our homes stress-free,” said Jennifer Samson, Haier’s Product Manager for refrigerators.

Food prep hacks for families on the go

Family dinners at home are possible with the right kitchen appliances 

Eating together at home is a time-honored practice among Filipinos, but the daily demands of work and school—not to mention traffic—are making it harder to sit with family at the dinner table.

“Mealtimes with family aren’t just about enjoying home-cooked food. Important conversations often happen during dinner, allowing families to nurture values and strengthen relationships,” said Leny Agdamag, Haier’s Product Manager for Small and Kitchen Domestic Appliances.


The time spent when preparing meals is a huge factor in why people are opting to eat whenever they can to and from school or the office. Good food, however, does not necessarily require too much time in the kitchen with the right microwave and oven toaster.

Big fridge for small business

Full-size functionality with Haier’s large-capacity refrigerators

Food entrepreneurship in the last few years has branched away from the traditional restaurant model as more businesses set up at home or join food parks across the Metro. But success in this rising sector takes more than just delicious food, value for money, or even connections.

“Consumers today aren’t just picky eaters, they also look at the whole service when evaluating the quality of a food stall or restaurant,” Haier’s Product Manager for Refrigerators Jennifer Samson said. “With that in mind, aspiring food businesses should always be ready to meet customer expectations.”

Kitchen functionality is vital to quality food service, and appliances like the refrigerator play a central role in keeping the prep area organized and efficient. Unfortunately, a typical residential fridge might prove too small for storing a week’s worth of food and drinks, while a commercial refrigerator might be too bulky for a house or small stall.

Protect your homes from Zika and dengue with ZAP AK Multi-Insect Killer

With recent reports of a sixth Zika case in the Philippines as confirmed by the Department of Health and twelve cases in Singapore as per the World Health Organization (WHO)’s record, the fear of acquiring the virus is rapidly spreading, too.

As of today, the Zika virus, which is transmitted by the Aedis aegypti mosquito, has reached at least twenty-four countries. Zika is attracting worldwide attention because of its connection with microcephaly, a neurological disorder resulting in babies born with abnormally small heads.

Even before the Zika virus became a worldwide threat, dengue—another mosquito-borne disease—has continually plagued the Philippines.

Consider the numbers: according to data gathered by the WHO Western Pacific Region, dengue cases rose to epidemic levels in 2015, with an average of 220 reported cases per day. As of February 2016, there have been 18,790 reported dengue cases in the country.

How Alkaline Water And Diet Can Help Maintain Your Health

​Much has been said regarding the impact of an acidic body ph to one’s health particularly its connection with various diseases.

The body naturally creates acids as part of the digestive system or as a by-product of various metabolic processes. However, one’s body may experience over acidity due to factors like a diet rich in processed foods, stress, and other lifestyle factors. Chronic over acidity affects all the body’s cellular functions and is seen to contribute to cancer, heart disease, obesity, weight problems, allergies, fatigue and premature aging as well as problems with our nervous system, cardiovascular system and muscles.

Brother’s effortless Refill Tank System redefines ink refilling

Tedious, messy refilling process, and inconsistent printouts - a thing of the past with Brother’s smart, cost-efficient ink solution

Printer consumables—especially ink cartridges—can be a major pain point for many modern offices. In the Philippines, consumers often opt for low-cost alternative of having original ink cartridges refilled with cheaper and inferior ink formulas that can clog print heads and fail to deliver good printouts.

Brother International Philippines Corp., a leader in home and business IT peripherals, introduced a line of Multi-Function Centres (MFCs) that maximize productivity and savings through a smartly designed Refill Tank System. Built right into the machine itself (unlike other refilling devices sold by third-party manufacturers), the easy-to-use Refill Tank System allows users to maximize productivity and savings without risking poor print output and machine damage.

Three-step refill process

Topping up ink levels with the Refill Tank System is easy—users just have to follow three simple steps: open the cover, refill the ink tanks, and close the cover. The refilling process is so easy that users can do it on their own!

Brother also introduced several smart innovations to the system’s design, including a translucent cover that allows users to monitor ink usage at a glance, as well as a tank that can be refilled just by tilting the bottle at a 45-degree angle. At this angle, refilling is quick and mess-free; users will never spill and waste a single drop of ink. The ink goes straight into the tanks, and not on fingers, furniture, clothes, and important documents

Reading pet food labels

How to choose the right one for your pet?

Pet foods in the market today are increasingly becoming more specialized, offering wide array of varieties that are based on the life stage, size, breed, or health condition of the dog or cat. However, the numerous terms and information plastered on the packaging might be overwhelming for a pet parent who is looking for the perfect food for their furry friend.

In an effort to help pet owners make more informed decisions on selecting the best food for their dogs and cats, Pet Food Institute (PFI), shares some tips in deciphering the different components that make up the pet food label. PFI is committed to educating the growing Filipino pet community on responsible pet ownership through its initiative, the Well Fed, Well Nurtured campaign in partnership with the Veterinary Practitioners Association of the Philippines.

Dyson captures the invisible threat in your home

The Dyson Pure Cool™ Link purifier fan automatically removes 99.95% of indoor allergens and pollutants as small as 0.1 microns from the air.1

Globally, air quality in cities is deteriorating. But the air pollution inside your home can be up to five times worse than outside2, and we spend approximately 90% of our time indoors.3

Major indoor air pollutants include gases from cooking and central heating, mould, pet hair, pollen and allergens. Invisible to the naked eye, it is these ultrafine and potentially harmful particles that can travel easily through the air that surrounds us in the home.

Dyson engineers have combined their expertise in fluid dynamics and filtration systems with software to develop the new Dyson Pure Cool™ Link. This is a purifier that gives you an indication of the air quality in your home automatically purifying the pollutants it detects, whilst reporting the live indoor and outdoor4 air quality to the Dyson Link App – making the invisible visible, at the tap of a finger.

High-five to Torayvino Water Purifier

If you believe that the water delivered to your house, either by the usual utility firm or refilling station, is potable and safe for you and your family, think again. Unfortunately, there are a number of factors that may compromise the quality of drinking water, whether coming from the kitchen faucet or filtered and bottled.

 Considering the unreliability of piping systems in the country, the water distributed by major concessionaires and local water districts may not be fit for drinking as it can be adulterated by old, dilapidated or illicit pipe connections. Water from refilling stations dotting almost everywhere, on the other hand, comes mostly in non-BPA containers, which are also not guaranteed to be properly cleaned 100% of the time, and may be exposed to pollutants during preparation, storage or delivery.

Power Over Cervical Cancer: The Power to Protect Yourself and Your Dreams

We may be living in an era where women not only rule our homes, they also run the world—from being leaders in the government to managing business enterprises, women now have more opportunities to realize their dreams. 

The sad fact, however, is that every day, seven Filipino women die of cervical cancer, and may never get to complete their life goals, may be stripped of the chance to fulfill a successful career, start a family or even just find Mr. Right. All because of a disease, a kind of cancer that puts every woman at risk, regardless of race, age, lifestyle or socio-economic status.

Cervical cancer continues to be a major threat for Filipino women. It is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among Filipinas. What’s worrisome is that two in three Filipinas diagnosed with cervical cancer may die within five years. Since culturally, Filipinas are known to be caring and selfless for others but tend to dismiss concerns about themselves, those who may have contracted cervical cancer may have been diagnosed at a late stage, when the chances of recovery are slim.

Keep your pets hydrated in the scorching heat

Spending the summer in the wild outdoors is a fun and worthwhile activity especially in the company of a furry companion. But when the temperature rises to an alarming rate, the boiling heat can weaken the body and the mind of both people and pets due to dehydration.

Just like us, our furry friends have bodies that consist mostly of water. In fact, pets need more water than we do. Although essential, we people can get a lot of water from the food we consume. This is a different case for pets. Pet foods, especially dry kibble, may contain lower water levels than people food. This variant may best be complimented with wet food or larger rounds of water to ensure that the pet is receiving the sufficient amount of water it needs.

Signs of a Healthy Pet

A balanced diet, regular exercise, proper grooming and regular check-ups to the vet are essential in keeping your pet healthy. However, pets can only express themselves through barks, meows and movements, so you may not know if your furry friend is feeling any pain or discomfort. Most of the time, the irregularities are very subtle. It takes a sharp eye to identify the symptoms of pet ailments.

Pet Food Institute and the Veterinary Practitioners Association of the Philippines, through its Well Fed, Well Nurtured campaign, impart a head-to-toe checklist for pet owners to make sure that little Fido and Fluffy are in tip-top condition.

Eyes

Healthy cats have clear and bright eyes. Their pupil shape varies from the light reflecting on them. One of the unique characteristics of a cat is the ability to see through the dark with glowing eyes. Any irregularities like redness or mucus excretion can mean infection or nutrient deficiency. If the cat squints or blinks with one eye, it could indicate injuries like a scratch, or a foreign matter may be stuck in the eye area.

Common pet care mistakes

Most pet owners adopt a pet for companionship. While it’s true that your furry pal is cute, cuddly and loyal, you might be overlooking at the more important things besides the love and comfort you are already providing. In some cases, first-time pet owners may accidentally commit common pet care mistakes.

Sound body and good hygiene are the most important things that should be maintained for pets. It is understandable that all your efforts are good-natured intentions to bond well with your new-found friend, but imparting care and affection are done differently with Fido or Fluffy. All it takes is an expert advice to properly nurture your pet with right the food and exercise.

Clean air – the key to better health in 2016

Philips air-cleansing technologies can keep your family healthy all-year round

While New Year’s Day came with equal parts joy and hopeful anticipation, the annual barrage of fireworks also brought in a slew of hazards that are harmful to health.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) expressed concern at spikes in Metro Manila’s air pollution during the region's New Year’s Eve celebrations. Just before 1am of January 1, 2015, a real-time monitoring station in one of Metro Manila’s cities recorded the highest level of PM10 pollutants at 2,000 micrograms per normal cubic meter (mcg/Ncm). The normal ambient guideline value of PM10 is 60mcg/Ncm, according to the DENR.
