LG Outs Premium Line of Monitors in the PH

In the Philippines, we're still locked in at home and confined in our rooms. Work has resumed but it has changed, and we still can't sacrifice the quality of it no matter where we are in the world. Monitors are in demand now either for office functions, content creation or gaming, which is probably why LG is coming out with their own premium line so you can do that, and more. Your office space is evolving, not just for comfort, but to follow the needs of your work. In an event this evening, they announced a couple models that would fit what you need at home for work, or your gaming pleasure.

LG Philippines Managing Director Sungjae Kim says "We are launching these brand new monitors today to provide and deliver results. With these, you can achieve more in your passion projects, meet the UltraWide Ergo."

Ryan Nulud Head of IT Sales says "The new LG UltraWide Monitor has borderless design, can have a 2 screen split, HD, elevates texture, has sharpness and is pretty good for work."

Joross Gamboa says "Whether I'm editing, recording, playing games, you can see everything because of the screen space. The 5ms response time on this LG UltraWide™ monitor is amazing! I use it for content creation, social media, I watch everything at the same time. Casual gamers and streamers would love this and those who work at home would find this convenient as its got a wider space, 33 percent more than usual wide monitors."

Ace Photographer Magic Liwanag says "These ultra wide monitors particularly the LG UltraFine Display Ergo can help me see details, not just 4K, but the right accurate colors so editing is a breeze. It makes me work easy, see and display things like the real thing. I love the LG UltraFine Display Ergo."

Arianne Francisco adds "The LG UltraGear is NVIDIA G Sync compatible, objects are rendered clearly and you can see the action with its Nano IPS display. You can get faster frames, and better sound quality."

Myrtle Sarroza says "It is seamless, has high resolution even on fast paced games. It has improved my gaming experience, the fast IPS and refresh rate helps, you can improve on your game in no time. It might be a gaming monitor but I can use it for everyday work because I too work at home. I edit my photos and videos in it, all the content I post online has accurate colors because of it. I suggest you to add it to your cart now. The LG UltraGear™ is quite good."

Honestly, I actually need the one that Magic showed on the event. I play Valorant and CODM usually and it pains me to say that I couldn't see it all on the small screen. I need one that is wide, very detailed and something that I can use for work too. Wish it was Christmas already so people know what to give me as a gift LOL!

A Talk on Philippine Textile Weaving

Looks like the fabric gods in the Philippines will be pleased as a talk on native textile will happen today at 4PM (Manila time) on Zoom. This is hosted by Humboldt University Berlin and Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda will be their guest speaker along with Dr. Analyn Salvador-Amores from the University of the Philippines in Baguio. It is entitled "Habi: Weaving Philippine Textiles Future" and will cover mostly what we're internationally known for, the various natural fabrics manufactured here in the country.

If you wish to join the interesting talk, you may register here. You only have a few minutes to do that because it starts at 4PM today.

The Philippines is also the biggest source of Pineapple fabric which is produced in Kalibo, Aklan but we do have other regions who weave and do the same for other natural fibers. This would be an interesting topic especially for the fashion industry who's probably ailing right now because of the pandemic. Go register and see you at the event!

A Talk On "The China COVID-19 Experience"

YILING Pharmaceutical held a talk on the topic "Learning from the China COVID-19 Experience Control and Surge Prevention" hosted by Philippine Archipelago International Trading Corporation.


Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr of the Department of Foreign Affairs welcomed us and said "It is my pleasure welcoming you to this webinar. With over 4 Million deaths, the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us that we need to learn more. No one is safe unless everyone is safe, we need to work together. I understand scientific competition, but timely information is essential in defeating it. The PH and China has cooperated including in kind and sharing donations. They were battling the virus still, but now has made return to work in almost 100% now. Our partnership made us feel we're not alone, thank you China from the bottom of my heart."

Mayor Benjamin Magalong the current PH Vaccine czar says "It's been a year already since the WHO declared this pandemic. Our usual peak season had to stop, we could have risen if we didn't take steps and done targeted action. We are working towards low and manageable level and doing a gradual re-opening activities in several provinces including Baguio. The population testing and contact tracing has continued and we're doing an equilibrium for health safety and economic recovery. It's a complex dance in keeping infections rate low and to avoid overwhelming our health facility. We need to curb the onslaught of the virus on our city and country. We put a premium to a feedback mechanism and adjust our decisions when it is deemed necessary. We advocate transparency, leadership in the community level and it will only work when majority of the population would work with us. Public health is a priority, for the long haul we will have a concerted effort to beat this disease with the use of digital tools, engagement with private sectors as vaccination sites. We need to gather feedback for the people we serve. The pandemic had us transform into a smart city and will happen on 2022. Use this as support system for the city and we have technical partners for our service delivery, government efforts, public safety, and connectivity will be the backbone for this challenge and perhaps put up an LGU managed city broadband network. This is our experience, and we hope this would be something that others would learn in responding to adversity and become resilient."

Secretary Vince Dizon the Chief Testing czar and BCDA head says "We were not prepared for this, but China helped in equipment, medicines, provided by public and private organizations. We got it in control compared to others who have been struggling, this is a whole nation approach and we got assistance. Despite delays in delivery, we have vaccinated a few million and hope to have more in the next few months. Hopefully we have ample amount of doses soon as no one is safe until everyone is safe."

Master Physician of Eastern  Medicine Jzhia Zhen Hua says "Viral disease has been a great threat and we've been battling a few over the years. There will be a reduction in efficacy, we need to have an effective way to battle this disease and in the last year the Chinese government placed strong measures against COVID-19 and has made Chinese medicine part of it. We have rich experience in combating the disease. Lianhua Qingwen has played an important role in prevention and control of influenza A H1N1 virus, it also inhibits SARS Cov 2 replication, inhibits inflammatory reaction and reduces lung injury in animal tests (mice). It is also suggested to be used for people who have mild to moderate symptoms."

 

 

Philippine Archipelago International Trading Corporation President Ms. Olivia Limpe-Aw says "We need earlier intervention, the comprehensive rehabilitation and treatment, the combination of Eastern and Western medicine. They stressed cooperation, of people from all walks of life, involve all sectors of society to battle COVID. We pray for ample amount of vaccines, thank our speakers for their support and the offices who have made this event possible. We hope to soon have normalcy in our lives so our economy can get back on track." Lianhua Qingwan is available in Mercury Drug, Rose Pharmacy, Southstar Drug and Watsons. This is a prescription drug so make sure you have consulted your doctor if you plan to take this.
