Experience the Real Power of Quantum Dot Technology with Samsung QLED TVs

QLED TV 1/13/2025 09:00:00 AM

Samsung remains committed to delivering intelligent, intuitive, and seamless screen experiences to Filipino homes and businesses, earning its title as the unrivaled Global No. 1 TV brand for 18 consecutive years. Staying true to its history of excellence and continuing its legacy of innovation, Samsung today leads in pushing the limits of what a TV can offer, bringing to life the game-changing Quantum Dot technology of its Real QLED TVs.

Samsung’s Real QLED: Mirroring Real Life

Quantum Dot is a new display technology that enables the most detailed and accurate color expression on Samsung QLED 4K Smart TVs. While only the size of a nanometer and can’t even be seen by the naked eye, these semiconductors are powerful enough to produce a billion shades of color for the truest depiction of the world as we see it.

Unlike other televisions falsely marketed as QLED, Samsung’s Real QLED TVs contain quantum dot sheet technology that stably controls delicate quantum dot particles and allows light made by quantum dots to spread uniformly throughout the screen. This allows Samsung QLED TVs to emit brighter whites, deeper blacks, and an exceptional color range overall.

With 100% Color Volume, Samsung’s Quantum Dot technology transforms light into a billion shades of lifelike colors that remain accurate regardless of the brightness level for its finest picture ever.

The True Standard of Quantum Dot Technology

As a market leader in Quantum Dots development and display products, Samsung has taken bold steps in refining the technology of its QLED TVs and challenging what was previously the norm. Recognizing the potential negative environmental impact of cadmium-based quantum dot solutions, Samsung based its quantum dots on indium instead, developing the industry’s first cadmium-free quantum dots.

Apart from its safety, Samsung prides in the durability of its QLED TVs, ensuring that the quantum dot display is kept stable and can maintain its picture quality year after year. From excellent picture quality to durability, Samsung QLED TVs indeed make the ideal screens for premium home entertainment and business displays.

“Samsung is beyond just ‘making TVs’—we are dedicated to designing unique experiences for families and consumers that only they can get with a Samsung TV, based on in-depth research and years of innovating,” remarked Chris Almazan, Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation’s (SEPCO) Head of AV Business. “When it comes to the real QLED experience, you can rely on Samsung to deliver it with unmatched quality and excellence,” he added.

If you’re seeking to experience the performance of Quantum Dot technology at its best, Samsung offers up to 38% off on its online-exclusive QLED TV deals plus premium freebies including a Disney+ Annual Premium Plan* and more. Visit https://samsung.com/ph to learn more about Samsung’s QLED TV offerings.

Start Strong: Make Your Health a Priority This Year

HPV 1/13/2025 08:40:00 AM

Every new year, we hear it time and again: This year will be different.

It’s a chance to quit those bad habits, tackle long-standing goals, and build a healthier future. With each January, we’re inspired by the promise of a fresh start—an ideal time to stop smoking, adopt cleaner habits, and finally prioritize well-being.

Yet, more often than not, these resolutions fizzle out. Plans that feel achievable in the moment tend to fade, proving unsustainable or simply out of reach. The truth is, waiting for the perfect time often leads to wasted opportunities.

That’s why investing in your health now is the best course of action. Seize this moment to make lasting changes, because the future you’re working toward deserves more than a fleeting resolution. It's about building the foundation for a healthier, stronger life—not just for this year, but for all the years to come.

Here’s how you can do it:

● Get screened for preventable diseases like the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes cervical cancer and other HPV-related diseases

● Drink more water daily

● Incorporate short walks into your routine

● Get quality sleep

● Be mindful of what you eat

● Consult your doctor about vaccination

Drink more water daily

Water is essential for nearly every bodily function, from digestion to joint health. Try carrying a reusable water bottle with you, and aim for small sips throughout the day. Gradually work up to drinking about four to six cups daily, adjusting based on your body’s needs and activity level.

Incorporate short walks into your routine

Walking is one of the simplest forms of exercise. Try a two-minute walk after meals; it aids digestion, lowers blood pressure, and even helps regulate your blood sugar. Over time, you might find yourself gradually increasing your walking time as it becomes a natural part of your routine.

Get quality sleep

If you feel irritated or can’t think properly, there’s a chance that you may not be getting a restful sleep. Try setting a consistent bedtime and winding down with a relaxing routine. Limiting screen time and caffeine before bed can also help you fall asleep more easily.

Be mindful of what you eat

A balanced diet rich in essential vitamins like vitamin C, D, B6, B12, Omega-3, calcium, and iron supports everything from immunity to hormones. Start by adding more whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains, into your meals. These nutrient-dense foods help fuel your body with what it needs for optimal function.

Additionally, be conscious of your sugar intake; you can gradually cut down by swapping one sugary drink or snack each day with a healthier option, like herbal tea or a piece of fruit.

Get screened for preventable diseases

Regular screenings, like those for HPV, diabetes, or cholesterol levels, are essential. Catching potential issues early means they can often be managed or treated effectively before they become serious. Make it a priority to schedule these screenings annually or as recommended by your doctor.

Consult your doctor about vaccination

Vaccines prevent serious health issues, especially for HPV, a virus that can lead to cervical cancer and other HPV-related diseases such as anal cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, penile cancer, vaginal cancer, vulvar cancer and genital warts.

Vaccination can significantly reduce your risk of developing HPV-related diseases. This simple step can help remove HPV from your list of potential health concerns, empowering you to focus on other aspects of wellness. Consult your healthcare provider about the HPV vaccine.

Starting with these small, sustainable changes can lead to significant improvements in your health over time. By investing in your well-being today, you’re laying the foundation for a healthier, stronger future. Learn more on how to invest in your health at https://guardagainsthpv.ph/.

Plan Balanced, Nutritious Meals

Fuel your fitness journey with Century Tuna and Grilled Sweet Potato

Your fitness goals are fueled by what’s on your plate. Incorporate protein-rich foods like Century Tuna into your meals to support muscle recovery and boost energy. With a variety of flavors, including Herbs and Paella, Century Tuna makes eating healthy both easy and delicious.

Move More, Every Day

Ajinomoto Foundation Postgraduate Scholarship: Springboard to your Dreams

ajinomoto 1/08/2025 09:17:00 PM

Before the Ajinomoto Foundation Postgraduate Scholarship, Rogie Royce Caradang was a college kid with a dream and global perspective. He knew he wanted to do more after he graduated, to expand his education so he could learn everything he could about science.

It was Rogie Royce's dearest wish to make a difference in the world of science. And before the Ajinomoto Foundation Scholarship Program he was in search of direction. Once he realized he was a perfect fit, a high achiever looking to broaden his horizons, he applied and pursued his postgraduate studies in Japan.

His experience in Japan was life changing. But Carandang knew that he was only going to get as far as he was willing to work hard. But in studying abroad and gaining a new springboard towards his dreams, he was able to breakthrough and even make consequential discoveries that may even lead to cures for illnesses like cancer.

Carandang started his Masteral Degree in Aquatic Natural Products Chemistry at the University of Tokyo in April 2013 and finished it in March 2016. He was able to publish his research in an international journal and parlayed his success into a position as a Postdoctoral Fellow at The University of Connecticut Health. His journey exemplifies the Ajinomoto Postgraduate Scholarship’s potential to create global impact while shaping professional and personal growth.

"This scholarship is not just financial support—it is a transformative opportunity to broaden your horizons, advance your career, and make a lasting impact in your field." says the now world-renowned Research Fellow. Carandang attributes his success to hard-work, finding the right focus, and then taking that leap off a springboard into more than he had ever thought he could achieve.

The Ajinomoto Foundation Postgraduate Scholarship program catapulted Carandang onto the international stage. Now it’s up to him to show the world what he is capable of. Nowadays, those goals are so much greater than he could have even imagined as a college kid. His post-graduate studies showed him new dreams, new problems, and new solutions and as a scientist, that’s all he could ask for.

The Ajinomoto Foundation Postgraduate Scholarship is a culturally immersive support program to encourage postgraduate studies in top universities in Japan. This grant supports deserving Filipino students looking to pursue master’s degree in Food Science and Technology, Human Nutrition, Chemistry, and Engineering. The Program is seeking applicants now for the 2026 cycle of awards. Visit https://www.ajinomoto.com.ph/whats-new-archive/2026-ajinomoto-foundation-postgraduate-scholarship-grant/ to know more.
