TCL continues to strengthen its commitment to developing Filipino talent through the second batch of its training program in partnership with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority or TESDA. Building on the success of its first initiative, the program was expanded in 2026 to provide a more comprehensive and immersive learning experience for aspiring technicians. Unlike the previous lecture based format, this year's curriculum combined advanced technical discussions with intensive hands on training in the installation of domestic refrigeration and air conditioning units. According to TCL Brand Manager Joseph Cernitchez, the program reflects the company's mission to equip future professionals with practical skills and industry standard knowledge that will help them succeed in the highly competitive HVAC sector. Through this initiative, TCL aims to transform learners into skilled professionals who can contribute to the growth of the industry and the country's workforce.
The three day training program was held at the TCL TESDA Center located within the TESDA RTC NCR facility and welcomed 25 trainees. Participants underwent a balanced curriculum that covered installation, repair, and maintenance through a combination of classroom lectures and practical exercises. TCL's Product and Service teams also took part in the sessions, sharing valuable industry insights and real world expertise. Students gained hands on experience working with TCL split type air conditioning units and learned how to operate and service TCL's smart technologies, including the TCL Home App and Voice Command features. These specialized lessons prepared trainees to meet the demands of modern connected households while enhancing their technical capabilities.
Beyond technical training, TCL strengthened its enrollment to employment initiative by connecting participants with its internal team and authorized dealers. TCL partner Firstar, led by Pika Lee, supported the program through a learner profiling initiative and participation in a mini job fair conducted on the final day. The training concluded with a formal evaluation and certificate awarding ceremony, recognizing the trainees' newly acquired skills and readiness for the workforce. TESDA RTC NCR Center Administrator Eugene P. Agcaoili praised the partnership as an example of how public and private sectors can work together to create meaningful opportunities for skills development and employment. Through programs like this, TCL continues to invest in the future of Filipino technicians while helping build a stronger and more competitive workforce.

LG Electronics Philippines went all-in for Earth Day 2026 with an employee-powered e-waste drive that collected a massive *1,200 kilograms of e-waste* from March 31 to April 21. The goal? Push for responsible waste management and boost environmental awareness from the inside out.
This wasn’t just a drop-off box situation. LG PH teamed up with an accredited hazardous waste management partner to ensure every TV, phone, gadget, battery, and small appliance collected was disposed of properly. To make it even more hands-on, employee volunteers personally joined the e-waste destruction at LG’s warehouse in Pasig City — proving sustainability starts with everyday action.
The initiative is part of LG’s bigger global green mission. Worldwide, the company recycles waste from all domestic and overseas business sites, maintaining an impressive *recycling rate above 95%*. To date, LG has collected *5.01 million tons of e-waste* and counting. The brand also runs electronic product collection and treatment services in *89 locations across 54 countries*, with Philippine recycling services kicking off in August 2022.
Why does it matter? E-waste like broken TVs, computers, and phones can harm water, air, and soil if dumped improperly. LG’s Earth Day push tackles that head-on while encouraging employees to be active corporate citizens.
“Earth Day is an important reminder that sustainability is built through everyday action,” said Nakhyun Seong, Managing Director of LG Electronics Philippines. “Through this e-waste collection initiative, we are encouraging employee participation in responsible disposal practices while supporting LG’s broader sustainability efforts. At LG, we believe innovation must come with responsibility, and what our employees have shown today is a true reflection of our commitment to a sustainable future.”
For LG, it’s simple: innovation and responsibility go hand in hand.

ASUS has officially introduced the latest additions to its premium laptop lineup in the Philippines, unveiling the 2026 Zenbook DUO and Zenbook S14 alongside the newly revealed Zenbook A16. Designed to meet the evolving needs of modern Filipino users, these AI-powered devices combine cutting-edge performance, long-lasting battery life, and sleek, durable builds. Powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 3 processors—and in the case of the A16, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme—this new generation of Zenbooks emphasizes intelligent computing and seamless productivity.
Leading the launch is the Zenbook DUO UX8407, a dual-screen powerhouse engineered for multitasking. It features ASUS’ signature five-mode versatility, allowing users to switch between Laptop, Dual-Screen, Virtual Keyboard, Desktop, and Sharing modes depending on their workflow. The device sports two 14-inch ASUS Lumina Pro OLED touchscreens with 144Hz refresh rates and up to 1,000 nits brightness, now with a significantly reduced screen gap for a more immersive experience. Encased in a durable Ceraluminum finish, the laptop is lighter and more resilient than traditional metal builds.
Under the hood, the Zenbook DUO is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 3 processor paired with a 50 TOPS NPU, enabling smooth handling of AI-driven tasks and qualifying it as a Copilot+ PC for Windows 11 integration. It is backed by dual batteries that can last up to 32 hours on a single display and 18 hours with both screens active. The device includes 32GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB PCIe 4 SSD storage, along with a full suite of ports such as Thunderbolt 4, USB-A, HDMI 2.1, and an audio jack. It is priced at PHP 179,995.
Following closely is the Zenbook S14 UX5406, ASUS’ slimmest Zenbook yet at just 1.1 cm thin and weighing only 1.2 kg. Built with a premium Ceraluminum lid, this ultrathin laptop combines portability with performance. It features a 14-inch 3K ASUS Lumina OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1,100 nits brightness, delivering vibrant visuals for both work and entertainment.
Like the DUO, the Zenbook S14 runs on an Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 3 processor with a 50 TOPS NPU, making it capable of handling AI workloads efficiently. It also supports Windows 11 Copilot features as a Copilot+ PC. Despite its slim profile, it houses a 77Wh battery that can last up to 27 hours, making it ideal for professionals constantly on the move. It comes with the same memory and storage configuration—32GB RAM and 1TB SSD—and similar connectivity options. The Zenbook S14 is priced at PHP 129,995.
Completing the lineup is the Zenbook A16 UX3607, a larger yet still lightweight option at 1.2 kg. Designed as the successor to the popular Zenbook A14, it features a spacious 16-inch 3K ASUS Lumina OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme processor and equipped with an 80 TOPS NPU, it delivers significantly faster AI performance and overall processing power compared to competitors. With up to 21 hours of battery life, the A16 is built for extended productivity and advanced AI computing in a thin, durable Ceraluminum chassis. This model will be available in the Philippines soon.
ASUS emphasizes that these new Zenbooks are built to redefine what premium AI laptops can offer—balancing performance, portability, and real-world usability. Both the Zenbook DUO and S14 will be available through ASUS stores, bundled with Office 2024 lifetime access, a one-year Microsoft 365 Basic subscription with 100GB cloud storage, a laptop sleeve, and an ASUS service package that includes a two-year international warranty and one-year accidental damage protection.
