Drive the Heat Away: Metro Manila Gets Comfort from Fresh Air with TCL's Cool Truck

"The TCL Cool Truck was our way of meeting Filipinos where they are, right in the middle of this record-breaking heat. We wanted people to experience firsthand how our air conditioning technology delivers real comfort, not just in showrooms, but in everyday spaces. By creating a cool, welcoming environment on wheels, we gave visitors a refreshing escape and a clear sense of how TCL provides practical, energy-efficient relief when it’s needed most. By featuring FreshIN 3.0 in action, especially its offline voice command control, we're offering a real solution to beat the summer heat while reinforcing TCL’s commitment to smart, convenient, and refreshing living.” ~Joseph Cernitchez, TCL Brand Manager

The TCL Cool Truck provides a refreshing escape from the scorching sun, featuring the FreshIN 3.0 for an unparalleled cool and comfortable experience.

Catch the coolest stop at Fort Santiago, Intramuros from May 10-17 and Trinoma Mall on May 18-24.

For many Filipinos, escaping the scorching sun has become a daily task.  Similarly, our daily routines have been disturbed by the effects of excessive heat, and rising electricity prices have become commonplace.  We have little access to public cooling spaces as the Philippines faces one of its hottest summers ever, with highs of over 40°C. Instead, we seek solace in crowded shopping centers and confined spaces.  TCL, the recently crowned Triple Global Top 1 TV Brand and a reputable name in home appliances, recognized this growing issue and responded creatively by launching the first-ever TCL Cool Truck in the Philippines, a mobile cooling experience intended to provide people with immediate comfort.

The purpose of the TCL Cool Truck activation is to demonstrate the capabilities and inventiveness of the recently released FreshIN 3.0.  The Cool Truck converted commonplace settings into much-needed cooling zones for Filipinos on the go by delivering TCL's cutting-edge air conditioning equipment to busy destinations like Trinoma Mall and Intramuros.  The truck became a well-liked spot for relaxation and amusement when visitors witnessed firsthand how TCL's next generation air conditioners provide potent relief from the oppressive heat.  The Cool Truck acts as a mobile showroom, bringing the product closer to customers so they can experience the difference firsthand thanks to TCL's improved cooling technology.

Inside the Cool Lounge

Entering the TCL Cool Truck, which was made to combat the intense summer heat, felt like entering a cool haven.  The interior of the truck was cleverly separated into separate "rooms," each of which displayed TCL's remarkable array of appliances.  The TCL FreshIN 3.0 inverter air conditioners were the first thing guests saw as they walked in, taking center stage and showcasing the unique characteristics that make this model genuinely revolutionary.

Visitors enjoy a productive co-working space with free Wi-Fi while experiencing TCL FreshIN 3.0’s features, including Offline Voice Control, T-AI 37%+ Energy Saving Technology, and QuadruPuri Filters.

Due to the free Wi-Fi available for those working remotely, guests can use the foyer as a co-working space. This makes it a productive setting for all visitors, particularly freelancers and students.  They may also enjoy the convenience of TCL FreshIn 3.0's Offline Voice Control, which enables you to control your air conditioner without a Wi-Fi connection by using basic voice commands like "Hey TCL, lower the temperature." As guests experienced the power of T-AI 37%+ Energy Saving Technology, which enables the FreshIN 3.0 to adjust to changing surroundings, reducing energy use and assisting in lowering electricity bills, the room felt instantaneously cooler.  The QuadruPuri Filters operated quietly in the background to remove bacteria, allergies, and pollutants, and their ultra-quiet 16dB operation guaranteed a peaceful environment free from disturbances.

Inside the Book Nook Area of the TCL Cool Truck, visitors unwind in a cool, refreshing space, perfect for reading, relaxing, or creating content.

Further inside the truck, the Book Nook Area provided a calm area where guests could unwind with a book or produce content for social media while taking in the revitalizing FreshIN 3.0 atmosphere.  With FreshIN Technology bringing in fresh outdoor air to keep the room cool and well-oxygenated, the air was clear and invigorating.  Pet owners were very pleased with the unit's ability to get rid of smells and keep the humidity level adjusted, creating a fresh, natural environment.

Visitors enthusiastically engaged in the Icy Reflex game, which offers a quick reflex game and the opportunity to win special TCL goods, adding an element of interactive enjoyment.  Like TCL FreshIn 3.0, it served as a welcome reminder that being cool can be clever, engaging, and enjoyable.

TCL brings refreshing relief to Filipinos on the go, transforming high-traffic areas into cooling havens with the TCL Cool Truck.

Through the successful delivery of TCL's cutting-edge cooling technology to customers, the TCL Cool Truck project gave them a personal look at the distinctive features of the FreshIN 3.0.  By developing these mobile "cool down zones," TCL successfully illustrated its dedication to offering creative, cost-effective ways to beat the summer heat.  Metro Manila visitors came away knowing that TCL is setting the standard for comfort, ease, and sustainability—offering not just a cool haven but also a more intelligent, healthful, and effective method to keep cool.

Feeling the heat? The TCL Cool Truck is making its coolest stops! Catch it at the historic Fort Santiago, Intramuros from May 10-17, and then head over to Trinoma Mall from May 18-24 for a refreshing experience!

TCL offers a range of smart home appliances, including large QLED TVs, advanced refrigerators, innovative air conditioners, and efficient washing machines.

Home Credit x KServico Two-Wheeler Partnership Launch

“At Home Credit, we understand that motorcycles are more than just a mode of transportation—they're a means to empower Filipinos, especially those engaged in delivery, ride-hailing, and other gig economy opportunities. However, the upfront cost can be a barrier for many. Through this partnership, we're happy to offer fast and easy motorcycle financing, making it more accessible for Filipinos to own their dream motorcycles. With our installment deals, minimal requirements, and quick approval process, we're enabling more Filipinos to experience the thrill of new rides and the new possibilities that come with them.” ~Sheila Paul, Chief Marketing Officer of HCPH

Motorcycle installment plans are now offered in around 180 KServico outlets throughout Metro Manila and Luzon, marking the start of New Rides and New Possibilities.

A motorcycle is more than simply a means of mobility for many Filipinos; it's a chance to enhance their standard of living.  Motorcycles provide a useful and reasonably priced answer to daily transportation needs, whether they are utilized for job, family obligations, or personal freedom.  However, the difficulty in obtaining funding has prevented many people from achieving that objective.

Now, two trusted names are breaking down that barrier.

The largest retailer of motorbikes, three-wheelers, e-bikes, appliances, computers, cell phones, and furniture, KServico, has teamed with Home Credit Philippines (HCPH), the nation's top consumer credit provider.  Through this cooperation, approximately 180 KServico locations in Metro Manila and Luzon will offer quick and simple motorcycle financing, increasing the accessibility and convenience of motorcycle ownership for Filipinos and enabling them to discover New Rides and New Possibilities.

 

With a one-minute approval process and flexible installment plans, Home Credit and KServico are enabling more Filipinos to realize their dream of owning a motorcycle. This allows customers to purchase high-quality, feature-rich motorcycles from leading brands in the nation.

On May 8, a signing ceremony was held at the KServico Cubao branch to formally establish the relationship. Important representatives from Home Credit, KServico, and partner motorcycle manufactures Honda, Kawasaki, Kymco, Suzuki, and Yamaha attended the ceremony, which signaled the start of a partnership to increase motorcycle ownership accessibility and open up new opportunities for Filipinos.

Building on proven success

This collaboration expands on the success of Home Credit's 2024 motorbike financing pilot program with EMCOR Inc., a KServico affiliate.  Strong consumer interest and favorable feedback were received by the pilot, which was implemented in 160 EMCOR stores in the Visayas and Mindanao. With KServico on board, Home Credit is now able to offer quick and simple motorbike financing to a wider market by expanding its program to Metro Manila and Luzon. More Filipinos who see motorcycle ownership as a means of achieving greater mobility, higher earning potential, and an enhanced quality of life are the target audience for the program.

“At KServico, we believe that every hardworking Filipino deserves a reliable motorcycle that offers the freedom and convenience they need. Our partnership with Home Credit helps turn that vision into reality for thousands of our customers across Metro Manila and Luzon. We are grateful to Home Credit for making financing more accessible and for sharing our commitment to empower more Filipinos through practical mobility solutions.” ~Grace Balingit, President of KServico

Ms. Grace Balingit, President, KServico

Fast and easy motorcycle installment deals

For Filipinos, owning a motorcycle is now quick and simple thanks to this cooperation.  KServico now offers a large selection of premium motorcycles from reputable manufacturers, together with convenient payment options made possible by Home Credit.  More Filipinos can now start the process of obtaining their ideal motorcycle with just one legitimate ID and a quick clearance process that takes as little as one minute.

Mr. Mark Sorroza, Department Manager, Sales Honda Philippines, Inc.

Mr. Rexie Macatangay, Regional Manager-South Luzon Yamaha Motor Philippines, Inc.

Mr. Joey Salavarria, Division Head, Sales and Marketing Suzuki Philippines

Ms. Ella Mae Torrecampo, Assistant Manager for Marketing Kawasaki Philippines

Home Credit sales representatives are available at all participating KServico stores to guide customers through every step of the financing process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.

 

To make the journey even easier, customers can visit Shoppingmall.ph to locate the nearest KServico branch, check the availability of motorcycle models, and explore financing options.

Through this collaboration, Home Credit and KServico are opening the road to new opportunities and mobility for more Filipinos, bringing the promise of New Rides and New Possibilities #ParaSaLife.

Christian Bautista Renews Contract With GMA Network, Continues To Shine as a Kapuso

“GMA, you gave me a home, a platform, and the space to keep growing. Hindi niyo lang ako tinulungan as an artist—you remind me of what else I’m capable of. To my NYMA family—thank you for being here, for guiding me, and for pushing me to explore new spaces. Thank you for showing the world the other side of me. The funnier side, the lighter side, the more human side. You’ve helped me connect with a whole new generation. And of course, to my wife, Kat—thank you for being my constant through it all. To our media partners and members of the press—maraming salamat sa inyong walang sawang suporta. Thank you for helping amplify my milestones, for keeping my journey visible and relevant, and for sharing my story with the world. I truly appreciate all the time, effort, and space you’ve given me through the years. o my CFs and everyone who’s supported me from the very beginning, thank you for growing with me.” ~Christian Bautista, Asia's Romantic Balladeer

As a devoted Kapuso, Asia's Romantic Balladeer—award-winning singer, multi-platinum artist, actor, and host—reaffirms his relationship with GMA Network by renewing his contract.

Christian formally signed a contract renewal at Studio 6, GMA Network Center, on May 6, 2025, after more than ten years of steadfast devotion since becoming a member of the Kapuso family in 2013.

Present at the signing were top GMA Network executives: President and CEO Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr., Executive Vice President and CFO Felipe S. Yalong, and Officer-in-Charge for the Entertainment Group and Vice President for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy.

NYMA's Chief Operating Officer and Christian's business partner and wife, Kat Ramnani-Bautista, are both attending the event as part of his management team. Their attendance demonstrated the robust network of support that has contributed to Christian's success.

Several other GMA officers were also present to support the contract signing, including First Vice President and Head of International Operations, Mr. Joseph T. Francia; Vice President for Comedy, Infotainment, Game, and Reality Productions, Ms. Janine Piad-Nacar; Vice President for Musical, Variety, Specials, and Alternative Productions, Ms. Gigi Santiago-Lara; and Consultant for the Entertainment Group, Ms. Darling de Jesus-Bodegon.

“As his business partner and wife, I couldn’t be more proud of the longevity of his career, and he continues to prove that he still has so much more to offer. We’re truly grateful to GMA for giving him the space to grow and the platform to share his artistry. For us at NYMA, it’s both an honor and a privilege to be working alongside a network that has supported him for over a decade. We deeply appreciate the trust and look forward to continuing this meaningful partnership.” ~Kat Bautista, Christian’s Manager, Business Partner, and Wife

Christian has long established himself as one of GMA’s most versatile and beloved artists—from being a firm yet inspiring coach on The Clash to delivering standout performances every Sunday on All-Out Sundays.

Beyond local stages, he continues to expand his pan-Asian presence through music and digital collaborations. Just recently, he was recognized as one of the 100 Most Influential Filipinos in the World by The Outstanding Filipinos in America—an award he will be receiving this October in Las Vegas.

To cap off the event, Christian serenaded the crowd with one of his timeless hits, The Way You Look at Me, as a heartfelt tribute to GMA Network and all attendees.

Congratulations, Kapuso! Congratulations, Christian Bautista!
