Styler: Complete clothing care, the LG way
Coming into the second year of the pandemic, cleanliness and safety are still the number one priority for families.
Even as vaccinations are slowly rolled out, nothing beats preparedness in keeping sickness at bay. Worldwide innovators, such as LG, have been hard at work to provide tools to help in the new normal. Its newest product, the LG Styler, is designed to keep clothes fresh and clean without needing to launder it excessively.
In a recent online event, LG introduced the Styler to the local market. Hosted by LG Brand Ambassador Stephanie Zubiri, the event showcased the different uses the LG Styler has for individuals from all walks of life. LG envisions the Styler as the future of wardrobe management, especially with the Philippines’ unpredictable weather. Normal clothes are easy to wash, but some, such as outerwear like jackets, or dresses with fragile fabric, are a different story. This is where the LG Styler comes in.
With the Styler, all you need to do is put your clothes inside and it’s good as new in minutes – no fuss and definitely, no damage. You can also do this to shake off wrinkles and odors. You can take care of suits, dresses, sweaters and more with the touch of a button, so you and your clothes will always look at your best. Shake off odors, leaving your clothes fresh and clean. You don’t have to worry about special fabrics. The LG Styler prevents shrinkage and damage courtesy of its Heat-Pump Technology. Gently dry clothes that require special care without worrying about shrinkage or damage. No more dampness or accidental damage – only fresh, clean clothes as they were meant to be.
During the event, event host Stephanie, who’s a mom and a journalist, shared how she loves using Styler to sanitize her kid’s stuffed animal toys. She interviewed Victor Basa and Dra. Vicki Belo who both shared their unique perspective on how the Styler helps them at home and at work. Victor, actor and fashion blogger, appreciates great clothing and the transformative power they possess.

“I have these prized menswear pieces that really make you feel good wearing, a custom suit, Italian bespoke trousers, heirloom barong, and they all deserve the proper care and longevity. The LG Styler is definitely a game changer. I often have to bring out my seldom used clothes like my barong out of the closet for my hosting gigs and so I don’t need to get out for dry cleaning! It’s like having your own valet or gentleman’s gentleman at home, specifically responsible for my clothes. It also looks great in my interior because of the reflective mirror finish and sleek design.”
While Dra. Vicki Belo, founder and medical director of Belo Medical Group, the pioneer and number one medical aesthetic clinic in the country, was elated with her new home dream machine and all it’s amazing features. “I’m obsessed! Thanks to LG Philippines for bringing it here. I saw it in Milan around 3 years ago. The first thing I loved about it is the ease of use! I’m not that techie so this one I can easily operate after unboxing. I also like the fact that you can practically use it every day. We wear PPEs as doctors in Belo clinics so as soon as I remove it, pasok agad in the Styler. It feels as if I have a whole new wardrobe in my walk-in closet because I have a lot of delicate items that I wouldn’t wear as often, like the couture dresses, so now I can freshen them all up. Also, lahat na we wanna put inside the LG Styler, and not just the clothing, even the stuffed toys of Scarlett.” The one-of-a-kind appliance can effectively prolong the life of not only clothes but a whole variety of household items.
At the core of Styler is the patented LG TrueSteam™ technology, which eliminates over 99.9 percent of the germs and bacteria found in clothing and toys and is approved as asthma and allergy friendly® by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). Clothes placed on the moving hangers shake out wrinkles and unpleasant odors while the Gentle Dry cycle removes moisture quickly and thoroughly. Heat Pump Drying reduces energy consumption by recycling heat from the hot, moist air inside Styler, and Pants Crease Care creates a crisp crease-line without an iron.
In addition, style icon and fashion+travel blogger Laureen Uy with 1M followers on Instagram posted about how amazing is her new LG Styler. Representing a new way to care for her designer clothes and other accessories, the Styler boasts many practical uses and thoughtful features including a mirror-like finish that fits her snazzy space and chic personality.
Aside from being functional, it’s sleek, stylish, and blends well with any interior. Whether you’re living by yourself or with a family, the LG Styler is a key piece in anyone’s wardrobe. With it, you can refresh clothes in the comfort of your home. From unpleasant smells, harmful pollutants, dripping wet, wrinkles, seasonal clothes and even difficult to clean items – effortlessly remove them quickly and effectively at your home.
LG also remains committed in providing smart solutions for its appliances. The Styler can be controlled using your smartphone. ThinQ™ app lets you operate or monitor precious garments from anywhere, anytime. You can use Cycle Download to add newly developed care cycles.
Knowing the need to efficiently eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses in the community, LG recently donated Styler and Wearable Air Purifiers and more than 2000 hygiene kits to the local government of Pasig City through Mayor Vico Sotto. LG has always been a long and ardent supporter of the LGU where the LGEPH headquarters is located. Over the past months, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, LG also donated washing machines, refrigerators and digital signage displays to help out city frontliners and its constituents.
Seungjae Kim, LG Philippines’ Managing Director, shares his piece on how the LG Styler can benefit Filipino families and the community. “The LG Styler provides a fast and easy way of disinfecting your clothes, which is crucial in the time of COVID. It helps keep you and your family safe. It is also a perfect addition to any household, whether you’re living alone or with a family. We also believe that the CSR initiatives we have done, including the recent Styler donation will make a difference in helping out Pasig City’s civil servants.”

4 smartphone problems you won’t have to worry about with OPPO A6s 5G
3:11 p.m. June 25, 2026
A smartphone can be one of the most useful tools in your daily routine, but it can also be a source of frustration when it falls short at the wrong moment. Running low on battery before the day is over, dealing with lag during a casual gaming session, worrying about rain damaging your device, or spending extra time editing photos are challenges many users know all too well.
The OPPO A6s 5G takes aim at these everyday pain points with features designed around how people actually use their smartphones. From staying powered throughout busy days to delivering smoother performance and smarter photo enhancements, here’s how the OPPO A6s 5G handles them with ease.
- Phones That Can’t Handle Everyday Mishaps
A smartphone can face plenty of hazards throughout the day. From getting caught in an unexpected downpour during your commute, to using your device with wet hands after a workout, accidents can happen when you least expect them. For users who spend time outdoors, dust and unpredictable weather can add another layer of concern.
The OPPO A6s 5G features IP69 Water and Dust Resistance, designed to help safeguard your device against the elements. Combined with Splash Touch and Glove Touch, you can stay connected and in control even with wet hands or while wearing gloves. Wherever the day takes you, the OPPO A6s 5G delivers durability you can count on.
- Battery Life That Doesn’t Last
Running out of battery before the day ends remains one of the most common frustrations among smartphone users. A typical day filled with work, school, entertainment, and social media can put a constant strain on battery life, making frequent charging part of the routine. As devices age, that challenge often becomes even more noticeable as battery performance gradually declines.
From attending online classes and managing work tasks, to scrolling through social media and catching up with friends over mobile games, the OPPO A6s 5G is equipped with a massive 7000mAh Large Battery designed to keep pace with busy days. Beyond impressive capacity, the battery is engineered for long-term durability, offering up to 5 Years Durable Battery performance to help maintain reliable power over time. Paired with 60-Month Fluency Protection, the OPPO A6s 5G is built to deliver a smooth and consistent experience year after year, making it a dependable companion designed with longevity in mind.
- Slowdowns That Disrupt Entertainment
A great smartphone experience goes beyond performance, it should look smooth, sound immersive, and stay responsive when it matters most. The OPPO A6s 5G delivers on all fronts with a 120Hz Ultra Bright Display that provides fluid visuals and enhanced visibility even under bright outdoor conditions. Complementing the display are Dual Stereo Speakers, creating a fuller and more immersive audio experience for everyday content.
For users who demand sustained performance, the SuperCool VC System helps manage heat efficiently, while AI GameBoost 2.0 optimizes system resources to support smoother, more responsive gameplay during extended sessions. Together, these features help ensure a consistently enjoyable experience whether you’re watching, browsing, or gaming.
- Photos That Need Too Much Fixing
Advanced photo editing is no longer limited to professional software. With the OPPO A6s 5G, a range of intelligent imaging tools makes it easier to enhance photos directly on your smartphone. It includes AI Eraser 2.0 for removing unwanted elements, AI Unblur for improving image sharpness, and AI Clarity Enhancer for bringing out greater detail. Complementing these are creative tools such as AI Perfect Shot, AI Recompose, and AI Studio, which provide additional flexibility for refining and reimagining photos. Together, they help users achieve polished results quickly and intuitively.
Finding Your Everyday Companion
The OPPO A6 is ideal for users looking for dependable performance and generous storage. It comes in Sakura Pink, Sapphire Blue, and Aurora Gold, and is available in 4GB + 256GB for Php 17,999 and 8GB + 256GB for Php 20,999.

One charge, endless power: realme teases C100 Series with up to 8000mAh Titan Battery
11:22 a.m. June 8, 2026
realme Philippines is gearing up for the launch of the realme C100 Series on June 18, and ahead of the big reveal, the brand is giving a first look at what the lineup is all about.
Anchored on the tagline “One Charge, Endless Power,” the C100 Series is built around two things Filipinos consistently look for in a smartphone: a battery that goes the distance and a build that holds up over time.
The realme C100 comes equipped with an 8000mAh Titan Battery, while the realme C100i carries a 7000mAh cell. Both are designed to deliver up to 1.5 days of use on a single charge, but what stands out is their long-term battery health – the realme C100 is rated to retain at least 80% capacity after 7 years of daily use, and the C100i after 6 years. The brand attributes this to its highly efficient energy consumption technology, which reduces battery wear over time without compromising on performance.
On the durability front, both models come with realme’s ArmorShell™ Protection and have been certified under the MIL-STD-810H military-grade shock resistance standard, with a verified drop resistance of up to 2 meters. The realme C100 takes protection further with IP69 Pro rating, making it resistant to dust, submersion, and even high-pressure water jets. The realme C100i is rated IP64, covering everyday splashes and dust exposure.
The Series also comes in a range of colorways. The realme C100 will be available in Glory White, Endurance Brown, and Victory Purple, all featuring realme’s Blooming Design, a shimmer finish crafted with micron-level sculpting that shifts with light. Meanwhile, the realme C100i comes in Dawn Purple and Dusk Gray.
The realme C100 Series will be officially unveiled on June 18 via a livestream on realme’s official Facebook page. Pricing and full details will be announced on launch day.
