The spa lobby welcomes guests with its serene ambiance. 

Discover one of Solaire Resort Quezon City’s hidden gems, the spa at the Health Club.

Luxury comes in many forms. At Solaire Resort Quezon City, it takes shape at the spa at Solaire Resort Quezon City's Health Club. Lavish treatment rooms, highly trained massage therapists, and state-of-the-art wellness facilities come together to offer what many consider the ultimate luxury of all: a well-deserved moment of me-time and relaxation.

Relax and recharge with various massages and treatments at the Health Club's spa. 

Take in the soothing scent of florals and citrus as soon as the doors open. Soft lighting casts gentle shadows across the lobby's refined interiors, inviting guests to slow down and unwind, far removed from the bustle outside.

Guests are warmly welcomed into the transition room for a brief consultation and a warm cup of tea before being ushered to a spacious, wood-paneled treatment room complete with a private lounge, foot bath, and shower room.

Each session begins with the therapist's calming voice, ensuring every detail, from the lighting to the sounds in the room, aligns with the guest's preferences. A gentle inhale of essential oils eases the mind into a calm and steady state, further enhanced by a guided breathing exercise.

Each treatment room is a private sanctuary designed for indulgence and relaxation. 

Melt away stress with warm hands gliding in long, flowing strokes with one of the spa's signature offerings, the Swedish Massage. As tension in the neck, shoulders, and back slowly dissipates, many guests find themselves drifting into a deep, restorative sleep, awakened only by the gentle sound of a bell signaling the end of the massage.

Beyond the treatment itself, relaxation remains the utmost priority. Guests are encouraged to linger a little longer, savor another cup of tea, and ease back into the day at their own pace.

Other massages, body treatments, scrubs, and facials offered by the facility are equally tempting options for a satisfying retreat of the body and mind. Taking the experience a step further, guests also enjoy complimentary access to the wellness facilities, including a sauna, steam room, experiential water massage, tepidarium, and hot and cold plunge pools, maximizing the pleasure of every visit.

• LG kicks off global heritage campaign with the screening of its “Life Asks, LG Answers” film in New York’s Times Square, supported by short-form videos, a dedicated microsite, and customer participation programs across key regions.

• The campaign highlights how LG solves customers’ everyday needs with innovations spanning laundry, refrigeration, core components and robotics.

• A customer participation program launched in Latin America, featuring real-life stories that show how LG innovations have stood the test of time, will expand to select markets in the Middle East.

SEOUL, Oct. 22, 2026 — LG Electronics (LG) has launched a global heritage campaign highlighting its long history of turning customers’ evolving needs into meaningful home appliance innovations. The campaign began with the October 14 screening of its new heritage film, “Life Asks, LG Answers,” in New York’s Times Square and will roll out globally through the film and a series of short-form videos, along with a dedicated microsite, media outreach and customer participation programs across key regions. Together, these activities frame LG’s heritage not as a record of the past, but as a continuing story of customer-inspired innovation proven over time.

The “Life Asks, LG Answers” film traces the story of how LG has responded to customers’ changing needs through innovations inspired by everyday life, rather than simply presenting a timeline of products. 

For example, LG TWINWash™ was developed in response to customers’ desire to wash separate loads at the same time, while LG InstaView™ allows them to see inside the refrigerator without opening the door. To bring its heritage story to audiences worldwide, LG will engage customers across a range of online and offline channels, beginning with the screening of the campaign film at New York’s Times Square, with a further screening planned for London’s Piccadilly Circus.

Complementing the global content rollout are regional customer participation programs that invite customers to share how LG appliances have remained part of their everyday lives over time. In Latin America, the “My Life with LG” campaign invited customers in Mexico, Colombia and Peru to submit photos and personal stories about LG appliances they had owned and used for many years, from products passed down through generations to appliances associated with important family milestones. Selected stories were developed into digital and media content, illustrating the lasting relationships customers have built with LG products.

Following its rollout in Latin America, the “My Life with LG” initiative will be extended to select markets in the Middle East, inviting more customers to share their own stories of using LG appliances over the years. By presenting LG’s perspective alongside real experiences from customers around the world, the new heritage campaign paints a clear picture of a legacy of innovation shaped by life and proven over time.

LG is carrying the same customer-focused approach into its vision for the future home. By combining its expertise in home appliances and core technologies with AI appliances and home robotics, the company will continue developing new answers to customers’ evolving needs.

“Our decades-long commitment to innovation has earned the enduring trust of our customers,” said Baek Seung-tae, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “Building on this powerful legacy, we will continue finding new answers to our customers’ evolving needs and shaping the future of the home.”

● LG Electronics and Apple announced the seven smart home accessories for the Apple Home Collection, including indoor and outdoor cameras, a video doorbell, smart lock, smart thermostat and temperature sensor. 

● The new products are co-developed by LG Electronics and Apple, and work seamlessly with Apple devices. The collaboration goes beyond device compatibility, combining LG’s deep knowledge of product and homes with Apple’s platform expertise to deliver a more intuitive and integrated smart home experience.

● These products work together seamlessly to help users with their daily routines, including monitoring and protecting their homes while away.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2026 — LG Electronics (LG) today announced a range of smart home accessories co-developed with Apple for the Apple Home Collection, including indoor and outdoor cameras, and a video doorbell, smart lock, smart thermostat, and temperature sensor. The new products are designed to make the everyday home experience simpler, more reliable, and seamlessly connected and private in Apple Home.

These smart home accessories represent LG’s commitment to creating connected and adaptive experiences. They also advance the company’s ambition to simplify everyday living by reducing the need for manual intervention and enabling more intuitive interactions between customers and their environments.

“Creating a truly connected home requires products that work seamlessly together,” said Kihyun Jung, head of the Platform Business Center at the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “By bringing LG's expertise in home appliances and the home environment together with the Apple Home, we are creating intuitive, integrated experiences that fit naturally into customers' daily lives.”

“Apple has always focused on making products and experiences that are seamless and intuitive, and protect our users’ privacy — and that matters more than ever in the home,” said Matthew Costello, Apple's vice president of Hardware Engineering. “Combining our hardware and software expertise with LG's deep understanding of the home and connected living lets us build smart home experiences that are simpler to set up, are easier to control, and work effortlessly.”

Moving beyond just device compatibility, Apple and LG developed these new products together from the early product planning stage, collaborating on hardware, software, and user experiences.

Each product is designed with a consistent user experience in mind to streamline setup and control. Rather than simply linking individual products through a platform, the accessories are designed to work together. Using the Home app or Siri to control a single “Good Morning” scene can simultaneously adjust the thermostat and tilt an indoor camera down while a user is getting ready.1 And each accessory is encrypted end-to-end in Apple Home, so only users and the people they choose can access their home data. 

Starting in December, with select accessories coming early next year, LG and Apple are launching the full lineup in the United States and Canada, including indoor and outdoor cameras, a video doorbell, a smart lock, a thermostat, and a temperature sensor with support for Apple Home and LG ThinQ apps.1 In the United Kingdom, indoor and outdoor cameras and a video doorbell will be available starting December.2

LG’s new indoor and outdoor cameras deliver clear imaging, intelligent detection and privacy-focused controls to help users monitor what matters around their homes. With up to 2.5K video resolution, low-light color night vision, and wide-angle coverage, the cameras provide clear views during the day and at night. Using intelligence, each camera recognizes people, pets, vehicles and motion, helping deliver more relevant alerts and reducing unnecessary notifications. Users can also block selected areas from view and recording, while built-in local storage provides greater control over how recorded footage is stored and reviewed.

 LG Indoor Cam Plug-In: A wide 160° field of view captures more of the room in a single frame, while a privacy tilt mechanism and physical controls provide a visible and intuitive way to control monitoring when it is not needed.

 LG Outdoor Cam Plug-In: The camera provides reliable outdoor monitoring with low light color night vision, and 2.5K resolution, helping users maintain a clear view around the home day and night. 

 LG Floodlight Cam: The camera adds dual adaptive floodlights that automatically illuminate the surrounding area when activity is detected, combining outdoor monitoring and lighting in one integrated home security solution.

LG Video Doorbell Wired brings clear visibility, more relevant alerts and everyday convenience to the front door. Its dual-camera system combines a 2.5K front camera and a Full HD bottom camera, capturing separate views of visitors, packages and key areas around the entryway for broader coverage. It can also identify people, vehicles, pets and packages and play a helpful chime through Apple HomeView, HomePod or HomePod mini. Low-light color night vision and two-way talk also help users see and respond to activity at their door.

LG Smart Deadbolt Lock combines smart access, minimal design and everyday convenience, led by hands-free unlocking with home key on a compatible iPhone or Apple Watch and advanced Ultra-Wideband technology. The lock recognizes an authorized user’s location and movement to support reliable hands-free entry. NFC tap, PIN code and a physical key provide additional ways to unlock the door, while built-in door sensing and real-time app notifications help users monitor door status and security events.

LG Smart Thermostat combines energy efficiency, intuitive design to make home comfort more adaptive and efficient. Adaptive Temperature from Apple can adjust heating and cooling based on headed home, away from home, or sleeping.

When paired with optional LG Temperature Sensor devices placed in other rooms, the system can monitor temperature and humidity across multiple spaces to support more consistent comfort throughout the home. Advanced sensing algorithms are designed to reduce measurement errors and detect indoor temperature changes in real time, while Matter over Thread enables low-power, responsive connectivity with fewer connection delays and offline disruptions.

In the U.S., Clean Energy Guidance from Apple can help optimize energy use based on grid carbon intensity. Through supported utility-provider integrations, LG Smart Thermostat can also shift operation toward lower-cost periods.

Privacy is foundational to Apple Home. Camera footage and personal data in the Home app is stored end-to-end encrypted and never accessible to LG or Apple.

For Catis, the collaboration is also a personal milestone, bringing him together with a brand he has loved since childhood.

The TECNO CAMON Slim 5G is priced at ₱27,999 in the Philippines for the 256GB ROM + 24GB RAM configuration, combining 8GB physical RAM with up to 16GB extended RAM.

Pre-orders are open nationwide from October 2 to October 15, with official sales beginning October 16. Customers can pre-order through participating TECNO stores nationwide. The pre-order period includes Burgundy Red, Matisse Black and Rebel Pink. Gossamer White, featuring an advanced 3D butterfly-inspired back design, will become available toward the end of October and is not included in the pre-order offer. The four colorways are part of CAMON Slim 5G’s emphasis on design and personal expression. 

One of the biggest highlights of the CAMON Slim 5G pre-order offer is the free TECNO MagBadge, TECNO’s smart magnetic accessory designed to make photography and everyday interaction more personal.

The MagBadge features a 1.73-inch display, supports rear-camera preview, wireless media sync and remote shutter control, giving users another way to take advantage of CAMON Slim 5G’s imaging capabilities.

For selfies and group shots, for example, users can preview the rear camera through the MagBadge and trigger the shutter remotely, helping make it easier to frame photos while using the phone’s main camera.

The TECNO MagBadge has an SRP of ₱5,999 when purchased separately, making it one of the most valuable additions to the CAMON Slim 5G pre-order package.

In addition to the free MagBadge, eligible CAMON Slim 5G pre-orders come with a package of premium benefits worth ₱10,000, including:

• Free TECNO MagBadge — Style Meets Smarter

• 60-Day Free Replacement — Start Every Day with Confidence

• 13-Month Extended Warranty — Support That Stays With You

• 3-Year 256GB Cloud Storage — Save the Memories That Matter

• 3-Month Google One AI Plus 2TB Free Trial — Work Smarter, Make Every Day Lighter

Together, these benefits are designed to extend the CAMON Slim 5G experience beyond the device itself, from photography and personalization to storage and after-sales support.

Customers who pre-order the CAMON Slim 5G can also receive a special cash discount of up to ₱3,000, depending on when they claim their device.

    Claim Date / Special Cash Discount

October 16–17 /  ₱3,000

October 18 /  ₱2,500

October 19–23 /  ₱2,000

The earlier customers claim their pre-ordered CAMON Slim 5G, the bigger the available special cash discount. Applicable promotional terms and redemption mechanics apply.

Beyond the pre-order offers, CAMON Slim 5G is built around two things people experience every day: carrying their phone and capturing the moment.

At only 6.39mm thin, CAMON Slim 5G is designed to feel noticeably slimmer and easier to carry throughout a busy day, while still fitting a 6000mAh battery inside its lightweight form. 

Photography is equally central to the CAMON Slim 5G experience. Its 50MP Sony LYTIA™ 700C Ultra-Night Main Camera provides a strong imaging foundation, while Super-Zoom FlashSnap is designed for moments that happen quickly and may not wait for the camera. Supporting up to 2x telephoto snap shooting, FlashSnap uses AI-assisted capture to help freeze spontaneous movement — from a child performing or a pet jumping, to sports, concerts or friends laughing together. 

CAMON Slim 5G also puts greater emphasis on design than a conventional specification-led smartphone.

Its hero Burgundy Red colorway combines fiberglass and a matte texture, balancing deep red and brown tones with a velvet-like finish that gives the device a warmer, more refined character. Together with the ultra-slim body, the finish makes CAMON Slim 5G feel less like a conventional piece of consumer electronics and more like something designed to fit naturally into personal style.

Other options include Matisse Black and Rebel Pink, followed by Gossamer White later in October.

Customers who participate in the CAMON Slim 5G pre-order campaign will also have the opportunity to win from a total ₱2 million cash prize pool.

The campaign offers 101 winning chances:

• 1 Grand Prize winner — ₱1,000,000

• 100 winners — ₱10,000 each

Each valid CAMON Slim 5G pre-order during the promotional period qualifies for an entry, subject to the official campaign mechanics.

While the free MagBadge gives every eligible pre-order customer an immediate added benefit, the cash prize campaign gives buyers another chance to make something bigger in life a little lighter.

TECNO is also working with a wide range of official financing partners in the Philippines to make CAMON Slim 5G more accessible.

Participating partners include Home Credit, Skyro, Salmon, PayJoy, BillEase and Kredivo, as well as participating credit card installment providers.

Depending on the partner and applicable promotion, customers can enjoy installment plans of up to 24 months, together with benefits such as up to ₱1,000 discount or cashback.

Selected fintech partners may also offer special raffle promotions, giving eligible customers a chance to have loan balances of up to ₱84,000 waived.

Terms, eligibility, installment periods and promotional mechanics may vary by partner.

TECNO has also partnered with Globe for the CAMON Slim 5G launch. Eligible customers who purchase CAMON Slim 5G can receive a free Globe Prepaid SIM with one year of unlimited 5G data, giving users an additional connectivity benefit as they experience the new 5G smartphone.

Pre-Order CAMON Slim 5G Until October 15

Pre-order now to get a free TECNO MagBadge worth ₱5,999, premium benefits, special cash discounts, and a chance to win ₱1 million.

After five years as Watsons’ #1 K-Beauty brand nationwide, Deoproce marks a decade in the Philippines with two new lines designed to take your skincare routine to the next level. 

MANILA, PHILIPPINES — September 2026 — Korean skincare brand DEOPROCE is celebrating a decade in the Philippines, and looking firmly ahead. The brand marks the milestone with a renewed spotlight on the DEOPROCE Vita C Toning Care Line and the DEOPROCE Blue Feather Tone-Up Sunscreen, together with global brand ambassador Park Jinyoung and special October promos. 

Whether you’re in the final stretch of your finals, hustling through a corporate job in the metro, getting ready for your yearly holiday, or navigating life with a growing family, your skincare routine has to keep up with you. And for DEOPROCE, that everyday rhythm has shaped its mission: to provide skincare that fits seamlessly into the realities of Filipino life. 

This year, DEOPROCE marks a decade of Korean skincare in the Philippines, with a renewed focus on the Vita C Toning Care Line and Blue Feather Tone-Up Sunscreen. 

A decade is a long time in beauty, and the way Filipinos find and use skincare has changed along the way. Routines are now discovered through TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and beauty creators. Ingredient lists are read before anything goes into the cart. And Korean skincare has become part of the same cultural conversation as K-pop playlists, K-drama watchlists and the latest looks coming out of Seoul. 

For DEOPROCE, the milestone is less about looking back than about what comes next. The anniversary year also brought a new face to the brand:Korean actor Park Jinyoung, known for his roles in hit dramas such as He Is Psychometric, The Witch, and Yumi’s Cells, and a former member of K-pop boy group GOT7, has been introduced as DEOPROCE’s Global Brand Ambassador as the beauty brand celebrates a decade in the Philippines. His arrival sets the tone for a year focused on the DEOPROCE Vita C Toning Care Line and the DEOPROCE Blue Feather Tone-Up Sunscreen. The two products reflect two needs the modern routine keeps returning to: care that helps tired-looking skin look refreshed and hydrated, and protection that holds up through a full day of Philippine sun, humidity and screen time. 

The DEOPROCE Vita C Toning Care Line is a five-step routine for dull, tired-looking skin—the kind that comes with late deadlines, travel, and long days. It’s fitting that these are among Jinyoung’s picks, too; with a schedule that keeps him constantly on the move, a simple, streamlined routine designed to bring tired-looking skin back to life makes perfect sense. 

It brightens and hydrates using four complementary forms of Vitamin C: Ascorbic Acid, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Ascorbyl Glucoside. According to DEOPROCE, these deliver both immediate and longer-lasting brightening, support formula stability and provide antioxidant protection. They also treat dullness, uneven tone and dark spots more gently than a single form of Vitamin C. The line also has 10 types of multivitamins to nourish, 11 types of Hyaluronic Acid for multi-layer hydration, and Sea Buckthorn Extract to soothe. The routine includes the Capsule Foam (₱690), Brightening Pad (₱990), Essence Toner (₱790), Ampoule Serum (₱1,490) and Cream Moisturizer (₱1,490). 

By day, the DEOPROCE Blue Feather Tone-Up Sunscreen (₱990, 40ml) completes the routine. It's a feather-light SPF50+ PA++++ sunscreen that protects against UV and against blue light from screens, overhead lighting and daylight. That makes it a fit for morning commutes, laptop-heavy workdays and Philippine humidity. Azulene soothes sensitized skin, Ceramide supports the skin barrier, Hyaluronic Acid hydrates without greasiness and Anti-Sebum P keeps shine in check. It leaves a translucent, blue-toned finish that gives skin a subtle tone-up without a white cast. In clinical evaluations reported by DEOPROCE, it showed up to 96.9% improvement in skin soothing, 41.2% in skin texture, 200% in skin hydration and 37% in skin barrier and moisture loss. Individual results may vary. 

Together, the two products make up **Jinyoung’s Picks**, a special pairing fronted by DEOPROCE’s global brand ambassador, Park Jinyoung, as the brand celebrates its 10th anniversary in the Philippines. Jinyoung has also been the face of DEOPROCE’s Vita C Toning Care campaign since July 2026. For Filipino fans who discovered K-beauty through K-pop and K-dramas, his involvement brings DEOPROCE’s Korean skincare heritage even closer to the culture they already love.

TORIKIZOKU will open its first Philippine restaurant at Serendra, BGC on October 12, 2026, bringing its Japanese Yakitori experience to Filipino diners for the first time.

The brand’s story began in Osaka in 1985. Since then, TORIKIZOKU has grown to more than 600 stores across Japan and continues to expand internationally as part of its Global YAKITORI Family.

At the center of that journey is the brand’s Yakitori-ya experience, built around freshly grilled chicken skewers, carefully selected ingredients, welcoming service, and a lively yet comfortable setting where people can gather over food and conversation.

Now, that experience arrives in BGC.

Ahead of the opening, TORIKIZOKU has already begun introducing itself around Serendra through Torikki, its official yellow mascot. The installations feature different poses inspired by both the Philippines and Japan and are designed to be seen during the day as well as illuminated at night. But there is more to the installations than simply catching attention. 

Each Torikki also carries a QR code that guests can scan to visit the TORIKIZOKU Philippines website, receive updates, and make a reservation. The signages mark the beginning of the countdown to the brand’s Philippine opening.

The Philippine launch also brings with it “Toriki Tayo,” a local invitation to turn everyday moments into opportunities to come together.

For a brand whose dining experience is built around freshly grilled food and conversation, the move from Osaka to BGC brings TORIKIZOKU into a new setting while keeping the experience that defines it at the center.

On October 12, Filipino diners can experience TORIKIZOKU’s authentic Yakitori-ya experience for themselves at its first Philippine branch in Serendra, BGC.

Be among the first to experience TORIKIZOKU’s authentic Yakitori-ya experience at Serendra.
