Thursday, July 31, 2025

Huawei Pura 80 Series

HUAWEI ushers in the dawn of a new era of smartphone photography excellence as it introduces groundbreaking mobile imaging technology and the industry’s first Switchable Dual Telephoto Camera on the new HUAWEI Pura 80 Series.

As the latest evolution of the HUAWEI Pura Series, the newest smartphone lineup embodies the series’ signature fusion of mobile photography and aesthetic design. It continues to set a bold, new standard in pioneering photography, fashion design and unique style.

HUAWEI Pura Series: A Legacy of Style and Substance

The HUAWEI Pura Series, earlier known as the HUAWEI P Series, has long stood at the forefront of innovative photography technology and artistic expression. Debuted in 2012, HUAWEI developed to challenge the conventions with a focus on slim silhouettes and camera innovation.


The series quickly evolved into a symbol of mobile photography innovation with landmark features such as the HUAWEI P9’s mono-color dual-lens technology, the HUAWEI P20’s revolutionary Super Night Mode, the HUAWEI P30’s pioneering Periscope Tele Lens, the HUAWEI P40’s unmatched 100x SuperZoom Array, the HUAWEI P50’s 10-Channel Multi-Spectrum Sensor, and the HUAWEI P60’s Ultra Lighting Macro Telephoto Camera. Each generation reaffirms the series’ position as a leading figure in the evolution of mobile photography, setting new benchmarks and propelling the future of imaging innovation.

The HUAWEI P Series has also led industry’s design trends. It emerged as the industry's thinnest smartphone, which utilized the industry's first metal diamond-cut design and innovative twilight colour design, and was the first to adopt the nano-tech ceramic design as well as its unique Rococo Pearl colour. The series continues to refresh new heights of technological aesthetics.


In 2024, HUAWEI announced the renaming of the P Series to “HUAWEI Pura Series,” which marked a new era of elevated design and intelligent imaging. The HUAWEI Pura 70 Series became the first lineup to launch under the new name, debuting with the elegant Forward Symbol Design, Ultra Lighting Pop-out Camera powered by XMAGE, and the groundbreaking Ultra Speed Snapshot.

The HUAWEI Pura Series legacy as a pioneer of mobile photography innovation advances with the HUAWEI Pura 80 Series. The latest evolution of the series seamlessly fuses industry-leading mobile imaging with the sleek “Fashion Next” aesthetic that defines the HUAWEI Pura Series. It takes the experience of capturing moving images to new heights, transforming every frame into a statement of artistry and innovation.

Dual Lenses, Boundless Vision


The HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra breaks new ground for mobile imaging technology with the debut of the industry’s first Switchable Dual Telephoto Camera, which comes with a built-in symmetrical shading mechanism — a first in smartphone imaging. The HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra also fuses a 3.7x Mid-telephoto lens and a 9.4x Ultra-telephoto lens into one unit, supported by a 1/1.28-inch Ultra Large Sensor. This powers the industry’s largest telephoto light intake and results in cinematic portraits and dramatic close-ups with remarkable depth and razor-sharp precision.

Meticulously designed, the switchable dual-lens system operates with seamless precision, effortlessly transitioning between focal lengths through micron-level motor control. Housing over 140 finely tuned components, the mechanism ensures fluid, reliable movement within a remarkably compact structure. This achieves a 129% increase in light path compared to conventional telephoto modules.

Meanwhile, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro introduces a powerful Ultra Lighting Macro Telephoto Camera that redefines the possibilities of close-range mobile photography. With a Super Close Focus of up to 5cm, this lets users explore intricate textures and tiny subjects with extraordinary clarity. Its large F2.1 aperture dramatically enhances light intake, capturing 40% more light for vivid detail even in challenging low-light conditions. Whether it’s the sparkle of city lights in the distance or the fine textures of a subject up close, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro brings every scene to life with unmatched sharpness and depth.

Mastering Light and Shadow in Every Pixel


HUAWEI continues to redefine mobile photography with the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra, introducing a suite of breakthrough technologies that push imaging to unprecedented heights. The HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra is fitted with the industry-leading 1-inch Ultra Lighting HDR Camera, equipped with a sensor that boasts a full-well electron capacity of 400,000 e⁻ per pixel, which makes it up to 7x greater than its predecessor. This exceptional photon-capturing ability allows the camera to preserve every nuance of light and shadow, freezing fast motion and extreme lighting transitions with remarkable precision.

With HUAWEI’s real-time TCG-HDR technology, which simultaneously processes three high-capacity signals across different light zones, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra achieves the industry's highest 16EV, 15x greater than before. From harsh daylight to low-light cityscapes, the device ensures impeccable exposure, vivid detail, and rich tonal accuracy in every shot, cementing HUAWEI’s leadership in smartphone imaging innovation.

Paired with the AI Cinematic Engine, the 1-inch Ultra Lighting HDR Camera delivers breathtaking video with natural contrast and lifelike color reproduction. Even in scenes with extreme lighting disparities, overexposed highlights are recovered and deep shadows retain rich detail to deliver footage that mirrors the nuances of the human eye. This gives a true “what you see is what you get” performance. This integration of advanced optics and intelligent processing sets a new benchmark for smartphone cinematography.

Meanwhile, HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro features a 1-inch Ultra Lighting Camera, achieving the industry's largest main camera light intake. Combined with the Ultra Chroma Camera for accurate night scene colour reproduction, it delivers ultra-clear and brilliant nightscapes even in low-light environments, precisely restoring night scene colors and atmosphere.

Iconic, Brilliant Design with Uncompromising Durability

In true HUAWEI Pura Series fashion, the the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra and HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro embody sophistication with a refined, dazzling Forward Symbol design, inspired by the timeless sunray motifs found in exquisite jewelry and luxury timepieces. The HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra, which comes in Prestige Gold and Golden Black, has a golden ring that encircles the camera and forms the iconic forward brand emblem and serves as a bold, visual centerpiece.

The HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro, available in Glazed Red, Glazed White, and Glazed Black, pairs sculpted curves with elegant hues inspired by monochrome glaze, perfectly accented by the glazed texture design. Its innovative design language unifies form and meaning, seamlessly combining the glaze texture of a timeless monochrome glaze with innovative craftsmanship to capture the pure aesthetics of “Grace of Glaze.”

Both devices combine aesthetic finesse with advanced durability. The HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra is reinforced with the 2nd Gen Crystal Armor Kunlun Glass for up to 16x greater scratch resistance and up to 25x enhanced drop resistance. On the other hand, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro is made with 2nd Gen KUNLUN Glass, which offers up to 20x improved drop resistance. With IP69 and IP68 dust and water resistance, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra and HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro blend elegant design and tough resilience to perfection.

Small Body, Big Dream: Liit, a Special Dog on Wheels, Steals Hearts at EastWest Dream Run Manila


At the final leg of the EastWest Dream Run 2025, more than 6,000 runners took to the streets of Filinvest City in Alabang to chase fitness goals and personal records. But one of the most unforgettable stories was about heart. And it came on four wheels.

Meet Liit, a French Bulldog with a huge spirit. Her name literally means “small,” but there’s nothing little about the courage she brought to the sold-out 1K Dog Category at the Dream Run’s Manila leg. Rolling beside her proud fur parent who is an EastWestbanker, Liit showed the world that dreams come in all sizes.

Liit is a PWD or Pet With Disability who lost the use of her hind legs and now moves with the help of a custom wheelchair. But what she may lack in mobility, she makes up for in joy, energy, and inspiration. With her wheels spinning and tail wagging, Liit surely lit up the route.

“Liit may be small, but her dreams are anything but,” said her owner, who has four other Frenchies. “Liit holds a special place in my heart. Just because she’s a PWD dog doesn’t mean she can’t enjoy the things other dogs do, like running freely and being part of something fun. Joining the EastWest Dream Run is our way of celebrating her fighting spirit and reminding everyone that you’re never too small or too different to chase after what you want.”

Cheered on by fellow runners and spectators alike, Liit became an instant crowd favorite, embodying the spirit of the EastWest Dream Run in its purest form. Her presence on the track reminded everyone that this event goes beyond medals and milestones. It’s about showing up, pushing forward, and doing it with love.

Held in celebration of EastWest’s 30th anniversary and the Filinvest Group’s 70th year, the Dream Run brought together people and pets from across the country to celebrate health, hope, and connection. With race categories for all ages and experience levels, including kids and dogs, the event became a vibrant display of inclusivity and shared spirit.

From the 30KM Dream Challenge to the 1K Dog Run, each category brought its own stories of strength. But few left as lasting a mark as Liit’s. Liit may not have reached the finish line, but on her tiny wheels, she reminded everyone that courage isn’t about crossing first—or at all. It’s about showing up, moving forward, and daring to try. That day, she rolled with something greater than strength. She owned the moment.

Clara Benin Celebrates Her Early Work with a Two-Night Concert at the Manila Metropolitan Theater (MET)

Clara Benin Concert at the MET

The upcoming major show marks the tenth-year anniversary of her debut album, Human Eyes and her EP, Riverchild

Following the sold-out success of her 2023 concert at the Music Museum, Clara Benin returns to the big stage with a heartfelt celebration of the records that shaped her artistic journey.

Born On A Rainy Night: Celebrating 10 Years of Human Eyes and Riverchild is a two-night concert happening on October 3 and 4, 2025, at the Manila Metropolitan Theater. Presented by minsan studio, the special show reimagines Clara’s early work with a 30-piece orchestra, under the musical direction and arrangement of Ria Villena-Osorio.

Drawing from her 2015 debut album Human Eyes and EP Riverchild, the performance offers a fresh, cinematic take on the music that helped define Clara’s voice in the Philippine indie music scene.

“Human Eyes and Riverchild both came out in 2015, which was ten years ago now, and that honestly feels surreal to say out loud,” Clara shares. “To celebrate, I’m working on a special concert with minsan studio where I’ll be performing songs from those records, but reimagined with an orchestra. It’s something I’ve always dreamed of doing, and getting to do it for this show makes it even more meaningful.”

The concert is envisioned as both cinematic and intimate, a moment to reflect on where the songs began, and how they’ve grown through the years.

“It’s not necessarily leading into a new release; maybe something will come out of it, maybe it won’t,” she adds. “But it definitely feels like a bridge between the past and the future. Working on these arrangements has been grounding, and it’s given me a clearer sense of where I want to go next.”

minsan studio CEO Jason Conanan shares more about the creative direction:

“Clara and the team started by going back to the songs, the feelings, the time and place where they were first written,” Conanan explains. “It was important to stay true to those emotions, while allowing the music to grow with who Clara is now.”

Tickets to Born On A Rainy Night: Celebrating 10 Years of Human Eyes and Riverchild will be available starting Wednesday, July 30, 2025, via www.minsan.studio. Early bird ticket prices are available for a limited time only.

realme GT 7 Series Brings Pro-Level Clarity to Life’s Everyday Highlights

Wednesday, July 30, 2025


Combining advanced imaging and AI-powered tools, the realme GT 7 Series makes it easy to capture, edit, and share one’s favorite moments with ease

realme elevates its camera game with the realme GT 7 Series. Crafted for creators, storytellers, and explorers, the series combines advanced imaging systems with intelligent camera features, making it easier to capture life’s moments, from mundane to meaningful ones, with clarity and style.

Precision in Every Frame

Leading the series is the realme GT 7, equipped with a versatile triple camera system that empowers fans to capture pro-grade photos and videos. At its core is a flagship 50MP Sony IMX906 sensor with OIS, delivering sharp, detailed shots even in challenging lighting conditions. For fans who love attending concerts, the realme GT 7 also features a dedicated 50MP 2x telephoto lens, ideal for capturing close-up portraits of friends or loved ones, pets, and even collectibles with natural perspective and detail. It also shines during fan meets or live events, especially when seated up close, allowing fans to frame expressive, distortion-free shots of their favorite artists. Meanwhile, its 8MP wide camera makes it easy to frame panoramic scenes and group shots.

The realme GT 7 is also the first device in the brand’s lineup to introduce AI Snap Mode, a cutting-edge feature capable of capturing over 50 high-resolution frames per second. This allows fans to document fast-paced action, such as a game-winning basketball shot or playful moments with kids, with clarity and without the usual motion blur.

Cinematic Video, Front and Back

Beyond still photography, the realme GT 7 Series brings cinematic quality to video outputs. The flagship GT 7 supports ultra-high resolution formats: 8K at 30fps for exceptional clarity, 4K at 120fps for smooth, cinematic slow motion, and Dolby Vision at 4K/60fps for richer contrast and more natural colors. Whether it’s a kid running through the park, city lights after dark, or a walk under golden-hour skies, the realme GT 7 brings scenes to life with crisp detail and a naturally balanced look, allowing fans to see a memory exactly as it felt.

Even the 32MP front camera supports 4K recording, ideal for moments like filming a birthday greeting, joining a video call, or documenting oneself while riding the Razorback Mountain Coaster in Bukidnon.

Built with the same focus on creative expression, the realme GT 7T features a 50MP main camera powered by the Sony IMX896 sensor with OIS, capturing clear and steady shots even when in motion. It supports 4K video and packs a range of artistic tools, including Street Mode with Focus Peaking, which highlights areas in sharp focus for precise, on-the-fly framing, and Interval Shooting that makes it easy to document moments that unfold over time, like clouds rolling over a mountain view, waves crashing along the shore, or outfit changes during a travel shoot.

Smart Features That Make Editing Effortless

The realme GT 7 Series doesn’t just take great photos; it makes post-processing easier, too. Thanks to a set of AI-powered tools like AI Smart Image Matting 2.0, AI Eraser, and AI Reflection Remover, users can clean up or isolate subjects with just a few taps, whether removing unwanted objects in the background or lifting portraits for creative edits. AI Ultra Clarity 2.0 sharpens images when detail matters most, while AI Unblur helps rescue shots that may have been taken too quickly or with motion, ensuring memories remain clear even when captured in a rush. These smart features work behind the scenes to make everyday photography feel polished, professional, and intuitive.

With its powerful imaging hardware and intelligent features, the realme GT 7 Series transforms everyday moments into lasting visual stories, making capturing and enhancing memories feel effortless.

The realme GT 7 is priced at PHP 37,999, while the GT 7T retails at PHP 29,999, both available in IceSense Black and IceSense Blue colorways. The exclusive GT 7 Dream Edition is available in Racing Green and retails for PHP 39,999.

Fans can purchase the realme GT 7 Series through realme’s official Shopee and TikTok shops as well as its physical stores nationwide.

Samsung on Unlocking the Potential in Home Entertainment and Smarter Living with Vision AI


The global TV market leader prioritizes life enrichment in Filipino households through intelligent and adaptive Vision AI TVs.

Samsung shares the Philippine government’s vision of creating smart and sustainable communities—albeit on a smaller scale—starting with more intelligent screens at home. As more local government units enroll in the Department of Science and Technology’s (DOST) Smart and Sustainable Communities Program (SSCP), Samsung focuses on bringing interactive and adaptive companions for Filipinos in the form of its new AI-powered televisions to elevate experiences.

“As the global number one brand for TVs and soundbars, we at Samsung look beyond innovation and more towards how to make a real difference in the lives of Filipinos,” remarked Chris Almazan, Samsung Philippines' Head of AV. “With our new televisions and sound devices powered by Vision AI’s suite of AI features, we hope to continue bringing connected solutions to homes, ultimately creating personalized, enriching experiences built on connectivity and care.”

Vision AI powers Samsung’s new televisions across various models, including QLED, Neo QLED, Neo QLED 8K, Samsung OLED, and The Frame. Each Vision AI TV acts as a home companion that evolves with the user and adapts to their needs—devices that bring entertainment, personalization, and lifestyle solutions through one screen.

Home Entertainment at Its Finest

More than its picture quality, which displays content in ultimate vibrance, the Neo QLED 8K AI TV can also boost any show or movie to 8K resolution. The TV’s NQ8 AI Gen3 Processor enhances the content to bring out the sharpest, smoothest details, so every viewing experience pulls you right in. The Q990F Q Soundbar adds to the immersion, with its 11 front and surround channels producing sound from every angle. When Q Symphony is activated, the speakers of the TV and soundbar synchronize for unmatched audio and viewing.

A Screen That Moves With You

While the QLED AI TV also produces content in stunning, lifelike color due to its Real Quantum Dot technology, it also works perfectly as a home companion that supports your wellness and busy lifestyle. When connected to a Galaxy Watch, you can easily control your TV with simple gestures or track your physical activity while exercising. The Q600F Soundbar makes every workout session all the more stimulating, thanks to its true 3.1.2ch Sound that creates a complete audio environment.

Paving the Path to Victory

With the Samsung OLED AI TV and S800 Ultra Slim Soundbar, every win is just within reach. The TV’s Motion Xcelerator 165Hz technology ensures smoother gameplay, allowing you to see each move more quickly, make the right call, and leave your opponents in the dust. The Samsung OLED also minimizes disruptions with its glare-free screen, displaying clear visuals without distracting shine. The S800 Ultra Slim Soundbar also ensures that you stay focused on what matters, its minimal slim design fitting into your interior while also producing powerful sound.

The Ideal Artwork to Set the Mood

Choosing the perfect piece of art doesn’t have to be a challenge when masterpieces from the world’s best artists are available at home. The Frame boasts an Art Store that houses over 3,000 art pieces to choose from. Additionally, you can customize the screen’s display based on your mood or visual preference using the TV’s Generative AI Wallpaper feature. The Frame is best paired with the QS700F Q Soundbar, which can be set up to suit your home's interior, while also ensuring consistent Dolby Atmos audio quality.

Home Monitoring Made Easy

With SmartThings built in, the Neo QLED becomes your central device for seamless home monitoring. The TV offers a bird’s-eye view of your entire living space and tracks your connected Samsung devices, including soundbars like the Q800F Q Soundbar that produces cinematic AI sound through its physical side and top speakers and subwoofer for richer bass.

Stay Connected and Prepared This Rainy Season with the realme C71 and C75


Affordable smartphones built to handle long days, heavy use, and unpredictable weather

As the Philippines faces challenging conditions this rainy season, staying informed, connected, and prepared has never been more important. While the safety and well-being of the community remain the top priority, there’s also a need for reliable devices that can support essential communications and access to timely weather updates and emergency news during this time.

With smartphones like the realme C71 and the realme C75, users can rely on the phones’ strong battery life, durable design, and smooth performance, helping them stay connected and updated during the rainy season.

Tough Enough for the Season

As the inclement weather continues to disrupt daily routines, device durability becomes essential. The realme C71 is built to last with military-grade shock resistance (tested to withstand sudden drops and impacts), daily water protection, and a SonicWave speaker cleaning feature to help remove moisture. For added resilience, the realme C75 comes equipped with IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings, a tough ArmorShell™ design, and 2-meter drop resistance.

Power That Lasts All Day (and Night)

Reliable battery life is crucial during weather-related disruptions, especially when charging options are limited. Built for long-lasting use, the realme C71 features a massive 6,300mAh battery and 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging, which can reach 50% in just 36 minutes. The realme C75 features a 6000mAh battery with the same fast charging capability and includes reverse charging, making it perfect for powering other devices. Whether it’s for weather updates, staying in touch with friends and loved ones, or accessing essential info, users can rely on the phones’ all-day battery.

Not all friendships look the same. Some are loud and chaotic, others are quiet and steady. But whether it’s a lifelong barkada, an unlikely duo, or a group just trying to figure life out together, there’s something about stories of friendship that just hit different.

To celebrate Friendship Day, here are five titles that highlight all the fun, awkward, and feel-good moments that come with having people you can count on. From classic sisterhood to late-night oversharing and unexpected partnerships, these titles now streaming on Lionsgate Play are perfect for your next chill hangout with your besties.

Little Women (2017)

Little Women is a three-part BBC miniseries based on Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel, following the lives of the four March sisters – Meg (Willa Fitzgerald), Jo (Maya Hawke), Beth (Annes Elwy), and Amy (Kathryn Newton) – as they grow up in Civil War-era Massachusetts. Raised by their strong-willed mother while their father serves as a Union army chaplain, the girls navigate love, loss, ambition, and womanhood in a world shaped by societal expectations. Each sister takes a different path, but together, they learn the meaning of family, resilience, and staying true to themselves.

Sherlock (2010-2017)

The BBC's Sherlock reinvents Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic detective stories, bringing Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and his loyal companion Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman) into 21st-century London. Sherlock uses his razor-sharp intellect and unorthodox methods to unravel cases that baffle even Scotland Yard. Across four thrilling seasons, Sherlock and Watson confront iconic characters including the brilliant and manipulative Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott), Sherlock's enigmatic older brother Mycroft (Mark Gatiss), and the cunning Irene Adler (Lara Pulver).

Everything I Know About Love (2022)

This seven-episode British drama series is based on Dolly Alderton’s bestselling memoir, following four childhood friends as they navigate their twenties in London. At the heart of the story are Maggie (Emma Appleton) and Birdy (Bel Powley), whose once-unbreakable bond is tested by messy relationships, career struggles, heartbreak, and the challenges of growing up. Set against a backdrop of chaotic nights out and quiet moments of self-discovery, the series explores the highs and lows of female friendship, independence, and learning what love really means.

Dirty 30 (2016)

What happens when three best friends decide to throw one last wild party before turning thirty? Dirty 30 is a hilarious and heartfelt comedy about Evie (Grace Helbig), Kate (Mamrie Hart), and Charlie (Hannah Hart) – lifelong pals who reunite for a birthday bash that quickly spirals out of control. As the night unfolds with unexpected twists, the trio is forced to confront the messiness of adulthood, lingering regrets, and their evolving friendship. At its core, the film is a fun, feel-good celebration of growing older without growing apart.

Feed the Beast (2016)

Those in the mood for a gritty drama with a side of food and friendship will find it in Feed the Beast, a 10-episode series that follows Tommy (David Schwimmer), a grieving wine expert, and Dion (Jim Sturgess), a troubled chef, as they chase their dream of opening a high-end Greek restaurant in the Bronx. As the pressure mounts in the kitchen, so do the threats outside it – from mob ties to personal demons – testing their loyalty and pushing their partnership to the edge. It’s a story about second chances, served with tension, ambition, and heart.

Wherever you are, a good connection is all you need to bond and binge-watch with friends on Lionsgate Play via PLDT Home, Smart and Cignal.

Unlock expert tips for fresh and clean clothes, rain or shine, with Beko

Friday, July 25, 2025

The unpredictable rainy season often brings a familiar struggle to every household: laundry.

Drying clothes indoors takes longer, increasing the chances of that dreaded "kulob" smell. Without the help of the sun, keeping garments fresh and ready for use is a challenge.

Beko, from Europe's No. 1 Large Home Appliance Company, understands this very common challenge. To help make indoor laundry efficient and stress-free, Beko shares some practical tips and big savings with its Splash Into Savings Promo. Get up to 36% off on select Beko washing machines and dryers for clothes that stay fresh and clean, no matter the season.

Tip 1: Don’t let your laundry pile up. Wash it ASAP!


Leaving the laundry to pile up can lead to unwanted odors and even affect the quality over time. For an efficient laundry routine, start by sorting your clothes and scheduling smaller, more frequent loads. This allows you to seize every moment the sun appears and ensures your clothes are treated with utmost care.

Beko has a wide range of washing machines and dryers for your specific needs – from compact options ideal for solo living to high-capacity models perfect for families and bulky items. For busy households, the WTLD120D Top-Load Washing Machine is an excellent choice. It has a 12 kg capacity and 10 washing programs, including the 3D Fine Wash feature with optimized drum movements, ensuring thorough cleaning. The AquaWave Drum Patter feature, on the other hand, uses gentle movements to protect your clothes, keeping them in great condition and looking new after every wash. From P29,990, it is now available at P20,990 (save P9,000).

Tip 2: Use The Right Wash Settings

Not all clothes are created equal, and neither are their washing needs.

Over-washing can damage fabrics, while under-washing will not effectively remove dirt and stains. Delicate items also do not require the same intensive wash as heavily soiled items, while stubborn stains need a tougher clean. So when using your washing machine, familiarize the use of the different wash cycles and features.


Beko's WCV8612XS0ST 8 kg washing machine, for instance, offers 15 specialized wash programs, ensuring the right care for the right fabric. From the Woolmark Apparel Care programme for machine-washable woolens, to the GentleCare program for preserving cottons, and the Outdoor/Sports program for waterproof fabrics, there's a setting for every need. And for those times you just need a quick clean, the Xpress Super Short 14 Min Programme can wash up to 2 kg of laundry in just 14 minutes. From P35,990, it is now available at P24,990 (save P11,000).

Tip 3: Dry Your Clothes Immediately

Just as washing promptly is important, your clothes also need immediate drying. If outdoor drying isn't an option, create an indoor clothesline or, better yet, use a dryer for a more efficient and effective drying method to prevent the "kulob" smell.


Both space-saving and convenient, Beko's washer-dryer combos like the HTV9743X (9 kg washer & 5 kg dryer) feature ProSmart Inverter Motor technology, delivering energy efficiency, lower sound levels, and higher durability, all without straining your budget or peace of mind. To ensure your machine also stays fresh, the DrumClean+ programme circulates warm air to remove odors and deep-clean the drum, ensuring cleaner clothes cycle after cycle. From P49,990, it is now available at P35,990 (save P14,000).


And for a truly deep clean, Beko's SteamCure technology provides hygienic cleansing. It sanitizes clothes, removes stains, eliminates most allergens from dust and dirt, and allows for easier ironing, often reducing the need for ironing altogether.

Stay safe and dry at home. Make your laundry stress-free with Beko's home solutions. Take advantage of the Splash Into Savings promo and get up to 36% off on Beko washing machines and dryers. Promo runs until August 31, 2025.
