BestPerfume.Store launches its operations in the Philippines

“I definitely see the love for perfumes in the Philippines and want to bring true quality here. I know the people will appreciate the original sources and performance improvements with a trusted brand. We heavily invested into legislation, compliance, local production and fulfilment to bring faster deliveries, safety, and support here too." ~Josh Frost, BestPerfume.Store's Founder

BestPerfume.Store said today that it will begin operations in the Philippines, offering clients fragrance formulations designed specifically for tropical climates. Since its 2022 launch, the brand has garnered over 3,200 5-star evaluations. It emphasizes high-performance aroma concentrations, local operational support, and 100% lifetime happiness.

In tropical areas like the Philippines, long workdays, outside errands, and commuting affect perfume dependability. High temperatures speed evaporation, which causes scents to project powerfully at first and then vanish sooner than expected. Since Filipinos choose and use perfumes based on the fact that they don't last all day, longevity in humidity is one of the most important characteristics of fragrance performance.

Josh Frost, BestPerfume.Store's Founder

Best Perfume has created formulas that can withstand heat and humidity in order to meet this need in the Philippine market and provide a perfume that lasts all day. Each 100 ml perfume bottle from BestPerfume.Store contains a 50% concentrate formulation, which is far higher than the typical industry standards of 4–15%. This guarantees that fragrances remain on skin for lengthy periods of time, encouraging projection and longevity without necessitating frequent reapplication.

The company has increased its local presence and ensured that every stage, from production to final delivery, is tightly regulated and held to the highest standards of quality by setting up a manufacturing warehouse in the Philippines. The company is built on a client-first philosophy that is reinforced by proactive service that includes hassle-free repairs, prompt replacements, and responsive customer support. This illustrates BestPerfume.Store's unwavering commitment to its Filipino customers while maintaining the same standards that contributed to its reputation in Singapore.

Best Perfume's assortment of more than 300 perfume profiles can suit a variety of tastes, feelings, and circumstances. This extensive selection reflects the brand's belief that fragrance should remain individualized regardless of the environment.

As demand for perfumes that can withstand humidity without sacrificing olfactory quality increases, Best Perfume stands out with a history of high-performance formulas, stringent quality control, and customer-first service. 

By providing the same concentration strength, tried-and-true dependability, and unparalleled standards to the Philippines, BestPerfume.Store ensures that a long-lasting, dependable fragrance is more than just a promise—it's a standard created for tropical living, supported by a brand you can rely on and easily turn to.

BestPerfume.Store perfumes are available to purchase on its website.

Samsung Brings Ecosystem Partners Together with Smart Wash Business Solutions

“Our goal is to empower every sector with innovations that make work smarter, businesses more efficient, and environments more connected.” ~Roman Han, Samsung Philippines President

Samsung Electronics Philippines is helping Filipino company owners launch their enterprises with the launch of its Commercial Laundry Washer and Dryer. The launch will bring together a variety of industry partners to support the expansion of organized commercial laundry operations in the Philippines.

Samsung and its partners will officially introduce the program and demonstrate how coordinated support systems may help enable modern commercial laundry facilities on March 25, 2026, at the "Smart Wash Business Solutions" event at the SMX Convention Center at the Mall of Asia.

Samsung's commercial laundry system will be implemented by authorized dealers, utility partners, connection providers, consulting services, and other industry participants. The rollout is being overseen by CYA Industries, a seasoned distributor of high-end appliances since 2001. By overseeing the critical phases of installation, system configuration, and operational onboarding, CYA ensures that every facility is immediately prepared for peak performance.

With a turnkey solution from Samsung's service partners, owners can "turn the key," with experts taking care of everything from system configuration and installation to connectivity and operational onboarding. While Samsung's partners support commercial washing facilities' operational needs, this collaborative environment ensures that business owners may focus on growth.

Samsung's commercial laundry system, which combines operational monitoring capabilities with connected equipment and is powered by the SmartThings app, allows operators to monitor machine activity, control cycles, and monitor system performance.

By combining this innovative technology with a framework backed by partners, Samsung also hopes to encourage entrepreneurs, real estate developers, and facility managers to consider opportunities in the commercial laundry sector. By integrating equipment, connection, infrastructure support, and operational guidance into a coordinated framework, the endeavor helps simplify what has previously been a challenging process of establishing and running commercial washing operations.

Cetaphil brings expert skin advice closer to Filipinos with Derm On Tour

“Sensitive skin is more common than many people think, yet access to expert skincare guidance isn’t always easy. Derm On Tour is our way of bringing dermatological expertise closer to Filipino communities—so people can better understand their skin and make informed decisions about skincare.” ~Mark Joseph Sarmiento, Cetaphil Business Unit Head

In keeping with its mission to increase accessibility to dermatologist-backed skincare, Cetaphil has officially launched Cetaphil SkinLabs: Derm On Tour, a statewide initiative that aims to provide professional skin advice directly to Filipino communities.

Building on the success of the brand's immersive science-led platform, Cetaphil SkinLabs, in 2025, Derm On Tour is the next stage of Cetaphil's commitment to transforming dermatological expertise into practical, everyday skincare information for Filipinos.

Some of the most well-known people in the country attended the launch event, including Anne Curtis, Catriona Gray, Donny Pangilinan, Hannah Pangilinan, Atasha Muhlach, Kaila Estrada, and Cassy Legaspi, in addition to Cetaphil Baby ambassadors Nico Bolzico, Andi Manzano, Jess Wilson, and Laura Lehmann.

These celebrities, along with dermatologists and pediatricians, contributed to increasing awareness of the benefits of skincare products backed by expert guidance and science, especially for Filipinos with sensitive skin.

The launch was more than just a brand event; it was the start of a bigger initiative to help everyday Filipinos better understand their skin and make dermatological education more accessible.

Science-Backed Skincare for Every Skin Story

Board-certified dermatologists and pediatric specialists led discussions on proper skincare techniques and assisted in elucidating the science underlying sensitive skin throughout the whole event. Their presence confirmed Cetaphil's established prominence as a brand that dermatologists worldwide respect and endorse.

Visitors were also urged to visit the Derm On Tour booths, where they could take advantage of free dermatologist consultations and explore interactive skincare stations. This allowed visitors to get immediate professional assistance and learn more about their particular skin concerns.

Dermatologists stressed how modern lifestyle variables, like stress, exposure to blue light, pollution, and lack of sleep, can significantly harm skin health, particularly for those with sensitive skin.

This science-first approach continues to be the foundation of Cetaphil's philosophy of offering clinically verified skincare products that are both effective and gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Among the innovations on display at the event were the newest Advanced Defense AM Serum and restoration & Renew PM Serum, which are designed to work together to protect the skin from daily environmental stressors while promoting nightly restoration.

Celebrities Share Their Personal Skin Journeys

“Life can get busy with work and family, so I appreciate skincare that’s effective but uncomplicated. Cetaphil has always been about gentle care that works, and that’s something I truly value.” ~Anne Curtis, Cetaphil Advocate

The occasion was made more exciting by the participation of Cetaphil's ambassadors, who talked about their personal skincare experiences and how understanding their skin has affected their routines.

For actress and avid Cetaphil supporter Anne Curtis, finding skincare products that work consistently despite a busy schedule is crucial.

“When you’re constantly on the go, your skin goes through a lot. Learning from my derma about how to defend and repair the skin barrier really changed how I approach my skincare routine.” ~Catriona Gray, Miss Universe 2018

Meanwhile, Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray spoke about the importance of protecting the skin from everyday stressors. 

Among the younger ambassadors were Donny Pangilinan, Hannah Pangilinan, and Atasha Muhlach, who encouraged young Filipinos to look past online skincare trends and seek expert advice when it comes to skin care.

Ms. Abi Mationg, Cetaphil Senior Brand Manager Galderma Philippines

Cetaphil Baby Ambassadors Nico Bolzico, Jess Wilson, Andi Manzano, and Laura Lehmann shared their own parenting experiences and the learning curve that comes with caring for delicate baby skin. 

“Once you realize how delicate baby skin really is, you become much more mindful about the products you use. Having access to expert advice really helps you make better decisions for your child.” ~Andi Manzano, Cetaphil Baby Ambassador

Two new Cetaphil ambassadors, Cassy Legaspi and Kaila Estrada, wish to inspire people to take care of their skin and select gentle, scientifically validated treatments.

When taken as a whole, these viewpoints support Cetaphil's claim that every individual has a unique skin story and should have access to professional skincare advice. This is an extension of Cetaphil's larger #ForEveryonesSensitiveSkin campaign, which advances the company's goal of making sensitive skincare accessible, inclusive, and based on science.

Join the conversation using #CetaphilDermOnTour and #ForEveryonesSensitiveSkin.

TCL Celebrates the End of the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina, Using Technology to Empower Athletes and Audiences

“Since our founding in 1981, TCL’s focus has been to create technology designed to improve lives. As we mark our first year as a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, we have been proud to use that expertise to empower the Olympic Games for audiences across the world. The real impact of innovation is in helping to put human stories front and center on one of the biggest stages in sport.” ~Li Dongsheng, Founder and Chairman of TCL

Today, TCL, a well-known global technology company and Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, celebrated the end of the Olympic Winter Games, a momentous milestone for both athletic achievement and an unmatched platform for its technology. TCL greatly improved how fans, athletes, and viewers around the world experience Milano Cortina 2026 by using its most advanced technology to help convey the greatest human sporting accomplishments with previously unheard-of clarity, size, and emotional impact.

TCL supplied more than 330 TV screens and 300 commercial display units at the International Broadcast Center (IBC), the hub of worldwide coverage, so media professionals and broadcasters could watch every moment in remarkable detail and support the smooth transmission of each event to millions of viewers worldwide. TCL smart home appliances made sure athletes were comfortable throughout the Olympic Villages, and specifically designed display systems made it possible for the "Athlete Moment," which supported over 350 emotional relationships between athletes and their loved ones.

The emotion and drama of Milano Cortina 2026 were captured in the stories of the athletes TCL sponsors as members of Team TCL, whose perseverance and pursuit of excellence inspired people all around the world to recognize their own talent and go beyond personal limitations in their everyday lives. These athletes' passion demonstrated that true greatness can be discovered outside of the podium, perfectly encapsulating TCL's "It's Your Greatness" campaign, even though their effort yielded extraordinary outcomes.

Beginning with its "Wishes For Greatness" Winter Wonderland in the lead-up to the Olympic Winter Games, TCL actively engaged the public with a variety of immersive activities outside of competing arenas. The event, which was set up in Milan's Piazza del Duomo during the holiday season to highlight the city's 29-meter-tall Tree of Milano Cortina 2026, included sport-themed igloos and seasonal displays, providing a lively area for enjoyment and celebration.

TCL Edelweiss Land, located in front of Milan's major train station in Piazza Duca d'Aosta, also ran during the festival. The immersive space, which spanned more than 500 square meters, attracted over 91,000 visitors to learn about TCL's latest innovations, including next-generation home goods, SQD (Super Quantum Dot) Mini-LED televisions, and TCL RayNeo AR smart glasses. Apart from providing personalized souvenirs, the exhibit blended innovation and technology to provide unique experiences for guests.

“The Olympic Games are becoming more connected, more digital, more global. TCL technology is transforming how the Olympic Games are experienced, making every moment immersive and emotional. Our partnership is based on shared values — innovation with purpose, always inspiring greatness. Together, we will continue to bring the Olympic Games closer to athletes, fans, and communities around the world." ~Kirsty Coventry, President of the International Olympic Committee

The Paralympic Winter Games, which will take place from March 6 to 15 and feature six winter sports—snowboarding, ice hockey, cross-country skiing, biathlon, and alpine skiing—are currently being anticipated by TCL. As they compete internationally and inspire others with their perseverance and determination, TCL will gladly support its two Team TCL athletes, Brazilian para cross-country skier Cristian Ribera and exceptional wheelchair racer and skier Aline Rocha.

The company is eager to build on the solid foundations laid during Milano Cortina 2026 with a long-term commitment as a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner. TCL will continue to show how its technology can improve how people watch and enjoy the Olympic and Paralympic Games for years to come by investing in innovation.
