Two strong forces unite. TCL Electronics, a leading consumer electronics brand and the world’s top two TV brand reaffirmed its commitment to its partnership with Asia’s superstar, Kathryn Bernardo, through a recent contract renewal.

The partnership was officially renewed at a contract signing event held at Studio Simula last January 23, with Shae Xiaoling Yu, Deputy Marketing Director, and Joseph Cernitchez, Brand Manager together with Kathryn’s co-manager Lulu Romero and Francis Kalayaan A. Vidanes of VCM The Celebrity Source.

“We’re excited to celebrate Kathryn’s third year with TCL and the continued strength of our partnership. Her authenticity and ability to connect with our consumers have made a significant impact in our campaigns, effectively communicating our “Inspire Greatness” message over the past two years.” says Joseph Cernitchez, TCL Philippines Brand Manager.

On her part, Kathryn expresses her gratitude to the brand for their trust and belief in her capacity to contribute to its growth and development.

“I’m incredibly happy to have contributed to TCL’s rise to the top. Knowing the competitive landscape and having experienced TCL products firsthand, I can attest to their exceptional quality and suitability for residential and commercial use,” Kathryn enthuses.

Kathryn’s loyalty to the brand is evident in her personal use of TCL products. When asked about her favorites, she quickly names…”I absolutely love using my TCL QLED PRO TV. It allows me to easily stream my favorite shows and movies, making it the perfect escape from my busy schedule. I can also enjoy family time and organize movie nights, which I cherish. The picture quality is also top notch! These products truly enhance my lifestyle—whether for work or relaxation—allowing me to juggle my busy schedule with ease.

“I also love that TCL products are designed with the needs of Filipinos in mind. They bring high-quality entertainment and connectivity into our lives, making technology accessible for everyone. Whether it’s through the stunning visuals of a TCL TV that enhances movie nights or the smart devices that facilitate communication and productivity, TCL is constantly innovating to meet the demands of modern Filipino families. I believe that these products help bridge the gap between technology and daily living, allowing people to stay connected, entertained, and informed—all essential aspects of enjoying a quality lifestyle,” she adds.

TCL has announced that Kathryn will once again headline upcoming marketing campaigns for its key product lines: TVs, washing machines, air conditioners, and refrigerators.

Mr. Cernitchez shares that “2025 is an exciting year for TCL, and we are very happy to continue our partnership with Kathryn.  As we all know, she’s truly a perfect match for TCL. A perfect embodiment of what ‘Inspire Greatness’ is about. Expect more breakthroughs and innovations that TCL will offer in the next coming campaigns.”

Marking its 25th anniversary and the renewal of its partnership, TCL looks to the future, reinforcing its commitment to providing appliances designed with the user in mind, promoting a natural, stylish, and eco-conscious environment. This vision of intelligent and eco-friendly living is brought to life through TCL’s innovative smart, and sustainable home solutions.

Now in their third year of partnership, TCL and Kathryn have built a strong and enduring bond. As TCL looks forward to more groundbreaking innovations, Kathryn remains grateful for the brand’s role in her journey – both personally and professionally.

“My journey with TCL has been truly remarkable and filled with unforgettable moments. One of the most memorable experiences has been seeing firsthand the innovative technology and quality that TCL brings to Filipino households. It’s rewarding to be part of a brand that is driven by a commitment to improving the lives of its customers through technology. Celebrating TCL’s 25th year in the Philippines adds even more significance to this journey, as we reflect on our growth and successes together,” as Kathryn gives her the sweetest smile.

AMA Bank Seeks Clarification from BSP Following Contradictory Statements on Reopening and Depositor Payments

0

In response to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) press release titled Statement on AMA Bank Case issued on January 30, 2025, AMA Rural Bank of Mandaluyong, Inc. (AMA Bank) seeks clarification on BSP’s position regarding its pending second Motion for Reconsideration with the Supreme Court and the bank’s reopening.

The BSP’s statement asserted that its pending second Motion for Reconsideration “does not prevent AMA Bank from reopening and paying its depositors and creditors.” However, AMA Bank observes that this contradicts BSP’s own legal filings with both the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court.

In its Comment/Opposition filed with the Court of Appeals, BSP previously argued that AMA Bank’s Motion for Execution could not be acted upon due to the pending second Motion for Reconsideration before the Supreme Court. Furthermore, in its second Motion for Reconsideration filed with the Supreme Court, BSP stated that AMA Bank could no longer be reopened under any circumstances after its closure was ordered by BSP.

Given the apparent contradiction between BSP’s press release and its legal arguments, AMA Bank is now formally requesting BSP to clarify whether it has abandoned its second Motion for Reconsideration with the Supreme Court and its Comment/Opposition to AMA Bank’s Motion for Execution with the Court of Appeals. If BSP no longer stands by these filings, AMA Bank urges BSP to formally withdraw them.

Additionally, AMA Bank seeks confirmation on whether BSP’s press release should be treated as an official authorization for the bank’s reopening, in compliance with the final judgments of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals. If so, AMA Bank requests BSP to affirm this in writing.

To facilitate the bank’s reopening for the sole and limited purpose of repaying its long-suffering depositors, AMA Bank is calling on BSP to take the following actions without further delay:

  • Return AMA Bank’s reserve funds amounting to approximately Php135 million;
  • Instruct the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) to return the bank’s cash assets totaling approximately Php340 million, which were seized under BSP’s now-nullified closure order;
  • Advise the Department of Education (DepEd) to promptly release collections from teacher’s loans owed to AMA Bank, amounting to more than Php1.4 billion.

AMA Bank reiterates its commitment to resolving this matter in the best interest of its depositors and creditors, who have endured prolonged uncertainty due to the bank’s closure. The bank urges BSP to act decisively and in good faith to restore the financial security of its clients and ensure compliance with judicial rulings.
