About The Sandman
There is another world that waits for all of us when we close our eyes and sleep — a place called the Dreaming, where The Sandman, Master of Dreams (Tom Sturridge), gives shape to all of our deepest fears and fantasies. But when Dream is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for a century, his absence sets off a series of events that will change both the dreaming and waking worlds forever. To restore order, Dream must journey across different worlds and timelines to mend the mistakes he’s made during his vast existence, revisiting old friends and foes, and meeting new entities — both cosmic and human — along the way.

Over the years, LBC, through LBC Foundation has been providing support for various World Vision campaigns and activities such as the Fun Run from 2012 to 2017, Coin Banks and Typhoon Maring’s emergency response in 2013, and the Noche Buena campaign in 2018. That same year, LBC partnered with Philam Foundation and donated a one-storey building with two classrooms in Molinete Elementary School in Batangas through World Vision. They also offered their courier services in delivering educational materials and equipment for the Visayas Area Programs. Up to this day, LBC has been sponsoring more than 40 children under the Child Sponsorship Program, and with this, children are given access to education, health and nutrition, livelihood opportunities and economic development in the community.

To express his gratitude for the award, LBC Area Manager Richard Gonato said, “We want to instill in our employees the value of giving back. There is a sense of fulfillment that sponsorship brings whenever we hear a child graduate.” To continue their support, LBC aims to collaborate with World Vision’s CHOSEN campaign to call on their employees’ involvement on child sponsorship in their Central Office. With this campaign, children from various parts of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao will take part in the “choosing event” which gives them the power to choose their sponsor.

Optimized Commercial Cooling With LG Multi V Water IV

Now that a lot of employees and businesses are going back to offices, commercial spaces need to be adequately prepared for the influx of people. Some areas might have been able to skate by during the past few years due to the pandemic, but meticulously planned air-conditioning and indoor airflow these days are more important than ever.

 
LG, one of the worldwide trailblazers in air-conditioning solutions, recently unveiled a highly efficient and economical water source system with flexible installation space. The LG Multi V Water IV adopts a water source cooling method that optimizes performance and ensures heat exchange performance for high-rise buildings, thus allowing electrical-savings. This system can be retrofitted to existing high-rise buildings with large offices, commercial buildings using geothermal or water supply, and even residential buildings.

Powering this new technology is LG’s 4th Generation Inverter Compressor. The MULTI V Water IV has a high efficiency inverter scroll compressor with frequency range from 15Hz to 150Hz. It improves performance with low vibration and reduced noise. It also comes in a compact size. Thanks to optimal design, the lightweight outdoor unit enables double stacking, which results in 50% savings in installation space. It is also lighter than its predecessor, making it easier to transport and install thanks to 13% reduction in unit size and 15% reduction in overall weight.

Some of the LG Multi V Water IV’s other features include an extended compressor speed that provides rapid operation response and increases part load efficiency. It also has smart oil management built-in. Oil recovery occurs only when required and this enhances compressor reliability and user comfort. HiPOR™ is also present, which eliminates Energy loss by returning oil directly to the compressor for increased efficiency.

 
As an optional accessory, you can also add a Variable Water Flow Control kit. This system reduces circulation pump energy consumption. By adjusting the water flow rate as needed, you get to save both water and power. The kit lets you adjust these settings without affecting your set pressure targets.

Upgrade your commercial units to keep up with the changing times. The LG Multi V Water IV uses groundbreaking technology that lets you adapt to future technology today. For inquiries, visit the official LG website at https://www.lg.com/ph/business/inquiry-to-buy.
