I Found My Heart In Santa Fe Movie launching

For the first time, real-life couple Roxanne Barcelo and Will Devaughn join forces in terms of heart, talent and resources (as co-producers) to make what could be most interesting and heart-warming romantic-comedy of the year.

"I found My Heart in Santa Fe", the movie was shot in location in the picturesque island of Santa Fe in Cebu, which is said to be the newest favorite tourist destination of people wanting to bask in the sun and enjoy the cool waters.



In the movie, Roxanne plays the role of Jennifer, a smart, hardworking and pretty islander with a unique personality. She has this spunk in her that is not typical of an island girl, making her more interesting to men. But because of a recent heartache in her personal life toughened her and made her wiser when it comes to love. What keeps her busy is managing their family-owned business, a resort called Beach Placid.

Will, on the other hand, plays the handsome German-Filipino named Viktor, who loves adventure and has his own company named "Green Technoloy" which is focused in developing business ventures in different countries.

Viktor is a prized catch. He is rich, athletic, a music lover but remains a simple man who just loves to explore the world. He is also in the process of putting together the missing pieces of his life.

The exciting journey to love of Jennifer and Viktor started when the latter decided to fly to Santa Fe to look for his biological mother which he has yet to meet and to discover his Filipino roots as well.



Victor and Jennifer will bump into each other in a rather odd situation but due to Viktor's insistence and persistence, he will stop nothing to win the heart of Jennifer. He was captivated by Jennifer's charm. The movie follows the blossoming of the romance between two individuals whose traits are poles apart. But they say, opposites poles attract. Whill this hold true for Viktor and Jennifer?

Focus on your family’s nutrition with the LG Linear Inverter Dual Door-in-Door refrigerator

Modern living has spawned several unhealthy lifestyles that have resulted in families’ poor focus on nutrition. This in turn has become a major health hazard, causing diet-related illnesses like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, cancer and osteoporosis, to name a few.

Needless to say, eating nutritional foods and observing healthy eating habits should really be taken seriously in every household. If there is one prominent appliance that can play an important role in the food and nutrition of families, it is the LG Linear Inverter Dual Door-in-Door refrigerator, where global technology innovator LG has come up with the most advanced combination of technology and design.


LG Philippines Home Appliances Vice President Youngmin Chae said, “We at LG continue to bring technology innovation where it matters most—the lives of people. Our Dual Door-in-Door refrigerator is the first in its market to have six doors built-in in its units, thereby maximizing functionality, design and convenience for healthier lifestyles.”


LG’s Dual Door-in-Door™ maximizes space, allowing you to stock weeks’ worth of nourishing supplies and have the right food for your family at your disposal, without the time-consuming trips to the grocery or worries of spoilage. LG’s Hygiene Fresh+™ technology uses a five-stage filter that eliminates most food spoiling agents such as dust, fungi spore, acidic and alkaline odors and bacteria. The system removes up to 99.999 percent of air-borne food contaminants and purifies the air inside the refrigerator so that fresh produce and perishables last longer.

Buy a variety of fruits, store pre-cooked meals that you and your kids can bring to the office or school or toss up salads to put in containers inside the refrigerator so that you will never have to worry about skipping meals or buying greasy and artificial food from outside. The right refrigerator can help you plan your menu for at least two weeks and safely store the ingredients, maximizing time spent in the market or grocery.

Designed with exterior door storage plus another layer between the outer and inner storage, LG’s revolutionary refrigerator allows you to place your favorite food in an easy-to-reach area while dramatically reducing cold air loss. The outer door area provides quick access to snacks and drinks without cold air escaping from the inside, which cuts energy costs and keeps food fresher longer.


Furthermore, LG’s standard Inverter Linear Compressor not only reduces energy consumption inside the refrigerator, but also brings down both noise levels and internal friction so that more energy is used for cooling.

Equipped with next-level technology, the premium LG Inverter Dual Door-in-Door refrigerator is currently in the market for Php 169,995 (35 cu.ft) and is backed by a 10-year LG warranty.
