Everyone knows that Kuya Kim Atienza took over the iconic TV personality Ernie Baron...but Kim Atienza's initial purpose in getting TV exposure was not really intended for that purpose.
For those who are not aware, Kim Atienza is the son of politician Lito Atienza, known more as the former Mayor of Manila. They were actually grooming Kim to become next in line to the father. Thus, the stint on television was merely to give the son exposure on TV.
However, Kim had a change of heart as he has seen how the public accepted him as Kuya Kim, the knowledgeable personality that aside from giving the daily weather, also provided trivia bits and not just about animals and other creatures, but also about almost everything, just like the late Ernie Baron, known as the walking encyclopedia....and Filipinos truly welcomed and loved his equally endearing style. ...thus earning him a place in the hearts of the people.
The renewal of endorsement for Baron Antenna is therefore not really a surprise as who wouldn't want to work with Kuya Kim whom the public believes as a credible endorser.
Antennas are still being used by a lot of people especially those in the provinces or areas where cable TV is not that available. The TV plus may be clear enough for Metro Manila, but at those areas where signal or reception is not that clear, the Baron antenna will supposedly improve the display. But this is again subject to actual testing. We're using a TV plus at our bliss residence in Pasig so maybe if I have an opportunity to get a unit, I could try to check if the antenna does improve the reception.
The new contract with Kent Healt Care Systems water purifier is likewise aporoved with thumbs up since aside from everyone really needs an alternative to the more expensive distilled, filtered, purified, mineral water we buy from water stations, it is also a convenience to just have it accessible within our own homes. I believe the almost 5k retail price is just small compared to the long-term benefits it will provide. The 1k priced consumable to be replaced on a yearly basis is also so small a price. We can safely say that their prices are very affordable even for the low income households.
Now, the effectivity is again another story. Thus, I am really hoping they will provide a unit fir review so we could try it at home.
Below are the official press releases of the contract signing event:
FROM KA ERNIE TO KUYA KIM: THE LEGACY OF BARON ANTENNA LIVES ON
#kuyakim4baron #baronantennaph
Just as the famous “Walking Encyclopedia of the Philippines” Ernie Baron imparted knowledge to his listeners and viewers during his time as a broadcaster and TV Personality, the Baron Antenna also endeavors to be a reliable instrument of learning by providing Filipino Homes with clear reception to one of the more common medium of communication and information in the Philippines; the television.
With the beginning of 2019, ADTEL once again entrusts this advocacy to Kim Atienza, this generation’s “Trivia King” and host of the hit science-environmental educational show, “Matanglawin”, and Ernie Baron’s successor.
Initially conceptualized for the purpose of enhancing the television experience of Filipinos, it was not long before the true potential of Baron Antenna was realized. More than provide better entertainment, Baron Antenna could give people better access to the most effective communication tool in the Philippines before the Internet Boom: Television Broadcast. Thus, in 2003, the Baron Super Antenna was officially distributed by ADTEL INC under the Channel Distribution Department. The public responded to it so well that the year after, it won National Shopper’s Choice Award.
Following the overwhelming success of the Baron Super Antenna, other varieties of the product were developed, especially taking into account the mixed geographic composition of the country. In 2005, Kapamilya Gitnang Luzon or KGL, was launched as the go-to antenna for homes in the countryside. The Baron Extended Range Antenna, capable of receiving television signal even in the most remote of location in the Philippines, was made available in 2006.
From then on, Baron Antenna has continued to reach milestone after milestone as it grows to be a household name:
2009 : Baron Antenna sold 1 Million units
2015: Baron Receiver Link (BRL) Antenna, the first-of-its-kind digital antenna in the Philippines, hit the shelves
2017: The Power Bundle is introduced, combining the ABS-CBN TVPlus Digital Box and BRL Digital Antenna in one convenient and affordable package.
As of December 2018, ADTEL Inc., already distributed 3.5 Million Baron Antenna in more than 5,000 retail outlets NATIONWIDE.
Moreover, BARON Antenna is now being manufactured in a PEZA-accredited plant in Laguna, ensuring that only high quality products are delivered to the customers.
Baron Antenna is committed to give consumers new and innovative products that are technologically up-to-date yet affordable and durable. Just like Ka Ernie Baron, who gave his name to the brand, and Kuya Kim Atienza, who lent his image to it, Baron Antenna hopes to improve the lives of Filipinos by providing high quality television experience.

KENT: THE WATER PURIFIERS THAT CHANGED THE GAME
#kuyakim4kent #kentph
2019 marks the year that the Trivia King, Kim Atienza becomes the face of KENT in the Philippines. Aside from being the successor of Ernie Baron, the Walking Encyclopedia of the Philippines, Kuya Kim is also famous as an advocate of good and healthy living. Survivor, Father, and Athlete, Kuya Kim has proven again and again that age is just a number and it’s never too late to start improving one’s life.
Is it any wonder why he has been chosen as the image of KENT Philippines, whose principal brand is a leader in healthcare products across the globe?
KENT offers a large variety of water purifiers and other healthcare products, each a result of intensive research and represents cutting-edge technology. Their gravity-based water purifiers, in particular, are equipped with Superior Ultra Filtration Technology. This technology not only makes it possible for the
gravity-based water purifiers to operate without electricity, but also, completely makes for a chemical-free purification. The hollow fibre hydrophilic UF membrane with a pore size of 0.1 microns ensures that no micro-organisms such as bacteria and cysts pass through it, ensuring 100% microbe-free water without the use of chemicals like Chlorine, Bromine or Iodine.
With ADTEL Inc., whose advocacy is to improve the lives of Filipinos through modern technology, KENT water purifiers are now made available to Filipinos, who are becoming more aware and concerned about the quality of water coming from their taps and are turning to water purifiers for their supply of drinking water.
KENT Gold+
KENT Gold+ has an elegant table top design that can be placed on any flat surface. Its Tank-in-Tank configuration ensures that there is no overflow when water is poured into raw water tank even when the purified water tank is full. It is also this smart design that makes it possible for KENT Gold+ to have a remarkably high water-holding capacity; 10 litres of purified water storage capacity and an additional 10 liters in the raw water tank, ensuring continuous supply of purified water.
KENT Crystal
Just like KENT Gold+, KENT Crystal is also a gravity based water purifier that operates without electricity and does not use any chemicals such as chlorine, bromine or iodine for purification. But while Kent Gold+ is designed to be placed on a flat surface, KENT Crystal is specially-designed to be mounted on top of the dispenser. It also differs with KENT Gold+ in water-holding capacity with 8 liters of purified water storage capacity and 7 litres in the raw water tank.
With top quality certifications by the NSF, WQA, ISI and CE, any homeowner can be rest assured that KENT products adhere to not only national but also international standards. Driven by the purpose to offer good health to one and all, KENT is, without a doubt, the best partner a person can have for a healthy lifestyle.
