MANILA, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dubai International Chamber officially opened its new representative office in Manila on April 14, marking a strategic step to strengthen trade and investment ties between Dubai and the Philippines.
The office was inaugurated during an event attended by over 100 senior government officials and business leaders including Louise Araneta-Marcos, First Lady of the Republic of the Philippines; H.E. Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers H.E. Mohamed Obaid Salem Al Qatam Alzaabi, Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to the Republic of the Philippines; and H.E. Ma. Anna Kathryna Yu-Pimentel, Special Envoy of the President of the Philippines to the UAE for Trade and Investments.
H.E. Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, stated: "Launching an office in Manila reflects our commitment to strengthening economic relations between Dubai and the Philippines and creating new paths for cooperation. The new office will support Filipino companies in exploring opportunities in Dubai and expanding their international presence. The Philippines is one of Dubai's fastest-growing trade partners, with non-oil trade reaching AED 3.58 billion in 2025 alone."
This growth is reflected in the increasing presence of Filipino businesses in Dubai, with 2,592 companies from the Philippines registered as active members of Dubai Chamber of Commerce by the end of December 2025.
The chamber's Manila office will serve as a platform to accelerate this momentum by working closely with public and private sector stakeholders to strengthen bilateral relations, provide market intelligence, forge partnerships, and support companies from both markets in expanding their cross-border operations. It will also provide valuable market intelligence to help Filipino companies establish a presence in Dubai and leverage the emirate as a platform for international growth.

Dubai International Chamber launches new representative office in Manila to strengthen trade and investment ties with the Philippines
SINGAPORE, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dreame Technology officially announces renowned Liu Yifei as its Global Brand Ambassador (Smart Large Home Appliances), marking a significant milestone in the brand's premium global expansion. Unveiled during the AWE 2026, this partnership represents not only a comprehensive upgrade of Dreame's brand image, but also a deeper commitment to advancing its presence in the global high-end smart home appliance market.
As a leading brand that has ranked No.1 in the smart cleaning category sales across Southeast Asia for consecutive years, Dreame is accelerating its regional expansion. Its smart large home appliances—including washing machines and refrigerators—are now officially available in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand, further strengthening its all-category ecosystem in Southeast Asia.
Dreame Smart Large Home Appliances: Award-Winning Innovation Meets Refined Aesthetics
Dreame's portfolio of smart large home appliances—including refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines—has received more than 10 prestigious international design and innovation awards, such as the iF Design Award 2026, Asia Design Prize 2026 Winner, and Best of CES 2026. These accolades highlight Dreame's excellence in blending lifestyle aesthetics with cutting-edge functionality. The product lineup spans a wide range of price tiers to meet diverse household needs, from washing machines—including the flagship L9 Washer-Dryer Set and the mainstream P5 Series—to refrigerators, ranging from the entry-level C-Fresh Series to premium lines such as Z-Fresh and Mega Ultra.
The L9 Washer-Dryer Set exemplifies Dreame's technological leadership, integrating three world-first innovations into a single system. Featuring a zero-gap, flush built-in design paired with a premium glass finish, it blends seamlessly into modern living spaces with a refined, minimalist aesthetic. At the interaction level, it introduces an industry-first bionic robotic arm knob that combines tactile rotation with touch control, delivering millisecond-level responsiveness alongside a clear, intuitive display experience. Functionally, the L9 is powered by three proprietary technologies: the Dual Inverter Heat Pump Drying for efficient and gentle drying, PressFree™ Steam Care Technology for wrinkle reduction without ironing, and the FreshLoop™ Plasma Air Circulation system that ensures continuous freshness. Together, these innovations redefine the standards of intelligent laundry care.
The Z-Fresh refrigerator combines aesthetic design with smart technology. Its industry-leading ultra-slim 599 mm cabinet depth and innovative bottom ventilation enable true zero-gap embedding, while a professional recessed hinge requires only 4 mm of side clearance for smooth door operation, greatly improving space efficiency. The Nebula Gray panel, crafted with simulated stone material and multi-layer processing, offers exceptional wear resistance and anti-fingerprint properties, redefining premium appliance standards.
The product features a Dual Cooling System for independent temperature control of the fridge and freezer, eliminating odor transfer. The FreshFlex Multi-Mode Zone and -32°C Deep Freeze meet diverse preservation needs for produce, beverages, and meats. Full-width soft lighting and a dedicated cosmetics storage compartment enhance the user experience, while Dreame APP connectivity enables remote monitoring and convenient control—delivering an efficient, refined food-preservation solution for modern households.
