“This partnership is built on authenticity,” said Cernitchez. “We’re thrilled to celebrate Kathryn’s third year with TCL. Her genuine connection with the Filipino audience and her influence as a trusted icon have made her a perfect fit to champion our message of ‘Inspire Greatness’.”

Kathryn, radiating gratitude, also shared how her partnership with TCL has positively touched not only her personal journey but also the lives of many Filipinos.

“I’m incredibly happy to have contributed to TCL’s rise to the top. I’ve personally experienced the quality of their products—and they truly make life better,” Kathryn shared. “I especially love my TCL QLED Pro TV. It helps me relax, bond with family, and enjoy my downtime despite my hectic schedule.”

She continued to praise the brand’s thoughtful design, highlighting its accessibility and relevance to the modern Filipino lifestyle.

“TCL products are made with us Filipinos in mind. Whether it’s for entertainment, work, or staying connected—TCL continues to innovate in ways that make technology truly part of our daily lives.”

Now entering its third year, the TCL-Kathryn partnership has become one of the most impactful celebrity-brand collaborations in the country. Kathryn will once again take center stage in TCL’s upcoming campaigns for its flagship product lines — TVs, Washing Machines, Air Conditioners, and Refrigerators — bringing smart, stylish, and eco-conscious solutions to homes nationwide.

As TCL eyes another year of trailblazing innovations, the partnership remains stronger than ever.
