In my family, when shopping for household items like kitchen appliances, I have the upper hand on what to buy. But when it comes to other appliances like TV and gadgets, Jeff knows best. I have to trust him for his techie recommendations. Both of us agree that one important thing to consider is the brand. Honestly, if the brand is popular, I don’t read much the reviews online. Brand-conscious, yes, but this is only because we are spending our hard-earned money, we saved up for it, that’s why we deserve to have something with the best quality.
Have you considered buying Taiwanese brands for your home? Do you use Acer, Asus, HTC, Tatung, or BenQ? Well, these are Taiwanese brands and they all carry the Taiwan Excellence seal.
The Taiwan government launched the Taiwan Excellence campaign in the Philippines to help Filipinos distinguish the best Taiwan-made products. It is through this campaign that Taiwan can promote top quality Taiwanese brands and products among Filipinos.
Taiwan Excellence is a campaign that recognizes high-quality Taiwanese brands, guaranteeing their superior quality and value. To qualify for these awards, the products go through a rigorous screening process to ensure that they are of the highest standard and can proudly represent the unique and innovative culture of Taiwan.
The Taiwan Excellence Seal
All Taiwan based brands are eligible to be part of the campaign. Product categories include consumer and business IT, fashion, arts and culture, sports, education, transportation, and others.
Each product is scored based on its R&D, design, quality, and marketing by an international panel of judges. Each product must score evenly in all four categories. After careful evaluation, those selected are allowed to carry the Taiwan Excellence Seal.
From among the selected products, the judges choose those who deserve the Silver and Gold Award recognition. They will select thirty from the original winners, with only ten to be given the Gold Award, the highest recognition under the campaign, while the remaining finalists will be given the Silver Award.
I’m actually quite surprised on the variety of Taiwanese brands in the market that are not just electronics. If you visit www.taiwanexcellence.ph, there are products for Transportation & Leisure (bicycles, etc.), Home & Living, and Living Applicance & Health Care.
Thanks to this campaign, more Filipino families can make educated, value for money purchases. It is Christmas season after all, we can add these products with Taiwan Excellence seal on our list.

This sounds like a great way of discovering reputable and great quality brands. We have a similar thing here in Ireland.
I’ve never really had to think about buying new appliances until this past summer when my fridge went out. Then I discovered that since I have stainless steel appliances, I always have to use the same manufacturer or my appliances won’t match- what a pain!
That is great that the customer can now make some smart buying decisions!!
Sounds like a great place to go and find what you are looking for.. Thanks for the share!
I live in the States, so this seal doesn’t really apply to me. However, I wish we had something like that over hear. I love the idea of being able to look for products that have a seal of approval.
It’s good to know that you’re getting quality products from names you can trust. Great post!
Sounds like an interesting company…. Never heard of them…. Learn something new everyday 😉
That’s a helpful way to discern which products may be better than others. The seal program is a good idea.
I wonder how they choose things for their list. I guess this is like “energy star” certified products in the US that use less energy for dishwashers etc. I like knowing things I buy come with a certain level of safety, knowing they are “good.”
Oh cool! I never heard of the Taiwan excellence seal. Thank you for showing 🙂
This label sounds so great! We have something similar in the USA. Have a terrific weekend!
I’d have to look for that seal. Great tip!!!
I like that there are tiers of excellence. Makes getting gold that much sweeter.
Never knew these brand were the same brands. Good to know. we have several in our home.
What a great way to celebrate quality products. Thanks for sharing.
Didn’t know about this. I’ll check it out…
Taiwan has a lot of great products especially the gadgets. This can make it easier finding the really good ones with this seal.
I have an Acer laptop and HTC phone didnt know they were taiwanese so cool and nice of the gov to set up such a distinguishable way of identifying quality products
This seal could be useful, a lot of awesome things come from Taiwan!
I have never heard of them before. I am going to have to check it out! Thank you!
Sounds like some really awesome quality products! Good to know!
This would definitely help you know what is worth checking out. I think this is great.
These seals really make it easier to decide on a product!
I’ve never heard of that brand. I have purchased Acer before…
That is very interesting. I assume that many of the products that we have here in America probably come from overseas so its very good to know that they have a seal of excellence.
That is cool. Haven’t heard of that before. Thank you for sharing.
Interesting, I didn’t know. I learned something new today. I’ll have to go snooping around my house to see that seal.
I like brands as well but I agree quality is even more important. Therefore I think it is a great idea to have an excellence seal.
This is great information for people. I didn’t know that there were so many Taiwanese brands. Thanks for sharing.
I have never heard of this campaign before. Thanks for sharing.
It’s great that there’s the Taiwan Excellence Seal. It definitely helps to make sure that you’re getting great quality products.
I remember being overseas and seeing products on shelves then seeing them YEARS later hit the US. Yes there are a lot of future forward gadgets made there.
This sounds really great, I love when people can be educated on what they are buying. Appreciate you sharing this information with us 🙂
Very interesting! I didn’t think of products in this regard, but now I want to know what brands I use that are Taiwanese!
I don’t know if I ever knew of this brand. I am really bad with technology. I will have to ask my husband to check it out!
We do have some Taiwanese brands at home. I think they are quite good and not too expensive.
This sounds so good we dont have it over hear but would be so fab.
