ALDEN RICHARDS on his Renewal: Attributes Success to Fans

Alden Richards just renewed his contract with GMA and GMA Artist Center. He's been in the Kapuso network for over a decade now but he's never been so humble til now.

Alden says "Yes I do experience down times. I'm very lucky because during those times, I am on a break. I really want a movie, an element wherein I do dark roles. It's for approval of course. I remain a loyal Kapuso because my career and success has been in the station. I also have great regards to loyalty and I think til I become a family man, I will stay here. They trust me on big projects, they trust me with roles, they give me the support system I have in GMA and behind me. I guess it's always about being with the right people, with the right mindset, how you view things. What you have inside will radiate, your good heart, your good soul and you have to have the people support you. Authenticity is the key, the pressure will be there, but you just have to lower its presence in life. Since day 1 it's been my principle to never change. Being a Kapuso has been engraved in my mind, I can't wait for more things to happen in the next decade with them.".

You love her, adore her, find her cute, and super funny. She's the Dubsmash queen Maine Mendoza. I remember being there in person during an event when she was launched as an TNT brand ambassador together with Alden years ago when AlDub was super popular (still is now).

It's such a big deal for me to be part of this family. And so, I’m proud and excited to say — Simplé. Smart Ako. Sharing now with you the SMARTer way to pay: Smart GigaPay with Paymaya.#SmartGigaPay #SmartWayToPay #PayMaya #SmartAndMaineWayToPay pic.twitter.com/GMKQNwBYRO

For those who don't know, GigaPay is the Smart way to pay inside the GigaLife app so you can have time for other things and conveniently do it there. You can purchase load, plans, pay bills without downloading the PayMaya app because it's all in the GigaLife app already. All you need to do is click on the link that says Link PayMaya App on the welcome splash screen that pops up when you open the GigaLife app. Enter your PayMaya details, activate the OTP and use it as if you've got PayMaya via web. Doing this will help you earn points, qualify for more promos and do easy payments, that's convenience you deserve!

GigaPay is also powered by PayMaya so you get the same security you get with the leading digital wallet brands in the country. Best of all, you've got Maine Mendoza as the endorser, she's all you need during the depressing rainy days! Haha!

To know more, just look for GigaPay on the GigaLife app today! You can download it off Google Play or the App Store on iOS.

A Stunning Maine Mendoza for Vivo V17 Pro

The cat is out of the bag and yes, this includes a stunningly gorgeous Maine Mendoza endorsing the new Vivo V17 Pro in Crystal White.

This comes as the brand launches the phone in a bit which Maine promises would be perfect for those fun selfies and shoots you often do. The new Vivo V17 Pro has 6 cameras at the front and back, with the industry leading 32 Megapixel dual elevating front camera which Vivo has been doing in the previous models but certainly improved a lot in its output. 

The phone also comes with a Super AMOLED Ultra Full View display, a 48 Megapixel AI Quad Back Camera so those SLR functions would happen on your phone. This is designed this way for those fun quirky events you often go to and need a wide shot so all your friends fit in on one frame. The selfie shots also capture you flawlessly, no further modifications because it learns to make it ever lightly smooth your skin at the instant you take the shot. This also is good for low light conditions with their proprietary Night Selfie, perfect for those date nights you would want to share with the world. No funny deer in headlights scenarios, it processes several images and combines it, so it could display your face, you would stand out from the crowd (yes there are beautifying features) and puts all supposed peripherals in clever slots so you won't be blocking anyone's view. The front cam tucks in, so is the earpiece. Security's also cinch because of the Vivo in display fingerprint sensor which opens the phone. 

It's got a voice changer, made optimized for gaming, has good Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 AIE Processor and a 4100 mAh battery that charges fast and lasts longer. It is currently available in King Black and Crystal White, but I bet they'll run out of the white one once pre orders are out. I bet it's as gorgeous as Maine! I'll update this post when I get photos from the launch later!

Okay here you go!

Go get them in Vivo stores nationwide!
