Ella Cruz and Bret Jackson on Wattpad Presents: Hot and Cold

We're now here at the press conference of Hot and Cold, this coming week's episode in Wattpad. They've been really gambling in the combinations of actors and this time, wait to be charmed by Ella Cruz who skipped stables just for this show. She's also going to be paired with Viva and TV5 artist Bret Jackson who'll be like cat and dogs during this week's installment. 

This book is authored by Marielicious who's also here, consequently on the table beside me. She also did the big one entitled "The Magic In You" which starred Mark Neumann and Shaira Mae, TV5's premier teen love team. They're promising a good story without getting to fancy, realistic and something people can relate too. 

Bret plays a guy who's basically an @-hole and had a certain incident where they had to fight over a single book inside a bookstore. He felt he won over him but ended up getting beaten up by Ella's friends later on, forcing him to give her the book. During that time, Ella's character had simply grown fond of him, she found the little things he does to make that linking grow a bit more.

Ella has been loaned to TV5, but she's really happy to have had the chance to work with a teen segment because Wattpad produces some of the most romantic and heartwarming stories during this season. 

As for connections, I obviously have seen them very sweet during the press conference and the people from the production have been witness to how sweet they have become in the past few weeks. Bret even goes the mile and says that somehow, he's gone quite protective of Ella in the short span that they've worked together. He says "Ella is a ball of energy and you cam see how playful she is right now during this presscon, that's her in real life. I do have some movies coming up but I can't announce anything yet, but it's going to happen real soon." 

Ella also says "The first scene we ever shot was actually the final scene so we had to become comfortable with each other. When I looked into Bret's eyes I could see how nice it is, it's in a different color and he says it depends on his mood while I on the other hand had to use contact lenses. My character here is a little on the fancy side, maarte if that's a trait and of course I had to be really talktative so I could be fun with Bret's character. I tried and succeeded to make him laugh in all the scenes so I think we did a pretty good job." 

They also have branded this love team as BrElla/UmBrElla and you'll be seeing the sweet scenes on Wattpad Series Presents Hot and Cold by Marielicious on TV5 everyday at 9PM. 

Ciao!

Philippine Launch of Honor 6 Plus, Honor 4X and Honor 4C

Finally we've seen the next generation phones that Honor has been keeping in their coffers. Today, May 12th 2015 we stood witness to the release of their new flagship device the HONOR 6 PLUS, the Honor 4X and Honor 4C. Niño Carandang, Honor's Unit Business Manager says "We're bringing three new smartphones to the local market and we're dedicating this to the young Filipino. The Honor brand stands by people who can make bold decisions and trust devices that have hig specifications, usable features and a very affordable price."

The Honor 6 Plus

It's a very nice handset that's got powerful processing speed. It's got some of the industry's best dual rear cameras and an aesthetic that simply says "BEST!". It's got a 5.5" size but 78.2% screen ratio. It's also one of the thinnest in its class at 2.8mm. Super vivid from any angle, this also has an HD screen at 1080p resolution at 403ppi. Aside from that, you get better resolution from Honor 6 Plus with its JDI IPS NEO Negative LCD Screen LTP Silicon, made to have 30% better resolution than ordinary IPS screens out there. You'll see those images super clean, clear and sharp! 

The phone has got 3rd generation Corning Gorilla Glass so you can expect three times stronger, tougher but more accurate navigational screens. If you check out the back cover, they use a bullet proof grade material and some parts are mad of fiberglass. Pretty tough cookie in all aspects of its design. 

The phone also uses an 8MP front facing camera and a panoramic portrait mode, so there's no reason why you and your friends won't fit in the frames when attempting groufies! Having the 3,600 mAh battery can get your phone last almost 2 days. They say it can even last longer on Ultra Power Saving Mode. It's also got a Kirin 925 octa core processor and 3 GB RAM and can kill the competition because most often than not, in this amount of power they'll probably cost twice as much!

For those who have two lines, the Honor 6 Plus has got Dual Card, Dual Usage abd Dual 4G ports so fast connections would be a norm. Now how can competitors beat that at this price point? You tell me.

The Honor 4X and 4C 

Aside from the best of class Honor 6 Plus, they also released new mid range priced devices. This is the Honor 4C and Honor 4C. The Honor 4X has got a 64 bit processor, a 13 MP rear and 5 MP front camera. It's also got Dual SIM, great battery life and 4G connectivity. This means we'll have 40% better performamce compared to other brands 32 bit handsets and donnes a 5.5 HD screen with 16 Million colors making all those photos and videos more life like, or even better! Battery wise, it can perform more by lasting up to almost 7 days in ultra power saving mode.

The Honor 4C is more of an entry level device. It's got 720p display, a 13 MP camera, a HiSilicon Kirin 620 SoC processor running on 1.2 GHz octa core cortex A53 CPU, 2GB RAM, an 8GB memory (and expandable 32GB capacity microSD slot) and uses Android 4.4 Kitkat OS. 

The Honor 6 Plus is pegged at Php 17,490.00, while the Honor 4X is Php 8,290.00. The Honor 4C is priced Php 6,390.00 and will all be released on May 12, 2015. It's on sale now on Lazada and  their outlet stores, go catch the wave!

I am not alone, there are millions of people who watch videos on these channels and upload their own in entities like Vimeo, Viewstream, Skype Qik and the latest favorite Dubsmash. The library is just getting larger and the good guys from SMART knows how much you need data these days that they're willing to go the mile and partner with these video services so you can get the best rates ever for video.

As low as 5 pesos and you can subscribe to packages that can let you view Youtube, Dailymotion, Vimeo, Viewstream, Skype  Qik Video Messaging and Dubsmash. It's a complete video content experience. Price and data should never be feared, we also worked with R&D to get video at affordable prices with the Load Protect feature so nobody would have bill shock later on.

We're all here to partner with the biggest network. The watch time of Youtube is #3 in Southeast Asia, the average use in the Philippines is 30% more than the whole region and we're here to make it accessible to more Filipinos and Smart has done so much to make it better."

Later on the evening, Smart also held a Lipsync battle to entertain the press. They got celebrities mimicing their favorite singers on center stage and would you guess who won? Check out some of the crazy things we saw that evening when Michelle Gumabao, Maxene Magalona and Gino Quillamor went and battled it out for lipsync supremacy, their own 15 minutes of fame!

I always knew Gino could belt it out in real life (silent rushers do know!), I just wished we could have seen it there during the event. Congratulations Gino! You deserve the win, after all, who would ever think you had Whitney Houston in you?!
