AOC/Philips Outlook on Monitor Market in the Philippines

Philips/AOC Launches E and V Line of Monitors

This is something you would want to look forward to if you are an ESport fan or just working in your office cubicle. AOC and Philips just launched a new line of monitors that would be perfect for your gaming needs or even professional use. I often use them in spreadsheets and real time monitoring of social media so I’m not new to their brand.

“Good morning everyone, thank you for coming to our event. We’ll give you an overview of what we released this month. The global market from 2010 to 2018 is declining together with personal computers, but this year we grew 1.5% prolly because of ESports which is going to be part of the Olympics pretty soon. A lot of people are into ESports, even establish school labs. The growth is attributed to us in the non bundle market, we do not have laptops or desktops but have a lot of government shipments worldwide who want us to be part of their system. It’s not because of business doing well on unbundled LCD monitor market, but a large part of this is the Department of Education project. The market is better than other countries who do double digit drops, the forecast is promising though because it is still 35% market share. This is why we are bringing in new products in the market, to see how we get new products aside from monitors.” Kan Yeung of AOC/Philips said.

Regional Product Manager of Philips Paul Tsai says “We want more market share in the Philippines, while delivering Professional, Performing Product. Better is always happening and we want life to be better than before... and these monitors look better. Better contrast value, you see more details, vivid color, better brightness, like HDR so you can see something as close as what your eyes can see in the real world. Your monitors, devices, xbox, ps4, chromecast and Roku all have HDR and other standards in the market. They provide this and is the next big thing of displays. The new generation of Philips monitors are the 1st Vesa PC HDR 400 certified 4K2K Display. It’s got superb video quality, DTS Surround Sound and much like a theater. It’s got better color even on our Ultra Wide Color E9 because of it’s vivid true to life colors and gets higher number of colors, wider color gamut which happens only on our ultra wide color monitors. We also have them with more curvature ratio, uses AMD FreeSync for smoother gameplay. This can be also used for commercial purposes, it’s reliable even in a hostile call center environment. We also have the new V7 model to protect your eyes (flicker free) which is good for businesses that use it all day long. It’s also got edge to edge glass so you see a lot on your documents in an office setting. It’s better performance, design and applications, all from Philips monitors. (They are referring to V Line Model Number 223V7QHSB, the E Line Model Number 248E9QHSB and 328E9QJAB)”

For those who want a piece of the monitors, Philips and 20th Century Fox also has just partnered up, so every purchase of 24 Inch monitors (and up) will get them a free ticket for BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY at the Directors Club in SM Megamall , 8:30PM and will be legendary. This will be shown on October 31. Philips hopes to rock your world in Cebu and Davao too, and it will happen very soon!

Congratulations in your launch AOC/Philips!

Watsons Wish You A Merry Christmas

It's Christmas season once again and if you haven't seen it yet, our lovely friends from Watson's has got some holiday cheers to spread so they got this video published on their Facebook page just recently.

Their wish for you this year is simple, a great Christmas and a Healthy New Year as accorded by the video. You know how much they have helped tons of Filipinos just by being there, giving us choices when we need it, when the cost of medicine is sky high on some other stores, then they have it at a lesser price, some even on their Watsons Generics line that I use until now.

Watsons also accept SM Gift cards and GC's so it is convenient for me even if I don't have that much cash with me. The other day, they even gave me 50 pesos off on vouchers issued just at their Mother Ignacia branch, so that saved me a lot!

Just like these folks on the video, you will experience Watsons either in SM branches or stand alone shops near you. If you want to know more about their Christmas campaign, make sure you like their Facebook page and social media channels because it's all there!

Tim Hortons Double Choco Creep Donuts

My family in Manitoba got the shock of their life when they learned that Tim's is actually here in the Philippines. I wouldn't blame them because we are in a tropical climate but since they are a global brand, it wouldn't be a good idea to leave us out on having the great donuts, coffee and just about any of the sweet treats they have off the kitchen. This Halloween isn't going to be a let down as they introduce something good for those who would want a fright.

Tim Hortons just came out with their Double Chocolate Creep donuts. The donut and donut hole combo made to look like spiders is just so good to pair with a cup of coffee, don't pass on the double doubles if the kind counter guy or lady offers you one. 

It's packed and baked fresh every day and by golly this donut I got from them was just absolutely filling and surprisingly not too sweet, perfect for me who is trying to cut down on sugar intake and just wanted to have a piece or two. I am not even joking.

Ooh and yes if you've got kids they won't be jumping around that much because of the sugar high, so good job Tim's! Now make that holiday special by getting these chocolate loving dream donuts that match every arachnophobe's dream. I also saw some really cool stories they have on their Facebook page so they'll take care of you too. Go get creepy with the donuts today please!

I'll have to get my Double double later, I'll take care of this one first. Nomnomnom.

Matteo Guidicelli x Carlo Aquino in Concert

Women, wait, even men drool at the sight of these two. They are some of Star Magic's prized leading men and they're going to hold a concert at the Music Museum this November 17 and dubbed it MatteoXCarlo. One's a rocker, the other one does a little more slow romantic music- pop rock, it's this opposite characteristics that make it interesting on stage, says Hills and Dreams Producer Vernice Soyangco. 

Ladies would have no complaints with these eye candies as Matteo dishes out his own songs, and tougher machismo vibe on stage while Carlo promises a mix of 90's music, and romantic songs you'll all love.

Carlo says "I couldn't understand this year on what things are happening, a movie, new projects then this concert. I am freaking out but excited because we have never been together even on TV. It started in 94 when my brother asked me to learn guitar, I then loved doing it but performed just for Private audiences. ABSCBN knew we were doing it hence Cyberkada and that's where it started. Bruno Mars, Parokya, it's a mix of things, even Beatles, Britney Spears, Rita Ora (he kids). We jammed one night in a Bantay Kalikasan event and One Music then we enjoyed it. This is an opportunity and it comes, I just grabbed and I'm definitely willing because this is ABSCBN and Black sheep (in his career). I do appreciate that part of this is by Angelica. I don't know if they will be there too but you know they are a big part of why I am getting a second wind. Music is my passion and I do this on the side, they are fixing things to make me release a single soon, a try, hopefully will be good."

Matteo adds "It was a wish to get us together and this was just the right time. It's the first time and I want you all to know we will be just going to have a good time. He and I likes rock music, we are still planning to go to other places. We are going to meet for the other locations and this is going to be fresh. We have the same handler and that's why we know each other well, we both love doing this so on stage we will see a fun, more intimate because the place does that (in Music Museum). I don't know if they will be there but we hope so. We will be using a full band but there would be a mix in the lineup of songs. Our sound will be more pop rock vibe."

So for those who adore these two, make sure you get your tickets at the Music Museum (only if it's not sold out). The director just said there will be some surprises and they are preparing for that. 

Matteo x Carlo will be cool, sexy, fun. That they promise.
