3.3 Shopee Milyonaryo TV Special with Willie Revillame

This was my first physical event with Shopee as they just announced their newest brand ambassador, no less than the man himself, Willie Revillame. The guy has been hosting popular show Wowowin and with the things he's done for the brand, it wasn't rocket science why they wouldn't choose him for this 3.3 Mega Shopping Day sale. 

Kuya Wil as he is known to everyone connects to the masses well. When he does something, he puts his foot in it, even gives his arms and legs too. Needless to say, he's like Santa Claus that lasts the whole year and he's given much not just to the industry, but to countless Filipinos and the urban poor. When I asked him about why he's given so much, he told me that he doesn't want anything anymore, he's been so blessed so he's always looking forward to another day of giving back to people who has more or less put him where he is today. That's pretty noble, and honestly, I know of a lot of other things he's done for other people, like finding them jobs and stuff, so they too can put food on the table like any other person.

Here's my experience when I went to the GMA studios a few days ago. Enjoy! 

 

 Anyway, he's actually going to be a headliner during this week's 3.3 Shopee Milyonaryo TV Special. It will start on GMA 7’s Tutok to Win + Shopee Live this coming March 3. So make sure you're streaming through the Shopee app or GMA from 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM because that's where he'll be giving away tons of prizes courtesy of Shopee (Oh I heard, up to 5 Million pesos will be given away). Aside from that, Kapuso stars Juancho Trivino, Patricia Tumulak, Kelley Day, Ella Cruz, Julian Trono, bad boy of the dance floor Mark Herras and Rodjun Cruz will be there to entertain you. 

 Shopee will also give away three cash prizes worth Php 50,000 and Php 10,000 worth of ShopeePay credits. Aside from that, there will be rounds of Shopee Shake during the show wherein you can win cash prizes which amounts to Php 150,000, Php 250,000 and Php 500,000 smackaroos for top players.

NOKIA Brings Audio Products in PH Market

Well what do you know, looks like Nokia is not stopping on the mobile phone game. They now have Nokia audio products specifically NOKIA E3100 to be released in the Philippines through RichGo Technology (Shenzhen) Co., who is a licensee for earphones and mobile accessories in the region. 

These earbuds have been designed with a Nordic aesthetic, but patterned it to something simple like an egg. They also chose colors that would be ideal for the millennial in mind (Black/Grey, Red/Pink, Blue, Orange/Green and Cyan/Magenta), then made it very comfortable inside the ear so you can run and jump around with it without any worries. You can pair it wireless in 3 seconds or less, with push button controls, it's easy to play or adjust the volume when you need to. The E3100 also lasts up to 10 hours and sound quality ain't that bad. Best of all, they're offering this at Php 2,000.

 

RichGo's COO Mr. Casey Lim says "We are so excited to release our Essential and Pro lines soon as we have had a lot of people request for it. Our  True Wireless Audio products will be available on 3.3 through our official online stores and retail partners. We will also include a 1 year warranty and start festivities via Shopee on their 3.3 Mega Sale and exclusive launch at the Shopee Mall. This is all for our Nokia fans in the Philippines."

The Nokia E3100 has a 3.7V battery and the charging case has 400mAh of juice. You can also charge it with a USB-C charger and is splash proof (IPX3 standard). They will also release other products included in the Essential and Pro line so stay tuned for that. You may visit their official site Nokia.com/shop and follow @MyNokia and @RichGoPH for more information about the products.

ROG PH Launches ROG Flow X13 and ROG XG Mobile External GPU

Good news for pro gamers as ROG Philippines just unveiled the new ROG Flow X13 and the ROG XG Mobile External GPU. The ROG Flow X13 is a 13 inch gaming laptop which at first look, you wouldn't even conceive how much power they fit into this portable hardware. The ROG Flow 13 is equipped with a AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS processor that can do a lot of things, accommodate tons of games as it is octacore. It also has an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, 32GB memory, a terabyte of storage and a huge 3840 x 2400 touch display (that's 16:10 which is different than your usual 16:9) which you can use to see those little details you need to win games.

As you may understand, it comes packaged with an ROG XG which is an external GPU so you can handle even more graphics especially those high setting third person shooter PC software you're fond of. This is only under 3 pounds, so compared to those bulky gaming laptop computers it is pretty light. Price wise, it's pretty hefty and will be very near the premium ROG laptops released in the previous year. But it's understandable because of how they made this compact as this. They also released a couple of ROG rigs like the Zephyrus Duo 15 SE, the Zephyrus G15, Strix Scar 15/17 and so much more during the same event. They're also available in different colors which is good in my books so you can personalize your rig and choose what's pleasing to the eyes.

They are also selling this as a bundle, so if you're serious about this, you can opt for this offer from ROG.

This sure has made those who are serious in gaming want something that is compact, light rather than those huge ones out in the market. Hope we could have hands on experience on these soon. This is available this February on ROG showrooms and authorized ASUS resellers nationwide!

One can dream, and this dream is surely BIG!

Why ANGELICA-COCO Movie Almost Didn't Happen

 

 

Love or Money, which will you choose? Well that's a hard question to answer but this new film from Star Cinema is just going to answer that for you. Angelica Panganiban and Coco Martin is teaming up in this project and with their first on screen pairing, it's going to be very exciting!

The Love or Money Blogcon or BLOVECON was a pretty fun way to actually get to know who their characters are and if you haven't bought tickets at KTX.PH, this might actually convince you to do so. 

Direk Mae Cruz Alviar says "My artists were not flying to locations and we were blind doing the scenes. I was already ready but people were already sent home because of safety protocols. We were supposed to extend but Coco had Probinsyano and cut the trip short, it was a blessing because after that, we had the lockdown. Announcements were done while we were at the beach finishing some scenes. We forgot the film and saved ourselves while editing in between takes, and online, then waited for things to become normal. This was really a pandemic baby, it had so many challenges. We went through a lot and survived through that. Coco also had a limit in English, we joke about that. He asked me to direct him because he was Cardo for several years. He wanted to be corrected. He listens and he wants to know that, as he wants to be different in this movie. He is very patient, he knows how to fake punches and he knows the tricks, he suggests stuff, he does action 101. I learned a lot from him and he was so kind."

Angelica Panganiban says "When we were in Dubai, we were all going to run fast to the airport because lockdowns were already happening. We were pressured to finish this but didn't know if everything would close down. We were also worried about the shoot in the Philippines and if the movie is going to show in the country. Pandemic, the whole COVID thing was just crazy. If love or money, I would still choose love. If you work hard, you could still get that money, but love is a little harder to get and you pray for that. I couldn't find any fault on choosing money though, because if that gives them happiness, if that provides for them and their family, you can do without love, because that's the truth. You can find love later, or if not, you still will be happy. You can be lucky to have both. It's a big responsibility to give opinions, you have to know yourself, what your rights are, we are just lucky as artists, but they too can contradict you, and also give their opinions, that too is their right. Coco is tahimik, mahiyain, it was hard to actually pull off our team up because he has his own world. I was crazy, and I think he somehow doesn't get that. I was expecting him to give me a bike, a vespa, but he didn't, I was asking him to buy me jewelry, but he didn't. My room was actually full of food, it was like a grocery, I added a lot of pounds and ate a lot while we were there. Also, I wouldn't mind if I were supposed to be stuck there because it felt good to be there, I like that country."


This was a super fun interview because Angel was just hilarious! But she'll be showing sides of love, hope, and romance too. Watch her journey as she chooses love of money in this movie. This almost didn't happen because of the lockdown, but they were able to finish it so you could get something to watch. It's light romance with some of the best actors ABSCBN could churn out, Star Cinema made it, so I think that's enough. 

 

They do good movies.
