Changing Entry Level Standards with the vivo Y12s

The access to really good smartphones is getting a lot harder these days and the quest of finding one that's powerful, stylish and affordable is becoming rocket science. But don't fret my fellow phone crazy people because our friends from vivo came out with the vivo Y12s, an entry level phone that's set to impress and perhaps, change the standards of smartphones in this price range.

In the looks department, it's colors are very attractive and are called Glacier Blue and Phantom Black. Like vivo flagship phones, this also has side mounted finger unlock, a 6.51-inch Halo FullView Display for those games and movies plus a 5000mAh battery which can make your phone last the whole day of usual calls and internet activity. Best of all, it doesn't break the bank. It only costs Php 6,499 which if you think about, if it carries all these parts and features, is a great deal.

In the power department, it's got a Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 processor and 32GB 3GB RAM storage and memory. The 13MP and 2MP camera still takes impressive shots and 1080p HD videos which is still good for vlogs you plan to also record. The 8MP selfie camera will keep your social media activity on fire if you're raring to have content published, yes it can do that too.

If you wish to have one, the vivo Y12s is available in vivo stores nationwide and online on Lazada and Shopee. There's also packages with memory cards included so you can opt for that too. You can purchase it here and use vouchers if you prefer. 

 Don't say I didn't tell you!

Globe’s Got New Prepaid Promos: Go+

Times are hard but Globe understands the situation so they're coming out with new promos to fit your needs during the pandemic. They call it Go+ which means it'll be more than what they offered in the past and since we're all locked in our homes, I'm sure most of you are either working, playing games or streaming with your favorite apps.

They know how important it is to be able to communicate with work related matters and to take your mind off things, entertainment through games or movies would make your mental health a bit better. True, sometimes it's a bit boring at home and taking breaks like that would do tons of good. You would need enough data for both things and these huge allocations would come in handy with what you're doing whether you're at work or play. Registering to the new promo only costs Php 99 via Go+99 which gives you 7 days of 16GB data plus unlimited texts to all networks. 

 You can use the first 8GB to access kumagcow.com or any website you love, then the other 8GB can be used to access YouTube, Netflix, Viu, iWant, iflix, HBOGo, ONE FC or the NBA. If you're into games, you can also opt for Mobile Legends, Clash of Clans, League of Legends, Wild Rift, PUBG, Call of Duty, MU Origin 2, Legends of Runeterra or Twitch. It just depends on what fits your lifestyle really. If the Go+99 promo doesn't satisfy you, you can opt for bigger allocation via Go+129, Go+149, Go+250. You can access these things via the Globe One app or *143# on your Globe Prepaid phone. These are also available on the GCash app. You have the options, now go work and entertain yourself because Globe is giving you more.

You choose how to use your data, and that's good!

Jimuel Pacquiao, Nio Tria, Analain Salvador, Ashton Salvador, Alyanna Angeles Joins GOLD SQUAD PLUS

More artists are being introduced now as Star Magic and ABSCBN are ramping up their line of programs and the need for talents are evident as some of them have jumped ship (and we can't blame them either because they need to make a living). These guys and gals are promising but what we found out was... they were no strangers to the showbiz industry. 

Jimuel Pacquiao is of course the son of boxing great Manny Pacquiao and Jinkee Pacquiao. Nio Tria is the son of character actress Cherry Pie Picache. Analain Salvador and Ashton Salvador are both cousins of teen king Daniel Padilla. Alyanna Angeles on the other hand is a former child star and is now embarking on showbiz now that she's a bit older of course. They were all very smart, eloquent while being thrown questions by the press and we did enjoy the evening with them. They will be now part of the GOLD SQUAD PLUS group together with other teen stars which they introduced a couple months ago. Being part of this wasn't that easy and some of them were really nervous, they were asked how they feel now that they are officially launched.

Jimuel says "I was kinda nervous at first but I'm thankful as I get to make a name for myself now and perhaps be off the shadow of my Dad."

Nio says "Being a part of this surprised me, and being a Kapamilya, I had to ask her about it and I wanted to do my best now that I am part of Squad Plus."

Analain says "When I first heard it from my Aunt, I was ecstatic. To show talent and pursue my passion for acting, I am also happy to know that I'm with my brother too."

Ashton says "Admittedly I was nervous and speechless about entering the industry, even now I am a little afraid, but of course I am excited to enter showbiz too."

Alyanna says "Well I'm very thankful that even if it is during the pandemic, we were given the opportunity to be part of the Gold Squad Plus."

Here's part of the blog conference we had with them a few days ago

For now, make sure you catch them on KUMU during Mondays and the shows they are planning to have with them soon. Thanks to ABSCBN PR for allowing us to get to know them. Thank you!
