Safe Homes with Verified Solane

I'm sure you've been cooking so much these days at home, it's beginning to be enjoyable. The pandemic got us all confined in our homes and whip up generations of the best dishes your family has been doing for years now. Together with that, it's quite important to have Liquefied Petroleum Gas tanks available all the time so you can make meals available when needed, no matter how tough it gets everyday.

 Not all LPG tanks are created equal. Some come from unscrupulous individuals whom you sometimes don't even know where they source their tanks, if they do the needed upkeep to make sure what's refilled and being used in your homes isn't a ticking time bomb and fire hazard waiting to happen. If it's too rusty, with holes, leaking, or just about anybody's nightmare can happen, we're not sure we're getting the right one for the job because we're all clueless where it came from (especially if you're buying it from some weird place of course!). Unfortunately, there exist FAKE ones out there and if you're not careful, you might fall victim to these people who don't know how dangerous it is to handle. Til today, unattended stoves have been in the top causes of fire in the country and that accounts for a lot of homes and lives lost, brought out by illegal re-fillers who earn from it too. That's just not right.

Good LPG's like Verified Solane makes sure the process is documented, from production, refill, to delivery, everything that makes sure what you use at home is safe as it is inspected thoroughly. They also make sure that you get what you pay for in terms of weight indicated on the tank and not cheat you for what it's really worth. Verified Solane can now be ordered through https://www.facebook.com/solane.ph or their phone numbers 8887-5555 for those who live in Metro Manila or their mobile number 0918-887-5555 which can service people who need it nationwide! It's delivered too by trusted drivers whom are trained to also make sure it is checked and installed properly. 

It would be lovely to have them especially if they're thinking about doing right, every time. 

It just makes sense.

 

CHRIS EVANS for “Live Smarter for a Better World”

Just got off the press conference of Chris Evans. The good looking guy has been on your timeline for a couple days now, and how do you feel seeing him talking in Filipino a couple of times and asking you to “Live Smarter for a Better World”? You see, SMART Communications aim to inspire people like you to commit to personal revolutions. It's like collective action, so we live like we're not just talk.

Chris Evans is the face of this campaign. The reveal was done over Twitter the other day by MVP Group head honcho Manny Pangilinan. He also appeared in the two minute commercial directed by Pascal Heiduk who has worked with Hugh Jackman and Lewis Hamilton and did ads for BMW, Montblanc and Mercedes Benz AMG.

What's cool with this campaign is that they want you to take action on your dreams and make a positive impact to society. They want to support efforts (just like they did in the past few years) especially those which encourage innovation, sustainability and help in nation building. They don't want you to just settle for "good", they want you to do "BETTER". Isn't that awesome?

Chris has supported various social causes including A STARTING POINT (NGO helping community leaders connect with technology), also Breast Cancer Care organizations, charities and other efforts. He's just looks, he's doing something, acting on it.

Darwin Flores VP and Head for Community Partnerships Smart Communications "It is in acting locally that we change the people around us. Connecting, working together, this is why this means more to us. We recognize that life is only one, human connections can be enabled by technology, it should be for all. At Smart, we have efforts and CSR programs across the country, not just help, but livelihood programs. Tech should enable you to fulfill what is important to you, to make sure there si food on the table, livelihood not just today, but the future. This should enable learning, within and outside the classrooms, it could be anywhere anytime, like with our school in a bag that has made smart communities. Food security, we realized the importance of our farmers, if they don't plant, we don't eat. It's why we buy from our local farmers, while getting quality products for our families. Simple solutions can make a difference. We can overcome things when we act together."

Ms. Jane J. Basas the SVP and Head of Consumer Wireless Business at Smart says “This is of course a collaboration with Chris, and we know how he captivated the world not just by being a hero but also in real life as he uses his influence in making a better world for all. In support of our campaign, we hope we get to inspire people to bring out inner hero to help change the world. It can be done with one positive action at a time. Social advocacy has been in our DNA, it has been in our goal to make Filipinos be connected more than ever. This same driving force that pushed us all these years. ”

 Mr. Alfredo S. Panlilio President and CEO of Smart adds “The pandemic made us all realize that we are all connected and how our actions have broader impact. Our “Live Smarter for a Better World”  campaign aims to create that spark in everyone so we can change the world for the better. We can't settle for good. This is one of our biggest initiatives. Smart intends to inspire people, ignite passion, to empower more Filipinos in their own way, that we can make a difference."

 

Chris says "Start off reading. It can do a lot. It was born in recognizing that there are proliferation of fake stuff, getting the people in office to directly communicate facts rather than fiction is important. This is where "A STARTING POINT" started. I can't wait to get out there because I've heard so much about the nice beaches, can't wait to visit and say hi!"

Smart has an open invitation to come to the country and perhaps, get to look around our beautiful islands (hopefully soon). If you haven't seen it yet, go visit Smart Communications FB, Twitter and IG accounts as it is all posted there. Chris Evans, Captain America, America's... good looking guy that does it all.

JC Santos and Janine Gutierrez Star in TBA Studios "DITO at DOON"

Theaters are opening and TBA Studios is going to have March memorable with a new movie called DITO at DOON directed by JP Habac. It's a movie about a chance romance between Len and Caloy played by the two artists, of which one is a Political Science grad while the other is a delivery guy. They met online and didn't quite end in good speaking terms.

Produer Mr. Vincent Nebrida says "We're very proud of this film shot during the pandemic. It feels good to watch and it's positive about the situation despite of these things."

Janine says "We've all been written as artists about things that are not even true. I've learned not to be judgemental because we don't know them which is part of what's spoken about in this film."

JC says "This is my first time working with her as lead actors, but we have worked in a project where Janine has guested. This is the first time we had a chance to talk, to get to know each other as a person. I really look at her as a person, I don't really do much on social media so I don't read much of what is said about me."

 Here's part of our interview on video:

 The cast includes Victor Anastacio, Yesh Burce and Janine's mom Ms. Lotlot de Leon. Dito at Doon will be shown on theaters nationwide. This is under WASD Films and TBA Studios. This is an interesting love story, will they end up together or be different people?

 Go watch it!

 

Redmi Note 10 Series Launched in the Philippines

 

 

The Redmi Note Series has done quite well in the mid range market and in the past, they've come out with very nice sales figures last November 2020 of over 140 Million units of smartphones. Continuing it today, they've gotten these handsets improve in taking photographs, videos, have bigger sensors and capacity while keeping it sleek and beautifully designed. Shock and awe when they announced it even had a monstrous 108 MP main camera with the Redmi Note 10 Pro. Aside from that, they also launched a couple more like the Redmi Note 10S, Redmi Note 10 and the Redmi Note 10 5G.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro has that beast of a camera plus a 6.67 inch AMOLED display that gets you the deepest blacks, vibrant colors all the time. Aside from that, it has an 8MP ultra-wide camera, a 5MP tele-macro lens and a 2MP for the depth so you can get those creamy bokehs to happen. The front cam has a 16MP lens which is more than enough for selfies, and would be so much for a simple zoom meeting. It also comes in Onyx Gray, Glacier Blue and Gradient Bronze colorways and up to octacore and 128 GB storage.

For the Redmi Note 10, they've got the colors Onyx Gray, Pebble White and Lake Green. They've got this in 8/128GB storage or lower, and a pretty nice 48MP camera. It also has a 8MP ultra wide, 2MP for macro and depth in the back. The front cam has 13MP which again, is more than enough for selfies. It also has a 5000 mAh battery and 33W fast charging. It also has a side mounted finger print scanner if you prefer opening it up or biometric security and runs with a huge Snapdragon 678 chipset on it.

Although the Redmi Note 10S has similarities with the Redmi Note 10 like the display, battery and 33W charging support, it still has a different set of camera because it has a 64MP main (quadcam with 8MP + 2MP + 2MP depth) and of course a Helio G95 chipset. It comes in 3 colorways namely Onyx Gray, Pebble White and Ocean Blue.

When they got to the Redmi Note 10 5G in the event, they mentioned it doesn't have an AMOLED for its display and instead, has a 6.5 inch 1080p LCD that has a refresh rate of 90Hz. It has a 7nm MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor that's got 5G in it. It's got 3 lenses at the back with a 48MP main one and 2MP + 2MP. The front cam carries an 8MP. They also have this in Onyx Gray, Glacier Blue and Gradient Bronze colorways so you have freedom to choose and personalize it. It's priced the same as the Redmi Note 10. 

As you can see, it's priced in dollars during the world launch, you might have to convert that to peso if you're really interested. So that's less than 10K for the Redmi Note 10 and the Redmi Note 10 5G, while the Redmi Note 10S costs around a little above 11K, and the Redmi Note 10 Pro cost a little above 13.5K pesos. 

Pretty good choices in the midrange market eh?
