MAINE MENDOZA for the new Vivo X70 Co-Engineered with ZEISS

She's lovely, she's funny, she's beautiful, she's artsy, and she's one of the Philippines brightest stars who you often see put out content and photos that are really good. She's also Vivo's Selfie Portrait Master Maine Mendoza, and together with the brand, they're introducing their technologically advanced photo centric Vivo X70 which is co-engineered by lens manufacturer ZEISS, one of the industry's finest.

This phone has ultra sensing gimbal technology to prevent those shaky moments when you take videos and photos. It takes brighter than usual photos, and even better night shots with its Zeiss Superb Night Camera and AI tech that makes it easier for folks to take photos during dark times. It's got more than enough storage and RAM at 12GB+4GB and 256GB. It can also be present at work and play because of its long lasting battery at 4400mAh and 44W quick charge if you need to. The display can do 120Hz refresh rates, so imagine what you can do with games and watching movies, the possibilities are endless! Make sure you watch Maine's videos and other influencers on Vivo's Facebook page.

Vivo also launched their TWS 2e wireless earphones that costs Php 2,999. It's got a pretty good microphone and noise reduction so you wouldn't be hearing much when you're in an important call or Zoom meeting. Vivo will also be doing a Christmas promo soon so follow their social channels if you're looking for a new phone soon.

We're very thankful for that, I would like to thank everyone in my band, the management, the people that believe in us, we are so grateful to become your kapamilya. Thank you Lord for giving us this blessing. There were a lot of things happening during the shoot of the video, I couldn't show the right emotions initially, I was strong because I didn't want to cry, I don't want to feel the hurt, so I kinda shut down, but I have to feel it again, the feeling of being human. Thank you to GG Vibes, to Marcus Patterson, to our Director thank you so much. What made me strong was my experiences, the people that inspired me especially now, my bandmates, my Mom, the people I get to grow with. I take that in because it will make me better, they know I will grow." Here's a bit of the presscon on video, enjoy!

I made Gigi De Lana Cry with my question about love and learning from her heartbreak. But as always, I am so thankful that we got to talke to them and see a different side to the band and Gigi De Lana. Thank you to ABSCBN PR for having us! Their music video will premiere tonight at GG Vibes YouTube channel so watch it at 6PM!

More Stars Renew with GMA Artist Center

It was a very lovely day to talk to several of GMA's homegrown stars particularly teen star Bryce Eusebio, singer and actress Denise Barbacena, the stunning Pauline Mendoza, beauty queen Patricia Tumulak, champion singer Hannah Precillas,  demigod chef Jose Sarasola, great villain Ashley Ortega, the pretty Analyn Barro and model/actress and host Luanne Dy.

During the blogcon they told us what they plan to do now that they renewed ties, but they also delved a lot of the conversation about their individual experiences during the lockdow. The pandemic has gotten to a point wherein they weren't able to shoot their projects or continue taping for it. They also got to do several things like businesses durign the time so they could earn a little because they needed to also pay the bills. They want to also improve more, expect that they'll have more shows because the network gives them quite a lot even back then.

Check out our interview with them a few days ago:

It was awesome to see them working again, hearing them sing and of course, tell us about new shows (First Yaya Book 2!) here's hoping they would be able to continue shooting shows as the new normal becomes a reality.
