HONOR 200 5G Excels in Portraits, AI Functions to be Added Soon

Honor Philippines just launched their newest phones today, the HONOR 200 5G and the HONOR 200 Pro 5G.

The phone boasts of a camera that has been worked on by Paris based Harcourt Studio, who specializes in portraits. Now it's actually easier to take quality shots with this AI Portrait Master. They've been doing this since 1934, so they certainly know what they are talking about.

This partnership is backed up by real engineering, and experience of shooting actors. We did the same shoot with equally talented photographer Borgy Angeles a few weeks ago, and with a Harcourt Studio filter, you can expect dramatic results.

SMART OMEGA Empress takes on female ML gaming to the next level by using HONOR 200 phones in their games, promising eSports athletes!

JBL is making sure you get the best audio experience by throwing in a Php 9,499 worth the JBL Soundgear Frames when you pre-order!

The new phone make portraits like the real thing. It enhances the shot with Harcourt vibrant portrait style, classic and black and white. It's something that exudes emotion on photos, pretty good feature for phones that is photo-centric. It also has AI Creation through an update soon, something to look forward to in the near future. 

It also will have AI eraser so if you are shooting in a crowd, it's gonna disappear instantly. An AI Portrait Master. Design wise, they did it in matte and glossy, so the colors shine on its back cover. It has Super Vivid Display, dynamic dimming so you don't experience screen irritation. Uses Honor Eye Comfort display technology and Snapdragon 83 Gen 3, making it more powerful than its predecessors. It also has better fps when gaming, uses Silicon Carbon batteries able to charge 50 percent in 15 minutes. This is through 66W Supercharge ability, and that's just the start.

I've used the phone quite a lot these past few weeks on our coverages and shooting celebrities, so far, I love the photo quality especially the portraits I take. It does make a lot of difference when you use an HONOR phone, the HONOR 200 5G and the HONOR 200 5G Pro might be your best bet when you plan to get a new one. Check their social channels for more information, but in my books, the portraits produce drama... something that you should consider if you often take photos of yourself or other people. Some really good AI functionality will be added on updates soon, something that's exciting to see soon!

Get Ready for "Bountiful Blooms": The 1st Philippine International Flower Festival

If you are fond of flowers, flower arrangements, science and the art, you're about to get a happy pill this coming September as the 1st Philippine International Flower Festival entitled "BOUNTIFUL BLOOMS" happens at the SPACE at One Ayala in Makati City.

Convenor Jerry Sibal says "This is the first International Flower Festival. On September 19-22, our homeland will be the place to hold PHILIFF where floral designers, landscaping, trade show, exhibit for ikebana, the art of Bonsai, and Orchids. This will also be the venue for a Fashion Show together with international artists. Last year, I told them about the Flower Festival, and we now have people from the government and the private sector to help me make it happen. This Bloombee here is simple, but we are making a full bloomed one in September, so you better be back soon. In Atok Benguet, we have a huge cut flower industry and putting them into the 40 Billion dollar global export market will surely boost the industry. Aside from these, we are also trying to promote local farm tourism, and grow flowers like Tulips, those from New York locally through hydroponics. We have 350 flower farms all over the country. We also need to educate through forums, you'll be surprised how fast this would grow."

There will also be Floral Art Installations, the whole second Floor of One Ayala will be having over 80 booths, 4 huge displays in the center and the floral fashion show installation.

Table pieces will also be showcased as part of the design for entertaining and this will be historical. This is Sibal's way of giving back, to the industry and country. He will also be displaying a few well loved PH bred Waling Waling at the exhibit, dedicated to the orchid lovers and collectors.

DITO Mobile Offers Postpaid FLEXPlans

Looks like DITO Mobile is aggressively taking on mobile networks as they offer new prepaid offers through their new FLEXPlans, but made more affordable with different options.

SIM Only or with a Phone

FLEXPlan 388 for example is a SIM Only plan so if you have an existing phone, you can just get the sim. This would make you save because you don't have to shell out money for the monthly payment of a handset. Although with DITO, you can get the handsets in affordable terms too. Either or, you get Unlimited 5G data connection or set data packages from authorized stores nationwide.

You can also opt for premium handsets if you prefer one, to each his own. Here's a preview on my IG reel.

Senator Loren Legarda Issues Statement on Philippine-Japan RAA

About a week ago, the Philippines and Japan signed an agreement which they call RAA (Reciprocal Access Agreement) which would make it possible for Filipino soldiers to train in Japan as part of their defense cooperation. Honorable Senator Loren Legarda is serving her 4th term, and this landmark agreement will surely be affecting a lot of our decisions and foreign policies. Here's a statement from the environmental superhero:

Seeing the positive impact of this particular agreement and advantages especially for the Pacific region and national security, our allies certainly will be instrumental in making sure we won't get bullied in our own turf. The Senator's support for the ratification of this agreement in the Senate will become instrumental in the formalization of its terms, and hopefully would become advantageous to both parties in this very volatile time.

Here's to championing not just environmental causes, but issues of national interest! Cheers!
