Vietnam's Best Coffee Brand Trung Nguyen Legend Introduces G7 Coffee in the Philippines

Coffee lovers in Manila are in for a treat as Vietnam's number one coffee brand Trung Nguyên Legend is now in the Philippines. Their launch coincided with their brand intro for G7 Instant Coffee at the annual World Bazaar Festival which is happening at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. Dubbed as The Coffee That Changes Life, they're raring to make Filipinos taste the stronger brew that is known around the world in instant form, in beans or x2 strong!

The event was also attended by the Trung Nguyen Group executives including Nguyen Nguyen, from Vietnam. He says "We hope the G7 brand would help the economy, as it brings harmony in food and beverage in Asia, and the Philippines this Q4. We hope to focus the release of it in this region and be loved by Filipinos. The G7 name was actually gotten from the group of countries, in hopes that Vietnam be placed the same as them too. We have a friendship that spans years, we understand each other more. We have a strategic partner now. I have good relationships with Filipinos in Ho Chi Minh as well, we almost have the same coffee culture."

Miguel Paulo Salazar the Deputy GM of DyGen Food Ventures Inc. says "Today we are here to witness a new milestone, a lot of consumers are buying G7 coffee from Vietnam. We are formally introducing the distribution of the G7 brand. We are excited to be your exclusive partner and bring G7, it's quality, value and the bold unique flavor of Vietnamese coffee. Why did we bring the brand? We think the Filipino is ready for something new, we are offering everyday luxury like sipping a cup of coffee in Saigon. Filipinos will welcome the brand and it's successful future!"

He adds "The price will be competitive, probably similar to market leaders. In the near future, we are keen on opening shops in the near future so more people get to try this."

G7 has been well loved in different global summits in the West and Asia, and is now present in over 100 countries including the US, Japan, China, Korea and many more. Their beans have been sourced from Jamaica, Brazil, Ethiopia, and Buon Ma Thuot province in Vietnam. They also have G7 Pure Black, (part of G7 Pure Soluble line), G7 Strong X2 and a whole lot more. I've had the chance to taste it including the x2, and it was enough to keep me awake til 2am lolol!

Trung Nguyen Legend will be available soon on online platforms including the Trung Nguyen Legend Philippines FB page and DygenFood socials.

LUMOS DAYSTAR Projector Review: When Bright Ideas Come to Life!

Life has been happening lately. We've been thankful to receive lots of work, getting very aggressive in socials and trying to squeeze in work-life balance if time permits. During the work week (and the holidays!), we've had several meetings and presentations, conferences to cover, where visual aids are a norm and still a necessity. Good thing there's the LUMOS DAYSTAR (found conveniently online at www.lumosprojector.ph/DAYSTAR).

I remember being armed with a phone and a projector during a seminar I facilitated in a Manila based university, it felt like a way to give back to my alma mater to make the event more engaging and fun. 

Most of these events though had us arrange to have lights out, very conventional (and may I say old school). Since their projectors were a bit dated, it was doubly hard to set up, or connect to the internet, let alone find wireless connections nor speakers built in. 

LUMOS DAYSTAR is a game changer, as it does all of these and more! It's a bit bigger than the other LUMOS products I've used which immediately make me think this is more powerful. The device also supports 4K resolution and can also be used in broad daylight (hence the name). One unique feature I've seen while setting it up was the way it does Auto Keystone Correction and Auto Focus so you get sharp images on screen the moment you turn it ON. While most projectors do 1000-3000 lumens, the LUMOS DAYSTAR does 3000-5000 ANSI lumens, something that can do presentations, your favorite movies and games seen even on brighter settings. 

I personally use it to cast what I have on my phone to the projector using Miracast which only takes a few steps. If you're in a hurry for presentations, this would be the something you'd love since sliced bread. I also watched movies with it, and also screen some of the most interesting interviews I had with the brightest actors and actresses in the country. I didn't need to hook it up to external ones as it has dual built-in speakers for a more immersive effect. The HDMI, USB, AV ports were handy to make sure those PC connections get accommodated. It also supports Ethernet (for wired connections), WiFi and Bluetooth if you want a wireless setup instead (especially if you don't like clutter and want it to become a permanent fixture in your room). You don't even need a huge space to put this in. It can fit on desks, even on ceilings, or side platforms on your room.

 

Best thing about this is that it's so bright, it can be used even when there's actual DAYLIGHT. Even if you're in a well lighted room, details stay amazing!

 

Design wise, it's beautiful. No unnecessary lines, has easy to clean filters, and a stand to tilt and direct to the wall. If you prefer a bigger and brighter projector, the LUMOS DAYSTAR would certainly fit the bill. They just recently launched this and costs Php 15,999 with discounts on shipping too. It's a good premium gift for a family. You may order one here https://www.lumosprojector.ph/products/lumos-daystar.

It's a bright idea that just came true! 

SHOPEE's Top Livestreamer JAMES AFANTE Shares Secrets to Success: Plans BIGGER 12.12

Shopee has certainly increased their presence over the years and remain bullish. With the eve of affiliate marketing and live selling, a Filipino stands as champion. His name is JAMES AFANTE, popularly known as Kuya James in his socials. He tops the list of people who have done remarkable work in this industry and we got to talk to him yesterday as he prepared for this month's 12.12. If you think the previous months were crazy, he's giving away a total of 2 Custom Tricycles, 4 motorbikes, and so much more today on his live sessions.

James started in the industry when he was only 14. Using different platforms, he engaged with people and sold just about anything that he could get his hands on. When he began doing it on the Orange app, he partnered up with friends and started training people. In his mind, he had the confidence to do it, knew that this particular work had his name all over it, and that had a remarkable effect on the people that learned from him. Livestreaming was something he did by accident when no one was left in their office to do it, and it went viral.

I picked his brain a little by asking why he doesn't sell his own products (so he could earn it all) and he said "A lot of people ask me about that, but in E-Commerce, you invest your money on stocks and where to put it. This was a huge problem for me and those who are in the same shoes. When something happens like the pandemic or any accident, you'll be left with nothing and a huge debt. With affiliate marketing, you do not have risks on your capital, (costs of storage and manpower for logistics), and I can sell thousands without thinking about space because the brands that work with him already handles that. I can see products if they can sell, sometimes I don't know how I ended up being the top livestreamer. I put in the extra work, I was part of production design, checking prices, every detail, I am concerned. This is a tool to perform better, and I also listen to my followers. What they want, that's what I must do. These products are what they consistently buy from me, only the best, prices will also be subjected to vouchers this 12.12."

He adds "This 12.12, I will be doing the largest livestream ever in the Philippines and in the region. I believe these efforts are also what I can do for the brands that trust me, including customers too. These bikes behind us also came from my own pocket, it's a way to give back to my community."

His advice for those who would want to follow his footsteps: "Work really really hard, work harder than anyone, then everything will follow. Everything starts with the work you put in, if you do things correctly, with passion, and you know that you are giving your 100 percent, you'll achieve what you want! This applies to any industry out there!"

Check out our interview with him before he went live last December 11:

His live stream is fun, entertaining to watch and you'll even forget that you're already checking out items on your cart. He promises that you'll have vouchers, free delivery and more surprises when you check out products from his stream. Plus the lowest prices from brands you already love! 

Thank you James for sharing your story, here's hoping we get to be part of that big 12.12 celebration today!
