INC and NET 25 Holds CARE FOR HUMANITY (Lingap Sa Mamamayan) Activity Worldwide

PEBA (Philippine Entertainment Bloggers Association) was invited by NET25 to a celebration of INC's Eduardo Manalo's birthday through an activity called CARE FOR HUMANITY (Lingap Sa Mamamayan). The executive minister remembered the media practitioners and felt the industry also needed help. This goes the same with other sectors, for the differently abled, senior citizens, all of which are close to the INC. 

This is worldwide so this is simultaneously happening in other countries and continents like Africa. This can be seen on their channel and social accounts so if you want to delve more into it. You can watch bits of it on the channel NET 25.

They also have organizations that hire employees from the PWD sector. Look at the gorgeous spread they did during the event.

NET 25's Creative Consultant Ms. Wilma Galvante says "I experienced Lingap last year in Quezon City, and I would never forget the experience of doing that. This year, they're taking it internationally and I am so honored to be part of it on the birthday of Ka Eduardo Manalo."

They are taking Lingap sa Mamamayan to other countries via their INC network. Brothers and Sisters of the INC will take up what they have and share it to various communities around the world. What a way to celebrate a leader's birthday! This should inspire more people to do the same.

ROKID AI and AR Glasses Arrive in the Philippines: Wearable Tech Access for All!

Things are certainly becoming accessible as one of the worlds largest companies of AI and AR smart glasses arrive in the Philippines. They're called ROKID and will be entirely accessible to Filipinos via The Loop which is part of the Powermac organization. I've experienced using it first hand during the event and I really like it!

Nicole Remiter from The Loop says "We are a multi brand apple and non apple seller. We are growing and expanding our products, and we now have Rokid for AI and AR innovation. It is for traveling, entertainment, navigation and other services. It will be available at the Loop Ayala mall branches. You can experience it in our stores now."

Alex Yuen from Rokid Global HK says "We are from Unity Tech and now have presence in 6 countries. We are launching these products and so far the response has been very good. We have 500 users in Taiwan for this single product. With Powemac and The Loop, our devices will reach our customers in the Philippines."

Justo Chang acknowledged how Rokid has been adopted as part of big corporations AR solutions. Over 70 percent Chinese automotive brands that use new energy  are also using it. 

It has open ear audio, take photos (some models), record videos, utilizing YodaOS , they also are recognized by top tech award giving bodies. I also heard they're doing a partnership with Vision Express in case you need to have actual eyeglasses for the frames. 45 min recording, 6 hours music playback, 4 hours Bluetooth calling, ideally one charge per day under moderate use. It also has the ability to record at 60 fps if you want to vlog with it.

Alex added "The current AI feature of the glasses include listening to music, record videos, take photos, key in questions to chatgpt. Here's a Chinese menu from a restaurant, I ask Rokid to translate it from Chinese to Filipino. So it could be any language you want, use it for other scenarios like identifying dog breeds, as it takes real world photos and push information that's understandable. It can also translate real time. We could also translate from Tagalog to Chinese (Mandarin). You just need the Rokid glasses and it'll listen, help you simplify many functions. It can also transcribe, a very powerful function for meetings. Simple instructions can do. It can also be used as a teleprompter like what we are doing now. I don't have to memorize, it listens to your speech and scroll up automatically. Use sliding motions on the side and it could go back to the start of the speech if it jumps while speaking. The AR Navigator has an actual map, much like Google maps. We tried it in HK and it won't block your vision while driving. Later on, it will work with Alipay by scanning the code and approving the payment. It does have a lot of applications possible, it can recognize voice for payment too. With this your life will change."

Macgyver Yu says "You see what Rokid can do with AI, let me introduce Rokid AR Spatial where you can play games and watch movies at the same time. You can also use this for zoom meetings, everything in private. Your screen is only seen by you. Your lifestyle will evolve. (Shows us posting on social media, watching movies, playing games). It's powerful, almost all applications work with it. The Rokid is also myopia friendly, you don't need glasses because you can adjust focus. Whether you are seated or lying down, you can watch more via Giant Screen mode. Like watching at a 300 inch screen. In sports mode, you can see how it is stable while moving. It would be best while working out. It has a 6 hour battery life, you need to experience it."

The impact of this is certainly life changing. If you think about it, we're just barely scratching the surface of what the AI and AR glasses can do. The application for PWD's, for those who cannot see or hear is within reach. Add to that, the things that Filipino developers can do with the same technology this brings is something that we can be excited about. Again, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and hopefully we all could get a dose of these really good wearables soon. I personally like the one for gaming and the one with the Smart TV. I'll try and ask if I could review one. 

S & J Beauty Welcomes MAX COLLINS and ANTHONY CONSTANTINO

This evening we had the chance to be with the folks from S&J Beauty, a company that is in the business of cosmetics and personal care. While fairly new in the industry, their Glowboss Jhazz Bonifacio has taken the brand into success with innovative products that brings users that beautiful glow.

Today, they introduced two of the most gorgeous faces in GMA's stable to become full pledged endorsers for the brand. The hunky and good looking actor Anthony Constantino and GMA Primetime actress Max Collins.

Ms. Jhazz Bonifacio welcomed us at the event and said "I was nervous, but I didn't expect this. I am the CEO and Founder of S & J. This is for anyone and everyone who wanted to boost their confidence. Thank you very much for being here!"

She saw the struggle of men and women about skin. She wants to address real skin problems with products from Japan. They now also have drinks that can complement what the skin needs.

Ms. Jhazz says "It's a big event for A and J beauty and I see the hard work that they put in. I personally use our products and I see how it works."

S & J beauty blends help with weight management and boost the immune system. It also aids in collagen production, reduce stress, support mental alertness, muscle growth and gives you a boost of energy. My personal favorite is the Milky Melon as it has anti inflammatory effects. Hydration, focus, energy and radiance. If you nourish the inside, you'll glow on the outside!

The drinks are available in Milky Avocado, Curvee Coffee, Cucumber Lemonade and Milky Melon. Max says "Being a mom there are only a few things that make you happy. I'm very busy, I have businesses, work in showbiz and I am a little tired at the end of the day. My Curvy Coffee is something that makes me curb appetite. I've known Jhazz for a while now and she wants to make sure we get what we need in daily work. It's also something that aligns with my values. I don't endorse products that I don't believe in. I also look for brands that empower women. We make better versions of ourselves and that's what I look for in endorsing brands. Before I met Ms. Jhazz, I researched and asked about it. I knew how passionate she is, she wants to empower other women even if she is already successful."

They also had a few more Glow friends (KOL's) as part of the S & J beauty family. It was a fun night to get to know the folks from S & J, congratulations to Max and Anthony, surely this wouldn't be the last of your endorsements!
