Say Hello to New Streaming Platform FUN UNLIMITED

The Filipino hunger for content has evidently increased in recent years and why not, that pandemic certainly has given us more reason to enjoy things like streaming apps. This is why media companies are also changing their ways, starting from digitizing their movies and shows, libraries from big production houses to independent ones. It has also given folks the option of watching from their own homes, or even anywhere they please because it's convenient on tablets or even their phones. This is the reason why FUN UNLIMITED was born. It's moniker is F. U., very easy to recall. They've got local and international content plus a lot of genres you can consume. 

This includes drama, comedy, action, romance, even those for mature audiences. Some of which tackled things that would sometime educate you, all in the form of edutainment. 

For starters, they have movies stsrting with Rebound, Survive, Redcon 1, Alone, Shadow of God, Champion, Alone, Champion, The Wrath, Instant Death, Uranus and so much more. For the mature audiences they've got titles that would tickle your fancy, to answer those questions you're raring to ask behind closed doors (also actress Salome Salvi and Ms. Myra Manibog). There's also comedy titles from social media stars like Bernie Batin and his other role as Lola AI. If you're also fond of Mr. FU, he's got a show called Files Unlocked plus other titles you'll enjoy!

Make sure you get FUN UNLIMITED once it comes out. It's from the guys at Maralabs and will be available starting August 8th in Google Play Store and the App Store!

GLOBE Outs "First Move" for Globe One App

June is Pride Month and it's always the perfect time to celebrate and push for representation in different fields. This 2022, Globe has always been about "Making Everyday Beautiful" and recently, they released an LGBTQIA+ themed film called "First Move" for their Globe One App. Aside from bringing services closer to Filipinos, they're making it worthwhile creatively and see how they could put the LGBTQIA+ cause in the forefront, and they've managed to put together people in front and behind the camera that also belong in this sector, putting action to words they uttered. For context, the Producer, the stars, the writers and director are LGBT members, and they're putting out a series of commercials that showcase love, relationships, human subjects that also use the Globe One App and the multitude of features it has. 

Director JP Habac says "Gone are the days of depicting LGBTQIA+ in sterotypical ways like being flamboyant, girly, or merely driving a Mio. We are taking on this challenge of making it current, including those for bisexuals and lesbians too."

PJB Group Creative Director Bia Fernandez adds "This is our attempt to normalize those in the LGBTQIA+ sector to appear in ads so people can see real life experiences. This is real representation, not just on a single holiday, they are truly part of the brand."

This is a great way to break barriers, and inform people about an app that can monitor data, manage your accounts, avail promos too. Download it through the app store or Google Play. Verify it by registering and putting your one time pin, prepaid or post paid, this takes care of your accounts. Go watch them in Globe assets and online channels. 

 

How can you not love Globe after that?

REDDOORZ App Starts Philippine Operations

Red is something that tied up all the nations in Asia (as mostly all flags have that color in one way or form), this is something they knew would be a good term that would tie up the properties they have in the app. They wanted to be far from the term hotel and make RedDoorz a byline if a person wants to rent off a room that is not pricey. They want it to also to cater to everyday people like you and me. Soon, they will also have backpackers properties in the mix and yes it’s available for download now on Google Play and the App Store. If you haven’t yet, get the RedDoorz app on your phone. 

CEO Mr Amit Saberwal says “We are a multinational company, we are delighted to be part of the Philippines. The most engaged market, a young population that is growing, which is our core market, together with Indonesia, Singapore and now the Philippines, we want to be part of that. As of now we have 31 employees, we use technology as our way of doing business dealing with 2-3 star properties who don’t have the resources as the bigger ones to make them connected with their audience, the milennial travellers. Our business identifies where we have demand and put there our supplies. We are big in artificial intelligence, we optimize the price, catering to business and leisure. We thrive in the domestic market and our brand play a big role in customers that go back to properties. The Philippines is the second fastest growing internet market and most people access data in wifi, soon it will all be mobile. Travel online market is big, we have 500 properties in 16 cities. We are excited to be in the Philippines.”

Their COO Rishabh Singhe adds “The Philippines is different and our team is local so we try and solve their travel issues locally too in an ecosystem that is easy, at affordable prices. They are staying in prime locations, but we do it with value for money properties in the same area. We have standards, we give them a checklist so if they do not qualify they have to upgrade. We have an app, a website, all channels, you also get earn points and use Red Cash to book the next time. You don’t need to use a credit card and get perks for members, we start engaging before your stay, while you stay and after your stay. If you are a 150 feet from the owner, they get alerted, you also get free wifi, water, and automatic when you arrive in the system. It is convenient. We would like to understand Metro Manila first then urban business centers elsewhere in other cities in the Philippines soon. The level we operate is value for money, RedDoorz, RedDoorz Plus and RedDoorz Premium. We have  24 hour local support, we keep it simple as possible.”

Former Congressman Tony Leviste of Batangas says “I want to congratulate RedDoorz and anything that help boost it is welcome. Budget hotels lack the technology and they are starting to sell it to the world, they will have that to answer as a partner of RedDoorz which is in Makati. My hotel has limited rooms, but have really huge malls around me, tourism and share holders like me will have really good properties. I’m a bit behind technology, but this is a good start.”

For what it’s worth, I like how they thought about catering to a well traveled and budget conscious market. In fact, they made everything simple, stress free and be of standard before they even get to have it in their app. That’s a good thing, when this explodes in Manila think of all the businesses it could help plus the convenience of staying if there’s monstrous traffic in Manila as they have done this in Jakarta. 

I’ll try this out soon, hope it’s going to be a nice experience.

Say Hello To TIKTOK Philippines

Tiktok Philippines

A few weeks ago, I was seeing weird videos being shared on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter made from an app called TIKTOK on iOS and Google Play. It’s a tiny short video platform which is already popular in other countries and is taking the Philippines by storm. What better way to write about this that to actually experience it myself (YOU CAN ADD MY TIKTOK ID KUMAGCOW) because really, this is a whole lotta fun!

Mind you this breaks the norm as you can now perform with your favorite artists (local and international) because Baninay, Awra, Pamela Swing and lovely Korean/KPOP artists are all here on the platform. That only means you can do the #DuetWithMe challenge wherein you can sing or perform with them in split screen modes and edit the audio, video, its filters right on the app itself without any hitches.

Now if I were you, I’d start early and add myself to the thousands of users in TIKTOK Philippines because I felt that I was already late when I joined, adding KUMAGCOW on your friends list and watching/liking my videos there too would be nice hahaha!

You may download the TIKTOK App on the App Store or Google Play or via http://m.onelink.me/77e54e3b so hurry now!

It’s really super fun!

Making Real Estate Easy with HOPPLER

Got invited to the Hoppler launch in Makati. Apparently, they’ve got a better business deal for anyone who has a knack in the real estate property business. Property listings are by the thousands each day and not everyone gets the slice of the cake. Hoppler actually makes it easy to get everything online for you.

Alvier Marqueses the Marketing Manager of Hoppler says “We started 2014 as a startup. Getting leads as brokerage firm, we saw potential in mass producing what we do. We employed brokers once but our operations cost increased, so we opened this to external partner business to grow our own business. We are an online brokerage firm and we have a lot of things in store for you, we also show that there are real people behind our partners. This is the latest in real estate.”

Ramon Gonzalez the COO of Hoppler says “We are an online property brokerage, digitizing the local brokerage industry and we engage in clients and brokers. These days it’s hard to find properties and we have lots of buyers. Hoppler wants you to find both. We are not a subscriber based listing, we do not limit listings and even have listing programs for incentives to those who have a lot of them on our app. We spend a lot in marketing it, we give you leads and help in converting it as a sale and we are excited to bring more brokers to our platform. We are coming out with a whole year of events so our partners could make more money. We are coming out with series of seminars on real estate laws to improve knowledge of our brokers."

He adds "We are focusing on prime properties now but in the next few years we will expand metro-wide, mega manila wide so we enjoin partner brokers to join us now. We do not also do multiple listings so in a way we also protect consumers and brokers, we build relationships, properly document everything. If a broker already posted the property, you won’t have competition. Right now we have client services so we call and verify each property and we treat each case differently, it’s a lead generating platform that has a brokerage arm, it’s why we’re different. We are now live at www.hoppler.com.ph and we are concentrating in properties in Makati, BGC and Alabang. We’re mostly a brokerage firm but have trust based systems, we meet them face to face and you’ll see people in every property managed. You will find us ranking high in searches, and we have closed deals.”

Partner Broker Jeffrey Sanchez testifies “It only takes a few minutes to list a property and you can expect verification and calls in like 2-3 days because Hoppler has a lot of clients. If we close deals our share is 50/50 with Hoppler but it’s very easy. I prefer going to the website more than the app but if I need to do minor edits it’s also easy to make changes. With Hoppler I don’t have to make an effort because they already have a lot of active users, leads are easy, even more if it’s a prime property. With hard work and a vision, it will complement what you are currently doing right now with what existing real estate business you have. Here you have leads and qualified clients and brokers even share their success stories, you learn a lot talking and meeting people with different backgrounds, but they know they can trust people in the site because of the safety measures they’ve set in every transaction.”

Follow their Facebook page HopplerPH if you want to know more. This would apply to licensed and non licensed brokers. It’s an open invitation for everyone who wants to earn more. Remember, with Hoppler you can list properties with exclusivity, receive quality and qualified leads. You can also have access to their Kumita dashboard and join exclusive training and events, where else can you have that?

I thought so.

No More GIFT Guessing Games with Things I Like App

Have you ever had that situation when you're going to a friend's party but didn't know what to give them for a gift? Either they're too rich to actually be given one or in many cases, you just don't have a clue. Well that's about to change now that the Things I Like App is here! 

It's from a tech company based in Hong Kong and this is to solve that problem. This is also a way to give back to friends, loved ones, to interact with celebrities that you love, and it could be the way they could also do the same with you. This would be the perfect platform to also advertise so if you're an entrepreneur or online shop, this would be a good place to put your products in. People can monitor other people's wishlists and get reminders a few days before the actual event, so they never forget it and even prepare advanced greetings with customizeable (change text, photos and frames, make it compiled in a video) e-cards if they need too - plus the service is free of charge.

I registered today and it was so easy.

The app also includes ways to follow people, like celebrities, public figures and you can even give them gifts if you place requests. Details like addresses can be kept confidential so there's no security risks. Think of it as a combination of an app and gift registry we used to do in malls.

You can also keep track of your friends and family's birthdates. You'll be notified of it and you could just look at their profiles for their own wish lists. If you haven't decided yet but you like what you see in other people/celebrity profiles, just repost it and it'll end up in yours.

Best of all, you won't miss a birthday because you can set personal reminders before the actual day starts.

It's already available on the App Store and Google Play. You can buy it online or in the mall, request for their address and send it there. Now gift giving can be more efficient, even more now that you can see what your loved ones would want and need. When people enjoy the app, you get to know their buying habits and you won't have to think what the other person would need if it's already there. It's like an easy gift registry where you instantly know just by looking at their profile. 

For now they are developing the app for more features in the future. Purchases will still be done on actual websites and once you post the link on the app, it'll automatically have a thumbnail and copy the details on the post. Seems like Christmas shopping would be easy using this. 

You may download them today on iOS

PHILAM Life #LiveBetter Expo!

Living better is total wellness. Eating healthy, working on your fitness, your mind and also planning for your future. Promoting living better as their mantra, insurance company Philam Life is launching the #LiveBetter EXPO. A caravan which they will take places so people would be able to learn how to prepare for our future, secure it, with a matching vitality program by rewarding you for keeping yourself healthy. 

So during the expo, we had ourselves checked by a dietician. She computed for my BMI or body mass index and told me what I should eat. I needed more veggies of course but I'm in a diet which is quite close to Keto. So scratch that thought becaus I'm eating meat! Haha.

"Our activities are based on our four pillars. Working out, the proper nutrition, insurance and financial intelligence. We will make sure this goes out to other parts of Manila, and later the country." -Berns Chincuangco of Philam Life

For a bit of wise decisions, they also had us promise a few health goals. I did something straight to the point. I've been in yoyo diets and it's keeping me okay sometimes, but a bit overweight in some instances. So I'm promising not to get fat by eating the right kind of meals when I can.

There were partner brands that were there too. They have discounts during the event but fret not, they have these guys in the PhilAm Vitality app which you can avail too. I liked what The Body Shop, Garmin and Tobys Sports had on display and if you're working out with the app, you'll get different perks like that.

They also got us to do different activities from Gold's Gym. They wanted us to ultimately live healthy lives while we're under PhilAm Life Insurance. 

Speaking of which, they explained to us that with the PhilAm Vitality app, you could get more perks and higher rewards if you keep yourself healthy. That's unheard of in the insurance business, but makes total sense. If you don't get sick, if you don't have problems with your health, you'll live longer and make use of your insurance money for more financially adept investments because you're okay. 

They had guest stars during the event and they shared their experience. "I started because I wanted to live a better life and I was unhappy, I just sticked to my goals and said it's now or never! -Raymond Gutierrez

"The older you get, the difficult it is but it's better to start than not to start at all. I workout a lot but also rest and take vacations. I eat right but also cheat every once in a while, so it's just a balance that we have to do in order to be healthy." -Solenn Heussaff

"You need to enjoy the journey, I look forward to working out everyday because I am very passionate about it. It takes an hour everyday to get to your fitness goals. Make time for your self, for your body because you will benefit from it." -Nico Bolzico

So download the Philam Life Vitality App and see one of their representatives to avail of their products. They will also introduce you to investments (aside from yourself) so you can take care of your future. That's Philam Life!

Stay tuned for more Philam Life #LiveBetter Expos that's going around the country soon! Follow their social media channels for more information!

Products for Men Abound Shopee Swag Night with JC Santos

I have always been a very keen shopper at Shopee and if you haven't downloaded this from Google Play or the App Store, boy you must have been under a rock. Anyway they held their Shopee Swag Night a couple of weeks ago and I totally forgot about this until someone liked my IG photo today. You see, Shopee is amping up their choices for Men this season because honestly, it's not just the girls who shop in this app. Did you know that men comprise about 45% of the sales in this app? Me too because I made that up, but my point is there are a lot of men who buy stuff for themselves while in the comforts of their homes because goin out with the girlfriend is always a chore, men don't want to wait for hours and honestly, the manner on how we shop is different. We usually go to a shop knowing what we want, get it and go. We don't spin around in circles like women do, well most of the time.

Anyway, during the event I saw lots of things that would be perfect for guys especially the gadgets and gizmos that would probably fit your adventurous and outdoorsy lifestyle. I saw the latest GoPro Hero 5 sold cheaper than the usual mall prices with this vendor right here. They also have non GoPro branded adventure cameras that would fit anybody's budget because it's easier with the app as they also feature chat services wherein you can haggle the price. I bought several Christmas gifts here and the dealer gave me a 40% discount, so just ask nicely and who knows they might just budge.

HP even has their own line of gaming and wierless bluetooth speakers, wireless accessories, laptop bags and OMEN gaming gear available in the app or the website so if you're looking for original things, they've go that covered.

Now aside from that, there are even some cool grooming products and equipement you can buy off the store, they almost have special sales all the time and can also deliver for FREE if you get to buy things of Php500 or more. Sometimes even lower. So really, there's no reason why you shouldn't try the Shopee app today because aside from the cheap prices, they even have tons of discount coupons to give away just so you could buy that perfect thing for your boyfriends or girlfriends on your next anniversary. Heck I even saw JC Santos during the event as he endorsed the mens products storewide.

He was really very nice too and accomodating, even if this was the first time I've ever met him (oh yes I have yet to interview him for his upcoming shows soon!)

So drop everything that you are doing and download the app now. Believe me, even if this looks so upscale for you, it's like Divisoria on steroids when I tried it. So don't be afraid of shopping online as they have safeguards to make sure you get what you need without breaking the bank, fast and securely too.
