VERDE Creatives Starts "Equality Champions: Magandang Laban" Pride Month Exhibit

I dread the commercialization of holidays, and June as Pride Month is no exception. Just like them, I feel it should be celebrated everyday. It should be celebrated, but not forget the reason why it is being done. There have been countless lives that have fought for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ sector, and that still is being done to this day. With the non passage of the SOGIE Equality bill alone in the Philippines, there has been progress, but still, a long way to go.

Verde Creatives thought of bringing organizations together to start putting a face on the LGBTQIA+ cause. It's high time to get people see their valiant efforts and set an example on why they now need to be seen. After 25 years of having the SOGIE Bill in the congress and senate, it still hasn't been passed. What's funny is that their call is only for EQUALITY. The same right that every Juan and Juana enjoys, and even compromised on a lot of the sections of the bill. Seeing it be discussed every year is tiring, and these individuals are now presenting themselves, simply to note that there are real people behind the cause. 

Ms. Bemz of Verde Creatives says "We are being left behind and we have a long path ahead. In this photo campaign, we have several of our peers and allies including Senator Loren Legarda, Representative Geraldine Roman, Lenlen Alonte, Kababaihan Partylist Kate Coseteng and more. This includes various LGBT associations to join us in this campaign. We are putting these brave faces to make sure we involve ourselves in a very worthy cause."

Vashti of the Society of Trans Women in the Philippines (STRAP) says "I'm excited for this campaign as it showcases our experience, including Ms. Bemz and Verde Creatives, to support bills in congress so we can claim our rights. It should not stop our cause, including the SOGIE bill."

Ang Ladlad Partylist lead Dexter Macaldo adds "Equality champions in images brings stories of strength, of who you are, showing your beauty and individuality. This is to strengthen the LGBT voice, to bring change. This collaboration hopes to inspire others to also show their truth, in a more accepting society. Thank you Verde Creatives and other organizations for being here."

Ms. Maria Barbie Arcache of 1LGBT Pilipinas says "I would like to congratulate this event, it's something really amazing. I've known you for decades and in my life, I didn't think it's just pageants, but there's more to that. You can share that beauty in your heart, in 2 and a half decades, I've done pageants and now that I'm retired, I still want to share that advocacy. We cannot be stagnant, we need to fill that space and find your purpose in this world. We are here to move and shake the world, in the aspects of human rights. It's about time we show our faces. I am proud to be part of this campaign, we are all proud to be human and masterpieces of God."

Here's the press conference on video:

Here's a showcase of the photos they unveiled that evening:

This is just the start of even more things they plan to do to push for the great causes they want to support. They'll be front, center, and putting their own faces to fight for the rights of LGBTQIA+ folks, to make sure there will be no stopping til equality happens, and their rights be given. 

This event was held at the Dark Roast Coffeehouse in Maginhawa. A great ally for the cause.

Midrange Phone with Flagship Features: HONOR 90 5G

My HONOR 90 5G shot, image compressed by FB, but still stunning no?

HONOR Philippines just set the bar high as far in phone launches. This statement remains true until the next one happens.

Took the trip to Bataan to shoot a couple of photos and videos to showcase the new HONOR 90 5G. It's a mid range phone built with flagship features. You kinda immediately wonder if they're still earning from putting in a 200MP Matrix Camera in this thin body, but it all did fit and even got several features included, all for the price of Php 24,999. So the question in your head probably is thinking, is it all worth it?

A flyby surprised us during the launch. Took a shot of it from the front of our villa.

It's got a 12GB + 512 GB capacity, 5000mAh battery, a new system in eye protection, a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Accelerated Edition processor, NFC capable, GPU Turbo X for your games, a 50 MP Selfie camera, and a 200 MP Main one that can rival the best phones out there for photos. So we ventured on a day of taking shots in broad daylight, during play (Basketball and ATV's), on a Speedboat, during Sunset and lastly on the fireworks which they lit up beach side. This was quite a challenge, and much of the folks there weren't professional photographers, yet there were a lot of the shots that ended up quite amazing!

Here's part of what happened during the launch last August 15!

 

Yes, all those features for the medium range price. I even saw some of your favorite stars (hi EA Guzman, Shaira Diaz, Pauline Amelinckx, Brent Valdez, Kate Valdez, Klea Pineda + Katrice Kierulf, Bruce Roeland, Matthew Uy, and several of HONOR's influencers carrying the same phone and doing good work with it.

What's good is that they're making this available in the market for Php 24,999 and throwing in a JBL Flip 6 Speaker worth Php 7,499 (where available) if you pre-order til the 25th of this month. So make sure you do get one if you're in the look for a new photo centric phone. Aside from that, HOME CREDIT is offering this at 0% interest, so really, there's no excuse for not having it.

I'd like to take this bit of thanking the men and women from HONOR Philippines who made this experience possible. I had so much fun! Again, congratulations HONOR Philippines! You've outdone yourselves!

Dreaming Big: Tadeo Paras

Meet Tadeo Paras, a 25 year old fashion photographer born and raised in the Philippines. He graduated from De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde and went to the US in 2019 to finish his masters in business at San Diego, California.

His fascination with movies came at an early age and he has always wondered how films were made. He says "I love how stories are being depicted on the silver screen and how it's being told." He had opportunities to act in top rating drama series in ABSCBN like "Wildflower" (during 2018) and "Nang Ngumiti ang Langit" (in 2019).  With this experience, his passion grew even bigger over the years.

He was also inspired by the work of Gordon von Steiner, one of the most sought after photographers in the world. His work consists of the who's who of international brands, supermodels, celebrities and a throng of unbelievable fashion spreads in Vogue Italia, and other countries. He's also done remarkable work in video editorials, working with gargantuan photographers in the field which is why he's obsessed with him and his craft.

Putting in the work, Paras is currently studying film making at Santa Monica College in the US. He plans to pursue further studies in other universities and augment skills in fashion photography. He dreams to become one soon and says "I've seen how the west does film projects and the difference in storytelling, the diversity in choosing actors. I'd like that to happen in the Philippines, to not just have the face for it, but the needed depth in our films. I believe this puts me at an advantage since I have theater and TV acting experience, this will surely help in my studies."

Paras continues to build experience in different projects making music videos, events, media, content creation and production. He also shot LA Fashion Week and a few more shows as restrictions ease stateside. His plans of making worthy films and stories that depict culture, quality, and the Filipino way of life is just the start. Can't wait to see him reach his dreams, with the flag on his sleeve every time.

A Classy Looking Phone that Performs Well: OPPO A95

I spent a couple of weeks using this phone and by any standard, it's pretty sick. This is the OPPO A95, one of OPPO's newest phones in the market and with what I've heard, this does photos and videos quite well. That's something that I need especially for creating content these days because quality before I even edit things, is certainly something that I wanted to have.

Really Good Hardware

Specs wise, the OPPO A95 doesn't dissapoint because the battery life is quite phenomenal. With 5000mAh, you can last the whole day and even have more for music and media when your events call for it. With their 33W Flash Charge, it won't be problematic if you're charging the phone for a few minutes. Equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 and proprietary System Booster, you'll have performance happen on the most resource draining applications like games or editing software, which I'm pretty fond of using. I played Mobile Legends and CODM with it, heating was actually not an issue even though I've probably expected it to do so. Albeit having a plastic back panel, it didn't feel uncomfortable during the hours I've handled it. OPPO made the OPPO A95 also look classy, with that sheen you find in pearls, it has made the variant I handled (Glowing Rainbow Silver) look expensive yet stay very light.

The phone also has 8GB+128GB ROM plus its capability to expand storage. The screen is wide at 6.43 inch, so you kinda enjoy watching YouTube videos and movies when on landscape. Here's how I unboxed it a few days ago.

 

 The OS is good

With its ColorOS 11.1, the interface is very smooth when you switch apps. I tried memory hogging apps for video editing and games, but so far, I've never had it hang at all.

Pretty Good Cameras

This has got 3 cameras at the back that's got 48MP, 2MP for the depth of field and 2MP for the macro shots. The portrait mode was actually not too overly processed and got the blurry parts right. It also didn't make the image too warm which is something that I've noticed on other brands but that's another story. The AI mode for Beautification was just enough to cover little imperfections, you can even do without it tbh. If you're fond of going back to events, even if it's dark where you're at, the night mode on front and back should do you good. They too must have figured 4K videos is a little too heavy to be edited hence the 1080P on this handset. All your raw videos can be edited on their propreitary software called SoLoop, though I haven't used it yet it kinda does things automatically so it's not gonna be hard to learn how to use it. It's also a lot easy on the eyes as it's got AI Eye Care which automatically detects brightness and adjusts the screen to your liking, or manually, you can do it too.

Does it justify the price point? Certainly, it's got a lot of premium features but remained mid-range, I think that's good. If you want to know more about the OPPO A95, check out OPPO's social channels and official website. There's lots of things you will like about it. I'm practically sold on the photos.

New Vivo X70 Available for Pre-Order!

It looks like you're up to good things today as vivo Philippines just started pre-order on their newest flagship phone the vivo X70. I've had the opportunity to use it for a few days so I'm going to tell you about it on a review soon, but as I said, you too can get reservations for it on vivo concept stores and authorized retailers starting October 9-15.

This smartphone is masterfully engineered together with lens manufacturer Zeiss optics so expect this to be excellently photography centric. It's going to be the best in producing high quality images even if you're taking shots in low light conditions (not that you're going to bars and clubs anytime soon in this pandemic lol).

One thing to note is the ultra sensing gimbal camera which can take your vlogs/videos to anoter level so you don't make your viewers dizzy everytime you get clips. Cinematic shots? This one can do it, so imagine the things you could do with the vivo X70. It's got zoom supporting SAT, focus distance and adjustable audio level if you need it in different degrees. Colors come in Cosmic Black and Aurora Dawn, body is sleek, slim and classy. I also haven't charged it much over the past few days although I haven't been doing heavy stuff, but just the same, the battery life is amazing! The screen also has 120Hz refresh rate, you're bound to see a lot of details on your own shots, and videos on it.

 

You'll get a FREE garment steamer so you can look good too!

 

Planning to get a good one? This surely is!

All Day Fun with the vivo Y31

It's already summer and you can feel the heat in some of the days, but what keeps you busy at home? More often than not, your mobile phone is becoming your best friend as your activities are built around it. Smartphones like the vivo Y31 provide activities this 2021 that can do more fun and entertainment even on lockdown.

On Photography

You can do so much with a 48MP main camera. Aside from that, it also has a 2MP bokeh and macro lens which can do those creamy blurry backgrounds and super small photos clearly. You can have friends or family as subjects and do portraits. If they're not around, you can shoot your old toys or even those ants in the window sill. Photography can be done with almost anything!

Watch K Drama

Binge watching is something that you can do with your family or your special someone. K Drama these days talk about romance, coming of age films, action, even fantasy. There's a ton of them that have entertained millions of people, and that should include you. The vivo Y31 can handle hours of streaming, plus the FHD+ Halo FullView Display give really nice visuals. You could fall in love with the different characters, wish to come to South Korea for the food, the sights, and the soju. Maybe, just maybe, find love in the process. 

Level up your Gaming

It's pretty hard to win games these days. You need something that handles the connection, the graphics because the last thing you need to worry about is what you see on screen. Well, not to worry if you have the vivo Y31 because its got Multi-Turbo 4.0 which can get all of that taken cared of. All you need to do now is just concentrate on the game and start beating the enemies. It should make you level up your gaming and just be wary of the things that matter, not the phone.

There are tons of things you can do with a smartphone and you should always make it your companion so you can be productive everyday. Performance wise, it should do more right from the start because as soon as it opens those apps, it should be able to handle it without any problems and the vivo Y31 does that. If you want to know more about this specific model, go get information at http://www.vivoglobal.ph/phone/vivo-Y31 or vivo Philippines on FB, IG and Twitter. They've got you covered!

Self Expression and Self Care with the Vivo Y31

 

Still locked down, with different terms used, but still the same potato. I'm sure just like me, you are stuck at home trying to make ends meet, trying to make sense of it all. These days, if you don't have anything to keep you sane, it'll be doubly hard to survive. These days, people look for outlets for self expression, the arts, to also preserve memories so you can reminisce on it later on. It's pretty tough not to have that with mental health, so we have to do what we can to take our mind off things, or maybe a little entertainment. 

Photography, or making video content these days have now become easier with the eve of smartphones that can take even better shots sometimes than professional cameras. It's more powerful, you can even use the same phone to edit it and share the experience with family and friends at a flick of a button. The peeps from vivo didn't only donate stuff and PPE for front liners during this pandemic, they realized the importance of elevating the smartphone experience and did several campaigns over the years that would do just that for Filipinos and the rest of the world.

For the vivo v19 phones they did the Ignite Your Night campaign to show users how they can take advantage of the night photography and gaming capabilities of their phones. Aside from that, they also did one for the v20 series called Be The Focus to showcase the selfie camera capabilities of the phone. This 2021 they are getting you involved in "ALL DAY FUN" with the Y31 which is a budget phone but last so long because of its 5000mAh battery. Photos, videos, gaming, it can do all that without costing too much plus you get a chance to pursue enjoyable hobbies, that would make you happy, which is way better for your mind too.

Who would have known doing several campaigns would result to that right? It's a good thing. If you want to know more about the vivo Y31, you may check out information on https://www.facebook.com/vivo.philippines or their website https://www.vivoglobal.ph/. If you want to get one, they have their official stores on Shopee and Lazada, you'll get good deals there too!

VIVO Pictures More User-Centric Smartphones This 2021

Despite being in a pandemic, vivo has remained bullish by releasing several smart phones in the Philippine market. They concentrated on photography and having fun with their handsets which is what consumers need these days for work and play.

That user experience is something that has been a product of extensive efforts for innovation and this 2021, aside from function, they will also pay attention to form which includes futuristic aesthetics. They will also be doing improvements but in this occasion, will not forget to continue perfecting the existing functions of the phones, making everyday connections even better.

This year, vivo will further bank on its user centric phone features and implement it on all their smartphones. This includes improvements on photos, the whole ecosystem, design and the phone's performance. Liang Wang, vivo's General Manager for Overseas Products reiterates "There is a growing demand for phones even if there is a decrease in purchasing power of consumers around the globe. vivo will be launching new smartphone models in the mid and high end markets so we can give consumer needs as they need phones that have cutting edge technology without breaking the bank. Vivo has proven itself and is part of the top smartphone manufacturers in the world and it remains number one in Indonesia, and is ranked second and third in China, India. vivo is also beginning to penetrate the large Western European market which has made it immensely popular in the region."

 It's also why vivo has been very visible in recent UEFA EURO 2020 and 2024 matches (of which they are an official partner) so they can cater to more users that have been known for putting in much importance for information security. This is where they would want to grow even more hence the efforts they also put on user oriented innovation and technology on their products which they consider very important. They have very high standards and by no means will they let out. They have also looked into growing into manufacturing and corporate industries who would have great use of their technological advancements.

 For starters, they've filed over 2,000 patents for 5G technology last year alone. A strong R&D network, research teams across the globe, made these all possible. You may expect vivo will be coming out with even new 5G capable devices in the coming months, years, while understanding your needs locally. Aside from that, vivo has partnered with industry leader ZIESS and harness their expertise in the lens and smartphone imaging technologies which they showcased in their previous "vivo ZEISS Master Photography" drive. With the optical behemoth and vivo's existing imaging software and hardware technology, which they have both had excellently complemented each other.

vivo's Senior Director of Overseas Strategic Planning Center Guoliang Liu says "Our company has gone leaps and bounds with our Gimbal Camera System which most pro photographers and videographers use. vivo has put all these in on our smartphones so our consumers get the best of what technology has to offer. That resulted in the launch of the X50 which we have released worldwide." all of which have made them lead the pack in mobile phone photography.

Listening to what the consumer needs has made the difference and it's where vivo has made a conscious effort to answer year on year. Despite the crazy amount of restrictions, this makes both vivo and the consumers win as they continue to get empowered and equipped in so many ways. The amount of innovations they've gotten will be useful for ordinary people so they too would lead improved lives in this time and age.

Winners of Vivo's VISION+ Mobile Photography Awards 2020

Looks like there's a throng of really good entries in the Vivo VISION+ Mobile Photography Awards 2020. This proves a lot that it doesn't really matter if you're using a DSLR or those old boxes they had centuries ago. This year, they partnered with National Geographic to find the photo or video that would be able to capture and personify individual emotions and humanistic culture. They did this for 2 months and over 135,000 entries from around the world were submitted, and the winner for photo of the year evidently won because of the story. Check out the winners below!

This shot called "Balinese Woman" won Arief Satria the Portrait category. He is a photographer who hails from Indonesia.

This is called "Camping Night with Beloved Friends" shot by Rifqi Moch Lutpi who is from Indonesia. He won honorable mention.

This video is called Opera Watch made by Chen Lei of China. This won the mobile video category.

For the Night category, this one is called "Steelwool with Bridge" shot by Pyae Phyo Aung who hails from Myanmar.

This one is called "Replicate" which is shot by Lin Haibo of China. He won the Memories category.

This photo called "Daily Life of Four Big Mouth Monsters" wins photo of the year for 2020. This was shot by photographer Zhang Yu from China.

Now how I wish I could watch the next one this year, perhaps I could join the portrait category and win it for the country. It pays owning a Vivo no? They're really making photography a real priority and I can't wait for more things from Vivo, they probably are making mean machines somewhere there. I wanna see, I wanna see!

Vivo V20 Series Boasts ULTIMATE Selfie Camera

 

 

After getting released last October 31, users have been seeing the value of the new Vivo V20 series. The smartphone has been able to impress, with new things being discovered by users after its official launch. It looks like the phone has so much features to play with and yes, these phones pack a pretty huge combo of hardware which current owners adore.

The lovely Vivo V20 and V20 Pro has got a 44MP front cameras. Imagine what that would get when taking your selfies, your images would be huge, details would be crisp and clear. The videos would also become that good, vloggers would find this a refreshing alternative to their huge cameras. It is also convenient to carry around, making you take your workflow at an easy pace but never disregard quality. After uploading them, quality wise, you’ll really stand out, you get to #BeTheFocus and stay ahead of the competition.



It's in the details

Because the Vivo V20 and V20 Pro has a 44MP front camera, that only means that you can have a lot of detail on the images. With this above standard camera sensor, you can get crisp shots and wether photos or videos. You can simply crop if needed, especially if you take photos in crowded areas. If you want to take away unnecessary clutter in a shot, that can be easily done. Aside from that, the selfies have AI Face beauty features, which can make you a little bit better than usual when you have imperfections you want to improve.

It also has Night Scene options so when you do have to take photos in low light conditions, it would be easy to see details. It won't be awkward to take shots in parties or occasions. The phone can also take real 4K videos, which means shooting, editing your vlogs will be a cinch. That would be good for aspiring or professional content creators. The possibilities are endless.


Shooting Videos with Reactions

These days, vlogging requires content that need reactions real time. Those reactions channels have sprouted up like mushroom because viewers want real emotions, and if you can catch that on video while taking a video, wouldn't that be awesome? The Vivo V20 series can actually do that. No more editing and putting hours of editing time to sync two videos on top of another. This can record footage from the back and front cameras at the same time. Now I haven't seen that done yet by other phone manufacturers; it's a real refreshing feature for a phone.

Aside from that, the vivo V20 series has the steadiface video feature. It locks on subjects and stays on focus, a thing that vloggers would actually be problematic with. Now you have something to battle those dizzying footages you take when in motion, you can also take slow motion videos with the front camera if you need to. It can take your creative mind places where you've never had with your video cameras, plus imagine the things you can do with that in cinematic shots. That's a whole lot of features for a smartphone.

You can #BeTheFocus with the vivo V20 series. If you want to have them, it’s all available in Lazada and Shopee.  You can also get them at Vivo concept stores nationwide. You can get more information about the phones at vivoglobal.ph. It’s all there!

The Good Performance and Looks of ZenFone Max Pro M2

It's time to consider solid phone performance and good looks, this is the new Zenfone Max Pro M2

Blogging everyday takes so much work and if you were in my shoes, I'm quite sure about 80% of you would quit doing this because of the sheer amount of articles you would need to dish out as soon as an event or launch happens. I am well equipped, with a huge DSLR and a powerful laptop computer but most often than not, it is a bit of a chore to actually carry it around the whole day when locations of events in Metro Manila change like shirts in a hot afternoon. 

A solution would be using a powerful phone that would be able to do the same things as my DSLR and host apps or software that I need for blogging. I currently use an iPhone but it just runs out of batteries too fast as it doesn't even last the whole day. I also use a different Android phone that takes wonderful photos but it just heats up too much when I'm editing videos or playing games every once in a while. It also runs out of batteries too so my solution is to carry a huge powerbank that weighs a ton (I might be exaggerating a little) but it won't work now that I have a back issue and my bag is pretty much always full. Carrying a phone that performs as needed, something that looks professional, something that makes you exude confidence, it's a job for the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M2. 

The ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M2 has 1.95 GHz Octacore processor and 4GB of RAM at Php 12,995, (also has an 6GB version at PHP 14,995) all of which can do tons of work, fast and efficiently. The 64 GB storage can last you hours worth of photos and videos, you can install apps without worrying too much about what's left because it is expandable. You can put additional SD cards and chill, runs on Android 8.1 Oreo and can last you for hours on because it's powered by a 5000 mAh battery. I have tethered this all day during my recent Singapore trip and it was unbeatable. 

Taking photos was a cinch, it's colorful, pretty easy with its own editing options or via other photo editing apps. It performs at par in low light conditions, the selfie function takes you to real good looking depths and doesn't look plasticky when internal beauty features are enabled. 

It also remains as one of the most affordable at PHP 14,995, which in any standard is good for a entry-mid-range phone out in the Philippine market. The Snapdragon 660, large ram and long battery life can last you a long time even if you're playing games all day. After all, that's much of what I use this for also, for War Robots, Ragnarok, Hello Hero, and a whole lot more. 

You better consider this when you're ready to play! It looks absolutely good too, perfectly fit for executives who still want to have fun and photography on the side. I know, I enjoyed it a lot!
