Special LG XBOOM Deals at ABENSON Quezon Avenue This Weekend!

Spent an afternoon at Abenson's appliance center in Quezon Avenue, Quezon City. That place is humongous, and a perfect place to play with the new LG XBoom Go line. So we did.

It has balanced clear sound, available in different models that have different battery capacities. You can choose a 10 hour, 18 hour or 24 hours. All of them are Water and Dust resistant and are Military standard rated hardware. If you need to, there's sound boost and is pretty portable. What I like about it is you can still have it pound BOOM BOOM BOOM despite its size. It also doesn't break at full volume, and why should it, it's an LG after all.

Here's what if felt like yesterday at the event:

Oh and you want to know the good news? These new LG BOOM models are on special deals this weekend (exclusively on Abenson Quezon Avenue):

The LG XBOOM XL9T with SRP of 44,990 is now at Php 35,990 and comes with a FREE Coffee Table. The LG XBOOM Go XG7 that is previously 9490 is now being sold at Php 6,990. The XG5 that is sold at 7,490 is now Php 3,490 and both comes with a FREE Tumbler. While the handy XG2T that was sold at 3,490 is now at Php 2,490 which is quite affordable now. Does this entice you to get one? Now go and schedule that trip to Abenson's Quezon Avenue today and get these amazingly priced Bluetooth speakers, and make that next road trip a fun one!

Zubiri Points Out What Should Be Addressed in Upcoming SONA

The SONA or State of the Nation Address will be happening on July 22nd. This is the third time the President is doing it. Before that, Senator Zubiri laid a few concerns of Filipinos that should be discussed, which he hopes the President would do in his term.

He says "The country could have been an upper middle income economy by year 2028, but this has been dampened by high inflation. The high price of rice, usual commodities affects the ordinary working class. It is essential that the growth seen with the GDP translates into good things in the daily lives of Pinoys. He should also address the minimum wage, increase it. Maybe a new wage law, acted upon, and not just sit in the house of representatives. Aside from the wage hike, food security should be prioritized at this time."

These are just some of the things he deem important to be addressed at the upcoming SONA. The former Senate President has been working hard in making sure his peers at the Senate do the same for the development of the country. The SONA is the best platform to not just show what he has done, but what plans he have to make sure that all the gains he has done in the past year would continue in the future.

Antique: Where the Mountains Meet the Sea on Discovery Channel

Just got off the press conference on Antique: Where the Mountains Meet the Sea hosted by the office of DS Loren Legarda and the Department of Tourism. This has been attended by several government dignitaries and executives from Discovery Channel where this will be shown this coming March 23, 2022. This documentary is produced by Studio H20 through DS Loren Legarda's office, the DOT and in partnership with the Province of Antique.

 

 

DS Loren Legarda says "I would want to give my full undivided attention to this project which is close to my heart. During the pandemic, we worked on this which delves on marine biodiversity. This is a Senate project with the DOT so funds will be allocated to them. This is not the first I've done with several groups. We have legislated 94 laws, and if mandated there would be a multitude of national parks and they will be given management plans, this will be my legacy. The loss of plants, animals, on land and underwater could be detrimental for the future. I put all it into bills, together with Senator Villar, and covers 2 areas in Antique which will be part of the feature. This houses marine riches, that puts food in the table, and the discoveries of Studio H2O is just a paradise. We give due recognition to UP Marine Science Institute and RARE Philippines, all our 18 Mayors, Vice Mayors, who will enact local versions. What they did was a community based coral reef monitoring, hired and worked with local people, fisher-folks around the designated areas. They discovered areas suitable for coral growth, more places for fish diversities, 2 endangered species found in our waters, and Manta Rays found only in the country. More exploratory dives should be done as more remains to be seen. I would like to do a project with the DOT, the DENR and LGU's."

 

Boogs Rosales of Studio H2O adds "We really worked hard to push through with our shoot, it will be shown on Discovery Channel for two days. We're glad that we got to work with the various government agencies and have this shown to an international audience. As DS, the funding was from their office, through the DOT. It's a process that went through bidding, it was very hard to work on it. Part of the funding went to also showcasing it in Discovery channel, to promote and highlight the province through visuals and our storytelling."   

Antique: Where the Mountains Meet the Sea will be shown on the Discovery Channel this March 23rd at 6:15PM and will be replayed on March 24 at 8:15AM and 11:25AM Philippine time. This will also be aired in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and India where Discovery Channel is available.

Doing More: Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda

The 2022 election will be extremely important for the lives of approximately 104 Million people. Aside from the obvious need for immediate pandemic response, relief and restarting of businesses, sectors heavily affected by the economic stresses of the situation should be addressed. It includes the sectors of education, addressing poverty, the micro small and medium enterprise, child labor, the environment, climate change and those that affect the lives of people. After all, the legislative body has a primary role in creating laws, Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda did this for over 18 years in the Senate.

Several laws she made being implemented nowadays include Free College Education, Magna Carta of the Poor, the MSME Law, Child Labor Law, Climate Change Law, most of which has been done during her term.

On her FB page, she recently released a few videos which include testimonies from real people.

I think that's noble and with the accomplishments, she's got a good grasp of what a Senator does. She wants to do more. But would you consider her to be one of you bets this election? 

That's your choice.

Now I am no stranger with Promate because of these experiences and they have a lot of other products too. I bet it's time they expand elsewhere in the country. This recent development made them happy.

The Coolest Gadgets for Summer 2016

Spent the evening with the good people from Digits Trading. They're one of the largest gadgets and accessories distributors in the country. I couldn't even fit in my hands what brands they have but it includes Marshall, Braven and some new ones like Vest (that does anti radiation accessories) and Fuse Chicken (which have Apple accessories). We're here to find out some of the coolest gear for Summer 2016.

This is the vest Anti Radiation Headset. If you're looking for best deals on electronic gadgets, this is a good place to start. The thrust this year is to get your gadgets to become more healthy and safe. It makes sense since we're using them for a long time. The wired headset is made sturdy, and the concept is to lessen the radiation while you're listening to your favorite songs on your smart phones. If you're streaming music or video, this would actually help and lessen radiation worries for you and your family. I'd definitely consider this as one of the coolest things you can have this summer. Now the only thing left is a trip to a beach or that lovely destination you've been thinking of all year.

There's also a wireless version of it, this is the vest anti radiation Bluetooth headset. If you're not a fan of wires then this would be a great alternative. It's a little pricey, almost twice the price. Hopefully we can get more affordable gadgets by getting the best shopping coupons at http://www.myvouchercodes.ph/.

Aside from the Earphones, vest also has Anti Radiation smart phone cases for iPhone 6S and 6S+. It protects your phone from bumps and drops. It also gets you about 89% less radiation exposure without compromising signals with an additional PCB for your antenna. 

The vest Radiation Shield can prevent those that are coming from your laptop's battery and WIFI antenna. It also would be a good thing for heat reduction, confidently making you work without worries of exposure up to 92%.

Fuse Chicken boasts of the IPHONE phone dock, car dock, Apple Watch dock and Titan. They're made with the toughest cable on Earth and I think they have every right to claim that since it's made of industrial grade cable that is made of high strength steel. It is both flexible and might probably be the last charging cable you'll ever need in your lifetime. It works best for your phone that uses lightning cables. You'll never see it peel off or get chewed by your pets. I wanted to have this long cable actually because I have already bought about 4 original ones and they all got ruined after daily use. This for me is a solution, and hopefully we get to experience it soon.

Then we saw the BRAVEN BRV-PRO speaker and accessories.

This one is the Stacking Plate, which you can use to stack multiple BRAVEN speakers so they can sync with your Bluetooth connection and play music on a whole different level. I actually have an older model and just like it, the BRAVEN plays super crisp audio without distorting it too much with too much bass. You'll love it!

To make your speaker fancy, this one is their Glow Deck. If you're out in the woods, you won't have to use your precious batteries because it glows with LED's while you're playing music in the background.

This is the Action Mount. You can now go on adventures, ride your bikes, drop through mountains and still have that music play while you're doing everything.

For environmental freaks, if you run out of batteries, don't worry because you've got the BRAVEN Solar Panel. Just go and tuck it out on a sunny day and it'll charge your device automatically.

If you run out of phone batteries, don't worry because you've got this Battery Pack to help you through your camping activities. Just hook it up and use it like a power bank in those emergency situations. You've got the best gadgets within your reach, now go get them before your next beach destination. You'll love it like I do!

That's our roundup of the coolest gadgets you can have this summer. Make sure you get them while it's hot literally, and figuratively. Everything is available in Digital Walker or Beyond the Box Stores nationwide!

ASUS Philippines Launch Stylish and Powerful ZenPad Line

Some real good news came to us last week as ASUS launched the availability of their new ZenPad line. These are three different tablets with models ZenPad C 7, ZenPad 7 and the ZenPad S 8. All these gorgeous tablets come in different price points and of course, are also in different specifications.

The call that evening, is to have your device as something "not just to let you just stay connected or perform specific tasks". It's going to be a bit more about having fashion, style and technology mold together and have it when you want to because ultimately, it should be Luxury on Your Terms.

On the performance department, Gabriel Padit says this is the world's first tablet that has a 4GB RAM. If you saw how this works on the ASUS ZenFone, imagine the possibilities it could do with a tablet. Imagine your current gaming habits and how it would go head to head with other tablets that are being used now in the market. They even went ballistic and compared it with the graphics of the latest iPad, well we could tell how it fared as it got thrown out of the water. ASUS devices are using proprietary VisualMaster and PixelMaster technologies that promises real life like graphics on their devices.

That's the gorgeous Stephanie Retuya on the right, I love her with that white ASUS Zenpad 8.0 and ZenClutch!

Hey look! It's Manhunt International 2012 and Fashion Asia 2014 top male model of the year June Macasaet!

The ZenPad line looked so good if carried around like a clutch. It can definitely match the colors and the styles you put in on your outfits. Aside from that, George Su also announced a couple of things that would make your tablets ultra personalized.

 Just look at those gorgeous ZenCases, you can have them changed to what you prefer, the color of your outfit buy just changing the back covers. If you're into a sassy lifestyle, you can opt fot the ZenClutch which is a type of foldable case that can make your tablet into a fashion accessory. If you're like me who use tablets for photos and videos, you can opt for the PowerCase and add about half a day's worth or more o battery life to your ZenPad device. If you're into music and parties, then you can go for the imressive AudioCover which is a multi speaker system and 5.1 DTS surround sound.

For the price points, the ZenPad S 8 is priced at Php 16,995, while the ZenPad 7 is at Php 7,995 and the ZenPad C 7 is so affordable at Php 5,995. You've got these affordable yet powerful devices now in the Philippines and all you got to do now is go to your favorite gadget shops that sell ASUS devices and reserve one. It looks good, it feel right, and the power inside and out is unmatched.

It's also the perfect companion now that I'm traveling too. I took it to Coron in Palawan last week and after suiting it up, installing all the essentials, I think this is the perfect companion to do my daily blogging activities. A glass of wine, cheese, my camera, and shades, plus this ZenPad looks so fine by me. I think that, is luxury on my terms.
