Today, smartphones are one of the necessary things needed in almost every part of our life. Me as a Blogger, I need one of the gadgets that would help me in my daily need, one of which is covering events, taking pictures and a whole lot more.

In line to this, I listed my 5 Reasons why I want to have a limited edition of Vivo V9 in Velvet Red..

1. I am a Vivo User...

Yes, I am a Vivo user and I love the features and specification of their phones. I particularly use Vivo Y69. And if I get a chance to upgrade my phone I love the Vivo V9 Velvet Red limited Edition. For sure I will not have a hard time using it since I own a Vivo phone.

It's a good innovator," she said.

I do believe on what Julie Ann San Jose said, I think it will really fit with my personality as well. This will be my first time to use a different color of the phone because I usually use  black colored phones.

4. Barbie Forteza The New Endorser Of Vivo V9 VelveT Red

 
Award-winning actress Barbie said that the Vivo V9 Velvet Red is perfect for her because it is her favorite color. But she also highlighted the selfie capabilities of the Vivo V9, which has a 24-megapixel AI selfie camera. "This phone is smarter than me! It has this artificial intelligence feature that can re-edit photos naturally," she said

  "Nakakaartista pag naka Vivo ka" Barbie said. Yes, you'll feel like you belong to the showbiz family, feeling one of the endorsers of Vivo. That's why I want to have one of this. And because I am an entertainment blogger that most of the time needs a handy but realiable phone to cover showbiz events. Maybe artist will identify me as a Vivo user or as member of the Vivo Family.  Hahaha, need to have it first.

5. Bloggers and Influencer using Vivo V9

And yes their photos are very nice, and it turns out that most reader love to read their blogs because aside from the beautiful message on the write ups they have an attractive and quality photos attached.

Vivo V9 Velvet Red
Vivo V9 was intitally available in two colors, Pearl Black and Gold, when it was launched in the Philippines on March 22.

In her speech at SM North, Vivo Philippines Vice President for Sales Hazel-Bascon explained that the Velvet red also represents the youthful vibe of the global smartphone brand.

"Red is for the bold, for the adveturous, for the youthful, for the fashion-forward, for the energetic. Our ardent users are mostly young, hip and spirited and the Vivo V9 in Velvet Red is a fitting nod to them," she said at the launch.

The Vivo V9 in Velvet Red also got the same specs witht he first two colors. It has a 24MP AI selfie camera, a 16MP+5mp Dual Rear Camera, and a 6.3-inch Full view Display.

The Vivo V9 Velvet Red is retailed at Php17,990 at authorized shops nationwide.

Times have changed since Viva Films’ phenomenal 1984 movie “Bagets” set the trend for youth-oriented films. But even after three decades, a young man’s thirst for adventure, the need to belong while staying true to himself, the struggle to keep it all together in the face of academic stress, love problems and family issues, and the thrill of going through it all with real friends – themes like these still make for a relevant movie, and Viva Films knows just how to deliver it in this millennial generation. Hence comes “Squad Goals”, directed by multi-awarded filmmaker Mark Meily.

In this dramedy, Julian Trono, Vitto Marquez, Andrew Muhlach, Dan Huschka, and Jack Reid portray the roles of college students who find camaraderie amidst a series of mishaps that could expel them from school.





















Prince of the Dance Floor and the other half of the love team JulianElla, Julian Trono (Fangirl, Fanboy) is Benj, an Engineering student who is a secret dance guru called “Young D”. He wears a mask in his dance videos on YouTube to keep his father from finding out about it. He took up Engineering to be able to help out in their family’s failing business.


Vitto Marquez is Tom an HRM student and a varsity team captain who also happens to be a three-time MVP. He is too hung up on his girlfriend who is so concerned about her image. It mirrors the relationship of his parents as his father is a retired basketball player while his mother is an actress. In real life, Vitto is the son of Joey Marquez and Alma Moreno.
Filipino-German Dan Huschka plays Hans, a shy-type music genius who keeps getting gigs as a DJ. In the process, his studies are taken for granted. He tries not to be too attached to his friends because he and his mom will go to Germany anytime to see his father. The thought of leaving becomes more upsetting when he met a girl who shares his musical interest.

Andrew Muhlach plays Nat, the class clown and best friend of Tom. His father works as a driver, while his mother is into a networking business. Quick though he is in coming up with pranks, he is very slow in expressing his feelings for the girl he likes. In real life, Andrew is the brother of the original “Bagets” superstar, Aga Muhlach.


Jack Reid plays Pads, a Mass Comm student who works part time as a bartender. This makes him drowse off during class. Born and raised in Australia, he is not fluent in Tagalog. He is tutored by a girl who seems to be the only one not affected by his charisma. With this film, Jack hopes to be recognized for his own capabilities, and not just for being the youngest brother of James Reid.

As the five boys try to fix their mess in school while the other aspects of their lives –romantic and domestic— are also on the brink of failure, see how the squad got each other’s backs.
                                                                                        
Adding excitement to the movie is Ella Cruz, together with Carlyn Ocampo, Aubrey Caraan, Sam Capulong and Victoria Pilapil.
“Squad Goals” opens in cinemas starting May 9, 2018.

Smart, YouTube team up to connect Filipinos to the world of video. Filipino video fans can now watch YouTube for free for one hour daily with Smart.
PLDT wireless arm Smart Communications Inc. (Smart) is giving Smart, TNT, and Sun prepaid customers free access for one hour daily to YouTube and soon to other online video services starting today until July 15.
These subscribers can watch YouTube for one hour for free daily by simply registering to load packages like GigaSurf99, AllOutSurf99, GigaSurf 50, AllOutSurf 30, Panalo Data 30, Panalo Combo 30, Super Combo 20, and Big Time Data 70. They can enjoy this special offer for the duration of the packages that they buy.
“Through this path-breaking partnership, many more Filipinos can pursue their passions like music and entertainment, and learn a wide range of skills, hobbies, educational material, news and information through the massive library of video material of YouTube. This service is something every Filipino should have access to,” said Oscar A. Reyes, Jr., SVP of Consumer Business Market Development for PLDT and Smart.
"With this new offer, mobile phone users now have everyday access to the richest video library with content from every corner of the planet—for free,” Reyes said. He added that this special promo will soon be available to postpaid subscribers as well.
“We are proud to partner with YouTube to bring the service closer to our customers. This is just the start of a fruitful partnership, and we are working on a lot of other exciting initiatives that will enhance the digital lifestyle of Filipinos,” Reyes said.
Aside from YouTube, another video service is also set to be part of the offer. Access to Smart360 (http://360.smart.com.ph), a web portal where Smart, TNT and Sun subscribers can access various digital content like live TV, movies, series, music and games, will soon be free for a limited time. Other video content providers are also eligible to be included in the offer, subject to mutually agreed terms with Smart.

Ranz and Niana

Smart, TNT and Sun subscribers are now better able to enjoy video streaming services like YouTube as a result of Smart's massive network investments over the past several years which has enabled the mobile phone carrier to provide high-speed mobile data services via its expanded LTE and 3G networks throughout the country.

Internet experience at par with the world

To provide customers with a better video and mobile internet experience, Smart is accelerating the deployment of LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) and carrier aggregation technology to more areas this year. Carrier Aggregation (CA), a feature of LTE-A, enables the combination of two or more radio frequency bands in order to deliver bigger bandwidth and much faster data speeds, which are crucial in providing the best video streaming experience to mobile phone users.

Smart has already rolled-out 3CC CA sites in cities across Metro Manila, as well as in major cities in other regions of the country, including Baguio, Calamba, Iloilo, Bacolod, Tagbilaran, Ormoc, Cagayan de Oro, Dipolog, Zamboanga, among others. In Metro Manila and areas where there is a concentration of capable devices, Smart is also deploying 4CC, starting with Marikina and Quezon City, where customers with 4CC CA-capable devices like the Samsung Galaxy S8 have reported enjoying data download speeds of over 200 Mbps.

Smart’s accelerated deployment of LTE-Advanced follows the stepped up roll out of its LTE network. It is also upping the ante by deploying another LTE-A based technology called 4x4 Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), which raises the radio frequency efficiency by using multiple antennas for sending and receiving data.

Parent company PLDT has committed historic levels of resources to support network transformation. Capital expenditures reached P40 billion in 2017, of which about 67% was allotted for the mobile network. For 2018, PLDT capex is expected to reach P58 billion, which includes allocations for the aggressive roll-out of its fiber broadband service, which also supports the stepped-up deployment of the mobile network by providing high-capacity links for cellular base stations.

A Pinoy Boyband Superstar finalist is ready to make his mark into the OPM scene with the release of his debut single 'Langit Pag Nandiyan'.

23-year-old singer-songwriter Mark Oblea was first discovered in the hit reality singing competition Pinoy Band Superstar (the show originally aired in 2016), in which he made it as one of the Top 7 finalists.

Having signed a recording deal with Universal Records in December 2017, Mark is now set to release his first single entitled 'Langit Pag Nandiyan.' The song was written by Gracenote lead vocalist Eunice Jorge, and produced by hit-making producer Ito Rapadas. Talking about the meaning behind the song, Mark says "The song is about honoring someone [special in your life]. It can be a song for a friend, a loved one, a relative, or [anyone who's always there to support you despite different setbacks and challenges.] At the same time, it is also a personal anthem for all the people who've been a part of my journey to pursue my dreams"

With his rugged good looks, charm, and musical talent, Mark is bound to win the hearts of many fans worldwide.

Mark is also slated to sing the theme song ‘Fiona’ for an upcoming indie film “Bakwit Boys,” produced by T-Rex Productions. Next on his list is his debut EP, which feature songs written by Mark himself.

True to its mission of showcasing compelling and world-class entertainment, GMA Network brings its loyal Kapuso viewers another ground-breaking concept with its upcoming primetime series, The Cure, beginning April 30.

The Cure’s premise is set on an experimental drug that kills cancer cells. However, its side effect causes a deeper problem—the mutation of a dangerous and highly contagious virus called the Monkey Virus Disease or MVD wherein anyone infected begins to have seizures and becomes rabid and violent. Soon, law and order is non-existent as the disease spreads not only in the city, but also throughout the entire country. Now more than ever, it is crucial to find the very thing that would save everyone—a cure.

The series is under the helm of esteemed director Mark A. Reyes who is excited for the viewers to witness a new genre in primetime. “It’s very exciting, a story of survival—survival of humans, survival of family, survival of two people in love, it’s a bigger picture. It’s fresh, it’s new, and the whole essence of a suspense-drama is here. I knew from the start it was going to be big,” he shares. “I’m approaching this cinematically; I’m using film cameras for our taping." To make the series more interesting, Direk Mark said they incorporated a gorilla to the storyline and used Animatronics.
Ultimate Star Jennylyn Mercado and multi-talented actor Tom Rodriguez headline the series as Charity and Gregory Salvador, a happily married couple.
Charity used to be a registered nurse, but she left her job to focus on her husband and only daughter, Hope.
Greg is the family provider, working as a Clinical Research Associate in an international pharmaceutical laboratory. They both live a peaceful life, until Greg’s mother is diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
Playing equally vital roles are respected and multi-awarded TV and movie actress Jaclyn Jose as Dr. Evangeline Lazaro, head of the Research and Development Team in the same pharmaceutical company Greg works at and the one who discovered the experimental drug that created a nationwide epidemic;
homegrown Kapuso actor Mark Herras as Darius, a one-track mind man who is ruthless, strong, skilled in physical combat, and relentless in getting what he wants;
award-winning Kapuso actress LJ Reyes as Katrina, the company’s Clinical Research Associate and Greg’s friend from college who is secretly in love with him;
and with the special participation of versatile Kapuso actor Ken Chan as Josh, the only son of Dr. Lazaro. He is a top doctor who would rather serve the poor than private hospitals.
Completing the powerhouse ensemble are Jay Manalo as Fernan, the pharmaceutical’s fearless lead security officer who forms a survivor colony in the midst of the epidemic;

Irma Adlawan as Agnes, Greg’s mother and the first patient to be infected by MVD; Ronnie Henares as Eduardo, a selfish and cruel board member of the pharmaceutical company; Glenda Garcia as Lorna, Charity’s mother who never really cared for her until they reunite during the outbreak;
Diva Montelaba as Suzy, a video blogger who disseminated the news about the stolen experimental drug which mutates into a horrifying virus;
Arra San Agustin as Anna, a smart and dedicated doctor like her boyfriend, Josh;
Leanne Bautista as Hope, Charity and Greg’s jolly and intelligent daughter.

Set in a world succumbing to the worst, The Cure is an action-suspense drama which shows that our daily battles are worth fighting, as long as we are fighting for our loved ones and our family.

Behind the series is the creative team composed of creative director Roy Iglesias, creative head RJ Nuevas, creative consultant Denoy Navarro Punio, headwriter Richard Cruz, writers Luningning Ribay, Glaiza Ramirez and Lobert Villela and brainstormers Tina Velasco and Pam Miras.

The Cure is created by the GMA Entertainment Content Group under the supervision of Senior Vice President for ECG Lilybeth G. Rasonable, Vice President for Drama Redgie A. Magno, Assistant Vice President for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy, Senior Program Manager Cathy O. Perez and Executive Producer Winnie Reyes.

Don’t miss The Cure’s premiere this April 30 on GMA Telebabad.
