Another function improved here is Customization. End users can personalize not only their wallpapers or ringtones, but also their message tones & SIM names (since it is dual SIM, it is confusing to just see SIM1 or SIM2) set to each specific operator names.

Bench and O+ are set in world of fashion and stylists

O+ Bench + Joseph Marco’s New Adventure 

As the two ever-changing worlds of fashion and technology have grown more competitive than ever, we have come to realize that the key is, “keep up or be left behind.” Interlinking individuals through the power of mobile technology has tremendously become more of a need than a statement of luxury, similar to the case of fashion where trends come and go and modern consumers are always on the prowl for the next big thing.

The two are undoubtedly united by key elements to thrive: innovation and democracy. With constant reinvention remaining as the driving force of these worlds’ operations, the clamoring market has been granted access to their needs and wants.

Fashion, today, has been accessed not just by the chosen few, and technology has paved the way to an interconnected way of living. And so, what better way to celebrate limitless possibilities than to meld these worlds into one.

Bound by the common thread of pushing for endless possibilities, Bench/, in its silver year, ushers in a seamless marriage of talent and vision with O+, the US-born Android mobile technology brand. 

Enjoying 25 years of dominance in the market of fashion faithful, Bench/ has tremendously undergone evolution along with its clout of Filipino fashion lovers. The retail giant has cemented a name that has bridged markets of varying social brackets without compromising its design stamp and persona.

On the other hand, O+’s Android series has recently broken ground in local shores. Work and play come hand in hand in its lineup of smart phones and tablets. Aiming to make a dent in the tech-savvy market, O+ brings in revolutionary partners for the young and young-at-heart who are always on the go.


And one with O+’s vision of limitless possibilities, through the revolutionary Air Shuffle technology, today’s Android brings us to greater heights by allowing swifter navigation using the unique motion sensor that allows users to easily switch FM radio stations, browse stored photos and music with one swoosh of the wrist, even capture Instagram-worthy moments without the need to touch the capture button.

In this unique collaboration, O+’s young ideals mesh with the 25-year tradition of excellence and ingenuity established by Bench/. 

Last December 2, 2012 at the new Glorietta 1 Activity Center at 5:00pm, Bench/ and O+ are set to cultivate a new-breed of Filipino fashionistas by highlighting unsung heroes in the world of fashion—the stylists. 

A first in the country, invited are six celebrity stylists, Sidney Yap, Adrian Concepcion, Ton Lao, Myrrh Lao To, Edlene Cabral, and Kate Paras, to compete in an exemplary

display of creativity, vision, and technique. Each stylist will head a team of make up artists and hair experts to produce five (5) coherently-styled looks fusing elements derived from Bench/ and O+. Each collection will be judged on creativity, originality, and relevance to the theme. To judge the competition are esteemed names in fashion and entertainment: top designers Randy Ortiz and JC Buendia, Manila Bulletin’s Liza Ilarde, Preview’s Vince Uy, Philippine Daily Inquirer’s JJ San Juan, Philippine Star’s Christopher De Venecia PMAP President Phoemela Barranda, and Bench endorser Joseph Marco.

Fashion and technology display an exemplary union with Bench and O+ pushing for going beyond the ordinary. Coinciding with the competition, the biggest supersale on fashion and technology will also be mounted by Bench and O+ at the new Glorietta Activity Center from 1PM-9PM.

CINEMA ONE ORIGINALS 2012 PRESENTS ITS BIGGEST LINE-UP WITH 13 COMPETITION FEATURE FILMS

 13 ORIHINAL NA PELIKULA NG CINEMA ONE ORIGINALS 2012, IPAPALABAS NA

Mamarkahan ngayong taon ang pinakamalaking bilang ng pelikula na ipapalabas sa ika-8 taong Cinema One Originals Festival kung saan may 13 competition feature films na hinati sa dalawang kategorya: Ang “Cinema One Plus” ay binubuo ng mga batikang direktor na tumanggap ng dalawang milyong production budget bawat isa at ang “Cinema One Currents” na binubuo ng mga bagong direktor na pinagkalooban ng isang milyong budget bawat isa.

Pinili mula sa mapanuring deliberasyon sa daan-daang lumahok, ang 13 pelikulang ito ay may anim na unang feature film ng kanilang direktor at may potentsyal na gumawa ng pangalan sa larangan ng filmmaking sa loob at labas ng bansa.

“Mas malaki ang festival ngayong taon pagdating sa nilalaman at variety kumpara sa mga nagdaang Cinema One Originals. Mayroon ang mga pelikula naming ngayong taon na hindi makikita sa mainstream cinema,” ani Cinema One channel head, Ronald Arguelles.

Tunghayan ang mga pelikula sa unang kategorya:

MARIPOSA SA HAWLA NG GABI ni Richard Somes tungkol sa isang babae na patuloy ang paghahanap sa kanyang nawawalang kapatid , tampok sina Erich Gonzales, Alfred Vargas, Joel Torre, Maria Isabel Lopez, John Lapus at Mark Gil.

Cong. Sonny Angara is just the perfect choice to be the newest ambassador of Blackwater Elite Homme

Not Just Any “Juan”

As the saying goes, “The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.” Being the son of a prominent political figure in the country, his future was somehow already predestined. It was no longer a surprise that he eventually became a legislator like his father, Senator Edgardo Angara.

But this “Juan” is different and has already made a name for himself. An achiever even during his younger years, Cong. Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara has filed 10 national bills that became laws during the 14th Congress. Now on his 3rd term as representative of the Lone District of Aurora in the 15th Congress, he continues to stand out and make a name of his own in the world of politics.

“I don’t think there’s a regular day in my life,” explains the legislator when asked what a regular day is for him. “One day, I’m working until midnight; the next day, I’ll have to go out of town.” This illustrates how busy Cong. Sonny Angara’s life is. On top of that, he also wears different hats that require him to fulfill different roles and to give people what they expected from him.

 Miss ChinaTown Philippines: Celebrating Fil-Chinese culture and beauty 

Another culturally enriching beauty search is set to make waves in the beauty pageant scene with the launching of Miss ChinaTown Philippines.

The newest beauty competition was formally introduced to the members of the media during a press briefing hosted by pageant director Alexis Sy Go, herself a former beauty queen. Together with Miss Go in the executive board.

“The Miss ChinaTown Philippines pageant was conceptualized to serve as a unifying event for Fil-Chinese communities,” according to Ms. Go. “This pageant will redefine Fil-Chinese beauty and pave the way for better business relations, and realize cultural and artistic goals.”

Miss ChinaTown Philippines will set a new template for a pageant rich in tradition yet imbued with modern touches. The days leading to the coronation night will be filled with various activities highlighting the glorious past of Fil-Chinese and the way it helped shape the Fil-Chinese culture in the 21st century. Proceeds generated from the pageant will go to the Miss ChinaTown Philippines Foundation.

“This is a nationwide search for Fil-Chinese beauty who will eventually serve as Ambassadress of Fil-Chinese communities. Soon, we hope to be able to conduct a worldwide search in every China Town in every country all over the world,” Ms. Go adds.

Screening of applicants is on-going for all interested Fil-Chinese beauties between 18 to 25 years old and at least 5’4” tall. Applicants should also possess talent, be familiar with current issues, and must be fluent in either Mandarin or Fookien. The last day of screening will be December 19, 2012.

Serving as the platform of the much awaited prestigious event is Carousel Productions Inc., the company behind the only relevant global beauty pageant, Miss Earth in partnership with the City of San Juan which is known for its progressing Chinese community. The coronation night will be telecast on ABS-CBN on the eve of the Chinese New Year, February 9, 2013 at the San Juan Arena.

TANDUAY PICKS KC CONCEPCION

In line with its commitment to always deliver activities and campaigns that appeal to the tastes of their consumers, Tanduay Distillers has chosen KC Concepcion as its calendar girl for the year 2013.

The release of the calendar is a most awaited event for Tanduay patrons every year and it has always selected only the best personalities. And this time around Tanduay’s choice for that personality is KC. Being the best rhum in the country it is only fitting that Tanduay also choose the best girl to be the face of the brand. KC is an actress, singer, dancer, model, and songwriter and a most sought after brand endorser.

Kc Concepcion

KC, who just recently wound up hosting chores in the reality TV competition “The X Factor”, has expressed pride in being picked for the honor and amazement on finding more about the iconic Tanduay brand. “I feel honored about being chosen to endorse Tanduay. I like the idea that Tanduay is an old trusted brand with a lot of history behind it. You know that with a reputation like that, Tanduay will never let you down,” says the lovely KC.
