Sarah Geronimo, KathNiel, SB19 to headline Acer Day 2021!

The annual Acer Day celebration is back this year and will be held virtually across 10 regions. Amid the challenges of the pandemic, this event which features fabulous rewards, promotions, and gifts has been themed ‘Live Your World’ to encourage everybody to make the best of whatever situation they are in. 

Acer Day was first introduced in 2017 to celebrate the brand’s achievements with customers. This year, Acer is bringing the celebration online due to public health concerns during the pandemic. In line with the ‘Live Your World’ theme, Acer collaborated with six young and vibrant singers virtually to produce the special song of the theme title. Singing for the Philippines is the Pop Royalty Sarah Geronimo. She is joined by five other singers namely Aina Abdul from Malaysia, Earth Patravee from Thailand, Prince from Indonesia, GBOYSWAG from Taiwan, and VP Ba Vuong from Vietnam.

“Most of us are encouraged to stay home and reduce social activities. However, we want to tell all our fans that staying at home does not mean you have to be alone. The Acer Day theme of ‘Live Your World’ this year draws inspiration from the belief that all of us can make the best of any situation and continue to live our lives, no matter where we are and what constraints we are under. Technology has broken barriers and enabled people to stay connected even more. We believe music is the best medium to transcend borders and circumstances, that’s why we invited the artists to create a special song -Live Your World,” said Andrew Hou, president of Acer Pan Asia Pacific Operations.

 

Acer has prepared a series of performances and activities that will go live at 8:00PM PST on August 7, 2021 as a platform for everyone to connect simultaneously this year. The event can be viewed together by all at Acer Facebook.

Power couple Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla #Kathniel graced the Perfect Shot Vivo V9 mall tour

I remember seeing Daniel Padilla (DJ) in person 4 years ago for an event that I have attended at BGC. I was on time when he was featured as one of the endorsers of a chichirya. I instantly became a fan not because of his good looks (okay that was given)  , but because I love how he takes care of his mother and siblings. He is a good son. His priority is always his family.

Plus, he is a Padilla, just like his tito Robin Padilla. I will forever be a fan. And I will support this loveteam Kathniel as well.

So when I got an invite from Vivo, I said yes right away.  I bought 3 phones just to get a good shot from him. I was I should say in heaven. Seeing him in person was surreal again.  I have attached their pictures here for the fans.

Vivo, one of the top smartphone brands in the Philippines, recently welcomed to its roster of brand endorsers Ivan Dorschner, Edward Barber, and, Elisse Joson--the other  half of the McLisse love team--reuniting with her loveteam partner McCoy De Leon.

They joined love Vivo Philippines power couple Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, lovingly known as KathNiel to their avid fans, who were launched as endorsers of the smartphone brand in September 2017.

Last April 21, Saturday, the two local teen royalties graced the Perfect Shot Perfect View Vivo V9 mall tour and consumer launch held at the SM Mall of Asia. The event was even more special since it was KathNiel's first Vivo V9 mall tour.

KathNiel on April 21, 2018, Saturday enjoyed visiting the different booths at the Vivo V9 mall tour in SM Mall of Asia.

Both Kathryn and Daniel are thrilled over Vivo’s newest flagship phone, the V9. A self-confessed selfie addict, Kathryn has always said she loves the V9’s camera.

“I love taking selfies so having a reliable front camera is important [to] me,” she said when asked what she appreciates about V9’s camera features. 

“[I like it] that the Vivo V9 has a 24 megapixel AI selfie camera with an AI Face Beauty feature [as these] enhance my natural looks.” 

Moreover, Kathryn is excited about the V9’s dual camera. A travel enthusiast, Kathryn can now take flawless shots using the V9’s dual rear camera and make them more interesting by with the special bokeh mode.

Daniel, on the other hand, makes good use of his Vivo V9 when playing video games. With his busy lifestyle, Daniel can relax while playing with the V9’s upgraded Game Mode to create a customized, uninterrupted gaming experience.

“[When I am on my free, relaxing time, there is no problem] blocking message alerts and calls when I am on my phone playing a video game.” Daniel testifies. 

Because of the V9’s Snapdragon 626, a powerful chipset, Daniel is also able to experience a smoother performance when playing a video game on his Vivo V9.

Kathniel, being movie stars are likewise movie buffs. With the Vivo V9’s 6.3 inch Full view display, watching films whether or not they are on the go makes for a better visual experience.

Both Kathryn and Daniel personify the young and hip Filipino demographic that it is why Vivo had no second thoughts signing up the love duo to represent the brand. With the impact of their huge following on and off social media, Vivo is set to earn a surefire top spot in the hearts of smartphone users nationwide.

Kathniel’s Vivo mall tour is only one of Vivo Philippines’ efforts to introduce their latest flagship smartphone, the Vivo V9 closer to the smartphone users. The Vivo V9 is an artificial intelligence (AI) selfie camera with a 16 MP+5 MP dual-camera setup.

Much like its predecessors, the V7 and V7+, the V9 also rocks a 24 MP selfie camera that comes with features like AI Face Beauty Natural Light, Studio Light, and Monochrome background which brings selfie-taking with the new Vivo smartphone several notches higher in the quality scale. Selfie-fans will also benefit in the ample phone display of the Vivo V9 as it could improve the overall composition of every photograph taken, with enhanced clarity and definition.

My Oishi OWow! Moment with Daniel Padilla

“I had my entire Saturday planned when my editor [ED] texted me at around 10 am asking to attend an  Oishi event scheduled at noon.

I said yes, took a quick shower, grabbed a shirt and a pair of jeans, laced up my chucks and rushed to the LRT. It usually took an hour to get to Bonifacio Global City from my place but because of the heavy traffic– and no thanks to the wrong directions ED gave me (“Just look for the IHOP Building, he said”) which was

actually a few blocks off — it took me an hour and a half to get there.

I had to ask 5 guards on almost every street corner who were equally confused before I finally made it to the W Bldg building on High Street. I had to freshen up inside the elevator, since I was perspiring from the long walk and thankfully looked less haggard when I reached the Skye Lounge.

The venue looked quite different from the night parties/event photos I see on Facebook as it transformed into a festive summer arcade with the bright red , yellow, orange and green, colors of my favorite Oishi snacks. There was a mini Oishi Sari Sari Store stacked with everyone’s favorites crunchy treats and I loved the color blocking it creates–plus their healthy drink Oaties and Smart C+.

After signing the guest list, Miss Martha of Bridges PR handed me a white towel, an Oishi sack bag, and a pink Oishi printed scarf and told me that there would be a  game and I was part of the pink team.  The program had already started with RJ Ledesma doing hosting chores with a female radio DJ.

I squeezed my way near the front of the stage hoping to get some decent photos and noticed there were a lot of celebrities, media and bloggers, some with their entire families in tow to support the event. Some of the celebrities I spotted were Phil and James Younghusband, Mikaela Lagdameo Martinez and family, Pia Magalona and her children, Anton del Rosario and Ms. Tessa Prieto Valdez with her daughter Athena.  There were also several young children running around mesmerized by all the goodies around them.

Oishi’s O! Wow! endorsers were then introduced to lead their teams–Ramon Bautista for the Green Team, Elmo Magalona for the Red Team, Slater Young for Yellow Team.

RJ then described the games available such as the Oaties milk the cow, Ramon’s Boot Camp, Scramble, the Elmo Jeep, Slater Young’s Zorb, a big rolling plastic ball and Daniel’s Padilla’s shoot out basketball hoop and the prizes at stake for the winning team. 

As I was busy taking pictures, RJ then called in another ambassador for Oishi– and I was taken back by the sudden movements of everyone pointing their cameras to the guy in a white Oishi Team O shirt, wayfarer shades, tattered jeans and his high cut running black shoes– I actually caught a whiff of his scent before I saw him come up the stage– and he smelled divine.

And just like that, it seemed time stood still for a moment as everyone’s eyes were glued on this teen heartthrob they call DJ or Daniel Padilla.

I admit I am more of a fan (make that die-hard fan)  of his uncle Robin Padilla way back my college days, and Daniel exuded almost that same rugged charm and mystery that made most girls and ladies–including me find irresistible .

Not to sound like a cradle snatcher, but I finally understood why he’s one– if not the most popular teen actor today. He has loads of appeal, he is young, fresh and was quite taller than I expected.. His famous #medyobadboy also perfectly suited his rebellious image though he was really quiet.

He was, or should I say seeing him was my perfect Oishi O Wow! moment. Much as I hate to admit it, I felt like a high school girl who just met her long time crush. Had they asked to us to form a Daniel Padilla fan’s club on that day, I would have volunteered– or fought my way to be president. I think I’m still blushing as I type this.

I was on cloud nine and I forgot about walking 30 minutes under the heat of the midday sun and that my stomach was already growling for some decent lunch.

I stood there dumbfounded as Daniel displayed his basketball prowess, shooting hoops, and gamely posed for photos with everyone. I keenly observed how he smiled, the way he talked, walked and posed.

What I’d do to be in Kathryn Bernardo’s shoes and spend a day with Daniel Padilla…hayz.

Just as Ed instructed (REQUESTED lang! –ED), I went home carrying a big bag full of Oishi goodies…and an Oishi OWow memory in my heart that would always be remembered.

Happy 40th anniversary Oishi! Thanks for re-igniting the fan in me after all these years. I didn’t know Johnny Depp would ever have to share top spot with a much younger Daniel Padilla.

Curse of the blurred photo-op! haha.

Now I couldn’t wait for the next Oishi O Wow! event!
