James Reid, the face of the camera-loving generation called millennials, headlines the launch of FUJIFILM’s newest mirrorless innovation, the X-T20.

The extremely popular heartthrob has gone far in his photographic journey. James was drawn to photography while filming the hit series “On the Wings of Love.” He experimented on different cameras until he decided that FUJIFILM suited his needs best. In his last soap “Till I Met You,” James even played a FUJIFILM-armed photographer.

“We’re very happy with James Reid as our male brand ambassador,” says Takuya Maeda, Fujifilm Philippines’ Division Head for Electronic Imaging and Photo Imaging. “He embodies what the FUJIFILM brand is all about --- young, current, and innovative.”

And speaking of innovations, James is proud to announce that he has found a new favorite camera, the X-T20. Handy and powerful, the X-T20 is equipped with a 24.3 MP X-Trans CMOS III *1 sensor and X-Processor Pro image-processing engine. It is able to track moving objects with ease because of updated sensors, processors, and redone AF algorithm. The X-T20’s touchscreen LCD monitor can be used to see before you shoot photos and videos, even at 4K quality to make those professional looking movies together with FUJIFILM’s proprietary Film Simulation modes.

Available in silver and black, the X-T20 is perfect for budding directors with its phenomenal autofocus speed. You can use 24 high-performance FUJINON X-mount lenses for ultimate versatility. You can also shoot in different conditions and still expect superb image quality.

Ryan Agoncillo bags the 2017 Readers Digest Trusted Brands Awards Most Trusted TV Presenter

TV host Ryan Agoncillo adds another distinction to his name after being voted as the Most Trusted TV Presenter at the recently concluded 2017 Readers Digest Trusted Brands Awards held.

He joins a very elite group of personalities composed of Jessica Soho, Mike Enriquez, Vic Sotto, Toni Gonzaga and Manny Pacquiao who have received the Trusted Personality Award in the Philippines.

It was the seventh consecutive year for Soho, the second for Enriquez and the first for Agoncillo who said it was the most special recognition he has received in his career.

“This has to be the most special (award) to date, because Miss Jessica, and Sir Mike were my bosses when I was still in public affairs. I think I was just 19 or 20 back then and I really look up to them,” Agoncillo told THE STANDARD in an interview after receiving the award.

 “The fact that it was from Readers Digest, a magazine I grew up reading, and to be able to share the stage with my former mentors, it really means a lot. It’s not just an award that takes into account what you have accomplished on TV, but more importantly because it means you were voted by the readers because they TRUST you,” he added.

“Sa ingay ngayon where everyone with a cellphone basically has an opinion, masarap ang pakiramdam na maihilera sa  boses na talagang pinagkakatiwalaan like Sir Mike and Miss Jessica. It really feels good to be sharing the same title with them.

Agoncillo was accompanied by wife Judy Ann Santos, whom he referred to as his “lovely date.”

“I’d like to thank my lovely date for tonight for coming with me thank you very much Ms. Judy Ann Santos. It’s an effort when you have three children already to dress up like this, Agoncillo joked.

“In order to raise our children well, we have to be the people we want them to be, so thank you Readers Digest for validating our efforts in trying to raise people with integrity.”

Enriquez on the other hand emphasized the importance of the event to all the awardees. “There is something that binds all of us in this room together. We all depend on Trust—from the consumers and  our audiences. Without trust we are all nothing, the veteran broadcaster said in his speech.

“At a time when media is under threat, it matters where you get your news. So this (award) is very much appreciated and a humbling experience,” Soho said of her 7th consecutive award

Now on its 19th year, the Trusted Brands Survey has become a benchmark in the industry for recognizing the brands and services Filipinos trust, above all others. It also honors the country’s most trusted personalities with the TV news Presenter, Radio News Presenter, and Entertainment/Variety Show Presenter category.

This year the RDTB awards added six more categories, to reflect the changes in the market and recognize the new brands that have made an impact on the consumers buying habits. Among the new categories added to the Trusted Brands awards are Bakery/Pastry Shop; Dog Food; Remittance Center; Pawn shop; Coffee Shop/ Café; and Optical Shop.

“For nearly two decades, we have been surveying consumers in major markets across Asia such as the Philippines, to ask them about the brands they believe and expect to provide premium value and exceptional service,” notes Ms. Sheron White, Group Retail and Advertising Sales Director Reader’s Digest Asia Pacific.

“These respondents are not only composed of Readers Digest subscribers but also of random consumers and we rely on their answers as to which brands deserve their loyalty, support and most importantly their trust. Not only have we learned which brands consumers follow, but more importantly how important trust is in the hearts of people across Asia.”

“As such, being included in this prestigious list is a huge endorsement and one the winners should be very proud of,” Sheron added.

TRUST AND INFLUENCE
While certain brands sign famous celebrities to create a buzz about their products, the recipients of the Trusted Brand awards have gotten the endorsement of the most important people of all—their loyal consumers.

Brands have to work for it for many years and goes hand-in-hand with a good reputation and delivery of customers’ expectations. It emerges out of the very best consumer experiences, and is achieved only by truly understanding your customers and not by mentions and hashtags.

“Trust is that emotion that helps us in making our final decisions whether we are conscious of it or not—it is that intangible quality that we associate with reliability and integrity. Whether it is a product or service, trust is what reassures us that we are making the right choice,” said Sheron.

 “The Reader’s Digest Trusted Brand mark has become a trusted recognizable symbol globally. And we are honored to announce the winners of the latest survey, who will now be able to use this badge of recognition for 2016 to help consumers make the right choices.

CONVERSE x WINNIE HARLOW

The final installment of the Converse Forever Chuck series dives deep into Chucks, from the Runway to the Streets. Paying homage to two of the biggest fashion hubs in the world, London and Paris, the video dives deep into Chuck Taylor’s iconic influence on global fashion.

Hosted by international model Winnie Harlow who was born in Toronto on July 27, 1994. She
was diagnosed with vitiligo at aged four, a condition made widely known by Michael Jackson.

The video who was directed by award-winning filmmaker Karim Huu Do, explores the latest trends in high-low styling that pairs corner thrift shop finds with haute couture. Speaking with ground-breaking leaders within the street style scene, Harlow brings viewers into the forefront of trend-driving fashion movements in London and Paris. The video will also feature cameos from some moguls in the fashion industry who have come to embrace Chuck Taylor as part of their style, including Gucci Gang, Jeremy Egry of Etudes Studio, Sarah Andelman (founder of street style mecca Colette) and Emma Hope Allwood of Dazed.

“Fashion is one of the most influential cultural movements and purest forms of individuality and self-expression,” said Julien Cahn, Chief Marketing Officer at Converse. “The versatility of the Chuck Taylor allows the sneaker to be on point with a high-end couture dress or jeans and has remained an iconic symbol of fashion expression worldwide.”

The Forever Chuck #ForeverChuck series explores three core cultural movements that made the Chuck Taylor iconic: films, LA hip hop and fashion. Each episode uniquely captures the confident and daring spirit of youth that has symbolized Chuck Taylor loyalists in the past, present and future.

With 2,000 stores nationwide, 7-Eleven is now more accessible to more Pinoys as it continues to serve its customers with snacks, drinks, meals, and other services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for over 3 decades.7-eleven 2000th store

From opening their first store in 1984, 7-Eleven has truly come a long way and has grown to become a leading innovator in its field by continuously providing the needs of Filipinos while also introducing new products and services. With only 500 stores 7 years ago, PSC was able to expand to 1,000 stores in 2014, and now to 2,000 stores in just over 2 years.7-eleven press

"Aside from adding more stores, 7-Eleven also expanded its reach to become nationwide by opening its very first store in Visayas in 2012 and Mindanao in 2015. Currently, 7-Eleven is at 255 stores in Visayas and 107 stores in Mindanao. “We are glad to be able to bring modern convenience to more Filipinos, and we are thankful to be part of our customers’ daily lives. With this milestone, we look forward to serving our customers better every day,” Jose Victor Paterno, President and CEO of PSC said.7-eleven press (1)
