OPPO Reno5’s latest camera technologies will allow you to picture life together better with your family and loved ones

OPPO is set to launch the much awaited ultimate smartphone videography powerhouse, the OPPO Reno5 4G and Reno5 5G this February 2021. OPPO Reno5’s latest camera technologies will allow you to picture life together better with your family and loved ones. 

 

“We are thrilled to officially introduce the new OPPO Reno5 4G and Reno5 5G in February. With the steady growth of 5G in the country and our cutting-edge camera technologies, we promise to equip young Filipinos with a Reno smartphone that can inspire them more to creatively #PictureLifeTogether with friends and family in this highly digital-driven lifestyle,” said Raymond Xia, OPPO Philippines Marketing Director.

A phone that adapts to your ever-changing lifestyle

 

In facing the new demands brought by the 5G era, and in keeping with the Reno series’ long-standing pursuit of providing a superior video and photo experience, OPPO has developed a more advanced and more comprehensive imaging system on the new Reno5 4G and Reno5 5G – the OPPO Full Dimension Fusion (FDF) Portrait Video System. Based on top-end imaging hardware, innovative image processing algorithms, and user-centric software, the OPPO FDF Portrait Video System caters to the diverse video creation needs of users in almost any situation, empowering them to capture the joy of life in every moment with easy-to-create professional-quality video content. 

 

Picture Life Together with Friends

 

OPPO’s consumer research has shown that the core need for consumers is the ability to capture clear videos in any situation, and in a way that expresses their own unique style. At the same time, they want this process to be simple and easy to use.

 

OPPO believes the best way to solve this consumer need is through the perfect integration of imaging hardware and software. The all-new OPPO Full Dimension Fusion Portrait Video System works on the basis of top-end imaging hardware in tandem with flexible, intelligent software, together with OPPO’s extensive expertise in portrait scene detection and portrait feature design. The result is a world-class portrait video experience for users on the new OPPO Reno5 4G and Reno5 5G.

 

A camera perfect for every moment

 

The Reno5 4G and Reno5 5G boasts the OPPO FDF Portrait Video System which guarantees clear images in any scenario, whether that be day, night, in strong backlight, while in motion or while standing still. It also  ensures the portrait subjects and the background are clearly and naturally defined.

 

OPPO’s original, industry-leading AI Highlight Video now uses new generation technology which is capable of detecting light levels in a scene, and intelligently and optimally adjusts brightness, color and clarity in videos resulting in smooth video from frame to frame, vibrant colors, and reduces noise. This is the first time OPPO has united Ultra Night Video and Live HDR under one feature, which is available on both the front and rear cameras of both devices. 

 

OPPO has also included a host of features such as AI Color Portrait (except Reno5 5G), Monochrome Video, AI Mixed Portrait (only available on Reno5 4G) and more which gives users the power to create content with deeper and more creative stories. The phone’s FDF Portrait Video System also includes the Portrait Perception Engine to let users shoot in their style. 

 

Other camera features include the Scene Design Manager which analyzes different scenarios to give the user high quality images wherever they are and Portrait Recognition which instantly recognizes the portrait subject in the image and separates them from the image background. In addition to facial recognition, it can also detect and track moving human bodies within a video and extract these portrait subjects with precision from even the most complex backgrounds so you can still be the highlight of a shot even if you’re in a busy environment. 

 

From beginning to end, the Reno5 4G and Reno5 5G are the new additions to OPPO’s powerful technology to simplify the complicated task of video capture, editing, and sharing off of users’ hands, leaving them with a simple-yet-professional means to record and create their own stories. 

 

For more information about the latest OPPO Reno5 4G, Reno5 5G, and all of OPPO’s exclusive deals, visit the official website at www.oppo.com/ph or via the official Facebook page at OPPO Philippines. 

 

Making connections that matter with PLDT Home

Many families are now looking forward to the start of the new year at home. Despite the hardships and challenges that the past months of quarantine have posed, there are still so many things that everyone can be thankful for, especially that staying safe at home has brought everyone closer together.

 

When everybody welcomed the new decade full of hopes and excitement, no one could have predicted how a health crisis would put an indefinite pause on their plans and resolutions for the year. However, radio personality and wonder-mom Riki Flo felt blessed to have spent the time in quarantine with the company of her loving family. 

 

She says, “I realized that spending time at home with people you love the most is a luxury, and when life got too real, I was reminded of that. And though we may not have had as many adventures outside this year, we made many memories at home and that allowed us to become closer.”

 

 

Bonding in the new normal 

When the news of the lockdown first broke in the country, Riki remembers how she prepared for the quarantine by purchasing art supplies for her children. A mother of two young and energetic kids, Calix and Dandy, she knew that the isolation would be a difficult period of adjustment for them and wanted to brighten things up.

 

“Being isolated from the world is tough and if we were going to be holed up for a while, I wanted them to enjoy themselves at home. I bought different art supplies and creative materials in case they wanted to experiment and make crafts,” she said. 

 

She also introduced her little ones to the world of gardening. Lately, their family has been nurturing a newfound love for plants, flowers, and even insects. This little hobby of theirs has also turned out to be a learning experience as they would be looking up the species and reading more about them on the internet. 

 

Embracing the new digital lifestyle 

Going online has not just been a source of latest news, updates, and additional knowledge for Riki’s family. She goes as far as to say that the internet has made life in quarantine more bearable for her and her kids. 

 

“With reliable connections from PLDT Fibr, we were able to keep in touch with our different family members and friends through video calls. We also enjoyed family movie nights by watching new and old films together, and we even fell in love with K-pop,” she expresses. It seems that through streaming music videos of Korean idols that Riki uncovered a special hidden talent of her children: dancing! 

 

Riki also mentions how four-year-old Calix was able to continue with his kindergarten classes online seamlessly with help of PLDT. With PLDT’s new whole home wifi mesh system, they have been able to enjoy consistent connectivity with no dead spots in the household. This has enabled them to discover new ways to work, learn, and play from every corner of the room, including the kids’ newly transformed study area. 

 

“At first, it was difficult to get him to understand why everything had to be through a computer screen right now, but we have all adapted and our mornings are much smoother now,” she shares. “I’m also thankful because my husband and I tag team when it comes to Calix’s online classes. He prints the materials and I sit in and facilitate the actual class.” 

 

One thing that Riki is grateful for in this year is how she was able to understand her family more. She says, “As a mom, I can say that I saw and learned more about my kids, about their interests and their talents. I wouldn’t have been able to get closer to them if I wasn’t working from home.”

 

She also adds, “It’s all about being patient with the kids and learning how to stretch things out. It’s very important that we can support and guide them as these experiences and memories are part of their childhood.” 

 

This new year can be full of challenges, but it is also packed with hope and anticipation. With PLDT making sure that our connections are faster and more stable than ever, we can be excited to face the days to come.

Promote better health with 3M Air Cleaning Filter Sheets

In these difficult times, it is important that the air we breathe is clean and healthy especially now that everyone is working from home  and our kids with their remote learning.

For most of us, living in these extraordinary times has made optimum health the primary objective in our lives once more. With our priorities coming into much clearer focus, we are fast regaining appreciation for things that we used to take for granted. 

 

This is especially significant now that people are spending more time than ever in their domiciles—from adults working from home to children coping with online learning. We’d like to safeguard our families’ health 24/7 but unfortunately, allergens and pollutants like smoke, pet dander, and fumes from household chemicals can accumulate in our homes. Some of these are trapped in our air conditioners and spread around each time the units are switched on. More often, these are the common causes of allergies and other respiratory illnesses.

So how do we ensure that air quality in our abodes remains clean and untainted? For those looking to preserve good air quality at home, the best solution is 3M Air Cleaning Filter Sheets. This innovative product from 3M captures 93% of PM2.5 particles* and outperforms ordinary AC screens by at least 60 times**. 

 

“As we rediscover the joy of spending more time at home, it’s incredibly important to make sure that the air we breathe is clean and healthy,” says Lai Mei Yip, Command™ & HEM Portfolio Manager of 3M. “This is why we’re proud to offer 3M Air Cleaning Filter Sheets as an absolute must-have for all families.” 

 

Yip adds, “The better the quality of air, the better we feel to face each day’s challenges.” 

 

The 3M Air Cleaning Filter Sheets work effectively by first pulling in the allergens and small particles, traps it, then finally delivers cleaner air. It addresses the common household dust, pollen, dust mite debris, mold pores and pet dander. 

 

Each pack contains 4 sheets of 8’’ x 13’’ and 2 filter-change Koala indicators that also turns black to help you notify when it’s time to change the AC Filters. 

 

To install the 3M Air Cleaning Filter Sheets, remove and clean the plastic mesh screen that comes with your aircon units. Cut the filter sheets following the shape and size of the built-in plastic mesh screen. Place the 3M Air Cleaning Filter Sheets vertically onto the center of the plastic mesh screens. Allow gaps on each side. Use the double-faced adhesive tape to attach the filters to the mesh screens. Install the plastic mesh screens with 3M Air Cleaning Filter Sheets back into the air conditioner. Replace filter once every 1-3 months. 

 

You can buy the 3M Air Cleaning Filter Sheets at select supermarkets nationwide.

NutriAsia and Papa team up with DepEd to teach students about proper nutrition

Proper diet and nutrition are crucial in young children’s formative years. These foster proper development for children, leading to good health, intelligence, and behavior, thus giving them better chances in succeeding later in life.

In light of this, NutriAsia and Papa forged a partnership with both Marylindbert International and the Department of Education (DepEd) for school year 2020-2021, the Pinggang Pinoy Pina-Sweet Sarap Comprehensive School Program. It is a special module that teaches the importance of having the right diet and nutrition. Powered by Papa Banana Catsup and Papa Spaghetti Pack, the program aims to educate Grade 1 and 2 Filipino students about how keeping a good diet with the right nutrition leads to proper and healthy development. 

“With the Pinggang Pinoy Pina-Sweet Sarap Comprehensive School Program, we have a whole plan ready for teaching young Filipinos how to keep a proper diet and take in the nutrients they need,” said NutriAsia President and COO Angie Flaminiano. “We hope to be a part of their good growth and development and, in turn, the Philippines’ growth as well.” The Pinggang Pinoy program will be launched in 30 participating schools across the country, namely in Regions I, X, XI, and the Cordillera Administrative Region. 

The class module is the first in the three-stage Pinggang Pinoy program. The second stage will involve cooking demonstrations and activities that will show students and parents how to prepare healthy snacks using Papa products. The final stage will involve a cooking contest that will challenge students, teachers and parents to create unique recipes using Papa Banana Catsup and Papa Spaghetti Pack.

Papa’s advocacy of helping educate Filipinos in the classroom and beyond has also led them to produce edutainment Facebook videos for NutriAsia’s HomeSchool Program. These videos can be viewed at https://nutriasia.com/homeschool/

Smile Train beep cards will be introduced and made available at various MRT, LRT and bus stations in NCR

More than 4,000 children are born with a cleft lip or palate annually in the Philippines, all of whom can greatly benefit from surgery and comprehensive cleft lip and palate care. Through its sustainable model, Smile Train has supported more than 1.5 million cleft palate surgeries in the Philippines since 1999. With the support of partners such as AFPI, Smile Train is confident that it can bring a smile to the lives of more Filipino children in the years to come.

Smile Train, the world’s leading cleft charity, furthers its commitment to champion Filipino children with cleft and spread more smiles through a partnership with AF Payments Inc. (AFPI), the joint venture between Ayala Group and First Pacific Group behind the contactless smart card, beep. To sustain its goal to provide children with cleft with the urgent support and care they need, special edition Smile Train beep cards will be introduced and made available at various MRT, LRT and bus stations in NCR.

“We are excited to be able to contribute to this noble cause and to be of assistance to children with cleft. During these uncertain times, they continue to need special care and assistance. We are grateful that Smile Train has chosen to partner with us and provide us this opportunity to help out and provide cards that bring a message of hope,” said Sharon G. Fong, Chief Commercial Officer of AF Payments Inc. 

Smile Train’s series of special edition beep cards will feature celebrity goodwill ambassadors beginning with actress and model, Marian Rivera-Dantes who has been a supporter of the organization for over six years.  “Naging part kami ni Dingdong [Dantes] ng 30,000th cleft surgery celebration sa San Fernandino Hospital in 2014, at doon ako unang naging saksi sa life-changing work ng Smile Train. Inspired ako by their story so ngayon I make sure to help as much as I can and spread awareness para mas maraming tao pa ang mabigyan ng libreng operasyon at other services for children with cleft,” she shares. 

[“Dingdong [Dantes] and I were part of the 30,000th cleft surgery celebration at San Fernandino Hospital’s in 2014, and there, I was able to witness Smile Train’s life-changing work. I was inspired by them and moved to do my part in raising awareness for Smile Train to reach more children with cleft and provide them with free operations and services.”]

The August launch of the first in the series of special edition Smile Train beep cards coincides with the birthday month of Marian Rivera-Dantes. Rivera-Dantes has been an avid supporter of the cause and has been known to mobilize her clout to further push for advocacies she espouses. The actress previously celebrated her birthday by coming up with her own fundraising efforts and donating half a million pesos to Smile Train Philippines gained through sales of limited edition shirts in partnership with one of the Filipino brands she endorses. 

Other celebrities featured on the special edition Smile Train beep cards include Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray and Miss World Philippines 2013 Megan Young. Catriona and Megan have continued to support Smile Train Philippines as they raise awareness for the charity’s efforts in empowering local medical professionals to provide free cleft surgery and comprehensive cleft care. A lot must be done for the 540 babies around the world born every day with a cleft, a serious health condition with potentially life-threatening complications such as difficulty in eating, breathing, hearing, and speaking.

With thousands of Filipinos using them for everyday needs, especially for transportation, the charity sees this as an effective way to convey the message that help is at hand for those children in need of cleft lip and palate surgery or care. Smile Train hopes that whenever Filipino commuters encounter a child who needs help, they can simply refer to their beep cards to get the contact details of Smile Train.

The investment that provides peace of mind

We all know that death is something that we can never predict. Its best that we are prepared if something unforeseen happens to us or in the family. If you have already invested in a memorial lot, good for you. If not and you are planning to get one in the future, then you may consider checking Golden Haven.

In the wake of a turbulent year that upended jobs and threw people’s income opportunities in disarray, more Filipinos are now taking a hard look at investment options that could provide a safety net for the uncertain times. And one sector that is especially seen as potential investors is that of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).

 

Golden Haven built their reputation off beautiful, inviting spaces that inspire loving tributes to the dearly departed.

Hardworking OFWs all over the world are aptly regarded as “mga bagong bayani” for helping keep the Philippine economy afloat through the remittances they send home. Their immense contribution to our national coffers can’t be understated. The Philippine Statistics Association discloses that in 2020 alone, these Filipinos sent an average of $2.8 billion despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, recent surveys reveal that OFWs are utilizing their remittances for investments as preparation for their retirement.

 

These modern-day heroes are simply reaping the rewards of their hard work, one of which is having substantial cash to funnel into stable investment options such as treasury bonds, mutual funds, time deposits, stocks, and properties. However, OFWs who continue to toil abroad prefer passive income that requires little or no effort to grow. 

Seen as secure, no-fuss assets that prove lucrative even for first-time investors, memorial lots in the Philippines provide robust value appreciation, especially when offered by the most trusted real estate developers. Thus, there’s no better place to look than Golden Haven, a well-established name in the deathcare industry. 

 

Building their reputation off beautiful, inviting spaces that inspire loving tributes to the dearly departed, Golden Haven is now present in more than 30 major cities all over the Philippines, with more locations in the pipeline. As such, OFWs can choose to invest in memorial lots in or close to their hometowns. 

 

In fact, almost 20 percent of Golden Haven’s buyers are OFWs who now earn an average of 20 percent annually in terms of value appreciation. Golden Haven memorial lots currently range from Php 53,800 for a single lawn lot to Php 10M for mausoleums. These prices are only expected to rise with time as Golden Haven has shown consistent value appreciation through the years. 

 

Golden Haven memorial lots currently range from Php 53,800 for a single lawn lot to Php 10M for mausoleums.

The process of investing in memorial properties has also been made easier for immigrants anywhere in the world as Golden Haven now offers online services through their website. Reservations and payments may be done with a simple click from their computer or mobile device. 

Investors can also choose from a variety of payment options and plans that include long-lasting maintenance, wherein funds are used for the property and the overall maintenance of the park. Once a buyer has fully paid for their plan, they’re also guaranteed ownership in perpetuity. 

 

Red Rosales, COO of Golden Haven, is upbeat that with economic factors such as lower bank rates being more conducive to investing, OFWs can safely allocate their hard-earned money to the purchase of Golden Haven memorial properties. “We extend great care and consideration to all our clients to ensure that they get absolute benefits from investing in Golden Haven,” he says. “It’s that same love and care that have made Golden Haven an enduring name in the deathcare industry.”

Golden Haven is a subsidiary of publicly listed Golden MVHoldings Inc., currently positioned as one of the largest real estate companies in the country in terms of market capitalization valued at more than 200 billion pesos.
