British singer-songwriter Anne-Marie announces Dysfunctional Tour coming to Manila on October 16, 2022 at the New Frontier Theater. Presented by Wilbros Live. Tickets go on-sale on Tuesday, July 19 at 10AM via TicketNet.com.ph and at all TicketNet outlets nationwide.

 

Anne-Marie’s rise to stardom has been nothing short of meteoric. A former 3x world karate champion and West End child star turned multi-platinum-selling artist, Anne-Marie has gone onto become one of the world’s most-loved and successful pop stars of our times. Following a string of chart-busting singles over her career to date – from her Ed Sheeran co-write and UK Top 3 ‘2002’ to the garage-infused juggernaut and KSI collaboration ‘Don’t Play’ – Anne-Marie is an artist who wins on her playful commentary, magnetic vocals and infectious personality, as was perfectly showcased her 2016 debut and four million-selling, Speak Your Mind, which became that years’ biggest-selling debut release in the UK.

 

Last year saw Anne-Marie make new strides, too. Making her prime time debut as a new judge on talent show The Voice this year – a show she won - Anne-Marie released her much-anticipated and critically acclaimed second studio album, ‘Therapy’. A title that holds an extremely important message to the Mind Charity ambassador, Anne-Marie has continually campaigned for the conversation surrounding mental health, be that in her YouTube documentary titled ‘How to be Anne-Marie’ or fronting ITV’s Britain Get Talking campaign. Anne-Marie also released her debut book, You Deserve Better; part memoir, part practical self-help, Anne-Marie drew on her own experiences to help readers tackle life’s challenges, embrace opportunities and celebrate their successes.

 

Over her career to date, Anne-Marie has become a BRITs Critics Choice finalist; Nordoff Robbins ‘Best Newcomer’ winner; LGBT ‘Music Artist’ winner for 2021; 9 x BRIT Award nominee; an official ambassador of The Princes Trust and more.

Mekeni expands reach by bringing kikiam, fish balls, and tocino to the US

Another Mekeni food product will be available in the US market soon as Mekeni Food Corporation announced that they are bringing their well-loved tocino through Island Pacific Supermarket.

 

Mekeni President Prudencio Garcia said that this new development in their world-market journey is a testament to their commitment to uplift the lives of Filipinos and bring pride to the country.

Mekeni expands reach by bringing kikiam, fish balls, and tocino to the US. Available in all Island Pacific stores.

“This is another step for us to introduce our own Timplang Atin to the rest of the world. When we introduced our first batch of Mekeni-branded products to the US, we want Filipinos abroad and foreigners alike to have access to the world-class quality and taste we offer,” said Garcia.

 

Last January, Mekeni made their Kikiam and Fish Balls available on the West Coast also through its partnership with Island Pacific Supermarket, one of the area's biggest Asian/Filipino supermarkets.

 

The products were widely accepted by the Filipino community on the West Coast. Stocks immediately ran low just a few days after the new products were announced by Island Pacific on their Facebook page.

 

“We received a lot of positive feedback from families, friends, and friends of friends in the US. Some even asked us to bring more Mekeni products, said Marilou Uy, Mekeni AVP for Export. This inspired Mekeni to speed up its efforts to bring its tocino to the US.

 

“This is a major feat for a brand like Mekeni that started as a backyard business of a simple family. This milestone is a celebration of the efforts of the whole Mekeni family through the years,” Garcia said.

 

Before the US, Mekeni exported food products to international markets such as Dubai, Bahrain, Brunei, Qatar, Australia, Canada, and the UK. It is also the first company accredited by the Japanese government to export cooked products to the country.

For over 30 years, it has been known for its world-class manufacturing capabilities. Mekeni is the first in Asia and the second in the world to receive the certificate of compliance with ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System standard. In 2012 and 2013, Mekeni received the Century International Quality ERA Award (Gold Category) in Switzerland and The International Arch of Europe Platinum Award in Germany, respectively, which further cemented its commitment to food safety and quality.

Investing in the right gadgets and accessories can completely transform the way you play. That’s why we’re rounding up some cool add-ons for avid mobile gamers out there. 

 

1. Infinix NOTE 12

First off, you’ll need a heavy duty gaming phone and the Infinix NOTE 12 is just the gadget for the job. The Infinix NOTE 12 is a best-in-class phone with advanced features designed specifically to improve your gaming experience. 

 

Gamers are bound to enjoy their smoothest gameplay yet thanks to its powerful Helio G96 Ultra Gaming Processor. No lagging, no screen tears, just quick refresh rates and high resolution graphics.

Get your hands on this mobile gaming wonder through its official stores in Lazada and Shopee.  

 

2. Bluetooth headphones or earphones

Get your head in the game by getting yourself some high-quality bluetooth earphones or headphones. 

 

These devices, especially ones with noise-cancelling features, allow you to focus and fully immerse yourself in your game - hearing every strike of a sword or the exciting music in the background. 

 

It’s also very important to have good audio and microphones when you’re playing multiplayer games that involve live comms. 

 

Choosing a bluetooth alternative is also highly recommended since wires can often be troublesome, especially when you’re playing on-the-go. 

 

3. Fast-charging battery

Is there anything more frustrating than losing your game progress because of a drained battery? Imagine being on the verge of winning then suddenly you run out of juice?

 

Luckily, the Infinix NOTE 12 is equipped with a 5000mAh battery that’s perfect for long-haul gaming. If you ever do need to charge, no worries! The Infinix NOTE 12’s 33w fast-charging feature 

 

4. A non-slip phone case

Gain better control of your game with a non-slip phone case. In the thick of the game, gamers need a sturdy and balanced grip on their phones so they can input their actions without fearing that the phone will slip and fall–ruining a good game.

 

This is why a non-slip phone case is important: it allows gamers that extra sense of security and comfort as they hold their phones. Don’t worry about cases making your device bulky because Infinix NOTE 12’s 7.8 mm ultra slim design makes it lightweight even when you use the Infinix clear jelly case or the limited edition PUBG phone case.

 

5. Mobile game controllers 

Willing to splurge a little more? You can actually purchase external controllers that can connect to your phone. You can choose from the mobile game pads that can connect through your phone’s charging port or you can choose bluetooth controllers.

 

With external controllers, you’ll be able to enjoy the Infinix NOTE 12’s bright and crisp True Color AMOLED display a little more without your fingers getting in the way. 

 

Any of these mobile gadgets and accessories seem exciting to you? Upgrade the cutting-edge Infinix NOTE 12 with these must-haves and discover the difference in your gameplay. Learn more about the Infinix NOTE 12 at www.infinixmobility.com.

narzo, the latest game changer in the Philippine smartphone market, arrives in full swing as a standalone brand by introducing two new disruptors of the entry-level and mid-range segment: the narzo 50 5G and the narzo 50 Pro 5G. Its local debut via Facebook and LazLive on July 14 marks the very first time that narzo separates from realme as its own unique entity, making narzo Philippines a trailblazer in Southeast Asia.

The official launch of narzo PH and its two new 5G models is also complemented by offline and online availability nationwide, in a daring effort to provide cutting-edge technology to all Filipinos at an accessible price, wherever they may be. narzo PH aims to equip its users with all-rounder smartphones that offer the best value for money—fast and powerful digital companions that they can rely on for years to come.

“What started out as a vision is now becoming a reality,” explains Allen Yin, Country Manager for narzo Philippines. “The entire narzo team intends to follow through on our brand’s promise of empowering Filipinos with technology. To do that, we’ll establish home bases at 200 locations by the end of this year, on top of e-commerce efforts.”

The fastest newcomer on the block: narzo 50 Pro 5G

The narzo 50 Pro 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G Processor, which uses the latest TSMC 6nm Octa-Core node to assure power efficiency. It can boost to a clock speed of 2.5GHz, ensuring faster app response, enhanced gaming experience, and better connection. Additionally, the Arm Mali-G68 GPU overclocks the GPU frequency and improves performance by up to 9% versus its predecessor—making it one of the fastest in its price segment. This is further complemented by Dynamic RAM Expansion (DRE) of up to 5GB additional Dynamic RAM for even the most hardware-intensive games.

The bane of speed is often overheating, luckily it comes equipped with a five-layer cooling system that provides up to 10 C temperature reduction in the core area. This industry-leading Vapor Chamber Cooling System uses three-layer graphite sheets that effectively insulate the heat conduction and avoid hot spots in the z-direction, in turn guiding the heat dissipation in the XY-plane.

Its 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display comes with a 90Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate, ensuring each swipe is smooth and seamless. Take it to the great outdoors, as the screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, and the dual stereo speakers from Dolby Atmos provide louder and more immersive sound, even when outside.

At the back, the narzo 50 Pro 5G also allows for impressive photography with its  48MP Triple Camera Setup, with a 48MP main camera, an 8MP super-wide angle camera at 120 degrees, and a 4cm Macro lens.

It also features a new generation in-display fingerprint scanner with a Heart Rate Sensor, enabling users to not only rapidly unlock their smartphones but also to keep track of their health. It will be available in two colors inspired by Kevlar: Hyper Blue and Hyper Black.

It has a 6.6-inch FHD+ Ultra Smooth Display that ensures there are no lags or stutters when playing games, and a 90.7% screen-to-body ratio that gives a more immersive watching experience with its thin bezels. 

It packs a 48MP Nightscape Main Camera equipped with specialized night filters so users can capture high resolution photos even in low light situations.  In terms of audio, it comes with Dual Stereo Speakers that have been given a Hi-res gold certification.

Inside the sturdy and stylish Kevlar-inspired shell, the narzo 50 5G sports a 5000mAh Massive Battery with 33W Dart Charge that can juice up your device from zero to a hundred in just 72 minutes. It has a Super Power Saving Mode that can reduce power consumption to prolong battery life even at just 5% remaining. It also features the Smart 5G Power Saving Technology, which senses the surrounding signal environment and intelligently switches between 4G and 5G, allowing the reduction of the smartphone’s power consumption by up to 30%.

Its large 128GB built-in memory can be expanded with up to 1TB of external MicroSD storage. Similarly, it will also be available in two colors: Hyper Blue and Hyper Black.

Get the narzo 50 5G series ahead of the pack 

The narzo 50 Pro 5G will be available in an 8GB+128GB single variant that retails for PHP 15,999 while the narzo 50 5G will be available in a 6GB+128GB single variant that retails for only PHP 12,999.

As an early bird exclusive offer only on Lazada, both new 5G models will be at PHP 2,000 off when you add to cart starting July 15 midnight until July 20. This means that our lightning-fast narzo fans can snag the 5G game changers ahead of everyone else, at a heavily discounted flash price of only PHP 13,999 and PHP 10,999, respectively.

Aside from these newly launched 5G smartphones, the 4GB+128GB variant of the earlier narzo 50A will also be discounted from PHP 7,999 down to PHP 6,999.

narzo supports the game changing realme partnership with RSG PH, local esports talent

narzo could not have been launched on a more opportune timing, as realme and narzo are supporting RSG Philippines through a new partnership that was announced on the same day. The RSG Philippines esports team have proven themselves to be game changers by reigning supreme in last June’s Mobile Legends Southeast Asia Cup (MSC). 

This sponsorship is another progressive step for both realme and narzo’s advocacy of supporting the local esports scene and nurturing up-and-coming grassroots talent, giving players an avenue to shine in the global arena.

To commemorate the momentous occasion, RSG Philippines’ active roster of Mobile Legends champs attended the July 14 launch alongside key executives, which served as their first public appearance as knights flying the realme banner.

The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) 2022 continues this September, and will surely prove to be one of its most exhilarating seasons yet, as realme RSG Philippines is slated to defend their title against returning superstars OhMyV33NUS and Wise.
