Alden Richards shares favorite vivo V70 FE features

Tweet

vivo Philippines introduced the vivo V70 FE at a launch event held April 11 at the SM Mall of Asia Atrium, featuring multi-awarded actor and brand ambassador Alden Richards, who shared how the device complements his active lifestyle.

Richards highlighted the smartphone’s 200MP OIS ultra-clear camera, noting its clarity and reliability even during movement. “Since ginamit ko yung vivo V70 FE, ang isa sa mga nagustuhan kong features niya ay the 200 megapixel (camera) feature. Sobrang linaw ng shots. Even when I'm moving, hindi ako nagwo-worry because it has optical image stabilization,” he said.

An endurance sports enthusiast, Richards said he often spends time outdoors running and cycling, where stable and high-quality imaging is essential. He added that the device’s camera allows him to take photos without concern, even while in motion.

During a Q&A segment with host Dani Mortel, Richards shared that he enjoys capturing scenery while cycling and observing nature. He also cited the phone’s zoom capabilities, recalling how he tested it on a statue in Pasig and found that image quality remained clear even when zoomed in. The vivo V70 FE features up to 85mm focal length in portrait mode and up to 30x zoom with AI telephoto enhancement.

Richards also underscored the importance of battery performance in his daily routine. “Sobrang panalo yun especially for me kasi I'm always on the go with different kinds of activities, so I'm always outside using my phone for navigation, music, messaging, calling, taking photos. The longevity of the phone is there to support my lifestyle. Kaya hindi ako nag aalala na malo-low batt siya agad,” he said, referring to the device’s 7000mAh BlueVolt battery paired with 90W FlashCharge.

In a “This or That” segment, Richards shared personal preferences, including early morning rides over late-night drives, nature views over city views, and spontaneity over planning. He also reflected on balancing living in the moment by capturing it through photos, especially with the newest vivo V70 FE.

The event concluded with a meet-and-greet session attended by fans who also pre-ordered the device.

vivo Philippines also announced the winner of its April 12 livestream launch raffle, naming Charisse Rosario-Valenzuela as the recipient of a vivo V70 FE unit. Watch it here, if you missed the event: https://web.facebook.com/vivo.philippines/videos/1422438616231.

Alden Richards' untold “Plan B” story

Tweet

At a time when kids his age were enjoying their teenage years, Alden was forced to deal with the harsh realities of life after his mother passed away from pneumonia in 2008.

"It happened when I was in high school. Mama got sick. Just like that, she was gone. My world suddenly stopped. Our savings were quickly depleted. I had to quit school to help my family earn a living." -  actor and BDO brand ambassador Alden Richards sadly recalled.

Like many Filipino families who relied solely on their savings, Alden and his family—still reeling from their grief—soon found themselves unable to cope with their daily maintenance expenses and unforeseen financial obligations resulting from the loss of his mom. This life-altering event impressed upon Alden the importance of cherishing every moment with his loved ones. Likewise, it taught him the value of planning and preparing for the future, and to ensure that a well-crafted Plan B for life was in place.

As soon as he started earning from his career, Alden wasted no time in finding an appropriate financial protection program to serve as his Plan B for life. On one of his bank visits, he learned that his BDO branch actually had a BDO Life Financial Advisor who could help him craft a Plan B for his needs.

"I miss you, Mom."

Actor and BDO brand ambassador Alden Richards looks longingly at the picture of his late mother.

Alden’s Plan B for life

"I’m now worry-free because I know my loved ones will be okay even if something happens to me," the award-winning actor said. "With life insurance, your plans will continue no matter what happens," he added, emphasizing that life insurance enables families to look forward to a secure future amid life’s uncertainties.

Alden highlighted the ease in availing of financial protection from BDO Life, thanks to the bank's expansive branch network.

"With BDO Life, it's so convenient. They have financial advisors in BDO branches who are always there for you, finding ways to protect you and your family," he said.

Life’s challenges made easier with a trusted partner

Life insurance should be every breadwinner’s priority. It is just as important as any other basic necessity. If anything happens to you, your life insurance policy ensures that your family will be able to continue the lifestyle that you accustomed them to have. It also allows them to pursue their future aspirations without worry.

“When you realize how the benefits of life insurance help make your family’s plans a reality, then you appreciate that owning one is not an option but a responsibility—one responsibility that is not routinely extinguished because of death,” said BDO Life President and CEO Renato A. Vergel De Dios.

“We are the 'Plan B' called upon to respond when your Plan A fails. Our mission is to deliver a service that provides you peace of mind knowing that life will be made easier and more comfortable for those you very much care for,” he added.

BDO Life helps you navigate life’s challenges with a wide range of insurance products to provide you and your family a secure future.

Start your Plan B with BDO Life today. Just visit the nearest BDO branch and look for the BDO Life Financial Advisor. You can also visit BDO Life’s website at www.bdo.com.ph/bdo-life to explore life insurance solutions and get premium quotes based on your financial goals and budget.
