Anne, Marian star in vivo X300 Ultra camera showdown

Tweet

The new vivo X300 Ultra proved that smartphone photography can now rival professional cameras during a live fashion shoot led by renowned celebrity and fashion photographer BJ Pascual at Manila House.

Hosted by Joey Mead King and held in front of Manila’s tastemakers and notable personalities, including Georgina Wilson, Bea Soriano, and Eric Dee Jr., the showcase highlighted the imaging power of the vivo X300 Ultra beside a professional mirrorless camera setup.

The live shoot featured vivo ambassadors Anne Curtis and Marian Rivera as subjects, while BJ Pascual captured photos using both devices.

For his mirrorless setup, Pascual used three different lenses. In contrast, the vivo X300 Ultra delivered the same creative flexibility through its dual 200MP Triple ZEISS Master Lenses system, which includes:

●        14mm ZEISS Ultra Wide-Angle Camera,

●        35mm ZEISS Documentary Camera, 

●        85mm ZEISS Gimbal-Grade APO Telephoto Camera. 

The side-by-side comparison demonstrated how the vivo X300 Ultra can produce professional-grade depth, detail and cinematic quality in a compact smartphone.

Beyond photography, the vivo X300 Ultra also showcased advanced filmmaking capabilities. All cameras on the device support 4K 120fps 10-bit LOG video and Dolby Vision recording. These features give creators greater control in color grading, slow-motion capture and cinematic storytelling, making the device suitable for professional shoots, fashion reels, and digital filmmaking.

Here are the highlights of the event shot on vivo X300 Ultra.

“The vivo X300 Ultra was designed to push mobile imaging beyond expectations. By combining ZEISS optics with advanced video capabilities, users can now achieve results once only possible with professional camera systems,” vivo Philippines Brand Marketing Director Liu Lu shared.

While the camera system is built for professionals, vivo emphasizes that the X300 Ultra is also designed for everyday users who want premium-quality content without the complexity of traditional camera equipment.

For Marian Rivera, the device fits naturally into her lifestyle and creative process.

“Super love ko talaga ang vivo X300 Ultra. Kaya niyang sumabay sa lifestyle and creativity ko. Kahit anong i-shoot ko na content or everyday moments, ang dali niyang gamitin. Very premium talaga siya, at saka cinematic result talaga,” she said.

Rivera also praised the smartphone’s clarity and zoom capabilities. “Kahit naka zoom na, sobrang clear pa rin,” she added.

Meanwhile, Anne Curtis highlighted the importance of detail and storytelling in fashion and content creation.

“When it comes to fashion and style, it's so important to have a camera that shows the detail. That's why I think this is perfect,” Curtis shared.

She also emphasized the value of cinematic video for creators today. “Storytelling is important in my career. Whether it be fashion reels, and I think Marian can relate to this. We like to shoot our content, our BTS, our films, so having a really great camera is essential,” she said.

Home Credit PH welcomes its anniversay celebration with its theme "Salamat sa tiwala"

-----------------------------------------------------------

As it enters a new era of service, HCPH remains firm in its commitment to providing its customers with financing access. It continues to develop innovative financing solutions and credit opportunities to enable Filipinos to achieve their goals and to adapt to the changing financial landscape through various credit products and value-added services.

In its 11th year and having served 11 million customers, HCPH is dedicated to being the financial ally of every Filipino, empowering them at every stage of their lives. The company has diligently expanded its sales networks nationwide, reaching 75 out of 81 provinces to make its solutions accessible to those who need them the most.

A celebration of milestones and trust

As HCPH welcomed its 11th year of service, the company commemorated the occasion with an event highlighting its users’ tiwala for the brand. The affair showcased and thanked its customers who have trusted HCPH throughout the years and honored those who have remained loyal since the company was launched in 2013.

Eleven of the company’s loyal customers were recognized during a program held at Trinoma’s Activity Center on Oct 25. These patrons have availed of 11 or more products from HCPH. As a token of appreciation, they were each given a P20,000 cheque, had the opportunity to bond with HCPH’s brand ambassador Marian Rivera, and were serenaded by guest band Nobita.

“At Home Credit, we believe in building lasting partnerships with our customers. Our loyal customers are the heart of our brand, and their continued support has paved the way for our continued success in the past ten years. As we now welcome a new year of service, their trust serves as our fuel to grow and their support propels us to continue innovating our financial solutions,” Sheila Paul, HCPH Chief Marketing Officer, remarked.

A partnership built on trust

One of HCPH’s guests during its anniversary event was the Kapuso Primetime Queen herself, Marian Rivera, who, apart from bonding with the crowd and HCPH’s 11 loyal customers, was there to announce her partnership renewal with the company.

A brand ambassador for more than a year now, Marian agreed to continue her reign as the face of the country’s leading consumer finance company for two more years. Her return isn't just a routine endorsement—it's a bold statement about trust and her unwavering commitment to a brand that empowers Filipinos.

“A trusted brand ambassador is more than just a face—they are a reflection of the values and integrity that drive one’s brand’s growth. When a respected individual endorses our company, it sends a powerful message to our customers that their trust is valued, and their well-being is a priority.

This renewal of the partnership with Marian, who is known for her credibility and longevity in the entertainment industry aligns with Home Credit’s drive for trust and our commitment to being the Filipinos’ financial ally,” Paul added.

A financial ally in times of need

As the Filipinos’ trusted financial ally, and as part of its commitment to empowering them at every stage of their life, HCPH also recognizes its role in standing by its customers and communities in times of need.

As part of its immediate response to the recent typhoon that has impacted many lives across the country, HCPH also announced during the event that it will be making a financial contribution to a trusted charity close to Marian’s heart, the GMA Kapuso Foundation, to support relief efforts for those who were affected.

“Home Credit is committed to assisting those in need. Apart from our donation, we hope that our products, such as Home Credit Protect, will provide some relief during this difficult time. Whether it’s through home coverage plans or loan flexibility features, we want our customers to know that we are here to support them through every challenge,” Zdenek Jankovsky, HCPH Chief Business Development Officer, concluded.

This campaign underscores DITO's unwavering dedication to enriching the lives of the Filipino people, providing them with reliable connectivity and innovative solutions to help turn their digital aspirations into reality. It also reflects DITO's growing fan base, with more and more Filipinos subscribing to its quality products and services.

"Our newest campaign isn't just about showcasing our products and services; it's about celebrating the mutual love that we have with our millions of DITOzens. Galing na mismo sa mga subscribers namin, as evidenced by the Ookla Rated #1 Mobile Network award, napusuan na talaga nila ang DITO. Truly grateful that we are now number one in their hearts and minds," said Evelyn Jimenez, DITO Chief Revenue Officer-Consumer.

#1 power couple DongYan now joins the Rated #1 Mobile Network in PH

Renowned for their charm and charisma on and off screen, DITO brings in Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera, the stars of Rewind, as the power couple behind this new and exciting chapter in DITO's journey.

"Launching this campaign with Dingdong and Marian, the newest members of the DITO family, is a pivotal move to encourage more Filipinos to experience our next-generation technology. As we all know, Dingdong and Marian are not just big names in the Philippine entertainment industry; they are icons that inspire positive change and growth across diverse communities. Being the digital stars of DITO signifies not just a collaboration but a sweeping movement across the country—a shared vision of empowering and connecting more Filipinos nationwide," said Jasper Evangelista, DITO Brand and Marketing Director.

In the recently released online video of DITO SA PUSO KO, Dingdong and Marian were initially seen as the only ones with hearts.

This scene reflects the journey of DITO; through the power of high-speed connectivity and value-for-money products, along with the DITOzens' constant support and trust, DITO is now loved by millions of subscribers nationwide.

"At the outset, breaking into the market was a really a daunting challenge, specially amidst the long-standing duopoly.  We needed to fight for our place on the table and establish who we are as a telco brand and what we really value as a company. Armed with a customer-centric mentality and a passion to make a difference , DITO thrived and flourished. We only started with thousands of subscribers, and now, after three years, we have millions of DITOzens who love and trust our brand and our products. And because of that, we are really grateful."
