Tweet

While most of us may be staying home during this time, that doesn’t mean we’ve become less busy. With new hobbies and responsibilities, life is now, if possible, even more action-packed. And when you’ve got your hands full each day, it can all feel a little overwhelming sometimes—but you can do it with a little help!

Whether you’ve discovered passions, taken on more responsibilities at work, or even picked up side hustles, you need items to boost your productivity and help you make the most out of each day. The onset of the ber months marks an even busier season, so you need the right tools to keep you focused and efficient. And at Shopee’s 9.9 Super Shopping Day, you can find the perfect products to accompany you as you set out to accomplish all your goals.

For the outdoor explorers

In the midst of the pandemic, a lot of us fell in love with nature. We all needed a bit of escape, after all, and found peace of mind in outdoor pursuits. If you love hiking or biking, keep track of your heart rate and GPS with the HUAWEI Fit Smart Watch. For those who love jogging, queue up some tunes to keep you company with Sabbat X12 Bluetooth Earphones, which provides a punchy bass, dynamic stereo experience, and high-definition sound quality with its aptX technology. Lastly, whatever outdoor activity you’re into, don’t forget to stay safe and hydrated. Keep your water refreshingly cold for up to up to 24 hours with Hydro Flask 20 oz.

 For the city hustlers

If you’re a city hustler who braves the metro to go to work, run errands, or operate your own business, you need gadgets that can keep you powered while on the go. Anker PowerCore Powerbank can charge up to two devices simultaneously at high speed. Traverse through the city with Lenovo D1 Lite, a navigation monitor which comes with a surround view, high-fidelity radio, and voice and sound control. Meanwhile, you can work in transit using the HUAWEI MatePad. This tablet has a RAM of 4GB, a battery of 7250mAh, and a maximum storage card capacity of microSD 512GB.

For the productive homebodies

It’s not easy to stay productive when you’re always just at home, but with the right gadgets, you can accomplish your to-do list each day. Create a clutter-free workspace with the wireless Logitech K380 Bluetooth Keyboard, which has a range of 10 m. Google Nest Mini works perfectly for both work and play with its built-in Chromecast, Google Assistant, and Bluetooth 5.0. You can’t stay productive in a dirty space, so keep your home clean with Deerma Household Vacuum Cleaner.

Having grown together from being trainees to full-fledged rookie idol groups, BINI and BGYO are taking the next big steps that will define their journey and their sound as they gear up for their upcoming joint concert and respective debut albums.

BINI and BGYO are making history with their sibling concert – the first in P-pop – called “One Dream: The BINI x BGYO Concert,” which will be streamed worldwide on November 6 and 7 on KTX.PH, iWantTFC, and TFC IPTV.

“One Dream: The BINI x BGYO Concert” is also the first two-day concert in the Philippines to feature a unique repertoire per day, promising a grand extravaganza of world-class performances of old favorites and new releases.

The November 6 show will be filled with electrifying performances by each group, collaborations on fan-favorite songs, and exciting numbers by surprise guest artists. On November 7, BINI and BGYO will present more live collabs, sub-unit performances, powerful vocal showcases, and a fan meet on KTX.PH.

Fans who want to buy the SVIP tickets, which are available starting August 31 and are priced at P1,950 or US$39.99, will be able to watch the two shows and join the fan meet on KTX.PH. VIP tickets, meanwhile, will be sold at P1,490 or US$29.99 on KTX.PH, iWantTFC, and TFC IPTV and will provide access to the two shows.

A special early bird promotion for VIP tickets will have a limited run from August 31 to September 2 only. Those who want to buy early will have access to the two shows with a special price of P999 or US$19.99.

Before their joint concert in November, both groups are coming out with their much-awaited full-length debut albums, both of which will have all-original songs. Some members of the groups also got to flex their creativity by composing their own songs for the albums.

For BINI, fans can anticipate the release of the group’s sophomore single in September before the whole debut album drops in October.

BGYO, on the other hand, will continue promoting “The Baddest,” whose music video recently trended worldwide on YouTube and hit number one on iTunes Philippines, before the release of the album, also in October.

Search for “Pinoy Big Brother Kumunity Season 10” housemates begins this September on Kumu

Tweet

ABS-CBN’s “Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Kumunity Season 10” begins its search for new housemates as it gears up for another season that will show to the world the excellence, strength, resourcefulness, and goodness of Filipinos.

Toni, Bianca, and Robi, back as main hosts

After last week’s big announcement on the return of the popular reality show, auditions for the Adult Edition will officially open on September 1 to 30 via the Pinoy community platform Kumu. The upcoming tenth regular season of “PBB” will also feature Celebrity and Teen Editions.

“We wanted to give viewers something new. Matagal na rin kasi na wala tayong celebrity housemates na group. The last one was Lucky Season 7 pa. Ngayon sila ‘yung magsisimula ng season then followed by adults and teens then sa dulo may mangyayaring twist na dapat abangan,” said “PBB” creative head Marcus Vinuya in the virtual media conference held on Monday (August 30).

Also present in the event were ABS-CBN entertainment production head and Star Magic head Lauren Dyogi and hosts Toni Gonzaga, Bianca Gonzalez, and Robi Domingo, who expressed excitement for the return of the program.

“Doing ‘PBB’ is like a part of our lives already, nina Bianca and Robi. This is our second home. And it’s always a big blessing when we are given an opportunity to the another season para sa ating mga Kapamilya,” said Toni, who has been a part of “PBB” since it started in 2005.

According to Bianca, who was part of “PBB Celebrity Edition 1,” the entire “PBB” family is grateful to be together again to bring light and joy to viewers during this pandemic.

“Kita mo ‘yung saya nung tao…‘yung fans na sobrang excited na sumaya, ma-inspire. Kasi in the middle of everything na pinagdaraanan natin grabe ‘yung joy, ‘yung inspiration, ‘yung hope na nabigay nung last season sa napakaraming manonood,” she said.

Robi revealed that they have been wishing for another season as early as the “PBB” Season 9 Big Night.

“Just like the theme, ‘yung pangarap pwedeng magkakatoo. Saktong-sakto few months after the Big Night eto na we’re gonna have the auditions for the tenth season of PBB,” said the runner-up of “PBB Teen Edition Plus” who is now one of the most in demand hosts and respected youth advocates in the country.

Lauren, meanwhile, expressed his joy of seeing the trio together again for another “PBB” season, as well as other ex-housemates who have also remained part of the show in one way or another.

“Every time I see ex-housemates also getting their lives better, it gives us the motivation and the drive to continue with ‘PBB.’ Kasi ito talaga ‘yung patuloy na kahit papano nagbabago ng buhay. That experience alone, of auditioning and being a housemate, talagang may maidudulot itong mabuti sa inyo. On behalf of ABS-CBN management, we would like to thank Kumu for partnering again with us for this new season,” he said.

Meanwhile, other ex-housemates shared their memorable experiences and lessons learned inside the “PBB” house and also gave tips to aspiring housemates during the “PBB Kumunity Season 10” Party last Friday (August 30) on Kumu.

“Natutuwa akong malaman na hanggang ngayon ay pinapahalagahan ninyo ang mga alaala ninyo sa loob ng aking bahay at patuloy na isinasabuhay ang mga aral na natutunan ninyo bilang housemates. Naway patuloy kayong maging ehemplo sa mga susunod pang magiging housemates ng aking bahay,” Big Brother told them.

To audition for “PBB Kumunity Season 10,” hopefuls just need to download the Kumu app, create an account, and upload a 1-minute Kumu clip where he or she will introduce oneself and say why he or she is deserving to become a housemate, and use the hashtag “PBBKumuAdults.”

Auditions for Adult Edition for those who are 20 to 40 years old will be until September 30, while auditions for the Teen Edition, for those 15 to 19 years old, will begin on December 1 to December 31 and will use the hashtag “PBBKumuTeens.”

Stay tuned for more exciting announcements about “PBB Kumunity Season 10” on Facebook (@PBBABSCBNTV), Twitter (@PBBABSCBN), and Kumu (@PBBABSCBN).For other ABS-CBN updates, follow @ABS-CBNPR on Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram (@abscbnpr)

Try these safe shopping options on your next Araneta City visit!

Tweet

With the transition of Metro Manila to slightly looser quarantine restrictions, many of your favorite establishments in Araneta City are once again opening their doors to welcome customers!

Gateway Mall, Ali Mall, and Farmers Plaza are now open from 10 AM to 7 PM for all shoppers. Whether you’re shopping for clothes, the latest gadgets, or essential items such as food and medicine, you can now do so at the City of Firsts!

Meanwhile, as the health and safety of its customers is the top consideration for the City of Firsts, they have devised a few innovative solutions for customers who need alternative ways of shopping.

1. Curbside pickup

Araneta City offers Drive & Go curbside pickup service for shoppers who are looking for a quick and convenient way to purchase their needs. Through this offer, customers can get the items they bought without the need to step out of their car. To place an order, customers just need to call the store they want to place their order in, settle the payment, and determine the pickup schedule for the ordered items. Just check www.aranetacity.com to see the contact details of the store you want to purchase from.

Five locations around Araneta City have been determined as pickup spots. These are:

● Gateway Mall (fronting Boulangerie 22 at Gen. Roxas Avenue)

● Ali Mall (fronting Starbucks, Times Square Entrance)

● Shopwise Arcade (fronting Tour Les Jours at Gen. Aguinaldo Avenue)

● Farmers Plaza (fronting BDO at Gen. Roxas Avenue)

● Farmers Market (fronting JAM at Session Road)

Customers only need to wait for a maximum of 10 minutes for their items to be brought to them by store attendees, making each transaction quick and stress-free. What’s more, the use of the Drive & Go curbside pickup service is absolutely free of charge!

2. Item reservation

Araneta City’s Ask Ara virtual shopper and delivery service allow shoppers to buy items at the City of Firsts without having to leave their homes or offices. All they need to do is message Ara, the virtual shopper, and she’ll do the shopping and delivery of items.

But do you know that you may also request Ara to reserve items in a store for future pickup?

Just visit the Ask Ara Facebook page and send a message to virtual shopper Ara. Identify the items you want to reserve, discuss pickup date and how payment will be settled, and it’s all set!

3. Cashless/electronic payment

Meanwhile, to ensure that customers also have a safe option to pay for the freshest fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood, Araneta City has also teamed up with GCash to enable vendors at the Farmers Market to accept contactless digital payments. This can be done through the Scan to Pay feature via GCash’s QR technology.

Customers who have GCash will only need to scan the unique QR code conspicuously placed in any Farmers Market stall so that they can pay for the goods they purchased.

Safety protocols in place

To ensure the safety of all customers, Araneta City is also strictly implementing government-mandated health protocols to keep visitors, workers, and residents safe and healthy. Temperature checks at every point of entry, the mandatory wearing of masks and face shields, and intensified disinfection of various surfaces are some of the measures implemented throughout the property to ensure the well-being of everyone.

Aside from these measures, shoppers can also be reassured by the fact that all Araneta City’s malls have been awarded with Safety Seals from the local government of Quezon City, proof of its exemplary adherence to safety protocols set by the government.

“Services like this are specifically designed to improve the shopping experience of our customers even amid a pandemic,” Araneta City AVP Marjorie Go said. “Through these services, we enable them to shop for the things they need while ensuring their health and safety in every step of the process.”
