Tweet

 The country’s no. 1 smartphone brand as of Q2 2021 generated successful results for its premium yet affordable flagship smartphone within the first week of its local debut. 

realme, the country’s no. 1 smartphone brand for Q2 2021, once again proves its mettle in the local tech arena with a successful launch week for its two latest products: the realme GT Master Edition, and the realme Book.  

 

Following their Philippine debut on September 23, these two products performed well in the market, with thousands of Filipinos placing their orders via exclusive e-commerce partner Lazada, and in over 5,000 realme stores and partner dealers nationwide.  

 

The realme GT Master Edition, the brand’s latest flagship offering, was a hit among realme fans as proven by its sold-out status on Lazada in less than 24 hours since its launch. It also generated impressive results from the Lazada Sulit Sweldo Sale on September 30, as well as from the brand’s first offline selling weekend on October 2 to 3, making it the fastest realme smartphone to sell out on its first weekend.  

 

Coming in two stunning colors, the realme GT Master Edition showcases the brand’s mastery of design and product innovation. The Voyager Grey sports the industry’s first vegan leather concave design by internationally acclaimed industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa, while the Daybreak Blue variant takes inspiration from the colors of dawn with a holographic back panel. Under the hood, it boasts a Snapdragon 778G 5G processor, 120Hz Super AMOLED display, 65W SuperDart Charge, and 64MP Primary Camera, making the realme GT Master Edition the ideal option for those looking for a premium and stylish smartphone with specs that are tough to beat. 

 

Meanwhile, the brand’s first-ever laptop, the realme Book, also underscored its promising debut performance within the category, as it generated a staggering amount of pre-orders for both i3 and i5 variants, just hours within its official launch on Lazada.  

 

The realme Book is lauded by the realme Squad—fans, media, and influencers alike—for its slim and lightweight design, high-resolution 2K Full-Vision Display, and 54Wh large battery with 65W Super-Fast Charge, among many other notable features, all within an accessible price range. In addition, it runs on the latest 11th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor in i3 and i5 variants, and is equipped with Stereo Sound by DTS (Powerful Bass Sound by HARMAN). It comes in two stylish colors: Real Silver and Real Blue. 

 

The debut success of realme’s latest offerings once again proves the brand’s ability to disrupt the industry with high-caliber tech products that stay within an accessible price point. “We are grateful for the Squad’s continued support and trust for our latest line-up of premium yet affordable products. Rest assured, the brand is committed to breaking the line that divides affordability and premium quality, to provide the best digital experience to every Filipino”, shares Austine Huang, realme Philippines’ VP for Marketing. 

 

The realme GT Master Edition and the realme Book are still available for purchase via the realme Philippines Official Store on Lazada. In addition, the realme GT Master Edition can be availed in all realme concept stores, kiosks, and partner dealers nationwide. For those who prefer experiencing the realme Book before purchasing, they can head over to all Silicon Valley outlets nationwide to check it out.  

 

The realme GT Master Edition retails for P18,990 for 8+128GB, and P21,990 for 8+256GB.  The realme Book is available at P37,990 for the Core i3, and P47,990 for the Core i5.  

 

Flexible payment plans are also available for these premium yet affordable offerings. The realme Squad can purchase the realme GT Master Edition via Home Credit at 0%-interest installment plans for up to 9 months. Installment plans via major credit cards are also available.

"Baro't Saya Tuwa At Ligaya"- the first solo art exhibit of Edgar San Diego, all set to open on Oct. 9

Tweet

SM Megamall proudly presents the first solo art exhibit of noted fashion designer EDGAR SAN DIEGO titled ‘BARO’T SAYA TUWA AT LIGAYA’

from October 9 - 15, 2021

Ground Level, Mega Fashion Hall at SM Megamall.

The theme of the exhibit is a ‘Tribute of Joy to the Filipina and her Traditional Dress amidst the Pandemic.’

Edgar’s love for the beautiful Filipina, traditions, costumes and production design is evident on his paintings, keeping in mind that the colors are bright and the subjects are happy in creating positive vibes which we need most in this pandemic. He chose to deal with beautiful characters in their colorful costumes and nostalgic scenarios.

Why this crossover from fashion design to visual arts ?

“I turned 60 last March 13, 2020. And then after 2 days, the lockdown was imposed. I thought that it was only going to last for a month or two. So to keep me away from boredom, I cleaned the house, reorganized my cabinets and do things that I neglected when I was busy with my dress shop. However, when I ran out of things to fix, I decided to pick up my brushes and called my canvas supplier. Luckily, she was open all the time to accept my orders. What I did was to order an extra 4 to 6 canvases which eventually gave me no excuse to stop.”

“I shared posted some of my early works on Facebook while daughter Abby posted them on her Instagram account. The favorable remarks and thousands of likes were heartwarming and encouraged me to create more. The choices for the artworks included in this exhibit is also based on how much people reacted to them.”

Just like in fashion, Edgar always takes inspiration from classic masters like Christian Dior, Balenciaga, YSL, Inno Sotto, and Joe Salazar. In the visual arts, he admires Gustav Klimt, Vincent Van Gogh, Edgar Degas, Diego Rivera, Claude Monet, Fernando Amorsolo, and Carlos Botong Francisco.

For his women of style and substance, Edgar’s inspiration comes from Frida Kahlo, Tamara de Lempicka, Betsty Westerndorp, among others.

Before Edgar San Diego became a fashion designer, he used to hand-paint on formal clothes for established designers during his UST Fine Arts days. He was also a display-window artist at the Plaza Fashion Mart where he had a chance to meet fashion directors, models and more designers whom he we will eventually work with after college.

In 1981, he was invited and became the youngest pioneer of the Fashion Designers Association of the Philippines where he eventually served as president for 4 terms.

Edgar’s citations and awards include: “Haute Couture Designer of the Year” in the Manila Fashion Designers Awards in 1989.

“Grand Prix Best Costume Award” in Carnival in Rio in Manila, which brought him to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 19905-time winner in the Annual Flores de Mayo at The Manila Hotel.

Philippine representative to the 1989 Asean Fashion Connections in Singapore

Awarded as one of the Outstanding Alumni of UST College of Fine Arts and Don Bosco Technical Institue

As a costume designer, Edgar’s credits include Repertory Philippines’ “The Wizard of Oz”, “The Man of La Mancha”, “M Butterfly”, “Aladdin”, “The Sound of Music”, etc. ;Trumpets’ “The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe” , and “Little Mermaid” and New Port theater’s “ Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”.

He also made cinematic costumes for Star Cinema’s “ Sarah ang Munting Princesa” and “Ceddie”.

Edgar has also successfully promoted fashion and culture through fashion shows with Filipino communities in New York, New Jersey, California, Florida, Atlanta, Missouri, Chicago, Guam, Honolulu, and London. His solo gala fashion shows were also presented in Manila, Honolulu, Jakarta an Melbourne.

Baro't Saya Tuwa At Ligaya is co-presented by SM Appliance Center, TCL, Amelia's Garden, Artistshop, BERINGER Wines, Doltz Pilar, Flyace Corporation, Gari P. Palmani.

The production team of the exhibit are as follows: Dan Pablo (videographer), Jun Lopez (curator), Willie de Vera (photographer), Toots Tolentino (publicist) and Barbara San Diego (muse).

A percentage of the sales will be donated to Special Services of Jose Reyes Medical Center through Mr. Rheez Chua.
