TECNO devotes itself into a more inclusive camera technology to create a world with more understanding and connections

Tweet

TECNO, a premium smartphone brand focused on emerging markets, recently partnered with BBC StoryWorks to create a short film The Future Lens: Looking Ahead With TECNO to explore how mobile camera lens provides inclusive mobile camera technologies to local consumers.

“Cameras have evolved over the years, but unfortunately, it feels like the technology isn't created with everyone in mind. As a photographer, I think one of the most intimate things you can do is take a portrait of someone that accurately portrays who they are.” according to the photographer, Justin Amoafo.

This is where TECNO comes into the picture. TECNO envisions a world where inclusive phone design can help form communities, connect people with one another and ensure no one is left behind. In the film, TECNO illustrates why portrait imaging is its most ground-breaking technology and how it has empowered users of dark skin tones to realize all possibilities of expression.

Based on innovations that can significantly increase light intake, and an enormous database that covers 7 skin types across 76 skin categories, TECNO has made a significant impact in resolving the technical challenges regarding exposure, colors, and hues in portrait photography. Meanwhile, in TECNO TAIVOS Camera Lab, more than 3,000 local samples with approximately 6,120 evaluation scenarios spanning 115 countries enable the camera lab team possible to focus on the localized ethnic research, social aesthetic ideology and aesthetic preference research, so as to make the experience of product image effect direction conform to the localized trends. All these innovations bring users technology that they do not have to adapt to, but that instead accommodates for them.

“The future Lens is the world without limit. Technology should include everyone and let us to be our true selves, instead of being depicted through a subjective lens. I believe that it should be the mission of humans to create the technology that is more understanding and inclusive of all of us.” said Li Jiangtao, Senior Director of TECNO Imaging Product and head of TECNO TAIVOS™ Camera Lab.

As a rising innovator in mobile camera technology, TECNO devotes itself through an inclusive and emerging market-specific approach to bringing its “Future Lens” camera concept to consumers.

The brand’s continuous innovations, its initiatives to develop cameras that function at a professional level, and the impact of these efforts on progressive young consumers have encapsulated its brand essence of “Stop At Nothing” and the inclusive future they want to create.

Enjoy Shopping & Dining with Safety & Convenience at Ortigas Malls

Tweet

 As the country gradually eases out of the pandemic, more and more Filipino families are enjoying everyday trips to the mall, though still on “safe mode” – making only quick visits or hanging out mostly at nearby community malls which consistently enforce government health protocols.   

Leading mall operator Ortigas Malls believes many responsible shoppers these days feel more confident resuming their malling lifestyle at malls such as Greenhills, Tiendesitas, Estancia, and Industria. Aside from the high convenience factor they offer, mall-goers appreciate the consistent enforcement of safety protocols to keep staff and patrons safe, which after all is what being in a community is about.  

“At all Ortigas Malls branches, we take being part of a community to heart. Above everything else, we prioritize our mall guests’ health and safety, allowing them to worry less and enjoy more. To do this, we heavily invested on safety measures and work closely with our retailers. We also make sure to continually engage our patrons, reminding them to observe health protocols at all times. Health is everyone’s concern so we made sure to enforce our safety program as a community project,” said Arch. Renee Bacani, Vice President of Ortigas Malls.

Experience safe malling

Among the earliest mall chains to have 100% of its staff and employees inoculated and boosted, all Ortigas Malls branches also carry the local government unit’s Safety Seal Certification. The seal is issued only to establishments that strictly comply with the Inter-Agency Task Force health guidelines and policies, and is renewable every 6 months, subject to continued compliance.

On top of strict adherence to health protocols, Bacani said Ortigas Malls patrons also find their branches ideal for quick trips, as well as for enjoying specific leisure activities with the family. Each branch is located in highly accessible spots and has ample parking facilities. More than that, each branch offers a distinct shopping community experience that is both special and matchless. This means, customers never have to waste a lot of time wading through a maze of establishments they don’t intend to visit nor risk exposure with crowds they don’t intend to mingle with.

Get the perks of being an Ortigas Community Card  member  

Giving mall-goers that truly neighborly feel is the Ortigas Community Card, which grants card members exclusive privileges when they shop or dine from merchant members in all branches. They also get to enjoy extra perks including free parking and complimentary use of the customer lounge in Greenhills.

What does love truly mean? This February, the award-winning and highly anticipated Kwentong Jollibee Valentine series is back to tug at everyone’s heartstrings, launching a new trio of special short films that show the different ways people experience love and discover its true meaning.

“It’s the sixth year of the Kwentong Jollibee Valentine series and what we always realize is that love comes in different forms and can be defined in myriad ways, unique from person to person. The stories were inspired by true-to-life experiences of real people in the pandemic, with unexpected twists that lead people into finding what love truly means for them,” said Jollibee AVP and Head of Brand PR, Engagement and Digital Marketing, Arline Adeva.

Directed by Antoinette Jadaone and JP Habac, the Kwentong Jollibee 2022 Valentines series tugs the heart of Filipinos with stories of finding real love.

“As in our past runs of Kwentong Jollibee, our goal is to celebrate the uniqueness of each love story and showcase the timeless lessons that can inspire and give hope to our viewers. All three episodes are anchored on powerful truths that surfaced during these challenging times when all kinds of relationships were somehow put to the test.” she added.

Pandemic or not, no Valentine’s Day is complete without a Kwentong Jollibee series.

This year, Jollibee is at it again with a new trilogy that is sure to touch the hearts of audiences across generations.

Hold on to real love in the face of never-ending challenges with the Kwentong Jollibee “600 Days” Valentines episode.

600 Days, is love worth the trouble? —This is the question posed by Brian and Mina’s story which is, set to premiere on February 9 on the brand’s official Facebook page. The couple was first introduced in last year’s #LDR, which chronicled their struggles as the distance and pandemic kept them apart. They thought the worst is over, but as the pandemic progresses, new challenges keep rocking their relationship. Do they have what it takes to still make things work? Find out in this heartwarming sequel by the same director of Kwentong Jollibee LDR, Antoinette Jadaone.

Kwentong Jollibee’s “Dream Guy” is a swoon-worthy love story made for the K-drama fans.

Dream Guy, which will be released on February 13, tells the story of Kaye, a hallyu fan who dreams of having her own ultimate oppa love story. For her, meeting Jung feels like starring in her very own K-drama, but he might not be what she imagined him to be. This charming love story also helmed by Jadaone will surely delight the hearts of Korean love story fans.

Meet the different types of love through the stories of three girlkada members on 

Kwentong Jollibee’s “ILY”.

ILY, streaming on February 18, is a different kind of love story that will make young people realize all the more the value of the people they have in their lives. Directed by JP Habac (who also directed the recent blockbuster short film One True Pair The Movie), it’s the perfect short film to watch with your besties or even the whole family.

Kwentong Jollibee has released 36 short films since it was first introduced in 2017. Inspired by the genuine life experiences of the brand’s loyal customers, the episodes have truly resonated among Jollibee fans of all ages, marking more than 800 million views on Facebook and YouTube.
